This is episode 52 of the Hidden History of Texas - The Compromise of 1850 and some Texans are already angry and ready to leave the union This is episode 52 of the Hidden History of Texas - The Compromise of 1850 and some Texans are already angry and ready to leave the union In the past few episodes, I've talked about relations between Texas and Mexico, Anglos and Mexicans, and how slavery was part and parcel of life in Texas. The fact that there was, and in reality, still is racial animosity and other types of bigotry towards non-whites and non-protestants among the Anglo citizens of Texas isn't, or at least shouldn't be a surprise. The earliest Anglo settlers primarily came from the Southern states and carried with them their culture. They were very much like a large percentage of those who resided in many of the States, including some in the north. At the same time America was flexing its muscles and trying to expand its territory. From 1845 to 1865, America operated under the concept of Manifest Destiny as put forth by John L O'Sullivan when in 1845, he wrote, “…the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions”. Although originally written as a defense in the argument for admitting Texas into the Union, the article laid the foundation for justification of government actions that consequently had a negative effect on those who fell outside of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant group. By 1850 one outgrowth of this belief was the birth of a secretive society known as the American Order. The group stood firmly against Catholics, foreigners, and supported restrictions on immigration. They came to be known as the “National American Party' or more commonly labeled the “Know-Nothing” political party. In Texas, they were known as the “American Party” and as a whole they argued that any foreign-born citizen be barred from voting or holding public office. In Texas, the party was anti-Mexican, pro-slavery, and they pledged to vote only for native-born Protestants for public office. Remember from last episode, after the Mexican and American war ended, Texas wanted to annex the eastern part of New Mexico. Texas was also insistent on making certain that slave owners were not only allowed to keep their slaves but also to acquire more. Southern states who identified with the Texas political views also wanted to make certain that Texas was a slave state. It was not only Texas that the Southern leaders were concerned with; they also began to insist that ALL of the territory that was acquired as a result of the treaty of Guadalupe-Hildago that ended the war be opened to slavery. Needless to say, this did not sit well with those in the north who were abolitionists, and they were determined to prevent this from taking place. Meanwhile Robert S. Neighbors, who had been sent to New Mexico by then Texas Governor Peter Bell to organize the 4 eastern counties of New Mexico into a part of Texas failed in his mission. As a result of his failure in June of 1850 there was a public outcry where some called for the use of military force to take the territory and still others called for secession from the Union. Governor Bell chose to call a special session of the legislature (in Texas the legislature only meets every 2 years, usually it keeps them out of trouble) to deal with the issue. However, even before the session began, things managed to get worse. The government in New Mexico put forth a proposed constitution for a future state and the citizens easily approved it. In their constitution, they declared the state's boundaries to include the land claimed by Texas. At this point, President Fillmore decided to become involved, and he ordered that the army should reinforce their contingent that was stationed in New Mexico. He also publicly proclaimed that if any militiamen from Texas entered the area,

They discuss Wade's background in comedy, his love for David Letterman and Seinfeld, and the challenges of enjoying comedy as a Christian. They also touch on the transgressive nature of some comedians and the balance between humor and vulgarity. In this conversation, Wade and Chase discuss the state of comedy and the role of comedians in society. They explore the idea that some comedians lack a happy life and use comedy as a way to cope with their sadness. They also touch on the topic of navigating controversial comedy as a Christian and the importance of developing a personal sniff test for what is acceptable. Wade then shifts the conversation to the concept of the Constitution being dead and the transformations that have occurred in the American order. Finally, they discuss the rise of managerialism in the church and the need to redefine success and prioritize biblical principles over cultural trends.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background of Wade Stotts05:29 Wade's Comedy Obsession and Journey08:04 The Influence of David Letterman and Seinfeld12:48 Letterman's Transgressive Comedy21:13 The Controversy Surrounding Michael Richards28:54 Transgressive Comedy and Free Speech31:20 The Cynical Worldview of Some Comedians32:49 The Relationship Between Comedy and Happiness34:31 Navigating Controversial Comedy as a Christian42:43 The Death of the Constitution and the American Order50:39 The Rise of Managerialism in the Church56:29 Redefining Success in the ChurchSupport the Show.Sign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

The Heritage Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom are honored to announce that the renowned author and social activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali will deliver the 2024 Russell Kirk Lecture. Hirsi Ali has received innumerable awards and honors for her courageous opposition to political Islamism and vigorous advocacy of the besieged Western traditions of freedom of religion, inquiry, and speech. Her Russell Kirk Lecture will be an important extension of her thinking to the current upheavals in the Middle East and in Western culture and politics.Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in Somalia in 1969 and was raised there, in Saudi Arabia, and in Kenya. In 1992, en route to an arranged marriage to a distant cousin, Hirsi Ali escaped to the Netherlands, where she eventually became a leading member of the Dutch Parliament. She came to the United States in 2006, accepting a fellowship at the American Enterprise Institute, and became an American citizen in 2013. Her dramatic life story and the evolution of her political thinking are related in her best-selling books Infidel (2006), Nomad (2010), Heretic (2015), and Prey (2021). She is a prolific essayist, and her recent “Why I Am Now a Christian” (UnHerd, Nov. 11, 2023) has attracted worldwide attention. Presently, Hirsi Ali is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and founder of the AHA Foundation.The namesake of the lecture, famed scholar Russell Kirk (1918–1994), established the philosophical foundations of the modern conservative movement with his landmark books The Conservative Mind (1953) and The Roots of American Order (1974). He was instrumental in the founding of National Review and Modern Age and was for many years a distinguished fellow of The Heritage Foundation.Kirk's political philosophy, summarized in his “six cannons of conservatism,” emphasized tradition and convention, transcendence and piety, political prudence, and ordered liberty. His application of those canons to contemporary issues, in a steady stream of essays, lectures, and newspaper columns, was always noteworthy and often provocative and controversial. Today, his works and legacy are being preserved and advanced by The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.The Russell Kirk Lecture Series recognizes eminent thinkers in the tradition of “the father of American conservatism.” Previous lecturers are Bishop Robert Barron, Robert George, Roger Scruton, Shelby Steele, George Nash, Robert Reilly, David Goldman, Roger Kimball, and Gary Saul Morson.

The post World War II American Order maintained a mostly peaceful world for decades. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have destroyed that world order making World War III a real possibility.Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) is one of the good guys in Congress. He took on Joe Biden's dystopian "kill switch" automakers will be forced to put in any car sold after 2026. The kill switch will shut off your car if an algorithm decides you're not driving according to government standards. What could possibly go wrong? Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is retiring. He'll run on the No Labels party for President, making the 2024 Presidential election even more chaotic.

Today the Pugs reflect on a short essay by Patrick Deneen published in the Post-Liberal Substack, entitled, In Defense of Order. In the essay Deneen reflects on a book, originally published in 1974 by Russell Kirk, The Roots of American Order. The call to order is hardly heard today over the cacophony of voices praising, and demanding liberty. Yet according to classical thinkers, liberty without order ultimately leads to tyranny. And more and more that seems to be the case in our time. Join the Pugs today as they ruminate on the nature of ordered liberty. In Defense of Order - Part 1, by Patrick J.

Join us for a very special 4th of July Episode, where we examine the philosophical roots of the American order and how the present battles in the courts and halls of legislatures are nothing more than an attack on what Thomas Jefferson knew, that the liberties of a nation cannot be secured if we remove their only foundation, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God.

“Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” – ConfuciusIn this episode of the Gnostic Warrior Radio Show and Podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing a true master researcher, and symbologist, Cort Lindahl. Cort is the author of 5 books and has spent that last 8 years of his life examining global cultural affectations which have been mostly neglected by modern archaeologists and anthropologists.Cort tells us people such as Harvey Spencer Lewis, the founder of the American Order of the Rosicrucians, Russian occultist, Helena Blavatsky, and Sir Francis Bacon were some of the many conspirators with international royal affiliations who had taken part in this once hidden plot to create the United States of America.His theories are backed by years of research, genealogy, history, monuments, symbols and hard facts that I honestly feel cannot be disputed by anyone. Cort explains how this all went down in a simple manner that almost anyone can understand.His Great Work aligns exactly with that of the Great Masonic Philosopher and 33 Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall‘s “Secret Destiny of America.” A secret that Hall says was for “setting up the machinery for a Universal Brotherhood of nations and races. The mechanism for the accomplishment of this ideal was set in motion in the ancient temples of Greece, Egypt, and India. So brilliant was the plan and so well was it administrated that it has survived to our time, and it will continue to function until the great work is accomplished.”Cort's specialty is using Geomantic Information Systems to examine the spatial relationships of ancient and modern monuments. Examining global cultural affectations has been neglected in archaeology and anthropology. Through his careful examination, it has become obvious that patterns of Axis and Ley Lines have been intentionally constructed on the surface of the earth.This phenomenon may be restricted to the elite and powerful classes of the world. The resources and wealth needed to execute such plans are astronomical. Cort feels that through his examination of geomancy and ley lines, he has discovered the largest engineered single project in the history of the world is being exposed.Visit Cort Lindahl's website @ survivalcell.blogspot.com

This is the unlocked pt.1 of a 2-part interview. In our Patreon subscribers-only pt.2, we discuss the 2021 Capitol Uprising and 2020 election as 'deep events', plus Peter Dale Scott's current thinking on the Kennedy Assassination and 9/11, and what he left out of his previous writings on them. Scott also speaks about his collaboration with the Polish poet Czesław Miłosz, and the long view of human history he takes as a poet and literary scholar. Unlocked pt.1: In a rare interview, Peter Dale Scott spoke to us about his half century-long project investigating the anti-democratic 'deep events' structuring the American Order: from the Kennedy Assassination to 9/11. We get his response to the right-wing appropriation of his work - from Alex Jones to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump - his candid appraisal of Noam Chomsky, and his intuitions about the direction the 'deep state' is taking today.

Acton Line brings you a conversation with Dylan Pahman and Alexander Salter. Pahman is a research fellow here at Acton Institute and serves as executive editor of our Journal of Markets and Morality. Salter is an associate professor of economics at Texas Tech University, and research fellow of the university's Free Market Institute. In this episode they discuss the relationship between money and liberty. In his article, The American Tradition of Ordered Liberty, Salter writes that “The United States is an experiment both in revolutionary freedom and communal virtue. In other words, our public institutions reflect an ongoing quest for ordered liberty. Without understanding the sources of ordered liberty, we cannot come to grips with our own institutions.”This “source of ordered liberty” is found in the four pillars that Russell Kirk writes of in his book, Roots of The American Order. The first pillar is Jerusalem where we derive our Judeo-Christian tradition. The second is Athens with our classical Greek intellectual tradition. Third, is Rome, giving us our Roman legal tradition, and the fourth is London — our English constitutional tradition. “Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London — these are the antecedents of ordered liberty in America. Each tradition left its mark on American social and political institutions, and continues to influence them today.”The American Tradition of Ordered Liberty – AIER Money and the Rule of Law - Salter’s bookFree Market Institute Reading Russell Kirk – Acton Institute PowerBlog Sirico on Russell Kirk and populism – Acton Institute PowerBlog Video: Samuel Gregg on Russell Kirk’s contributions to conservatism The History of Freedom in Antiquity - Lord ActonSubscribe to Acton Institute Events podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
2020 was a volatile year. And both the pandemic and the political fireworks around the election have an influence on the value of the US dollar. Does that mean the value of precious metals is on the rise? And can gold still protect your wealth? Byron King is a Harvard-trained biologist and former aide to the United States Chief of Naval Operations. He is also our resident gold and mining expert and Managing Editor of Whiskey & Gunpowder. On this pre-election episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Byron joins me to discuss the civil unrest surrounding the 2020 presidential election, explaining what we can learn from history about tearing down a country's institutions and how the political turmoil might impact precious metals. Byron shares the underreported story of how China's factory shutdowns are ‘breaking the supply chain of the world' and weighs in on why it's crucial for the US and Canada to build its own rare earth industry. Listen in for Byron's insight on what pumping money into the economy means for gold, where all that stimulus money is likely to go, and how long the dollar will remain the reserve currency of the world. Key Takeaways Byron's background as a geologist in the oil and gas industry, naval fighter pilot and writer How the current political environment parallels that of the 1930's and Byron's concerns about stacking Congress and the Supreme Court What we can learn from the French Revolution about the danger in tearing down institutions Why a country needs its strategic narrative How Byron thinks about pumping money into the economy—historically and during the pandemic Where the stimulus money is likely to go (e.g.: real estate, precious metals and paper assets) Why people moving out of the cities is a long-term trend The underreported story of how China's factory shutdowns are breaking the supply chain of the world Why it's crucial for the US and Canada to build its own rare earth industry and what makes battery metals the way of the future How our current circumstances (i.e.: civil unrest, low velocity of money) might impact the value of the dollar and what that means for gold What might happen to the stock market in the aftermath of the presidential election How long the dollar will remain the reserve currency of the world Connect with Byron King Whiskey & Gunpowder Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.
