Another 5-Star Review: Blinders Keepers

Posted on October 30, 2022 by johnrachel

Just got another 5-star review for “Blinders Keepers”, posted all over the book-o-sphere. Specific incidents aside, as whacky and outrageously funny as it apparently is, I think it’s astonishing how well it captures the absurdity and circus-like environment of our current politics.

People Power – Part 2: Focus and Unite

January 6 Gave Revolution A Bad Name

Posted on March 22, 2022 by John Rachel

The sad thing about January 6 — and everybody knows what I’m referring to because the Alice in Wonderland narratives around are still being milked by pundits and politicians alike — is that it had both sides working to make sure it flopped, that instead of representing an actual challenge to power or a wake-up call to the public or a warning label for the buffoons and criminals now holding office, it was a huge embarrassment, an unfunny joke, a reminder that politics is Pro Wrestling, only without sexy ring girls.

Whose Money Is It?

Posted on January 28, 2022 by johnrachel

In a democratic country — government of the people, by the people, for the people — who “owns” the government’s money? Either money is privately owned (people, companies, corporations, investment banks, etc) or it’s publicly owned. If through taxes, bonds, borrowing, printing, digital creation, money is deposited in the U.S. Treasury for later disbursement, whose money is it? Who actually OWNS that money before it’s sent on its way to pay the bills? Continue reading →

We need a massive lockdown . . . NOW!

Posted on January 24, 2021 by John Rachel

We are under violent attack by an invisible enemy — one which in fact is hiding in plain sight — and certainly does present an existential threat to the entire human race. In fact, this invisible threat is the one which spawned the coronavirus itself, the response to the coronavirus, the justifications for panic and fear of everything related to the coronavirus, is pushing a balls-to-the-wall vaccination campaign, and originally initiated and now enforces all of the lockdowns across the globe.

The Richest Sociopath in the World

Posted on August 27, 2019 by johnrachel

Jeff Bezos is referred to as ‘The Richest Man in the World’ and his personal fortune, while growing by $191,000 each minute, is currently estimated at around $150 billion. We need to correct that labeling. He should henceforth be called ‘The Richest Sociopath in the World.’ Continue reading →
