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.

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.

A Cure For Mad Trump Disease

Posted on August 28, 2017 by johnrachel

Mad Trump Disease has not just infected the Oval Office. It’s running rampant through the media and most of the political establishment. Insanity is the new normal. I don’t want to blow the ending of this article, so I’ll just say this: When the inmates have taken over the institution, it’s still the person with the keys who decides who locks the doors at night.

Candidate Contracts: Weaponizing Populist Electoral Campaigns

Posted on June 28, 2017 by johnrachel

A short time ago, I characterized the practical intent, the rubber-hits-the-road goal of the candidate contract strategy in these words: “The purpose of the candidate contract strategy is to get the good guys elected and throw the bad guys out of office.” That sums it up as succinctly as I know how. Of course, if it works, it will have far-reaching implications in terms of restoring representative democracy and establishing new higher standards for electoral integrity. But first things first. Let’s put it to work! Here’s how. Continue reading →
