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 →

A Nation of Relentless Savagery

Posted on January 29, 2017 by johnrachel

We kill efficiently. We kill without remorse. We kill without hesitation. In 2016, the final year in office for our Nobel Peace Prize president, the U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs on seven countries, none of which have attacked America, none of which we are officially at war with. History will judge the U.S. as Martin Luther King, Jr. did in his historic address: “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world …” When you file your return on April 15th, recall that this is where a nice chunk of your tax dollars went last year.

We can talk and talk, cite all sorts of statistics, construct marvelous narratives, collect anecdotes, offer incisive and powerful analysis. But sometimes a few charts says it far better than any amount of verbiage. These charts say all that needs to be said. Continue reading →

R2P = L2K

Time to turn the tables and call out the real enemies of America. We’ll start small and build. Samantha Power is currently the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Wherever this violent, disingenuous shrew appears publicly, and even where possible privately, everyone should be reminded she is a murderer and a war criminal. Continue reading →

More Bases More Bombs More War

Posted on January 24, 2016 by johnrachel

The building of new military bases must end. The unnecessary expansion of U.S. military presence throughout the world is bankrupting our economy, incriminating each and every American citizen in horrifying war crimes, risking World War III, and ultimately will collapse the nation and take down the great American experiment.

Oratory as a Weapon of Mass Deception

Posted on September 29, 2015 by johnrachel

You can pretty much tape a copy of Obama’s speech at the U.N. this week to the wall, throw darts at it, and end up 9 times out of 10 hitting a half-truth, outright lie, or manipulative mangling of reality. I won’t even try to cover everything which puts this in the all-time Top 10 for gross misuse of oratorical gifts and abuse of the powerful platform he is accorded as president. Just a few comments along the way, made when I was able to get my gag reflex under control . . . Continue reading →

Justin Bieber is the new Hitler!

Posted on July 15, 2015 by johnrachel

If someone in the State Department or the White House decides that Justin Bieber’s music truly sucks, or even if they just take a disliking to that froofy, pseudo-pompadour hair style he alternates with his Beetle boy look, you can be assured of the headline the next day, front page of the New York Times: Justin Bieber is the new Hitler!
