Show Summary: In our ongoing series to expose socialism, we continue our look at socialism’s ties to Islam, especially radical Islam. We look at Hitler’s ties to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood. We also dig into what’s happening right now in the United Kingdom and France when former cultural jihadist, Kamal Saleem, revisits areas in the U.K. that he’d been sent to back in the 1970s.

Original Air Dates: March 16 & 17, 2019 | Kamal Saleem
On this week’s show we continue our talk with Kamal Saleem to discuss socialism’s ties with and similarities to radical Islam. Kamal is a former cultural jihadist who had been commissioned by a Saudi prince to go to America and destroy it from within.He has since converted to Christianity and it is now his life’s mission to wake up the Church and America to the dangers of radical Islam. His mission now is to see “Ishmael redeemed.”
But prior to being sent to the U.S., Kamal had first been sent to the United Kingdom in the 1970s. He recently had an opportunity to visit those areas where he had set up jihadist cells. Tune in to hear what he saw and the fruits of his labors.
We also talk with him about the surprising foundation of the Muslim Brotherhood, which got its founding money from a surprising source.
Also: Don’t miss Kamal’s discussion about why Muslims are invading Europe, and the surprising answer to getting them to stop.

Oregon Democrats appear to think that if you earn money, it’s really not your money. It belongs to the state. You can tell because Oregon Democrats—who have super-majorities in Oregon’s house and senate plus the governorship—have billions in new taxes they want to unleash. Billions to extract from the 3.3 million Oregonians.
The Short List of Oregon Democrats New Taxes
Doubling the gas tax. Tripling taxes on beer and cigarettes. Fees (i.e. taxes) on restaurants. Vending machines. First in the nation carbon tax — plus a California-style cap-and-trade. (Hello $5 per gallon gasoline.) Fees (taxes) on bed and breakfasts. Spa visits. Fees (taxes) on tourism. Fees on small business. Middle business. Big business. Mining permit fee increases. Fees on timber lands. Fees on public utilities. Fees on home heating oil. Fees on
And if that isn’t enough, Oregon Democrats even want to remove property tax exemptions for non-profits and churches.
Yes, even God doesn’t pay enough in taxes.
At this rate, pretty soon, the State and Oregon Democrats will want to tax money you didn’t earn.
Oregon Democrats 2019 Tax Plans
We talk this week to Jonathan Williams, the Vice President for the Center for State Fiscal Reform at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC.org) to get some insight into what all these taxes the Oregon Democrats have planned will do to the state’s economy.
Some of what we talk about includes Oregon’s cap-and-trade scheme, the fees, and the endless taxes.
Don’t worry. There’s hope. But you’ll have to listen.
Getting around pesky Supreme Court rulings: Democrat introduces bill to use taxpayer money to fund unions directly. Press Release from Freedom Foundation
California Lurches For A Carbon Tax After Consecutive Greenhouse Gas Auction Failures (Forbes, Mar 2, 2017)
“Like BC’s, the carbon tax examined for Oregon would be (largely) revenue neutral: one scenario applied 70% of the tax revenues to cut corporate taxes, 20% to cut personal income taxes, and 10% to reinvest in industrial energy efficiency programs. The other scenario apportioned 50% of the revenues to cut corporate taxes, 25% to cut personal income taxes, and 25% for industrial and residential energy efficiency and transportation infrastructure.”
Show Summary: The wild stock market ride continues. Is The Fed playing politics? Or is this covert financial warfare happening all over again? Plus new A.I. innovations may make things worse with the rise of 5G. Is Terminator Day coming? Plus, the war for the technology the future will be built on.

This Week: If there’s one thing in life that’s consistent, it’s that government is consistently wrong.
In the late 1700s, you had Thomas Malthus predicting overpopulation, which would exceed the means of agricultural production and lead to starvation. They were wrong. Because Malthus—a preacher and mathematician and not a farmer—didn’t take into account advances in farming technology. Or advances in science and improved understanding of plant biology. And yet Malthus’s opinion has dominated Western government thinking for two centuries.
And yet the Left wholeheartedly believes it. The Left believes in depopulation, and to solve it some 6 billion humans just need to go away.
And there’s the Industrial Revolution. Once again, government “experts” believed people were going to be put out of work as machines did what people used to do. More people went to work than ever before. And at higher wages than ever before. Which meant they had more money to spend, which meant more businesses could open. And on and on and on.
These are just two examples of why government is so often wrong about so many things. It’s why they’re slow to react to advances in technology because—like Malthus who was no farmer—government bureaucrats are making decisions and recommendations about things they don’t fully understand. It’s why the market, which makes millions of buying and selling decisions every day is more efficient than any government bureaucrat could ever be.
This is precisely why socialism always fails. Markets are always better than bureaucrats.
Government and the Market
But that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be some sort of control. Because a market running amok can cause damage within any market, there are potentially some bad actors who will, can, and do exploit things to their own advantage.
But what about The Fed? They’ve been raising interest rates since Trump got elected. Is this politics? Are they trying to sabotage Trump? You’ll have to tune in to hear what’s really going on.
Artificial Intelligence: New Tool in Covert Financial Warfare?
Take, for example, a relatively new phenomenon, computerized, algorithm-controlled stock trades. Basically, computer programs that watch the market to buy or sell based on a set of criteria. But here’s the thing. They can make millions of trades in seconds, before you can even refresh the Dow Jones web page.
And they don’t care whether the market goes up or down. Because if their predictive program guesses correctly, they can make money whether the market goes up or down.
Think George Soros—who made billions by betting against the Bank of England and that the British Pound would go down. Now think George Soros with a super computer. See the potential problem?
While these “trader bots” have a lot of potential, they also represent the potential for tremendous problems. And the potential for problems are only going to get worse due to the rise of new technologies that will make things even faster and more connected than ever before.
5G Dangers? Not Quite what you think…
The potential for good or ill includes 5G technology that will have your head spinning. Your cell phone used to have 3G technology, which essentially used to have dialup speeds. But then they went to 4G, which meant your cell phone could handle video downloads. 5G? It’s 100 times faster than 4G.
And it will be everywhere. Toasters connected to cell phones? Yes. It’s being called the Internet of Things.
China’s War for 5G
So why is China so interested in this new technology? Why are they pushing to dominate the world with their version of 5G? And what dan
Because who controls that new technology will control the new future that is coming. And right now there is a war between China and the U.S. for the future.
Tune in to hear the dangers, and potential, for what is happening in the market and where this is headed.

This Week: As is the case in many situations the NFL taking a knee is really only showing us the tip of the iceberg. Filled with a large population of black players who are being paid millions, we’re witnessing a culture and community that is blowing itself up. Ratings are drastically falling as Commissioner Goodell is attempting to walk a very thin line between players and fans who are angry over players disrespecting our flag. Over disrespecting our nation.
I Spy Radio is pleased to welcome back former NFL star and Super Bowl Champion, Burgess Owens. He is also the author of Liberalism: Or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies, and Wimps.
Through Burgess’ understanding of who has hijacked the Black community many decades ago, this week on I Spy Radio we will look into the players and what they’ve been taught that is finally coming out in a very public way. But it doesn’t just stop at the players. We walk through a whole culture that has lost its way as those who want to destroy our beliefs and love of country make their move through these young players. And Colin Kaepernick, a troubled person, is the example that demonstrates how and why this is happening.

Addressing Achievement Gaps: Positioning Young Black Boys for Educational Success (ETS, Fall 2011)
“Average Black male achievement falls far below that of White and Asian boys. Only 12 percent of Black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared to 38 percent of White boys. Only 12 percent of Black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared to 44 percent of White boys. By fourth grade, Black students may be three full years behind their peers.”
Show Summary: This is it. The final countdown. And if there’s one issue that sums up this entire race for the presidency, if there’s one issue that truly defines the difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump it is Obamacare. It is a choice between Obamacare slavery or the freedom of repeal and replace. Tune in to find out why Obamacare is not—and never has been—just about health care.

It all comes down to this. Will America choose Obamacare slavery? Or freedom through repeal and replace?
Single-payer, universal health care. It’s been Hillary’s dream for decades and now she is on the verge of fulfilling her dream to make America slaves again. Because Obamacare is not just about health insurance. That’s just how you pay for health care. The reality of Obamacare is how it gives the government permission to control nearly every aspect of your life. Because when you give the government control over your health, it’s an open door.
This belief of total government control stands in stark contrast to Trump’s wish of repealing and replacing. It’s about freedom vs. Hillary’s all-intrusive “health care.”
Obamacare Slavery
Exactly how would that affect us? We talk with Lisa Lettenmaier, who clues us in how Oregonians are already feeling the intrusion of big government. For those who are in CCOs (Coordinated Care Organizations) here in Oregon, in-home inspections are occurring where medical staff go to the home to make suggestions on “lifestyle changes.”
This is the crux of what we’re facing: what happens if there is a single payer system combined with an all-too-powerful government? It is the proverbial “slippery slope.” In just a few years, we could literally be opening the door to government intrusions as voluntary assessments become mandatory. And government bureaucrats will be making decisions for you. Think about that. What if they determine you’re mentally unfit because you’re an “intolerant Christian” and find guns in your home? What if they determine you shouldn’t be parenting because of your faith’s “biases”? If the expansion of government is bad now what can happen if Obamacare becomes a single payer system under a Hillary presidency?
Our guest, Lisa Lettenmaier, truly opens the door to expose what is going on in the health care world, and gives us insights into why insurance costs are escalating and what we can be looking at if Obamacare expands even further. So many promises of savings and better care have never materialized. This week we take a look at Obamacare and, in the last of our series of shows to compare Hillary and Trump, we compare their two very different health care plans.
If you or someone you know is still on the fence, this week’s show will push them over. Don’t miss it!

Show Summary: Every true American patriot knows that we are always one generation away from losing our freedoms. But Obama’s and the Left’s continuous attacks on America are working. We stand at the threshold of losing America altogether. Is there a “hidden hand” behind all this? Join us this weekend to hear how Leftist policies like open borders is putting America at risk— including the massive security hole this presents, home-grown terrorists, and attacks on our culture.
Original Air Dates: June 18 & 19, 2016 | Curtis Bowers & Jeff Schwilk
As the presidential elections continue, tensions are brewing within our political leadership circles that shed light on their intense desire to hold onto power. Power that doesn’t translate to keeping American’s safe. American leadership seem to feel that other cultures are more valuable than our own. That uttering the words “radical Islamic terrorists” is unfair to say, as Islamic terrorists focus on destroying America by exploiting our current immigration policies.
These same American leaders point to Europe, as the path of finding our values, as we, on the American shores watch Europe be swallowed up by mass groups of refugees who believe Sharia Law outweighs their host countries’ own laws. Once again, America is the problem. Our Constitutionally guaranteed laws are the problem.
This week we examine from two different vantage points how America is under attack and the breakdown of our American leadership on keeping us safe. The first comes from Curtis Bowers, with a new film Agenda 2: Masters of Deceit.
His first film Agenda: Grinding Down America focused on the history of how communism has gotten into every level of government. With his new film, he looks at the current situations and the places they have infiltrated — including evangelical churches. Curtis will be touring Oregon from June 20th thru the 25th showing his film with a Q & A afterwards. We’ll have showings times and places on I Spy’s webpage.
Our next guest is Jeff Schwilk, a San Diego-based border security expert who served over 20 years in the US Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant and senior intelligence chief. He helped plan the 1st Marine Division’s assault on Baghdad and oversaw the generation of hundreds of intelligence reports pertinent to the Iraq War and the War on Terror.
Now retired, Jeff has founded San Diegans for Secure Borders Coalition, and on our show walks us through the flood that is occurring on our southern borders. We discuss the massive security hole this presents, home-grown terrorists, and attacks on our culture. Listen to find out the real conditions for those living close to our southern border as our American leadership turns a willfully blind eye.

Show Summary: Two months ago, we did a show on the Obama administration launching an unprecedented attack on free speech. Obama’s Attorney General was exploring the possibility of using the FBI to go after climate change “deniers.” At the time, many people couldn’t believe it. It would never happen. But after our show, we were contacted by Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise. He said, yes, this is happening and our company was one of the organizations that have already received a subpoena. This weekend, we’ll talk with him and Dr. Tim Ball, a private citizen, who has also sued because he didn’t believe in Global Warming. But wait until you hear the real motives behind Obama’s attack on free speech.

Original Air Dates: June 11 & 12, 2016 | Dr. Tim Ball & Myron Ebell
When Obama used the IRS to attack the Tea Party, people on both sides of the aisle were appalled. Naturally, Obama denied any responsibility. He would never condone such an attack on free speech.
Funny, then, how his administration is now using the FBI to attack free speech. That’s right. They’re using the power and crushing weight of the government to go after climate-change “deniers.” What is this? The 1400s Spanish Inquisition?
The Attack on Free Speech
Back in April we did a show titled Climate Hustle: The Rise of the Deniers (show #6-17, archived on our webpage) where we discussed how the Obama’s administration hated dissent. To the point that Obama’s Attorney General asked the FBI to consider using RICO laws to prosecute scientists and corporations who are “deniers” of global warming. When this story broke people were saying, “This can’t be happening!” In fact, we were contacted by one of the organizations that was being sued to assure it was, in fact, happening. Subpoenas had already been issued to global warming skeptic scientists, non-profit organizations, and companies like ExxonMobil.
We start with Dr. Tim Ball, who received Canada’s first Ph.D. in Climatology. He is a frequent guest of ours and sets the stage of the pressures being exerted on climate skeptics and why. He discusses whether countries like Canada even have free speech anymore and how he himself has sued for his opinions because he is a skeptic of global warming. Keep in mind, Dr. Ball is merely a retired professor, not the head of some multi-million lobbying firm. He is just an individual who is telling people where his scientific research has led him. And for that he is being sued to shut him down from speaking out against climate change.
Then we welcome Myron Ebell, a former Oregonian from the Baker City area, who is the Director of Center for Energy and Environment of the Competitive Enterprise Institution a libertarian think-tank here in the United States. They are one of the organizations that has been targeted by the Obama Administration and a group of Attorney Generals for daring not to believe in global warming.
Tune in to find out the real motives behind this new attack on free speech. And don’t miss the Oregon connection and who helped coordinate this attack.

I Spy Radio continues to do what the Republicans ought to be doing: focusing on the Democrats. Especially their lurch toward outright Socialism. With either winner, the Democrats will have a socialist as their nominee. It will either be Bernie Sanders, who is an avowed socialist, or Hillary Clinton, an Undeclared Socialist.
With socialism being around as long as it has, there’s still the myth in every generation who thinks, “But this time it will work!” Even though it has had resounding failures wherever it’s been tried. Folks like Bernie and Hillary points to countries like Sweden or Finland as examples of “success.”
What they fail to mention is that Sweden or Finland are only becoming more successful because they purposely moved away from socialism to adopt more elements of capitalism.
Think of it like a balance or teeter totter; whenever you give government all the rights, and therefore your decisions, you’re taking the rights and decisions away from the individual. The reverse, freedom, is also true. By giving affirming the rights of the individual, it takes power away from the government. So, the notion that you can somehow give away all of your rights and control over to government while still retaining personal freedom is a logical inconsistency.
The myth of socialism still hangs on
So to prove our point of why it can’t work, we go back to Canada and talk with Dr. Tim Ball and find out the realities of living in a socialistic country. Listen as Dr. Ball talks about his personal experiences living in socialized Canada, including the loss of freedoms, opening a new business in a socialist country, and living in the so-called “ideal” (socialized) health care system.
What you’ll learn is this: If Canada is Bernie’s and Hillary’s “utopia,” they can keep it.
Socialism’s seductive spell has tripped up many “smart people” including Einstein. Usually right up until reality sets in. Eating the rich only makes everyone poorer.

Despite the repeated, historic (dare we say “epic”) failures of socialism, every generation since the 1800s seems to flirt with this proven failure. Every generation seems to think, “This time we’ll make it work.”
Socialism: willingly giving up your liberty and freedom for government-provided security. Jail: unwillingly giving up your liberty and freedom for government-provided security.
This week on I Spy Radio, we talk with Dr. Tim Ball, who knows all about socialism. He grew up in World War II England, witnessed the takeover of society by the government to “fight the war” only to have England embrace the “security” offered by socialists. In other words, basic subsistence in exchange for government domination and takeover of private industry. As a young man, witnessing the demise of his fellow countrymen’s freedoms, he left for Canada. Unfortunately, elements of socialism followed him to his new country.
Exposing Socialism
This week, we get an exposé on socialism from someone who’s lived through it and even taught classes on it. With Bernie Sanders rising in the polls, it’s time to get a little intelligence on socialism. This week, we’ll look at the rise and development of socialism and, yes, the Nazis were socialists. Modern-day Leftists try to depict Nazis s extreme Far Right, “ultra conservative” or even the end-game of capitalism. “Nazi” meant “National Socialists.”
But why does the notion of state-imposed fairness, continue to appeal to us as a developed society?
Here in Oregon, where I Spy broadcasts from, the House just passed the nation’s highest minimum wage to create “fair” wages. Remember, from our show two weeks ago, under socialism it’s the State that determines not only what’s moral but what is “fair.” But if you think that’s scary, check out the links below on “basic income” and “universal income.”
And be sure to join us next week where we’ll get Dr. Ball’s personal experiences of living with socialism, including Canada’s socialized medicine and even martial law.

Here we are, not even three decades from the end of the Cold War, and America has an avowed socialist running for office. And not just any office — the highest office in the land.
Great. America’s socialized education system has officially failed.
But what is socialism? Discerning and intelligent voters realize socialism is bad, but what is it and why is socialism so bad? Not just that, but why is socialism especially bad for America? Why does socialism fail every time it has been tried? And if socialism always fails every time without fail, why do the so-called “smart people in the room” (the socialist elites) keep trying to push America into socialism?
Join us this week to find out what socialism is, its history and origins, why it fails, and why —yes, Virginia—it will fail again.
Socialism Defined
In his fantastic article, “Socialism means Coercion” Dr. Richard Rahn of the CATO Institute defines socialism this way: “Socialism is a system in which the government owns or controls the means of production, and allocates resources and rewards.”
But it’s more than that. It is a system rooted in envy and jealousy; it is only adopted as a political system when ignorance reins supreme. It depends on the stupidity of the masses who would trade their freedom for slavery to the state. It depends on the ignorance of voters to pass a system that, they believe, will only take from others. Socialism is the policy of envy.
Join host Mark Anderson, as he walks you through socialism defined. You’ll learn:
What socialism means
Its origins as a response to America’s highly successful experiment with representational republicanism and as a response to the vast wealth created by the Industrial Revolution
Its origins in anti-Christianity philosophy and German pagan romanticism
Why capitalism and the free market system are so vastly superior to socialism
Are there differences between socialism, communism, and fascism
And then stick around for the last half of the show with Dr. Richard Rahn of the CATO institute as the two of them expand on socialism’s massive historical failure
