Jack Jones articles

jack jonesJack Jones writes for Democracy Chronicles from Chicago’s south suburbs where he grew up. He is a union electrician Local 134, certified minister from Berean University, AYSO board member and coach, basketball coach, Cub Scout leader, husband, father and social participant. Jack considers himself a gourmet junk food chef, political writer, musician and likes to contribute to the world around him. A former deacon and chaplain at Cook County Jail in Chicago, he feels that our out-of-control corporate, religious and political environment is to blame for many of the problems in the world today. Jack believes we need to get money out of politics and that the church should take care of people instead of trying to get hypocrites elected to public office.

Iraq and Afghanistan War Crimes

Are we gonna continue to let our politicians threaten and kill whomever they want without any resistance whatsoever? Are we as citizens going to continue to volunteer to be underpaid mercenaries?

The Democrats Lost Their Way

It is time for Democrats get back to the basics. We all know what this means: war accountability, national healthcare, affordable quality education, banking regulation, the environment, and fair elections.

October 1, 2018 by Jack Jones Leave a Comment

Mad Dog Mattis Marcus Aurelius

Under Trump, Secretary of State James Mattis and National Security Advisor John Bolton are headed in the wrong direction. But things could get worse. The real change we need, beyond Mattis and Trump, is peace.

The U.S. is Now the World’s Top Oil Producer. Citizens Should Benefit

September 20, 2018 by Jack Jones Leave a Comment

Now the World's Top Oil Producer

Is Rahm Emanuel Going to Run for President?

September 17, 2018 by Jack Jones 3 Comments

Is Rahm Emanuel Going to Run for President?

In my estimation, since I live near Chicago, he’s been more favorable to the affluent that to the poor even though he’s thrown a few bones to the poor. For me, he’s still a corporate democrat and Bernie is still the man to run.

August 16, 2018 by Jack Jones 2 Comments

Republican Idea to the Poor

Democrats don’t have it easy. It’s so much easier to sell the conservative and Republican idea, the have it your way, the ‘all about you’ philosophy. It is just fun to join a quest of self indulgence and the destruction of compassion.

The Philosophy Behind the Wall Street Cabal of Greed

August 10, 2018 by Jack Jones 2 Comments

Wall Street Cabal of Greed

The problem with America is Wall Street-style heartless capitalism where the guys at the top love only money, worship greed, and don’t care how it affects you and I. That’s just the way it is. Profit without conscience is the credo.

Hey Americans: Are You Ready To Bomb Iran?

August 6, 2018 by Jack Jones Leave a Comment

Are You Ready To Bomb Iran?

Are you ready to go to war again? Trump has been talking about war with Iran the way George Bush talked about war with Iraq before and after his disastrous invasion.
