The Program Podcast is where the real Unwrapping is occurring. This writing is background for the program.
The Unwrapping of ‘Stand alarm’d, O ye Americans!’ is directly related to what I noted in last weeks program – differentiating ‘Liberty and Freedom.’ Consider first a statement of Montesquieu: Continue reading

An ORATION upon the BEAUTIES of LIBERTY;
Or, The Essential RIGHTS of the AMERICANS
A call to ‘Stand alarm’d, O ye Americans!‘ Is a sermon that can be seen directly applicable to our 21st century political leaders and situation with one caveat – In 1772, America, the Citizenry and a good portion of the political class, heard and maybe even understood the truth within the First Great Awakening.
The principles in the sermon should have been preached from 1772 each and every year to this very day. The BEAUTIES of LIBERTY are not imaginary but established in the reality of who King Jesus is not king James or a governor, president, congress, judges or bureaucrats.
This sermon is directed to the political elite, the political class, the king, Parliament and yes, the Citizenry. I believe that every politician and bureaucrat needs to hear this sermon since they are culpable in the charges laid forth in this sermon. BTW, the fundamental complaint and charges are timeless when evil reigns. Continue reading

Many are quick to regurgitate Thomas Jefferson’s written statement,
‘the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.’
But few are willing to look to the context of a full paragraph in a letter to William Stephens Smith in November 1787. The context is that Jefferson is in France. The new Constitution has been sent to the States for ratification. Jefferson observes that ‘There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate (definition: be greater in number, influence, or importance).’ Continue reading

To Emasculate Them Into Isolation is a difficult topic to have the general public reason with since a large number, if not a majority, of Americans are captivated in the cutting crippling powers of quarantine. In the program discussion, I use the term generally and not just in respect to men. Yet, it strongly applies to men in our times since in the Founding era they talked about ‘manliness and acting as a man’ in respect to family, politics and Christianity.
A few quotes from Sam Adams in the Second Volume (1770 – 1773) of his writings:
…”at the same time that they speak with a manly Freedom”
“Such a Zeal temperd with a manly Prudence will render you respectable in political Circles of Men of Sense.”
“A firm and manly opposition to the attempts that have been made, and are still making, to enslave and ruin this continent, has always been branded by writers of this stamp, with the name of a FACTION.”

I was reminded by a friend that this past week was the remembrance of The Real Tea Party that made a statement in 1773. Your question is – What does The Real Tea Party have to do with Political Theology?
There were two principles of the Reformation that were key in allowing Liberty to be understood and the locally elected to act within the clear understanding of those principles. Sadly in our present situation, we will most likely not see a Real Resistance as with the Tea Party of 1773.
With frustration you ask – Why not? Continue reading

How is Corporate Moral Derision related to Casus Romae? The simple answer in respect to the ‘fall of Rome’ – Casus Romae – is a societal determination and implementation of morals and ethics. I’m not going to rehash the ‘Fall of the Roman Empire’ since that was written eons ago and had some sloppy conclusions regarding Christianity. I am primarily reintroducing you to Richard Baxter and John Witherspoon regarding the great concept of moral and ethics in business and society while giving a comparison to now and ‘Yes, your company can force you to take the vaccine.’
Something I found was written by historian Will Durant – “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome’s decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.” Continue reading

Have we been living in a House of Deception? I can say clearly say NO! The cabal has been in front of US even before the 1911 Edward M. House book ‘Philip Dru.’ The loss of interest in our Liberties was so evident that Arthur Stansbury wrote the ‘Elementary Catechism of the Constitution’ in 1826. This was for ‘elementary school’ students.
There is no deception other than those like E. M. House who, like the present techno-oligarchs, academics, church leaders and political – global elites, use their money, power and position to promote an agenda contrary to Foundational Christian and Constitutional beliefs. Continue reading

For all of created time mankind has been a part of Unseen Warfare. It is time to return to ‘A Defense of Liberty Against Tyrants’ since we are experiencing the warfare before our eyes in the ‘Battle for the White House,’ Our Free Christianity, Our Western Culture and the Republic as a whole.
Now, this is the short newsletter version and if you are interested, you can find the full version on the web site Monday. I must tell you clearly, that the program is a rerun since we ran out of time in this sort Thanksgiving week. It was not possible to get things to the producer in any timely manner. The Producers pick for this Saturday, 11/28, is “Samuel Langdon – Government Corrupted By Vice.” Face it, the demon-crats and establishment repudicans are corrupt! Continue reading
