War is making us poor?

Posted on January 13, 2025 by johnrachel

‘Poor’ is a relative term. The US constantly trumpets itself as the richest country in the world, the richest country in history!

Posted on February 10, 2023 by johnrachel

“Hegemons don’t have friends”, notes Margaret Kimberley. “They only have enemies and vassals.” That’s why the U.S. in its attempt to rule the world is becoming so disrespected and despised — and of course distrusted and feared.

“Daddy is a drunk!”

Posted on July 14, 2022 by John Rachel

I’ve spent at least ten years talking about “regime change in Washington DC”, trying to explain exactly what that entails, and why it’s necessary for the survival of our nation. Daddy is a drunk! It’s an allegory. Continue reading →

Posted on January 30, 2022 by johnrachel

Yes, we’re buried in mountains of bullsh*t, propaganda, fake this, fake that, deep fakes, false flags, manufactured crises. Lies are flaunted openly with brash impudence and total impunity, even celebrated. Being a great liar, if not openly lauded, seems to be quietly admired. That’s the world we live in. It is what it isn’t. It’s probably not what it appears to be. Truth is relative. Facts belong to the highest bidder. So … is there a solution to this mess? Anything we can do to reverse this descent into cognitive chaos? Continue reading →
