Useful Idiots Are Still Useful

Posted on April 21, 2021 by John Rachel

Political activists are always asking: how can we get people involved, how can we get them engaged, how can we get them to vote, be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem? That means everyone! Even the sheeple deserve to have a voice, right? POWER TO THE SHEEPLE, RIGHT ON! Continue reading →

CFAR Candidates: The Real Deal

Posted on September 9, 2017 by johnrachel

Yes, there’s hope in the midst of the mass of toxic sludge clogging our electoral machinery. Along comes the grass-roots voter-based initiative called CFAR, Contract For American Renewal. It takes the guesswork out of voting by exposing the phonies and frauds. The CFAR is a populist uprising targeting the November 2018 election, introducing honesty, integrity, transparency, and accountability back into the electoral process. Continue reading →

My Elevator Pitch for the CFAR Strategy

Does an “elevator pitch” actually have to take place in an elevator? I didn’t take any chances. Continue reading →

Whack A Mole Activism

Posted on May 29, 2017 by johnrachel

The ruling class have us constantly scrambling, in a frenzy, panicked and overwhelmed, confronted by one crisis after another. The reaction by our end of the political spectrum has been short-sighted and fragmented. Disoriented and exhausted by the sheer number of crises being created, we’re never able to mount a unified, comprehensive, coherent counterattack. We work hard but our energies are scattered. We end up with what I call Whack A Mole activism. How then do we stop playing this game? We unplug it, take it out back, then take a sledgehammer to it. We destroy the machine! There is no other choice. Continue reading →

Public Shaming

Posted on May 21, 2017 by johnrachel

If our current congressman can’t step up to the plate and play their very best game for the home team, they should be shamed, booed, reviled, scorned, humiliated, burned in effigy! Let them stew in the cauldron of the bad publicity they heap on themselves, then rot in a big foul steaming pile of their own wickedness, after we haul the garbage to the dump! They have no shame of their own, so we need to bring shame to bear down on them ourselves, exposing their deceptions and treachery. Then they will be confronted with a stark choice: they either start listening to the public they now arrogantly ignore or consign themselves to oblivion. Continue reading →

I didn’t throw my vote away!

Posted on October 13, 2016 by johnrachel

My absentee ballot arrived today. In less time than it takes for Bruce Willis to comb his hair, I made my choice. A vote is too precious to waste on criminals and narcissists. My ballot is on its way back to the United States of America. Continue reading →

Throwing My Vote Away?

Posted on July 15, 2016 by johnrachel

Voting for either of those privileged-class monsters, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, is the definition of throwing away a vote, of surrendering the right of choice, and rendering voting a meaningless exercise. Continue reading →

What part of “Listen to me!” didn’t you understand?

Posted on September 24, 2015 by johnrachel

It appears that there is one sane person running for president, and that person is to an impressive degree “listening” to the American public and willing to fight for a better life for all Americans, not just the privileged few. Unfortunately, Mr. Sanders doesn’t understand that the policies he currently embraces on defense and international relations will sabotage his noble intentions and the quality of life for everyday Americans will continue to decline, if we don’t end up in a nuclear war with Russia and/or China, in which case there won’t be any life on Earth at all. It’s up to us to straighten him out! Sanders has some solid ideas and a good heart. But on the military and American empire, unfortunately he’s dead wrong. If he wants our votes, we should put him on notice. He must rethink these critical items and clean up his act. Then and only then can we give him our 100% support. Continue reading →

Absentee Democracy

Posted on April 28, 2014 by johnrachel

Sometimes I am challenged by the dimmer bulbs among us: “What kind of American are you? YOU LIVE IN JAPAN!” The answer that comes immediately to mind is: “I’m the kind of American who lives in Japan.” Continue reading →

Throw the bums out!

Posted on February 21, 2014 by johnrachel

Either we rise up now in a bloodless coup at the polls or we rise up later in the streets. Revolution in the streets will not be bloodless and I suspect it won’t end well. It’s up to us to make the choice. Continue reading →
