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.

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.
Counterspell is here.

After three years of writing, the book launches Friday, May 1.
I was going to open this with something stirring. Something about the times we are living in, and the work the book is meant to do, and the kind of reader I had in mind through every page. I drafted that paragraph four times. It kept reading like a press release.
So instead, plainly:
Counterspell launches Friday, May 1, 2026. Ebook is available for pre-order on Amazon now (https://a.co/d/05DG1xql). Paperback and hardcover ship May 1. Below you'll find the introduction in audio (in my voice, recorded last week) and the first three lessons of the afterword in a produced PDF. If you read nothing else of the book, read those.
This post exists to give you four things — the audio excerpt, the PDF excerpt, the pre-order link, and a short personal note about what this book is for. In that order.
Listen — the introduction, in my voice
This is the full author's note that opens the book. About six and a half minutes. It is the shortest distance between a ...
Let me start by thanking you all for your patience and the relative slow speed of content production as of late. The winter has been quite difficult in terms of health, and the legislative session has been extremely busy with my serving on two committees due to a resignation that left House Education short. However, I hope you’ll be quite happy to know that a major book release is now only 1 week away. The Right is getting a reason to get excited about May Day - a day when the Left is planning to run an economic boycott to hurt American and Americans. Sure would be a shame if we turned the book into a bestseller on their boycott day…
I can also announce that this is only the first of several planned books. This, being the first and foundation of those to come, will be the most comprehensive and generalist manual on identifying how the enemy works and what we must do to get to the victory we all desire. For that reason, the subtitle of the book is The Field Manual for the Counter-Revolution. The title, in ...
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 ...
