Sovereign Nations
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.

Larry Elder for California Governor | Public Occurrences, Ep. 15
At one time, the state of California was known as the state which was populated by those seeking independence, freedom, and the opportunity to think differently. California grew to the largest state in the nation and at the same time has the fifth largest economy in the world, just behind Japan and ahead of the United Kingdom.
Since the late 1990s when Democrat Gray Davis wrecked California with his progressive policies, California has fallen into a virtual ditch. Slightly recovering under the brief Governorship of Arnold Schwarzenneger, the state slipped into near dystopian dysfunction under the control of Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Larry Elder is running to become the next Governor of California, and with a Newsom recall, is likely to win. And thus, a once hard blue state, the largest blue state in America, could turn deep red. However, California also has one of the worst records of voter fraud of any state in the nation. If Larry Elder wins as Governor, California could quickly move so far to the conservative side that only Florida and South Carolina could be considered more conservative.
An Elder win would mean that California, Texas, and Florida - the three most populous states in America - would have conservative leadership.
On today’s Public Occurrences, Michael O’Fallon calls on all conservatives to support Larry Elder and make California great again.

Afghanistan: The 9/11 Project | Public Occurrences, Ep. 14
This last week has seen denunciations from all sides of the political spectrum over the alleged disastrous and deadly bungling of the withdrawal of the United States Military from Afghanistan.
Criticism from world leaders such as Blair, Merkel, Macron and others have elucidated that world’s opinion that the United States has failed in Afghanistan.
At first glance, it may appear that somehow the most advanced intelligence and the greatest fighting force that the world has ever known was asleep at the wheel. At closer inspection, it appears that the Biden administration, who has successfully deconstructed the United States in just 8 months, is effectively employing critical social justice - on a global scale - in Afghanistan.

A Politicized FDA | Public Occurrences, Ep. 13
On Monday, August 23rd, President Joe Biden announced that the FDA had officially approved the Pfizer Covid vaccine in what was the fastest approval time for a drug in U.S. history.
Was this approval hurried so quickly because the actual research and science was done or was it done for political purposes? Did the FDA go through the thorough, painstaking process to place the Pfizer vaccine through the studies that it has done in the past for full approval?
An article in the prestigious British Journal of Medicine believes that normative procedures were skipped and questions have gone unasked and unanswered in the blazingly fast process to approve the Pfizer vaccine, even bringing to light that the former FDA Chief under the Trump Administration, Scott Gottlieb, currently serves on Pfizer’s Board of Directors.

We Need Debate | Public Occurrences, Ep. 12
Since February of 2020, the world has been told what to think, how to behave, and what to do in regards to responding to what was first referred to as the “Wuhan Virus” by mainstream media and was eventually mandated as Covid-19. We were told that we could not speculate on the virus’ origins, we could not take certain therapies, and we could not question the wisdom of the draconian policies of the CDC and local public health officials.
At what point did we engage in national debate? At what signpost did the nation demand for a robust polemic discussion on the claims of the technocrats who made hyperbolic prognostications that never materialized?
We have watched as small businesses and restaurants have been shuttered forever due to the responses to the virus. We have witnessed houses of worship being told how, when and by what procedures that they may practice their faith because of the “threat of Covid-19.” We have stood by as our rights and freedoms have been decimated.
Where was the national debate? Where was the evidence and rebuttals?
We will explore these questions and more on today’s Public Occurrences both Foreign and Domestic.

This Perfect Day | Public Occurrences, Ep. 11
When discussing visions of the dystopian future that we are transitioning into, we immediately think of the two novels from Orwell and Huxley, “1984” and “Brave New World” that provide contrasting visions of a liberty-less future for humanity.
We may also think of H.G. Wells and his “The Shape of Things to Come” as well as his non-fiction future casting works, “The Global Brain,” “The Open Conspiracy” and “The New World Order.” Each of Wells’s works was the result of not only his thoughts, but also the thoughts and strategies of those who existed within the influence of the Fabian Society and other technocratic-minded think tanks.
But one author that you may not think of, but you should is Ira Levin who wrote "This Perfect Day" (https://www.amazon.com/This-Perfect-Day-Ira-Levin/dp/160598129X/) back in 1969.
Many years ago, I had personally recommended this book to men that I hoped would some day realize what is happening around us and stand against the coming night. Once such person is Dr. James White, who has recommended this book to his followers.
Today we examine “This Perfect Day” and attempt to set the course to rise up against this totalitarian madness before it is too late.

Obedience Training | Public Occurrences, Ep. 10
We have all experienced the time when we picked up a puppy from a kennel or a shelter and brought them into our homes. Early on, we convinced ourselves that we could train our new dog to not make a mess, to not jump on strangers, and to not chew our shoes.
But sooner or later we realized that we needed help to get our dog in line and the best possible way of expediting the transition from a disobedient pet to an obedient pet was professional obedience training. Through obedience training we could be assured that our dogs old behaviors and habits could be changed through stern authoritarianism.
When you take a few steps back from our present situation you will realize that this is what has been happening to all of humanity throughout our world: we have been taken to obedience training by our new masters.

Invade and then Invite | Public Occurrences, Ep. 9
As the United States and our ineffective leadership bungles another withdrawal from a foreign land that it has been occupying for the last 20 years, one thing is certain: America will invite all that are willing to come to the United States to our shores.
The United States has been both "invading" nations and then "inviting" all comers from those nations to come to America. The entire voting demographic in many cities and states has been forever changed by our policy of both welcoming refugees from wars of our own making.
Funny, isn’t it, that the same welcoming arms of the Biden Administration are not open wide for Cubans who will face certain persecution.

Answers In Afghanistan | Public Occurrences, Ep. 8
The disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan has called into question the strategies and objectives of our leaders over the past 20 years. What were the goals for our military in Afghanistan? What were our actual objectives that necessitated the loss of thousands of U.S. lives and tens of thousands of Afghanistan lives?
The history of Afghanistan is complex - and enlightening at the same time. And in the center of that history is a path that made Afghanistan one of the most important regions in the world: the silk road.

Woke NFL | Public Occurrences, Ep. 7
This past week signaled the beginning of an American tradition, the cheery notice that fall is about to begin: NFL football has started their preseason.
While the new NFL season would normally bring communities together to support their local or regional teams, instead the NFL has been practicing full-blow critical race theory and deconstructionism within the league. This past month, the NFL announced that it would begin playing the “Black National Anthem” - a move that is strategically purposed to create disunity in our nation.
As the NFL has made their choice to become the “Critical Race Football League,” men and women who value the liberties afforded to them in the constitution should consider ending their support for a league that has chosen Neo-Marxism over the constitution of the United States of America.

Domestic Terror | Public Occurrences, Ep. 6
The nation lived through the threat of and consequences of terror in the early years of the twenty first century. And while the citizens of the United States desired safety and security, they also wanted to ensure that we “went back to normal” as quickly as possible. That is how we dealt with terror twenty years ago, but it isn’t the way that we have dealt with terror in 2021.
The citizens of the United States allowed their lives to be disrupted, allowed our futures to be thrown into disarray and somehow along the way gave up our personal rights and responsibilities.
Citizens of the free world must work together to push back on the counterfeit terror that has infected our nations. At the same time, we must dismiss the terrorists that demand our attention every minute of every day. We must take a new path, a path that will lead to liberty and actual justice in nations across the globe.
