South Korea Should “Brexit” the United States

by Jacob G. Hornberger November 8, 2017

With President Trump being accompanied by three U.S. carrier groups during his trip to Korea, South Koreans should pull a “Brexit” on the United States. As I counseled last April and August in two separate articles, South Korea should dissolve their alliance with the United States and kick all U.S. troops out of the country. (See “South Korea ...

Martin Luther King and Lee Harvey Oswald

by Jacob G. Hornberger November 7, 2017

The mainstream media and the acolytes of the U.S. national-security establishment continue to emphasize that there are no “smoking guns” in the tiny (2 percent) of the 50-year-old JFK records that President Trump, the National Archives, and the CIA have recently permitted the American people to see. Of course, these people define “smoking gun” as a videotaped confession or a ...

The National Archives: Lawbreaker and Cover-Upper

by Jacob G. Hornberger November 6, 2017

On October 26, 2017, the National Archives, an independent federal agency that is headed by a man named David Ferriero, became a federal lawbreaker. The reason? On that date, the National Archives became legally obligated to release to the public all of the CIA’s and other federal agencies’ files relating to the JFK assassination in its possession. On that date, the ...

The Cunningness of the CIA’s JFK Assassination Cover-Up

by Jacob G. Hornberger November 3, 2017

Whatever else might be said about the assassination of President Kennedy, one thing is for sure: The cover-up of this particular U.S. regime-change operation was one of the most ingenious and cunning plots ever designed. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, given that practically from its inception in 1947 the CIA was specializing in the arts of assassination, regime change, and ...

Oliver Stone Was Right about the CIA

by Jacob G. Hornberger November 2, 2017

I can’t decide which is more amusing: the CIA’s use of “national security” to justify keeping secret its 50-year-old records in the JFK assassination or the mainstream media’s response to the continued secrecy. On the one hand, the CIA’s use of “national security” to justify keeping 98 percent of the still-secret records is palpably laughable. However one defines that nebulous ...

The JFK Cover-Up Continues

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 27, 2017

While the mainstream media was announcing for the past two weeks that President Trump was going to release the CIA’s long-secret records on the JFK assassination, I took a different position. On Monday of this week, I predicted that Trump would make a deal with the CIA that would enable the CIA to continue its cover-up of the JFK ...

The Free Market Levels the Playing Field

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 26, 2017

One of the favorite pastimes of leftists/progressives/liberals is lamenting the fact that some people have more while others have less. They say that life is just unfair in this respect. They want the government to “level the playing field” by using taxation to take money from those who have more and giving it to those who have less. Their ...

No “Smoking Guns” in the JFK Records?

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 25, 2017

Most of the mainstream media continues telling their readers not to expect any “smoking guns” in the JFK records that are supposed to be released tomorrow. That’s assuming, of course, that President Trump doesn’t change his mind at the last minute and grant the CIA’s request for continued secrecy. I stand by the prediction I made earlier this week. ...

Circumstantial Evidence in the JFK Assassination

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 24, 2017

Having recently discovered this Thursday’s legal deadline for the National Archives’s mandated release of JFK assassination records that the CIA, FBI, and other agencies have succeeded in keeping secret for more than 50 years, the mainstream media is repeatedly emphasizing that the records will contain no “smoking guns.” Well, duh! As I stated in my article yesterday, “I Predict ...

I Predict Trump Will Continue the CIA’s JFK Assassination Cover-Up

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 23, 2017

Last Friday, President Trump made the following announcement: I have decided not to block release of the CIA’s remaining JFK-assassination related records except for those records that directly implicate the CIA in the assassination, which will continue to remain secret.” Okay, he didn’t really put it like that. But that’s the potential and likely import of his announcement, which actually read ...

Isolationism and Open Borders

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 20, 2017

In an implicit rebuke of President Trump, former President Bush delivered a speech this week in which he warned against “isolationism sentiments.” Isolationist sentiments? Is he kidding? Don’t make me laugh. Trump has made it very clear that he is firmly committed to continuing the forever wars that Bush launched in Afghanistan and Iraq more than 15 years ago and ...

The Troops Do Not Die for Their Country

by Jacob G. Hornberger October 19, 2017

As I have repeatedly emphasized over the years, including in my article yesterday, “Trump’s Horrible Truth to the Soldier’s Widow,” U.S. troops who have been killed in Niger, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam, Korea, or other faraway places did not die to defend the rights and freedoms of the American people. That’s a lie, a lie that unfortunately is ...
