Transforming Crisis into Transnational Technocracies

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

As economic protests rage around the world, protestors don’t seem to notice their complaints are being ignored as new paradigm changes under way driven by the same elites that got them into their problems in the first place.

The new forms of government are transnational socialist technocracies where we will be ruled by hoards of faceless, unelected bureaucrats in all areas of life. New rights are promised and old rights are being allowed to die. Two guests joins us today to discuss this.

First John Fonte from the Hudson Institute (www.hudson.org) is author of the book, “Sovereignty or Submission: Will Americans Rule Themselves or be Rule by Others?”

Then Carl Teichrib (www.forcingchange.org) rejoins to explain the emerging technocracy in Europe and what this means for that continent and the United States.

John’s extended boralogue reflects on the attitudes of the first Pilgrims and how their attitudes can get us through the turbulent changes of this decade.

Gun walking, the Middle East and Health Privacy

This Sunday marks the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Please remember your brothers and sisters in chains in prayer and deed.

John’s extended boralogue starts the show with a third week examining the process by which post modernist thinking cripples Americans in grappling with the hard issues confronting the country. This is accomplished by tying together a series of different current events and explaining the common post modernist thread among them.

Attorney General Eric Holder testified this week before congress on the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal. But it seems like he’s trying to spin accountability away from the BATF, an agency that has caused a series of fiascos in the last two decades resulting in the deaths of innocent people without really holding anyone accountable. Maureen Martin from the Heartland Institute (www.heartland.org) is concerned the only reason congressmen are currently involved is to make political hay rather than deal with abuses that need to be corrected.

Saber rattling in the Middle East once again as the region steadily grinds toward armed conflict. This week an IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) report indicated that Iran is on the verge of producing nuclear weapons and a missile delivery system for them. Another flurry of concern before things return to the non-action status quo or is it clear an inevitable conflict approaches if the nuclear program continues? Richard Perle was Assistant Secretary of Defense during the Reagan administration and he joins the show for a segment.

It seems medical privacy is disappearing, the promises of a number of presidents notwithstanding. Dr. Lee Vliet from the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org) joins us.

The Vatican’s Middle East Flip Flop

When Pope Benedict XVI gave a speech five years ago revolving around the differences between Islam and Christianity, it caused serious reactions within the Islamic world, resulting in the deaths of several Christians. Now the Vatican seems to be falling all over itself to appease Islam, while down playing the deteriorating situation for Christians in the Islamic world as well as acts of terrorism against Jews.

Journalist Giulio Meotti is author of the book, “A New Shoah, the Untold Story of Israel’s Victims of Terrorism.” He returns to the show from his home in Florence, Italy.

The European bailout comedy reached Emmy award winning levels this week as Germany and France agreed to bail out Greece, only to have Greece thumb its nose at them. It’s clear this will all end with a Greek default and possibly an exit from the European Union. But the game isn’t over. The next domino to fall will most likely be Italy.

Anna Grayson is the London correspondent for the Canada Free Press (www.canadafreepress.com) and she provides her observations on this week’s performance.

John’s boralogue provides real life examples demonstrating post modernist thought in politics and the ongoing double standards that are so prevalent.

No Firm Foundation in Post Modernism

Hi everyone. Please sign the petition to have Pakistani Christian mother Asia Bibi released from the death penalty after having been accused of blaspheming Islam. You can do this at www.callformercy.com.

Much current political thinking keys directly to the philosophy of post-modernism. John spends his boralogue examining this constantly changing, pitching deck of self-contradicting ideas upon which post-modernist ideas rest, demonstrating why they wind up being morally bankrupt.

Then we’ll extend this examination to the realm of hate speech, and dissect the stages of hate speech used to “get” groups that are politically incorrect.

Matt Philbin (www.mrc.org) from the Culture and Media Center joins the show to provide an example of the growing intolerance of Christian ideas in the United States, revolving around Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

The Middle East Arab spring continues deteriorating into a Christian winter as Muslim radicals persecute Christians. President Obama announced U.S. forces will be withdrawn from Iraq, but even though we supposedly brought “democracy” to that country, Juliana Taimoorazy from the Iraqi Christian Relief Council (www.iraqichristianrelief.org) says the tolerance for Christians in Iraq is deteriorating.

During the last part of the program, John spends time summing up the this week’s “exciting” events in Europe as the continent’s leaders dodged a bullet and avoided being sucked into an economic black hole…for now. We’ll also hear clips from the Financial Sense Newshour (www.financialsense.com) and Jim Puplava’s explanation of the Federal Reserve’s next move in inflating the currency.

Nothing Has Changed

All of the political and media hoo-hah in Europe and the United States disguises the fact nothing has changed in correcting our deteriorating economic condition. Europe is no closer to bailing out a Greek default and the United States is determined to plow into economic shipwreck while as we bicker over taxes for the rich. The path to ruin lies just ahead.

Today’s show provides an extended historical boralogue starting in 1933 and examining all the legislation that brought us to the economic mess in which we find ourselves, as well as a listing of the guilty parties involved.

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) from 1992 is being implemented with a vengeance in the United States and having serious negative impacts on the economy and property ownership. Next year the U.N. is planning UNCED+20. Laura Rambeau Lee (www.right-reason.com) joins us to see what effects implementation of this conference is having on life in the U.S.

Finally, Christian parents seem to be in the habit of setting their children in front of philosophical firing squads and leaving them unprepared for the philosophical onslaught that will strike them in education. Dr. Stephen Meyer, Ph.D., from the Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org) along with Focus on the Family (www.trueu.org) have produced a new DVD series designed to instruct teens on the worldview conflicts they will encounter in college.

The Middle East Christian Winter

Christianity is under siege throughout the Islamic world as the media’s much-touted Arab Spring brings overt persecution of Christians along with increased hostility towards Israel.

John’s boralogue outlines the current situation for Christians in the Middle East. Then Dexter van Zile from CAMERA (www.camera.org) details the willingness of many Christian organizations to attack Israel, while at the same time remaining silent about the growing desperation of Christians in the region.

In hour two, John’s mini-boralogue focuses on the coming civil war in the United States, where states will be pitted against each other on the economic battlefield.

Finally the world food shortage is under way and it affects third world countries first and worst. Anne Goddard is president of Child Fund International (www.childfund.org) and she has just returned from the horn of Africa, where a serious famine is underway.

The Breakup Between Conservatism and Evangelicals

Different beginning to the show today. We’ll spend the first three segments of the show in a “clipathon,” airing various audio clips in order to paint the contrast between our real economic condition and what some are saying in the media.

Then we’ll open a new ongoing thread to track points where Christianity and government worldviews are colliding in the public marketplace. Robert Muse from the Thomas More Law Center (www.thomasmore.org) joins us.

Finally, it seems the temporary marriage between conservatism and evangelicalism may be breaking up. Dr. Darryl Hart from Hillsdale College (www.oldlife.org) is author of /From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin: Evangelicals and the Betrayal of American Conservatism./
