  • The John Henry Show – S1E014 – By Any Means Necessary?

    “By Any Means Necessary” was the slogan of the Black Panthers in the late 60’s, when black activists became frustrated by the perceived ineffectiveness of non-violent resistance and decided it was time to take a stronger stand.  Now a larger population faces the same decision related to the Democratic Party.

  • The John Henry Show – S1E003 – Agitpropapalooza

    In today’s show JH looks at the really sad behavior of so many people who can’t get past their own egos to do the right thing, wonders why they’d rather appear ignorant than capable of admitting they’re wrong, deconstructs some popular current attempts at manipulating We The Unwashed Masses, and much more.  I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore.  Join in for this can’t-miss episode of The John Henry Show!

  • The John Henry Show – S1E007 – Free-For-All Friday #1

    The Friday evening show is going to be the weekly open-topic “free for all.”  This week it was so free I didn’t bother doing it until Saturday!  That won’t be the case every time 🙂 We’re discussing a range of things today including propaganda, socialism, an interesting look inside the administration of a large Facebook page and how you can see them choking traffic over time if you refuse to buy advertising (it’s not about the political cant, it’s about the MONEY), integrity in matters of both public and private life, and JH’s sense of where we’re at as an evolving species and where he thinks we may be headed if all goes well.

    As always if you’d rather watch than listen you can check out the stream archive on YouTube at https://youtu.be/_ECTZQHlBvk

    A note about this particular show – there’s about twenty minutes cut out in which I’m discussing various aspects of the video production side of things, and an experiment intended to demonstrate some issues failed 🙁  Since there’s no point in an audio track of visual effects, I trimmed it out.

  • The John Henry Show – S1E006 – Democratic Debate Post-Mortem

    In today’s show I’m examining last night’s Democratic Party debate in Las Vegas, talking who won, who lost, and why.  Do people even care in general?  Did anything change?  Also some conversation with a long-time fan about one of the big pages I administrated on Facebook and much more.  Don’t forget you can also find video livestream archived on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuJi-GAxkbU and of course as always please like, share, subscribe, comment.  This is as independent as independent media gets, and you are the fuel that keeps John Henry’s hammer swinging.

  • The John Henry Show S1E005 – History of Presidential Debates

    Who runs and controls Presidential Debates?  Why?  What regulates them, who makes the rules, and why?  Who benefits, and how?  JH digs deep into the history of the Presidential Debates to help you understand why they work the way they do, who’s in control, the pros and cons of the current system  We also touch on why we have a “two-party” system and what the real options are to get out of it.
