“P. S. I Love You!”

Posted on June 29, 2016 by johnrachel

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

Posted on June 13, 2016 by johnrachel

Anyone out there who is running for the Senate or the House, anyone out there who knows someone who is running for the Senate or the House, or anyone out there who knows what the Senate and the House of Representatives do . . . please look at my new activist website: http://no-contract-no-vote.us 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 III

Posted on March 25, 2016 by johnrachel

Maybe people won’t talk politics. But once the floodgate is open, people will talk about what’s hurting them, what’s holding them back, how they are getting screwed by the system and those who run things, how they had wonderful dreams and hopes for their children which are being destroyed. So talk to them. And listen. Please! The future of our country depends on it. Continue reading →

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part I

Posted on March 9, 2016 by johnrachel

A president is a lightning rod. But a president is not the lightning. We the people are the lightning. We the people are the energy, the force, the real movers-and-shakers behind fundamental change. We the people and only we the people can shape the future we want. 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 →

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.

Politics is a Rock Concert, Not a Seminar.

Posted on January 22, 2016 by johnrachel

All we have now is war, morning, noon and night . . . 24/7/365. We need a new “anthem” that rocks this nation back to its senses. War and fear and militarization and national bankruptcy are over . . . if you want it. Continue reading →

Getting Rid of That Bulge in the Middle

Posted on December 24, 2015 by johnrachel

A nation which has a sizable majority as middle-class, and is not plagued by extremes of wealth and poverty, is historically a nation which thrives, one which has a solid economy and laudable living standards. Unfortunately, the U.S. is accelerating in the wrong direction on both counts. Continue reading →

Let’s just shake hands and smile for the camera!

Posted on November 19, 2015 by johnrachel

John Kerry will represent the U.S. at the upcoming UN climate conference next month in Paris. But he can’t be bothered with legalities. He’s there to have a nice chat, smile and wave for the cameras, and tell the world America is really concerned about climate change. He really cares and so does Obama … cross their hearts and hope to die. Continue reading →
