Today’s show jumps around.

First Jim Puplava, from the Financial Sense Newshour steps in for a segment
to see if all the hollerin’ from Wall Street is a real crisis and where we’re
headed for the next year.

Then hats are switched and Becky Garrison, editor of the Wittenburg Door magazine
and author of “The New Atheist Crusaders and Their Unholy Grail” (www.wittenburgdoor.com)
presents the case for debate and satire in the conflict between atheism and
Christianity.

Finally, we air clips of John’s talk to the Ron Paul campaign in Spokane, Washington,
this week.

The boralogue rotates around small but important stories that make up the fabric
of international geopolitics.

The flying wedge continues down the heart of the evangelical churches and very shortly it will be divided into good religion and bad religion. Much of this will be in the name of producing mentally healthy churches, conforming to the new dialectical global standards of inclusivity. However, the new standards
are not based on Christianity but on dialectical atheism and New Age pantheism.

Warren Smith, author of “the Light that was Dark” returns to the program for a look at how dialectical thought, the New Age and evangelicalism are blending together to form new religious systems. Even the concept of “reimagining”
or “rethinking” being promoted by Christian leaders emerges from the New Age.

John’s boralogue observes that, with a deteriorating economic situation, the discussion has shifted from calls for increased taxes but rather a tax rebate to “stimulate” an economy in crisis. It’s really going to be a bumpy four years and Americans are slated to feel much pain if we continue on this course.

At the end of the show, we run a clips from Mikhail Gorbachev’s State of the World forum in 1995, where former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski calls for a global government to be preceded by global regionalization, exactly
the type of process emerging in the Security and Prosperity Partnership just ten years later. One must ask, if there were no plan, how did we get here from there?

Well another U.S. president at the end of his term in office trotted off to
the Middle East this week in search of a legacy and yet another peace treaty.
When President Clinton did the same thing seven years ago, everything blew up
in the world’s face. In sixty years the disputed Middle East issues have rarely
changed and the script has rarely varied; the roles have simply been taken by
a progressive carousel of new players. Shoshana Bryen from JINSA (www.jinsa.org)
returns for another look at another peace process.

Religion has always played a fundamental role in the politics of the United
States from its founding through the Civil War to the civil rights movement.
So when did we become a secular society where religion must be excluded? It’s
the myth of recent historical revisionism. In the second half of the show the
partnership between religion and politics seen by Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln is under examination. Matthew Holland guests.

John’s boralogue provides pointers on surviving the “silly season” until the
U.S. elections in November — preferably with your sanity intact,

It’s been so good taking time off, we’re still doing it, making today’s program a "perspective" event.

Economist and actor Ben Stein has a new movie release this year entitled, "Expelled!" exposing the intolerant politically correct atmosphere threatening the careers of dissenting professors on college campuses today.  Mark Mathis is the producer of the film and he joins us for the first part of the program today.

Some of the best reading available rotates around the biographies of great people.  Nicholas Wapshott is the former editor of the Times of London, and he’s authored, "Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, A Political Marriage,"  focusing on the relationship between both leaders and Mr. Wapshott joins us from the U.K.
