Path to Liberty
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Michael Boldin covers the original constitution, principles of the revolution, and strategy – all with an eye on advancing liberty.
Episodes
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 post T...Most people hear “invasion” and think of foreign armies crossing borders. But to the Founders and Old Revolutionaries the biggest danger was something very different - and far closer to home. In this episode, we uncover their warnings about a threat few talk about today.
The post INVASION: The Real Enemy Isn’t Foreign. It’s a War on YOU first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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.
The post The Dollar isn’t Money. It’s Fraud. Thomas Paine’s Brutal Takedown f...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. But the Framers told us, over and over.
The post We the People vs We the States: The Constitution’s Real Purpose first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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.
The post The ...Hamilton vs Madison and Jefferson. The first great economic debate under the Constitution was about tariffs, and it actually started under the Articles of Confederation. But the debate wasn’t about protectionism vs free trade. It was dueling forms of government intervention.
The post TARIFFS: First Debate was Power, Not Trade first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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...
Does the federal government have unilateral power to call forth the militia? During the War of 1812, New England states not only said no, but they used the principles of the 10th Amendment to actively interpose and resist federal demands for mobilizing the militia.
The post When States Had Backbone: The Militia Showdown They Never Teach first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.Rights are not gifts from government. They don’t come from documents - like a constitution or a bill of rights. You have rights because you exist. Government - of course - isn’t too big of a fan of that view. On this episode - we’ve diving in on the foundation: Natural rights
The post You Don’t have Constitutional Rights. You Just Have Rights. first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.While most people ignore the Ninth Amendment, those who don't usually get it completely wrong. It isn't a grant of additional federal power; it's a rule of construction designed to explain its limits. On this episode, we’ll uncover the forgotten history behind the ignored 9th Amendment.
The post The 9th Amendment Wasn’t an Afterthought. It Was a Firewall first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.The path to liberty isn’t flashy. It’s slow. Deliberate. Relentless. In 1767 - the Penman of the American Revolution found the key in ancient Rome. Four Latin words. One strategy - To topple an empire.
The post How to Beat the Empire: The Founders’ 4-Word Formula for Victory first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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.
The post The 10th Amendment Wasn’t an Add-On. It Was the Entire Point first appeared...John Taylor smacked down Chief Justice John Marshall - who followed Alexander Hamilton’s playbook to twist the meaning of words - like the necessary and proper clause - to support a national bank. Taylor called it “construction,” and saw a catastrophe coming. He was no mere critic. He was prophetic.
The post Supreme Court Power Grab! How Judges Stole Your Constitution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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.”
The post IMPEACHMENT: The Truth They Never Teach About “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.Bastiat called it “legal plunder.” Spooner said their “sole purpose is power and plunder.” Today, they just call it government.
The post Exposed: How Government Became a Legal Crime Syndicate first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.The Anti-Federalists knew exactly where it would lead - unchecked power, endless taxes, and the death of the republic - and of liberty.
The post The TRAP They Saw Coming: 5 Mechanisms of Tyranny first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.“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.
The post You Can’t Comply Your Way Out of Tyranny firs...The Founders warned us. We ignored them. These eight enemies aren't at the gates - they’re already inside, destroying the Constitution and liberty - from within.
The post The Real Enemies of America Aren’t Who You Think first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.Five constitutional truths they almost never teach. Because if they did, we wouldn’t live under the largest government in history.
The post You’ve Been Lied to Since Day One first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.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.
