At a time when energy is becoming more and more expensive, congress
is considering legislation designed to make it even more expensive.
This week the Warner-Liebermann bill is being debated in the
Senate, a proposal to begin a system of caps and credits to curb
CO2 emissions, which is nothing more than another tax on top of an
already teetery economy. The rising prices of fuel are already
reducing CO2 emissions.

Although coverage of the cyclone aftermath in Myanmar (Burma) has
dropped off the media’s radar, the situation is still desperate.
Myanmar’s military government is trying to prevent aid from getting
to Karen Christians and missionaries are forced to mule supplies
and relief into the country going around road blocks and
checkpoints. Jim Jacobson from Christian Freedom International
(www.christianfreedom.org) joins us on the program. This is an
area where you can directly help.

Alfred L. McMichael was the first African-American in the Marine
Corps to achieve the rank of Sergeant Major and author of
“Leadership: Achieving Life-Changing Success from Within.” He
describes his philosophy of building character. This is part of
our ongoing vignettes featuring men and women of character with
unique ideas to counter balance the defunct education system today.

John’s boralogue is an update on the perfect financial storm which,
if it stays on schedule, will break over the country around the
beginning of 2009. Our politicians will determine whether this is
going to be just a bad recession or a depression. In the second
hour of the show he responds to emails from listeners regarding
earlier programs.

Busy show today but we’re not doing anything on the elections, so
you can breathe a big sigh of relief.

China is the first main topic. In all the justifiable furor over
civil rights in China, the Olympic games and China’s role in buying
U.S. debt to enabling the U.S.’s frivolous economic policies, what
do westerners really know about the country? There is real
disparity between the public image and the real China. French
journalist Guy Sorman has authored a new book on the subject
entitled, The Empire of Lies, and he’s the first guest on today’s
show.

When dealing with individuals, abortion slides underground in the
church, even though statistics show the abortion rate to be about
the same among conservatives as among other groups. As such,
people are silent about post-abortion effects on their lives even
when they come to regret what they have done. Michaelene
Fredenburg has written, Changed: Making Sense of Your Own or a
Loved One’s Abortion Experience. (www.abortionchangesyou.com)

Finally, since intelligent design is an issue, British film
producer Mark Haville (www.explorationfilms.com) has released two
excellent Life Story documentaries on the subject and he’s our
final guest today.

John’s boralogue does a summary update on the emerging energy
crisis and how congress doesn’t have a clue of how to fix it.

Asia has had it rough; a major earthquake in China and a cyclone
devastating Myanmar (formerly Burma). However, Myanmar’s military
government has been blocking aid to the thousands of people who
desperately require food and water. Still, there’s one group of
people on the ground already doing something: missionaries. Donald
McElvaney from Mission Barnabas (www.missionbarnabas.org) comes on
board to tell SOS listeners how they can help effectively.

Our New Age Morphing conference last week produced interesting
emails from listeners. One person wanted to know why the baby
boomers moved away from their core belief systems, leaving Gen-Xers
and Gen-Yers high and dry in their world views. We’ll hear from
Beverly Eakman (www.beverlye.com), author of “The Cloning of the
American Mind,” and “Walking Targets: How Our Psychologized
Classrooms Produce a Nation of Sitting Ducks.”

As the oil crisis deepens, Congress didn’t see it coming so they
don’t know what to do now that it’s here. Thus they spent a lot of
time this week posturing and spouting nonsense. John does an
extended boralogue painting a realistic picture of where we stand
regarding the growing energy crisis. The U.S. has painted itself
into an energy corner, lacking a comprehensive energy and
environmental policy. This means no quick fixes and considerable
amounts of pain for Americans.

Time to clear the decks for a conference call today. We haven’t
done one in a long time so it’s overdue.

Almost thirty years ago Detroit attorney, Constance Cumbey,
published a book entitled, /Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow/, warning
of a major paradigm shift transforming politics and religion,
moving us to a global blend of politics and pantheism, socialism
with Christianity.

Many shrugged it off as a passing fad. Today the New Age has not
only persisted and flourished, but is embraced by churches from
Catholic to Pentecostal. How did so many people — especially
pastors — miss the warning?

Our participants today are attorney Constance Cumbey
(www.cumbey.blogspot.com), Warren Smith, author of The Light the
was Dark, Sarah Leslie (www.herescope.blogspot.com), plus Mitch
and Machelle Wright.

John’s boralogue frames the entire hour and a half conversation.

Today’s program features the longest boralogue in the history of
the program, outlining a trail of progressive and radical
organizations from the early 1900s through the protest movements of
the 60s, and how they morphed into academia and still maintain
widespread influence in political thought today.

In line with this history, we then interview Pastor Jesus del
Cristo (www.palabraviva.org), who grew up in Castro’s Cuba and
compares events there with events in the United States today.

Finally, John keeps a promise and reads emails in response to the
Frank Schaeffer interview of a couple of weeks ago.
