Merry Christmas again. We're taking the holiday weekend off so we've pre-packaged a (hopefully) interesting program for you.

The scandal surrounding global warming has far-reaching implications for the intelligent design debate, because the attack arguments used against ID proponents are identical to those used against global warming skeptics. Dr. Steven Meyer, Ph.D., and Jay Richards from the Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org) join the program for an interesting conversation about the soul-searching confronting science right now.

Then we'll run clips from a 1995 SOS program featuring Joan Veon from the Women's Group, who attended the panoply of UN conferences that were taking place around that time in Istanbul, Cairo and yes, Copenhagen. It provides perspective on which UN agendas have been rolling forward all this time and which are resurfacing.

John's boralogue reviews the latest news on Climategate, where a Wikipedia editor re-wrote over 5,000 articles to eliminate any indication that there was global warming dissent among scientists.

Merry Christmas everyone.

We clear the decks on today program's for an 80-minute round table featuring four gentlemen, who have been observers of global governance for over two decades: Gary Kah at www.garykah.org and author of "En Route to Global Occupation," from Canada Carl Teichrib at www.forcingchange.org, Dr. Dennis Cuddy, author of "The Globalists," www.newswithviews.com, and Brannon Howse, producer of the worldview weekends, www.worldviewtimes.com.

Seventeen years elapsed between the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and the Copenhagen 15 conference on global warming, which took place this week. What threads link the two? The answer is an ongoing stream of crises, real or imagined, being used to promote global governance and transfer of sovereignty.

John begins this thread with an extended boralogue on the theology of pantheism permeating climate change science and other environmental issues, which ultimately leads to a cult of death. Clips from the movies "The Day the Earth Stood Still," both the current remake and the 1951 original, are used to illustrate points being made.

Then we'll log in a report from Phil Kerpen of Americans for Prosperity (www.americansforprosperity.org), just back from Copenhagen 15, followed by a report from Bill Jasper at the New American (www.thenewamerican.com) 17 years ago, who was attending the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992. A comparison is made.

Finally, Dr. Michael Coffman, Ph.D., president of Sovereignty International (www.nocapandtrade.us) returns to the program. Dr. Coffman is author of the book "Saviors of the Earth," and has been monitoring the use of environmental crises to promote global governance for almost three decades.

John starts the show with a boralogue examining the reasons people are currently upset with government. It seems to boil down to the fact that Americans are weary of having politicians and bureaucrats lie to them.

When a paradigm collapses, those endorsing it become downright shrill in trying to defend what becomes increasingly indefensible. We're revisiting the evolving global warming scandal this week, because it is instructive watching the dynamics of a collapsing paradigm, a lesson applicable to everything from economy to healthcare. Skeptical scientist Dr. Tim Ball (www.friendsofscience.org) joins us for this segment.

One consistently and completely failed promise of government for 30 years has been reforming education to make us competitive in the 21st Century. However, individual charter schools are actually achieving these goals by using seasoned professionals from the real business world to teach and locking certified teachers out. Bob Compton's new documentary "The 21st Century Solution" (www.2mminutes.com) details this.
