We need a massive lockdown . . . NOW!

Posted on January 24, 2021 by John Rachel

We are under violent attack by an invisible enemy — one which in fact is hiding in plain sight — and certainly does present an existential threat to the entire human race. In fact, this invisible threat is the one which spawned the coronavirus itself, the response to the coronavirus, the justifications for panic and fear of everything related to the coronavirus, is pushing a balls-to-the-wall vaccination campaign, and originally initiated and now enforces all of the lockdowns across the globe.

Life In Japan: Public Restrooms

Posted on April 8, 2020 by johnrachel

I consider peeing-on-demand a basic human right. Like breathing, going to the bathroom is not a lifestyle choice. Japan completely respects the inevitability and the all-too-often urgency of nature’s call. There are clean, safe public restrooms everywhere! Continue reading →

Posted on September 22, 2019 by johnrachel

Why should the U.S. wage war on Iran? There are so many answers to that question, it’s difficult to know where to begin. But here are a few right off the top of my head, based on our current foreign policy and the thinking mapped out by the truly remarkable collection of political leaders currently at the helm.

The Richest Sociopath in the World

Posted on August 27, 2019 by johnrachel

Jeff Bezos is referred to as ‘The Richest Man in the World’ and his personal fortune, while growing by $191,000 each minute, is currently estimated at around $150 billion. We need to correct that labeling. He should henceforth be called ‘The Richest Sociopath in the World.’ Continue reading →

Book Review: “The Plot to Overthrow Venezuela” by Dan Kovalik

Posted on August 5, 2019 by johnrachel

The thought-provoking Plot to Overthrow Venezuela by Dan Kovalik is extremely well-written, with a clarity, accessibility, and erudition which puts it in a class with the best works of Noam Chomsky. The Foreword by Oliver Stone is a worthy and deserving way to get this excellent work started started. It’s a must-read to fully understand the crisis in Venezuela as one component of the U.S. strategy of creating chaos and division across the globe. Continue reading →

Posted on September 9, 2017 by johnrachel

Yes, there’s hope in the midst of the mass of toxic sludge clogging our electoral machinery. Along comes the grass-roots voter-based initiative called CFAR, Contract For American Renewal. It takes the guesswork out of voting by exposing the phonies and frauds. The CFAR is a populist uprising targeting the November 2018 election, introducing honesty, integrity, transparency, and accountability back into the electoral process. Continue reading →

A Cure For Mad Trump Disease

Posted on August 28, 2017 by johnrachel

Mad Trump Disease has not just infected the Oval Office. It’s running rampant through the media and most of the political establishment. Insanity is the new normal. I don’t want to blow the ending of this article, so I’ll just say this: When the inmates have taken over the institution, it’s still the person with the keys who decides who locks the doors at night.

Candidate Contracts: Weaponizing Populist Electoral Campaigns

Posted on June 28, 2017 by johnrachel

A short time ago, I characterized the practical intent, the rubber-hits-the-road goal of the candidate contract strategy in these words: “The purpose of the candidate contract strategy is to get the good guys elected and throw the bad guys out of office.” That sums it up as succinctly as I know how. Of course, if it works, it will have far-reaching implications in terms of restoring representative democracy and establishing new higher standards for electoral integrity. But first things first. Let’s put it to work! Here’s how. Continue reading →
