My Experience inside the US Political System

As you know, I’ve launched weekly podcasts on my new substack page. Go over there and check it out. I appreciate all subscriptions.

That’s what substack is about—readers supporting individual writers. It’s the fastest growing platform of its kind in the world. And so far, zero censorship.

I’ve intentionally tested them with my first outpouring of articles on controversial subjects—and not a peep from them.

I’ve been doing substack for only a month, and already they’re listing me in the top hundred on the subject of Culture.

The new podcast is Culture in spades.

I tell the story of testifying before 2 Nevada State legislative Committees 20 years ago, during a spate of school shootings across America.

It was a surreal day, starting with the fact that I had no idea how or why I was invited to testify. I had nothing friendly to say to the Committees.

My background and research had to do with the dangers of the psychiatric drugs, particularly the antidepressants, which cause some people to spill over into violence—including murder.

That wasn’t on the list of ideas the Committees were looking for.

As the day wore on, I got a very strong dose of rejection from one Committee member—which was a joke to me, because I eat those sorts of political critiques for breakfast.

Most of all, I gained an extremely vivid and up-close impression of what these political animals were all about. And that’s the story I focus on in the podcast.

Who are these people? What is it like to be sitting and standing next to them and overhearing them talk, when the cameras aren’t there?

This is why I made the trip to Nevada—to find out. And I did.

I wanted to get in BEHIND the official nonsense, behind the political ideology, behind the appearance, to the reality on the ground. The reality that makes you want to take a shower as soon as you’re done.

It’s important to see and hear and feel these creatures in their native habitat.

At the time, I thought I should have a notebook with me, so I could jot down impressions and observations on the spot—but as soon as I stepped into the conference room where I’d address the first Committee, I knew that wouldn’t be necessary.

The whole scene unrolled like a magic carpet…minus the magic. I said to myself, “I’m never going to forget this.” And I haven’t.

Culture—such as it is today—is the main reason I started writing at substack. I wanted an outlet for everything I see moving around us that is transforming the past, present, and future.

My approach to it—full frontal attack, satire, surrealism, fiction—is all hands on deck. No holds barred.

There is no other way, as far as I’m concerned. We’re all in a circus, where the ringmasters are crazy and most of the audience is still asleep or drugged.

I just turned 84 last Saturday, and I’m still discovering new resources as a writer.

Thank you for your support. I hope more of you will go to my substack page and kick in a few bucks for a subscription.

LANGUAGE and STORY aren’t dead yet. I’m shooting them out there and expanding them with no limit.

A long time ago, I learned that when somebody says SURRENDER, you say NO DICE and you keep pushing, no matter what.

That’s what I’m doing.

And what it means for you, the individual, now

And for the next 10,000 years of Earth Culture

My new podcast, THE GREAT TRADITION OF IMAGINATION, is now up at my substack page. You can go there and listen to it.

This podcast is 30 years in the making. It’s filled with personal stories that illustrate the Great Tradition; as well as my research on the subject that actually began in 1961, in New York.

At that time, I was working with an extraordinary healer, Richard Jenkins, whom I write about in my book, The Secret behind Secret Societies. Richard was a key figure in pointing me to breakthroughs about imagination and what they meant.

For the past few thousand years, Earth Culture has done everything in its power to downplay and bury and distort the power of imagination.

This is more than an elite operation. It’s an effort of the rational mind to take charge of ALL aspects of life, under the assumption that there is no other way for humans to survive.

To say this is a “mistake” is like saying failing to eat food or breathe air is a mere mistake. The vast overreach of the rational mind has imposed incredible limits on the individual human being.

The truth is, the individual certainly does need the rational logical mind; it is essential; BUT it is not everything. Left to its own devices, without a “partner,” it eventually becomes destructive—because it comes to resemble a Machine.

And humans have an astounding ability not to notice they are beginning to think and act like machines, in patterned and repetitive ways.

But when humans finally open the door wide to their own imaginations, the whole basis of living shifts.

Given its unlimited space, imagination is another kind of breathing. We don’t stop and question our intake and exhale of air. And when we begin to navigate life through and by imagination, we don’t question that, either. It’s a FACT, as natural as any physiological process.

Except when imagination is in full play, the LEVEL of living and experiencing and pursuing our desires rises.

Unlike other cultural traditions recorded in the history books and taught in schools, the Tradition of Imagination has never been recorded or taught.

And it doesn’t exist in groups. It exists in individuals, in every area and country, down through time.

The Tradition of Imagination isn’t borrowed or stolen or bought. It is alive, potentially, in every individual. It’s never too late to wake it up.

Over the years, I’ve often written, “Every individual is an artist of Reality.” In my new podcast, I have a lot to say about what that means, and the extraordinary “distances” it can travel.

Everything I’ve written over the past 30 years has had three motives.

One: Expose and attack the crimes of the cartels and their elites who are trying to run this world.

Two: Expose the absurd and destructive Culture that is spreading across the world.

And three: Clear away, and put to the side, all this insanity and show what a real Culture would look like, when that Culture IS THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE POWER OF HIS IMAGINATION IN ACTION.

I always come back to the individual and I always will.

I hope you’ll go to substack and listen to my new podcast.

Dear Reader,

Basically, I’m making a lot of moves right now. As I mentioned last week, my new substack blog has launched. Go have a look. It takes no prisoners.

Soon, I’ll be posting audios there, as well as articles.

About a year ago, it occurred to me that I was keeping the lid on a lot of issues that were making my blood boil. I was putting them aside because of the COVID insanity.

I’ve written over 450 articles on that boggling scam and the death march it’s enabled.

And then it occurred to me that, despite the fact I’ve posted articles here at NoMoreFakeNews almost every day for 21 years—that’s right—I’ve ignored subjects that interested and excited and motivated and outraged me.

So why not go all out?

As a friend once told me (dozens of times): A WRITER WRITES.

So that’s what I’m doing now—on three blogs all at once. NoMoreFakeNews, OutsideTheRealityMachine, and Jon Rappoport on substack.

But even that isn’t enough. There is flesh and blood experience that fits very well with audio. Spoken narrative.

Things I think of in the middle of the night that spin themselves out into stories. Which need a storyteller.

For example: my research on HIV in the 1980s and 90s. There were so many characters and situations and intrigues. I published my book, AIDS INC. in 1988, but I could have written another book about my experiences while writing AIDS INC. The journalists and scientists and politicians of all different types I met and spoke with. The good, the bad, the ugly. How I stumbled into my method of research—which has paid off to this day.

There are a dozen other books I could write (but storytelling is better) about MANY medical-political scandals I’ve uncovered over the past 30 years. I’ve already published the details of the scandals. I’m talking about the people, the heroes, the crazies, the criminals I met along the way.

Because that’s part of work and LIFE. It opens up new dimensions. It rarely gets to breathe out in the open. But it should.

I’ve written a great deal about art and imagination. But inside that are the many artists I’ve known. Who they were, what they were doing, and why.

And then there is the boundless future ahead. I’ve written about that, too. But there is more to say—including experiences I’ve had that gave me clues and insights and presumptions and a view of time that opened closed doors.

I have interests that many people don’t share. For instance, sports and television. They’re both absurd farces. But they’re also something else. In my life, I’ve known far more athletes than artists. I was once an athlete myself. I know what makes these people tick. I admire athletes I’ve known. They were ALIVE.

All in all, ALIVE is good. Knowing it, sensing it along whatever roads it travels makes us better. It keeps us from closing down, from narrowing our focus to the point where we think we know all there is to know.

I’ve been rebelling and at war since I was 17. I’m 83 now. Rebellion has served me well. Bypassing and refusing possibilities of lucrative careers have served me well. Rebellion has enabled me to CREATE on my own terms.

Which, quite possibly, was my objective all along.

So that’s what I continue to do.

I like beginnings.

This is one.

As always, many thanks for your continuing support and interest.

–Jon

Update: You’ll see my first podcast pop up on my substack page tomorrow. It’s my personal story behind the story, about a few of the key figures in the HIV wars of the 1980s and 90s—especially Peter Duesberg, the biologist who took on the entire medical research colossus single-handedly. I knew Peter. He reminded me of one of my childhood heroes, Jack London’s Martin Eden.

The podcast is also about sharp turns in life—key moments when I found gold in unexpected places…from unexpected people…outsiders I never knew existed.
