Beyond the Matrix

Ira & Rod discuss the oxymoron that is “Islamaphobia.” A term used not to protect Muslims from persecution, but to silence the critics of a group of fanatics that want to see the world’s opposition to Sharia law removed. The guys are joined by well known blogger, Leslie Ann Stoffel whose latest article for Israel News Talk Radio, “Romancing the Stoning Age,” discusses such things as Death by Political Correctness. Join us for this discussion on the Global Islamic Jihad movement, and why many world leaders turn a blind eye.

Beyond the Matrix - Another Annoying Catch Phrase: Can You say “Islamaphobia?”

When the average person today hears the word “Kabbalah,” they either identify it with the latest Hollywood Celebrity and a spiritual journey, or they label it as Mysticism and Witchcraft. 

On this episode of Beyond the Matrix, Ira and Rod seek to de-mystify the concept of Kabbalah. They are joined by Rabbi David Katz of Tzfat, Israel to discuss the contrast between what is known as mysticism, witchcraft and Kabbalah. In addition,  they seek to answer the question that so many of the misinformed ask today, “Is there such as thing as Kosher Kabbalah?"

How did two guys who grow up in Democratic homes end up like Ira and Rod?

Today the guys speak about how they grew up in the Democratic party of their parents and grandparents, and yet how this same party no longer resembles or represents the values that were instilled in them growing up. 

From the insane comments of a State Department spokesman in the U.S. Administration, to an Anti-Gun Democratic Councilman in Mississippi, there seems to be no end to the lengths politicians will go to misinform the public.
