Jon Rappoport has worked as a free-lance investigative reporter for over 30 years. He has written articles on politics, health, media, culture and art for LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, Village Voice, Nexus, CBS Healthwatch, and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe.
In 1982, the LA Weekly submitted his name for a Pulitzer prize, for his interview with the president of El Salvador University, where the military had taken over the campus.
Jon has hosted, produced, and written radio programs and segments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas (KPFK, KLAV). He has appeared as a guest on over 200 radio and television programs, including ABC's Nightline, Tony Brown's Journal (PBS), and Hard Copy.
In 1994, Jon ran for a seat in the US Congress from the 29th district in Los Angeles. After six months of campaigning, on a very small budget, he garnered 20 percent of the vote running against an incumbent who had occupied his seat for 20 years.
In 1996, Jon started The Great Boycott, against eight corporate chemical giants: Monsanto, Dow, Du Pont, Bayer, Hoechst, Rhone-Poulenc, Imperial Chemical Industries, and Ciba-Geigy. The Boycott continues to operate today.
Jon has lectured extensively all over the US on the question: Who runs the world and what can we do about it?
For the last ten years, Jon has operated largely away from the mainstream because, as he puts it, "My research was not friendly to the conventional media."
Over the last 30 years, Jon's independent research has encompassed such areas as: deep politics, conspiracies, alternative health, the potential of the human imagination, mind control, the medical cartel, symbology, and solutions to the takeover of the planet by hidden elites.
A painter, Jon's work has been shown in galleries in Los Angeles and New York. His poetry has been published by The Massachusetts Review.
He is a graduate of Amherst College (BA, Philosophy), and lives with his wife, Dr. Laura Thompson, in San Diego.

Sunday, December 17, 2017Why has the Deep State gone to war against Donald Trump? Some people say Trump is nothing more than another Globalist puppet. Is that the whole story? Is Trump worse than his supporters want him to be, and better than his enemies claim he is?
Friday, December 15, 2017Big Pharma's control over the news Through octopus foundations like Rockefeller and Gates, the medical/pharma agenda is part and parcel of the Globalist agenda. That is key. Gathering in the world population under the umbrella of "humanitarian health care" is a covert op of the highest order.
Monday, December 11, 2017The collapse of major media The commercials are playing to the older crowd, while the faces of the news are supposedly attracting younger viewers. It's a mess. The news execs and programmers really have no idea what they're doing. They're basically hoping their game somehow lasts until they can retire.
Friday, December 8, 2017The evening news and the gunslinger called Trump News has been controlled, for good reason. It's the source of supposed fact. Important objective fact. The people who own the news have therefore been able to paint an overall portrait of reality for the masses. And now this crazy cowboy hustler comes along, swaggers into the spotlight, and demeans the whole enterprise. IT'S FAKE! The bull is wandering through the china shop, deciding which object to crash next.
Monday, December 4, 2017The power of the individual vs. the staged collective Beyond all political objectives, there is a simple fact: those group-mind addicts who have given up their souls will rage against the faintest appearance of one who tries to keep his. And in this rage, the soulless ones will try to pull the other down to where they live. And somehow, it all looks normal and proper and rational.
Sunday, December 3, 2017Boom: Michael Flynn pleads guilty to lying to the FBI It's probable the FBI was holding other charges over Flynn's head -- relating to his private-sector work on behalf of the Turkish government. A deal was struck: the FBI would forget all about that, if Flynn pled guilty to lying about his conversation with the Russian ambassador, and if he cooperated by rolling over on other members of the Trump team.
Friday, December 1, 2017The Surveillance State is creating new meta-crimes It's a new world. These overseers of universal information-detection can enter and probe the most secret caches of data, collect, collate, cross reference, and assemble them into vital bottom-lines. By comparison, an operation like Wikileaks is an old Model-T Ford puttering down a country road, and Julian Assange is a mere piker.
Sunday, November 26, 2017The Matrix Revealed: Why Logic Disappeared From so-called environmental agendas, to discussions about gender orientation and choice of gender identity, to sex education, to teaching about "liberalism," the indoctrination is getting thicker and deeper. This whole mind-engineering approach would suffer a devastating blow if logic were introduced into the curriculum, particularly at an early age.
Friday, November 24, 2017Compromised: Sex-abuser Congressmen are open to massive blackmail Holding damaging secrets on public figures equals the opportunity for blackmail. Where are all the names of these Congressmen? We're now told that, in the past 10 years, $17 million has been paid out to accusers in small sums. An unknown part of that money was compensation for explicitly sexual offenses.
Wednesday, November 22, 2017Why the Army of Reality always needs more soldiers The process of creating reality never ends. It's the ongoing voyage. It's the reason things become new. It's the reason boredom loses. It's the reason you have no end. It's the reason you can't be stopped. It's the means by which you don't decline. It's the means by which you keep imagining something you haven't imagined before.
Wednesday, November 15, 2017The universal rebel and the psy-op to neuter him We're well into a time period when the experts and scientific authorities are settling on the human being as a biological machine that can only respond to programming. That's their view and their default position. It's sheer madness, of course, but what else do you expect? We're in an intense technological age, and people are obsessed with making things run smoother.
Friday, November 10, 2017Dear Mr. Trump: here's something you can do to defend America's heartland: attack Monsanto Because Monsanto's favorite killer pesticide, Roundup, isn't destroying farmers' weeds, as promised, the company has gone to a stronger and even more toxic solution: dicamba.
Wednesday, November 8, 2017Thomas Jefferson comments on fake news The current campaign, waged by politicians, media leaders, and their social media partners, against independent media, is an act of sheer desperation. The tonnage of fake news, spewed from the most prestigious media outlets, has cracked its own foundations. The public is waking up. So did Thomas Jefferson, more than 200 years ago.
Tuesday, November 7, 2017Texas church shooter: what no one is saying about the insanity of his prior conviction From ABC News: "A mixed jury of officers and enlisted personnel sentenced him [Kelley] to a year's confinement and a reduction in two ranks from an airman first-class (A1C) to airman basic. He also received a bad conduct discharge." That sentence is a crime compounded on Kelley's crimes. A year's confinement? How about 50 years in prison?
Sunday, November 5, 2017In the year 2052 no one can read In the year 2052, no one can read. Well, those who can, can't handle more than 50 or 60 words at a time. And they certainly don't know what fiction is. Or if they do, they don't like it. It bothers them. WHAT ALREADY EXISTS is so much more compelling. Fiction seems ridiculous. Who cares what might be? Who cares about something someone made up?
Friday, October 27, 2017The dirty Trump dossier: what no one is talking about If we bend and twist credulity, and assume Christopher Steele did extract highly secret info about a Russian plot to hand the election to Trump and then control Trump as a Russian asset -- if we assume all that to be true, well, we have just uncovered a MAJOR FRACTURE in the Russian intelligence establishment.
Saturday, October 21, 2017The stage-play of Self and the global mystery Imagination is the source of possibilities which don't yet exist, but could. Imagination makes the as-yet unborn future real. Imagination doesn't feel hemmed in by what already exists. A person, inspired by his own imagination, looks beyond his own present circumstances to inventing a larger future. Imagination doesn't ask for lengthy explanations. It just asks for a vision based on the desire for a great adventure.
Saturday, September 30, 2017Rising up against the Oligarchs does not equal socialism Scratch the surface of any self-proclaimed socialist who happens own a home, and watch what happens when you demand he turn that home over to "the people." He suddenly becomes a raw naked capitalist. But when the pressure is off, he claims every citizen should swear allegiance, so that money and property and services and goods and energy and every necessity and luxury of life can be managed, for the benefit of all.
Wednesday, September 27, 2017Trump/NFL political theater: who's winning? Colin Kaepernick's original message, whatever you may think of it, has exploded into pieces all over the landscape. Now people are talking about the flag, the Anthem, patriotism, the veterans, ungrateful millionaire athletes, "unity," the League, the Commissioner, racism in general, and Trump as a slavemaster according to Jesse Jackson.
Monday, September 25, 2017Trump goes to war with NFL: what happened When people complain these days that they're triggered by the contentious political scene in America, when they seek professional help for their disturbed mental state, in many cases they're simply asking to return to simpler times. "I want the news to lie to me as it's always lied to me, and I want to believe. Let me concoct my old fantasies..."
