This Week – Socialism: The Prosperity Parasite 

When you think about it, socialism is a parasite that only survives because it lives off the blood of capitalism. Socialism does not create wealth, it creates ruin. It has tried and failed in many countries, leaving destruction in its wake. But those pushing it here in America and especially in Oregon, are only able to promote it because those pushing it are funded by the profits (and taxes) generated from capitalism.

Oregon has been seeing socialism’s effects for decades. But this election, it could all change.

By the way. We used to call Oregon the Petri Dish of Leftist politics. Now it’s the Wuhan Lab of Leftist politics.

Senator Dennis Linthicum on Socialism in Oregon

We welcome back Senator, Dennis Linthicum (SD-28, Klamath Falls) to talk about socialism and its effects in Oregon. As a state senator in Oregon, he sees the policies pushed by the democrats, many of whom are socialists or wannabes. They just haven’t come out of the closet yet. But once Oregon is full socialist, they’ll drop the mask.

Be sure to get Dennis’s newsletter. It’s easy! Just send an email to dennis@electdennis.com to sign up

During the interview, we focus on four broad policy issues: society (education, crime, attacks on the family, etc.); economics (we’re living it under Biden); environment (spotted owl, the Klamath area has been under assault for decades, timber); and healthcare. On health care, Oregon just got a billion dollars to experiment with Medicaid, expanding it to virtually everything because, you guessed it, global warming.

And, Measure 111, is on the ballot this year. It would make universal health care permanent in Oregon by making it a constitutional right.

Remember. Environmental laws are how they control businesses. Healthcare is how they control people.

That’s how they seized such broad control during covid.

Don’t miss this in-depth examination of socialism and it’s impact on Oregon. We have this year to stop it. And, for once, things are looking good.

Be sure to check out the Featured Reading section in the links section for five great articles describing socialism.

12-41 It’s Not Just Politicians. It’s the Real Issues on the Ballot

Show Summary: Elections. Although politicians might get all the attention, it’s never just politicians on the ballot. It’s the issues on the ballot. Sometimes, like Oregon, there are direct ballot initiatives (like Measure 114, what the NRA calls the most dangerous gun law in America). But it’s the issues beyond just that politician that are up for vote. The economy. Crime. Education. Our rights. It’s the direction those politicians want to take us.  That’s what you have to focus on. We’ve seen where Democrats want to go. This week’s show looks at what’s at stake.

This Week – Issues on the Ballot

We welcome back Marc Thielman, former candidate for governor, who is doing it right. Too many politicians disappear when they don’t win. Instead, Marc has stepped up his game, focusing on the real issues on the ballot.

Because its the issues that matter. Not just the politicians. It’s what they will fight for. And what they will ignore.

We’ve seen the direction the democrats running for office want to take us. More taxes. More spending. More crime. Lower standards for education.

Join us as we talk about two key issues Marc is focused on. One is the real school choice initiative, an issue that will directly be on the 2024 ballot. This will give all parents a real choice in their child’s education. It won’t just be the rich that have a choice where to send their kids to get a good education. And Oregon’s public schools will either have to improve, or lose out.

Not surprising, democrats are not happy with the prospect your kids will get a quality education.

Marc is also focused on election integrity, restoring trust in our elections. His group is Battleground Oregon. Tune in to hear what they are finding and doing.

Other issues on the ballot, directly on the ballot in this case, is gun control. The NRA calls Ballot Initiative 114 “the most dangerous gun control bill in the nation.” Visit Stop114.com to find out more.

Alek Skarlartos – The Real Issues on the Ballot

We welcome back Alek Skarlatos who is running for CD4 in Oregon. If he wins, it will flip that seat from a Far Left democrat. His opponent is an even further Far Left democrat who hopes to take the seat even farther to the left.

Is that really what the voters of Oregon’s 4th Congressional District want? More taxes? More economic misery? We’ve seen where the democrats and Joe Biden want to take us. Off the rails. Don’t go with them.

Alek joins us to talk about what he’s hearing from his constituents around CD4. They’re concerned about the economy, first and foremost. And he talks about his opponent’s record. Which includes voting for tax increases on families making just $31,000 per year.

Note to Oregonians in the 4th: If you’re worried about the economy. Val Hoyle’s voting record should scare you to death.

12-40 It’s Stupid Politicians | When Economics Meets Politics

Show Summary: It’s the intersection of economics and politics this week. And what happens when economics meets politics…? Pretty much the same thing when you give a loaded gun to a toddle and tie yourself to a chair. Jonathan Williams from the American Legislative Exchange Council discusses what is so wrong with this economy. (It’s the politicians.) And don’t miss Joe Rae Perkins who is trying to get one of those stupid politicians out.

This Week – When Economics meets Politics

Imagine people who have no understanding of economics (stupid politicians) making decisions about the economy based on the advice of their donors, bureaucrats with agendas, and paid lobbyists.

It’s like being tied to a chair, watching a toddler play with a loaded pistol.

This week, we welcome back Jonathan Williams, who is the Executive Vice President of Policy and Chief Economist at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Jonathan has a terrific article on the Daily Caller (), in which he neatly walks through what’s wrong with the economy right now and then provides some easy solutions. If only the current White House resident would listen. To someone other than his donors, bureaucrats with agendas, and paid lobbyists.

Go read Jonathan’s terrific article on The Daily Caller

Special bonus. Long-time I Spy Radio listeners may remember our previous shows about “market transformation.” In essence, “market transformation is a shortcut around a market. “Market transformation” allows favored, politically aligned companies to receive grants and other funding to bypass normal market barriers to entry, such as start-up costs and marketing. This is what we are seeing right now with our economy. You can see it especially with green energy. It’s not green and it’s barely energy. But it does make democrats and their political allies and ideology a lot of money.

Vote Out the Stupid

When economics meets politics, there’s just one solution. Vote the stupid out.

Because the problem with the intersection of economics and politics is that it puts the stupid people in charge. Stupid people, like Ron Wyden. Who has been in Washington DC since the 1990s. Ron is so stupid, he has an ad running right now that says no government should have control over a woman’s body. Really Ron? What about the vaccine mandates you were pushing  just months ago.

He also has an ad complaining about forest fires. Thanks for noticing, Ron, now that it’s election time. But it’s been your policies that causes them to burn. Do nothing. Blame Global Warming when all that dry kindling catches fire. Demand taxpayer dollars for Global Warming and green energy. (There’s that market transformation.) Still to nothing. Rinse and repeat.

Send some money Jo Rae’s way at perkins.vote. She needs help getting her ads on radio and TV. $50 would buy an ad play on many radio stations; in some markets as many as five airings

Jo Rae is up against the money that pours into democrat politicians who promise to do those market transformations. And those donors are terrified they will lose their golden goose if Ron goes the way of the dodo.

Let’s make stupid extinct.

Bonus: if elected, Jo Rae promises not to vote for Mitch McConnell.

12-39 It’s the Elections, Stupid | The Front Lines of Freedom are in Oregon

Show Summary: This week, we’re focusing on the front lines of freedom. And right now, our freedoms come down to the elections. We speak with a businessman running for Congress to get government out of the way, and a scientist who attended the Washington County trial in which the State and county are attempting to hide public records from the public. And you won’t believe what the judge did to the expert witness.

Original Air Dates: September 24th & 25th, 2022 | Guest: Mike Erickson & Chuck Wiese 

This Week – It’s the Elections, Stupid

Bill Clinton famously had a sign on the Oval office wall, “It’s the economy, stupid.” It served as a daily reminder that the economy is what matters most to most people. Well, who is in charge of that economy comes down to elections.

In Oregon, the far-left policies keep us entrenched in high taxes, rising housing costs, and dubious curricula in public schools to cripple the next generation, and elections that don’t bring answers to the problems. It all feels hopeless. and many have left the state going to redder pastures to find the answers in states that make sense. Lower taxes, less big government, lower public debt, or maybe none at all if you’re in South Dakota. Meanwhile, Oregon’s lawmakers look to ruin our electric grid by pulling out dams, then force electric cars on its citizens whether we like it or not. Thus dies the free market.

Mike Erickson, Candidate for Oregon’s New CD 6

Speaking of that sign in the Oval office, we’ve gone from “It’s the economy, stupid,” to “It’s a stupid economy.” Here’s a hint to voters in Oregon’s new CD 6. If you want to fix the economy, don’t elect someone who has no business experience. Oregon, and the nation, needs elected officials who have practical business experience — not someone who has spent their entire life in government. (Hint number two: Biden has no practical business experience and look how that’s worked out.)

If you want to support Mike Erickson, find out what you can do at MikeEricksonforCongress.org. (Start by sharing that with your family and friends!)

Remember the strategy we mentioned months ago: If you live in a safe district (in Oregon, that’s CD 2) or in a hopeless district (CDs 1 and 3), put your time and money and energy to promote and support candidates in districts where they have a chance to flip a seat. That’s CDs 4 (Alek Skarlatos), 5 (Lorie DeRemer), and 6 — Mike Erickson.

Mike is running against Andrea Salinas, a far-left democrat who spent her entire adult life in and around government. On her website, she says she grew up in a hard-working family where nothing was handed to them but they made it through hard work. And, like Mike, she also had a cop for a father. So why is Mike fighting for police and she’s voting to defund the police? And how did she go from “working hard” and pulling oneself up through hard work to a career fighting for government handouts paid for by other people?

So Much for Open and Honest Elections

Here’s a funny thing.

In Oregon, the Secretary of State’s job is to audit other state agencies. But for some reason, she has declared that the elections division is off limits. Why is that? Instead, she has joined a lawsuit against a voter to declare a Washington County database should be shielded from public view and scrutiny.

Imagine trying that if the IRS wanted to audit your business. No, you can’t see the numbers. Trust us. Everything’s fine. You’d be saying that from jail. But the State is refusing to hand over a database, calling it proprietary information of a private company handling Washington County’s elections.

And why is a private company handling our elections to begin with?

We talk with Chuck Wiese — a scientist, analyst, and meteorologist, who has stepped up and joined the front lines of freedom — who was there at both days of the Sippel case trial. You won’t believe what the judge did to an actual, world renowned data scientist. Well, it’s Oregon. Maybe you will.

If the judge decides against the Sippel case, it will only continue to fuel the fire and doubts about the 2020 election. The only way to put out that fire is to open up the data to prove there wasn’t any manipulation. But hiding it and then expecting people to trust the government…?

Regardless of whether or not you think the 2020 election, when it comes to elections, any election, the Golden Rule should be “Open the books.” Hiding the results behind a wall of secrecy is, well, just stupid.

Our Many Healthcare Crises, Part 2 | The Root Cause of Many of Them

Our Many Healthcare Crises, Part 2 | The Root Cause of Many of Them

Show Summary: When Obamacare was passed (rammed through without a single Republican vote), it was supposed to fix health care and lower costs. All those savings, remember? What happened? But there are more problems and more spending than ever. This week, we continue our talk with healthcare-system expert, Lisa Lettenmaier, but zero in on the two root causes of many of, if not all of, our many healthcare crises.

Original Air Dates: August 6th & 7th, 2022 | Guest: Lisa Lettenmaier

This Week – Our Many Healthcare Crises

We continue our deep dive into the problems plaguing our health care system—the many healthcare crises and the ever-growing expense. How is it that we are spending more than ever — by far! — on healthcare and yet it’s just one crisis after another? 

But this week, we zero in on the two main problems. And they should be no surprise, really, for anyone who has followed I Spy Radio’s many shows on healthcare or for anyone who has a lick of common sense. The two root causes are money and government. Particularly, government interference.

Healthcare crises in the UK: "My cousin had to deliver his child because the ambulance said they’d take 4 and a half hours to come for his wife. What is the UK coming to? He had to watch a YouTube tutorial on how to deliver a baby."
Healthcare crises in the UK. THIS is what they want to emulate?

We bring back our healthcare system expert, Lisa Lettenmaier. Lisa is currently an insurance agent and owns Health Source NW. But her background is in accounting, overseeing budgets and forecasting for major companies. So when she looks at the healthcare crises, she is viewing it not just from an insurance standpoint but from a systemic-analyst’s viewpoint.

Need healthcare and not sure where to turn? Give Lisa a call. Her website is www.HealthSourceNW.com.  She helps individuals and businesses throughout Oregon and SW Washington make sure they have the right coverage for when, God forbid, they really need it. Will your policy cover what you think it does? 

The Root Cause of So Many Healthcare Crises

This week, you’ll also hear an extended opener from I Spy Radio host, Mark Anderson, on the government’s interference — sabotage, really — of the normal free-market forces that would normally lower cost and improve care. Mark walks you through what a free market system would look like. Hint: we don’t have one now (remember Obama et al. when they were pushing Obamacare:  “the free market failed”?), not in health care. And he walks you through the government interfering with the free market, much of which can be traced back to a 1943 IRS ruling.

If you didn’t already think “they” are destroying things on purpose, you’ll believe it after this show. No one, no government, makes this many “mistakes” on purpose.

Guest Post: Chuck Wiese Primer for Dr. Frank’s Executive Club Presentation

Guest Post: Chuck Wiese Primer for Dr. Frank’s Executive Club Presentation

The following primer for Dr. Frank’s Executive Club presentation is via Chuck Wiese, a scientist frequent I Spy Radio guest.

Dr. Frank’s Executive Club presentation can be viewed at this link on Rumble.com. (YouTube has already banned it and threatened the videographer if he tries to post it again.)

Dr. Frank’s Executive Club Presentation Primer

1. Frank’s data proves there is machine tabulator manipulation of the votes during an election.

2. The analysis follows the laws of nature and probability as determiners. If you roll a set of dice 100 times and get a set of numbers from rolling that you can exactly predict before rolling those dice, this tells you the dice are fake because, by probability, that is impossible. It is the same reasoning through probability that winning the lottery by getting exactly 6 numbers on any singular random participant is very difficult and takes millions of participants before you finally get a winner.

3. Frank’s data shows, that the election tabulator machines have pre-programmed numbers inserted in them that draw from census population data by age that are eligible to vote in any particular county that are paired with registered voters. Oregon’s dirty registration rolls that are not cleaned up are also used as a comparison to active registered voters. The difference between census, dirty rolls and total registered voters gives the machines a “pad” they can draw from to create phantom votes if desired for the vote tabulations. Keep in mind that the total registered voters are NOT the actual number of votes that are cast in any election because that number never reaches 100%. In any election, data shows participation is typically between 60-75% turnout in elections that interest the public and under 50% in many other elections.

4. NOW, what Doug Franks is able to show is that in Oregon, in very county in this state, by plotting the polynomial curve that the data exactly represents, he can predict with data from just one county, what the “computed” number of voles will be in every age group across the spectrum in all the other counties. It is typically found to be near 86% . When his does this, he gets a correlation coefficient of anywhere from 99.2 to 99.9% which means he can predict the outcome of all the votes cast by age in every county.

5. The point in all of this is that it is mathematically impossible without a direct manipulation algorithm of some sort that is in the vote tabulator machines. By probability and the laws of nature, if the votes cast by all eligible to vote that participated were a random event as they should be with no manipulations, you would not be able to come anywhere close to having this sort of accuracy or this sort of a correlation coefficient to the data. It proves there is massive fraud being done.

CONCLUSION: Whoever is doing this is taking away our First Amendment rights to free expression of voting for the candidates to run either our local governments or federal offices and pre-selecting the winners the establishment wants. This is the worst offense against our Constitution you could ever do in a free society.

Only remedy is to stop vote by mail which invites the same fraud which is actually paired with the machines to guide the tabulators in redistributing votes and was observed in all the swing states in the 2020 election.

Votes must be cast by showing up at your precinct, showing proof of your ID, then casting your ballot at the precinct in a voting booth and returning it immediately at the precinct to avoid any chain of custody issues.

When Government Gets it Wrong, It Turns Abusive

When Government Gets it Wrong, It Turns Abusive

Show Summary: This week, it’s all about abusive Big Government. Getting around it through ballot initiatives—the fight to get Real School Choice on the ballot in spite of Big Government that doesn’t want to give up its power. Plus the incredibly ugly and un-American targeting of political opposition for destruction. The new documentary, The Truth about January 6th by one of those political prisoners just came out—the silencing of Free Speech that would make the most zealous communist proud.

It’s not a Conspiracy: The Government Hates You

When’s the last time you felt you could fully trust government?

And knowing what we know now about government, the abuse of power for political reasons (and the accompanying financial reasons — using government to send billions to their political allies), we can  never fully trust government again until there is a serious come-to-Jesus reckoning.

This week, we talk about two abuses of government: getting around an abusive government that wants to prevent parents from getting a better education for their kids. And an abusive government that seeks to silence any and all dissent.

King George III would be proud.

Real School Choice Ballot Initiative: Round 2

Marc Thielman is leading the charge to get Real School Choice on the ballot in Oregon. Last time, the secretary of state used some mental hurdles to claim it was dealing with two constitutional issues and denied the initiative.

So they split it in two.

Before we talk about the initiatives, Marc looks back at the primary and his run for the republican nomination for Oregon’s governor—and the betrayal of a fellow candidate.

And then we look at the two initiatives, how they differ, and how they will impact kids and parents if they pass. And, of course, we look at how an abusive government will fight to keep control. Yes, that’s right. The government thinks it knows better how to raise your kids and what they need than you do.

Help Real School Choice get past the first hurdle! Sign the initiatives. Head to EducationFreedomforOregon.com

The Ultimate Example of Abusive Government: Political Prisoners

The prisoners taken into custody after the January 6th protests are living proof of what happens when people are presumed guilty and are locked away into oblivion.

We welcome back NY Times bestselling author and attorney, Scott McEwen, to talk about the incredible abuse. By our own government against fellow Americans.

We literally treated al Qaeda terrorists better than the democrats are treating American citizens. Solitary confinement. Months of it. Physically assaulted. And then denied medical treatment. Even denied medication. Denied access to religious leaders. And even denied access to their own lawyers.

The Documentary: The Truth about January 6th

Jake Lang went to the US Capitol Building January 6th to protest an election. Protest. The exact same thing the Left had done the entire summer and fall of 2020. The exact same thing the Left did the day Donald Trump was inaugurated.

Watch The Truth about January 6th documentary narrated by Jake Lang, one of the political prisoners

On January 6th, the day of the “insurrection” four U.S. citizens were killed. At the brutal hands of capitol police who beat defenseless Americans while they were on the ground.

Where’s the outrage?

There isn’t any. Because they disagreed politically with those who stole the election. And in communist countries (which is how the political Left sees themselves—communist revolutionaries), you’re not allowed to speak against the opposition.

Remember: These aren’t people who were there to overthrow the government. They were there to defend the Constitution. And what they saw as the abuse of government to steal an election. This wasn’t an “insurrection.” This was an attempt to stop the political theft of the country.

We talk with Scott about the legal side of things. But also the reality of dealing with an abusive government. And what needs to be done. By those on the inside.

This Week – It’s the Government, Stupid

“It’s the economy, stupid.” 

That was the sign Bill Clinton had in the Oval Office. It was a reminder that what really mattered to people was a strong, growing economy, With jobs and opportunities, lower prices and a chance to live the American dream.

Now, with Biden residing in the office, it’s more like “It’s the government stupid.” Because instead of focusing on growing the economy, it’s all about growing government. At all cost. 

But as with all government-run economies, we are quickly lurching toward a crash when the big government types will have a reckoning. Government-dominated economies never work.

You are living in the transition stages of a switch from capitalism to socialism. High food prices. High energy prices. Exploding inflation. High crime. And effort to remove guns from law-abiding citizens. This is what the entry to socialism looks like. And to see how it ends up, look at Venezuela.

Jonathan Williams: Troubling Economic Indicators

It’s always a pleasure to have our friend, Jonathan Williams, back on the show. Jonathan is  the Chief Economist and Executive Vice President for Policy at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

This week, we walk through the attempted coup of our economy, troubling economic indicators that warn of impending slowdown and potential stagflation. These aren’t some distant economic indicators. These are deeply worrying economic indicators here and now. Like in the housing market.

Be sure to check out the American Legislative Exchange Council and their yearly publication, Rich States, Poor States.

And we talk about some of ALEC’s other programs. Like their  Education Task Force. Which has helped other states enact school choice. Can Oregon get it on the ballot? And get a win? (We’ll have Marc Thielman on next week to discuss the latest ballot initiative for school choice.)

And we talk with him about Oregon’s Republican candidate for governor, Christine Drazan, and what she ought to be focusing on in her economic platform.

Primary or a Planned Election? | The Algorithms Oregon Fears

Show Summary: For an election that Oregon swears was fair and honest, there are a lot of questions. And not just this election but previous ones as well. Don Power joins us again to pick up where we had to leave off last week.  This week, he describes what he personally saw happen in the elections quagmire that is Clackamas County. Then we interview Dr. Douglas Frank, who discovered the algorithms used to steal the 2020 election. Could this be why Oregon is fighting SO hard to keep a database from the public? Could it be that simple?

This Week – Algorithms and Unvoting

This week, we are continuing to look at election integrity issues, an “over flow” from last week with Don Powers who covers this week what he ran out of time for last week: the continuing fiasco of Clackamas County elections and personally witnessing the “unvoting” of candidates by elections officials. 

Then we interview Dr Douglas Frank who discovered the algorithm they used to manipulate the election. As if that wasn’t important enough, we find out just why this is crucial to the lawsuit in Washington County that we discussed last week. This could blow everything wide open. And it would certainly explain why the County and State are fighting SO hard to keep that database out of the public’s hands.

This Week – Oregon’s Primary and the Suspicions the Followed

After a much-needed break last week, we’re back at it this week, taking a hard look at two examples right here in Oregon that should make everyone question the integrity of our elections. First up, Washington County, which is suing a voter for asking for public data. Because of course elections that are above board and honest, naturally sue voters to stop the release of public data.

Then its the mess in Clackamas County that has even democrats questioning what is going on with tens of thousands of spoiled ballots.

Stephen Joncus: the FOIA Lawsuit Against a Voter, Tim Sipple

When you’ve got nothing to hide, because the election was honest and above board, what’s a county got to do to prove it? Why, sue a voter who asked for public database.

As absurd as it sounds, and as counterproductive as it is to developing trust in our elections systems, that’s exactly what Washington County is doing. Suing a voter. For asking for a database. And not even the database, the actual 2020 election database. No, this is a test database.

Keep in mind, a database is a list of numbers and text. That’s it. Why would you keep a database, a test database, secret? And so secret that you’re willing to sue a voter. And not just sue them but threaten them with forcing them to pay your legal expenses. Oh. And the State of Oregon decided to join in. And also threaten them with their legal expenses too.

See how all these suspicions just keep growing?

Does Oregon really think this is the way to gain trust in its elections? Because it doesn’t take a genius to know their actions are the opposite of trust.

Don Powers: Suspicious Spoiled Ballots in Clackamas County

As if Washington County aren’t enough suspicions, we’ve got spoiled ballots in Clackamas.

A printer they had used for over 10 years is being blamed for a printing error that caused a white line to run through some of the ballots’ security barcode. Hence, the spoiled ballots.

Odd that it happened just after the printer had been bought by an out-of-state buyer. There may be nothing there, but the timing does get one’s suspicions up.

But why is it that the printer’s scanner works fine but the county’s does not? And why is it that the county initially misled the public about the extent of it. It went from “Oh, it’s just a few” to “There are tens of thousands of spoiled ballots” over a few days.

And why did the county decide to have county county workers fill in new ballots? Why not simply count the ballots by hand and manually mark them as counted?

And why did observers of the count witness county workers changing votes?

So many suspicions. So many questions about these spoiled ballots. We talk with Don Powers, co-chair of the ORP’s election integrity committee, to try to get some answers. We’ll have Don back next week to continue the discussion because there were even some more issues that we just ran of time.
