Why I Need to Do Something Different

2012-01-20T10:32:00.002-06:00

By John Kubicek I originally wrote this back on December 27, 2011, but I never published it. I was going to add more to this, but that didn't happen. It does just happen, though, that this topic will fit in with another project I am currently working on, and so posting this is essential in making my point. As is, it is done. The interesting thing is that I did not have to change the title. It

This Is How They Do It

2011-09-19T12:48:00.000-05:00

By John Kubicek There will be one thing that will be apparent to you in a very short amount of time: President Obama will find a way to make the bad economy be for his advantage in November of 2012. Obama is in the process of making sure that Republicans and rich people get the blame for how bad things are going, even with all of the stupid ideas the Democrats and progressives have come up

The translation of the Hawvawd study? DUH! (Bring on the Fireworks!)

2011-07-06T11:21:00.004-05:00

By John Kubicek Seriously, I can not make this stuff up! While in the process of working on another blog story, "Occupied Nation ~ By Patrice Lewis," on Sunday morning, a subject came up on Fox & Friends Sunday that took me by surprise. I had not heard about this before Sunday. Isn't it interesting that it came out right before the July 4th holiday weekend? Surely, it was just ironic

Lost at sea? So ... I may be a "deather"?

2011-05-09T10:48:00.040-05:00

By John Kubicek May 9, 2011 I do not buy into most conspiracy theories, unless... umm... Maybe it's just me, wondering about very strange changes in the original storyline put out by - who else - President Barry. If you haven't noticed, all of the Press - even Fox News - has made the claim that there is no question that the raid on Obama's "crib" took place, he is dead, and he sleeps with the

Setting the Stage - Part 6: Could the Eagle Crash and Burn?

2011-03-29T06:00:00.156-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE The major theme of this column is about giving up rights in order to be secure. Four years later, my views may have changed a tad bit. The reason my views changed? When I wrote this, I felt that the Bush administration would not have a reason to use our communications against us if we weren't actual terrorists. Well, now, I am not so confident that is the case with the Obama

Setting the Stage - Part 5 - God's Chosen People

2011-03-16T11:16:00.004-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE For reasons that I will believe that you will soon understand, once you read this installment of Setting the Stage, I need to include what I said back in July 2010 in the last installment of this series. It is a disclaimer that you should be aware of: Written four years ago, I take great pride in knowing what I knew THEN! Does that make me prophetic? Absolutely not, but like Glenn

The Sheriff's Vitriol

2011-01-10T00:52:00.005-06:00

By John Kubicek Back on December 2, 2010, I wrote a Special Announcement at my johnny2k's Blogging in Our Time2Escape blog. Here is a small portion of that post: The original intent of this blog was to help people find other great bloggers with their own commentaries and stories to tell. It was meant to be a service for the enjoyment of the visitors to this blog, along with a little promotion

Okay, so I'm not really Superman

2010-12-25T02:31:00.003-06:00

By John Kubicek December 25, 2010 Here I am, early Christmas morning, writing on my blog. Why would I do such a thing? Shouldn't I be soundly sleeping, or at least watching for Santa's sleigh passing overhead? Years ago, I would have been doing the more traditional type of things. But now, it's all about letting those in my social network know that I love them and care about them... and I go

Setting the Stage - Part 4 - The Evil Axis

2010-07-28T13:37:00.000-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE Written four years ago, I take great pride in knowing what I knew THEN! Does that make me prophetic? Absolutely not, but like Glenn Beck, I picked up on things that were happening, and was somehow able to see what was going to be in store for America in the future. I may not have ever been aware of things that were going on had I not followed some sources, such as Joseph

Setting the Stage - Part 3 - Your ID, Please

2010-07-05T02:19:00.003-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE Okay, so what I wrote about four years ago hasn't happened... YET. And you never know, it could still be a decade away. Or maybe not... As my good friend Phil Elmore would probably say, "technology is a tool that can be used for good or evil." Deciding which way the technology of tracking people will go can go either way. It can be used for the good to keep the pedophiles away

Setting the Stage - Part 2 - The UN-Solution

2010-06-16T02:45:00.002-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE Written back in May of 2006, you would think that in a little over four years, things would have changed by now. The border and illegal immigration was an issue in 2006, and it still is (see the second video I inserted). And there has to be a reason for the UN-Solution, meaning that the politicians are refusing to do anything but continue to try to get amnesty for all of the

Setting the Stage - Part 1: Illegal Immigration: Can We Do the Right Thing?

2010-06-14T11:22:00.001-05:00

EDITOR'S NOTE I was a supporter of George W. Bush until half-way through his second term. That was when I realized he was just another globalist, when the unenforced open borders issue stuck out it's ugly neck, and certain people in Congress wanted amnesty for illegal aliens from Mexico. Guys like John McCain and Lindsey Graham should ring a bell, right? I have no doubt now that the amnesty

Setting the Stage - The Prologue

2010-06-02T11:25:00.005-05:00

Editor's note: I began writing the series, "Setting the Stage," on April 30, 2006. Since that time, the series has received over 8,000 views. I have decided that with the things that are going on in the world right now, it was time to update it and bring it to this venue. You will understand why I am doing this once you start reading it. As I repost the series here, I am not going to change

It was a Memorial Day celebration through commemoration

2010-06-01T10:20:00.100-05:00

By John Kubicek After a 12 hour shift at work yesterday, I finally got home just before 11:00 a.m. And then I hunkered down, in my man-cave, and went to WORK! It was Memorial Day, and I wanted to do all I could do to honor our troops, both the living and the fallen, the vets and active duty. I had remembered the words I had read early Monday morning that said, "Don't just celebrate.

4Troops: Understanding Our Purpose ~ By John kubicek

2010-05-17T16:50:00.005-05:00

By John kubicek A Captain in the military was shot and killed. Well, not exactly, because after a 110% heroic effort by the medics and docs, the Captain survived what should have been a fatal wound. You will see him in a video later on in this space, but for now, let's see why his life was so important to us. It seems like it was just days ago, but turns out to be a few months ago... (Where

Victoria Jackson is Jazzed for the Tea Party and Sarah Palin!

2010-03-28T07:59:00.001-05:00

By John Kubicek I don't want to brag, but like Victoria Jackson, I must also be prescient. When I posted the following video on youtube, I called it right. I knew what the results would be. Here is what I wrote in the video description: I'll just tell you this right now, the left will make something of this segment. I guarantee it. And they will say things that wouldn't be politically correct,

This is a case where you don't have to listen to me

2010-03-12T10:34:00.001-06:00

By John Kubicek NOTE: I was listening to Glenn Beck's radio show when I wrote this and added it to the blog. If you want to hear commentary on Lindsey Graham from the professionals, then you should be listening to Glenn Beck with his guest, Senator Jim DeMint. My head feels like it is going to explode now that I've heard DeMint sort of support Grahamnesty. Maybe he should watch this video:

It's Michelle Malkin - Always right on!

2010-03-02T15:13:00.000-06:00

By John Kubicek Anytime I get home from work and manage to catch the last hour of Fox & Friends, and get to see a Michelle Malkin segment, it's a great day! As always, in the segment I got to see last week, on Feb 25, she was right on! In this segment, Michelle and the Fox & Friends hosts, discussed some great subjects: The Health Care Summit National Security, and the real national security

The Kamikaze pilot wasn't a right-wing-extremist or Tea-partier!

2010-03-02T14:20:00.001-06:00

By John Kubicek On February 23, 2010, I uploaded the video you will see below. I just knew that the things Bernie Goldberg was telling Bill O'Reilly would lead to a deeper meaning. And sure enough, just a few days later, I found a column that said that the Conservative Movement, and even more importantly, the TEA Party movement, were going to distance themselves from certain "fragments" of the

A billboard campaign gets personal

2010-03-02T13:18:00.000-06:00

By John Kubicek This time, the purchasers of billboard space comes forward with an important message. Don't be afraid, you are not alone. They were not kidding when John and Eddy says this gets personal. It's about time some patriots got a spine and do what it takes, and go public. Video provided by TheREALjohnny2k Be sure to check

Hopefully, this isn't saying that Justice is a Joke

2010-02-27T06:04:00.000-06:00

February 19, 2010 Now you know that I have an addiction to Law. I hope an attorney or two watch this one. Believe me, saying the wrong thing can screw up your life. We hire the attorney to keep us from saying the wrong thing, for God's sake! But, it is scarier than ever when the attorney says something ignorant or stupid! (Oh, wait, that sounds like Congress!!)

"As of now, I am in control... " Alexander Haig has passed away

2010-02-20T13:31:00.002-06:00

February 20, 2010 ~ RIP: Alexander Haig passes away A man of years of civil service, both in military and civilian roles, has passed away. The man was remarkable. To get an idea of what he has done, please watch this video. Alexander Haig was a patriot and a servant. Video provided by TheREALjohnny2k

"For Freedom" - A special Valentine for my fellow Freedom Lovers!

2010-02-08T11:40:00.001-06:00

By John Kubicek I watch Fox and Friends every day, at least a portion of it, when I get home from work. They are always having great musical performers doing something special, usually on Fridays. Well, last Friday, the guests were a group called, "4Troops." It was very, very special. Any "tea party" group out there need to sign these people up to perform at conventions and rallies! Yes,

Last Week on TheREALjohnny2k: Overwhelming!

2010-02-06T12:54:00.002-06:00

By John Kubicek (The REAL johnny2k) February 6, 2010 It has been a month since I last wrote regarding videos that I've uploaded on youtube.com at my channel, TheREALjohnny2k. Just in case you didn't notice, I've uploaded a ton of videos. It's been a flurry of awesome educational news segments that will help you know more about what you NEED to know about. (Which is in sharp contrast to the way

Finding the Answers: Glenn Beck's Interview with Sarah Palin: January 13, 2010

2010-01-14T12:01:00.020-06:00

By John KubicekCan you imagine Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck hosting Saturday Night Live together? It could save NBC! But that is not why I put this blog together, and embedded the videos I had uploaded to youtube. If that had been the reason, I just wasted many hours of my time.Fortunately, that wasn't the case. I did all the work because of just one important reason. This was probably the

The War They Won't Admit We're Fighting

2010-01-04T17:27:00.007-06:00

By John KubicekLet's see, now, according to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, events such as explosive devices that kill and maim people are not acts of terror, but just man-caused disasters. Attacks on Americans, whether on military personnel or civilians, are now criminal acts. Let's close Gitmo, it's recruiting material for the enemy. We should be trying terrorists

2010-01-02T09:22:00.016-06:00

By John KubicekAs you all know, the Christmas and New Year holiday season is a busy time. It probably ranks high in being the busiest time of the year for many of us. It's good, because many of us are making preparations for the time to be with our families.One of the things I did was to produce the picture you see on the right. (Obviously, I did a little "photoshoppng" on this picture, though

There was a time when TV was free, and now look what happened!

2009-12-30T09:54:00.018-06:00

By John KubicekWhat I wanted to write about today has been a great challenge. This all started with a dilemma that mostly involves people here in Iowa, but ultimately, every one of you. I must admit, there was a huge motivation I had in dealing with this problem that you wouldn't really care about if you live on one of the coasts. But, this dilemma may actually reach you at some time in the

What Is Christmas?

2009-12-25T12:43:00.007-06:00

By John KubicekI know, Christmas is about Miracles. I know that because today is Christmas, and I have seen my miracle...So let me give you some background to this story. I got to get home fairly early from work today, and I got to see a good portion of Fox & Friends. As always, I recorded it, hoping to get some great viceo to put up on youtube. Oh, yeah, it was great today. There was a lot

By John KubicekUpdated December 23, 2009. I realized today, when I read the original version, it was incomplete, and barely comprehensible. I must have been tired and in a hurry to get it posted. I apologize to my readers, and I hope this edition will be much better!!Earlier today, I read a great piece by Barbara Simpson, "2010, here I come." She writes:I've been thinking about my

WATCHING WHAT THE OTHER HAND IS DOINGBy John KubicekThe first three videos that you will see below set the theme of this week's edition of Last Week on TheREALjohnny2k. As you will see, there is a good reason why I mention that you need to watch the other hand.As you watch the assortment of videos below, there are things you need to think about. First, ask yourself if you had heard about the

Exopolitics: It Can Explain Everything

2009-12-11T12:01:00.015-06:00

By John KubicekPlease forgive me today for thinking out loud. But I can't hold this epiphany back because it's all about Barack's dream of global nuclear disarmament. This all started when I read an article by Michael Salla, Ph.D., called, "Norway light spiral – missile failure caused by UFO/ET intervention?" That's right, I was trying to see what that strange light in Northern Norway was all

Last Week on TheREALjohnny2k - 11/30 through 12/06/09

2009-12-07T11:41:00.020-06:00

By John KubicekI was wondering why I felt so tired last week. I knew it had something to do with a lack of sleep, but until now, I wasn't aware of all that I had accomplished last week. It took forever to get all of the videos up on this page this week. Did I count that right? Ten? No wonder I feel like taking a day off! Or, at least a nap. I'm tired!But here I am, keeping up with the news,

"My thoughts on Climate Gate"

2009-12-05T13:23:00.004-06:00

By John KubicekIt was from a perspective that we'd never predict. A kid with a video that I found on youtube.com just awhile ago. You see the long hair, and immediately assume an indoctrinated kid believing in all the state-run indoctrination centers try to fill his head with. But, instead, we see a kid with character, one that doesn't cuss, and makes very profound points that most adults

2009-12-01T11:44:00.023-06:00

By John KubicekI was told today that I shouldn't talk so much about myself in my blogs. Of course, the person that told me that has to be right. I've learned not to question great wisdom. But to literally apply the great advice I received would negate the entire purpose of this blog today.Hey, have you ever noticed that difficulties come our way no matter how hard we try (to live our lives in a

Regarding a discussion about EMP and "One Second After," a novel by Professor William R. ForstchenBy John KubicekI had just finished posting the great column "The Sky is Falling!" by Dave Johannes from Uncommon Sense when Coast to Coast A.M. came on the radio.

And also maybe for all of you patriots out there that wonder where this country is going.Yes, I'm just a little behind this week. Normally, this post would have been done at least by last Monday, but I had a slight

By John KubicekSunday, November 15, 2009As you will see, I added quite a few videos to TheREALjohnny2k youtube.com channel this last week. Not only was there quite a bit of material that I found that was worthy of uploading, I also had a lot of time on my hands last week. For once, I practically had an unlimited amount of time in order to do what needed to be done in order to find excellent

Saluting Our Veterans, Past and Present

2009-11-12T09:15:00.014-06:00

By John KubicekJust before Veteran's Day this year, there is a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. Anger and frustration has built up in me as I followed this story from the day it occurred. The Obama administration hesitates to call it what it is, an act of terrorism. While the terrorist that did the shooting fits completely into the mold of the very people that we are fighting on two fronts, Iraq

By John KubicekI apologize for a little delay in getting done with this weeks installment of Last Week on TheREALjohnny2k. I had to take Monday off for some post-op outpatient recovery time. As it turned out, there was no shortage of events and issues that I tried to cover last week, and it was almost overwhelming. There was no shortage of clips that I had collected regarding the House vote on

Please, just nine more minutes of sleep!And I wouldn't be surprised to know that some of you that are reading this have been holed up in some motel room with an important appointment to get to, or a flight to catch, and

2009-11-02T23:30:00.022-06:00

By John KubicekIt was an amazing week! At the end of this blog, you will see the inspirational video that got me going this week. A very good friend of mine referred it to me in an email just a few days ago. It's called 2010, by Lloyd Marcus. But in order to understand the meaning of that outstanding video, you will want to see every one of the videos I posted this week.Think about it. America is

By John KubicekSomething very special has been happening in a part of America that rarely gets attention. But when there is attention, we make it big.It really hit me today, when watching the Iowa Hawkeyes win another game, and yet the ESPN announcers were still being quick to discredit the Hawkeyes as a contender for the National Championship. It reminded me of how the tea party patriots have

2009-10-18T03:59:00.016-05:00

By John KubicekThere may be a couple things that you will notice about This Week on TheREALjohnny2k today. First, the obvious. For the last several weeks, I had been posting this series in my other blog, johnny2k's Blogging In Our Time 2 Escape. I decided to go back to putting it on this blog, as I had originally done, for a couple of reasons. This blog is where I post my own work, and I guess

How About: While They Are There

2009-10-02T09:57:00.013-05:00

By John KubicekI had doubts that I would see anything on the news this morning that would ever be worthy enough to take the time to upload to youtube. I had no desire to spend time video blogging about what a scumbag Dave Letterman is. In fact, that is now a well known fact that I really wanted to erase from my mind. It was not an image that I wanted to have stuck in my head.And of course,

By John KubicekBeing this is the first week I've done this, I am sure that some of the followers of this blog may not be aware that I have a youtube channel that goes by TheREALjohnny2k. Well, now you know. But, I know also that not everyone will have time to get to my channel as often as I upload my videos. For this reason, I've decided to start this weekly feature where every Sunday, when you

WE Are the MOB: Do You Hear Us Now?

2009-09-14T11:38:00.008-05:00

By John KubicekThey thought that they knew who we are.They thought that they could just keep pulling the wool over our eyes. No wonder. That seems to reflect the general and complacent wool-over-the-eyes attitude of the "sheople," doesn't it? "Why worry, we can't do nothin' 'bout it anyhow." So, doesn't it make it pretty hard to figure that "10's of thousands" of us folks would be gathering in

2009-09-11T10:02:00.007-05:00

By John KubicekThis story has been brewing in my mind all this week. Just a day or two ago, I really did not know where this story would take me, and you, in what I could and would write.That was before I had the resolve to see the day through. But today, I saw the whole replay of the events of 9/11 from beginning to end. I could not help but to relive all the emotions I went through that dark

Maybe the Mean Stream Media should resign along with Van Jones!

By John Kubicek"The Truth Is Out There" was the theme of a FOX TV show that was on in the 90's, known as "The X-Files." But it seems that the Mainstream Media (now to be called the Mean Stream Media) wasn't aware that there are people that would find the truth, despite the MSM effort to bury a story that would make their boss, Barack Hussein Obama, look bad.Of course, it's already old news that

To My Dear Loved Ones

2009-09-03T09:28:00.004-05:00

A Message From John KubicekThere is a price to pay when we stick out our necks. Okay, maybe not quite as harsh as the price paid during the French Revolution when heads rolled, but just the same... Sometimes, making difficult choices really hurt. I am finding that some of the sacrifices that I make really DO have ramifications. There are consequences in doing things that take time away from

Dismiss the Threat at Your Own Peril

2009-09-01T15:59:00.017-05:00

By John KubicekSeptember 1, 2009Is there a threat to our God-given liberty in the country once known as the United States of America? Nah, didn't think so! Or, really... do we have anything to worry about?Well, honestly, if you answered the question(s) above with a "NO" - I guess I can relate somewhat to that. On September 10, 2001, many of us weren't thinking about what "could happen," right?

Don’t Give Up, Even Though He’s Heavy (He’s My Big Brother)

2009-08-30T12:23:00.011-05:00

By John KubicekI keep asking myself, "Is resistance futile?"On one hand, I could say that I'm not worried, there are a few people out there like me that are going all out in order to save this country. With the Grace of God, we'll succeed, and we'll wake up many of the sheeple in America that were formerly oblivious to what is going on. God knows, I've tried my hardest.But, on the other hand,

Paul Revere Rides Again

2009-08-24T10:15:00.007-05:00

By John Kubicek"Tyranny is coming! Tyranny is coming!"Wait, I guess that wasn't exactly what Paul Revere was saying, but somebody else that we all now know was shouting it in his own way. That's right. David Hedrick, Marine vet and star of the now viral video seen below, was giving us all patriotism arousal. That's a really good thing these days. Anyone that hasn't seen the above video until

The Silencing of the Sheeple

2009-08-14T09:11:00.013-05:00

By John KubicekI came up with the idea for this writing when I saw the following segment on Fox & Friends:We all know that eventually, as we age, we come down with the CRS (Can't Remember Stuff) disease, but I was able to remember when those that protested the War In Iraq complained about being called unpatriotic because they disagreed with the war effort, especially in Iraq. That was back in the

"Manufactured" Opposition Building

By John KubicekWhile in the process of working on this piece, I continued to see additional evidence that I would have liked to include here. I was watching Fox News. Yes, they ARE fair and balanced; and I was continuously bombarded with the MSM disinformation that the uprising at town hall meetings is "manufactured" or orchestrated.Today, you are going to learn something new.

By John KubicekThere is no doubt in my mind - EVER - that God leads us to doing what we need to do when it is His plan. I have had that experience over the last few weeks, where the directions my life has taken have lead me to new destinations, and not part of my plan, but because of His plan for me. I can give testimony to that, as what I thought I would be doing just a month ago has completely

By John Kubicek In the last few days, I felt like I was in a rut. It was like all I do is go to work and then come home to the same old things, more or less. There's the dishes to do, laundry, cooking my supper, taking care of my dog Moochie and my cat RC, check and respond to email, occasionally doing a little cleaning or working out in the yard, and running errands every now and then.

The Commercial You Will Never See Again

2009-07-19T00:24:00.004-05:00

By John KubicekThe video from jokecrib on Youtube.com takes me back to when I was a kid and there were commercials on TV that haven't been allowed for many, many years, for cigarettes. Some of them were the best ever commercials. I loved the Marlboro Man... Or, remember this one? "I'd rather fight than quit" (Terryton). You see, those ads worked in my case. And that is not necessarily a good

And one more time, as would be expected, a liberal has to try to call the Governor of Alaska "dumb".

By John KubicekJust a little more than a month ago (May 19), a strange thing happened at work. We see a few feral felines out at my work site which is in a rural area. But until May 19, I had never seen a domesticated cat out there. That is when I met Pearse.Unfortunately, pet owners in this part of Iowa, since the flood last year, and because of the economy, have been having problems with either

Being a news junkie, I will never have withdrawal symptoms, unless this country gets hit by an EMP, or sun spots, and we lose all access to the internet.So, let me just tell you, I've moved on to the harder

And I am not even talking about Sam's lousy spelling and grammatical skills. Actually, the real problem I

I had really been considering getting another dog, hopefully one at the local kennel that had been abandoned... and preferably a yellow lab.While God answers our prayers, He sometimes gives us something that may be a litlle different than we were asking for. Instead, I got ... a kitten!I was at work Sunday night,

More About "Being Schooled": Indoctrination

2009-05-13T09:41:00.014-05:00

By John KubicekIn my last column, "Being Schooled," I wrote the following:So, here's my point: I'm pretty sure that the public education system is totally broken. I have this feeling that our kids are being indoctrinated... However, I am also aware of the fact that kids could also be indoctrinated if they went to private schools or if they were home-schooled. The obvious key here is, who are the

My agenda of things I would accomplish went completely off the charts following an early Spring snow storm. And that is okay. It is times like this that give me a "fix" of learning more about God's gifts to us all.

As a radio host known as "Mancow" from Chicago says, beware when you hear those words: "It's for the children"And maybe the word "passion" would be an understatement when it comes to the audacity of a new "star" in the radio talk shows and a personality that a few of us are
