This Week – ISIS Recruiting Our Youth
Show 5-18 | Air Dates: Month 2 & 3, 2015
This week on I Spy Radio, we’re going behind the headlines to give you the real, personal, and deeply moving story of Christianne (“Chris”) Boudreau, a normal, everyday Canadian mom whose son left to join ISIS. She is now reaching out to other families to help them avoid similar tragedies.Don’t miss this tragic yet heartwarming story as a mom seeks out to prevent other families from having to go through this heartache. The response by the Canadian government will shock you. See links below to her organization — they have people overseas who can get kids out if they come to their senses and want to come home.
But first up we talk with Raymond Ibrahim, a Middle-East expert, about the very real threat of ISIS operating right here in the United States and why ISIS is targeting our youth. Born and raised in the U.S. by Coptic Egyptians, Raymond understands both Western and Eastern cultural mindsets and often works as a “translator” of one to the other. Raymond is an author (Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians and The Al Qaeda Reader), a widely published journalist (NYT, Fox News, The Blaze, CNN, Jerusalem Post, and many others), and a fellow at several think tanks, including the Hoover Institution and David Horowitz Freedom Center. Be sure to check out his awesome articles, below.

Rally ‘Round the Flag Event
When: Saturday, June 20, 2015, 10am – 4pm
Where: Fairgrounds, Cottage Grove, Oregon
Cost: Free!
Here in Oregon, we have a strong heritage of using our natural resources wisely. But well-intended yet weak-minded “environmentalists” believe they are “protecting” the environment by not touching it–or allowing anyone else to harvest them. Worse, our lands are being controlled by people out east who’ve never set foot on them and have no idea about how to manage them; people who’ve been persuaded by the well-funded environmental lobby that we should never touch these lands.
Oregon Citizen’s Lobby invites you to join them for a fantastic day of speakers, networking, and fun! And a chance to learn more about the effort to transfer control of the federal lands to the people who know best how to manage them: Oregonians.
The event will feature prominent leaders in this effort, booths, networking opportunities, and a panel discussion to answer your questions.
Featured Guests:
- Rep. Ken Ivory (UT) of the American Lands Council
- Noah Wall, FreedomWorks Grassroots Director
- Jeff Kropf, Oregon Capital Watch
- Mark Anderson, host of I Spy Radio
- David Hunnicutt, Oregonians in Action
- Dennis Linthicum, former Klamath County Commissioner
