Mission driven: Americanism, Christian ethics, and counter-dialectic.
Here, we seek to publish widely a brief summary of the nature of “rule of law” as it pertains to “the good,” or “ethics.” Law is not good simply because it is law, but only if it corresponds to a higher ethic. The very existence of a higher ethic than law itself means that government is not the ultimate authority and, indeed, must seek to align with that transcendent authority.
While this truth is timeless and relevant in America it is even more timely and relevant in Europe and Canada. It is there that a tradition is taking hold that places no ethic above the law - making the law the ultimate authority, and thereby sliding into tyranny. This is the same thing that happened under Nazi Germany, where the law was viewed as not subservient to any higher, transcendent ethic, but placing the government itself in the place of God. This terrible tradition dates to the ancient Greeks, to ancient Egypt, and even, perhaps, to Babylon.
The purpose of this undertaking is to raise the idea of a higher ethic and a higher sovereign than government in the minds of the masses, thereby creating conditions wherein grassroots challenges might be made to the rising culture of tyranny and evil across the West. This is a primer on Information Operations (IO).
We do not intend to push out every new short video on Substack, but we will seek to keep you apprised as to the broad undertakings in this regard, our aims, and how you, our subscribers, are making it all possible. You may follow the full rollout on our X platform. https://x.com/Counterspell10
We arrive now at our final episode in our American Caesar series. We discuss here the specific mechanisms, ethical considerations, and tactical moves necessary in the Executive who might restore the republic. It’s not an easy thing to consider, but it’s high time that it must be.
This also likely marks the last public episode of this format - hence, the reversal of the prior decision to make this available only to paid subscribers. It is necessary for us to explore other formats going forward, as the cost of producing these videos has increased, and it has not been met with a commensurate increase in paid subscriptions. As we have operated for months at a loss we must now change. We are exploring the possibility of moving forward with a podcast-like format. However, though presently unknown, there is an expiration date on the Counterspell project unless a significant increase in support can be gained. We hope you might share us with friends towards this end.
Though we long hoped it would never come this time, it has, in fact, come. The reasonable and respectable avenues of normal polity have been cut-off from us. We face an illegitimate, revolutionary and detestable democracy where our constitutional republic belongs.
In our prior subscriber-only episodes we explored the history, precedents, and ethics of where we find ourselves. In the next episode, for subscribers only, we explore the gritty mechanisms from which this might still be accomplished without descending into chaos.
The task of reformation now falls to the only office in the land capable of carrying it forward: the President.
Here, we take a moment to discuss the necessity of laying out a little bit of coin to properly equip yourself for a role in neighborhood watch - or, perhaps, “neighborhood-watch plus.”
We’ll be continuing with our series on American Caesar, largely for subscribers only, soon. You may not presently see the connection between these topics, but, we assure you, it is there.
In what ideas and beliefs is the spirit of the Fourth of July, Independence Day, ordered liberty, and the rights of men rooted?
With due respect for those championing that root as "Scottish Common Sense Realism," or SCSR for short, as we consider many as friends, this SCRM most certainly was not the root of that good tree. Rather, SCSR was one of the first vines that arose to strangle the tree of liberty.
This can be proven in three distinct and damning ways. The first two of these proofs is rooted in the internal logic and consequences of ideas, and in the character of the "fathers" of SCSR. The "fathers" of SCSR were all, by confession, Presbyterian - more than mere Congregants, many were ordained ministers ("Shepherds" and "Elders" by Scriptural standards). As such they stood on the shoulders of giants of the faith, and of the Scottish Reformation, such as John Knox.
The first principle of the Reformation, generally, and Scottish Reformation, particularly, was Sola Scriptura: Scripture, alone, is ...
How the Biden Regime Brought the War Home.
Apologies for the delay. Due to the size of the file and technical restrictions on this platform please find our latest video here:
With the release of the newly declassified internal strategy and policy document on “countering violent extremism” from DNI Tulsi Gabbard we have an opening to provide in-depth analysis on “how the sausage was made” in terms of turning America into a authoritarian police state, targeting decent Americans as “terrorists” and “extremists,” and more.
We undertake this analysis with the purpose of tying it all to the prior lessons we’ve gone through with our audience. It can sometime be difficult to envision how the abstract lessons on esoterica, political theory, and more that we provide translate directly to the reality we see around us. This analysis follows on the prior analysis, years ago, ...
We are excited to announce a new messaging campaign building on (and coopting, in part) current efforts to establish “Liberty” as a bedrock American principle going forward. This effort is made possible by our subscribers. Please consider subscribing to support this and future efforts.
For those active in these social media circles you’ll likely recognize the structure of what we now present as being similar, though divergent from, other efforts that are ongoing. We undertake this for several reasons:
Liberty is, was, and ought to be a bedrock principle of Americanism.
Recent efforts have, unintentionally (we believe), alienated numerous groups of persons that ought to be allies of Liberty by undertaking a messaging effort that, on its face, transgressed foundational Christian principles due to misunderstanding in theology.
To establish “Liberty” not as a good in and of itself, but as a necessary precondition to adequately pursue goodness, and as an affirmative command from our Lord ...
