  • Ep 60 - Minimum Standard of Response, the Rule of Law and 2nd Amendment Suffrage
    The right to self-defense was written into the Constitution, is an important American value, yet continues to be persistently fought by authoritarian politicians who want to not only disarm citizens, but impede one's right to fight back against criminal attacks. This debate came to a critical mass during and after the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Rights to own, carry and use firearms to defend oneself are upheld by some states, but heavily restricted in states in a nation where a Constitutional right to do so is written as guaranteed. London Center for Policy Research's Second Amendment Project aims to correct this diversion from protections of our rights and ourselves.
    In this edition of Thought to Action, London Center for Policy Research Senior Fellow and leader of the Second Amendment Project LTC (British Army, Ret) Tim Wilson and Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt (Ret) Pete O'Brien explore the concepts of Minimum Standard Response, the rule of law and why we need 2nd Amendment Suffrage. On the latter point, Wilson and O'Brien discuss how to correct the current state of affairs dictating although one is licensed to carry firearms in one state, they can be arrested for possessing one in another.

  • Ep 59 - #Putin's Power Play Against #Ukraine is Only a Small Part of His Overall Plan
    Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin moved 94,000 troops to the Ukraine-Crimea border in an attempt to intimidate the former Soviet Republic's president Volodymyr Zelensky over the disputed territory. Is this merely a spat over some land or is it part of a larger overall plan by Putin to gain more global economic and territorial power?
    In this edition of Thought to Action, our panel from the London Center for Policy Research and special guest former DIA Agent Rebekah Koffler, author of PUTIN'S PLAYBOOK: RUSSIA'S SECRET PLAN TO DEFEAT AMERICA look deeply into what's transpiring between Russia and Ukraine, how Putin looks at his position and potentially the other former Soviet Republics as well as how the Russian President is using economic and energy supply leverage to gain power over NATO nations financially while flexing his muscles militarily closer to home.
    US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have issued warnings against Russian advancement into Ukraine, but how seriously is Putin taking them considering the administration's overall foreign policy track record?
    Another interesting development over the Crimea dispute is the sudden, and perhaps rather suspicious, turnaround in policy toward the situation by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, whose recent electoral victory has been called into question. After 7 years of remaining neutral, Lukashenko has not only come out in vocal support of Putin's occupation of Crimea (after the Russian President financially supported him as he weathered citizens' protests) but has offered to host Russian nuclear weaponry on its soil.

    Our Panel:
    London Center President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer
    LCPR Distinguished Fellow Navy Capr. (Ret) Pete O'Brien
    Former DIA Agent Rebekah Koffler - Author, PUTIN'S PLAYBOOK: RUSSIA'S SECRET PLAN TO DEFEAT AMERICA

  • Ep 58 - A Deeper Dive into Self-Defense and the Rule of Law Post-Rittenhouse Verdict
    There will be quite a bit more fallout coming after the Rittenhouse trial spanning several issues, perhaps the most important being that of self-defense and the rule of law.
    On this edition of Thought to Action, our Herb London Center for Policy Research panel discusses the central points of the Rittenhouse trial, how it will affect similar cases and other Second Amendment-related court proceedings in the future.
    We also delve into the conduct of the prosecutors, who employed several deceptive tactics in order to sway a jury into a guilty verdict at all costs, all while the US media establishment worked hard to sway public opinion against the teen. It was not only media, but elected officials who knew nothing about the case aside what social and mainstream media would allow, injected themselves into the investigation and proceedings. This included President Joe Biden, who in a campaign video asserting, without evidence, the then-minor was a dangerous White Supremacist for political gain.

    The panel for this episode:
    LCPR President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer
    LCPR Board of Directors Member Bennett McPhatter
    LCPR Senior Fellow LTC (Ret, British Army) Tim Wilson
    LCPR Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt (Ret) Pete O'Brien
    LCPR Distinguished Fellow Bryan Griffin
    Moderated by LCPR Media Director Chris Cordani

  • Ep 57 - The Rittenhouse Trial: A Case Study on Self-Defense Rights, Prosecutorial Abuse and Media Misconduct
    Kyle Rittenhouse was found "not guilty" by a guilty after a controversial murder trial for defending himself against attackers at a riot in Kenosha. While this is a victory for one's right to defend oneself, there are also questions of prosecutorial misconduct and hefty media bias by those who covered the court proceedings.
    Our panel from the London Center for Policy Research discusses the importance of the Rittenhouse trial beyond the verdict as we delve into the underlying issues:
    The right to self-defense
    Minimum Standard Response
    2nd Amendment Suffrage
    Prosecutorial Misconduct/Abuse of power
    Blatant media bias during coverage of the trial

    Our panelists:
    LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer - LCPR President
    LTC (British Army, Ret) Tim Wilson - LCPR Senior Fellow
    Navy Capt (Ret) Pete O'Brien - LCPR Distinguished Fellow
    Marine Capt. Bill Heinzelmann - LCPR Senior Fellow

  • Ep 55 - COVID19 Vaccines for Children Aged 5-12: What Parents Need to Know
    "On 29 October 2021, the Food and Drug Association (FDA) extended its Emergency Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech “vaccine” to be given to reduce serious COVID-19 infections in children aged 5 to 11 years. The FDA provided little evidence for their decision except for a minimal sized "immunobridging" study which incorrectly considered blood antibody levels to be the same thing as immunity to the COVID-19 virus. It is not. Especially when using a mRNA “vaccine” that is demonstrably no longer working in the older age groups." - Dr. Steve Hatfill from his sourced researched paper: "Referenced Data for Parent’s Concerning the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccination for Children Aged 5-12"

    Dr. Steve Hatfill, MD, Virologist and Senior Fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, discusses the research in his well-sourced document with LCPR President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer as parents need to be aware of not only the government-touted benefits of the FDA-Approved COVID vaccine from Pfizer but the potential risks they may also pose to some young children.

  • Ep 54: Exposed: Anti-Jewish and Anti-Zionist Conspiracy Theories Are Being Taught at US Universities
    While writing a tribute to his father, a survivor of the Holocaust who educated him on the importance of faith and Jewish values, Scott Shay was disturbed and dismayed to discover the presence of anti-Zionist professors on the faculty of his alma mater, Northwestern University. As a student of Jewish thought, history, and current events, who has written extensively on contemporary Jewish issues, he was compelled to take a deep dive into the world of anti-Zionist conspiracy theories and academia. Scott chronicled his shocking revelations in his book, Conspiracy U.


    Scott Shay talks about his findings as a microcosm of what's happening all over Academia with London Center for Policy Research President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer



    In the bubble world of Academia, critical thought has been replaced by indoctrination and propaganda as disproven conspiracy theories, Shay's case study within the book zeroes in on two professors at the Chicago Area's Northwestern University

  • Ep 53 - The Ongoing Fight to End Human #Trafficking with Voices Against Trafficking Founder Andi Buerger
    Even in the 21st century, slavery exists. Despite the lack of media attention, human trafficking is rampant all over the world. Coyotes smuggle children across the US-Mexico border, international syndicates traffic and sell people, sex slaves are bought and sold around the globe. Human trafficking may also be happening in your own neighborhood. London Center for Policy Research President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer discusses this worldwide tragedy with Andi Buerger, a trafficking survivor and founder of both Voices Against Trafficking and Beulah's Place


    Andi reveals trackers' mindsets, how they find victims and what has really been going on with sex trafficking both in the US and internationally. She also exposes the reality of family trafficking -- where one's own relatives and family friends are the perpetrators. Andi founded Beulah's Place and Voices Against Trafficking to both help in the fight against this heinous crime and to help victims of such abuse.

  • Ep. 52 - Standing Up to #CRT and Other Poor #Education Policies From the Grass Roots
    We have heard about parents expressing their disagreement toward school boards which endorse and implement education policies focusing more on wokeness rather than education, CRT over Mathematics and Social Promotion over preparation. While the Federal Government reacts by treating parents who dare question these poor policies as terrorists, the real solution lies in becoming active from the grass roots. One such person, Alysha Legge, decided to fight back by running for the Hillsborough County School Board in Florida. Alysha talks about this with a panel from the London Center for Policy Research including LCPR President LTC Tony Shaffer, Senior Fellow Jay Homnick and Distinguished Fellow Bryan Griffin.
