Wrong But Right

Posted on November 13, 2016 by johnrachel

I thought the election would be rigged for Hillary. I was wrong about that. Instead it was rigged for Trump. The proof is in the exit poll data. As if we didn’t already know, our votes don’t mean anything. The ruling class will rule. We will bow to their self-serving, flawed and destructive judgment. Or . . . maybe it’s time to do something about this travesty we affectionately and delusionally call democracy. Continue reading →

The fix is in … Hillary will win … vote for Jill Stein!

Posted on November 6, 2016 by johnrachel

Hillary Clinton is the choice of the masters to run the country and start World War III. The election is irrelevant. Vote for Jill Stein. You have nothing to lose. It’ll feel good. Continue reading →

It’s Not Hillary’s Physical Health That’s The Issue . . . It’s Her Mental Health!

Posted on October 18, 2016 by johnrachel

Despite a lot of speculation about Hillary Clinton’s physical health, based on her own bizarre behavior and evident fragility, to my mind the real issue is not her physical health but her mental health. There is an overwhelming amount of solid evidence that she is a sociopath of the first order, which translates to: Given the magnitude of the office of President, Hillary Clinton is an existential threat to the human race and should not be in any position of power, much less the presidency.

A Look At Some Other Numbers

Posted on September 20, 2016 by johnrachel

The evidence is in. The “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” Campaign is a failure. The good news is that it’s almost too easy to explain why. Unfortunately, that explanation spells catastrophe for this country and unparalleled tragedy for its citizens. Continue reading →

A Look At The Numbers

Posted on July 26, 2016 by johnrachel

Here’s how 50,000,000 people taking the “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” pledge all but guarantees Jill Stein the presidency. Moreover, this could actually happen! Despite the demonizing of the third-party option, there are a surprisingly large number of voters out there who are already receptive. They need first to become familiar with the brilliant agenda proposed by the Green New Deal, then reassured that taking the pledge is a no risk proposition. Continue reading →

“P. S. I Love You!”

For a tiny, some would argue sociopathic minority, ‘more’ is never a question. It’s an answer! The only answer. Continue reading →

TPP . . . just extrapolate and you’ll get it.

Posted on May 6, 2016 by johnrachel

The TPP trade agreement runs over 5,000 pages. There is so much to criticize about this diabolical gift to corporations, we could go on for months detailing its egregious agenda and ruthless grab for power. Much of the analysis and resulting critique is very technical. Most people can be forgiven for having their eyes glaze over and their attention wander. I offer this simple anecdotal report to make this complex issue real and accessible.

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part VII

Posted on April 21, 2016 by johnrachel

Getting the truth out to the voting public on exactly where the candidates stand requires audacity, creativity, courage, some outside-the-box thinking. But it can be done. It should be done. It must be done! Voters don’t need to see protest signs. They need to see honest and clear choices at the polls. Candidate contracts leave no room for error or misinterpretation. They preclude elected representatives from going back on their commitments to their constituents when they enter the money chamber of the Washington DC bubble. Continue reading →

Choose A Symptom, Ignore The Disease

Posted on February 1, 2016 by johnrachel

America is very, very sick. The disease which is destroying our nation feeds on: 1) Unchecked imperial ambitions. 2) Exceptionalist hubris and arrogance. 3) The crushing power of corporations. 4) The militarization of everything. 5) Plutocratic tyranny and greed. None of the presidential candidates will talk about the disease. Because none of them has a cure. Continue reading →
