The Road Back along the Road Ahead

Merry Christmas everyone. We’re taking time off today, as we hope you’re doing.

How did America get to the point in just 50 years that it has completely up-ended itself? What does this mean in the rough times to come, now that the country has chopped itself loose from its reference points? Regardless of what everyone else does, what can we do to help ourselves and each other?

To answer some of these questions, we’ll air John’s speech at the Strategic Trends conference in October of this year.

State Nullification and Runaway Spending

John’s extended boralogue links a series of events from the week, explaining why young people have a hard time thinking clearly and critically and why they are susceptible to group think and manipulation. That moves us into the fallacy of the week: equivocation.

It’s very clear that Washington has us on a course to economic disaster with the throttle wide open, and the American public likes it because no one wants their entitlements cut. Can something brake that? Dr. Thomas Woods, Ph.D., (www.tomwoods.com) from the Ludwig von Mises Institute is author of “Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.”

Around Christmas time we have become accustomed to fights over nativity displays and separation of church and state. But what would the founders have thought? Historian Dr. Thomas Kidd, Ph.D., is author of “God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution.”

When the Dollar Dies

We’re clearing out the show today to focus on the end of civilization as we know it. Well, OK, maybe that’s a bit extreme.

This week a lot of data points moved cross the international monetary scene, which are setting stage for the next 48-70 months of geopolitical activity and conflict. That’s why it’s important to focus on this in-depth.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stated on CBS “60 Minutes” he’ll inflate as much as he needs to. Meanwhile congress is running oblivious to the onrushing economic storms and acting as if business as usual is the norm, infighting over agendas which have no bearing on reality. Thus, a course toward the death of the dollar has been set. In essence, it’s out of control.

First, John does an extended boralogue connecting the data points from this week. Then Dave McAlvany (www.mcalvany.com) from the McAlvany Weekly Commentary joins the show for an in-depth look at what happens historically when a currency dies and where we stand in comparison to that.

Imagine Where We Will Be

John does a two-part boralogue this week tying together multiple news stories and showing the direction away from freedom we are heading when it comes to personal security. The second half continues a thread on what happens when money dies.

In the 1920s and 1930s progressive socialists and Marxist communists were proud to be kissing cousins. This was especially true of humanist educators like John Dewey. But then progressives pretended to sever the link and went underground. Why and how then did we arrive in the 21st Century with so many Marxist ideas being taught in our schools? Former Idaho State Representative Curtis Bowers (www.agendadocumentary.com) discusses his new documentary, “Agenda: Grinding America Down.”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is trying to seize control of the internet by end-running congress through the implementation of “net neutrality” provisions by means of regulations. Phil Kerpen, Vice President of Americans for Prosperity (www.americansforprosperity.org), heads up an effort to block this.

More on the dying dollar thread as we connect with Craig Smith (www.crashingthedollar.com) to discuss his new book, “Crashing the Dollar.”

Merging Man and Machine in Transhumanism

First, we’ll examine the persecution of Christians in Egypt by once again asking the question, “Will the real Islam please stand up?” Youssef Ibrahim, editor for the Hudson Institute and the Wall Street Journal, examines the debate Muslims will not hold within their own faith as western politically correct narratives about Islam break down in the light of reality.

Then we’ll introduce the emerging global philosophy of transhumanism as Dr. Martin Eerdman, Ph.D., from Switzerland returns to the program. This is a movement that you could call eccentric if it didn’t have so many heavy hitters behind it.

John’s extended boralogue examines the philosophical roots surrounding why so many of our liberal friends don’t seem to want to engage in political discussion any more. The logical fallacy of the week is the “straw man” fallacy.

How Bad Could It Get?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

John’s boralogue kicks off the show by addressing those things for which we should be thankful this Thanksgiving, even if it means suffering and problems.

Then we’ll dig into our promise to examine what quantitative easing means, what happens when a currency dies and what’s going to happen to Social Security and Medicare. Dr. Alieta Eck (www.aapsonline.org) from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons joins the program.

How bad could things get as economics deteriorate over the next few years? We’ll ask Dr. Paul Williams, M.D., (www.whenallplansfail.com) that question as he begins a monthly series on this subject. He also describes the ongoing situation in Haiti.

Finally, why is the U.S. building itself back into an energy corner? John Walker (www.trueresults4us.org) is author of “Resurrection of a Nation,” and he has some answers.

Storing and Stacking

his Sunday is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Ben Duff from Christian Freedom International (www.christianfreedom.org) joins us for a discussion on the significance of this day.

We’re plowing into a turbulent period, where there is a high probability of price inflation and potential commodity shortages ranging from food to fuel to water. It’s time we discuss food storage as a way of life instead of running to the supermarket every time we think, “What’s for dinner?” Joann Brusso (www.babybites.info) is back with us.

John’s boralogue unifies numerous data points with insights on the sequential crises heading towards us and a focus on how we’re going to handle them. This includes a new thread on what it means to say, “The dollar is headed for a collapse.” So what?
