IMPEACHMENT: The Truth They Never Teach About “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”
The framers built a tool to protect the Republic from serious abuses of public trust. A power much-broader than what virtually anyone teaches today. But Anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry warned that it was nothing more than a “sham.”

Exposed: How Government Became a Legal Crime Syndicate
Bastiat called it “legal plunder.” Spooner said their “sole purpose is power and plunder.” Today, they just call it government.

You Can’t Comply Your Way Out of Tyranny
“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” Jefferson didn’t just say it – he meant it, even when he opposed the cause. Because the principle was bigger than the moment: resistance is what keeps government in check. This episode makes the case with hard truth from Jefferson, Spooner, Adams, Locke, and more – showing that liberty survives through backbone, not permission.

Liberty OR Empire: You Can’t Have Both
Every empire follows the same script, but this isn’t the version you’re used to. It’s not about overextension, debt, or even manipulating the money – those are all symptoms. The real disease? Consolidate power, crush liberty, and the rest is history. And now, it’s our turn. This episode is a warning for the ages about the story of empires. Because liberty must die for empires to thrive.

War Power Showdown: James Madison vs the Executive Branch
There is no situation – ever – where the President can unilaterally take the United States to war. No emergency. No exception. No loophole. James Madison made this absolutely clear, again and again. And when he became president, he followed that rule to the letter – not once, but twice – in the heat of war. In this episode: the father of the Constitution vs the modern myth of unilateral executive war power.

No Constitution Can Ever Fix This
Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn’t stand a chance. He wasn’t alone – founders and the great thinkers they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we’re on that same path – not because we’re being forced, but because we’ve chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves.

The Day Rebellion Became Law: June 12, 1776
On June 12, 1776, Virginia made rebellion law. They didn’t ask for permission – they said take it, whether government likes it or not. In this episode, we’re digging into a forgotten founding document: the Virginia Declaration of Rights – where power comes from, why governments exist, and what the people have the right to do when it all goes off the rails.
