Posted on April 14, 2022 by John Rachel

To make peace activism effective, there is a fundamental reality we must accept. Those in power now do not care about what we think, say, or want. The first step for progress is removing them from power. Continue reading →

January 6 Gave Revolution A Bad Name

Posted on March 22, 2022 by John Rachel

The sad thing about January 6 — and everybody knows what I’m referring to because the Alice in Wonderland narratives around are still being milked by pundits and politicians alike — is that it had both sides working to make sure it flopped, that instead of representing an actual challenge to power or a wake-up call to the public or a warning label for the buffoons and criminals now holding office, it was a huge embarrassment, an unfunny joke, a reminder that politics is Pro Wrestling, only without sexy ring girls.

A Few Things Left Out of the Russia-Bashing Narrative

Posted on February 26, 2022 by John Rachel

I abhor violence. I abhor war. But Putin and Lavrov respectfully requested that US/NATO imperial powers grant Russia some basic courtesy and understanding. US/NATO refused. Russia did and is doing what she had to do to protect itself from further intimidation and inevitable military assault. Continue reading →

It Is What It Isn’t

Posted on January 30, 2022 by johnrachel

Yes, we’re buried in mountains of bullsh*t, propaganda, fake this, fake that, deep fakes, false flags, manufactured crises. Lies are flaunted openly with brash impudence and total impunity, even celebrated. Being a great liar, if not openly lauded, seems to be quietly admired. That’s the world we live in. It is what it isn’t. It’s probably not what it appears to be. Truth is relative. Facts belong to the highest bidder. So … is there a solution to this mess? Anything we can do to reverse this descent into cognitive chaos? Continue reading →

Whose Money Is It?

Posted on January 28, 2022 by johnrachel

In a democratic country — government of the people, by the people, for the people — who “owns” the government’s money? Either money is privately owned (people, companies, corporations, investment banks, etc) or it’s publicly owned. If through taxes, bonds, borrowing, printing, digital creation, money is deposited in the U.S. Treasury for later disbursement, whose money is it? Who actually OWNS that money before it’s sent on its way to pay the bills? Continue reading →

Killer Bees!

Posted on June 18, 2021 by John Rachel

Have you heard the latest buzz? We’re all going to die from swarms of killer bees! Would I make up something like that? Actually making up horror stories and scaring the bejesus out of everyone seems to be the thing to do these days. Especially if you want to steal their money and their freedom. Continue reading →

Black Lives Matter? Who Says?

Posted on June 16, 2021 by John Rachel

I’ve been asking myself a question. I’ve been asking it very quietly, because if I ask it out loud, I’ll be mobbed for being a racist pig. Here’s the question: Why is it racist to state this straightforward moral proposition? … All lives matter. Continue reading →
