400-408 – Ken Timmerman, investigative reporter, witness to the persecuted church, president of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (iran.org), bestselling author, and now candidate for Congress from the 8th District in Maryland, against Nancy Pelosi supporter Chris Van Hollen (timmermanforcongress.com).  Ken was also the guy who interviewed the three Iranian defectors in the federal court case in New York in December that has found Iran responsible for 911 (iran911case.com).  Today we start on the horrible weather in DC, and how it's a glimmer of what an EMP attack would do.

428-438 – (From the Internet, Original Source Unknown)  IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STUFF – The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.  The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff  want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!  Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.  So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.  We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.  Now understand this.  All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded.  The reason?  The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.  The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago.  The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff.  We have one chance to change that.  In 2012.  Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

443-452 – KEY WILSONIAN THEORIES –  Essentially, Visionary Leadership and Scientific Administration.  The intellectual roots of which are the following.  Darwin must replace Newton.  Reverence for the law inhibits reform.  An organic-living Constitution must replace the mechanistic-limited Constitution.  Publius had hoped separation of powers and representation would advance deliberation but it has yielded only deadlock, I (Wilson) will also advance a separation – the separation of politics from administration, allowing democracy for the first time to be both efficient and effective.   Separation of powers reduces to checks and balances, and a series of weak presidents has given political control to the legislature – we need a more powerful Executive who will staff the government with efficient, non-partisan "experts" to break the deadlock.

458-508 – Roger Thurow wrote for the Wall Street Journal for 30 years, 20 of them as a foreign correspondent in Europe and Africa – reporting from over two-dozen African countries on the humanitarian and development crises.  After leaving the Journal, he joined the Chicago Council on Global Affairs as Senior Fellow for Global Agriculture and Food Policy.  His new book is entitled The Last Hunger Season: A Year in an African Farm Community on the Brink of Change (2012) (TheLastHungerSeason.com).  His weekly "Outrage and Inspire" column appears on the Council's Global Food for Thought blog (globalfoodforthought.typepad.com).

558-608 – Joseph and Gilbert Hovsepian produce media for the underground and persecuted Christians in their homeland of Iran – including feature films, documentaries, and faith-based music videos (theothersideofiran.com).  Their father, the Rev. Haik Hovsepian, was the leader of the evangelical church in Iran, before he was martyred in Iran in 1994 – it is still his passion that continues to inspire them.  Their brother Andre directed the award-winning documentary about their father entitled A Cry From IranGilbert is a musician who's produced over 35 Persian albums.  Their TV program, "House of Worship," enables the underground church in Iran to have live worship.  Remember, the Iranian population is about 70 million, and 70% – or 49 million of them – are under the age of 35.
