Path to Liberty

Two vague words gave Congress unlimited power. It’s the greatest Constitutional scam in American history. In 1791, Alexander Hamilton laid down the blueprint. Jefferson, Madison, and others immediately called it a profound betrayal, warning that if Hamilton’s view won, every other limit on power would be meaningless. This was the turning point for the future of the republic - and the story they never want you to know.

George Mason said the militia consisted of the whole people. Today, that definition has been twisted, ignored, or totally forgotten. Talk about militia and most people will look at you like some kind of fringe nutjob. But the founders saw the militia as a highly armed and trained general population that was essential to the security and liberty of a free republic. In this episode, we dig into what that really meant, the Anti-Federa...

The Founders didn’t secede from an empire over taxes or tea. They fought a war against unlimited, centralized power. The 10th Amendment was their answer. Power is not assumed. It must be granted. On this episode, learn about this forgotten foundation - from the revolution to ratification - and what it tells us about how to turn things around today.

“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.

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.

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.

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....

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.
