The Kennedy Autopsy Selected for Amazon’s Prime Reading Program

by
Last month, Amazon sent us an email asking if we would consider permitting FFF’s book The Kennedy Autopsy, which I authored, to be considered for Amazon’s Prime Reading program. According to the email, “Prime Reading promotes authors and their books to Amazon’s most engaged customers. We have a limited number of spots available in the program and we're delighted to offer you the opportunity to increase visibility for your title(s).” Of course, we agreed, and we were recently advised that Amazon had decided to include The Kennedy Autopsy in its Prime Reading program from September 1 through December 1. In return for a fee of $500, FFF agreed to waive any sales revenue during that period of time. The Kennedy Autopsy has been FFF’s all-time best seller. The book details the fraudulent autopsy that the U.S. national-security establishment carried out on the body of President John F. Kennedy on the very evening of the assassination. I ...

Ronn Neff RIP

by
After several months in the hospital battling complications from COVID-19, The Future of Freedom Foundation’s longtime copy editor and friend Ronn Neff passed away last evening. Ronn was 72. The news came in the form of an email from Ronn’s longtime good friend Tom McPherren. Ronn has been FFFs copy editor for more than 25 years. But he was more than just an editor. He  was one of the most committed, passionate, knowledgeable, and principled libertarians you’d ever meet.  That meant that he fully understood FFF’s mission from the day he started editing for us: to present a principled, uncompromising case for the libertarian philosophy.  Thus, Ronn would always read our articles not only with grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes in mind but also with making certain that we did not inadvertently publish compromises of libertarian philosophy. He was invaluable to us.  Ronn was not only well-versed ...

The Police State’s Reign of Terror Continues

Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. — George Carlin You think you’ve got rights? Think again. All of those freedoms we cherish—the ones enshrined in the Constitution, the ones that affirm our right to free speech and assembly, due process, privacy, bodily integrity, the right to not have police seize our property without a warrant, or search and detain us without probable cause—amount to nothing when the government and its agents are allowed to disregard those prohibitions on government overreach at will. This is the grim reality of life in the American police state. In fact, in the face of the government’s ongoing power grabs, our so-called rights have been reduced to mere technicalities, privileges that can be granted and taken away, all with the general blessing of the courts. This is what one would call a slow death by a thousand cuts, only it’s the Constitution being inexorably bled to death by the very institution (the judicial branch ...

The Real Lessons of the Afghanistan Disaster

by
I will never forget a formal dinner I attended shortly after the 9/11 attacks. It was sponsored by a conservative-oriented libertarian foundation. There were hundreds of people in attendance, mostly conservatives and conservative-oriented libertarians. There was no doubt about where most everyone at that dinner stood: They were fully in support of President Bush’s plan to launch the “global ...
