Annual Fourth of July Show: The Hand of Providence on George Washington

Fourth of July – George Washington and the Incredible Hand of Providence

By Dr Mark | June 25, 2022 | Comments 1 comment

Show Summary: It’s that time of year again: it’s our annual Fourth of July celebration. This year, we are looking back at the Guy, George Washington who got us through the war. Let’s face it. If we hadn’t won the war, the Declaration would have been just an interesting but failed experiment; a side note in history. This week, it’s a fascinating look at a man who was truly born for his time, and had the eternal Hand of Providence on him so many times that his life and what he accomplished was truly a miracle.

This Week – Our 12th Annual Fourth of July Show

How has it been 12 years already? Time flies when you’re keeping an eye on big government I guess, but every year we focus on the Fourth of July and events around it that make the founding of this great country so unique and special.

Previously, we’ve focused on such things as celebrating the Fourth down through History, what those early celebrations looked like. The Declaration of Independence itself, the rights and grievances listed therein. Celebrating the Fourth on the Oregon Trail, the Fourth of July during the Civil War, the first 50 years, major anniversaries, and others. And last year’s focus on the some of the signers of the Declaration (and its predecessor petition).

Looking for something fun and unique to do this Fourth? Celebrate an old fashioned Independence Day at the Newell House at historic Champoeg Park, the birthplace of Oregon. This free event includes a patriotic program with music, food, and a home-baked pie contest and auction.

George Washington

But for this year’s Fourth of July show, we are focusing on the guy. George Washington. The guy who won the war and without whom America might never have existed. Except for a brief, failed attempt at freedom. Squashed by a ruthless king.

We look at his early years, his rural upbringing that often left him feeling inadequate in high society, his involvement in the French and Indian War—which made him a celebrity on both sides of the Atlantic—and the continual Hand of Providence on his life that saved him time and again.

And, naturally, we look at his Revolutionary War accomplishments. His defeats and his victories. And how he persevered through both. We look at his personal struggles too, including getting through the deep betrayal of Benedict Arnold, which Washington blamed himself for and nearly quit.

Tune in to hear about America’s quintessential hero. The man for his time. And a man even King George III came to admire.

Show Summary: 2022 will be all about fighting the woke. First up, we welcome first-time guest, Judge Vance Day, who is running for Position 3 on the Oregon Court of Appeals. If he wins, he’ll be the only Constitutionalist on the court. Then we bring back Scott Shepard, Director of the Free Enterprise Project. With Disney and so many other companies going woke, there is a lot to fight against. Including companies pledging to become Death Companies.

Original Air Dates: May 7, 2022 | Guests: Judge Vance Day & Scott Shepard

This Week – Warriors Fighting the Woke

That kinda sounds like some zombie apocalypse. But, given that the woke don’t know the constitution, don’t know basic civics (or civility for that matter), don’t know economics, and are only driven by their mindless feelings, maybe it’s appropriate.

This is our final show before Oregon’s May 2022 primary. And this year, elections will be all about fighting the woke. Whether its abortion, free speech, religion, or even things like corporations in politics, it’s all about killing zombies. Er, fighting the woke.

Judge Vance Day: Fighting the Woke Before it was Woke

And when it comes to fighting the woke, Judge Vance Day was fighting the woke before the woke was even known as the woke. While serving as a Circuit Court Judge in Marion County, he recused himself from personally officiating at same-sex weddings, which he felt was against his religion.

This greatly angered the woke, as all must bow before whatever the woke is in favor of today.

So the horde (back then, they were just “progressives”) came after him. They tried, unsuccessfully, to drive him from the bench, cancel his law license, strip him of his possessions, ruin his reputation and even have him imprisoned.

Great people. Let’s totally give their side more power.

Tune in to hear Judge Vance Day’s take on what the Oregon Court of Appeals should be like and how he would handle a leak similar to what we saw this past week as an insider leaked the Roe v. Wade draft opinion.

Scott Shepard: Fighting the Woke Corporations

Let’s face it. The woke wouldn’t exist if they didn’t have access to billions of dollars. Of your taxpayer dollars (thanks to politicized issue-funding, like global warming). And billions of donations directly to woke organizations. Like BLM, Antifa, and any number of woke organizations and chapters.

Scott Shepard’s Free Enterprise Project has teamed up with other organizations to form the Boardroom Initiative. Spearheaded by former McDonald’s CEO Ed Rensi, who has said companies have “no business” being in politics.

“Corporations have no business being on the right or the left because they represent everybody there and their sole job is to build equity for their investors.” – Ed Rensi, former McDonald’s CEO

That is straight out of Milton Friedman who said essentially the same thing. The business of business is to create value (profits) for their shareholders.

Tune in to hear Scott’s battle with woke boards at major corporations. Disney is just the most-well-known example as the woke board just lost some 60 billion in shareholder value. Think there won’t be lawsuits…?

And in the wake of the leaked ruling that could overturn Roe v. Wade, that could see federal protections for abortion removed, some major corporations are already lining up to be Death Corporations.

Maybe zombies is the right term after all.

Show Summary: With Easter fast approaching, we welcome back Dr. Scott Powell, author of the book, Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are, to talk in depth about Easter. Its traditions, its history, its meaning, and its importance to America as a national holiday.

This Week – Restoring Easter

We welcome back Dr. Scott Powell, author of the terrific new book, Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are. One of the national holidays he spotlights is Easter.

Rediscovering America - Scott Powell — Rediscovering America is available now!

Easter was the first Christian holiday celebrated by the early church. But coming up through ancient Rome, celebrating the Son of God was not an easy thing to do. And could put one’s life in danger. Tune in to hear why normally “tolerant” Rome (tolerant of other religions and gods, at least) was so intolerant of Christianity.

We also talk with Dr. Powell about Easter’s alleged “pagan origins”, Easter celebrations in the early colonies, and as America grew. And don’t miss fascinating stories about George Washington’s early realization of God’s hand on his life. Or about the Dead Sea scrolls’ authors whose own devotion to preserving the true calendar and holidays and their ties to prophecy led to incredibly accurate predictions of the coming Messiah.

The Growth of Christianity in the Roman Empire (HistoryHit.com, 2018)
- “Since its foundation, Ancient Rome was a deeply religious society and religious and political office often went hand in hand. Julius Caesar was Pontifex Maximums, the highest priest, before he was elected as Consul, the highest Republican political role.”
College of Pontiffs, Ancient Rome (via Wikipedia)
- “The title pontifex comes from the Latin for “bridge builder”, a possible allusion to a very early role in placating the gods and spirits associated with the Tiber River, for instance”
- “The pontifex maximus was the most important member of the college. Until 104 BC, the pontifex maximus held the sole power in appointing members to the other priesthoods in the college.”

Rediscovering America

This week it’s about rediscovering America. Scott Powell’s new book, Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story about Who We Are.

This show looks at how we got to America’s present condition (hint: Marxists) and a look at how we start to climb out of this (hint #2: we need to remember why America is worth fighting for). Scott Powell has been a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and is currently senior fellow at Discovery Institute.

We discuss how America has fallen — and how we do we get it back? Would the Founders recognize the chaos of today? After all, they fought off their own tyranny. Although that was the King, an ocean away; not right here in the halls of our own government.

David Horowitz: “Scott Powell has made a major contribution in the research and writing of Rediscovering America, providing substantive reason for hope and confidence in the midst of troubled times. It may be the first book written in the history genre that lays out the progressive and redemptive course that is America’s greatest legacy.”

Why has America Lost Its Way?

We also talk with him about how our rapid material success as a country was not equaled by a similar and equal rapid progress in spiritual or social progress. This is very much a spiritual war we are going through, not just one of laws and regulations and elections.

And why aren’t the checks and balances—so carefully crafted by our Founding Fathers—not working right now?

“This book was written to defeat the enemies of our republic by equipping readers from all walks of life to get connected to the character and accomplishments of their forebears and the arc of redemption that defines our history. Prior generations of Americans who shared a similar greatness of moral vision and believed in the beauty of freedom and equality sacrificed their all that this nation might be protected, guided, and healed. We are called to do no less.”

We also talk corruption and abuse of power rather than institutional or constitutional failure, are the chief causes of decline in America today, and what you can do to help fix this.

Be sure to tune in — it was such an interesting discussion that we plan to have him back around Easter.

Government IS the Problem – Especially When it Creates the Problems

Show Summary: We all know the Reagan saying: “government isn’t the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.” But it’s worse than that. Because big government has learned there’s lots of money to be made for their political allies by causing the problems.

The I Spy Radio Show airs weekends, six different times, on seven different stations. Listen anywhere through the stations’ live streams! Check out when, where, and how to listen to the I Spy Radio Show. Podcast available Mondays after the show airs on out network of stations.

Original Air Dates: November 13th & 14th, 2021 | Guests: Dr. Lt. Col. Jim Huggins & Chuck Wiese

This week: it’s true: “Government isn’t the solution to the problem, government IS the problem.”

Except in modern-day governance it’s far more than incompetence or inefficiency. Because in modern governance, Big Government has learned there is an awful lot of money to be made for their political allies by creating problems.

Fixing Government: Dr. Lt. Col. Jim Huggins Runs for Governor

This week we welcome first-time guest, Dr. Lt. Col. Jim Huggins to the show. He is running for the Republican candidate for Oregon governor and he has some solutions to the problem of government.

Tune in to hear more about Jim’s unique and varied background. A start in the military, rising to Lt. Colonel in the US Air Force, a move to the private sector and business start ups, academics (not one but two doctorates), teaching, and a career in the entertainment industry by starting his own film production company.

Like many of us, Jim watched in shock and disgust as Left wing activists and mobs burned and looted Portland for 100+ nights while Left wing politicians not only did nothing but praised them. Even dropped charges.

Jim also shares with us what he sees as the major issues and how he would address them. But also, how would he, a non-politician, handle the political and bureaucratic minefield. The same minefield that tripped up President Trump who was constantly sabotaged and undermined by the establishment class.

Big Government Creating Problems

In this week’s show, you’ll hear how government is quite literally creating problems out of thin air. Global Warming. This week, we also talk with Chuck Wiese about the never ending global warming scam, which will apparently only be solved by spending money.

As mentioned: NASA and NOAA temperature tampering documents can be found below, in the Links Section

But we also touch on the origins of the global warming hoax, which, if tried in any other industry sector, would have landed those who’d done it in jail. As Chuck reminds us, NASA and NOAA changed the temperature data to make the past look cooler than it was. By doing so, it artificially make the present (and future) look warmer than it really is.

We wanted to have Chuck on because a “super-important, this time the world really will end if we don’t do something” study showed Global Warming is going to lead to more forest fires.

Hey, Sherlock. If you really believe Global Warming is causing forests to be drier, you should have listened to us decades ago when we said you can’t let dead, dry wood pile up in the forests. And then be “surprised” when big fires happen.

Let it dry. Let it burn. And then let us have money. The democrats’ environmental playbook.

Defending Faith is Defending Freedom

By Dr Mark | November 6, 2021 | Comments 0 Comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Show Summary: Elections all across the nations showed a rejection of Leftist ideology. Have Christians and Conservatives had enough of attacks on their faith — in God and in their country?

Weekends, six different times, on seven different stations. Listen anywhere through the stations’ live streams! Check out when, where, and how to listen to the I Spy Radio Show. Podcast available Mondays after the show airs on out network of stations.

Original Air Dates: November 6th & 7th, 2021 | Guests: Donna Jackson & James Hirsen

This week: defending faith is defending freedom. And on Tuesday, we saw a lot of both as parents rose up to push back on being called “domestic terrorists” by their own government. Especially for exercising their rights of free speech to stand up to school boards determined to shove Marxist ideology and Critical Race Theory garbage on their kids.

As we’ve said for some time now, you won’t see a renewal in America until we see a revival in the Church.

Marxist/Socialist Attacks on Faith

Marxism and all its forms (socialism, communism, etc.) is the enemy of faith. That’s not opinion, that’s fact. Marx famously called religion the drug of the people. That’s because the two cannot coexist. Marxism and socialism will not share space with and cannot tolerate faith in anything other than government.

Donna Jackson from Project 21 joins us as we look at a SCOTUS case where coach Joseph Kennedy was fired for kneeling alone for a moment of prayer after football games and the chilling effect this could have on public officials. But is it time to go on the offense? Clearly, sitting back, staying on the sidelines, and letting things happen has not worked because the professional agitators (paid for with your tax dollars no less), have seized control of the ball. And won’t give up.

With both our guests, we also look at the stunning wins Tuesday night at all levels — and by many who expressed their faith and defense of America and her values, defeating progressives at every level of government. Are we seeing a revival in the face of Leftists trying to reform America?

Wait. Faith in Hollywood?

We’re also joined by James Hirsen, author of the bestselling Tales from the Left Coast. James weighs in on the remarkable rejection of the Left’s ideology in Tuesday’s elections. Some results were practically miraculous. Including on in Buffalo, NY, which we hadn’t heard about.

But is there, perhaps, even in revival happening in Hollywood?

More actors open up about their faith, sharing about God’s role in their lives. But this has its dangers too. As many actors, in mostly-Godless Hollywood have found out.

Have Faith. In God, in America

What do you think? Are we seeing a revival across America? A revival of faith and a revival of pro-America? And what do we need to do to keep this rolling?

Original Air Dates: June 5th & 6th, 2021 | L. A. Marzulli

This Week: We take a turn to the, well, a bit unusual. For us at least. But with the official UFO disclosure looming, we wanted to give you some information and grounding. Because for some people, especially Christians, the Defense Department’s UFO Disclosure could be upsetting. Even worldview shaking.

UFO Disclosure: What is it?

The famous "Rhodes Photograph" of a UFO over Phoenix in 1947 — The Rhodes Photograph of a UFO over Phoenix, 1947. Click for full size.

You may have seen videos of UFOs (or UAPs as they’re now known—”Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”) zooming across the water on shows like Tucker Carlson. Some videos have been leaked over the last few years. Navy

pilots broke their silence about what they’ve seen. But here’s the odd part. The military was okay with it. Not only that, but they even authenticated the leaked videos. What is going on?

For decades, the military and intelligence kept silent about UFOs. They ridiculed people who came forward. They punished leakers. But now they’re confirming these stories?

Did you know? Some of the best photos of UFOs, which haven’t been debunked, was taken right here in Oregon? See the McMinnville UFO photographs.

When President Trump signed the covid relief bill into law on December 27, 2020, it included a deadline. The Defense Department had 180 days to put together an official, unclassified UFO Disclosure. And release it to the public. And 180 days puts it on June 25th, 2021.

What can we expect from the UFO Disclosure?

Recent UFO sighting from cockpit — A Dec 2020 UFO picture. Note how the basic shape is similar to the 1947 Rhodes photo. Click for full size.

No one knows. At least not for certain. It’s an unclassified report so there’s a chance it could be quite tame. But given the videos already released, it could be quite explosive.

The Senate is to receive their own classified version of the UFO disclosure. That nay focus more on national defense aspects. Or it could contain even more sensational, more earth-shattering details that they just don’t think the public is ready for.

What could UFO Disclosure mean for Christians?

Of course, a lot of it depends on what’s in the UFO disclosure. If it’s a giant nothing burger, it won’t mean anything to Christians — or to anyone else. But right now, that’s looking unlikely. Why? Given what’s already been released (and confirmed) to the public, this is likely going to up the ante.

So, given that, Disclosure could shake Christians’ worldview. After all, the Bible even says (paraphrasing here) that what’s coming upon the Earth could deceive even the Elect. If the Bible says it could shake the faith of Christians, perhaps Christians should take this seriously.

As Christians, our faith is in the supernatural – and yet isn’t it odd that so many Christians are reluctant to talk about the supernatural? But we need to in order to combat the coming secular narrative which will undoubtedly attack the Christian worldview. Here’s just one example.

Did Aliens, not God, Create Us? And are They Coming Back?

If you’ve watched the Ancient Alien show on the History Channel, you know that secular ufologists (people who study UFOs), believe we’ve been visited by aliens since the dawn of humanity. And these aliens posed as (or were assumed to be) the gods of the ancient past.

Mainstream scientists have picked this up and have recently adopted panspermia as an alternate theory to explain our origins. In part, this is due to the inherent weaknesses of both the big bang theory and the theory of evolution. Why? Because life is far, far too complex to have happened by mere chance.

Basically, panspermia is the theory that mankind didn’t evolve. We were instead “seeded” here by advanced alien races. Which falls in line with the Ancient Aliens theory that a race of beings known as the Annunaki created us because they needed manual labor.

Are they coming back now? Is that what Disclosure will expose?

L. A. Marzulli, UFO Researcher — From a Biblical Point of View

L. A. Marzulli is an author, film maker, and researcher. And that includes UFOs. Why? Because who (or what) is driving those UFOs is, he believes, answered right there in the Bible.

Tune in to hear why L. A. believes the UFOs are not being piloted by little green men (or gray) from other planets. Instead, UFOs are advanced technology, from fallen angels. Why?

It makes sense from a Biblical standpoint. And answers so many questions Christians have about the seemingly “cruel” God of the Old Testament. Why, for example, did a “loving God” want the Israelites to completely wipe out entire tribes of people? Men, women, children—in some cases even their animals.

The reason starts with Genesis 3:15. And is later expanded on in Genesis 6. And without understanding these elements of the Biblical story, the rest of the story, including the coming of the Messiah, doesn’t make sense.

Don’t miss this show to get all the answers.

The Coming UFO Disclosure

US intelligence agencies have 180 days to share what they know about UFOs, thanks to the Covid-19 relief and spending bill (CNN, Jan 10, 2021)
- That report must contain detailed analyses of UFO data and intelligence collected by the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and the FBI, according to the Senate intelligence committee’s directive.
- It should also describe in detail “an interagency process for ensuring timely data collection and centralized analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena reporting for the Federal Government” and designate an official responsible for that process.
- Finally, the report should identify any potential national security threats posed by UFOs and assess whether any of the nation’s adversaries could be behind such activity, the committee said.
Covid bill includes 180-day countdown for Pentagon to make UFO disclosures (The Independent, Dec 30, 2021)

Even in 2020, there are miracles. Today’s guest is himself a bit of a miracle. Raised in a devout Islamic family that sent him to jihadist training school while he was still a child, Kamal Saleem was commissioned to go to America and destroy it from within. That is until a miracle happened.

Kamal Saleem’s Miraculous Conversion

cultrual jihad, a real and sinister threat to America. Watch this incredible video of one former cultural jihadist — A former cultural jihadist – watch the incredible video of Kamal’s journey.

A terrible car accident broke his neck, but Kamal was surrounded by the love of devout Christians who nursed him back to health and saved him — not just from death but from the lies and hatred of radical Islam.

Watch the incredible, miracle that led to Kamal leaving the hatred of Islam behind, to embrace the love of Christianity

Kamal now leads Koome Ministries. Their mission is to see Ishmael Redeemed.

Christmas War

Wait. Christmas? War?

Yes. Christmas is known as a time of Peace on Earth but it was really, when you think about it, a declaration of war: Jesus coming to earth to declare war on the realm of Satan and that his dominance over the Earth and mankind was coming to an end.

And right now, there is still a war. For our freedoms and liberties that are enshrined in the Constitution, which recognized God’s desire for mankind to be free. Sorry, liberals. That’s just how it is. Yet we see democrat governors throughout the U.S. trying to take these God-given rights away.

Peace in the Middle East?

But it is a time of peace. And we take some time to talk with Kamal, who grew up in Lebanon, about the Trump peace deals between Israel and its former adversaries. Morocco. The U.A.E. Bahrain. Sudan. And others in the works.

What will happen to these fledgling deals if Biden manages to steal the election? And what would happen with Iran? We already know Biden wants to re-up the Iran Deal. Could this spell disaster in the region? Because there is another, historic—and prophetic—deal that’s shaping up. Between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

This would, quite literally, be a deal of Biblical proportions. Tune in to hear how this deal would be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy!

Corona Virus Lockdown: Good Friday, Good Questions, Bad Models

Show Summary: Oregon doubles down on its Corona virus lockdown. Based on bad models. How long will churches and businesses put up with it? Plus questions from listeners.

Air Dates: April 11th & 12th, 2020 | Dr. Bud Pierce & Pastor Jeff Poush

This Week: Oregon’s Corona virus lockdown continues, in spite of models that have proven consistently to be consistently wrong. Which leaves us to wonder, why is the corona virus lockdown still in place?

One of the questions that has truly troubled us at I Spy is, if we’ve spent billions on healthcare in Oregon and 100s of billions nationally, where did all that money go? Especially in light of how unprepared medical providers were for a crisis.

Does anyone remember when Governor Kitzhaber ran on the fact that “we must be prepared” — and then tossed Oregon’s healthcare system on its ear in in his grand “health care transformation”? But from all reports coming out of Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and media services, prepared has turned into an oxymoron.

Corona Virus Lockdown: Questions for Bud Pierce

In our Part Two interview with Dr. Bud Pierce, an oncologist and hematologist specialist, we take on the numbers. Numbers that are being put out by Oregon’s own OHA, along with those from the federal governments, that depend on models so very reminiscent of climate change models. Overblown and/or unreliable but designed to evoke responses from the public.

Are Corona Virus “Deaths” Reliable?

One question we have is about the deaths. Deaths that, according to CDC guidelines, are being attributed to COVID-19 even without tests to verify they did, in fact, have the virus.

Theoretically, according to the guidelines, if you committed suicide, and might have had COVID-19, then Corona virus could be listed on the death certificate as the cause of death. Thus adding to the total of Coronavirus deaths. Is this just a little odd? We talk to Dr. Pierce what protocols are in place for how corona virus deaths are counted along with other troubling methods being used. And do we do this for other diseases?

28% of US Counties have NO cases.
80% of US Counties have 25 cases or less.
86% of all cases located in just 6% of US Counties.

Why is no one with a megaphone telling you these facts?

It’s not a conspiracy.

They’re just not good at the big picture.

Or good at math.

Listener Questions

We also wanted to have him back on to ask a question we’d wanted to ask him last week: What will we do next year when virus and flu season starts up again? Plus. We ask him questions from listeners who wrote in this week, wanting to know such things as the reliability of the numbers being used? Can the virus be transferred to pets? Has the curve flattened here in Oregon? And does he ever see a time when we go back to handshakes and hugs?

Corona Virus Lockdown’s Impact on Churches

Which leads us into the second half of our show, and the impact of Gov. Kate’s decision on large groups — especially churches.

With it being Easter weekend we brought in Pastor Jeff Poush of Salem First Baptist. During the pandemic when so much of our focus is on our physical health and the health of on our economy, what can people do for their spiritual health? We ask Pastor Poush the efforts his church is undertaking to support the spiritual health of their members during a time of physical separation and social distancing.

What If the Corona Virus Lockdown Continues?

We also discuss how the pandemic and ban on large groups has affected his church. And what if this continues? Are there concerns for churches regarding First Amendment rights? And how not gathering as a congregation may impact future events for churches? And, with it being Easter weekend, we find out some of the inspirational and exciting things Pastor Poush and his colleagues’ have planned for Easter morning service.

Don’t miss this informative and uplifting show. For Easter, it’s a time of renewal — and perhaps that’s the message to take to heart.
