On August 4, 2022, Kim Monson explores the psychological warfare being waged against American citizens with Discovery Institute senior fellow Scott S. Powell, examines homeschooling alternatives with Christian Home Educators of Colorado Executive Director Stephen Craig, discusses property rights and the housing market with REMAX Alliance realtor Karen Levine, and investigates threats to American food security with Colorado rancher Gerald Schreiber.
Scott S. Powell argues that the United States faces an unconventional war without kinetic weapons. In his essay “World War III is Here,” Powell describes how globalist cabals both within and outside American borders wage psychological operations designed to confuse and demoralize citizens. The attack comes disguised under banners like the Green New Deal, the Great Reset, Build Back Better, and Social Justice.
Powell traces the ideological lineage from the Bolshevik Revolution through Soviet communism to modern Chinese strategy. He cites Sun Tzu’s principle that the supreme art of war is subduing the enemy without fighting. Fear serves as the primary weapon, as demonstrated during the COVID pandemic when images from Wuhan showing apartment buildings welded shut spread globally to justify lockdowns and extraordinary government measures.
Despite the challenges, Powell offers hope through spiritual renewal and civic engagement. His book Rediscovering America: How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are serves as what he calls a “historical and spiritual warfare manual” to equip readers for the ideological battle ahead.
“Unlike our opponents, we have a risen Savior, and that Savior can live in our lives and empower us to do remarkable things.”

Stephen Craig explains the explosion of homeschooling enrollment since the COVID pandemic. As Executive Director of Christian Home Educators of Colorado, Craig helps families navigate the legal requirements and curriculum options for teaching their children at home. CHEC offers an August 13th introductory seminar covering Colorado law and the nuts and bolts of homeschooling.
Craig emphasizes that parents are their children’s first and best teachers. Many parents discovered during pandemic closures that they could provide better education than government-run schools. The organization serves families of all faiths, helping them understand the various pathways including notice and intent with school districts or operating under a private school umbrella.
“You are equipped as a parent to be your child’s teacher, and you don’t have to know everything on day one. You learn and you grow with them as they grow.”

Karen Levine highlights opportunities in the changing Colorado housing market. Despite market shifts, Americans continue to value homeownership and work creatively to achieve it. Levine attended a KB Homes community presentation in Arvada, noting that KB continues offering buyers the freedom to select finishes and upgrades while many builders eliminated customization options during supply chain disruptions.
The conversation turns to the political assault on homeownership. Levine and Kim discuss how globalist elites prefer citizens in rental units that generate wealth for corporations rather than individuals. Government policies including transit-oriented development and urban growth boundaries have made homeownership increasingly expensive. Levine volunteers hundreds of hours at local, county, state, and national levels advocating for property rights and homeownership opportunities.
“We are a creative group of citizens, and so we always look at how, as the market is changing, what are the new strategies? What are the new ways to help people gain home ownership?”
Karen Levine, Realtor, RE-MAX Alliance
Gerald Schreiber sounds the alarm on threats facing American beef producers. Operating a cow-calf operation on Colorado’s eastern plains and representing R-CALF USA, Schreiber describes how four packers now control 85% of beef harvesting capacity, with two being Brazilian-owned companies. JBS has faced over $200 million in fines and criminal convictions in Brazil for corruption.
One in five pounds of beef consumed in America comes from imports, yet consumers cannot identify the source. The Product of USA label means only that beef was repackaged domestically, not that it originated here. Since 2015, country-of-origin labeling requirements were eliminated for pork and beef, removing consumer choice. Schreiber urges support for Senate Bill 2716, the American Beef Labeling Act, to restore transparency.
Energy costs compound producer struggles. Diesel over $5 per gallon has pushed loaded-mile trucking costs to $6. Fertilizer costs have tripled or quadrupled. The administration’s policies, combined with drought conditions, squeeze independent producers while multinational corporations profit from cheap foreign imports.
“We import one out of every five pounds of beef consumed in this country. And I don’t think most people are aware of it.”
