We know how this will end . . .

Posted on September 26, 2013 by johnrachel

It’s up to us to demand a true and honest commitment to peace, not the simpleminded, hollow, meaningless blather that we’re being fed as the trigger-fingers of our war mongers tingle and twitch, just waiting for the right moment to churn up more carnage, destruction and hatred in the rest of the world. We can start right now by demanding the administration start working with Russia to calm the situation in the Ukraine. Continue reading →

War Is A Lie

Posted on September 4, 2013 by johnrachel

If we continue to accept the lies we are constantly given by the government and the media, we end up at war with one another, war with ourselves, war with everyone else in the world, and at war with the truth. Continue reading →

The ‘P’ Word

Dead kids sure are a bummer but….

Posted on March 28, 2013 by johnrachel

None of the discussions about guns and gun control are remotely coherent or rational. We can nitpick over the details of gun regulation but frankly the whole discussion is so far out off the edge, it’s like a conversation in an insane asylum between Napoleon and Jesus about what they should do with Elvis over there in the corner to keep him from singing “All Shook Up” during arts and crafts. Yes, it’s that bad. It’s pure insanity. Continue reading →

Posted on November 30, 2012 by johnrachel

TPP is being promoted by a public relations campaign using our public officials as spokespersons for the transnational corporate elite who are promoting this onerous, ill-conceived weapon of economic destruction.

Don’t be fooled by this self-serving and bogus propaganda. Continue reading →
