July 26, 2014 – Archives\/Pod Casts\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 1 <\/a> –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 2<\/a> –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hour 3<\/a><\/p>\n

Hour 1:\u00a0 Jeb Taylor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Returning to Amerika Now during the first hour is author and world-renowned artifacts dealer Jeb Taylor,<\/strong> who will be discussing the problems that threaten civilization and what it will take to achieve sustainability.\u00a0 Jeb is the author of Saving Civilization.<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

Around 12,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East, a small group of migratory foragers decided to settle down and adopt agriculture as their primary subsistence strategy.\u00a0 That decision was probably made in an attempt to enhance survival\u00a0 security, which it probably most certainly did\u2013at least over the short term.\u00a0 However, it also inadvertently set humanity on a course of competitive artificial development that has severely and negatively impacted other members of our species, other species, and the environment:\u00a0 conditions which now threaten, rather than enhance, our long-term survival prospects.<\/p>\n

If we continue on this irresponsible course, says Taylor, there will be a time in the not-too-distant future when we will exhaust Earth\u2019s capacity to sustain us, at which time, civilization as we know it will collapse.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tonight, Taylor will offer a frank discussion about civilization, what has brought it to the brink of collapse, and the obstacles that must be overcome before we can achieve sustainability.\u00a0 He’ll emphasize the problems that threaten civilization, and how he’s convinced that achieving sustainability is dependent upon our becoming more aware, which will require that we transcend our ideological beliefs.<\/p>\n

Jeb Taylor finds the world he\u2019s leaving his granddaughter a troubling one.\u00a0 After waiting years for someone to write a book addressing the urgent problems staring humanity in the face, a heart condition was his final push.\u00a0 He believes the concept of putting off today\u2019s problems for future generations to solve is immoral.\u00a0 For several years, Jeb adapted to living in wilderness locations throughout the North American West Coast, picking up aboriginal skills.\u00a0 He is now a world-renowned artifacts dealer.<\/p>\n

Hour 2:\u00a0 Ken Collier<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"Joining the show during the second hour to discuss emergency preparedness is the Editor-in-Chief of The Family Handyman<\/strong><\/em>, <\/em>Ken Collier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summer is meant to be a time for fun in the sun, but it’s also when we experience some of the most extreme and dangerous weather.\u00a0 Heat-induced blackouts and flooding aren’t just common nuisances, they can pose serious risks to both your property and your safety.<\/p>\n

Tonight Ken will share some of the best tips and tricks for weathering disasters, as compiled by the editors at The Family Handyman<\/em>, the #1 publication in DIY and home improvement.<\/p>\n

Some of the topics Ken will talk about include anticipating power surges or blackouts, what to do when flooding occurs, how to prepare an emergency preparedness kit, and why you need to be prepared at all times.<\/p>\n

Ken was raised in New Jersey, but found his true home in Minnesota. He studied to become a paleontology professor, but got distracted and ended up as a cabinetmaker. He started working at The Family Handyman<\/em> 20 years ago as a freelance woodworking columnist, held half a dozen editorial positions, and is now the Editor-in-Chief.\u00a0 Along the way, he wrote about how to build a sailboat and unclog a toilet, helped launch The Family Handyman<\/em> in Australia, got the magazine on the Web, edited American Woodworker<\/em> magazine, and produced more than 100 covers. He\u2019s most proud of coming up with the \u201cGreat Goofs\u201d department, originally based on his own DIY blunders. He lives with his wife and younger son in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a 100-year-old constant-fixer-upper, and goes camping every month of the year.<\/p>\n

Hour 3:\u00a0 Dan Perkins<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Author and registered investment advisor Dan Perkins<\/strong> joins Amerika Now during the final hour to discuss his trilogy of books about a new type of terrorist organization he’s imagined called The Brotherhood of the Red Nile:\u00a0 A Terrorist Perspective; The Brotherhood of the Red Nile:\u00a0 America Rebuilds; <\/strong><\/em>and The Brotherhood of the Red Nile:\u00a0 America Responds.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Perkins, money, not politics or ideology, is the root of terrorism and \"BrotherhoodofRedNileBook1BOOKCOVER\"religion is merely a recruiting ground.\u00a0 His fictional terrorist organization, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, is unlike previous terrorist groups.\u00a0 They have smarter planners who have learned from past mistakes, experts at their disposal, and also have the ultimate weapon.\u00a0 His stories are as current as today’s headlines.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Dan will talk about whether something like what he describes in his books could happen in the U.S.\u00a0 In addition, he’ll discuss why money is the root of terrorism and how his analytical experience as a money manager prepared him for the incredible amount of research he did in writing on terrorism and explosives.<\/p>\n

Award-winning Producer Chase Chenowith has optioned the first book for a major motion picture.\u00a0 “With the untimely death of American author and historian Tom Clancy, readers will be searching for a new writer in the same genre,” said Chenowith.\u00a0 “I believe Perkins writes with the same type of suspense and intrigue that was so successful for Mr. Clancy.”<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan Perkins is a registered investment advisor with over 40 years in the money management business.\u00a0 In addition, he uses storytelling to help wounded soldiers.\u00a0 Currently, he\u2019s working with the USO and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to create a foundation called \u201cSongs and Stories for Soldiers,\u201d which will allow wounded soldiers to download books or music through mp3 players.<\/p>\n
