Download Audio Download VideoU.S. Democracy in Danger?
The international media claims that the US government’s reaction to the release of documents by WikiLeaks is a greater threat to democracy than any information revealed. We hear of intolerable censorship and unconstitutional conduct. What is going on in America? Do we really have to fear for our individual liberties and freedom?

Download Audio Download VideoTrust in the USA Gone
The release of secret diplomatic memos by Wikileaks caused incalculable damage for the USA. Notwithstanding some nice lip services from embarrassed politicians, the overall consensus in the European media is that the revelations are a disaster for America, hugely damaging and a political meltdown for US foreign policy, and that they expose the superpower’s weaknesses and create a crisis for German-American relations with unpredictable consequences. One German paper wrote that Americas reserve of trust is empty and those documents are like a weapon of mass destruction on the last traces of trust. Why is all of this happening? The answer, even though VERY clear, might surprise you.

Some predict that the euro-zone will disintegrate and that the euro is finished. But what would be the practical consequences, if the euro-zone countries were to abandon the euro and replace it with national currencies?

The Church of Greece insists that the number 666 must not appear on microchips, ID or citizen cards, bar codes on goods or electronic checks, as that number is “associated with antichrist” (AFP, November 17, 2010). But what is the truth regarding the number 666? What does the book of Revelation tell us about it?
Download Audio Download VideoOur National Decline–WHY?
The bad news for the US this week has been staggering: “Brace for a much weaker dollar!” “The dollar will further devaluate!” “Expect another financial crisis and inflation!” “The dollar will come crashing down!” Are “bank holidays” in the making? In addition, the rift between the US and Europe is widening! “Germany has put itself on a collision course with the US,” we read. And, “Never before has the Merkel government had such a direct confrontation with the United States.” What does this all mean? Why is this happening? And what CAN we expect to occur next?
Download Audio Download VideoNow–A Change for the US?
The midterm elections resulted in a no-confidence vote for President Obama and the Democrats, but they were not a confidence vote for the Republicans, either. The big loser seemed to have been Washington. Will the US recover from its decline, or is the American Dream over? At the same time, Germany is emerging as Europe’s leader, and the EU needs, but fears, German pre-eminence. Still, the Economist feels that Germany will “shape Europe, and therefore the world.”
