The Danger of Drug-War Raids by Jacob G. Hornberger July 20, 2021 We are all familiar with drug-war raids, especially in the middle of the night, in which cops and DEA agents sometimes shoot and kill people and their pets during the course of the raid. One reason for this phenomenon is that the people who are being raided don’t know who is doing the raiding. Even if the cops ...
Cuban-Americans Love Socialism Too by Jacob G. Hornberger July 19, 2021 Cuban-Americans are ecstatic over the protests erupting in Cuba against socialism. What nonsense! With the notable exception of Cuban-American libertarians, many Cuban-Americans are no more against socialism than the average Cuban citizen is. They just want a pro-Pentagon, pro-CIA regime in Cuba managing their socialist system. Ask any Cuban-American if ...
The CIA, Kennedy, and the Haiti Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger July 16, 2021 The legal authorities have been rounding up suspects in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Criminal prosecutions will follow. If those accused are found guilty, they were be punished with long terms in jail. Ironically, however, if the CIA or the Pentagon had been the ones that assassinated Moïse, the situation would be completely different. There ...
The Critical Race Theory Controversy by Jacob G. Hornberger July 15, 2021 Conservatives and progressives are at it again. They are attacking each other big time over whether Critical Race Theory should be taught in secondary schools and colleges and universities. The fundraising appeals are flying, as each side exhorts people to send in their donations to support whichever side is sending out the fundraising appeal. Yawn! The controversy ...
Lift the Embargo and Leave Cuba Alone by Jacob G. Hornberger July 14, 2021 In the wake of protests by thousands of Cuban citizens, the U.S. government and its rightwing supporters are pointing to Cuba’s socialist economic system as the root cause of suffering by the Cuban people. The Cuban government, on the other hand, and its leftwing supporters here in the United States are pointing to the U.S. embargo as the ...
Envy, Covetousness, and Political Stealing by Jacob G. Hornberger July 13, 2021 The leftist mindset that brought America our welfare-state way of life never ceases to amaze me. Of course, we have become so accustomed to this way of life that hardly anyone pauses and gives thought to the reasoning on which the welfare state is based. Let’s first imagine a federal government whose functions are limited to what ...
Military Rule in America by Jacob G. Hornberger July 12, 2021 While I was watching a recent video on the New York Times website about an inmate at the Pentagon’s and CIA’s torture and prison center at Guantanamo Bay, I was struck by the fascinating artistic talent displayed by a prisoner named Moath al-Alwi. The article in which the video was included is entitled “He Is Imprisoned at ...
The Danger that NATO Poses to Americans by Jacob G. Hornberger July 9, 2021 Imagine a massive nuclear exchange between the United States and China. That obviously would not be a pretty sight for the people of either nation. As the mushroom clouds arose over both nations, imagine thinking to yourself: “All this because of a socialist road.” According to an article in the London Daily Mail, the governments of ...
Have You Watched Our JFK Conference Presentations? by Jacob G. Hornberger July 8, 2021 Have you watched the presentations from our recent online conference “The National Security State and the Kennedy Assassination”? I carefully organized this conference as a prosecutor would in a criminal prosecution. Therefore, it’s helpful if you watch the presentations in the order they were delivered in the conference, as shown below. I have no doubt that anyone ...
Confederate Statue Dustup on Twitter by Jacob G. Hornberger July 7, 2021 Liberals (i.e, leftists, progressives, etc.) went on the rampage against me yesterday on Twitter. The reason? I posted a photo I took while hiking at Manassas National Battlefield Park. The photo was of a plaque commemorating Stonewall Jackson’s stand at the Battle of First Manassas, where Confederate troops sent Northern forces and Washington, D.C., socialites scurrying back to ...
Interventionism Gave Us Afghanistan and Iraq by Jacob G. Hornberger July 6, 2021 As the Pentagon and the CIA proceed apace with their withdrawal from their forever war in Afghanistan, the temptation would be to justify this forever war by pointing to the 9/11 attacks. For interventionists, including those who are now acknowledging that the forever wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were “mistakes,” history begins with the 9/11 attacks. Not so! ...
The Tyranny of the Covid-19 Eviction Moratorium by Jacob G. Hornberger July 2, 2021 The U.S. Supreme Court recently permitted the eviction moratorium established by the Centers for Disease Control to continue, at least until July 31, when the CDC plans to lift it. The Court wrongly decided the matter. It should have immediately lifted the moratorium. Historically, governments have held “inherent” police powers to protect the health of the citizenry. But ...
