Yay! Biden Lengthens Our Leashes on Cuba by Jacob G. Hornberger May 20, 2022 Out of the goodness of his heart, President Biden has just lengthened our leashes when it comes to Cuba. Isn’t that just so nice? Isn’t it great to live under a nice, benevolent democratically elected dictator rather than a cruel and brutal one? Biden is issuing executive decrees permitting more U.S. flights into Cuba, removing caps on money Americans can send to Cubans, and restoring travel by educational groups. Whoop de doo! Let’s all go out and celebrate Biden’s kindness and generosity. After all, rightwing President Trump certainly wasn’t that nice when it came to Cuba! Let’s get something clear: Freedom is the natural, God-given right to travel wherever you want, trade with whomever you want, and spend your money any way you want. Freedom is not a longer leash. That’s one thing we Americans must always keep in mind, first and foremost: The U.S. embargo on Cuba has always constituted a destruction of our own rights ...

What We Need is a New Direction for America by Jacob G. Hornberger May 5, 2022 If John Kennedy were president today, there never would have been a Russian invasion of Ukraine. That’s because of two things: (1) Kennedy’s unique ability to step into the shoes of an adversary in an attempt to resolve a disagreement; and (2) Kennedy’s willingness to stand up against the Pentagon and the CIA and their fierce anti-Russia animus and ferocious anti-communist crusade. As longtime readers of FFF know, for the past several years I have focused much of my attention on the Kennedy administration and the Kennedy assassination. This is best reflected by my new book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, FFF’s other books relating to the assassination, including The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2 (both by me) and JFK’s War with the National-Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated (by Douglas P. Horne), and FFF conferences relating to the JFK administration and ...
Restore Our Republic by Jacob G. Hornberger May 1, 2022 As predictable as thunder following lightning, former CIA director Robert Gates recently declared that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s increasing assertiveness demonstrate the need for the U.S. government to remain an ever-growing, more powerful national-security state. Gates’s declaration appeared in an op-ed in the March 3, 2022, issue of the Washington Post. He also pointed to Iran and ...
JFK’s Rejection of the Anti-Russia Animus by Jacob G. Hornberger April 28, 2022 Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger is going ballistic over comments made by fellow congressman Rand Paul and Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson that supposedly suggest a support of Russia in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war. Never mind that neither Paul nor Tucker said any such thing. And never mind that the United States is ostensibly not ...
Remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis by Jacob G. Hornberger April 21, 2022 George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Let’s remember the Cuban Missile Crisis in order to better understand the situation in Ukraine. In 1898, the U.S. went to war against Spain in an ostensible attempt to help Cuba and other Spanish colonies achieve their independence. It turned out to ...
Confronting Evil Here at Home by Jacob G. Hornberger April 13, 2022 Americans have no difficulty identifying and confronting evil when it is found in foreign regimes. A good example is Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. Most every American is easily able to identify the evil of that invasion and is more than willing to confront and oppose it. But as I point out in my new book An ...
Why Didn’t Trump Pardon Assange and Snowden? by Jacob G. Hornberger April 12, 2022 In his waning days as president, Donald Trump saw fit to pardon four former Blackwater guards who had been convicted of killing 14 Iraqi civilians and injuring 17 others in an ambush in Baghdad. The guards were in Iraq as part of the U.S. government’s deadly and destructive invasion, war of aggression, and long-term occupation of a country ...
Whoops! Federal Judge Acquits January 6 Defendant by Jacob G. Hornberger April 8, 2022 In what can only come as an extreme shock to people who still view the January 6 Capitol protests as a gigantic conspiracy to violently take over the reins of the federal government, a federal judge has just acquitted New Mexico engineer Matthew Martin of all charges relating to the protests. Acquitted! As in Not Guilty! As in ...
The Anti-Russia Animus by Jacob G. Hornberger April 6, 2022 As we look retrospectively at the crisis in Ukraine, one thing becomes crystal clear: the Cold War never ended, at least not for the U.S. national-security establishment. After what most everyone believed was the end of the Cold War, the Pentagon and the CIA immediately went on the offensive by using NATO, an old Cold War dinosaur that ...
Biden’s Regime-Change Lie by Jacob G. Hornberger April 1, 2022 President Biden’s denial that the U.S. government is committed to regime-change in Russia is a lie. Ever since its inception, the core mission of the U.S. national-security establishment, specifically the Pentagon and the CIA, has been regime change. The goal has always been to oust from power political leaders who operate independently of the Pentagon and the CIA ...
Should We Adopt JFK’s Peace Speech? by Jacob G. Hornberger March 30, 2022 Eight months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy delivered a dramatic paradigm-shifting speech at the commencement exercises at American University. Delivered on June 10, 1963 — almost five months before he would be assassinated — it has gone down in history as JFK’s “Peace Speech.” It was ...
