Thought to Action episodes

  • Ep 51 - Holding Those Responsible For the Afghanistan Pullout Debacle Accountable - with Rep. Andy Biggs
    American citizens are still stranded in Afghanistan at the time this episode has been taped, the Taliban has taken over the country while all or either of China, Iran and Russia might look to swoop in on the war-torn country's natural resources and strategic location. The blundered Biden Administration pullout of Afghanistan is the defining moment of the 46th US President's reign.
    The question, however, is: How do we hold those responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal failure accountable -- and will anyone actually do it?
    Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) talks about this with London Center for Policy Research President LTC Tony Shaffer.

  • Ep. 50 - Operation Dragon and The History of Russian Disinformation Campaigns - with James Woolsey
    Despite the fall of the Soviet Union decades ago, it would be a mistake to dismiss Russia as a major threat to the US. From Russian disinformation campaigns dating back to the Stalin years though those stemming off of the Russian Collusion Hoax of 2016, Russian leaders have been working stealthily to take down America. These days, with social media and easy access to the minds of millions, Russian leaders do not need to rely on a friendly New York Times reporter to do publicity for them as Stalin had with Walter Duranty.


    Former CIA Director Jim Woolsey talks about this with London Center for Policy Research President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer on this edition of Thought to Action, presented by the London Center, with a focus on Operation Dragon, a campaign involving the KGB as a means to keep the focus of the murder - executed by Lee Harvey Oswald - away from where the real evidence points: toward the man who ordered it, then- Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev


    Russian propaganda sowed and nurtured contempt for the US, and its operations have morphed into many forms, including the recruitment of global terror groups and the backing of enemy nation- states.Still, as Woolsey explains in his book, OPERATION DRAGON: INSIDE THE KREMLIN'S SECRET WAR ON AMERICA, it was the JFK assassination with its explosive aftermath of false conspiracy theories, that set the model for blaming America first -- a sentiment which has gathered strength into today.

  • Ep 49 - Biden Pushes to Grant the #IRS More Power to Snoop Into Small Bank Accounts: Is it Unconstitutional?
    President Joe Biden is proposing to expand the IRS by 87,000 agents and to grant it power to snoop into transactions of as little as $600. As it stands now, that threshold it $10,000. This would also extend the IRS' reach into Paypal, Venmo and other similar accounts.
    Not only will this allow the government to come down hard on the little guy, gig worker and small businessman, its seizure and investigation practices are causing serious concerns over possible violations of the 4th Amendment. With that, there is the looming danger of the Washington leadership to do what former President Barack Obama did and use the IRS as a political weapon to come after dissidents.

    On this edition of Thought to Action, a panel from the London Center for Policy Research discusses Biden's attempt at a new power grab and its potential ramifications.


    Our Panel:
    LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer - President, London Center for Policy Research
    Monica Crowley - Former Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
    Bryan Griffin - Distinguished Fellow, LCPR
    Navy Capr (ret) Pete O'Brien - Distinguished Fellow, LCPR

  • Ep. 48 - Examining #Putin's Playbook with Rebekah Koffler
    While America is in the middle of what some call an ideological civil war, the botched Afghanistan pullout, a new cold war with China and a Leftist academic indoctrination syndicate has come to fruition, is this all part of Vladimir Putin's plan to take down the United States of America?


    Former DIA Agent Rebekah Koffler, author of Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America, talks with Herb London Center for Policy Research President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer about how Putin and his inner circle have used holes in the American social structure and its elected leadership to his political advantage using examples from the Russian Collusion Hoax to indoctrination of Western Youth.

  • Ep 47 - Red Alert #China 5: Will the CCP Swoop into #Afghanistan After the Botched US Pullout?
    New threats loom after the Biden Administration's failures concerning the US withdrawal of Afghanistan, not the least of which is the potential for China to either forcefully or diplomatically move into the nation and create ties with the new Taliban government.

    Chinese influence in the Central Asian nation not only give the CCP strong presence at a globally strategic location, but potential control over Afghanistan rich natural resources, including coveted Rare Earth materials (the latter of which China is said to have control of 80-90% of the world's supply). This could have severe implications in technological advancement, economics and overall political power for President Xi and his party.

    On this edition of Red Alert: China, presented by the London Center for Policy Research, our panel discusses these potential threats and China's possible moves involving Afghanistan and its new Taliban leadership.

    Our panel:
    LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer - President, London Center for Policy Research
    Ambassador Hank Cooper - Member, LCPR Board of Directors
    Navy Capt. Pete O'Brien - Distinguished Fellow, LCPR
    David Goldman - Senior Fellow, LCPR

  • Ep 45 - Deep Dive: Ripple Effects from the #Afghanistan Pullout Debacle
    While the Botched Biden Pullout of Afghanistan will go down in as one of the worse blunders in world history, we go beneath the headlines on this week's Thought to Action to look into the ripple effects of the fiasco.
    Our panel from the Herb London Center for Policy Research not only looks at what went wrong and why, but what needs to be done to solve the problems stemming from the poorly-executed Biden Administration withdrawal plan and what could happen next as the China's Communist leadership and Russia are setting their sights on the nation, which is rich in natural resources including Rare Earth elements. Control of the latter would change the world's balance of technological advancement and power.
    We also look into what signals the latest of Biden Administration policy failures sends to our Western allies, rival nations, China and terrorist organizations around the world as well as how to repair this increasing perception of weakness in US leadership.

    Our panel:
    LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer - President, London Center for Policy Research
    Navy Capt (Ret) Pete O'Brien - Distinguished Fellow, LCPR
    Bryan Griffin - Distinguished Fellow, LCPR
    Marine Capt. Bill Heinzelmann -- Special Guest Panelist.

  • Ep 43: Why Have Politicians and Bureaucrats Repeatedly Ignored Protecting Our Power Grid?
    While the Biden Administration stressed "human infrastructure" and the politically stylish "green power" in its Infrastructure Bill proposals, ignorance of the need to protect the U.S. power grid is not new; past administrations and Congresses have also dropped the proverbial ball on this glaring issue, which is imperative to national defense, the supply chain, the economy and individuals' survival.


    Ambassador Hank Cooper, a member of the London Center for Policy Research's Board of Directors, has been warning national leaders about the dangers of not protecting the US power grid from cyber warfare, an EMP attack or CME event. His in-depth research is summarized in a series of articles published on the Newsmax website, the LCPR website and in this as well as other Thought to Action episodes. Ambassador Cooper is the Chairman of High Frontier: http://highfrontier.org/


    Ambassador Cooper and LCPR Sr. Fellow LTC Tim Wilson (British Army, Ret) discuss why politicians and bureaucrats have ignored this issue far too long and why they need to move on it quickly.

  • Ep 42: Red Alert: #China pt. 4 - Why Did Biden Recycle Foriegn Policy Failures vs the #CCP?
    As China makes aggressive moves economically and politically against the U.S. and neighboring countries while flexing its muscles around the South China Sea, President Biden's hand-picked blue-ribbon team to deal with the machinations of the CCP consists of failed re-treads from past weak-on-foreign policy administrations led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Deputy Sec. of State Wendy Sherman.


    The duo were recently dressed down publicly by Chinese officials on separate trips to Beijing, but also known for several past fiascos including Binken's hand in poor Syria Policy, the deterioration of Libya and weak response to Russia's annexation of Crimea while Sherman is best known for a nuclear agreement with North Korea which was celebrated by the Clinton Administration, yet accomplished nothing more than the Kim regime continuing its nuclear weapons program.


    This week on Thought to Action's special Red Alert: China series, London Center for Policy Research President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer and Distinguished Fellow Navy Capt (Ret) Pete O'Brien discuss President Joe Biden's insistence on recycling failed Obama and Clinton officials only solidifies the confidence the CCP has been showing in 2021 when it comes to pushing influence and gaining political leverage, making Communist China more dangerous to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, the US and the rest of the world.
