The Cold War Racket Is Back
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has issued a direct critique against the U.S. government’s policy of containment when it comes to China. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the critique is unusual in that it comes directly from China’s leader rather than indirectly through governmental spokespersons. The Journal article quotes Shirley Martey Hargis, fellow at the Washington think tank… → Read More

Economic Liberty: A Right or a Privilege? – The Future of Freedom Foundation
Ever since China began liberalizing its economy, it has become fashionable in some circles to suggest that China went “capitalist.” This was especially true as economic prosperity in the country began rising. Not only were Chinese businessmen becoming millionaires and even billionaires, the standard of living of the Chinese people generally was soaring. The Chinese experience confirms what… → Read More
An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story – The Future of Freedom Foundation
Almost a year ago, The Future of Freedom Foundation published my book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, which I consider to be the best work I have done in the 33-year history of FFF. For decades, the official story had been that the famous Zapruder film, which captured the assassination of President Kennedy, had been delivered to LIFE magazine in Chicago on November 23, 1963,… → Read More
Immigration Controls Come with Death – The Future of Freedom Foundation
Not surprisingly, immigration-control advocates are coming fiercely to the defense of George Allan Kelly, the 74-year-old Arizona man who is charged with murdering a Mexican citizen who illegally crossed the border into the United States and trespassed on Kelly’s ranch. Kelly and his wife live in a home on the ranch. I wrote about the Kelly case last month in two articles: “Warning: There Is No… → Read More
JFK’s Remarkable Peace Speech that Sealed His Fate – The Future of Freedom Foundation
The deep animosity against Russia and China that the U.S. national-security establishment has inculcated in the American people brings to mind the remarkable speech that President Kennedy delivered on June 10, 1963, at American University that sealed his fate. Just imagine what would happen to any American who today dares to say good things about Russia and China. The Russia haters and the China… → Read More
The Pentagon’s Balloon Madness Recalls Major Rudolf Anderson – The Future of Freedom Foundation
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon recently spent at least $1.5 million to down high-altitude objects, including the infamous Chinese balloon that supposedly was spying on the United States. Oh well, what’s another $1.5 million added onto a national debt of almost $31.6 trillion dollars? The entire panicked brouhaha over the Chinese balloon caused me to think about Major Rudolf… → Read More
Nicaragua and America’s Golden Goose – The Future of Freedom Foundation
After socialist Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega released several political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States, he proceeded to confiscate their homes and convert them into government-owned assets. His action demonstrates how socialism works here in the United States. What Ortega is doing is taking private property from those who have it and converting to the benefit of… → Read More
Brzezinski’s Confession – The Future of Freedom Foundation
While American interventionists remain stone-cold silent about the way that the Pentagon, operating through its old Cold War dinosaur NATO, knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, it’s instructive to remind ourselves that this wasn’t the first time that the Pentagon provoked Russia into invading another country. Let’s go back to 1979, when the Pentagon… → Read More
Cuba and Vietnam: What’s the Difference? – The Future of Freedom Foundation
During a visit to Mexico by Cuba’s president Miguel Díaz-Canel, Mexican President Manuel Amador López Obrador (AMLO), announced that he was willing to lead an international effort to pressure the U.S. government into lifting its six-decade-old economic embargo against the Cuban people. AMLO stated, “As a sign of goodwill and that all the countries of the Americas are willing to join forces, I… → Read More
What If Americans Were Fighting on Russia’s Side? – The Future of Freedom Foundation
The New York Times recently carried an interesting article entitled, “They Are Russians Fighting Against Their Homeland. Here’s Why.” The article describes a group of Russian citizens who are fighting on the side of Ukraine against Russian soldiers. They concluded that Russia was in the wrong to invade Ukraine and, therefore, decided to fight on the side they believed was in the right. They also… → Read More
Thank You, Americans, for Our Tax-Funded Largess – The Future of Freedom Foundation
I want to thank all of you taxpayers out there for providing me with the benefits of gigantic amounts of welfare-warfare-state largess that is being heaped on those of us living here in Virginia. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the states surrounding Washington, D.C., had the nation’s biggest decline in unemployment benefits. In Virginia, “total new applications for unemployment… → Read More
Why Did Biden Let In Those Nicaraguan Refugees? – The Future of Freedom Foundation
The Biden administration and its acolytes in the U.S. mainstream press are celebrating the fact that Nicaraguan socialist dictator Daniel Ortega just released 222 political prisoners and sent them packing to the United States. In the process, however, they are only demonstrating the arbitrary, capricious, and hypocritical nature of America’s socialist system of immigration controls. Ortega’s… → Read More
Ike Was Right about the Deep State
This morning, a missile that Russia fired at Ukraine flew over Moldova and came within 22 miles of Romania, which is a member of NATO. If the missile had hit Romania, there would have been immediate demands under NATO’s Article 5, especially within the Ukrainian leadership, for NATO to respond immediately by attacking Russia. It’s also worth noting that NATO wants to make Moldova a member of… → Read More

Another Warning to Immigration-Control Advocates – The Future of Freedom Foundation
In my blog post yesterday, I pointed out how many immigration-control advocates have been inculcated with the belief that illegal immigrants are invading the United States. Given such, some immigration-control advocates are tempted to begin killing them, much like Americans would do if some foreign military force was actually invading the United States. But the fact is that these… → Read More
DeSantis Is Doubling Down on Immigrant Abuse – The Future of Freedom Foundation
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doubling down on the abuse he inflicted severe months ago on dozens of Venezuelan immigrants. He is asking the Florida legislature to give him another $12 million to “relocate” undocumented immigrants, which will enable him to do more of what he did to those Venezuelan immigrants to new groups of undocumented immigrants. An agent for DeSantis approached the… → Read More
What Does 'Unprovoked' Mean?
Note the following sentence in a New York Times news story yesterday by Michael Schwirtz and Anton Troianovski about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: “Mr. Putin’s attempt to put a veneer of nobility on an unprovoked invasion that has killed thousands of civilians and turned millions more into refugees was made in the Russian city once known as Stalingrad, on the 80th anniversary of a victory there… → Read More
The Attack of the Killer Balloon – The Future of Freedom Foundation
I confess that I did not leave my house last week. I wasn’t about to take a chance that that Chinese Giant Balloon would attack me or, at the very least, monitor my trips to the grocery store. Why take that chance when I could remain safe within the confines of my home? Even Pentagon assurances that China’s Giant Balloon posed no military threat did not provide any comfort to me. After all, the… → Read More
