It Didn’t Say Go Abroad. It Said Stay Home.

Most who talk about the Monroe Doctrine hope you’ve never read it. In this episode, we go right to the source, James Monroe’s message to congress on Dec 2, 1823. Understanding his exact words, placing them alongside George Washington and John Quincy Adams, shows the doctrine as it was understood at the time: restraint and non-intervention.

It Wasn’t About Taxes. It Was About Power.

Most efforts to stop federal programs miss the mark in a big way. Instead of striking the root, they hack at branches, often setting the stage for more of the same in the future.

This isn’t a Land of the Free. It’s a Population on its Knees

Exploring the deep insights of John Dickinson, the discussion uncovers how politicians cleverly mask tyranny as legality. It highlights the dangers of complacency and small abuses that pave the way for greater tyranny. The critique of harmless-seeming taxes reveals their potential for vast power. Emphasizing the importance of early opposition to power grabs, it clarifies that true freedom hinges on property rights and informed consent, warning that vigilance is key to preserving liberty against creeping despotism.

They Call It Loyalty. It’s Treason.

They twisted the words. Flipped the definitions. Made traitors look like patriots and patriots look like traitors. Samuel Adams warned us in 1748. Thomas Gordon exposed the trick decades earlier.

They Aren’t Patriots. They’re a Trojan Horse.

It’s the oldest trick in the book – a scam for power and control. From ancient tyrants who faked attacks, to the founders’ own warnings, this is the real Trojan Horse that the people have faced all through history. The greatest danger isn’t a foreign invader – it’s the ruler who PRETENDS to love liberty.

Ignorance Isn’t an Accident. It’s a WEAPON.

The founders knew what most ignore today: freedom has a prerequisite. KNOWLEDGE. Tyrants throughout history understood this – learning makes people argue instead of obey. From ancient Rome to feudal Europe to today, it’s the same playbook. Ban it. Control it. Lie about it. The question is: what are YOU going to do about it?

Lysander Spooner: The Truth About “Checks and Balances”

Spooner understood something most Americans still refuse to believe today. Every check on federal power you were taught about? They don’t work. Oaths? Meaningless. Elections? Theater. Separation of powers? Not in practice. As he put it, tyrants only care about one thing.

It Wasn’t Checks and Balances. It Was Trust.

The Anti-Federalist vs Federalist debate you were never taught. It wasn’t about checks and balances. It was about one word: TRUST. The Anti-Federalists said you can NEVER trust the man. The Federalists countered – maybe so, but you CAN trust the PLAN. It was a core conflict over ratification – and an ironic twist that tells us which side was right.

Five Weapons. One Target: Your Liberty.

The Anti-Federalists weren’t just arguing politics; they were issuing dire warnings for generations to come.

Even the “LAW” isn’t Above the Law

In America, the law is king. But here’s what the schools don’t teach: even government’s laws aren’t above THE law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land – acts beyond it are void. The Founders told us over and over: violating these so-called “laws” isn’t inherently wrong. As Patrick Henry put it, we’re “not bound to yield obedience.” And sometimes, it’s duty. This is the revolutionary case for disobedience that built America.
