Sovereign Nations

Sovereign Nations

Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.

Charlie Kirk and the Preciousness of Time | Public Occurrences, Ep. 122

September 22, 2025 • 40 mins
In this message, I reflect upon the life and legacy of my friend, Charlie Kirk, who was so brutally taken from us on September 10th, 2025, at Utah Valley University. Charlie was more than a political figure; he was a visionary who dedicated his short 31 years to redirecting a generation away from destructive ideologies and toward the hope of faith, family, and a lasting inheritance. Through his work with Turning Point USA, TPUSA Fa...

The 10 Stages That Lead to Genocide | Public Occurrences, Ep. 120

May 2, 2024 • 40 mins
America is currently immersed in a troubling wave of animosity that spans various ethnicities, religions, and sexual identities. The tolerance and respect we once had for each other's freedom to worship, speak, and spend according to our own conscience are now under threat from a divisive and perilous force. This dialectical cabal promotes violent conflicts, dehumanization, and the erosion of civil discourse, jeopardizing our abili...

It is crucial to recall that simila...

Limited Hangout | Public Occurrences, Ep. 118

January 10, 2024 • 24 mins
In today's complex and deceptive American landscape, information and knowledge hold immense influence over the choices we make as individuals and as a society. However, not all information that is presented to the public is reliable or comprehensive. One concept that unveils this phenomenon is known as a "limited hangout." This term, coined by former CIA officer Victor Marchetti, describes a strategy utilized by governments, intell...

In my Sovereign Nations 2024 Forecast, I reflect on the accuracy of my past predictions and issue warnings about imminent challenges.

Reaction is the Real Action | Dr. James Lindsay

September 28, 2023 • 113 mins
With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 14 Leftist activism often seeks direct victories but resorts to an action-reaction strategy when faced with obstacles. This political warfare tactic involves provoking a response, controlling how it's portrayed to the audience, and using it to further their agenda. Saul Alinsky's principle, "your enemy’s reaction is your real action," underpins this approach, involving a two-step process of...

The Fracturing of Evangelical Christianity | Dr. Jon Benzinger

September 27, 2023 • 41 mins
With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 12 Today, it seems we can’t agree on anything anymore. Movements like Marxist social justice and Christian Nationalism have inserted conflict into Evangelicalism, separating brothers, decimating institutions, and muddying established doctrine. In this message, Dr. Jon Benzinger laments this fact, calls Christians to unity with other Christians (Rom 12:16, 1 Cor 1:10, Eph 4:3-6), and to sto...

Whatever Happened to Freedom? | Dr. John Connell

September 26, 2023 • 57 mins
With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 11 In the founding of this nation, deists and Christians came together on one issue in particular: Religious faith is not an issue that the state has any business dictating. I believe that with all my heart. Let me tell you something else I believe – no man or prince or church or any form of centralized power has any business telling anyone what they can and can’t believe. Whether deists or...

The Christian Prince: A Savior Complex Personified | Nick Shalna

September 25, 2023 • 39 mins
While there are a number of reasons both historical and biblical to avoid and oppose the concept(s) of Christian Nationalism, there are a few underlying points that don’t seem to have garnered enough attention. The idea that America's core values and constitution need to be uprooted and replaced with a new founding lies at the core of this movement. But in addition to this, many of the ideas put forth have distorted biblical concep...

September 15, 2023 • 95 mins
With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 7 Christian Nationalism is a divisive movement within evangelical circles, with some seeing it as a stabilizing force in a turbulent society while others argue it blurs the separation between Church and State, resembling totalitarian regimes.

American Maoism | James Lindsay

September 14, 2023 • 111 mins
With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 6 It's crucial to understand that the Left operates strategically, guided by a framework known as "dialectical political warfare." This dialectical approach involves merging truths with falsehoods to advance their agenda. Political warfare, in essence, employs political means with hostile intent to influence an adversary's behavior – propaganda being a prime example. One cannot discuss this ...
