Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago.
Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.

Hegel's Alchemy of Science | James Lindsay & Michael O'Fallon | Changing Tides, Ep. 7
In our final discussion of the Changing Tides video series, Michael O’Fallon and James Lindsay discuss the alchemic properties of Hegel’s understanding of science. His view of science isn’t what most of us consider science. Hegel’s view of science is self-referential, more like a “theoretical lens” (or eisegesis) than a skeptical and empirical inquiry into the nature of reality. In other words, for Hegel and his ideological descendants, Theory comes first and evidence after.
Though it seems removed from the ideas of today, Hegel’s view of science inspired other “scientific” views down through the modern era, most importantly that of Karl Marx. Marx believed he had a Science of HIstory in his Wissenschaftlicher Sozialismus, “scientific socialism.” He couldn’t have been more wrong. Thinking that his model was truly scientific, however, had a great deal to do with Hegel’s notion of science in which his own speculative idealism, taken as a systematic philosophy, generates the one correct way to understand the world and ourselves within it.
Join us for this short discussion in which Dr. Lindsay peels back Hegel’s metaphysical open door to technocracy through an alchemy derived form of “scientism,” which leaps past the process of falsification and focuses on a pre-envisioned form of operational success.

The Last Changing Tides | Public Occurrences, Ep. 23
They say “all good things must come to an end” and this phrase was never more true than with our fitting end to the “Changing Tides” video series that comes to an end today at Sovereign Nations.
The video conversation that I recently had with Dr. James Lindsay that will be released later today will focus on “Hegel’s Alchemy of Science.”
This series, recorded primarily in February and May of 2021, was purposed to help you understand what will be coming soon to our nation and world.

Labor Day | Public Occurrences, Ep. 22
Over the last 30 years or so, America has endured a seemingly endless attack on our cherished national holidays. Christmas is normally the main target with an attempt to both strip the Christian context out of the season as well as an attempt to fracture the holiday with “disrupt than dismantle” styled attacks by inventing new ethnically based holidays to replace a significant part of our societal culture. Thanksgiving, of course, is now the holiday of the occupiers of indigenous lands and the entire month of June overshadows Father’s Day with a rainbow draped celebration of the attempt to replace heteronormativity with anything that falls within the category of LGBTQ++.
But there is one nationally recognized holiday that the progressives of today are seeking to enhance instead of replace: Labor Day.

Encroaching Darkness | Stephen Hicks, James Lindsay, & Michael O'Fallon | Changing Tides Ep. 6
In the previous episode of Sovereign Nations’s Changing Tides, The Seeds of Collectivism, James Lindsay, Stephen Hicks and Michael O’Fallon began with the metaphysical collectivist thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. They then examined Hegel and Kant, and concluded with Dr. Hicks’s assertion that if it weren’t for the success of the Russian Revolution, Marx would be considered a second or third tier philosopher.
As the team begins Encroaching Darkness, Dr. Hicks brings the conversation from Marx and into the existentialists and their emphasis on the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.
Dr. LIndsay analyzes Gramsci and his concepts of cultural Marxism. Dr. Hicks then provides a broad overview and remarked that the early 20th century highlighted the concept of false consciousness. Both men discuss the Frankfurt School and the influence of the critical theorists. The discussion progresses to Maoism with Dr. Lindsay making the statement “Mao did what Gramsci thought.”
We end in Postmodernism and the ideological collectivist stew of Neo-Marxism.

One Belt One Afghanistan | Public Occurrences, Ep. 21
The U.S. troops have departed and the trillion dollars that American taxpayers have spent to both win the war and rehabilitate Afghanistan is now in the hands of the Taliban and the Chinese Government.
With only a rocky border separating Afghanistan and China, the natural influence of China will be immediate and well funded.
But there is something else that will be happening with Afghanistan: neo-colonization with China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Debt diplomacy will be used to leverage the resources of Afghanistan. And while you may think that it is the mineral rich terrain of Afghanistan that China is after - and it is - the other primary concern of China is data.

Inequitable Grief | Public Occurrences, Ep. 20
This past week, a grieving mother of a young man killed in Afghanistan was deleted and deplatformed from Facebook and Instagram for expressing her displeasure with President Joe Biden and his careless withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This should bring to mind the stories of grieving parents and spouses who lost their loved ones in service in 2017 who in turn expressed displeasure in President Trump. These stories were shared in every major media outlet throughout the United States, and in particular, on social media.
The unequal treatment of these two similar situations should be a clear signal that the social media giants, who courted our patronage with promises of “free speech” and “privacy” are our adversaries.

Evil Clowns | Public Occurrences, Ep. 19
Deception and purposed alchemy has become the mode of operation for the technocrats and social engineers surrounding the current administration.
Each day misinformation and fertile fallacies are unleashed upon an increasingly bewildered public as policies that are not meant to help or enhance the United States of America are rolled out and implemented by our current administration. At the center of these propaganda-filled policies are men and women who are masters of deception that have their own unstated goals in mind - and you must obey.
If you were to hold a conference or event of the very worst of these kinds of people, who would be at the top of the list. Which three or four faces best represent the current zeitgeist that is meant to help America “build back better?”

Disrupting America | Public Occurrences, Ep. 18
From the beginning of the pandemic through the revolutionary takeover of the Biden Administration, one particular descriptive word would encapsulate what has been unleashed on the United States of America: disruption.
Disruption to our lives, disruption to our economy and disruption to our elective process.
As the Christmas season approaches, the Chinese Communist Party and the Biden Administration are ensuring that the next thing that will be disrupted in America will be our traditional and capitalistic way of celebrating Christmas.
So for this season in Whoville, the role of the Grinch will be played by the Chinese Government with willing help from the Biden Harris Administration.

Your Red Pill Moment | Public Occurrences, Ep. 17
When was your red pill moment?
Like the moment in the Matrix when Morpheus offers Neo the choice of the blue pill - to go back to bliss and life as it was, or the red pill - that brings Neo into the actual reality: the horrifying reality of what really is.
The second issue to overcome after realizing that we are in the midst of a 5th generation war is preparing to strategically alter your actions to overcome the challenges ahead. This takes courage and the ability to understand that the days ahead are predictable, but not in the same way that they have been in America for generations.
Our way of life is under attack. Our faith is under attack. Your family is under attack. Our nation and world are under siege. It is time to strip away any remaining cognitive dissonance and prepare to engage our adversaries.

Biden Breaking Backbones | Public Occurrences, Ep. 16
Precious lives were sacrificed and our nation was disgraced this Thursday as the deadliest day in military operations in over ten years was endured by our faithful U.S. servicemen and women in Afghanistan.
What was the primary focus of Secretary of Defense Austin and the Pentagon this past week? The mass mandated vaccinations of our entire armed forces in the United States along with the goal of defeating “white supremacy” and “systemic oppression.” The priorities are misplaced and the results show that both our President and our U.S. Military Leadership are functioning in non-reality. But when leadership lives in a delusion, those of us living in reality suffer.
