Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.

For far too long, these topics have been swept under the rug, but this podcast fearlessly dives into them head-on. It is refreshing to see a mainstream Christian organization finally addressing these concerns and providing valuable insight.

    Thousands of leftist, revolutionary college students are currently assembling on campuses, fervently calling for the end of Israel while perpetuating acts of antisemitism. At the same time, a sizable number of young rightist groups on social media platforms are also propagating antisemitic remarks, while advocating for an authoritarian new world order that is notably aligned with "Christianity." It is crucial to recall that similar protests occurred in 2020 during the George Floyd riots, which took place amid the Covid lockdowns. Additionally, there were protests related to supporting Ukraine against Russia, that could be appropriately referred to as "hate week" (George Orwell, 1984). The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. It is important to bear in mind that the primary objective of these orchestrated hate-filled riots from the left, as well as the social media hate propagated by far-right groups like the Groypers, is to create instability within our nation. The intention behind this destabilization is clear: to ignite a revolution. This is because, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. You find yourself amid an endeavor to transition our world from a system based on objective truth, reality, and liberty, and into a realm dominated by radical subjectivism, hyperreality, and authoritarian governance. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2024 Sovereign Nations.

    Limited Hangout | Public Occurrences, Ep. 118

    In today's complex and deceptive American landscape, information and knowledge hold immense influence over the choices we make as individuals and as a society. However, not all information that is presented to the public is reliable or comprehensive. One concept that unveils this phenomenon is known as a "limited hangout." This term, coined by former CIA officer Victor Marchetti, describes a strategy utilized by governments, intelligence agencies, or organizations to disseminate selective or manipulated information in order to divert attention away from more damaging revelations. A limited hangout can manifest in various ways, with its primary goal being the manipulation of public perception while creating an artificial sense of transparency. The orchestrators of a limited hangout strategically disclose only a portion of sensitive or incriminating information concerning a particular event or issue. This diversionary tactic aims to divert attention from deeper truths and enable control over the narrative. Consequently, this technique effectively obscures reality and facilitates manipulation. One classic example of a limited hangout can be seen in government investigations into controversial events such as political scandals or high-profile crimes. In some cases, authorities may selectively release certain documents or evidence while withholding others that could expose deeper levels of corruption or wrongdoings. By providing just enough information for plausible deniability while distorting the overall picture, those involved in limited hangouts can protect their interests and manipulate public opinion. Examples of limited hangouts in modern times include the revelation of Jeffrey Epstein's client lists, the hypothesis about a lab leak causing COVID-19, and the infamous Twitter files that exposed interference by the FBI and other government agencies in relation to stories about Hunter Biden's laptop during the 2020 Presidential election. Unfortunately, no one involved in these crimes or controversies has faced punishment or been convicted for their actions against minors, which is considered one of the most abhorrent crimes against humanity. Additionally, there has been no accountability for violating the first amendment rights of millions of Americans. The intelligence agencies merely provide insufficient information to divert public attention and hope that these stories will eventually fade away. Meanwhile, those responsible for committing heinous crimes go unpunished and unaccountable. In today's podcast, Michael O'Fallon explores the reasons behind the utilization of limited hangouts and its implications for a distressed U.S. population amidst the tumultuous year of 2024. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2024 Sovereign Nations.

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 14 Leftist activism often seeks direct victories but resorts to an action-reaction strategy when faced with obstacles. This political warfare tactic involves provoking a response, controlling how it's portrayed to the audience, and using it to further their agenda. Saul Alinsky's principle, "your enemy's reaction is your real action," underpins this approach, involving a two-step process of provocation and advancement. In the United States, where conservative Christianity poses a significant challenge to Marxist influence, a movement known as "Christian Nationalism" is deliberately stirred to nullify Christian resistance against the spread of Woke ideology. Dr. James Lindsay's lecture delves into the action-reaction dynamic as a political tool and exposes the deliberate setup of Christian Nationalism as a response to Woke provocations, serving as a critical warning to the American church. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

I was joined by John Connell, Bill Roach, James Lindsay, Jon Benzinger, and Andy Woodard as we delved into an intriguing discussion. Their focus was on understanding the mechanisms behind the rise of reflexive movements within the church, such as the Neo-Marxist Woke Church movement on the fringe left (Marcusians) and the reactionary Christian Nationalism movement on the cringe right (Schmittians). These movements, they argued, possess the ability to gain momentum and insidiously seize control of the church, acting as parasitic forces that disrupt and dismantle previously united groups. In both situations, entryism was the primary strategy employed by both external and internal agitating forces. -Michael O'Fallon https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 12 Today, it seems we can't agree on anything anymore. Movements like Marxist social justice and Christian Nationalism have inserted conflict into Evangelicalism, separating brothers, decimating institutions, and muddying established doctrine. In this message, Dr. Jon Benzinger laments this fact, calls Christians to unity with other Christians (Rom 12:16, 1 Cor 1:10, Eph 4:3-6), and to stop listening to Christians who are causing division (Rom 16:17, 2 Cor 11:4, Titus 3:10). The Evangelical church has been a united bulwark against cultural revolutions for decades. Those who see us as their enemies infiltrate our institutions and introduce mini-revolutions into the church because they actually listened to Jesus when He said that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Matt 12:25). If we can't stop the in-fighting and unite against the real enemy—satanic tyranny on both the right and the left—it could be too late for our Republic. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

I believe that with all my heart. Let me tell you something else I believe – no man or prince or church or any form of centralized power has any business telling anyone what they can and can't believe. Whether deists or Christians, the founders of this nation had the wisdom to put it in writing that the government had to steer clear of telling Christians and/or the church what they can or cannot do or what they can or cannot believe. Unbelievably, there are now those who actually want to establish the United States as a Christian nation with power concentrated in one person. Are you kidding me?

    While there are a number of reasons both historical and biblical to avoid and oppose the concept(s) of Christian Nationalism, there are a few underlying points that don't seem to have garnered enough attention. The idea that America's core values and constitution need to be uprooted and replaced with a new founding lies at the core of this movement. But in addition to this, many of the ideas put forth have distorted biblical concepts such as the great commission, submission to government and the usage of the Law. These distortions are necessary in order for Christian Nationalism to present itself with any sort of uniformity. A movement that seeks to rule a nation needs a leader, and the main proponents of this new nation have suggested a “Christian Prince”, and no, they don't mean the one who is currently ruling the Universe and died on the cross for your sins. This Christian Prince will hold the highest office in the land and will be the image of God on the earth. This figure is not only yet another vicar of Christ, but also suspiciously similar to the Messiah that first century Jews expected in contrast to Jesus of Nazareth. Anyone who has not been deceived by a woke culture can see and understand that there certainly has been and is an ongoing attempt at a neo-Marxist revolution from within America's institutions. But the proper response to an attempt at totalitarianism is not more totalitarianism, even if it's (deceitfully) called Christian. -Nick Shalna https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 9 There's rioting in the streets, illegals pouring across our border, mutilation of our children, the murder of the unborn, corruption in our politics and elections, and globalist leaders enacting perverse agendas to create an apocalyptic utopia. What are Christians to do in the face of such dire circumstances? Today many people are turning to Christian nationalism for hope and an attempt at answers to the societal decay we see all around us. Before we can examine the false hope of Christian Nationalism, we need to first consider the discrepancies over definitions. There are many different views, all claiming the title. The second point to consider is the theology of the movement. Though it is diverse, one point in common across the movement's branches is that Christian Nationalism is a theology of glory, rather than a theology of the cross. “At its core, Christian Nationalism can justifiably be called a ‘theology of glory' that seeks to build the Kingdom of God on the earth without necessarily requiring gospel preaching or conversion. Its central focus is morality, politics & power. None of which are actually overtly Christian.” -Andy Woodard In this talk we consider a few biblical passages which offer both examples of a theology of glory and a theology of the cross and conclude with the following points of application. 1. Recognize that it's not too late to repent. Hebrews 3:13 2. Acknowledge the sovereignty of God. Daniel 2:21 3. Put NO confidence in princes. Psalm 146:3 4. Do not despise the little things. 1 Samuel 14:6 5. Boldly, Clearly speak the truth. 2 Corinthians 4:2 6. Trust wholly in the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7 7. Confront evil in the camp when necessary. 1 Corinthians 5:12 https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 8 Numerous attempts have been made to decipher the political framework embodied by the World Economic Forum and the United Nations, yet a crucial element in comprehending the underlying motives of these roundtable groups has often been overlooked: faith. Faith stands as the pivotal ingredient in the forthcoming system the World Economic Forum and the United Nations propose. The collaboration between the public and private sectors within the World Economic Forum and the United Nations bears resemblance to a fascist model. Similarly, one could also identify certain communist or neo-communist traits in their policies and strategies for global influence. However, the introduction of faith as a fundamental element in the governance model introduces a crucial moral dimension, akin to a "third leg of the stool." This incorporation of religion transforms the model from a mere manifestation of national socialism or unadulterated fascism into a form of integralism, specifically a progressive, leftist neo-integralism with enviro-communist qualities. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    Christian Nationalism: The Danger and the Draw | Dr. William Roach

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 7 Christian Nationalism is a divisive movement within evangelical circles, with some seeing it as a stabilizing force in a turbulent society while others argue it blurs the separation between Church and State, resembling totalitarian regimes. Defining Christian Nationalism is challenging, as various factions offer local interpretations, leaving room for manipulation by progressive movements through linguistic tactics. Some Reformed Christian Nationalists criticize the Woke movement's subjectivity but inadvertently adopt their own form of subjective epistemology. Popular expressions of Christian Nationalism often mix elements of Scholastic Reformed Protestantism with Hegelian social and governmental ideas and draw influence from theonomists seeking to impose ancient Israel's laws, even advocating for new blasphemy laws. These positions ignore America's foundations of religious freedom and free speech. Some segments of the movement risk undermining the Reformation's core principles in pursuit of political expediency, forgetting that the Reformation emphasized grace, faith, Christ, Scripture, and the glory of God alone, not compromising these principles for political gain. -Dr. William Roach.

    With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 6 It's crucial to understand that the Left operates strategically, guided by a framework known as "dialectical political warfare." This dialectical approach involves merging truths with falsehoods to advance their agenda. Political warfare, in essence, employs political means with hostile intent to influence an adversary's behavior – propaganda being a prime example. One cannot discuss this without acknowledging the mastermind of dialectical political warfare, Mao Zedong, the Communist leader of China until his passing in 1976. His tactics and the cultural revolution he orchestrated demonstrate the formidable and devastating power of dialectical political warfare, and the concerning reality is that we're witnessing its echoes right here in America and across the Western world today. While Mao claimed to be applying "Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics" in China, the current "Woke" and environmental "Sustainability" movements should be understood as "Maoist Marxism with American Characteristics." In this insightful lecture by Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses, you'll see the striking parallels between our contemporary experiences and the strategies employed in Mao's China, leaving us with the inescapable conclusion that we are currently navigating nothing less than American Maoism. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

I wanted freedom. America was my promised land. I was 23 when I fled tyranny. Arriving with $100 in my pocket and knowing very little English. I worked hard to make my American dream come true. Today I am happily married with three children, have my own businesses, and live in the Granite State where the spirit of liberty resides. My concern is that my children and grandchildren will not have the same opportunities I had. I see the shadow of authoritarianism cast by politicians who have locked us down, closed small businesses, inflated our money, and mortgaged our children's future. I saw it all before in China: the division of society, silencing dissident voices, taking away parental rights, the indoctrination of youth, endless government mandates and control. People are losing their rights to make a living and make their own life choices. Woke culture and tactics are similar to Mao's cultural revolution I survived. Weaponizing of government agencies to target political opponents remind me of Communist China. Are you worried yet? I am. I fear that the country I love is becoming like the country I left.

    Horrible events have been taking place over the last year or so that have been electronically pushed into our social media streams. It seems as if each event is worse than the previous one with grotesque images of grown men dancing in women's underwear in front of small children. As I am sure you already know, it is called Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH). With every new video that comes through social media, normal conservative men and women are both horrified and compelled to try and do something about stopping the next DQSH in their area. DQSH basically follows the same prescriptions as Marxist Herbert Marcuse had prescribed in his book, Eros and Civilization: “The psychoanalytic liberation of memory explodes the rationality of the repressed individual. As cognition gives way to re-cognition, the forbidden images and impulses of childhood begin to tell the truth that reason denies.” The relatively new movement called “Christian Nationalism” has sensed the collective anger in regard to DQSH and has attempted to place the ending of DQSH at the forefront of their efforts to attract new supporters for their political and ecclesial ambitions. As repulsive as DQSH is for our society, is the Church missing something in what appears to be a myopic call to jump into Christian Nationalism as the cure-all for this provocative event? The fact is, the Church has done very little to correct its own issues that are somewhat related to the same root problem: Marxism. In the Church, we have experienced the Marxification of Christianity, and yet, no one seems to be in a hurry to remove the spectre of Marxism from the Church. So what is the right path for the Church to take? https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    The Deceptive Rise of Techno-Populism | Public Occurrences, Ep. 112

    Progressive technocrats with an eye towards top-down control have several strategies that they employ that will allow them to continue to move the Overton window towards eventual autocratic control and away from established liberty-minded social contracts: Aggressive overthrows of federal and local governments through the seizure of election processes, judicial appointments and control of corporate partners to create pathways around legal structures. Fabian strategies of becoming a “wolf in sheep's clothing” by masking true intentions with rightist, populist rhetoric to gain grassroots support that will eventually lead to the same policies advocated by progressive globalists. A technocracy, to put it simply, is a form of governance that can be boiled down to a “rule by experts.” A broader definition of a technocracy can be described as “A form of government in which the decision-maker or makers are selected based on their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge.”(Berndt, Ernst R. (1982)) A technocracy explicitly contrasts with a constitutional, representative democracy: the notion that elected representatives should be the primary decision-makers in government. Techno-populism has been on the rise in Europe over the past several years with candidates and entire political parties gaining the trust of men and women frustrated with the autocratic drift of their nations. While there have been some examples of Techno-populism that have grassroot beginnings and honest intentions, many techno-populist movements have been hijacked by corporate and globalist interests that grift off of authentic and real concerns such as the rise of “woke” politics and culture within our world. Sadly, many of the recent “conservative” victories by techno-populists have been anything but conservative with technocrats such as Giorgia Meloni, Boris Johnson and Glenn Youngkin securing victories in Italy, the U.K. and Virginia. These techno-populist lure the voting public in with well-tuned rhetoric but then eventually lead with an eye towards globalist, authoritarian, top-down control. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    If you were to think back to 2017, you might remember a United States that seemed very different than the nation that we live in today. Economic stability was becoming a reality after 8 years of socialistic policies of the Obama Administration. The national mood of the United States was on the upswing with hope for a brighter tomorrow. People made plans, were confident in their investments and trusted their healthcare officials. But all throughout 2017 and 2018 there was a boiling of issues that were just underneath the surface: -Critical Race Theory was being taught in our schools, churches, and corporate class -A strong anti-American sentiment was consistent in our media and entertainment -Our global system was moving in a collective direction -The World Economic Forum was pushing a neo-fascist strategy for the planet -Soros and others were manipulating our judicial system -Our financials systems were heading towards paradigm shifts towards ESG governance -China was digitally colonizing Asia, Africa and portions of Europe and South America On October 31st, 2017, Sovereign Nations began our mission to provide the answers to what would be coming to our nation and world in the years to come. From alerting the nation about the coming threat of CRT, to providing the first warnings about a “Great Reset” and “Big Sort”, Sovereign Nations has consistently led the way in providing warnings to the public about the shape of things to come and how to halt the progress of enviro-communo-fascism.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 12 In the Esoteric Religion known as Hermeticism, there are a number of core principles of operation, perhaps most famously the Principle of Correspondence. It's often worded "As above, so below," but this is only half of the principle. The full expression is "As above, so below; as below, so above," which outlines a snake eating its own tail as a driver of Hermetic alchemical magic. In his third lecture for the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, Dr. James Lindsay explains how this principle is a driver of what he calls the "Secret Religions of the West" in an elucidating way. He contends that Karl Marx was the first to realize that the principle of correspondence must be applied from the bottom. Working on the world (as below) to change it (so above), and then the world (as above), changed, will socialize and condition people (so below) to accept the changes and make them "actual." Marx called these two dynamics "praxis" and the "inversion of praxis," but now we can expose them clearly for what they are. Join Dr. Lindsay to understand the mechanism behind the activism in many evils, including Marxism, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory and feminism, Modern empire building, and even right-wing reactionary response, which plays its crucial role in this ongoing dynamic of destruction. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    The Faith of the 4th Industrial Revolution | Michael O'Fallon

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2023 41:42


    Mere Simulacrity, Session 11 We are in the midst of transitioning from an objectively true, historically consistent, analogue world and into a world that is subjectively purposed, revolutionary, and digital in construct. In fact, more so than ever before, we are in a period of time where the “what is” is being demonized and the wizard's trick of “what it should be” is being lauded as a preferred pathway to the real. A hyperreal world of dreams, visions, technology and digital realization is in many ways attempting to take the place of what mankind has always called “reality.” In the late second century, the Christian Bishop, Irenaeus of Lyon, confronted the Gnostic parasitic cult of Valentinus which proposed that this physical world was a “prison” by which men and women needed to be liberated through Gnostic faith and practice. More specifically understood as “anticosmicism”, the Gnostics proclaimed the belief that the objectively knowable world is inherently evil and opposed to the divine. In the Gnostic formulation of their transformed Christianity, true divinity was not the essence of this real, natural world, but its negation and cancellation. Irenaeus of Lyon warned Christians that this parasitic religion of Gnosticism was a religion masquerading as the Gospel but in reality was a simulacrum of true Christianity: “Error, indeed is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced more true than truth itself.” -Irenaeus of Lyons, AD 180 The Gnostics did not seek harmony with the natural world or with the normative Christian understanding of cultivation and dominion. Instead, the Gnostics attempted to parasitically transform the established Christian faith that sought harmony with God's creation and instead promoted the false concept of the mystical, otherworldly insight that our world must be seen as unnatural and even anti-natural. The natural, in the Gnostic sense, was only available to those that have embraced special knowledge or what can be described as a critical consciousness of the natural world. The way that things are in a natural sense to the Gnostics was “imprisonment” and the mystical otherness of what was not naturally attainable was “liberation.” If you were a woman in the natural and objectively knowable world, in the spiritually anti-natural world the woman's true self was actually that of a man who has been imprisoned by the Demiurgic forces of the natural world. This denial of the objectively real and knowable experienced a renaissance in the 18th and 19th centuries through the works of Swedenborg, Kant, Hegel and eventually Karl Marx. As Dr. James Lindsay has explained at Sovereign Nation's conferences in the past, Marxism is a Neo-Gnostic theology where Man is made to realize he is his own Creator, his own true Sun that revolves around itself. Marx sees himself as the light-bringer, Lucifer, the Morning Star, that awakens this Gnostic consciousness and rebels against God and order. It has continued to this day with further gain of function through Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse and a host of other Neo-Marxists who have embraced unreality and rejected objective standards for truth, life, and human existence. In this powerful presentation from the Sovereign Nation's Mere Simulacrity Conference, Michael O'Fallon explains how the spectre of Gnosticism has been infused into our culture, our faith, and our world. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 10 In this lecture from the Sovereign Nations “Mere Simulacrity” conference that was held in Phoenix, AZ, Patrick Wood elucidates the struggle for not just preserving human autonomy and human liberty but also for preserving humanity itself. It is the technocrat's vision of creating “new life” or of engineering life in a purposed, strategic, and goal-oriented direction that leads inevitably to both creating “god” and creating a new, integrated, infused version of humanity 2.0 (and beyond). Wood traces the decades-long movement of transhumanism from international think tanks to eventual international collaboration as the pursuit to alchemically deliver the operational success of a transformed, obedient, interfaced humanity became an acceptable goal of the technocratic elite. The elites that guide our politics, our finances and our faith have determined that this is an inevitable pathway for mankind. In this lecture, Patrick Wood disagrees and proposes that the only way forward is by taking the moral high ground and encouraging men and women everywhere to gain knowledge, become informed and resist the movement to transform humanity. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 9 I started my presentation by showing that objective truth exists and it is a biblical concept, which demonstrates that all worldviews that deny the existence of objective truth are automatically false. Then, I presented Christianity as the true story of reality because it matches reality, is internally consistent, and is based on a reliable authority, namely, the resurrected Jesus of Nazareth who is the truth (John 14:6) and who's teachings are based on the Word of truth, the Bible (John 17:17). From there, I presented what the Bible says about false teaching and showed how in the New Testament false teaching is always an attempt to counterfeit the real thing. Then, I showed the 5-step process for how false teaching sought to embed itself in the early church with Gnosticism (e.g., Colossians and 1 John) and the Judaizers (e.g., Galatians). I concluded the message with a 5 point challenge for how Christians must respond to the false teaching that is seeking to infiltrate their lives today. -Jon Benzinger https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

And while the function of the World Economic Forum's modus operandi is properly described as a two-legged stool: a public-private partnership that is attempting to leverage the corporate and financial giants of the world with the governmental leaders of their own making to usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But a two-legged stool cannot stand on its own. A two-legged stool will ultimately fall. To properly support the weight of complete societal and systemic change, faith must be introduced as the third leg of the completed World Economic Forum stool. And so, faith leaders of the world have been incentivized to participate in helping to create a critical consciousness within the minds of their faithful flocks. Roman Catholic Integralists have led the way to creating the three-part faith-infused process of governance in the 20th and 21st centuries. Dom Helder Camara, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Recife, Brazil introduced the mechanisms of integralism in the early 1970s and as well influenced the Catholic Church's current Pontifex Maximus, Pope Francis. This “Catholic-Fascistic-Totalitarianism” has manifested itself in movements that have taken the Protestant Church by storm over the last year. From Rick Warren to Richard Land to Pope Francis, thousands of faith leaders have capitulated to the seemingly inevitable dialectical spiral into digital totalitarianism and Hermetic/Gnostic dreams of Alice Bailey and the Theosophists.

These are the Modern and Postmodern manifestations of the Esoteric Religions like Gnosticism and Hermeticism as they developed through what we might consider the Middle Age's "New Age" period, famously codified by G.W.F.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 4 What has led the Christian Church down the roads of numerous Mass Formation Psychosis programs over the past 10 years across evangelicalism? Mass Formation Psychosis occurs when a significantly large group of people myopically focuses its attention on a leader or a series of events and their attention focuses on one small point or issue. Followers can be hypnotized and be led anywhere, regardless of data proving otherwise. We have seen this materialize across evangelicalism through the massive campaigns run through The Gospel Coalition, the ERLC, and various seminaries in Baptist, Presbyterian and Charismatic denominations. From CRT, to intersectionality, to Revoice, to all myriads of Christianized schemes for the faithful to embrace DEI, the reflexive campaigns led by corrupt “Christian Leaders” have led millions astray and down a road of psychological manipulation. In this discussion enters Jean Baudrillard and his understanding of hyperreality the creation of synthetic reality, which is not reality at all: it is the creation of something that is more real than real. It is beyond propaganda, but propaganda is certainly utilized. It is the creation of simulacra and simulation. And in this world of simulacrums, we are being told to ignore what was held to be orthodox, normative and true and embrace hyperreality: an unreality that has no connection with that which it claims to represent. This continuation of this process leads to the development of a faith that is not the faith that was faithfully handed down from generation to generation. What this process leads to is a rough simulated beast of C.S. Lewis' “Mere Christianity”. What it leads to is “Mere Simulacrity.” Join Sovereign Nations Founder Michael O'Fallon as he begins his three-part series on “Mere Simulacrity.” https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

Though not referring to it by name, the post-millennial eschatological framework provides the foundation for their globalist, utopian vision.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 2 Throughout the ages, theological and philosophical movements have been advanced based upon half-truths, false rhetoric, and equivocations championed as axiomatic principles. Theologians and philosophers, whether they are evangelical or non-evangelical, still use similar rhetorical devices to champion claims that undercut the concept of a universally valid approach to knowledge. They will say things such as: People have different perspectives, right? Clearly your background and personal biases influence your reading of the Bible or any other text, right? It would be overly prideful to claim that anyone particular person has the correct interpretation of the text, so why don't you take a humbler approach? Fundamental to these questions is a half-truth; namely, the fact that people do approach events, texts, or situations from different vantage points. However, underlying this approach is a philosophical commitment to the belief we cannot have universally valid frameworks of understanding. Many believe any commitment to a universally valid framework of understanding ought to be considered arrogant, white, western, patriarchal, or racist. Essential to this line of reasoning are one of many philosophical approaches to reality known as idealism, subjectivity, relativism, perspectivalism, or any other “ism” that affirms all we have are interpretations, not knowledge. Dr. Bill Roach traces the rise of different idealistic revolutions up to the present day embrace of the existential method by evangelical scholars and pastors. He addresses Plato's metaphysical idealistic, Kant's epistemological idealistic revolution, Schleiermacher's hermeneutical idealistic revolution, and Post-Modernism's linguistic idealistic revolution. Special emphasis is placed upon leading figures in philosophical hermeneutics and the various ways present-day scholars, whether secular or evangelical, have embraced one or more of the various expressions of philosophical idealism. Dr. Roach concludes with a call to embrace philosophical realism as a corrective to the varying idealistic revolutions throughout the history of ideas. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

    Mere Simulacrity, Session 1 If you want to impose a totalitarian system, you have a problem on your hands: reality. The real is in your way and will eventually veto your project. Far sooner, people who can perceive reality will step in and prevent you from taking society over a cliff. Therefore, the only way to install a totalitarian system is to negate the real in the minds of those over whom you would rule. This is accomplished by creating an interpretive frame that deliberately causes people to misunderstand reality, sometimes called a "second reality" or "pseudoreality," or even a "hyperreality," which loses all contact with reality through its images and constructions. The totalitarian system "works" and would only work in that false image of reality. In his first talk at the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, Dr. James Lindsay presents the idea and mechanism of negating the real to replace it with a hyperreal simulation in which totalitarianism can be accomplished.

    There is a common error that is made today by many well-meaning commentators that are attempting to assess our civilizational transition being handed to the world via the World Economic Forum and the United Nations: that the move is towards secularism. The fact is, the entire transformational process that mankind is being forcibly pulled through is a cult indoctrination ritual. Beginning with -Fear -Isolation -Psychic Driving -Denial of Individuality -Obedience -Indoctrination -Resurrection As the old is discarded and the new is embraced, the religion of the old “gods” and the old world is shown the door. A new “god” for a new digital age is in the process of being ushered into space reserved for the old religions. The new A.I. god will be omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent - at least as far as the limits of current technology will allow for the new sentient being. You would think that the leaders of the world's major religions such as Evangelical Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and Islam would do everything in their power to stop this digital god before it attempts to take it's technocratic throne. Quite the opposite. The leaders of Churches, Synagogues, Temples and Mosques around the globe are paving the way for the “god” that they really fear: the “god” made by human hands. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

Trump -Relaxing restrictions on discussions regarding Covid And in the latest news, Musk has revealed the interaction between Twitter employees, members of the Democratic Party and the FBI. What could go wrong? In this cautionary podcast, Michael O'Fallon reminds us of the history of China, the Hundred Flowers Campaign and the strange similarities between Musk's Twitter saga and the Maoist program that ended with the capture of nearly all political dissidents in Communist China. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

What forces, both externally and internally, contributed to the deconstruction and failings of our trusted institutions? What must individuals do now to rebuild and reject the arrogance and naivety that created the greatest systemic failure in the history of mankind? https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

    The Role of Consciousness and the Evolution of the Gospel of Marxism | James Lindsay

    The Theology of Marxism, Session 9 In this ninth session of Sovereign Nations's "The Theology of Marxism" conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2022, Dr. James Lindsay discusses the process of rebirth in the theology of Marxism, "conscientization," and the next turn of the Leftist Dialectic, "Sustainability." In that Marxism is a theology that gives birth to a religion of Communism, it has to also have a process of conversion. That process was not well-developed under Karl Marx, but it grew over the intervening century and a half and came to be known as "conscientization." As Marxism entered its cultural turn in the 1920s, Theorists like Gyorgy Lukacs recognized that "class consciousness" unfolds in stages and is educable, though the last steps remained elusive and mysterious. By the 1980s, Theorists like Paulo Freire developed the process of conscientization further into a critical and even utopian consciousness that can be used to mobilize converts to transform the world. As we learn from the United Nations and its Agenda 2030, however, the next phase in transformation is to mobilize this utopian consciousness to create a sustained regime branded as a "sustainable and inclusive future." Thus, they forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals "to transform our world" and are beginning to gear conscientization in that direction. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

    While most faithful Catholics would associate the power and influence of the Vatican with the sacramental gospel of Rome, the dispensing of grace and the canonization of saints, the Vatican and the current Pontifex Marximus have been more concerned with promoting socialism through ecumenical organizations such as The Council for Inclusive Capitalism (https://www.inclusivecapitalism.com/the-moral-imperative-for-inclusive-capitalism/). As with nearly all movements created by the cabal of investors, governments, corporations and movers and shakers associated with the World Economic Forum, the fertile fallacy known as “inclusive capitalism” is anything but capitalism. In fact, inclusive capitalism is nothing more than costumed socialism creating a revenue redistribution scheme - and using guilt, virtue and religion to qualify their strategies. Joining Pope Francis in this cabal are Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Mark Benioff, Mark Carney and corporations and financial institutions such as AIG, Bank of America, AT&T, BP, Deloitte, Dupont, Franklin Templeton, H&R Block, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Mastercard, Merck, Visa, RNS and a host of other “Great Reset” supporting organizations. What is happening? What is happening is a reset of our national and global financial systems.

    This past weekend, I participated in TPUSA's “Defeating the Great Reset” conference in Phoenix, AZ. Steve Bannon, Jack Posobeic, my colleague James Lindsay and our host, Charlie Kirk, joined me at the conference. Throughout the conference, we spoke about *what* the World Economic Forum (WEF) is, how it operates and what it does. Each man had his prescription for defeating the Great Reset (or at least the effects thereof) and our pathway to regain national sovereignty under the constitution. But one thing is very clear: to defeat the Great Reset we must as well end the WEF. The WEF stands at the center of creating a corporatist state whose tentacles have reached far into education, economics, industry, human flourishing and faith. The WEF has provided the Rousseauean pillars by which to build a dialectical operational system meant to replace our reliable systems of capitalism and governance. In this episode, I will examine the actual functioning of how the WEF is eliminating small and medium-sized businesses and how we can reverse the systemic disassembling of our civilization. -Michael O'Fallon https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

    The Theology of Marxism, Session 8 It should be noted that since the beginning of time that as soon as a tyrant takes control of a nation, region, or civilization they will demand a few things: -Property -Obedience -Worship In this transition to new “systems” each of these pillars of the previous civilization will need to be reborn or “reset” in the conquering of people. In our current age, our nation and culture are being deconstructed by those that would seek to create a cultural revolution within our nation, subversively, and replace that once great nation with a hyperreal new social contract. This new social contract will re-imagine human liberty, economics, mobility, family and faith. Faith is the bedrock on which many in our nation have built and framed their lives. But just like every other pillar of our nation, faith is being deconstructed and reconstructed by the same Marxian actors that have envisioned the enviro-communo-fascist state. Sadly, many of those trusted to guard our institutions of faith have been lured into the false promises of the societal reconstructionists. Leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention, the Presbyterian Church in America, Pentecostals, Roman Catholics and others have been brought into the schemes and strategies to “reset” our world.

    The Theology of Marxism, Session 6 In this sixth session of Sovereign Nations's "The Theology of Marxism" conference, Dr. James Lindsay addresses the titular theme of the conference: The Theology of Marxism. For a century and a half, people have failed to recognize Marxism for what it is, a theology. Marx's emphasis on Atheism and strict materialism in all things have obscured from view what Marxism really is. Well, it is not a social theory. It is not an economic theory. It is a theology that sees economic and related social conditions as that which shapes human lives and, if born again into the faith, compels them to seize those means of human production and repurpose them to achieve the Marxian eschatology. That eschatology goes by a few names, but the most identifiable are "Communism," "Liberation," and "Social Justice." https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.
