Authoritarianism Happening Around the World – Will it Happen Here?

By Dr Mark | February 26, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment

Show Summary: We are witnessing global authoritarians resist the great push back. People are done with covid mandates, pushing back at never-made-sense masks and more. In Canada, the Freedom Convoy was met with Gestapo style tactics, exposing the lengths authoritarians will go to keep their power. Now Russia tramples Ukraine’s borders and sovereignty. Can this come here? What still protects us? What makes us different than places like Canada, which has it’s own Charter of Rights?

This week it’s all about the authoritarianism we are seeing on display in on other countries — Canadian police trampling citizens and freezing bank accounts of people who weren’t even at the freedom protests but merely supported them from afar; Russia trampling on Ukraine’s sovereignty, and even here in the U.S.

Could these happen here?

Possibly, but it will be much harder — thanks to, once again, the wisdom and foresight of our Founders. Top Constitutional attorney, Jonathan Emord, tells us why America really is that shining beacon of freedom.

Jonathan Emord has quickly become one of our top, most-frequent guests. Be sure to check out his previous appearances.

Authoritarianism: Two Must-Read Books

If you only have time to read two books this year, read these:

Jonathan Emord’s The Authoritarians: Their Assault on Individual Liberty, the Constitution, and Free Enterprise from the 19th Century to the Present. You will learn about Marxist/socialist/communist ideology and how took root in America in the mid 1800s and became the justification for slavery. Also, how it continued to spread and flourished until it has now sabotaged our Constitutional republic as designed.

And Disinformation by Lt. Gen. Ion Pacepa and Ron Rychlak. Ion Pacepa The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, and he was the head of the Soviet disinformation campaign.

Rediscovering America

This week it’s about rediscovering America. Scott Powell’s new book, Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are.

This show looks at how we got to America’s present condition (hint: Marxists) and a look at how we start to climb out of this (hint #2: we need to remember why America is worth fighting for). Scott Powell has been a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and is currently senior fellow at Discovery Institute.

We discuss how America has fallen — and how we do we get it back? Would the Founders recognize the chaos of today? After all, they fought off their own tyranny. Although that was the King, an ocean away; not right here in the halls of our own government.

David Horowitz: “Scott Powell has made a major contribution in the research and writing of Rediscovering America, providing substantive reason for hope and confidence in the midst of troubled times. It may be the first book written in the history genre that lays out the progressive and redemptive course that is America’s greatest legacy.”

Why has America Lost Its Way?

We also talk with him about how our rapid material success as a country was not equaled by a similar and equal rapid progress in spiritual or social progress. This is very much a spiritual war we are going through, not just one of laws and regulations and elections.

And why aren’t the checks and balances—so carefully crafted by our Founding Fathers—not working right now?

“This book was written to defeat the enemies of our republic by equipping readers from all walks of life to get connected to the character and accomplishments of their forebears and the arc of redemption that defines our history. Prior generations of Americans who shared a similar greatness of moral vision and believed in the beauty of freedom and equality sacrificed their all that this nation might be protected, guided, and healed. We are called to do no less.”

We also talk corruption and abuse of power rather than institutional or constitutional failure, are the chief causes of decline in America today, and what you can do to help fix this.

Be sure to tune in — it was such an interesting discussion that we plan to have him back around Easter.

cancel culture - just because a democrat says something, doesn't make January 6 an insurrection

Mislead, Dehumanize, Destroy | Cancel Culture & January 6

By Dr Mark | January 8, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: Cancel culture is the opposite of freedom. It is an organized attempt to create false images to mislead, dehumanize, and destroy your political opponent. And no better example of that President Trump, the target of the biggest cancel culture effort ever. We discuss cancel culture with someone who is a target of it and look deeper into what happened a year ago January 6th at the Capitol.

The I Spy Radio Show airs weekends, six different times, on seven different stations. Listen anywhere through the stations’ live streams! Check out when, where, and how to listen to the I Spy Radio Show. Podcast available Mondays after the show airs on out network of stations.

Original Air Dates: January 8th & 9th, 2022 | Guests: Rob Taylor & Scott McEwen

This week: Cancel Culture

Cancel culture is a fairly new weapon, most often employed by the political Left, to attack and destroy their opponents. In part, because their own political ideology doesn’t hold up under genuine scrutiny so the best attack is to destroy your opposition.

Cancel culture most often targets shows or public figures to get them removed from the public domain. Removed. Destroyed so only the Left’s viewpoints are allowed to be heard. They also target businesses who are themselves conservatives, or who dare to support or advertise on conservative shows.

God forbid there’s another viewpoint than the Left’s.

It is the opposite of freedom. Because rather than just changing the channel the Left wants to remove what they consider “wrong think”. Imagine being so threatened by people thinking. To the point you have to destroy people who don’t think like you.

A Cancel Culture Target: Rob Taylor

Fellow radio host, Rob Taylor, whose show airs on one of the stations that also airs I Spy Radio, has ticked off the Left to the point that they want him removed. You see, differing opinions are just not allowed. Which is an odd thing for Coos County Oregon, which is one of the more conservatives areas in the state.

cancel culture will eventually come for you if you have an opinion different than the political Left — Don’t disagree. Or cancel culture will come for you

Tune in to hear what set off the organized attempt to have Rob’s show, The Rob Taylor Report, removed from the air waves. And find out how he’s fighting back to cancel cancel culture.

What can you do to help fight cancel culture? Don’t wait. Show your support for the shows you enjoy. Contact the stations you listen to (internet search using their call letters, like, “KWRO”) and let them know you like the show. That way, when cancel culture comes calling, they already know that show has support.

The Biggest Cancel Culture Target of All: President Trump

It’s no secret that, to the Left, the mere mention of “President Trump” is like splashing holy water on a vampire. The Left has made every attempt to destroy and remove him from society.

We saw it even before he was President Trump. The Deep State worked in coordination to provide backup to Hillary Clinton’s false claim that Trump was “colluding with the Russians.” Thanks to John Brennan, the then-head of the CIA, we know this to be true. He was in the White House briefing James Comey, then-head of the FBI, President Obama, and Vice President Biden. They all knew it was a lie. But three days after that meeting, James Comey opened operation Crossfire Hurricane.

Why is this important? Because it shows the depth the Deep State and the political left will go to mislead, smear, dehumanize, and destroy their political opponents. Donald Trump stood in their way of bleeding taxpayers for billions even trillions of dollars.

Scott McEwen: January 6 was not an Insurrection

We welcome back fan favorite, bestselling author Scott McEwen, to discuss what happened a year ago on January 6 at the Capital. We talk about the obvious (which means democrats are ignoring it) reason it wasn’t an insurrection.

Remember: Just because a democrat calls it an insurrection, doesn’t make it one.

And that’s true for so much else about this cancel culture we’re in. Just because democrats say it, doesn’t make it so. It’s not build back better, it’s funding for democrats. Donald Trump and his supporters aren’t “anti-American”, terrorists, or white supremacists, or any of a thousand other names and insults. The vaccines aren’t safe and effective. And 2020 wasn’t a secure election.

In fact, judging from January 6, a good rule of thumb is that if a democrat says it, the opposite is likely true.

It’s Christmas time. And that always makes us think about the Christmas story. So this week, we’re focusing on the importance of stories and storytelling. And, how this could lead to a happily ever after for Oregon.

Jim Huggins holds two doctorates, is an ordained pastor, has a master’s degree in engineering—and before that was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Now, he is the CEO, Producer, and Director of a successful film company, New Shepherd Films (www.newshepherdfilms.com). Could all that experience be just what Oregon needs?

Or we could just go on with reruns: keep electing the same people to office and somehow expect different results.

Restore the Constitution: Eliminate the Administrative State

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: The Constitution is supposed to guarantee our rights. But over the centuries since our founding, socialists have steadily eroded our rights and the influence of the Constitution. In fact, for much of American government, the Constitution doesn’t apply. This week, we examine the “administrative state” where normal constitutional principles (or even law) don’t apply. We also look at how we fix it—and hold people accountable.

Original Air Dates: November 20th & 21st, 2021 | Guests: Jonathan Emord

This week: We have a dual justice system and one where the Constitution doesn’t apply: the administrative state. It is a true return to authoritarianism — the rule of the king — where the government literally holds all power and you, the citizen, have no power. Except whatever the government deems to allow you. No Constitution. No rights.

Welcome back to the 1750s.

The Administrative State

The Authoritarians by Jonathan Emord — Order The Authoritarians on Amazon

As one of America’s top constitution lawyers for the last 35 years, Jonathan Emord has seen, up close and personally, the purposeful destruction of America’s founding principles of liberty and freedom from government. The Constitution outlines the boundaries of the government. But the authoritarians have been undermining it for well over two centuries.

Be sure to catch Jonathan Emord’s previous appearances on I Spy Radio: The Authoritarians Part One and Part Two.

Our previous shows with Jonathan focused on the rise of socialism in America. Including the Southern democrats’ use of socialism/Marxist ideology to defend slavery. And we looked at the beginnings of the administrative state under FDR.

This week, we dig a little deeper into the administrative state, which is the “Bizzaro World” version of our Constitutional Republic. And how do we untangle it? The answer may be simpler than you think.

Which rule of law wins? The administrative state? Or the Constitution? Because right now, we’re seeing this play out with the covid-19 vaccine mandates and passports.

And we look at justice. Holding people accountable. Could Durham’s investigation go a lot higher than just the low-hanging fruit and middle-men Durham has so far indicted?

One of America’s top constitutional lawyers thinks so. Tune in to find out why.

Defending Faith is Defending Freedom

By Dr Mark | November 6, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: Elections all across the nations showed a rejection of Leftist ideology. Have Christians and Conservatives had enough of attacks on their faith — in God and in their country?

Weekends, six different times, on seven different stations. Listen anywhere through the stations’ live streams! Check out when, where, and how to listen to the I Spy Radio Show. Podcast available Mondays after the show airs on out network of stations.

Original Air Dates: November 6th & 7th, 2021 | Guests: Donna Jackson & James Hirsen

This week: defending faith is defending freedom. And on Tuesday, we saw a lot of both as parents rose up to push back on being called “domestic terrorists” by their own government. Especially for exercising their rights of free speech to stand up to school boards determined to shove Marxist ideology and Critical Race Theory garbage on their kids.

As we’ve said for some time now, you won’t see a renewal in America until we see a revival in the Church.

Marxist/Socialist Attacks on Faith

Marxism and all its forms (socialism, communism, etc.) is the enemy of faith. That’s not opinion, that’s fact. Marx famously called religion the drug of the people. That’s because the two cannot coexist. Marxism and socialism will not share space with and cannot tolerate faith in anything other than government.

Donna Jackson from Project 21 joins us as we look at a SCOTUS case where coach Joseph Kennedy was fired for kneeling alone for a moment of prayer after football games and the chilling effect this could have on public officials. But is it time to go on the offense? Clearly, sitting back, staying on the sidelines, and letting things happen has not worked because the professional agitators (paid for with your tax dollars no less), have seized control of the ball. And won’t give up.

With both our guests, we also look at the stunning wins Tuesday night at all levels — and by many who expressed their faith and defense of America and her values, defeating progressives at every level of government. Are we seeing a revival in the face of Leftists trying to reform America?

Wait. Faith in Hollywood?

We’re also joined by James Hirsen, author of the bestselling Tales from the Left Coast. James weighs in on the remarkable rejection of the Left’s ideology in Tuesday’s elections. Some results were practically miraculous. Including on in Buffalo, NY, which we hadn’t heard about.

But is there, perhaps, even in revival happening in Hollywood?

More actors open up about their faith, sharing about God’s role in their lives. But this has its dangers too. As many actors, in mostly-Godless Hollywood have found out.

Have Faith. In God, in America

What do you think? Are we seeing a revival across America? A revival of faith and a revival of pro-America? And what do we need to do to keep this rolling?

Defending Freedom while Leftists Sabotage It - Evidence Points to Obama. Did Republicans Sell Out?

Defending Freedom while Leftists Sabotage it | Evidence Leads to Obama?

By Dr Mark | May 4, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: The first duty of government is to protect people. That’s why defending police and law enforcement is so important. But a new book, The Obama Gang, points to an Obama sabotage — a coordinated effort to undermine police in America. Here in Oregon, the right to defend yourself is always under attack. Did Republicans sell out? Literally?

URGENT: Be sure to contact the Oregon House Committee on Rules members and urge them to bring HJR18 to the floor. HJR 18 would end the governor’s emergency orders. See list of emails below.

Original Air Dates: May 1st & 2nd, 2021 | Steve Pomper & Rob Taylor

This Week: How many times have you watched that scary movie where somebody hears a noise, and as the stairs creak, they head downstairs in the dark while you scream at them, “Are you crazy?! Turn on the light!” Or think, “There’s no way I’d do that without a gun!”

That pretty much sums up how Oregon’s legislature, and many blue states, are treating its citizens. Because asking citizens to keep guns locked up, or not allowing law enforcement to do its job, feels like you’re living unprotected in that creaking and dark house.

With the good guys maybe not arriving in time.

Defend yourself? Good luck with that

On this week’s show, we take a look at how a society breaks down, and tyranny becomes the rule of law. The stressors our police face become not only worrisome but dangerous as they drop their shields and find another way of life. It’s happening right now in real time with hundreds of cops fleeing the large cities they were trying to protect — only to be denied the tools, or political support, they needed to get the job done.

And at a time when police are hamstrung, in Oregon politicians are making it harder for people to protect themselves in the absence of law enforcement. New, tyrannical gun laws have been passed force law-abiding citizens to lock guns up all in name of “making you safer.” Hint: locking up guns makes criminals safer.

The Obama Gang: New Book Points to Obama Sabotage

First up, we talk with retired Seattle police officer and author of five books, Steve Pomper. Mr. Pomper is author of the recently released, The Obama Gang.

We discuss his work as an officer and why he chose to leave the Seattle police. And what he feels will happen as police forces continue to shrink in size and authority.

You’ll also hear how Barack Obama (through his post-presidency foundation), assembled, launched, and wages the new assault on American law enforcement. If it sounds like sabotage, it’s because it is.

In Oregon, we lock up our businesses. And our guns.

Then Oregon’s own, Rob Taylor, joins us talking about what has happened to our 2^nd Amendment rights during this year’s Oregon’s legislature, and why. First, we find out the devastating affects Governor Kate’s lock down orders have already had on small towns. And what will the new round of lock downs have? And just where are the leaders who should be defending their citizens?

Did Oregon Republicans Sell Out on Gun Rights?

A new bill, SB554, passed that requires ALL guns to be locked up. The bill makes criminals of everyday Oregonians who want their guns at the ready should an actual criminal decide their house looks ripe for the plucking. Guess who in that scenario does not have their gun locked up?

While Republicans (and Democrats) have successfully used walking out in the past to deny quorum over important bills, for some reason, the Republicans stayed and allowed SB554 to pass. They didn’t vote for it, but they didn’t stop it. What gives?

Could it be that Oregon Republican legislators were “bought off”…? Oregon voters may not be too happy to hear what happened and why. And one Senator in particular may bear the brunt of it.

Take Action! End the Covid “Emergency”

As mentioned during the show, a joint resolution, HJR18, is a simple sentence that reads, “Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: Pursuant to ORS 401.204, the state of emergency declared by the Governor in Executive Order 20-03 on March 8, 2020, relating to the COVID-19 outbreak in Oregon, is terminated.” Short. Simple. To the point.

HJR 18 is currently in the House Committee on Rules. We urge you to copy and past the email addresses below, and ask they bring it to the floor. Be polite and respectful. But be strong. it can be as simple as “Please support HJR 18 and bring it to the floor.” It’s time to end the endless emergency orders.

Rep.barbarasmithwarner@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.ChristineDrazan@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.PaulHolvey@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.DanielBonham@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.JulieFahey@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.AndreaSalinas@oregonlegislature.gov; Rep.JackZika@oregonlegislature.gov;

Air Dates: Mar 27 & 28, 2021 | Scott McEwen

This Week: How do we put a value on achieving life’s goals? Do we assess an achievement by personal satisfaction? By how we’ve helped others? Or does the value of achieving a life’s goal go deeper? What if the cost is you won’t give up, no matter what?

For a select few, this is their life. When all seems lost, nothing is working out, and nobody seems to be there to help when you need it most, and you feel physically and mentally broken, you don’t give up. That’s a life goal and struggle that is achieved by America’s best and, for the most part, we’ll never hear about. Navy SEALs who push beyond anything else no matter what they face, they refuse to give up until their mission is completed.

Hell Week and Beyond

But to get to that level, they have to go through Hell. Hell Week. The specialized training that the best of the best must find a way to push through.

Scott McEwen’s new book is Hell Week and Beyond: The Making of a Navy SEAL. We interview him to find out what Navy SEALs go through but also the lessons we can learn on how to survive our own personal hell weeks. You’ll hear about the types of tests and rotations these incredible superheroes-in-the-making need to pass in order to stay with the program—and who instructs them along the way. And you’ll hear what can wash a SEAL out of the program and what won’t, and why the one thing that they all have in common keeps them there when others give up

Tune in to get insights into how those values can become a part of everybody’s life. Because in America today with the Far Left’s effort to change America into something that is unrecognizable to most people, we also can’t give up – no matter what.

Black History Month - Voices from Black Conservatives

Show Summary: It’s Black History Month! What better way to celebrate than with voices that get overlooked: Black conservatives. It’s all about diversity and individuality, right? Although, why is it democrats seem to shun Blacks who choose to be individuals and think for themselves? Don’t they love all Blacks? Or just the ones that fit their preconceived notion of Blacks? Wait a second. Isn’t that racist? Yes. Yes, it is.

For a party that claims they embrace the Black community, why is it democrats seem to hate Blacks who choose to be individuals and think for themselves? Don’t they love all Blacks? Or just the ones that fit their preconceived notion of Blacks? Wait a second. Isn’t that racist?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Black History Month

Originally, we scheduled Nadra Enzi and Melanie Collette to talk about Black History Month. We came across through Project 21, a program of the National Center for Public Policy. But what they had to say was so interesting, we only spent a one segment on Black History Month.

In fact, look for both Nadra Enzi and Melanie Collette to come back on to I Spy Radio in the near future.

Nadra Enzi

Project 21, a leading voice of conservative black men and women for over 25 years. They are focused on smaller government and indivisible rights and stand together to offset the far-left’s assault on the economic gains they made during the Trump years, not only for minorities but all Americans.

We welcome first-time guest, Nadra Enzi, a self-described “American Cougar” and advocate for residents who are “clawing back” against challenges to create an environment of safety against crime. Nadra talks to us about the challenges faced by black conservatives and gives us his insights to the many Blacks who are conservative but why they stay quiet. And the incredible pressure applied to them by those who don’t want them to have a voice.

Nadra, who works tirelessly against crime, also gives us an inspirational look at the hope they’re building in the black community.

Melanie Collette

Then we welcome another first-time guest, Melanie Collette, who is the host of “Money Talk with Melanie” and a guest host of Patriot Tonight on SiriusXM. Melanie is also working on her PhD in business administration and management at Northcentral University.

In addition, Melanie has worked in education for many years and she takes us into the current abyss of the educational system and the pressures on a black woman to conform to democrat ideology within that system. Ideologies that she sees as abusive to her but, equally important, the policies and ideologies are abusive to her students. Little wonder that she is currently writing a book series, “The Angry Educator.”

If you think that challenges can’t be overcome, tune in to find some very inspirational surprises.

Show Summary: A look at what’s happening in California, assaults on liberty, national security hot spots coming up, and the intrusion of Big Tech (including right into what you thought was a harmless email) as Big Tech makes itself the vanguard of Big Government. Plus a new gun grab tactic right here in Oregon’s Petri Dish.

Original Air Dates: Feb 6th & 7th, 2021 | Scott McEwen & Rob Taylor

This Week: Many of us groan, especially those who live in blue states, when the legislative session is upon us. With Oregon in the lead for making everything obnoxious by following the mantras for “citizen safety”: keeping your distance, suffocating under hot and uncomfortable face coverings, or locking our children out of enjoying sports and social events. We don’t have to look very hard to figure out why blue state governors are taking some heat.

But not to worry. Who needs fiscal responsibility when the money cavalry is on its way in the $2 trillion Covid Blue State Bailout.

Gruesome Newsome

Could it be that liberal California might actually kick their idiot, er, governor to the curb? As of this writing, over 1.4 million Californians signed the recall petitions. And, surprisingly, Silicon Valley CEO’s joined the rebellion. They sent big donations to the recall effort.

Gasp!

Could it be that blue state governors, and state and federal legislators, are beginning to find out that a free people won’t be tied to their draconian orders? We can hope!

Scott McEwen

Scott McEwen, a former Oregonian who has lived in California for many years. He talks to us about what has happened in California, Newsome’s overreach, and those candidates who are already lining up to run for governor when the recall completes its goal.

Scott also discusses the cancel culture and what is happening with censorship and why. And of course we can’t let Scott go without getting his take on international security issues, such as China and Korea — and what a Biden administration may do to Middle East peace. Did you know there was a coup in Myanmar? Yep. Myanmar (aka Burma) just had a coup over, of all things, voter fraud.

Rob Taylor

Next up we welcome back Rob Taylor, who himself has been impacted by an attempt to cancel and censor. Rob says how his e-mail account with MailChimp was permanently suspended for a Patriot Prayer link he had in one e-mail. No warning. Just cancelled.

Then, to add to the censorship, suddenly far-left radicals in Coos County started calling the station where his radio show airs. They demanded he be cancelled. And they started trying to boycott his advertisers.

Far-left radicals who want only their voices heard but no others. Is that really what they think of as “freedom of speech”?

Rob also catches us up on 2^nd Amendments issues here in Oregon, including current legislature bills. And a brand new anti-gun tactic the Left is trying out in our Oregon Petri Dish.

EXCELLENT article. 5 steps to survive the Marxist Purge (WND, Jan 11, 2021)
- From here on, under their new relentlessly repeated revisionist narrative, Trump will be the American Hitler and every Deplorable a white supremacist. In their minds, and to the Blue Pill Public, this will justify their every action against conservative speech, thought, symbol, organization and person.
- Step 1 is to document everything. And this is especially true because we know the Left wants to purge history and especially of America’s history and founding.
