Give Peace A Chance

Posted on April 25, 2015 by johnrachel

America thinks it can bluster and bluff and use color revolutions to nudge Putin out of office and install some bloated puppet in his place like they did with Poroshenko in Ukraine. Russia is not Zimbabwe, Iraq, or Yemen. It’s not Grenada or Haiti. Russia is not going to be intimidated by a schoolyard bully. America’s aggression and infantile games can only end badly. Time for it to reverse course and cut its losses. Continue reading →

We’ll just have to agree to agree.

Agree to disagree? I have a better idea! How about if we agree to agree? Go from there. Continue reading →

Moonwalking

Posted on April 3, 2015 by johnrachel

Now that Michael Jackson is sadly no longer with us, his phenomenal mastery and performance of the moonwalk has been replaced by the U.S. economy. While it looks like it’s going forward, it’s actually going backwards. Continue reading →

Billionaire Club

Posted on March 28, 2015 by johnrachel

How much is a billion dollars? If you were to spend $10,000 a day, it would take 274 years to go through a billion dollars. There are more than 43 million Americans living below the poverty line. Wealth inequality as a vital issue seems to be being crowded out of the national conversation by the latest catastrophes du jour. Since it undermines the entire premise of our democracy, we must keep it in the forefront of public debate. Continue reading →

From the – to the +

Posted on March 27, 2015 by johnrachel

As citizens, we must decide how we are going to go about shaping our society and country, how our democracy will function, how the decisions get made, how much of the responsibility to ourselves and future generations we’re going to entrust and delegate to our leadership elite, the elected or de facto pillars of society, and what remains inviolably ours. To implement those decisions and new alignment of power, the sane and sensible majority must wrest the power from the misguided, greed and hubris-driven 1%, and put ‘We the people’ back in the political equation. My new book, “Candidate Contracts: A Manifesto (A New Front and Perhaps Last Stand at Establishing Representative Democracy in America)”, arriving in late May or early June, will point the way for American citizens to establish their rightful place in shaping the future of our nation for themselves and future generations.

Obama’s Neocons and Other Hawkish Lunatics

Posted on March 24, 2015 by johnrachel

Obama’s foreign policy is a box of chocolates, except you always know what you’re going to get __ more war, more bombing, more drone assassinations, more illegal regime change, more chaos and destruction. It’s the company he keeps. He is surrounded by bloodthirsty, arguably mad, imperialist warmongers, megalomaniacs who see themselves as saviors of the Universe, chosen by destiny and blessed with infallibility. Were any of them to undergo sound and objective psychological testing, they would immediately be committed to maximum-security institutions for the criminally insane. Continue reading →

Isn’t it about time to stop this ugly business?

Posted on March 23, 2015 by johnrachel

The U.S. has become the most prolific sponsor of coups in history but I see that soon coming to an end with one last epic regime change. This one will be the ouster of the imperial lunatics in the current administration, an epic game-changer that will be the mother of all coups and will put the rest of the world at ease, at least for the foreseeable future.

What is more evil than pure evil?

Posted on February 24, 2015 by johnrachel

Hitler was given a pass by the German people on his less than savory activities, the collateral damage, all the unpleasant but necessary slaughter required to achieve the greater glory of Germany. Is this the example we should be following when our own leaders implement genocidal wars, support homicidal regimes, torture and kill ‘enemies’, often innocent people who never have the opportunity to defend themselves?

Along Came Joe

Posted on February 9, 2015 by johnrachel

Some criticize Vice-President Biden for his gaffs. His gaffs are trivial compared to the actual stands he has taken over the years on a wide variety of issues. Continue reading →
