In this episode, the Hosts plunge face-first into the steam-hissing, ghost-babbling chaos that was John Murray Spear, a 19th-century spiritualist who claimed to be in communication with an ascended club of spirits. Spear wasn't just talking to ghosts—he said he was communing with a celestial think tank of late geniuses called The Association of Electrizers, including Benjamin Franklin, among others. The goal of these souls? To build the God Machine—a mechanical messiah forged from gears, magnets, and pure, uncut lunacy. It's American exceptionalism by way of séance. A story of divine revelation, technological hubris, and a robot brought to life! Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The God Machine!Music and Editing by Gage Hurley Final Thoughts Check out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic++++Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=sharedTikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast #JohnMurraySpear #GodMachine #Spiritualism #19thCenturyWeird #OccultInventions #HauntedHistory #CreepStreetPodcast #DivineMechanics #ElectroMessiah #SpookyScience #AmericanSpiritualism #BizarreHistory #GildedAgeMadness #GhostsAndGears #CursedContraptions #SéanceCircuitry

English spelling is a hot mess, even for native speakers. But as a new book shows, would-be spelling reformers, including Benjamin Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt, eventually just gave up. Also, what do you call your fellow parent in front of the children? Do you use the same word when the kids aren't around?

Benjamin Franklin warned, “This can only end in despotism.” He knew that when the people themselves become corrupt, liberty doesn't stand a chance. He wasn't alone - founders and the great thinkers they learned from saw it over and over again: no matter the system, no matter the laws, once the people decay, tyranny follows. Guaranteed. And today, we're on that same path - not because we're being forced, but because we've chosen it. This episode is about the one corruption no constitution can fix: the corruption of the people themselves. The post No Constitution Can Ever Fix This first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: 4/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist by  Richard Munson  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Ingenious-Biography-Benjamin-Franklin-Scientist/dp/0393882233 Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story―from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder―and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments. 1867 IN PARIS

While you may know the Brooklyn Museum for its wildly popular cutting-edge exhibitions, the borough's premier art institution can actually trace its origins back to a more rustic era -- and to the birth of the city of Brooklyn itself.On July 4, 1825, the growing village laid a cornerstone for its new Brooklyn Apprentices Library, an educational institution to support its young "clerks, journeymen and apprentices." This was a momentous occasion in the history of Brooklyn, a ceremony overseen by the Marquis de Lafayette and observed by a young boy named Walt Whitman.The library was part of a movement -- started a century before by Benjamin Franklin-- to make knowledge readily available within the young country.The Brooklyn Museum's celebratory new exhibition Breaking the Mold: Brooklyn Museum at 200 looks back at its storied origins and eventual growth, encompassing most of the young city's cultural institutions and soon expanding into a monumental new home next to the new Prospect Park, designed by McKim, Mead and White.Abigail Dansiger, the Director of Libraries and Archives, and Meghan Bill, the Coordinator of Provenance, join Greg on this week's show to explain the unusual origins of the Brooklyn Museum and the unique philosophies which inform its exhibitions.PLUS: A couple genuine mysteries lurk within the new exhibition, including a bottle-shaped niche within the cornerstone and an Egyptologist's unencrypted notebook.This episode was edited by Kieran Gannon

Most conservatives like to point out that the United States is a republic, not a democracy, but they rarely ask what the difference truly is. Benjamin Franklin stated that the U.S. would remain a republic only if we fought to keep it that way, meaning the system could change over time if the population was not vigilant. We will be exploring the classical definition of a republic, determining whether the U.S. currently fits the description, and talking about how we can return to republican government if we have indeed lost it.

It might surprise you, but in the 18th century, people across the globe were reckoning with colder-than-usual weather brought on by the Little Ice Age—a centuries-long chill that made heating homes more urgent than ever. At the same time, early Americans were cutting down trees at an unsustainable pace to stay warm. Enter Benjamin Franklin. In this episode, Harvard historian Joyce Chaplin joins us to explore how Franklin tackled this problem by designing five different stove models, and what these innovations reveal about early American science, sustainability, and life with fire.

Rick Atkinson has just published the second volume of his American Revolution trilogy. The book is called "The Fate of the Day" and covers years 1777 to 1780. His initial 800-page volume, titled "The British Are Coming," was published in 2019 and focused on years 1775 to 1777.

HOUSE-CALLING ON DR. WIN THE WAR: 3/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by  Robert Schmuhl  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1943 QUEBEC

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Exploring humility's vital role in American classrooms, this piece examines the humble leadership of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin alongside research on intellectual humility. Students embracing humility develop resilient mindsets, welcome challenges, and uphold ethical integrity under pressure, while those lacking it risk giving up or resorting to dishonest shortcuts.

Episode: 1377 Benjamin Franklin writes about music and electricity.  Today, Ben Franklin talks about music.

The Founding Fathers would have been very pleased with some of the politics of modern America, but on the other hand, very displeased with others. Benjamin Franklin, in particular, would not favor the growth of government — but at the same time, he would appreciate some of the globalism that has advanced the economies of the world. Mark Skousen is an eighth-generation descendant of Franklin and has penned the book, "The Greatest American," aimed at showing why this founder-slash-inventor-slash-diplomat was truly so genius.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”. But sometimes, no matter how much planning is involved, a task can still veer comically far off its intended outcome. From hilarious failed attempts at deception to jaw-dropping scuba-dive surprises, let's check out some plans that definitely didn't go as expected.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
