Cowboy Cartels and Drug-War Inanity by Jacob G. Hornberger December 10, 2024 Having watched the great drug-war Netflix documentaries Narcos and Narcos Mexico and the excellent drug-war drama La Reina del Sur, I wasn’t too interested in watching another drug-war-related series. But when I realized that the Apple TV+ documentary “Cowboy Cartel” revolved around my hometown of Laredo, Texas, where I lived almost half my life and practiced law for ...
The Knudsen Mystery in the Military’s Fraudulent JFK Autopsy by Jacob G. Hornberger December 9, 2024 After I saw Oliver Stone’s movie JFK, which posited that the JFK assassination was a highly sophisticated regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, I read a multitude of books along those lines. Over time, I became convinced that Stone’s thesis was correct. But my conviction was never “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which is the ...
The Man on the White Horse by Jacob G. Hornberger December 6, 2024 It’s no surprise to me that so many people who live on or near the U.S.-Mexico border, including Democrats, voted for Donald Trump for president. Whenever there is ongoing, never-ending chaos and crisis, people look to “the man on the white horse” — that is, the dictatorial “strongman” — to bring “law and order” and “stability” to the ...
Trump’s “National Emergency” and Yoon Suk Yeol’s Martial Law by Jacob G. Hornberger December 5, 2024 There is an important thing to note about South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s recent declaration of martial law: It’s really no different in principle from President-elect Trump’s plans to declare a “national emergency.” The only difference is the extent of power. Yoon Suk Yeol’s martial-law declaration, much like Hitler’s Enabling Act, enabled him to ignore the nation’s ...
Why Ukrainian Soldiers Are Deserting by Jacob G. Hornberger December 4, 2024 A November 29 article in the Los Angeles Times stated that the Ukrainian military is facing a big problem with desertions: Desertion is starving the Ukrainian army of desperately needed manpower and crippling its battle plans at a crucial time in its war against Russia’s invasion, which could put Ukraine at a clear disadvantage in any ...
Don Vito Trump by Jacob G. Hornberger December 3, 2024 Given that supporters of Donald Trump do not like people referring to his upcoming presidency as dictatorial, notwithstanding his own promise to be a dictator on Day 1 of his administration (and possibly beyond), I will simply refer to Trump as Don Vito. That’s because he recently, in the finest Godfather tradition, made Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum an ...
Will Trump Keep or Break His Vow to Release the Secret JFK Records? by Jacob G. Hornberger December 2, 2024 In October 2022, the Mary Ferrell Foundation filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking the release of the JFK-assassination-related records that the CIA and other federal agencies have succeeded in keeping for more than 60 years. The foundation’s suit was based on the notion that the JFK Records Act of 1992 mandated the release of those records. Not ...
