Economic Liberty: A Right or a Privilege? by Jacob G. Hornberger March 6, 2023 Ever since China began liberalizing its economy, it has become fashionable in some circles to suggest that China went “capitalist.” This was especially true as economic prosperity in the country began rising.

An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story by Jacob G. Hornberger March 3, 2023 Almost a year ago, The Future of Freedom Foundation published my book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, which I consider to be the best work I have done in the 33-year history of FFF. For decades, the official story had been that the famous Zapruder film, which captured the assassination of President Kennedy, ...
Immigration Controls Come with Death by Jacob G. Hornberger March 2, 2023 Not surprisingly, immigration-control advocates are coming fiercely to the defense of George Allan Kelly, the 74-year-old Arizona man who is charged with murdering a Mexican citizen who illegally crossed the border into the United States and trespassed on Kelly’s ranch. Kelly and his wife live in a home on the ranch. I wrote about the Kelly case ...
Conservative Mental Dichotomy on the Draft by Jacob G. Hornberger March 1, 2023 The war in Ukraine has displayed a fascinating dichotomy that exists within conservatives. They uniformly condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine while, at the same time, steadfastly ignoring the measures that the Pentagon took through NATO to provoke the invasion. Moreover, while they condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they also continue to steadfastly support the U.S. ...
JFK’s Remarkable Peace Speech that Sealed His Fate by Jacob G. Hornberger February 28, 2023 The deep animosity against Russia and China that the U.S. national-security establishment has inculcated in the American people brings to mind the remarkable speech that President Kennedy delivered on June 10, 1963, at American University that sealed his fate.

RATO and NATO by Jacob G. Hornberger February 27, 2023 Let’s engage in some imagining. Let’s imagine that Russia and China form a new organization, called the Russia Asia Treaty Organization, or RATO. One day they invite Nicaragua, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, and Mexico to become members. All of them agree. The U.S. government objects. “What is the purpose of extending RATO to our part of the ...

Hornberger February 24, 2023 According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon recently spent at least $1.5 million to down high-altitude objects, including the infamous Chinese balloon that supposedly was spying on the United States.

Nicaragua and America’s Golden Goose by Jacob G. Hornberger February 23, 2023 After socialist Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega released several political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States, he proceeded to confiscate their homes and convert them into government-owned assets. His action demonstrates how socialism works here in the United States. What Ortega is doing is taking private property from those who have it and converting to the ...
Brzezinski’s Confession by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2023 While American interventionists remain stone-cold silent about the way that the Pentagon, operating through its old Cold War dinosaur NATO, knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, it’s instructive to remind ourselves that this wasn’t the first time that the Pentagon provoked Russia into invading another country. Let’s go back to 1979, when the Pentagon was ...
