Happy Canada Day (later in the week) for all our Canadian listeners.

We're starting our summer series of perspective shows rather than chasing down news. This is a fancy way of saying we're taking time off.

A chic movement in the 1970s and 1980s the New Age had its origins in the writings of occultist Alice A. Bailey. Now come into its own, it's merging with politics in a potent force for controlling the activities of religions worldwide.

The UN-sponsored Alliance of Civilizations aims to control religious activity within member states, particularly what religious schools teach. Long-time associate, attorney and author Constance Cumbey (cumbey.blogspot.com) returns to trace the various proposals for controlling religions and eliminating those that don't match the new belief standards.

John's boralogue chronicles the ongoing international silent stampede to exit the dollar currency door along with strange rumors.

The world has been watching the election protests in Iran, but little coverage shows how the Christian community is faring in that country. So how do the elections affect them? Carl Moeller from Open Doors (www.opendoorsusa.org) joins us.

No matter how you slice and dice all the new proposals for rescuing the economy or the planet, everything always seems to boil down to a new tax. Peter Sepp from the National Taxpayers Union (www.ntu.org) reveals how cap and trade tax would heavily affect the economy with little result in reducing greenhouse gases.

Listeners are asking what a collapse of the dollar or a new currency would mean to them. Jim Puplava (www.financialsense.com) joins us for a couple minutes to explain.

John's extended boralogue analyzes the combined timing between phase two of the crisis window (2009-2012), the onrushing energy storm and the ultimate train wreck all of our new policies are going to cause. Wild ride. Keep your seat belts on.

The dialectical collective method of thought youth learn today creates minds full of dialectical collective oatmeal. If a change is to occur, someone has to begin untangling the mush and teaching people how to think logically. That's where philosophy professor John Coleman (www.johnecoleman.org) comes in.

We frequently hear that Judaism and Christianity are as violent as Islam. But do the scriptural or historical facts bear that out? Raymond Ibrahim from the Middle East Forum (www.meforum.org) joins the program to examine the empty claims of revisionist historians.

John's boralogue compares a series of recent shootings with a similar shooting that happened 100 years ago in Denver to show why frivolous use of "hate" and "racist" are ruining our ability to discuss real issues confronting a nation in crisis.

Summertime and our programming shifts towards perspective interviews.

The economic cry of late has been that capitalism is bankrupt and socialism is the solution. But wait a minute! Socialism always collapses when it doesn't have a vibrant capitalism to support it. There's a difference between having problems and being defunct. Dr. Jay Richards (www.discovery.org) is author of "The Myths of Capitalism."

Then Tom DeWeese from the American Policy Center (www.americanpolicy.org) returns for a conversation on the significance of the government's takeover of GM and its increasing top-down management of a sick economy.

John's boralogue moves fast covering interesting news stories that came down during the last week.
