Mission driven: Americanism, Christian ethics, and counter-dialectic.
We open this week with the reality of the ongoing threat of the Soviet Union through it’s many fronts and active measures that took on a life of their own, and outlived the official existence of their Communist Empire. This reality is reflected in the NGO scandal exposed by DOGE and others. It also surfaces as rhetoric and beliefs that have permeated all major political parties and movements, from Conservatism to Libertarianism.

Now that we’re getting a bit deeper into this project let me once more remind you, dear readers, that the objective of dumping the whole mass of existential threats onto the public is not, in fact, demoralization, but a reality check. Far too many are gliding on through thinking the fact that they checked the box for Trump and Vance nearly a year ago bought them a four year vacation.
The intent here is to demonstrate that we must walk and chew gum, and to highlight that failure is not an option. We may have bought ourselves a bit of time by checking that box, and we surely have made some strides on many fronts towards solutions, but we have not yet achieved a single solution to a single problem we face.
If you’ve become calloused or defeated by the reality we are presenting of the very real threats we face please recalibrate and remoralize. We need you. We need you on your A game. We need you enacting solutions in your spheres of influence, building out strategies, and establishing parallel institutions. We must, at a minimum, build a safety net capable of catching large amounts of our nation and culture as the slow-motion trainwreck proceeds apace, and it all unravels.
Remember, these videos are made for sharing with the general public to help break through their slumber. Share every chance you get.
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.
What we must now do.
Introduction: The Necessary Shift
Amongst the fray of a castle siege, loyal defenders manned the walls against external foes. But what if the enemy has already breached the gates, slain the rightful king, and now flies their banner from the towers? What if this happened long ago, and you now sit outside the fortified walls gazing upward at the stone as arrows rain down on you?
Continuing to "defend" those walls—pouring oil over your own allies assaulting the fortifications—becomes not valor, but folly. Yet before, when you stood atop the walls and defended your king, such dedication to defensive procedure was heroism. This is the essence of counter-revolutionary ethics: recognizing that the fortress of our institutions is captured, outside our control, held by tyrants, and making the necessary shift from righteous defense to righteous offense.
This essay serves as the definitive guide to counter-revolutionary ethics, arming elites with strategic clarity while remaining accessible to laymen through analogies, memes, and concrete examples....
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 ...
