Happy Halloween?



How does Harry Potter affect children? Here it is, in their own words from an
article entitled "The Dark Side of Halloween":

"I want to go to wizard school and learn magic. I'd like to learn to use a wand to cast spells." (Dylan, age 10)

"If I could go to wizard school, I might be able to do spells and potions and fly a broomstick." (Myra, age 12)

"It would be great to be a wizard because you could control situations and things like teachers." (Jeffrey, age 11)

"I'd like to go to wizard school and learn magic and put spells on people. I'd make up an ugly spell and then it's pay-back time." (Catherine, age 9)

"I feel like I'm inside Harry's world. If I went to wizard school I'd study everything: spells, counterspells, and defense against the dark arts." (Carolyn, age 10)

"I liked it when the bad guys killed the unicorn and Voldemort drank its blood." (July, age 13)

Stop and think: what will these children do when invited to visit an occult website, or even a local coven?


View Counterpart Video: "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged Making Evil Look Innocent"

With Halloween just around the corner, and our show tomorrow on "Modern Day Witchcraft - Going Mainstream" this is a good video to watch, parents, in case you are wondering whether the books are harmless or not.

Does the Harry Potter series' presentation of Witchcraft make it any more acceptable just because it is packaged as "children's fantasy literature"?

Witch turns to Jesus - Lives to Write About It



The queen of the occult as Anne Rice has been called is no longer a witch, why?
After suffering illness and surgery, she's "writing her most daring book yet." Read Newsweek's frontcover story HERE.

HOT OFF THE SHOW! Teen Witches?

Silver Ravenwolf's book, "Teen Witch", is the real deal. It contains material on Wicca to "give anyone a good start to understanding the craft", designed specifically for teens, providing "a long list of follow-up material for anyone who feels that witchcraft might be the path he or she wants to follow."

One reviewer said of the book, "Come on, you know you'd look glamorous and powerful in black...that lighting candles and calling spirits would give you an aura of mystery...that life would be better if only you could turn your history teacher into a jiggling mound of orange (or maybe lime) Jell-O..."

Thanks for "Buffy the Vampire" and "Charmed" is it any wonder an increasing number teens are not just dabbling in witchcraft but joining WICCA. Our show on October 28th will talk about this.

Text of Miers's Letter to President Bush



The White HouseOctober 27, 2005

Dear Mr. President:

I write to withdraw as a nominee to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. I have been greatly honored and humbled by the confidence that you have shown in me and have appreciated immensely your support and the support of many others. However, I am concerned that the confirmation process presents a burden for the White House and our staff that is not in the best interest of the country.

As you know, members of the Senate have indicated their intention to seek documents about my service in the White House in order to judge whether to support me. I have been informed repeatedly that in lieu of records, I would be expected to testify about my service in the White House to demonstrate my experience and judicial philosophy. While I believe that my lengthy career provides sufficient evidence for consideration of my nomination, I am convinced the efforts to obtain Executive Branch materials and information will continue.

As I stated in my acceptance remarks in the Oval Office, the strength and independence of our three branches of government are critical to the continued success of this great Nation. Repeatedly in the course of the process of confirmation for nominees for other positions, I have steadfastly maintained that the independence of the executive Branch be preserved and its confidential documents and information not be released to further a confirmation process. I feel compelled to adhere to this position, especially related to my own nomination. Protection of the prerogatives of the Executive Branch and continued pursuit of my confirmation are in tension. I have decided that seeking my confirmation should yield.

I share your commitment to appointing judges with a conservative judicial philosophy, and I look forward to continuing to support your efforts to provide the American people judges who will interpret the law, not make it. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have served your Administration and this country.

Most respectfully,
Harriet Ellan Miers

HOT OFF THE SHOW! The United Nations - 60 Years of What?"



It's a good question to ask: What has the United Nations accomplished in its 60 years, which it celebrates this month? Well, it all depends on the meaningn of the world "accomplish." Internationalists, globalists, socialists, liberals would say the UN has accomplished alot...towards the development of one-world, saving the environment, etc. Conservatives would say differently...that it's aim is to take over the educational system via UNESCO.

Paul Harvey described UNESCO's undermining of partriotism in one of his broadcasts saying, "Through UNESCO - American schoolchildren are being influenced away from their national allegiance. American schoolchildren are being indoctrinated with world government..."

Today's show on the UN - 101 and our last WOMANTalk show with Julie Quist on "World Citizenship - Plans in the Making" both given great detail on what Paul Harvey described above. And it's no conspiracy theory. Just check out the facts HERE.

Al Franken 'Scooter & Rove would be Executed'



In case you missed it here's the portion of script from David Letterman's show where liberal pundit Al Franken says Lewis ‘Scooter' Libby & Karl Rove will be executed:

David Letterman, “The feeling was that this report made the administration’s decision to go to war look bad-”

Al Franken: “Right."

Letterman: “It is treason, yes.”

“And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed.”

Franken qualified his statement when he said: “Yeah. And I don’t know how I feel about it because I’m basically against the death penalty, but they are going to be executed it looks like.”

HOT OFF THE SHOW! More on Minutemen



"Remember who the original Minutemen were? In the decades leading up to the American Revolution, young men from various New England localities were selected out of the regular militia to serve in what today could be called special forces units, dedicated to protecting family, community and colony. Their constant state of rediness at 'a minute's notice' earned them the title, 'Minutemen,' a term now synonymous with patriots willing to fight for freedom."

This is taken from the Minuteman Project website, the movement that is having a huge impact on getting Congress to take border security seriously, by sending Minutemen (regular American citizens) who are concerned about our border condition, to our southern border to watch and report illegals trying to cross. We played segments of a speech by it's founder, Chris Simcox, on the show today.

Most think the majority of illegals coming across the border are Mexicans. But as Chris Simcox pointed out a great percentage of illegals are OTMs (other than Mexicans). As a matter of fact over 100,000 OTM illegals have been apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol. There is an estimated 10.3 million illegal immigrants in the United States. According to the Pew Hispanic Center here is where they came from:

5.8 million: Mexico
2.5 million: Other Latin American countries
927,000: Asia
618,000: Europe, Canada
412,000: Africa

And according to the CovExec.com report, ICE has released about 1 million illegal aliens into the country. Out of that about 465,000 never showed up for their court hearings and about 85,000 have criminal records.

What more needs to be said?

Of 'Penguins', Polls and Bibles - God Out or In?



WorldNetDaily reported on Sunday that the director of "March of the Penguins" is verbalizing his upset over Christians and others who are suggesting the film proves 'intelligent design'. He says he is 'at home' with evolution.

However, today WND reported on a new CBS poll that indicates the majority of Americans believe human beings were created by God.

Then there's the story of Edinburgh University in Scotland which will begin
banning Bibles. President of the student association, Ruth Cameron, an
advocate of removing the Bibles said, "The student association strongly
believes in the importance of ensuring that students of all faiths feel at
home in their university accommodation," and that this is not an attack on
Christianity but about "respecting diversity." The proposal will be voted on
by the student association and then approved or not by the university.
Interesting to note: this is not the first 'removal' from Edinburgh
University. Last year the school removed prayer from its graduation
ceremonies.

What do you think? Are we in a world-wide cultural war?

Professor says to Exterminate "White People"



A visiting professor at North Carolina State University says the problems many blacks face would be solved by the extermination of "white people off the face of the planet...because white people want to kill us." Read full story on WorldNetDaily.

The organizer of the "Pro-Black Media Forum" where the professor spoke denounced the remarks.

Now, we know this professor doesn't speak for all black Americans...but it does give pause to think, why isn't the mainstream media all over this story?

Pre-Teen Girls and Porn

Sharon Secor reports in her article for Morality in Media A Culture Adrift: What Revealing Reveals, "We’ve seen the ever-increasing influence of so-called “adult industries” drift into the youth scene, first affecting college culture, then moving firmly into teen culture. Now, thanks, in part, to the international marketing magic of “age compression,” adult sexual culture is settling itself into the realm of little girls throughout the world."

She also records Jenna Jameson's response (known for her work in the pornographic film industry) “was stunned while on tour promoting her best-selling memoir, when 13-year-old girls were coming to her to tell her she was their role model.”

The British Sunday Times also reported that Pre-teen girls are putting pictures of porn stars on their personal web pages with links to porn websites.


And evidently, a survey of 1000 girls conducted by a British mobile telephone accessible entertainment site, showed 25% of the 15-19 year-old respondents “thought being a lap dancer would be a good profession,” as reported by the Manchester Evening News on June 6, 2005. The report also noted that a mere “3% picked the teaching profession.”

Where are these girls' moms?

History in the Making - Saddem Hussein Trial



You probably read of Saddem's arrogant performance on the first day of his trial. We are watching history in the making. Years from now our grandchildren will be watching documentaries about this era of war on terror, and there will be some reputable representations of the accounts.

I'm a history buff and every now and then I like to look up what happened on a day. For instance on this day in 1797 the USS Constitution which was built to fight Barbary pirates, was launched in Boston Harbor. In 1805 a peace treaty with Tripoli was signed on the USS Constitution's deck, also known as "Old Ironshides."

Also in 1879 Thomas Edison invented a incandescent electric lamp.

On this day in 1957 Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock opened.

And in 1967 100,000 people marched on Washington DC protesting the Vietnam war.

Here are a few more links for your reading pleasure.

BBC
History Channel
The American Minute
Today in History

I've received alot of 'disagreeing' feedback from my article on "Anti-Military, Anti-Recruitment & Our Youth" from anti-war and anti-Bush/current administration folks. It just goes to show that even the straight, proven facts of history won't convince some of the truth whose minds are bent one point of view. Some are still singing the song of Saddem Hussien's non-threat to the world. May his trial open their eyes. In the meantime, here's a few of his quotes.

Victoria Secret Opens Door to Cross-Dressers & Trans-sexuals



Okay, I found this on the Detroit Free Press'site: Male cross-dressers and transsexuals are now welcome at Victoria Secret stores. That means the person in the next dressing room may not, in fact, be a female trying on underwear.
It all started after a recent HBO "Curb Your Enthusiasm" show inwhich Larry David was invited to try on bras by a Victoria Secret saleswoman. Evidently the store gave its approval to the episode and willingly allows their 'mail clients' to use the dressing rooms.
According to Detroit Free Press writer John Smyntek, "Veronica Vera, owner of Manhattan's Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to Be Girls, says the lingerie giant gave its official seal of approval to cross-dressing customers by giving the episode its OK." And sent Victoria Secret a letter of affirmation and thanks to which the company replied with the following email:

"If a male client requests a dressing room at a busy time ... or there are female clients in the area, we ask him to come back ... when the shop is less busy. If there are one or two females in the dressing rooms and it is a shop where there are additional dressing rooms free from female use, we will allow him to use a room free of female traffic."
Well, it is obvious the store does not know who it's market base is! Evidently the executives are so blinded by the potential of increased revenues that they have opened the door not only for trans-sexuals but for any over-stimulated male to claim they are a cross-dresser so that they can sneak a peek in a woman's lingerie shop. How absolutely absurd is that!
I don't know if you shop at Victoria Secret or not, but ladies, if you do I think it's time to let your feet do the talking on this one...and walk!

My Column on David Horowitz's FrontPageMag Today



My article on Washington Post's obsession with President Bush's blinking was picked up by FrontPageMag.com today. This is the first time they've carried my column which I consider an honor. I highly respect and appreciate the work David Horowitz and FrontPage are doing to expose blatant liberal bias and anti-American activities on our college campuses as well as anti-semitism, racism and much more.

I was able to arrange for David to speak at a major fundraising event in California a couple of years ago as we honored troops home from the war. He was great and our audience loved him. And he loved the troops.

I would encourage you to bookmark his site.

Check out My Child The Movie which has clips of moms whose sons or daughters are either fighting in the war in Iraq, fought and are now home, or died in combat. Debbie Katsounakis, President of No. California chapter of Blue Star Mothers, and guest on my show today is today's mom on the film. She talks about how she dealt with the anger she first felt when her son was to be sent to Iraq and what turned that around for her. See My Childe the Movie here.

Also, Debbie sent me the following note regarding an organization that helps military families affected by hurricane Katrina, etc, USACares.
There is an organization that is struggling to help military families in need, especially since Hurricane Katrina. This organization is wonderful, and we have worked together several times to help those in need. The Red Cross will at times refer families to them, and during this difficult time, they are still referring the soldiers plus their families to them. The problem is, they need help to get the word out to obtain funds to continue. I promised I would forward the organizations contact info in hopes that you could interview them.
We're going to contact them, but wanted to let you know about this great effort now.

What the blinkity-blink is going on with the liberal MSM?


Here's my latest NewsBusters article on:

"The Absurdity of Washington Post Dana Milbank and Bush's Body Language"

Describing a brief interview NBC's Matt Lauer had with President Bush and the First Lady in front of a Habitat for Humanity construction project yesterday, Washington Post's Dana Milbank was so obsessed with the President's body language that everything else he wrote about the interview got lost in his frenzied descriptions. For instance, regarding a question about prosecutors' interest in Rove, Milbank described the President's response as:

"Bush blinks twice. He touches his tongue to his lips. He blinks twice more. He starts to answer, but he stops himself. 'I'm not going to talk about the case,' Bush finally says after a three-second pause that, in television time, feels like a commercial break."

Letter by Al Qaeda's Number Two Leader Says U.S. May Run from Iraq


The Associate Press acquired a letter dated July 9, 2005 which Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's number 2 leader wrote in a letter to his top deputy, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in Iraq, that the United States "ran and left" in Vietnam and that jihadists must have a plan ready should Americans suddenly leave Iraq.

"Things may develop faster than we imagine," Zawahiri wrote. "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam - and how they ran and left their agents - is noteworthy. Because of that, we must be ready starting now, before events overtake us, and before we are surprised by the conspiracies of the Americans and the United Nations and their plans to fill the void behind them."

The english translation of the letter was 12 typed pages inwhich al-Zawahiri says, "It has always been my belief that the victory of Islam will never take place until a Muslim state is established ... in the heart of the Islamic world," and lays out a plan to expel Americans from Iraq, and take the war to Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. With a final confrontation with Israel. Go here to read more of the 6,000 word letter.

Reference materials on Miers at the Library of Congress law library can be found here.

Drudge Report today: Harriet Miers voted for Reagan in '84 and more.

Also from Druge, in case you missed it, reported that Miers' friend Hecht said she attends a pro-life church and together they attended pro-life fundraising dinners in the 90's here.

Interesting note reported by AP today: Supreme Court Justice Scalia, said he thought the confirmation process was too politicized, and when asked if he thought he would be confirmed again by the Senate, he said, "I don't know. I wouldn't want to go through it today, I'll tell you that much." Scalia was confirmed by a 98-0 vote by the Senate in 1986.

HOT OFF THE SHOW! The Goal of Radical Islam


Alot has happened since 9/11. Yesterday marked l year since Afghanistan had it's first democratic election. Iraq has had their first new election. Arafat is dead. Lebonese Prime Minister, Omar Karami, resigned as a result of massive protests. And as I talked quite a bit about both on the show and here - Ariel Sharon agreed to deport his own people out of Gaza to give that land to the Palestenians. Will these changes bring an end to jihad & terrorist violence?

I’m not that old, but I remember the threat communism posed before it fell, and I’ve done enough research and viewed enough documentaries to see what its like with the threat of Hitler’s desire for world domination, and many others before him. What is it with these dictators and governments that want to rule the world?! One gets put down and another one pops up. I watched a segment about Hitler on the History Channel and the commentator stressed the fact that Westerners especially, even when they read the facts and hear the quotes of those aspiring to rule the world, don’t really believe it, until the aggression is in full swing and starring us in the face.

And here we are in the 21st century facing and dealing with another violent, aggressive force with the same agenda - to control the world - radical Islam. Author of "Islam's Plan to Change the World", Professor William Wagner joined me on the show to talk about the conflict between Islam and the West, which he says is not just a clash of cultures - it is a head-to-head confrontation between a religion intent on world dominance and a culture that doesn't understand this. It's a great interview with a gentleman that knows what he's talking about.

Sunday's Point to Ponder: Tragic Disasters Increasing



Today, Pakistanis dug with their hands in an effort to find school children in the debris of a collapsed school where they were heard crying after a 7.7 earthquake killed over 20,000 in South Asia. Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf called yesterday's earthquake 'the country’s worst on record' and appealed for help, especially cargo helicopters to reach remote areas. President Bush said today that the United States is sending financial aid and eight helicopters.

Pat Robertson and Hal Lindsey believe recent world disasters point to 'end times'.

Whether this tradegy or hurricanes Katrina & Rita and other recent natural disasters are the ones referred to in the Bible as signaling end times or not, one thing is for sure...they are causing people to question 'what's going on'? And while it is a time to lend aid and give financially to relief efforts, it's also a time for personal reflection on what's really important in life.

When tradegies like these hit, wiping away lives, and life's possessions of those who survive, it brings home the truth that 'naked we came into the world, and naked we leave.' We take nothing with us into eternity, therefore, we better make sure we are not spending our lives on things that don't last. What lasts? Character & relationships. Of course, where we spend eternity will determine who we will spend it with.

HOT OFF THE SHOW! The Transgeneration


This week on the Logo and Sundance networts TransGeneration "a groundbreaking 8-part verite-documentary series that captures a year in the life of four transgender college students. The series follows four unique individuals, two male-to-females and two female-to-males as they struggle to transition from one gender to the other in the midst of a grueling school year," airs beginning on Oct. 11th. This is not a recommendation, just a report.

Last year California’s Supreme Court ordered a halt to gay marriages in the state after San Francisco's mayor allowed for them. Last month the state's legislature passed a bill allowing for gay marriage but Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed it last week. In the midst of this nation-wide battle, the number of youth who are questioning their gender is increasing. This is no small thing and I talked about it on the show today, asking questions such as, "Is it ethical for doctors to perform sex-change operations on very young women...who can't even make up their mind what their major should be?" This is a very serious issue.

HOT OFF THE SHOW! Terrorist Operatives in U.S.


We decided last week to re-air my two-part interview with Jayna Davis, author of "The Third Terrorist", on Rightalk.com today because her investigative work into the Oklahoma City bombing is one of the most thorough and well documented efforts to not only get to the truth about everyone involved in that bombing, but also to show how Middle East operatives operate.

Then, today New York City mobilized their police after receiving a report of a "credible threat" to its subway system. WorldNetDaily reports, "Sources told ABC News 19 terrorist operatives have been deployed to the city to place bombs in the subway." And a law enforcement official told the Associated Press that the threat is specific to method, place, and time...the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Jewish High Holidays.

The police department is taking the threat very seriously and has officers dispatched to patrol every subway station in Manhattan. Hopefully it remains just a threat never to be acted upon.

Conservatives Divided on Miers - Is a 'Heart' Issue



While George Will says Harriet Miers is "The Wrong Pick" and Michelle Malkin is unimpressed with what she calls the "coffee-n-donut" traits of Miers that President Bush and her former Pastor called attention to, Ann Coulter doesn't think she's qualified.

WorldNetDaily reported that Harriett Miers has favored homosexual adoption, women in combat, and more non-conservative positions on the issues, but Clifford Kincaid of Accuracy in Media said some of their conclusions were inaccurate.

Leading Republican Senators are divided over Miers' nomination. Senator Trent Lott said:
"I don't just automatically salute or take a deep bow anytime a nominee is sent up. I have to find out who these people are, and right now, I'm not satisfied with what I know. I'm not comfortable with the nomination, so we'll just have to work through the process in due time...There are a lot more people – men, women and minorities – that are more qualified in my opinion by their experience than she is."
But Senator Orrin Hatch, a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has announced that he intends to vote for her:
"A lot of my fellow conservatives are concerned, but they don't know her as I do. She is going to basically do what the president thinks she should, and that is to be a strict constructionist."
Dr. James Dobson, Founder and Chairman of Focus on the Family has publicly voiced his support for the Miers' nomination on his radio show saying:
"I have talked at length to people who havve known her a long time, 25 years. I trust these people."
Gary Bauer, President of American Values, said he is unconvinced about Miers:
"As of today, not one friend, associate, co-woirker or White House official is able to produce one sentence she has written or spoken in criticism of Roe v.Wade. Her apparaent silence is troubling - at least to me."
While conservatives are highly 'engaged' on this appointment, some liberals are surprisingly content to watch and wait. Could it be because Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic leader in the Senate, was the one who suggested Miers for the appointment to President Bush?

HOT OFF THE SHOW! Transgenics & UFOs



My interview today with Tom Horn of Raiders News about his new book, "The Ahriman Gate" covers areas that are pretty 'edgy'...such as the mixing of humans and animals, and... UFOs. Though the book is a novel, the information about what is going on in the biotech arena is factual and...startling. (see Follow the Facts for 10/5/05 for more on this). The UFO stuff, well I'm neither a believer in or follower of this subject, but what Tom brings out to explain what this 'phenomena' could possibly be is different than the standard 'get out the tin foil hats' mentality, and intriging. More on both of these subjects later...

1937 Hugo Black, U.S. Senator

HOT OFF THE SHOW! Operation Belly Laughs For our Troops



I had Comedian, Paul Aldrich on the show today to: #1 share some humor and #2 to talk about Operation Belly Laughs, a project of several comedians who have pulled together to produce CDs of some of their funniest routines to send to our troops overseas. It's a great idea and certainly will do its part in helping to keep the morale of our troops high.

Speaking of which, there's alot of talk from the MSM (mainstream media) about the low morale of our troops, poor recruitment & re-enlistment numbers, which I will address in my column this week, but for here...how about some thoughts from a soldier 'overthere' who President Bush quoted in his last Acceptance Speech:

by Joe Roche

I'm in Baghdad, Iraq. I'm a soldier with the U.S. Army serving in the 16th Combat Engineer Battalion.

The news you are hearing stateside is awfully depressing and negative. The reality is we are accomplishing a tremendous amount here, and the Iraqi people are not only benefiting greatly, but are enthusiastically supportive.

My job is mostly to be the driver of my platoon's lead Humvee. I see the missions our Army is performing, and I interact closely with the Iraqi people. Because of this, I know how successful and important our work is.

My battalion carries out dozens of missions all over the city -- missions that are improving peoples' lives. We have restored schools and universities, hospitals, power plants and water systems. We have engineered new infrastructure projects and much more. We have also brought security and order to many of Baghdad's worst areas -- areas once afflicted with chaos and brutality. Our efforts to train vast numbers of Iraqis to police and secure the city's basic law and order are bearing fruit.

Our mission is vital. We are transforming a once very sick society into a hopeful place. Dozens of newspapers and the concepts of freedom of religious worship and expression are flowering here. So, too, are educational improvements. This is the work of the U.S. military.
Go here to read more of Joe's letter. (Thanks to Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog)

Also, tune in online to hear about Operation Belly Laughs as well as some of Paul Aldrich's humor.

Sunday's Point to Ponder - What's the Point?



"The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'" -Billy Graham

The new Pope, Benedict XVI, certainly demonstrates this kind of resolve. I just love his courage. See "Pope Benedict whacks 'hypocritical' secularists - Calls those who want to exclude God from public life intolerant"

That's our goal for Changing Worldviews' radio show, website, blogsites and all our efforts...that people will be mobilized to action. Just as faith without works is dead, so are convictions without action.
