	Open Lines with Ian
	Friday December 19, 2008

During Open Lines, Ian Punnett fielded calls which ran the gamut of high strangeness genres. Stories shared by callers included a swamp creature sighting, a Bohemian Grove conspiracy, and an uplifting angel encounter. Arthur from Willoughby, Ohio put forth his theory on UFOs, saying that they were "future generations that are coming back but cannot break the paradox and cannot contact us." He speculated that these time travelers were returning to our era for "historical data." Among the more exotic calls was Dave in Hamilton, Ontario, who said that he'd received an "epiphany, revelation, and a vision" that the activation of CERN was to cause the end of the world. Luckily, he said, "because it didn't go online, we survived." ... More

	Generations & the 4th Turning
	Tuesday September 30, 2008

Historian and speaker Neil Howe discussed his work on generations and how they shape history, as well as the twenty year cycle of crisis facing the U.S. He cited different archetypal generations that tend to repeat in the same order, shaping American history since the 17th century. Currently we have:'G.I.s' (born from 1901 to 1924),'Silent' (born from 1925 to 1942),'Boomers' (1943 to 1960),'Gen X-ers' (1961 to 1981), andMillennials (1982 and beyond).Each of these generations embodies different characteristics that are a product of their time, and what preceded them, he explained. Each group turns a corner on the generation before them, and Howe has categorized four repeated cycles or "turnings," that each last for around twenty years. We are in the midst of the 4th Turning, a time of enormous public risk and upheaval, said Howe. Among the predictions he and co-author, the late William Strauss made back in 1997 about the 4th Turning: fiscal crisis tax rebellion global ... More

	Environmental Health Threats
	Saturday August 23, 2008

Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic, discussed how chemicals in the environment and the foods we eat threaten our health and well-being. Researchers have found a link between obesity and perfluorinated compounds found in Teflon surfaces and microwavable popcorn bags, Baker said. These chemicals once released into the environment never breakdown, she added, noting that banned substances DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) and PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) are still detectable.Baker said 38 world experts have written a consensus statement regarding the adverse affects of Bisphenol A, a compound found in baby and sports bottles. According to her research, exposure to Bisphenol A and similar chemicals may have led to an increase in breast and prostate cancers, urogenital abnormalities in male babies, a decline of semen quality in men, and early puberty in young girls.Children and pets may be at risk from polybrominated flame retardants used in television se ...

	Meet Jesus Christ
	Sunday June 8, 2008

Ian Punnett was joined by Jesus Christ, who discussed his life and teachings. Regarding the various interpretations of his time on Earth, Christ said, "there is specificity to who I am, the things I did, the things I said, and a purpose for which I came. And I don't like when people try to mutate that."Explaining why he is portrayed differently in each of the four Biblical gospels, Christ attributed it to the fact that each book had a different author with their own perception of the events that took place. These different perspectives notwithstanding, Christ said that "they're all right in conjunction with one another. And that's the beauty of the harmony of scripture." He lamented that some people do not read the Bible with that harmony in mind and, instead, "just take what they want and leave what they don't want." Christ also discussed why much of his teachings were contained in parables, instead of in clearer directions. He said that the reasoning behind this method ... More

	Illuminati's Agenda
	Monday April 10, 2006

Researcher of esoteric history, Alan Watt discussed how ultra high level sects have controlled the course of history to a pre-determined goal and are still in power. Currently, the agenda of the group he referred to as the Illuminati is a kind of "world planning" in which the population would be massively cut back in order to create a more pristine environment for the 500 million or so that remain. This might be achieved by a "scientific dictatorship" denying food to countries that overpopulate, he outlined, and chaos installed by pandemics, quakes and war, that would ready a populace for control by a "new world order." Among those behind such plans, he pointed towards the upper echelon of societies such as the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, the Rhodes Foundation, futurist think tanks and the creators of the Project for the New American Century. Ultimately the Illuminati seek to create a new clone type, hermaphroditic in nature, that could replicate itself on space journe ... More

	Special: UAE Port Controversy
	Wednesday February 22, 2006

In this special program, six guests addressed the controversial United Arab Emirates port deal, which would put Dubai Ports World in charge of running major US shipping ports.In order of appearance: Maritime Master Capt. Kelly Sweeney suggested that the issue wasn't so much who owned the ports, but what security measures were being taken to ensure safety to Americans. He strongly believes we need increased Coast Guard inspections and that every shipping container should be screened for radioactivity.Consultant Charles R. Smith commented that the UAE have been close military allies to the United States and have no obvious associations with terrorists. Yet like the Saudis, their country may harbor many enemies to the US, he noted.Author Steve Quayle said "something doesn't pass the smell test" on the UAE deal, and related it to a larger "globalist" agenda that seeks to bring down the US financial structure in order to install a one-world economy.

	Prophecies of Billy Meier
	Saturday November 12, 2005

Michael Horn, the American representative for ET contactee Billy Meier, returned to discuss some of the prophecies Meier has made over the years. Of particular interest, said Horn, was Meier's statements that seemed to reference the current unrest in France. "Italy and France will be shaken, due to revolutionaries, who murderously and by arson destroy every order (1981)…" and "France will not only be invaded by the aggressors from the outside, but will also be conquered from within… [by] many foreigners of a different religion living in France at that time…specifically Islam (1987)."Horn reported that Meier was telepathically taught 1.2 million symbols by his Pleiadian (Plejaren) contacts, as a kind of pictographic language for understanding them. As far back as 1951, he was issuing prophecies related to climate change, ozone damage, cross species pandemics and worldwide weather anomalies, said Horn.The Plejarens, according to Horn, have told Meier, that the US is headed for ...
