Extra time is going to our next book project -
on the Anti-Federalist warnings from Mason, Cato, the Pennsylvania Dissent, Elbridge Gerry, and Luther Martin.
Here’s Mason in his own words 👇
"Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”
Regular podcast schedule returns next week - Wednesday & Friday.

MILITIA: Primary Security of a FREE Republic
🇺🇸 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgLII...
The founders understood:
A free people must be their own
first line of defense.
Gen. Henry Knox - Secretary of War under George Washington - spelled it out:
“An energetic national militia is to be regarded as the capital security of a free republic; and not a standing army, forming a distinct class in the community.”
That truth has been twisted, ignored, and buried.
It's time to bring it back

🔥 Your rights don’t come from a document
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pICND...
Thomas Paine knew:
If they can give them
They can take them away
“It is a perversion of terms to say that a charter gives rights”
798 - 51
Thomas Jefferson was right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D9gQ...
“The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, that we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time, and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.”

⚠️ Tyranny Thrives on Confusion

The vaguer the law,
the more power they grab.
John Taylor called it out.
“Obscurity” isn’t an accident
it’s the whole strategy.

⚠️"It is a mere SHAM"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFMZ4...
Patrick Henry called it?
The framers built impeachment as a tool
to protect the Republic from
serious abuses of public trust.
But Anti-Federalists like Henry and George Mason
warned that it was nothing more than a “farce.”

The bigger the crime → The safer the criminal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq0UT...
⚠️ "It is safer for a great man to rob a country, than for a poor man to steal a loaf"
-Thomas Gordon
Rob a loaf: Prison
Rob a nation: Power

The Anti-Federalists warned us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htFeL...
Officers of government would become untouchable
Brutus saw the inevitable result:
"In so extensive a republic, the great officers of government would soon become above the control of the people, and abuse their power to the purpose of aggrandizing themselves, and oppressing them"
Power without accountability.
Authority without oversight.
646 - 47
Patrick Henry saw the trap: Consolidation

"consolidation must end in the destruction of our liberties"
From 13 sovereign republics
To one vast empire
Where distant power rules everything

🔥 You don’t beat tyranny by following orders

👇
Every inch of liberty came from saying no
Not asking nicely
The founders knew it.
So did Lysander Spooner.
Do we?
