Description

A SECRETIVE religious group that wields power in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals — sounds like the basis for Dan Brown’s next novel, but it’s real. Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060560053?ie=UTF8&tag=peeringintoda-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0060560053], has been following this group for years, even living at The Family’s headquarters for a time. What he found is a group that justifies its pursuit of political power by claiming that it’s for the kingdom of God. Read Jeff’s original expose of The Family, “Jesus Plus Nothing,” at Harper’s Magazine online. Christians are taking heat for The Family from the likes of The Huffington Post and MSNBC. The irony is that The Family isn’t promoting a Christian agenda, but a New Age agenda. See Constance Cumbey’s five-part series The Family and its Hijacking of Evangelicalism [https://www.newswithviews.com/Cumbey/constanceA.htm].  As Jeff Sharlet asked, where is the outrage from influential evangelicals?

China is Taking America's Silver with Andy Schectman - Sarah Westall

Economist and President of Miles Franklin, Andy Schectman, rejoins the program to discuss the doom-and-gloom headlines dominating today's media landscape. We explore the multiple narratives unfolding simultaneously—from the very real economic hardships many Americans are experiencing to the ways those hardships are being leveraged to fuel fear, uncertainty and inaction. Andy shares his outlook on the challenging economic conditions ahead, what they could mean for investors and everyday Americans, and practical strategies for protecting yourself and your assets. We also discuss China's growing role in the global precious metals market and Andy's claim that suppressed silver prices are allowing China to stand for delivery of U.S. silver in amounts not seen before; more signals that major shifts in the global financial system are coming.
