My Favorite Period in History by Jacob G. Hornberger December 29, 2022 My favorite period of history is the United States in the years 1870-1915. Why? Because it is the freest period in the history of man. Was it a libertarian panacea? Nope. There were, in fact, infringements on liberty, such as the violation of women’s rights, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1870, compulsory school-attendance laws in Massachusetts, ...
Thirty-Three Years of FFF by Jacob G. Hornberger December 28, 2022 Thirty-three years ago, I founded The Future of Freedom Foundation. I wanted an educational foundation that presented the principled, uncompromising case for the libertarian philosophy. I marvel over the fact that there have been people who have supported our work and kept us going for more than three decades. It hasn’t been easy. From the very beginning, we ...
Is Trump Tucker Carlson’s JFK Assassination Source? by Jacob G. Hornberger December 27, 2022 On December 15, 2022, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson delivered a monologue stating his conviction that the CIA was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The presentation was remarkable given that that sort of thing is never found in the mainstream media. As most everyone knows, the mainstream media avoids the Kennedy assassination like the ...
Ukraine’s War with Russia Has Nothing to Do With Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger December 22, 2022 Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared before a joint session of Congress to plead for more billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to help Ukraine in its war with Russia. One particular sentence in Zelensky’s address caught my attention: “We Ukrainians will also go through our war of independence and freedom with dignity and success.” The ...
January 6 versus Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Uvalde by Jacob G. Hornberger December 21, 2022 On April 20, 1999, 12th-grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado. The weapons they used were a 9mm TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun and double-barreled shotguns. On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. He used ...
I Am Still Not Nostradamus! by Jacob G. Hornberger December 19, 2022 On October 23, 2017, I wrote an article entitled “I Predict Trump Will Continue the CIA’s JFK Assassination Cover-Up." My prediction turned out to be true. Trump extended the JFK cover-up until October 26, 2021. On October 24, 2021, I wrote an article entitled “Biden Will Continue the JFK Cover-Up." My prediction turned ...
The Fed’s Destructive Guessing Game by Jacob G. Hornberger December 15, 2022 As expected, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by half a point yesterday. It was a drop from the .75 point rate increases that the Fed has been implementing for the past several months. A big reason the Fed is going slower is the longstanding fear among Fed officials of bringing about another Great Depression by raising ...

A $250 donation makes you a member of our FFF Freedom Club. Your generous support enables us to do what we do — and have done for 33 years — present the principled case for liberty, with the aim ...
Junior ROTC Fits Perfectly within Public Schools by Jacob G. Hornberger December 12, 2022 The U.S. military is having a tough time meeting recruiting targets, possibly because young people are figuring out that they don’t want to come back from some stupid foreign war without legs or arms or with some brain injury or, even worse, dead. To encourage young people to join up and be all that they can be, public-school ...
What a Bunch of Hooey about Viktor Bout by Jacob G. Hornberger December 9, 2022 It would be difficult to find a bigger pile of hooey in the mainstream press than what they are saying about Viktor Bout. It’s almost as bad as their monumental hooey about Russian citizen Maria Butina. The hooey surrounding Bout and Butina only goes to show what happens to people’s minds when the government inculcates them with an ...
We Must Not Forget the U.S. War on Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger December 8, 2022 When the Pentagon used NATO to provoke Russia into invading Ukraine, it had to know that one of the great benefits to such an invasion would be that it would enrich U.S. weapons manufacturers, who, of course, are an important, integral, and loyal part of America’s national-security state form of governmental structure. And sure enough, those ...
Roosevelt’s Infamy by Jacob G. Hornberger December 7, 2022 Eighty-one years ago today, Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack killed 2,335 military personnel and 68 civilians. It also damaged or destroyed 19 U.S. Navy ships, including 8 battleships. December 7, 1941, was, President Franklin Roosevelt stated, a “date that would live in infamy.” What will also live in infamy is that Roosevelt wanted the ...
