They Said It Was for Defense. It Was for Control.

From ancient Rome to the streets of Boston, a timeless formula has always demanded the same price: liberty. The founders didn’t discover this danger – they recognized the pattern. They had seen it in the history books, and they knew the tragedy in Boston was its predictable result.

This Wasn’t a Request. It Was a Refusal.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to respond to the hated Coercive Acts – Parliament’s brutal punishment for the Boston Tea Party. They had a decision: submit to tyranny, or resist. Their answer was the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. On this episode, one of the most important and most forgotten documents of the American Revolution. A direct precursor to both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

The Revolution Didn’t Begin with a Shot. It Began with a Line in the Sand.

Life, liberty, and property weren’t just theories – they were the foundation of the American Revolution. John Locke wrote them, the Declaration adopted them, but Samuel Adams turned them into action. In 1772, he drafted an incredibly important, but almost totally forgotten document that led to the network of communication and resistance and laid the groundwork for independence.

America Didn’t Escape the Crown. We Rebuilt the Throne.

Same system. Different flag. The Revolutionaries Declared Independence in 1776 – and put their lives on the line to keep it.

BETRAYAL: The Constitution Wasn’t Stolen. It Was Surrendered.

“A republic …if you can keep it.” We’ve all heard Benjamin Franklin’s famous “constitution day” line. But he wasn’t warning about government, or even the Constitution itself. He was warning us – about us. In his final speech at the Philadelphia Convention, Franklin also issued another warning – a dire prediction of how it would all end. In this episode, we dig into those warnings to understand what “keeping it” really meant to Franklin, Madison, Adams, Dickinson, and so many others who knew that words on paper would never be enough.

This Isn’t a Political Contest. It’s the Tyranny Washington Predicted

George Washington didn’t retire quietly – in his Farewell Address, he warned America what was coming. He described how power-hungry factions would tear the country apart, poisoning debate, inviting corruption, and driving people to trade freedom for false security. The result? A “frightful despotism” – permanent tyranny rising from within. The most chilling part? His dire warning is the one almost everyone ignores today.

The Dollar isn’t Money. It’s Fraud. Thomas Paine’s Brutal Takedown

Thomas Paine’s brutal demolition of a scam more dangerous than kings is one almost no one ever learns about. He showed how this scheme corrupts society, destroys trust, and unleashes evils that never end. On this episode of Path to Liberty, we dig into Paine’s forgotten warning about the oldest scam in America – and his verdict that still hits home today.

We the People vs We the States: The Constitution’s Real Purpose

Constitution vs Articles of Confederation? Instead of a government that acted through the states, the constitution created something radically different – and almost no one today understands what that change really was.
