  • Ep 91 - Culture Wars: The Insurgency Fights Back, with Tony Shaffer, Cherie Currie and Jennie Matthias
    The term "Culture Wars" may be easily dismissed by some, but they are quite real and affect out everyday lives. The US, UK and other Western governments have attempted to whittle away individual freedoms and rights, publicly shame (and sometimes prosecute) free thinkers, change/control language and manipulate the Free World's economies to the downward spiral they are in today to more easily push an authoritarian globalist agenda, indoctrinate young people with a Leftist collective agenda.
    Can we beat these powerful people? Perhaps so, even though the Far Left has fully infiltrated academia, public education, major media outlets, the entertainment industry and Big Tech. They use scare tactics like "Global Warming/Climate Change will end the world (again)" or "(Insert wrongthinker here) is a racist (or bigot, anti-gay, Master of Hate and Destruction) to manipulate or silence a population into a more obedient lot.
    Who is fighting back? More people than you realize. They come from all over: working families, small business owners, grass-roots activists, concerned parents as well as rockers and entertainers who won't be forced into silence.
    The London Center for Policy Research has started this Culture Wars Salon series; for our second installment, we have invited music stars Cherie Currie (Recording artist, formerly of the Runaways - as well as stellar chainsaw sculptor) and Jennie Matthias (The Belle Stars, solo recording artist and charity leader) to discuss the Culture Wars of today with LCPR President LTC Tony Shaffer and host Chris Cordani, the weapons, how they affect all of us and fighting back - perhaps we are the insurgency.

  • Ep 90 - The Legacy of Sgt Woody Williams, the Last WWII Medal of Honor Recipient and Atrocities Committed by Imperial Japan During the War
    On July 14, 2022, Marine Sgt. Herschel "Woody" Williams was laid to rest at the U.S. Capital as an honor to his service and heroics at Iwo Jima in World War 2. Sgt. Williams was also the last World War 2 Medial of Honor recipient. While LCPR President LTC Tony Shaffer explores Williams' life and heroics with biographer Dr. Bryan Mark Rigg, author of FLAMETHROWER, they also delve into the political controversy surrounding the Marine's well-earned award.

    In addition, LTC Shaffer and Dr. Rigg go into a deeper conversation about the atrocities of the Imperial Japanese, which were arguably as bad or worse than their Nazi allies and the Soviets yet left out of the history books.

  • Ep 89 - The Green Agenda's Continued Failures and Solutions to the Need for Cleaner Energy
    While working on alternatives to fossil fuels in the future is a noble and practical approach, the current crop of "Green Agenda" politicians are pushing ideas which either are not working, not ready for prime-time or ignore truly efficient and clean potential sources. We hear "America needs to switch to wind turbines, ethanol, renewable energy sources and people must drive electric cards by (insert UN/WEF-inspired year here)," as pols rush in most likely to pad their legacies, their campaign accounts and investments to show how they are doing something to promote "going green." They, however, ignore the glaring lack of readiness, the need to use fossil fuels to operate many of these clean-green turbines or electric car charging stations or that there is a perfectly clean non-petroleum-based power sector developing quite well, albeit not a Greta-approved money-making plan like the Biden Administration or the World Economic Forum have been pushing.
    The London Center for Policy Research explores the constant failures of the Green Agenda, why powerful politicians, lobbyists, media apologists and energy-rationing advocates have been pushing while presenting a truly viable solution in this edition of Thought to Action

  • Ep 88 - The Empire State Strikes Back? Gov. Hochul's New Gun Control Laws Reap More Constitutional Concerns
    It did not take long for New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the state's Democratic Legislative majority to react to the Supreme Court's striking down of its unconstitutional and often abused concealed carry permit restrictions with new laws doubling down on their party's national gun control agenda. The new laws will impose a statewide database on firearms and ammunition possession, regular government checks on gun owners and a long list of "no-gun zones," where criminals know no law-abiding citizen will ever be armed. This collective and hasty response to the New York State Pistol & Rifle Association v. Bruen decision raises more Constitutional concerns; the London Center for Policy Research examines them.

  • Ep 87 - Cryptocurrencies and National Security: What You Need to Know
    Cryptocurrencies have grown in popularity within all generations of investors as the potential for both massive growth and financial disaster looms for this new financial sector. In recent weeks, Bitcoin (the de facto measuring stick cryptocurrency) has seen its value tumble around $10,000 in value between June 6 and 24th amid a period of high inflation and a coming recession. Still, many investors continue to take the risk in anticipation of stellar rewards.
    Despite cryptocurrencies' roller coaster when it comes to value, London Center for Policy Research Fellow and Financial Expert Tim Furey discusses other issues with the Bitcoins, Dogecoins and Etheriums of the world alongside LCPR President Tony Shaffer including:

    What are the national security implications of cryptocurrencies?
    What's stopping governments from taking control of them?
    What are the advantages and disadvantages to investing in a non-tangible currency with potentially arbitrary value?
    Where is the faith in credit when it comes to cryptocurrencies?

  • Ep 86 - Red Flag Laws and Potential Government Abuses: An Honest Conversation
    As the Biden Administration and its cohorts in the Washington Left have continued milking school shooting tragedies to push their collective gun control agenda, it would seem some Republicans in Congress are buying in to some of the rhetoric. Much of what has been discussed concerns what are referred to as "red flag laws."
    On the surface, it seems like a reasonable idea: most people would equate this with "keeping firearms out of the hands of people who are mentally ill and have shows signs of wanting to perpetrate a mass murder." While that makes for a nice headline, it's time for an honest discussion about the potential abuse by powerful politicians and cronies who wield economic as well as social power.
    If "red flag" firearms ownership laws are passed, who decides the parameters for a "mentally ill" label? Does anyone really trust a government who has seen a Presidential administration from 2009-2016 which used the IRS as a weapon against political opponents to have such power? Does anyone believe politicians who recently encouraged violence against Supreme Court Justices to decide who loses their gun rights?
    There are several potential abuses of power which could stem from any "red flag" laws aimed at limiting legal firearms possession by citizens and gaining more control over people's lives (perhaps a pre-cursor to a CCP-like Social Credit System). Wrongthink or disagreements with powerful entities could get someone red-flagged as well; we saw this in recent times when Google did that to a whilstle-blower who revealed the company's manipulation of information on its search engines. The London Center for Policy Research conducts an in-depth discussion, peeling back the superficial arguments and uncovering the potential consequences in this edition of Thought to Action.

  • Ep 85 - Great Reset Roundtable 5: The WEF Lauds a Carbon Footprint Tracker to Monitor Your Energy Use
    The world's elite wants to track and, eventually, control your energy use. If it sounds like a conspiracy theory, it is not: during the 2022 World Economic Forum Conference, Alibaba Group President J. Michael Evans boastfully announced technology is in the works to implement a system which would track private citizens' carbon footprint. To clarify, Evans proudly stated, “What does that mean? Where are they traveling? How are they traveling? What are they eating? What are they consuming on the platform?”
    Couple Evans' comments with WEF cohort Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who suggested a "re-calibration" of free speech and dissension in the internet, the Davos Elite will steamroll the world to implement its "Great Reset."
    This isn't new: Americans are being tracked constantly, yet voluntarily, via the use of EZ-Pass, some internet search engines, GPS and insurance-company-insured dash-cams. While US citizens did push back on a past attempt to instill a centralized medical data system on the internet, the WEF and Western Leftists are counting on populations to give them more control over their lives in exchange for both security and convenience.
    In this installment of the London Center for Policy Research's Great Reset Roundtable, our panel discusses continued efforts to control the world's population and undermine the freer societies to force their concentration of power and how to fight back.

  • Ep 84: The War on Objective Truth: Fighting Suppression of Information with Tony Shaffer, Jennie Matthias and Nancy Quattro Glass
    As Twitter's censorship and manipulative practices as well as the U.S. government's attempt to control the flow of information continue to be exposed, rather than admitting what happened, taking responsibility, Big Tech and the Biden Administration doubled down on their continued suppression of ideas, facts and discussion certain political factions fear being exchanged. While such powerful entities attempted to derail objective truth (i. e. discussion about the Biden Laptop, the Durham investigation, election integrity issues, problems within the public school system, etc) and propping up established, yet false or questionable narratives (Russian/Trump collusion, The so-called "pee tape," Jussie Smollett, etc), the honest and inquisitive citizens find themselves making headway in the uphill battle against their stranglehold on social discourse.
    This is a problem mainly affecting conservative or center-right leaning thinkers not only in the policy community, but entertainers and many others are subject to being suspended or outright exiled from social media pages for the crime of "wrongthink."

    Joining London Center for Policy Research President Tony Shaffer and Media Director Chris Cordani for this panel are:
    Jennie Matthias of The Belle Stars
    Nancy Quatro Glass of Cradle and The Pleasure Seekers

  • Ep. 83 - Preventing Veteran Suicides with Fallen Soldiers March
    As we remember our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day weekend and throughout the year, a hidden epidemic of plagues our living veteran community: suicides by those who served our country. While the media rarely discusses this, many U.S. military veterans commit or contemplate suicide every year. Why is this happening and how can we help these heroes who made sacrifices for their nation yet are suffering in silence? On this edition of Thought to Action, we at the London Center for Policy Research talk with leaders from the Fallen Soldiers March, Senior Advisor Warren Lamb, President Jim Retzke and Senior Advisor Julie Ganschow about the organization's work helping veterans who are at risk or contemplating taking their own lives through the inspiration of Christian faith and the care of those who work with the Fallen Soldiers March

  • Ep. 82 - Fighting Back Against Government and Social Media Information Manipulation
    Yes, Twitter has been exposed as a manipulator of information and discourse as many have speculated, but that took a billionaire's buyout offer and delving into the company's dubious operational practices. Still, monied interests in mainstream and other social media gatekeepers continue their stranglehold on information and narratives. The battle for honest discourse, free discussion, and to end the censorship of information contradictory to dictated "conventional wisdom" needs to continue from the grass roots.
    Our panel from the London Center for Policy Research tackles a question from one of our viewers about how to keep challenging the Big Tech/Government's war on objective truth and collective control of digital as well as mainstream media entities.
