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.<br />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.<br /><br />If you enjoy our Thought to Action videos, please comment and subscribe to our channel<br /><br />Also, visit our Thought to Action Teespring Store:  <a href="https://my-store-10084335.creator-spring.com/" rel="noopener">https://my-store-10084335.creator-spring.com/</a> <br /><br />Follow the London Center on Twitter: @TheLCPR <br /><br />Thank you for watching; please feel free to comment, share and subscribe.<br /> <br />For exclusive content, sneak previews and access to our full Ask Us Anything Sessions (and future live virtual events) - please join our Patreon community:  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thoughttoaction" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/thoughttoaction</a> <br /><br />Thought to Action is presented by the London Center for Policy Research  <a href="https://www.londoncenter" rel="noopener">https://www.londoncenter</a>.org​]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50682995</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jul 2022 21:53:16 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/50682995/tony_chrs_cherie_and_jennie_a.mp3" length="78683368" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>London Ctr for Policy Research</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The term "Culture Wars" may be easily dismissed by some, but they are quite real and affect out everyday lives.

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?

Former United States Attorney General Ed Meese joins our panel to discuss the prevailing debate over the past century-plus as to whether the Constitution must remain followed to the text and intent of its creators versus the assertion it is a "living, breathing document" which needs to change with the times: the fight between Constitutional Originalists vs. Judicial Activists. The current chaos over the 1973 Roe v.

For decades, legislators have tried to gain power by weakening the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th amendments on a regular basis; their bidding done eagerly by activists instilled in the Judicial body.<br />On this edition of Thought to Action, our panel discusses the need for Constitutional originalists in the Supreme Court and how to instill such values in the next generation of judges and legislators. We explore cases, the need to continue nominating Constitutional Originalists and to promote the understanding to all in the U.S. that the right decision as per the law of the land will not always go someone's way, but protection of its foundation is paramount.

Jackson Women's Health Organization case negating – effectively overturning – the oft-debated Roe v. Wade decisions due to Constitutional Considerations has caused quite the political row. Despite the knee-jerk emotional reactions from the Far Left and early claims of victory from those who are anti-abortion, the true argument against the 1973 landmark SCOUTS decision is Constitutional: a violation of the 10th Amendment of the US Bill of Rights. Our panel from the Herb London Center for Policy Research delves into the true contestable issues surrounding the Roe v. Wade outcome. <br />The seven Supreme Court Justices who voted in favor of the "Jane Roe" legal team justified their decision citing the 14th Amendment's "Due Process" statute while adding not allowing a women to have an abortion would violate that same amendment's declaration the government can not infringe on people's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness."

Jackson Women's Health Organization case negating – effectively overturning – the oft-debated Roe v. Wade decisions due to Constitutional Considerations has caused quite the political row. Despite the knee-jerk emotional reactions from the Far Left and early claims of victory from those who are anti-abortion, the true argument against the 1973 landmark SCOUTS decision is Constitutional: a violation of the 10th Amendment of the US Bill of Rights. Our panel from the Herb London Center for Policy Research delves into the true contestable issues surrounding the Roe v. Wade outcome. <br />The seven Supreme Court Justices who voted in favor of the "Jane Roe" legal team justified their decision citing the 14th Amendment's "Due Process" statute while adding not allowing a women to have an abortion would violate that same amendment's declaration the government can not infringe on people's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." Of the two dissenting Justices, William Rehnquist argued the 14th amendment does not  protect abortion (citing legal issues) while Justice Byron White says the decision violated the rights of states to set such laws (A10).

Harper and LTC Shaffer discuss how the American people need to hold our government and its elected officials accountable for its actions to weaken America and circumvent the Constitution.<br /><br />Also, visit our Thought to Action Teespring Store: <a href="https://my-store-10084335.creator-spr" rel="noopener">https://my-store-10084335.creator-spr</a>... <br /><br />Follow the London Center on Twitter: @TheLCPR <br /><br />Thank you for watching; please feel free to comment, share and subscribe.<br /><br />Or, please feel free to make a contribution here:  <a href="https://givebutter.com/london-center-.." rel="noopener">https://givebutter.com/london-center-..</a>.<br /><br />For exclusive content, sneak previews and access to our full Ask Us Anything Sessions (and future live virtual events) - please join our Patreon community:  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thoughttoaction" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/thoughttoaction</a> <br /><br />Thought to Action is presented by the London Center for Policy Research  <a href="https://www.londoncenter" rel="noopener">https://www.londoncenter</a>.org​]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1248</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>accountblity,congress,corruption,democrat,economy,election,election2022,government,governmentaccountbility,grassroots,ideas,midterms,news,policy,politicalmediocrity,politics,us,usa,vote,washington</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/f8346e673dfaa6593b452c9db0fb1d06.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep 74 - Red Alert: China 8: Xi's Taiwan Strategy Amid the Russia-Ukraine War and US Response</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-74-red-alert-china-8-xi-s-taiwan-strategy-amid-the-russia-ukraine-war-and-us-response--49239230</link><description><![CDATA[While Russia continues its assault against Ukraine and the defending country keeps up its resistance, the Chinese Communist Party is watching the US and Western nations' arguably ineffective responses.

This session is presented by the Herb London Center for Policy Research<br /><br />We discuss how America's Left and Media propagandists have been manipulating both language and policy to gradually comply with Klaus Schwab's dream to concentrate power into a small global elite under the guise of what he calls "fairness and global equity."<br /><br />The Great Reset was originally denounced by Western mainstream media as a "conspiracy theory" despite the WEF and its members explaining the plan in public and in readable text.

This session is presented by the Herb London Center for Policy Research<br /><br />We discuss how America's Left and Media propagandists have been manipulating both language and policy to gradually comply with Klaus Schwab's dream to concentrate power into a small global elite under the guise of what he calls "fairness and global equity."<br /><br />The Great Reset was originally denounced by Western mainstream media as a "conspiracy theory" despite the WEF and its members explaining the plan in public and in readable text. They, however, need to take advantage of mass unrest and the recent COVID-19 pandemic panic to implement their agenda.<br /><br />Our panel also discusses the parallels between the Great Reset and the United Nations' "Agenda 21 (Now Agenda 2030," why politicians on the American Left have weaved "2030" into their political stump speeches as well as media commentary over the past few years and how it all comes together. <br /><br />Panelists:<br />LCPR President LTC (Ret) Tony Shaffer<br />LCPR Sr. Fellow LTC (British Army, Ret) Tim Wilson<br />LCPR Dist.

Contrary to the national media narrative, Pollack learned that gun control laws had nothing to do with why that mass shooting happened. It was, rather, systemic failures in public institutions caused by misguided liberal policies. “The people who blame the gun before they learn the facts,” Pollack says, “are a big part of what people call the ‘root cause’ of mass shootings and violent crime. At the Crime Prevention Research Center, I will focus on finding and disseminating the facts. On saving lives, not on partisan talking points.”]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/42537745</guid><pubDate>Thu, 17 Dec 2020 16:18:48 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/42537745/ep_16_tim_w_and_andrew_p.mp3" length="19378012" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>London Ctr for Policy Research</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, major media outlets swarmed to the the Florida town to cover the murders and promote a very political anti-gun agenda.

Contrary to the national media narrative, Pollack learned that gun control laws had nothing to do with why that mass shooting happened. It was, rather, systemic failures in public institutions caused by misguided liberal policies. “The people who blame the gun before they learn the facts,” Pollack says, “are a big part of what people call the ‘root cause’ of mass shootings and violent crime. At the Crime Prevention Research Center, I will focus on finding and disseminating the facts. On saving lives, not on partisan talking points.”]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1212</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>2a,2ndamendment,advocacy,firearms,firearmstraining,florida,gunfreezomes,gunrights,guns,ideas,interview,parkland,policy,politics,safeschools,safety,schools,schoolsafety,solutions,whymeadowdied</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8c830bdfdb9e7ddb54ffccb587606d21.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep 15  - What Happened to Journalism?

One such man, a banker named Brad Birkenfeld, alerted the feds to the long-running UBS tax shelter scandal.  Instead of being honored for doing this, he was thanked with prosecution by both the Bush 43 and Obama  administrations and sent to jail.
