022A-CORRECTION to Episode 022
Hi there Listeners! I’m posting a correction to Episode 022. When mentioning the 4 strategic players in the Democracy Matters: A Strategic Plan for Action document, I called the 4th player “Superblue.” That is incorrect. The 4th player in this strategic plan is SHAREBLUE. Please note this correction when listening to the episode.

CORRECTION: In the episode I mention 4 strategic players involved in the progressive movement’s strategic plan: Media Matters, American Bridge, CREW, and Superblue. I misspoke regarding the last player. IT IS SHAREBLUE NOT SUPERBLUE. Over the last 5 episodes I have covered a lot of critical and timely content; specifically a review of the Censorship […]

021-Consider these Alternative Browser & Social Media Platforms
I was surprised to hear the other day that the browser I use has gone rogue. Naturalnews.com reports that Firefox from Mozilla, is “pushing an Information Trust Initiative, that would block independent media sources at the browser level while favoring corporate media giants like CNN, a cesspool of deliberately fake news.” What is this Information […]

020-Are You Really Willing to be Silenced & Controlled? Part 4
Well…free speech has continued to be under attack in our nation since I last spoke with you. Last week I mentioned the abrupt and pervasive moves of various support companies to take the operation of infowars.com offline. Since then, Criteo, an advertising platform, dropped their services, and a server was turned off for a day, […]

019-Are You REALLY Willing to be Silenced & Controlled Part 3
Censorship of free speech is alive and well my friends. On Monday a very influential news source, infowars.com, was banned from Facebook, Spotify, Google Podcast, and YouTube…all within a 12 hour period. No warnings, reasons, or justifications given. Just gone! 12 other service providers infowars used joined their ranks shortly thereafter. Included are the following: […]

018-Are You REALLY Willing to be Silenced & Controlled? Part 2

017-Are You REALLY Willing to be Silenced & Controlled? Part 1
In days gone by….way before the advent of microwave ovens, computers, and the internet, a national narrative was most often developed and maintained through newspapers, telegraph, and word of mouth. This allowed a particular narrative to endure for a long time. Today, with the internet, smartphones, and social media, a national narrative can change or […]

016-How to Recognize and Deal with the “Matrix of Victimhood”
If you’ve ever watched the movie “The Matrix” or become a fan of Star Trek Next Generations or Voyager, you get the concept of matrix living. Totally immersed in an outwardly controlled world that conditions you into believing and living in a deceptive reality, you move through life making decisions and relating to people “liefully.” […]

015-Christians Need to Engage in Some Tough Discussions
It is so common, and has been for ever so long, for Christians to huddle and focus on the well-being and development of its own community.

012-Boundary Basics: Are Cinder Blocks or a New Panel the Only Options?
Susan looked at the gap in the fence and began to ponder her repair options. “I could put up a cinder block wall…that would certainly keep me from wandering over the property line again,” she thought sarcastically. But it would be cheaper to just replace the panel,” she concluded. The back gate opened suddenly, and […]

011-Boundary Basics: It’s Time to Make it Personal
After Carie left, Susan retreated to the back yard, staring at the gap the fallen panel had left in the fence. It didn’t look as inviting as it had just a few hours before. Propping the panel against the side of the house, she began revisiting the choices she’d made that afternoon. All of a […]
