JFK and Regime-Change Conspiracies by Jacob G. Hornberger October 16, 2017 With the National Archives’ impending October 26 release of JFK-assassination records that the CIA has succeeded in keeping secret for more than 50 years, the mainstream media will undoubtedly obsess even more with the term “conspiracy theory,” the term that the CIA secretly came up several years ago to discourage people from looking too closely at the circumstantial ...
Faith and the Las Vegas Massacre by Jacob G. Hornberger October 12, 2017 The response of hospitals to the Las Vegas massacre confirms what I have been saying for the past 28 years of FFF’s existence: that Americans can trust themselves and freedom and get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and all other governmental involvement in healthcare. Let’s first ask ourselves an important question: Why do we have Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare? The answer, ...
Will Trump Make a Deal with the CIA on JFK Records? by Jacob G. Hornberger October 11, 2017 There are now two weeks left before the National Archives releases CIA records relating to the President Kennedy assassination, records that the CIA has succeeded in keeping secret for more than 50 years, on grounds of “national security” of course. The JFK Records Act, enacted in 1992 in response to public outrage over continued official secrecy in the JFK assassination, ...
Che Guevara and the Destruction of America’s Values by Jacob G. Hornberger October 10, 2017 Yesterday, thousands of people gathered in Bolivia to honor Che Guevara, the communist revolutionary and Fidel Castro ally who was executed by Bolivian troops on October 9, 1967. Yesterday’s event could also have served as a commemoration of the destruction of American values by the U.S. national-security establishment, namely the Pentagon and the CIA. Prior to his execution, Guevara had been ...
Motivation and Justification in the Las Vegas Massacre by Future of Freedom Foundation October 9, 2017 Ever since the Las Vegas massacre, investigators have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what Stephen Paddock’s motive was in killing all those people. So far, they still haven’t come up with an answer, but they are still trying. What I find fascinating about this process is that no one in the mainstream press or, for ...
Before Agreeing to Gun Control, Remember Chile by Jacob G. Hornberger October 6, 2017 Calls for gun control after a mass shooting in America has, of course, become standard fare. But before Americans permit themselves to be stampeded into surrendering their right to own guns, it would be wise to keep Chile in mind. In 1973, the Chilean national-security establishment, after winning a quick military battle against the president of the country, took power. ...
America’s Warfare State and the Las Vegas Massacre by Jacob G. Hornberger October 5, 2017 When it comes to the massacre in Las Vegas, I am on the same page as John Whitehead, the president of the Rutherford Institute, whose articles we regularly publish here at The Future of Freedom Foundation. Consider what he writes in his excellent article “Mass Shootings: The Military-Entertainment Complex’s Culture of Violence Turns Deadly,” which I highly recommend ...
Milton Friedman and Conservatives: Wrong on Education by Jacob G. Hornberger October 4, 2017 Once upon a time, some conservatives used to call for the abolition of the U.S. Department of Education. Lamentably, conservatives today celebrate when a “free-market advocate” like multimillionaire Betsy DeVos is appointed U.S. Secretary of Education, and they get terribly excited when she speaks at conservative conferences. Meanwhile, even while conservatives continue to pronounce their allegiance to their favorite mantra ...
U.S. Violence Abroad Begets Violence at Home by Jacob G. Hornberger October 3, 2017 Although ISIS is claiming that Las Vegas mass murderer Stephen Paddock was one of theirs and was acting on its behalf, so far no independent evidence has surfaced to confirm ISIS’s claim. If such evidence does emerge, it will be one more of a long series of deadly “blowback” occurrences arising from U.S. interventionism abroad. But even if Paddock’s mass ...
America: The Dictatress of the World by Jacob G. Hornberger October 2, 2017 On July 21, 1821, John Quincy Adams, who would go on to become the sixth president of the United States, warned that if America were ever to abandon its founding principle of non-interventionism in foreign affairs, she might well become the dictatress of the world. Adams issued his warning in a speech he delivered to Congress, a speech that has ...
Cuban Doctors Are Teaching Us About U.S. Slavery by Jacob G. Hornberger September 29, 2017 Cuban doctors working in Brazil have just put the American left, including self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders, in a very awkward position. According to an article in today’s New York Times, the doctors have filed suit in Brazil complaining of their enslavement by their own government — the Cuban government — as part of Cuba’s single-payer, socialist, one-size-fits-all healthcare ...
North Korea Would Be Stupid to Trust the U.S. by Jacob G. Hornberger September 28, 2017 To many mainstream pundits, the solution to the crisis in Korea is for U.S. officials to sit down and “talk” to North Korea in the hopes of negotiating a mutually beneficial agreement. While it won’t guarantee that a deal will be worked out, they say, "talking" is the only chance there is to resolve the crisis. They ignore an important ...
