“Buddy, can you spare some change?”

Posted on June 30, 2015 by johnrachel

The vast majority of the American public has no one to turn to but themselves. The liberal elite are mired in unworkable paradigms, debilitated by a lack of imagination, dragged down by the inertia or careerism and an inability to commit to the dirty work of activism. The conservative elite have nurtured their sociopathic obsessions with wealth accumulation for its own sake, live behind insurmountable walls consigning the unwashed masses to a permanent quarantine, are more convinced than ever of their entitlement and exclusive right to rule the world.

My book is not more whining. It offers a step-by-step, highly detailed plan for challenging the corruption of our current politicos, and for reversing the destruction of representative democracy in America.

Change does not just happen. People need to believe it’s possible.

Then they need to make room in their hearts and time in their day to make it happen. Continue reading →

Freedom of the Press

Posted on April 30, 2015 by johnrachel

There is indeed freedom of the press in America. But it’s not quite what I understood it to be. Now it’s the freedom to keep Americans in the dark. It’s the freedom cherry-pick from the vast array of newsworthy items and only publish those consistent with the preferred narrative of our government. It’s the freedom to suppress anything which our government would find inconvenient or untimely towards pressing its manufactured version world events. Continue reading →

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 →

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 →
