Kill Lists in Ukraine and Guatemala

by Jacob G. Hornberger March 7, 2022

According to the Washington Post, “The United States has warned the United Nations that it has credible information showing that Moscow is compiling lists of Ukrainians ‘to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation,’ according to a letter obtained by the Washington Post.” When I read that, my mind immediately went to Guatemala, which was ...

Surprise! The Supreme Court Defers to the CIA

by Jacob G. Hornberger March 4, 2022

As longtime readers of my blog know, I have long maintained that it is the national-security branch of the federal government that runs the government, especially when it comes to foreign affairs. The other three branches, while being permitted to have the veneer of running the government, actually operate in support of the national-security branch.  This is ...

How JFK Would Have Handled the Ukraine Crisis

by Jacob G. Hornberger March 3, 2022

There is no doubt that President Kennedy would have handled the Ukraine crisis totally different from the way that President Biden has handled it. Unlike Biden, Kennedy would have resolved the situation so that there never would have been a Russian invasion of Ukraine, which would have meant that all the death and suffering being wreaked in that ...

Ukraine: Why the Pentagon and the CIA Hate Julian Assange

by Jacob G. Hornberger March 2, 2022

As most everyone knows, the hatred that U.S. officials have for Julian Assange has no bounds. For years, they have relentlessly and obsessively done everything they can to destroy, isolate, persecute, prosecute, incarcerate, torture, and hound the guy to death. They have even contemplated assassinating him through their omnipotent, dark-side, non-reviewable power of assassination, a power that the ...

Joe Biden, America’s Dictator

by Jacob G. Hornberger March 1, 2022

It happened throughout the Cold War. To fight the communist dictatorships, U.S. officials maintained, it would be necessary for U.S. officials to wield and exercise the same omnipotent, dark-side powers wielded and exercised by those communist dictatorships. Otherwise, if the hands of U.S. officials were tied, such as by constitutional restraints, America, it was said, would inevitably fall ...

Dismantle the U.S. National-Security State, Now

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 28, 2022

Let’s begin with a book that I have been recommending to people for quite some time now. It is entitled National Security and Double Government by Michael J. Glennon. According to Wikipedia, “From 1977-1980, he was counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Glennon was professor of law at the University of California, Davis from 1987-2002, and ...

How Many Chicken Hawks Are in Ukraine?

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 24, 2022

How many American chicken hawks are in Ukraine? I could be wrong but my hunch is zero. That’s right: Not one single American chicken hawk is over there helping the Ukrainians to defend their country against Russia’s attack. They are all sitting here at home, safely ensconced in their living rooms or offices. How many American chicken hawks ...

The Evil of Sanctions

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 23, 2022

After maneuvering Russia into choosing either (1) to permit the U.S. to install its missiles, bases, troops, tanks, and weaponry along Russia’s border in Ukraine or (2) to invade Ukraine to prevent that from happening, President Biden, the Pentagon, and the CIA are now responding to Russia’s choice of (2) by imposing brutal sanctions on the ...

Why They Hated Kennedy, and Why They Killed Him

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2022

While the decision to eliminate President Kennedy undoubtedly took place after his resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was without a doubt solidified when Kennedy ambushed his enemies within the U.S. national-security establishment with his Peace Speech at American University on June 10, 1963. With his Peace Speech, JFK was upsetting the Cold War apple cart that ...

The Evil and Malevolence of the Pentagon’s Brilliant Strategy in Ukraine

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 18, 2022

The crisis in Ukraine demonstrates the sheer malevolent brilliance of Pentagon strategists. Yes, granted, it’s an evil strategy, but nonetheless one cannot help but admire it (in a negative way) for its sheer malevolent ingenuity. The strategy has involved maneuvering Russia into having to make a choice between two scenarios, both of which have bad consequences. The choices ...

U.S. Officials Are Lying Too on Ukraine

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 17, 2022

U.S. officials are declaring unequivocally that Russian officials were lying when Russia stated that it was withdrawing troops from the Russia-Ukraine border. U.S officials say that it’s the exact opposite — that Russia is actually bringing more troops to the border. Russian officials might well be lying about Russian troop movements. It certainly shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially if ...

The U.S. Government’s Evil Actions Against Cuba

by Jacob G. Hornberger February 16, 2022

While the CIA’s and the Pentagon’s assets within the U.S. mainstream press continue to portray Russia as the aggressor in the Ukraine matter, they continue to ignore, or, even worse, support, the U.S. government’s evil actions against Cuba for the past 60-plus years.  It would be difficult to find a better example of evil, or to use ...
