Things I Think About

My guest today is Lynn Lusby Pratt; a missionary in Tokyo for 10 years, as well as an editor in Christian publishing and a published author. She has studied the occult and world religions for over 50 years and has a unique perspective of their effect on society and culture. Topics discussed include: Why is it important to understand the meanings of words as it pertains to theology, spirituality, new age and Christianity? How eastern religion and occult teachings have slipped into the church  If someone is reading books on Christianity, how can they discern information based on Christianity vs Christianity with occult/new age practices?  Many people think that by going to church they are receiving the traditional beliefs/teaching of that church/religion, but it really seems like that might not be true, what can you tell us about that? What is the real agenda behind the growing perversity in pop culture and government? Specifically, the pro-pedophilia movement being marketed as "minor attraction."

Today my guest is RL Shawver, author of “For This Child I Have Prayed.” I asked him about his faith journey and how he endured the ordeal of his son undergoing 6 heart surgeries in his first 18 months. We also discuss the challenges of parenting in a society seeking increasingly to sexualize children and normalize pedophilia.

My guest today is simply brilliant. I have the privilege of chatting with Ralph Bayrer, Navy veteran and author of multiple books; among them, “Eternal Vigilance: Guarding Against the Predatory State” and “Liberty, Science, and Wealth: The Evolution to Modern Society.” • Many Americans look at what’s happening in our nation right now and there is concern that we’re losing freedoms or certain liberties are at risk. Why was this issue so important to you that you actually wrote a book about it? • Based on the topics discussed in your books, it is obvious that you feel that the gov’t is intrusive, how do you think this is putting our freedom’s at risk? • In your book you mention “central argument is that man’s discovery of ways to successfully cooperate with his fellow man on community, national and global scales in the face of ubiquitous predatory instincts is his greatest achievement and foundation for all advanced civilizations.” Do you think that we are losing the ability to successfully cooperate in America? • You also mention in your book that other countries have had to deal with the negative facts of human nature have succeeded and provided lessons for us going forward – can you talk about some of the lessons they have given us? • You talk about predation in government, can you explain what you mean by this and how it aligns with what is occurring today? • Based on the deviant behavior displayed by many in politics, do you think that America is heading towards to a dictatorship type of society? • Tell us what you’ve seen the gov’t do to fix our economy in the past? As a result what are we seeing/experiencing today? Do you think they are overstepping their bounds based on the US Constitution?

Sometimes children can really surprise you with their wit, wisdom and insights. Case in point, I had a chat with Andrew Wang about world events, history and ever increasing popularity of his YouTube channel. I was blown away by his charisma and passion for history. Most of all, I was most impressed that my interviewee was only 9 years old. Tune in to this podcast now! I think you will be amazed by what you hear.  ABOUT MY GUEST My name is Andrew Wang and I love to talk about the secret, misconceptions about life and the corrupt school system, history and sometimes politics😅. I "know" how the mind works and why people don't do what they want. I believe that religion is not a big clump of baloney, but simply one way of looking at the universe( this is not an religion), the world around us, which is formed by a formless substance, in our mind, that is made of nothing, and makes up everything. everything is not hiding from you, you are hiding from it, its waiting for you to come out and take a hold on it. I hate the misconception that kids are dumb and elders are wise. there are many wise kids out there, and there are many dumb elders too! thank you for watching and supporting my channel! Andrew's blah blah https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpqw_UBrnDdfL4GQiWgOo6A  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/support

Besides the medical field in which he trained he has been involved in cutting edge technologies across a wide spectrum.

Today I speak with Steven LaTulippe, MD about how he has been treated since speaking out against the Covid mandates and where he is with his legal battles. We speak further about traveling without a mask, vaccine updates and the politicization of healthcare. We also discuss the conflict in Ukraine and the Big Reset agenda.

In 1970, Yuri Bezmenov, a 31-year-old KGB officer specializing in propaganda, defected to Canada. Bezmenov (also known as Tomas Schuman) was sickened by the oppressive nature and toll of communist totalitarianism, and wanted to devote his life to educating Western nations, America in particular, on what he and the KGB had been doing to us, to undermine and ultimately destroy our societies. In 1984, Bezmenov published a small book, Love Letter to America, in which he explained, in great detail, how the Communists running the USSR were working to destroy America—not using physical weapons, but through what he described as “cultural subversion.” source Due to a multitude of memes and short clips on social networks, Bezemonov is becoming more famous than ever. I discuss the cultural significance of Bezmenov with my guest Cason Pratt. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/support

This episode of The Jim Stroud Show was challenging to produce due to several technical issues during recording. So much so, I could not produce it as part of my video series. Nevertheless, the information provided by my guest was so jaw-dropping amazing that I had to publish it. My guest today is IQ Rassooli, is no stranger to controversy. I have spoken to him on several occasions, and I have yet to see his face. Why? His biography will give you some insight. And this is a quote... IQ al Rassooli is a pen name to protect myself from being murdered for revealing the truth about Islam (the Cult of Muhammad). I was born in Baghdad Iraq, My mother tongue is Arabic.  My parents sent me to Europe to study where I was able to access libraries and get informed. I was intrigued to find out if the Biblical names and verses in Muhammad’s Quran, corresponded with those in the Bible. I was utterly shocked to find out, not only did they not correspond but they are totally wrong, misleading, and uninformative. This launched me on a 30 years of research during which I had to study and absorb not only Muhammad’s Quran but also the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. By the time I finished, I had absolutely no doubt – based entirely on the Islamic sources – that Muhammad was a charlatan and a pathological liar and most important of all, that his god Allah is most definitely NOT the same as the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus, thus instantly discrediting Muhammad as an alleged prophet as well as the impossibility of a divinely revealed Quran. Do you now have an idea why he keeps his identity secret? Some people, quite literally, want him dead. In our time together, IQ and I discussed a LOT of things, among them were these.... China and Islam are the biggest threats to America The deadly difference between Sharia-compliant and non-Sharia compliant Muslims The history of conflict within the Islamic tradition Why muslims have more success converting prisoners in jail than Christians What are abbrogated verses? Is it true that to be a friend to Jews and Christians is to be an enemy of Islam? Did you know that the hijab is not in the Quran? And maybe most shocking of all, did you know that Putin was a Christian? Our chat went on for an hour and could have continued for twice as long. This is one episode you do NOT want to miss. Buckle up! Its going to be a bumpy ride.

In my interview with Amy Travis we discussed the culture wars and how the left seeks a government solution for everything. What so many see as progressive, I see as an attempt to remove God from our society. Ultimately, I don't think they will because God is greater than government; and always will be.

Husband, Father, Marine, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Political Activist and 2018 Libertarian candidate for Governor of New York State. In a nutshell, that's Larry Sharpe but there is so much more to this intriguing personality. In my conversation we discussed everything wrong with our political system, his political aspirations, the culture wars and who would likely run on the Democratic ticket in 2024. We also took a deep dive into what Libertarians believe and their increasing significance in our hyper-polarized society. I walked away thinking about his ideas - a lot. They made a lot of sense to me, and I think they could work. I really do. All that is needed is the attention of the American people and the will to make a difference. I hope it happens.
