Why Kennedy Had to Be Removed

by
The current, ongoing brouhaha over Russia helps to show explain why the U.S. national-security establishment removed President John F. Kennedy from office in the regime-change operation that took place on November 22, 1963. Yes, I know the official version that we are all expected to adhere to: that it is just inconceivable that the U.S. national-security establishment would initiate one of its storied regime-change operations within the United States. It just had to be a lone-nut operation because national-security regime-change operations are supposed to be carried out only against foreign leaders, not domestic ones. Of course, there has always been at least one big problem with the lone-nut theory: Motive. Oswald had no reason to kill Kennedy. In fact, it’s the exact opposite — Oswald, if he really was a communist rather than a U.S. intelligence agent posing as a communist, had every motive for wanting Kennedy to remain president. Why is that? The answer is the same reason that the Pentagon and ...

Quinn Slobodian and the Academic Attack on Mises and Hayek

We are living in a world of the anti-liberal counter-attack against individual liberty, free markets and limited government. Prominent voices for the free society in the 20th century, like the Austrian economists, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich A. Hayek, are among the targets that opponents of free market liberalism are taking aim. In doing so, the anti-liberals distort the facts and twist the historical record. It is necessary to clarify those facts and set the record straight. For most of the last quarter of a century, many took it for granted that the case for socialism had been defeated.  With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the shift in several remaining communist countries – China in particular – to market-oriented policies, it was presumed that “socialism” as an economic system was dead. Who seriously wanted to retain or restore comprehensive socialist central planning as an alternative to a relatively free ...

Should We?

Every president since George Washington has delivered an inaugural address. Beginning with William McKinley, the address has taken place after the swearing in of the new president instead of before. There have been some notable inaugural addresses. William Henry Harrison’s inaugural address in 1841 was almost two hours long. He delivered the address in freezing weather without a hat or a coat, contracted pneumonia, and died thirty days later. It was at his first inaugural address in 1933 that Franklin Roosevelt uttered one of his most memorable phrases: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” In his first inaugural address in 1981, Ronald Reagan famously said, “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” It was at his inauguration in 2017 that Donald Trump stated, “From this moment on, it’s going to be America First. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and ...
