Path to Liberty

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.

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.

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 Amer...

On October 20th, 1774, the First Continental Congress passed the Continental Association, a coordinated economic shutdown in response to relentless attacks by the British Empire, including the hated Coercive Acts. It was a four pronged strategy that included a revolutionary, local enforcement mechanism - taking over with self-government from the bottom up.

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 ...

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 which led to the network of communication and resistance that laid the groundwork for independence.

“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 F...

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.

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.

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.
