Compulsory Taxes For Compulsory Education

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I don’t have any problem with Andy in New York raising his own money and educating his own children as he sees fit. By the same token, here in Louisiana, I am compelled to pay property tax, sales taxes, all manner of taxes on all manner of products, gasoline taxes, lottery taxes, all these taxes that amount to about $13,000 per year per pupil if you actually send your kids to a public school. You alm….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Article I, Section 8, granting Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes, why wouldn’t Congress just assert the exact same power and authority that they exert over the states if the Indian tribes decided to put new refineries up because they were on their reservations?

Militias Are The First Responsibility Of Citizens

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The ultimate responsibility of the citizen is to protect his property and, by extension, to protect property of those that surround him in his sovereign state, wherever his geography may be. That’s why you are a citizen and why you swear allegiance to a geographic or sovereign state. That’s the purpose of being a citizen. It’s not to buy things. It’s not to show up here or there. It is to be the first line of defense. What ….Continue

A Sovereign State Is Its People, Not Its Government

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - A state is a collection of sovereign people. A state is not -- you live in Philadelphia. When your legislature or assembly meets in Harrisburg, that is not the state. That is the elected representatives of the state. The state is the people. The people are the sovereign. The only other way this works is when the king is the sovereign. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue

Why Doesn't Texas Just Secede Already?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - It makes no sense to me. This is another great example of how the propaganda and “to the victor go the spoils” mentality that it has weighed on the heads of Texans for 150 years. You drive around Houston and you’ll see secede stickers all over the place. No one is actually talking about doing something about it. I’d say there are about 16 trillion immediate reasons why you ought to do something a….Continue

Change is Coming... Amendments IX and X Reserve Nullification To The People

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We could solve much of the federal and national malaise that we currently experience by just returning to original construction or original understanding of what the word sovereignty means. This is just one of the greatest scams ever pulled. The United States of America is not sovereign. It can’t be. I can explain why it can’t be, but it would take me 10, 15 minutes. Only the states are sovereign. The states elect, voluntarily, ….Continue

What Is A State? And How Is It Sovereign?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I’ve been on this experimental tangent here for the last, I don’t know how long you’ve been listening, but I’ve been on this assignment in trying to explain what it is that makes a state and how it is that governments are formed in sovereign states.  If you understand that from the Jeffersonian point of view, then to me it is impossible to reconcile the current leviathan and all its various agencies….Continue

Sovereignty Comes From People

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - In 1803, in the United States Senate, John Taylor of Caroline presented the case on behalf of Jefferson for why Jefferson acted totally constitutionally when he made the Louisiana Purchase.  One of the other things that Timothy Pickering, a senator from Taxachusetts at the time, said that Jefferson had erred in doing was that those people in Louisiana became citizens.  It’s in the Louisiana Pur….Continue

What It Means to be Sovereign

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Mike Church Show Exclusive Transcript - People give the government power.  Only the people are sovereign.  This is what you’ll learn.  Only the people can grant power.  In the grant of power, if there is no mechanism to take it back, then you’re not sovereign.  This is something that I’m just learning from going back and reading source documents written by Jefferson, Taylor of Caroline and other luminaries, David Hume a….Continue

[The powerful Executive branch]...converts representation into vassalage to the leaders of parties, disciplined, not by the comparatively honourable infliction of the lash, but by the base and wicked sophism, that it is honourable to stick to a party, and treacherous to adhere to conscience. The disciples of this infamous doctrine are forged into tools for ambition and tyranny by praises and rewards, whilst honesty is discouraged by base epithets, as a foil to the varnish with which the decoys are painted, designed to deceive and enslave the multitude

John Taylor of Caroline from his 1814 book "An Inquiry Into the Principles & Policy of the Government of the United States"
