This Day in Legal History: Maryland Toleration Act PassedOn April 21, 1649, the Maryland Assembly passed the Maryland Toleration Act, a landmark piece of colonial legislation that granted freedom of worship to all Christians in the colony. Also known as the Act Concerning Religion, it was one of the first legal efforts in the American colonies to protect religious liberty through statutory law. The act was enacted under the leadership of Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, who sought to maintain peace in Maryland's religiously diverse population, which included both Catholics and Protestants.The law's preamble acknowledged the dangers of religious coercion, stating that "the inforceing of the conscience in matters of Religion hath frequently fallen out to be of dangerous Consequence." To preserve harmony, it declared that no Christian should be "troubled, Molested or discountenanced" for practicing their faith, provided they did not threaten the colony's civil government or the authority of the Lord Proprietor.While progressive for its time, the Act's protections were limited to those who professed belief in Jesus Christ, excluding Jews, atheists, and other non-Christians. Violators of the law's religious tolerance provisions faced harsh penalties, including fines, public whipping, or even death for blasphemy.The Act was repealed just five years later during a period of Protestant ascendancy, reflecting the fragile nature of religious tolerance in colonial America. Nonetheless, it remains significant as an early attempt to codify the principle that faith should not be a basis for persecution.A federal judge has ruled that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) can no longer direct the termination of probationary federal workers based on performance-related justifications that were, according to the court, misleading. U.S. District Judge William Alsup called OPM's use of standardized termination letters citing performance as the reason for firing thousands of employees a “total sham.” He emphasized that falsely attributing the dismissals to performance could harm the affected workers' reputations and career prospects for years to come.The ruling affects employees at six federal agencies and prohibits further terminations under these pretenses. Judge Alsup's decision underscores that these workers were dismissed under false narratives while still in their probationary period—either newly hired or recently promoted—and should not have been labeled as underperformers without proper evaluation or process.Though Alsup's ruling offers protection against future actions, he declined to issue a preliminary injunction requested by the state of Washington, stating the state lacked standing because it could not show concrete harm from the federal firings, such as a clear loss of federal services.This legal challenge comes amid a broader judicial tug-of-war. In March, Alsup had initially ordered the reinstatement of 16,000 workers pending resolution of a lawsuit. However, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked that injunction on April 8, suggesting that nonprofit organizations representing federal workers may lack the legal standing to sue on their behalf. Following that, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals also halted a separate injunction from a Maryland judge that would have reinstated probationary employees in 19 states and Washington, D.C.Despite the limits imposed by the higher courts, Alsup's decision focuses on the reputational harm caused by labeling the dismissals as performance-based, rather than procedural or administrative. He signaled that the government must correct the record for those terminated workers.Performance-Based Federal Worker Layoffs a ‘Sham' Judge RulesThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a major challenge to a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, that mandates insurers cover certain preventive medical services—like cancer screenings and diabetes testing—without cost-sharing by patients. The case centers on the constitutional validity of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a panel of medical experts that identifies which services should be covered. The panel's 16 members are appointed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) but are not confirmed by the Senate.A group of Texas-based Christian individuals and businesses filed the lawsuit in 2020, arguing that the USPSTF wields too much authority and must therefore comply with the U.S. Constitution's Appointments Clause. This clause requires that significant federal officers—known as "principal officers"—be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The plaintiffs claim the task force has evolved from a purely advisory body to one that effectively imposes binding legal obligations on insurers, all without proper accountability.In 2024, the conservative-leaning 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the plaintiffs, ruling the task force's structure unconstitutional. The federal government appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court. The Biden administration originally filed the appeal, and it was later continued by the Trump administration. Government lawyers argue that the task force should be classified as comprising "inferior officers," since their recommendations are only made binding when approved by the HHS Secretary, who can remove task force members at will.The plaintiffs, however, maintain that the Secretary lacks actual power to stop recommendations from taking effect, making the task force's authority effectively unchecked. They also argue that this lack of oversight elevates the members to principal officer status, necessitating Senate confirmation.Before narrowing the lawsuit to the appointments issue, the plaintiffs also challenged the ACA's requirement to cover HIV prevention medication on religious grounds, asserting it promoted behaviors they opposed. The appeals court declined to sever portions of the law that might otherwise save the provision, another aspect now before the Supreme Court.If the Supreme Court upholds the lower court's decision, key preventive healthcare services could become subject to out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and co-pays, potentially deterring millions from accessing early detection and prevention tools. The Court's decision, expected by the end of June, could reshape how health policy is implemented under the ACA and may further weaken one of its core patient protections.US Supreme Court to hear clash over Obamacare preventive care | ReutersIn a rapidly unfolding legal confrontation, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency order halting the deportation of a group of Venezuelan migrants from Texas, sparking a strong dissent from Justice Samuel Alito. The court intervened early Saturday morning, acting on urgent filings by detainees' lawyers who said the migrants were already being loaded onto buses for imminent deportation to El Salvador. The migrants were accused of gang affiliation, but their legal team argued they hadn't been given fair notice or time to challenge their removal. The administration attempted to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime law, to justify these expulsions.Justice Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, sharply criticized the majority's decision, calling it "unprecedented and legally questionable." He argued that the Court acted without giving lower courts adequate time to review the claims and issued its order with limited evidence and no explanation. The justices' ruling paused deportations “until further order of this Court,” leaving room for future legal developments.The Trump administration quickly responded, filing a motion urging the Court to reverse its stay. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued the detainees' lawyers bypassed proper procedure by going directly to the Supreme Court and that lower courts had not yet had a chance to establish key facts. He maintained that the migrants received legally sufficient notice, though reports suggested the notices were in English only and lacked clear instructions.The administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members is highly controversial. Originally passed in 1798 during hostilities with France, the law has been used sparingly and almost exclusively during wartime. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether its application in this immigration context is constitutional. Migrants' advocates, including the ACLU, maintain that many of the men deported or at risk of deportation are not gang members and were denied due process.The legal conflict reflects a broader tension between Trump's immigration enforcement efforts and judicial oversight. Last month, Trump ordered the deportation of more than 200 men to a Salvadoran maximum-security prison, reportedly ignoring a judge's oral order to halt at least two flights. The White House has not signaled any intent to defy the current Supreme Court stay but remains committed to its immigration crackdown.The case, A.A.R.P. v. Trump, now becomes a focal point in ongoing disputes about executive authority, due process rights for detainees, and the scope of immigration enforcement under rarely invoked legal provisions. As the Court weighs further action, the lives of dozens of migrants hang in the balance, caught between legal technicalities and broader political pressures.Supreme Court's Alito Calls Block of Deportations ‘Questionable' - BloombergAlito criticizes US Supreme Court's decision to 'hastily' block deportations | ReutersTrump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Lift Deportation Halt - BloombergA federal judge in Boston ruled that the Trump administration's passport policy targeting transgender and nonbinary individuals is likely unconstitutional. The policy, which followed an executive order signed by President Trump immediately after returning to office, required passport applicants to list their biological sex at birth and allowed only "male" or "female" markers. This reversed prior policies that permitted self-identification and, under the Biden administration, had allowed the use of a gender-neutral "X" option.U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick issued a preliminary injunction that bars enforcement of the policy against six of the seven plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit. She held that the policy discriminates based on sex and reflects a bias against transgender individuals, violating the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. Kobick described the administration's approach as rooted in "irrational prejudice" and said it runs counter to the Constitution's promise of equality.Despite finding the policy likely unconstitutional, Kobick declined to issue a nationwide injunction, stating that the plaintiffs did not justify the need for broad relief. Still, the ruling marks a significant legal setback for the administration's broader effort to redefine federal gender recognition policies.The executive order at the center of the case mandated all federal agencies, including the State Department, to recognize only two sexes—male and female—based on biology at birth. The State Department then revised its passport application process to align with this directive.The case is part of a wave of legal challenges to Trump's rollback of gender recognition policies. Lawyers for the plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU, vowed to continue fighting to expand the ruling's protections to all affected individuals.Trump passport policy targeting transgender people likely unconstitutional, judge rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

[There will be a meet-up of Houston-area fans next Friday, May 17, 2024, from 4-7 (or maybe later) at the Saint Arnold Brewing Company Beer Garden, 2000 Lyons Ave, Houston, TX 77020.  They don't make reservations, but it is a big place with lots of tables. I'll try to get there a bit early and grab a table, at which point I will post a selfie confirming my presence on X and Facebook and such.  Let me know if you think you can make it by email, the contact page on the website, or DM on X or Facebook!] This episode is about a radically democratic political movement in Maryland in the 1650s. Veterans of the New Model Army, many of whom had been swimming in political movements like the Levellers, came to Maryland and joined with other Protestants chafing under Catholic and aristocratic rule. Blood would be shed at the Battle of the Severn, and in the aftermath Lord Baltimore would install a man named Josias Fendall as the fourth governor of his proprietary colony. Fendall, it would turn out, decided he agreed with the populists, and led a legislative revolution that, for a time, would make Maryland the most politically radical government, other than in Rhode Island, anywhere in the English world.

He's known in the SCA as Aeron Harper, where he is a Master of Defense and a Laurel. He's also the organizer, with two previous guests on the show, Lisa Losito and Monica Gaudio, of Lord Baltimore's Challenge, which is one of my favourite historical martial arts events. In our conversation we talk about the distinction, if there is one, between western martial arts (WMA) and historical European martial arts (HEMA), and what prompted him to want to start Lord Baltimore's Challenge. We also talk about what's happening in the SCA at the moment, with a scandal around rule-breaking, “half of one percent”, and a petition for change at the very top.

Lisa Losito is a sword mom, historical fencer and an organising brain behind Lord Baltimore's Challenge. Lisa suffers from a chronic illness which affects her training, but she is absolutely passionate about helping others achieve their vision for events within the historical martial arts world. Whether that's a big event like Lord Baltimore's Challenge, or small grassroots events with local clubs, Lisa will make sure everyone has what they need, and make sure that everyone is safe. Safety is something we discuss in this episode, both in terms of gear (particularly head protection) and physical and emotional safety within the environment. We talk about the culture change that is needed to prevent injuries like concussion and to keep bad actors out of historical martial arts. Plus, we also find out that Lisa wants to open a salle with a brothel attached.

This Week's Non-Sponsor Most podcasts have sponsors who offer discounts to the listeners and money to the host. In the sword world most of the companies and organisations offering products or services to sword people have tiny profit margins and very little cash. So I thought I'd introduce a non-sponsor segment to the show, where I call out producers of good sword stuff and recommend it to our listeners without getting paid for it. The first non-sponsor to the show is the mighty wiktenauer.com which is a gigantic reference source for everything historical martial arts. It's run by Michael Chidester, who I interviewed in episode 21, and it includes scans, transcriptions, translations and articles and just keeps getting better every day.

‘Tis the Season of Spookiness and we kick off the month with a visit to the gravesite of one of the true “Masters of the Macabre”, Edgar Allan Poe. While in Baltimore, Maryland, we stayed at the Lord Baltimore Hotel where Vince Wilson gave us a tour of the old (and purportedly haunted) hotel, after which we walked outside and down the street for a couple blocks to an old cemetery and underground catacombs. Along the way and while at the cemetery, Vince gave us some background about some of the “residents” of the graveyard.Next we make a call to Paul Prater in Little Rock, Arkansas, who gives us some tips, suggestions and advice on how we can create a “Ghost Walk” in our own backyard.

The story begins with an excerpt from a letter written in March of 1718 by William Calvert to his fiancée. Calvert has been dispatched by his younger cousin Charles, now the fifth Lord Baltimore, to the colony of Maryland. In chapter 1, we switch to the present and meet Arley Fitchett, an amiable treasure hunter on Maryland's eastern Shore. Fitchett believes his lead on a fabled 18th century treasure puts him a position to bargain. In the following chapter, a young deputy with the Talbot County Maryland Sheriff's Office is called to the scene of a grisly discovery, a garroted body washed on shore. HE asks dispatch to contact the department's new Criminal Commander, Lieutenant Sam Tate. Sam is just months on the job and still adjusting to the move from Tennessee. But as she knows, murder doesn't care.On Wednesday we start "Sunray Alice" by Jeremy Hepler. Don't miss it!To check out more of my work, go to my website at cathicolas.com, or find me on Audible.

"Mathias de Sousa foi o primeiro Marylander negro. De ascendência africana e portuguesa, foi um dos nove servos contratados e trazidos para Maryland pelos jesuítas missionários e estava na ARK quando a expedição de Lord Baltimore chegou ao rio St. Mary em 1634. O seu contrato foi concluído em 1638 e ele se tornou um marinheiro e comerciante de peles. Em 1641 ele comandou uma rota comercial a norte para os índios Susquehannock e, em 1642, navegou como mestre de um ketch pertencente ao Provincial Secretário John Lewger. De Sousa partiu e voltou a este rio muitas vezes. Ele ancorou aqui perto e caminhou até o Lewger's Manor House em St. John's. Enquanto morando lá, ele serviu na assembléia legislativa de 1642 de homens livres. Não resta registro das atividades de de Sousa depois de 1642, mas seu legado de coragem e sucesso é considerado com muito orgulho por todos os cidadãos de S. Condado e Cidade de Mary.

I thank you for joining me again, Beyond the big Screen.[00:00:00] Today, we're joined by a very special guest and beyond the big screen alumni, Sarah tank, Savala of the rejects and revolutionary American history podcasts Sara's podcast tells the story of American history from its very beginnings. These are all stories and events that are now widely known and are all, many of them are definitely stranger than fiction.So you hear people talk about early American history and their. You know, talking about the revolutionary war era and it's just like, no, no, it started so much before that and all that, this was going on, like all these debates and all of this, all these struggles were going on at the same time. And it was just like, or in that earlier time than it was just amazing.We're going to do this as sort of a top 10 list, the top 10 surprising facts about the 17th [00:01:00] century American history and moments that would definitely be stranger than fiction and deserve their own movie treatments. So who, what is your top? Your number 10. So we're going from 10 to one. What's your number 10 surprising fact about American history early colonial American history.So, um, my 10th one is just the life of Pocahontas, his son, Thomas Rolfe. Um, we always think about, um, the story of Pocahontas in John, Ralph and John Smith and all of that that went on, but he actually lived this really interesting. Um, himself, and we don't know that much about him, but it's like through him that some 10,000 estimated people are descended from Pocahontas today.And, um, what we do know about him, it's really interesting though. Cause he was, um, so he was born, well, he was born in Virginia, but he grew up in [00:02:00] England. Um, Like John, Ralph and Pocahontas sit gone back to England and she had died there in 16, 17, and he had gone back to Virginia and he died five years later.Um, and so he ended up being raised in England by an uncle of his. And then he ended up and then when he was 20, he moved back to America. And so he was sort of this half Palatan Indian who was raised in England and ended up going back to Virginia. And, um, I find that to be just fascinating to start with.And then he ended up, um, he ended up meeting his uncle. He requested permission to meet with his power Putin uncle OB chonga knew who was the orchestrator of the 1622 massacre and of another massacre in 1643 or 44. When that second massacre happened in 1644. W [00:03:00] Thomas Ralf ended up actually leading troops against the power button for the English.And so he ended up being this really sort of a fluent leading. Member of Virginia society, but he still clearly had enough, um, connection to his pallet and ancestry that he developed those relationships. But when the two sides went to war, he had some decisions to make. And I would've loved to know like what, you know, what went into those decisions, but we don't know that about him, but I think he'd be a fascinating person.To know more about, or to even imagine more about in some sort of a biography or biopic. So that's our, that's your number 10 now, number nine, you have a next one. The battle of the Severn. Yes. So that was really interesting because that, I mean, you could make an argument, maybe not the strongest argument, but you can make an argument that it was the last battle of the English [00:04:00] civil war, because, you know, Over the course of the English civil war, the English government has been, um, completely overturned.The King's been beheaded and then. The question comes, like what happens to each of these colonies and Maryland in particular was an extremely controversial colony because it had, um, well, it had a very strong Catholic foundation, which was really, really not liked in England at the time, especially by the Puritans who had gotten control in the English, civil war and Maryland always sort of, they always had to tread this.Middle ground of like, not being Catholic, but being tolerant towards Catholics and. The question was, would this be enough by the time that the English civil war had ended? And there was a clear political divide in addition to the religious divide within Maryland, there've been increasing numbers of [00:05:00] Puritans in Maryland, especially after they got sort of kicked out of Virginia, Maryland gave them a place to stay, um, in the name of religious toleration, which became the sort of thing that.That Maryland champion, the idea that Maryland championed in these early years. And so by the time that all of this has happened, the question became like would the new government of England, um, recognize the old government of Maryland, which was under this Catholic guy, uh, Lord Baltimore. And. In the time when that question was being asked, there were two groups of people who there were all these things happening.There were two groups of people who ended up going. To, um, essentially to war with each other. They had one big battle in 1655 where like, um, 400 people showed up and that's in a [00:06:00] colony, which at this point in time was, we don't know exactly what the population was, but it would be between sort of a quarter and a fifth of the male population turning out to fight in this battle.And ultimately, uh, ultimately the Puritans had a lot more military experience and they have a lot more organization and they had a lot more resources and they ended up just completely destroying the sort of Anglican Catholic Presbyterian, um, group. And, um, and then the question, the question still wasn't answered.And then the Pearson's ended up just really, um, they ended up behaving sort of non admirably at the end of this battle. They ended up, uh, illegally executing for prisoners and they had sentenced 10 more to be illegally executed, but [00:07:00] then they, um, they, some people, some of the soldiers who had just come over from England and didn't have as much of a personal investment in the fight and some of the women of the colonies.Ask them to back down because a lot of this, the thing is a lot of this was really personal for people. Like they had known each other and they had had these animosities building up for 20 years at these, at this point. And, and so you can, it just, it went really downhill, but I think. How much the English civil war affected America is, is always something that I never really understood very well.And listening to your podcast, it really, there was such a connection between the two, but then there's also like you were saying that, that on the ground too, that these people hated each other personally, but then they have all these gripes too, that are the bigger picture gripes. So it's really, it's a really fascinating [00:08:00] interplay.Oh, it is it's, it's amazing how much it it's amazing. So much of what happened in America. So much of what we think about as being American would never have, um, would never have happened at all. If it weren't for the English civil war, like the Puritans wouldn't have, um, set up in new England as strongly as they did.

understand I hope you enjoy this episode so without further ado episode number 15 rental revolution let's get into it so first thing to talk about today is medicine cost or medicine Copthorne is a congressman he's a very quite young Congressman one of the honest ones I've ever seen that believe is 2627 years old maybe even younger 25 and are very well spoken you may have seen some of his very passionate speeches, and rants to our president and to Congress surrounding some very touchy subjects but he has found the crosshairs of the cancel culture this last week or so as a result of some conversations that he had surrounding January 6 so here's a speech watch this real quick just in the giving idea of who he is if you don't know already this is a very recent speech that he gave there were some funny spots in here talking about basically you know are 70 flipping off Joe Biden's mother thinks let's go out and watch this and see what you think in them will kinda talk through why he is being put in the crosshairs of cancel culture the sons and daughters of America are not foot soldiers for your parties and that geriatric despot they are not expendable pawns we dispatch to the whims of an idiot tossed carelessly around the world to godforsaken Kay's employee sandboxes they are Americans or the worthy of honor and dignity the only salute from them Joe Biden deserves involves one finger American blood is not the currency of the world it cannot be borrowed exchanged our link to any man or any nation it's worth is immeasurable American patriots in uniform all signed a blank check to their nation and already under this administration Afghanistan Joe Biden Castro for 13 patriots through his reckless incompetence the path to American national security does not line American international interventionism it lies in securing our southern border not the Russia Ukraine border our greatness is forging a resistance to interference the war lobby has no ally in the America first Republicans we will preserve our strength or nationalism will champion America first today in America first forever we earned our greatness what others are in theirs and of Joe Biden as a prostitute or our preeminence to the military-industrial complex by the time Donald Trump returns will preserve this great city on a hill for the descendents of our grandchildren so I can get down with any congressman who uses the word medical or am sorry military-industrial complex have been talking a lot about the medical industrial complex but I can get down with any congressman any politician who wants to talk about wars has the balls to talk about the military-industrial complex so I'm kudos to you Madison Hawthorne so medicine Cothran has recently been there in the crosshairs of the cancel culture and they're coming after them basically try to make sure that he can't even run again and when he's what 2625 cannot run for Congress again or hold a spot in office as a result of taking part in an insurrection so there's a long article here I read it the first time on the spare you up at this time because I think that you know it come just perpetuates this idea you know if stupidity surrounding you know give tries to give legitimacy to their being baseless claims of election fraud and you know the January 6 insurrection is him so on the spare you but basically the idea is that somebody's filing a frivolous lawsuit or some type of frivolous you know motion to make sure that he can't run again based on the fact that he partook in a speech leading up to January 6 and had some type of conversation back and forth with the people who help to organize the event that led to the speech that he gave outside in January 6 so nothing on him and he literally is in a wheelchair is not like he was in of lead in the way in the up the stairs to the through the halls and on January 6 you know it and so is that the fact that they're trying to go after him based off of a congressman speaking at a very heightened state political rally and you're trying to make sure that he you know I'm pretty sure we want our politicians actually being a part of the boots on the ground movements that are happening within society we shouldn't be punishing people for partaking within the very thing that politicians are designed to have conversation surrounding and you want to strip him have his ability moving forward to it to maintain office seems crazy to me especially when you understand that Nancy Pelosi was wearing African you know like what was it like a garb or something around her head on the floor of the put the capital building you know saluting the black lives matter movement while they were rioting in the streets literally violently and you know saying that you know this is okay basically and so for them to be going after him you know it is is unbelievable to me over something as it is simple as speaking outside of a rally so that was the first thing now the biggest probably the biggest in this miserable transition probably the biggest person that got there at the crosshairs of cancel culture this week was Joe Rogan Joe Rogan had a few different apology videos that came out this week one was for him having guests on the show industry experts on his show he was basically apologizing for because some you know with Neil Young pulled his music from Spot if I and Neil Young is some artist from the 1970s simply relevant today and doesn't even own half his book of business you know when it comes to his royalties that he makes pulled his music office modified because he disagrees with the misinformation being pushed by Joe Rogan so Joe Rogan responded to that and basically gave a very generic type of apology video stating that you know I Inc. I can do better at having opposing viewpoints in but you know so let's let's go ahead and watch a little bit of that apology video here from Joe Rogan to make a video to address some of the controversy that's been going on over the past few days and first of all to say thank you to everyone that sent love and support I truly truly appreciate it and it's been very nice to hear from you I want to make this video first will because I think there's a lot of people that have a distorted perception of what I do may be based on sound bites or based on headlines of articles that are disparaging the podcast is been accused of spreading dangerous misinformation specifically about two episodes a little bit about some other ones but specifically about 21 with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist and he is the most published physician in his field in history Dr. Robert Malone owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vx technology and is at least partially responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vxs both these people are very highly credentialed very intelligent very accomplished people and they have an opinion that's different from the mainstream narrative I wanted to hear what their opinion is I had them on and because of that those episodes in particular that those episodes were labeled as being dangerous they had dangerous misinformation in them the problem I have with the term misinformation especially today is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact like for instance eight months ago if you said if you get vaccinated you can still catch coded and you can still spread covert you be removed from social media they would they would ban you from certain platforms now that's accepted as fact if you said I don't think cloth masks work you would be banned from social media now that's openly repeatedly stated on CNN if you said I think it's possible that Kovic 19 came from a lab you'd be banned from many social media platforms now that's on the cover of Newsweek all of those theories that a one point time were banned were openly discussed by those two men that have my podcasts that have been accused of dangerous misinformation I do not know if the right I don't know because I'm no doctor I'm not a scientist I'm just a person sits down talks to people in his conversations with them do I get things wrong absolutely I get things wrong but I try to correct them when ever I get something wrong to try to correct it because I'm interested in telling the truth I'm interested in finding out what the truth is I'm interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions I'm not interested in only talking to people that you have one perspective that's one of the reasons why had Sanjay goofed on Dr. Sanjay Gupta who ours respect very much and I really enjoyed our conversation together he has a different opinion than those men do I had Dr. Dr. Michael Auster home on at the very beginning of the pandemic he is on Pres. Biden's Kovic 19 advisory board I had Dr. Peter hotel is on who is vx expert I'm interested in finding out what is correct and fight I'm also finding out how people come to these conclusions and what the facts are now because of this controversy in there I'm sure there's a lot of other things going on behind the scenes of these controversies but Neil Young has removed his music from the the platform must modify and Joni Mitchell and apparently some other people want to as well I'm very sorry that they feel that way I most certainly don't want that you Neil Young fan of always been a Neil Young fan I'll tell you story the end of this about that one of things that spot if I want to do that I agree with is at the beginning of these controversial podcasts like specifically wants about Cove it is to put a disclaimer and say that you should speak with your physician and that these people and the opinions they express are contrary to the opinions of the consensus of experts which I think is very important sure have been on there I'm very happy with that also I think if there's anything that I've done that I could do better is have more experts with differing opinions right after I have the controversial ones I would most certainly be open to doing that and I would like to talk to some people that have the differing opinions on those podcasts in the future we'll see yield I do all the scheduling myself and that I don't always get it right this these podcasts are very strange because they're just conversations and oftentimes have no idea what to talk about until I sit down to talk to people and that's why some of my ideas are not that prepared or flushed out because I'm literally having them in real time but I do my best and they're just conversations and I think that's also the appeal of the show it's one of things that makes it interesting so I want to thanks bonfire for being so supportive during this time and I'm very sorry that this is happening to them and that there taken so much heat from it and so now the the Neil Young story so if you haven't watched the whole video you can go watch the new youngster it's kinda cool to hear a story about him being a security guard back in the day and Neil Young be in there in the response brawls breaking out and he brought up you don't go listen to the stories on his Instagram and yeah sure he can find his government so so that was the first one the first one he's just talking about basically these couple guys basely pulled her music nobody cares about and they pulled her music and so spot if I was getting some you know they made some uprising about it probably on Twitter or something and so Joe Rogan apologizes for that and that's not really know that wasn't the one this week that that was difficult for him to navigate that was fairly easy know you can just brush it off like a there's a reason I have these people on an in in into that point you know the people he was having a number industry experts is not like he was having on some homeless man off the street to talk about covert the 16 million people and even if he was yet to take that into consideration for every individual person who listens to a podcast gets to take that podcast like some of this things laminate Outlook I'm not an expert on most of the things that were talking about here right and you know that you should understand that what I'm talking about these things right on more of like you know that if I'm comity on I'm a color commentator here compact that I'm not the technical analyst so I'm you know just like him I'm going off the cuff the right things are to be said that are probably not very extremely well thought out every single time so you should give some grace on that but the people that he had on were industry experts these people were literally created the mRNA vx and so to to be if Neil Young thinks that he knows better than Dr. Malone: he's probably sadly mistaken right for for him that the try to hold that authority and so it was interesting to see him navigate this one and that was the first controversy and then came the second one and the second was a little bit more difficult for him to navigate because the second one has to do with surrounding race and and specifically surrounding kind of the N-word and a specific story that he got into and so you'll see that there is a compilation basically of him using the N word and in the ways that he was using it within these conversations was generally either speaking about it linguistically and kind of talking about how the word itself in the power fullness and the usefulness of that term within these cultures it is used in so many different ways right he says it within his apology video like it can be a punchline that can be as you know a term of endearment it can be you know an affirmation that can be you know some he's in all of these videos at least from the ones I understand I've seen the clips of he's either referencing somebody else saying the word he's either explaining how weird linguistically the word's usefulness is comparative to other words or I think that's it right so he's either talking about the word specifically in a technically linguistic way or he's referring to somebody else who use the word specifically in Joe Rogan you know in this video is gay like it's kind of like that that the N-word is like that you know Lord folder more in Harry Potter using the word folder Mart and Harry Potter is like using that the N-word hidden in English language you know and Joe Rogan is the the Harry Potter of the N-word you know trying that you know Harry would go on and say Lord Baltimore to everybody that he met and they'll be like super surprised and Joe Rogan's basically you know trying to devalue the word I guess not that you know never a single time in any of these clips can you ever find a single reference of him being specifically racist or using it to the manner that would be perceived as racist individually or sociologically speaking about a group so any of these situations that he's using this word was not specifically under the context of him being a racist he was speaking about the word itself are talking about somebody who use the word so let's go ahead and watch this video where he apologizes after discussing his use of this term but first let's go ahead and see if we can actually find the video where this woman uses it rational at him to spare you that I did that on the first round of this one where it didn't work correctly so let's miscarry that actually because you know it's just if D says them were 22 times in a row there's really not he gives no context rounded and I don't see a point of putting that on here but what I will show you is his response which is I think that's going to know that the woman who posted that was India Re: and she's at in the RE on Instagram IN DIA a RIE and within her videos she's talking about Joe Rogan and basically saying that while I decided to pull my and my music from Joe Rogan is well on the backs of all this controversy not because I don't like his covert misinformation but because he use these words or you knows gave the story that he talked about surrounding Joe Rogan so let me see if this is the video and if it is will go ahead and watch it for a second so here it is when I asked my people to modify the you know the negative thing you saying the word are you ready said that he is just like mega cooling these call you an interest like this boy that henag start call them their breadmaker that's on I thank the people who are leaving for the covert disinformation reasons and I think that they should I think that Joe Rogan has the right to say what he wants to say I think I have the right thing when I want to say so as an artist fields finalize built on the back of the music streaming so they take this money to build streaming in a pages and I hundred million dollars but they pay us .003% of the pain just take me off I don't want to generate money that is just take me off that's where on that and I know that I'm actually to be honest with you surprised that my statements were picked up because I thought people really not a listening example I'm the kind of thing whose two from the industry I am being heard and for that reason I want to clarify my statement again this is why what's this no white people we walked into Africa. When we walked in the door and there was no white people is okay take filling the hospital many things can be Dr. people are taken out of context is happened to me many times however only clear in no uncertain terms where I stand on this is that he shouldn't even be uttering the word don't even say under it is that Re: so there was her take specifically now what she says and there you know nobody really ever cares what I say I've never heard of this woman before India Re: but I do like the she says you know I didn't I get he gets to say whatever he wants I also get to pull my music because I don't want my music on that platform if there and allow him to be on the platform so I like that she said that at least you know II think that taking that word out of context and blowing it up specifically in using that you know as we've seen it's not Drake pulling his music off of specify it's usually these people who are making that .003% of a penny on every download and they get you know 30 of them a month with the probably not sacrificing very much for this you know stand on this hill so it is there merited to the things that she showed there and in should he be apologizing for you you probably don't want to say that in today's world you know I think if you understand the context of a podcast you know even this podcast like I just said what we just talked about is complete the off-the-cuff right now imagine the hits like imagine imagine your uncle having a podcast and he gets to talk to 16 million people a week for three hours for three episodes a week 1800 episodes into it do you think there is some share your uncle would say that would probably get him canceled laughing is probably something every single person would say in this situation that would get them canceled now that's not a justification for Joe Rogan saying the word of the story that ends up coming up here that he talks about but II think it is important to note that people say stupid things you know especially under the care of the context we not reading up at the Teleprompter everything that comes out of our mouth is just me talking to you is if her friends basically you know it is I'm just having a conversation and and I was a situations here and in and I think what he was try to do like I said being the Harry Potter book of the N-word is easy was trying to like strip power away from that word by saying it and saying how weird is this for Mike stepping aside from the way that our society looks at this sound that we make with our mouths or are allowed to make with her mouth unless you're a part of this specific certain section of society which is such a like a man-made cultivated even like thought process to be able to have that we first of all have a word that we give so many meetings to and then specifically the only one culture can use that word and every other culture can use up and especially if this you culture is that it's really bad like it is is a very interesting linguistic situation that that really is is not founded and on the other part of our language so you looking at it from that perspective you can get why you know he would try to maybe try and pull some take away some of the venom of that word I guess I don't know so let's let's go ahead and watch his response to him using that in that video that I did kinda skip through a couple of parts regardless like I said it was literally just over and over again that words and I just don't see it the reason for that on this show but let's go had a much his response to the office hello friends I'm making this video talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had a talk about publicly there's a video that's out it's a compilation of me saying the and word it's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast and Saul swooshed together and it looks like an horrible even to me now I know that to most people there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word nevermind publicly on a podcast and I agree with that now I haven't setting years but for a long time when I would bring that word up like even come up in conversation and stain is that of saying the N-word I would just say the word I thought as long as it was in context people would understand what I was doing like that context was pour the clipper talk about red fox how red Fox said that word on television in the 1970s and how times have changed so much since then or about how Richard Pryor use it as one of the titles of one of his albums or I was quoting a Lenny Bruce bid Oro's cloak quoting Paul Mooney bad aura I was talking to Quentin Tarantino using repeatedly in Pulp Fiction Orosz talking about how an Netflix executive ironically used it because he was trying to compare it to another offensive word he said out loud and they fired him not calling anybody were just saying the word out loud I was also talking about how there's not another word like it in the entire English language because it's a world where only one group of people is allowed to use and they can use in so many different ways like of a white person says that word it's racist and toxic but a black person can use it and it could be a punchline it could be a term of endearment it could be lyrics to a rap song can be a positive affirmation the very unusual word but it's not my word to use am well aware that now but for years I used it in that manner I never use it to be racist because I'm not racist but whenever you're in a situation where you have to say I'm not racist you flocked up and I clearly have flocked up and that's my intention to express myself in this video to say there's nothing I can do to take that back the I wish I could obviously that's not possible I do hope that if anything that this can be a teachable moment so in the first half that we just saw there was basically him saying yeah that was probably not the right move in in any kind of reiterated what I just talked about there was what she was like trying to take away some power from that word right by by instead of cowering away from the sound with your mouth because of the you know societal meanings behind it to try and identify kind of the weirdness of that situation so have a little bit of an issue with the second half loading here so let's see if we can get that to come up but I did find it interesting there you know what you'll see towards the end of this video if it comes up for us is that he does apologize right knee comes on says I messed up anytime you're in a situation with you trying to say I'm not racist you probably messed up right especially on this platform so you know in this particular situation and I think what he goes on to explain is a story that he talks about he says something about the planet of the apes and going to see a movie and he was dropped off in this like kind of you know predominantly black community and so he he says some kind of joke surrounding it and they they found that to be insensitive and he says it was is bad joke and it was clunky and everything I'm saying is off the cuff and I was stupid and that shouldn't of set it and I apologize if I find you apologize I didn't mean it that way I'm not racist and so you know what I think were seeing as them grabbing for straws when you have to sift through hundred platelike tens of thousands of hours of everybody's speech to find very small one set not even a you can even find a sentence to pace people off you had to find a word you had to find a word word word word word to put back to back to back because if you gave the whole sentence surrounding the contact people would be upset at him you know at least as much as they are now again and this is not defending the use of that word he probably shouldn't say you hit in today's society you know but it's an interesting predicament that he found himself in here and it kudos to spot a fire for holding their ground and all of these little controversies between if you don't remember the their employees at one point were protesting and doing like walkouts and probably like starving themselves from their vegan lunches head at some point because of Joe Rogan and then after that Neil Young pulls himself off the spot if I which probably loses you know $10 of market share total off of their company and then you know this one comes up so kudos to them for kind of sticking to their guns a little bit and you know backing him up and not pulling it and obviously they have a very very large investment into hidden Joe Rogan but he's probably also grown their base of users by mean I don't know about you but the only reason I have spot fire my phone is because I listen to some Joe Rogan episodes and so from their perspective you know it's probably money and it's probably you know obviously they could've pulled them very easily to if they look at it for you know from woke perspective so it would've been very easy for them to do so so good on them now the next thing to see here which is quite ironic is Whoopi Goldberg who at one point literally ahead of clip up of Whoopi Goldberg from the view making light of the fact that Joe Rogan was being you know put in the crosshairs of cancel culture in here she is six days after she is talk and shed about Joe Rogan getting canceled because a spot afire from the Neil Young situation she is to have suspended from her work for say in some stupid ship and I think this is a lesson that we can all learn about this you know cancel click cancel culture or society in situations like nobody's perfect everybody says stupid ship at some point even if your link you know you're gifted to it speaking right and you and you can think the things through before your essay them you're going to say something stupid eventually right like all your friends that from your high school note the stupid ship that came out of your mouth because I hung out with you enough right if you're around somebody long enough you're going to hear something that they said that's stupid and this is the case with with Whoopi Goldberg here it's like not like of the things that she said it's dangerous misinformation she's just a falcon idiot and she said something that was stupid that was might offend some people so that small minority of people will have you know a big enough Twitter presence to tip us off the company enough to make them think that they're going to you know lose money so they go after the person so in this situation will be Goldberg gets canceled this conversation that she has right here and then will move on from this this part of it so let's go ahead and watch will be covered but before we do that I

from schools and in this is why she get suspended for saying some stupid ship so her shoes schools books after one and wants of the state pulled to kill a Mockingbird off the required reading list after complaints from students and parents including a formal black student who said it made her uncomfortable and a Tennessee school put the graphic novel mouse out of their lessons on the Holocaust because it contains some immunity and some bad language personally I'm shocked because you know even the story of the mouse I'm I'm surprised that that's what that's what made you uncomfortable the fact that there was some nudity and having its it's about the Holocaust the killing of 6 million people went back didn't bother you what the domain I am not sure that they know what use they make a point as a kind of AI cannot yeah throw you off for night they made my history that makes my made me look bad well like this is why people doing it politely this is the jungle fight amongst yourselves but lacks behavior music they listen to and to say that when proving our or showing in the work of history or art or something happened that is bad language or nudity turn off reality TV turn off the radio turned everything they're doing these kids are exposed to the staff namely early inappropriate situations not ones where you're learning or teaching anonymity is that his is a drawing of his mom who died during the Holocaust contaminated and mouse which is the other listing saying what was going on in story it's about it's about the words about them and that I am not yet in one class but weren't because if you are sitting amongst lots of students and you reading it out loud comes up a lot and makes people uncomfortable and especially if you're the only yeah Black Canyon in the database on that list went there to talk about the check out another pension stop people from having it as reading but is stopping is required to meet and inspire the whale moving through the Florida legislature has now about banning any conversation in schools that make people feel uncomfortable because of their race or gender there is also in Florida bail Banning talking about LGBT Q conversations is being referred to as don't say go know what's happening with all of this banning going on you know we talked about the beloved being bad miles to kill a Mockingbird conversations I think of making it very difficult to teach kids what T-Mobile talk about and complain about people being snowflake phrases no-fly to the viewing is the greatest plan with the anti-history laws that started being passed the CRT allege CRT mother started being passed I don't think people saw far enough into the future you start banning discussions about race when you start banning discussions about the Holocaust and you start banning discussions about the LGBT Q community that's where it started and this was all very planned in and in my view and what bothers me the most is people saying I don't want my children to be uncomfortable well how about your children being uncomfortable in being in a a way of learning empathy and a way of of of learning sorrow in a way of of of lurking up being able to empathize with other people's plight I've always had of my children are subjected to racism at there's only three minutes left in the part where Whoopi Goldberg said some stupid stuff is coming right up so until I I don't want to listen to the view either I promise this is the most I've ever listen to it in my entire life so were in a move on theirs like two minutes left in this club for 2 1/2 minutes so stay with me here at a very early age which they are then your child should be okay with being having a little bit of discomfort and learning I ran as a medic that I am serve that young children are naturally empathetic yet removed and that the empathy is kind of drained out of them by their parents and things that they hear advance that song this is not a blog really has light South Pacific yeah my grandson I remember when he was around faithfully as though there was a kid was in trouble for some reason I Amicus Mattel to put my plans and put it on around them in right on with you when you talk about and I think that's what the children are naturally like that… You don't like what happened to his his friend who happens to be what he might feel terrible about what happened that doesn't mean he feels bad that he did something exactly because of the confusion that they're creating I believe what the faded college is this all started in colleges and universities and not wanting to make kids uncomfortable and we type that went to Michelle and actually Van Jones when he said if I send my kids to school I want them to be uncomfortable I want people to push back on their beliefs because otherwise were not parent kids glad to the real world were preparing them for a world that doesn't exist outside of their own house will also if you going to do this and let's be truthful about because the Holocaust isn't about race no it's not about emancipating that it's it's not about race it's not about what it is about because it it's about man's inhumanity to man that's what it's about credit to buy white supremacy and yet rated file number but these are two filmlike groups of people the brightly. Ms. White missing appointee missing the point now when you turn it into race goes down this alley let's talk about it for what it is it's how people treat each other it's a problem it doesn't matter if you're black or white because black white use it to everybody each each other so is it if you are uncomfortable if you hear about mouse should you be willing to change a child sell my God I wonder if that's me know that's not what they gonna save you say I don't want to be like hopefully so there was that that was the part she's had the Holocaust wasn't about race can and you even see the young comfortability like spread across this room and by the way I never really noticed this but the women in the view basically look like with you go to your iPhone and find the woman the Moji and hold it down you see all the different races like they like check the box like they had like a focus group me to hang around making sure they checked every single box of of nationality and race so it's funny to see valve laid out like that but so what she what she said there is the Holocaust was not about race and so you know you see that I don't even know her name in churches one of the more well-known ones there but the redhaired one saying I think I think it was him and she's will that was white on white so it's not about race it's about like man's inhumanity towards Mandan and so you even see there like without the context of the entire situation you use I saw great I hope you guys feeling I gave you the context you give you probably too much of the view in terms of contacts but you see it there that like you know if you just click that were she says the Holocaust wasn't about race and then you kind of just pull that out yeah it sounds it's a stupid statement is that is not a racist statement shouldn't have underlying like racism beliefs regarding the Holocaust and she's not a Holocaust denier she was like trying to make a more like philosophical point really poorly I think no so even in this case I get is so funny to see that cancer culture comes around to cancel the people who make a living off of canceling people and that's what you see here with Whoopi Goldberg sing some stupid ship she still probably shouldn't be canceled for should be suspended for saying something stupid what should've happened is and what you sought kind of there was her panel of people making her uncomfortable and you saw her kinda try to go on a rant there to cover up her tracks saying something stupid but even that you don't need to be canceled for that right and you saw that before that she said the N word in this clip right during the same week that she's going after Joe Rogan and she in them and was even on the show with the timer that after that happened which I'm sure she would've loved to be but then they like blurred her mouth and lights of super weird but so that was Whoopi Goldberg getting canceled for saying that the Holocaust was about race which is always a very stupid but no reason you should be losing your job maybe some should come to you and like debate you or at least make you feel stupid about it enough to where you go home and you're about to go to sleep and you can't really go to sleep because remember that one conversation where you said the Holocaust wasn't about race and everybody at the lunch table with you was like yeah I did was you dumb ass and you feel stupid for when you second-guess yourself before going to sleep about you you know I shouldn't said that and I feel stupid now I know you know sure that's how you make change right if you make somebody uncomfortable enough people to like being uncomfortable so that a change that their ways and probably not say something as stupid as that but that doesn't mean you lose your job doesn't mean that she should be pushed off the show even though she makes her living off of canceling people problem but basically so the next conversation here is around the the go fund me account so what happened here was the go fund me cancels freedom convoy and will be donating the 9 million to charity so there's an update roundness they decided that they're in a refund everybody but this says they go for me officially canceled the freedom convoy fundraiser on Friday and plans to distribute the remaining 9 million of donated funds to a credible and established charity the crowdfunding platform clean the fundraiser which raise $10 million in Canadian while in Canadian dollars and 8 million in USD in support of truckers protesting against Cove in 19 the vx mandates violating the terms of service which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment funny supports Pete's full protest and will put we believe that the was the intention of the freedom come by fundraiser when it was first created the company send the statement released Friday morning we now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity hit they go on the say from there go fund me account this is good for me supports people of peaceful protests and just reiterates religious others of the decision came after one day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a military response to the protests was not in the cards right now in the House of Commons public safety and national security committee called fungal fund me to detail how it would ensure donations were being used to promote extremism and hate meanwhile freedom kindly Oregon organizer Tamara Leach announced Friday night that they have teamed up with give it send go another online platform to continue raising funds for truckers give him go or give Sango is going to enable us to get donations into the hands of truckers much much quicker she said if you can donate and help us keep the strikers going we plan to be here for a long time as long as it takes to ensure that your rights and freedoms are restored to go find me suspended the freedom convoys fundraiser to internal review on Wednesday after had accrued more than 10 million in donations the company had previously released 1 million to organizers after they provided a clear distribution plan and confirm funds will be used only for participants who travel to Ottawa to her to participate in a peaceful protest the organizers claimed that the funds will be used for expenses such as fuel gas what fuel and gas in the fuel of food and lodging with any leftover donations being gifted to a credible veterans organization which will be chosen by the donors go for me announced Friday they will no longer be releasing funds to the organizations because of how this situation has evolved no look no further funds will be directly distributed to freedom calmly organizers a company statement said we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the freedom convoy 22 organizers and verified by co-funding the company said donors have until February 19 to request a refund Trudeau and some of his liberal party allies have accused the convoy demonstrated of extremism and racism a charge that Leach strongly denied on Thursday we are here out of love for our families our communities and our nation these past two years the coven mandates have divided us she said in a statement this protest began because of the federal government's restrictions on truckers freedoms our movement has grown in Canada and across the world because, people are tired of the mandates and restrictions in their own lives that now seem to be doing more harm in good so sounds a lot like the government pressed go fund me to shut down the donations of the people literally metal refining here is like the linchpin of all these movements are being shut down in in all of the corporate governors right were finding that you know what was it in in this situation was go fund me you know in in the dirt looking to spot if I as being that linchpin for Joe Rogan and there you note that there any way or in any way that they can find somebody who they can utilize money to manipulate people there doing so go fund me as just another another piece of that right so so what were going to see here is that they actually moved over to a website called gifts and go Marina pull that website up here in a second and watch the video by the leader of the freedom convoy bullets talk about the freedom convoys are not familiar with what's going on now to worry now is basically there was some some mandates that came out between the United States government and the Canadian government is that if you are a trucker you have to coming up through the United States to Canada or from Canada to the United States I believe it's at least one of those I know that's at least one of those maybe both of them that you have to show your vx passport you have to show that your vaccinated to get in the door of a country that you have passport to so that was one of the mandates that they were basically going to Ottawa to shut down the streets over and over these mandates and this is this this grew over. – Very short and quick. Of time hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Ottawa and have been showing under I like the amount of love and peace that your seeing from that the leaders of this organization saying that were going to be peaceful everything were gonna do is out of love and were going to have fun and you watch these videos of them in the end are all just like hugging each other and listening to music and dancing and waving flags and it looks nothing like the protest that we've seen in the United States over the last two years nothing like the black lives matter protest nothing like these violent protests that we see and hear it looks like people there specifically to make a change and do it in a peaceful manner and there's been no footage nobody can find footage note you can't find a single clip right now somebody literally there was a there was bit of the picture being circulated of somebody with like a Nazi flag or Confederate flag and in within minutes of that flag being walked around with by these two guys they got the ship kicked out of them by four people Samaritans also there protesting and they took the flag and ripped away from them like that that's like, that's how it should be right so many wants to act up you might get your ass kicked right if you want to do some stupid like area Nazi flag you should probably get the Schick kicked out of you and get the flag from you that's what happened in the situation can lessen the most violent thing we've ever heard somebody beat up a Nazi like oh that's the worst thing that happened that the freedom convoy somebody beat up somebody with a Nazi flag Inverness strip them of their money literally the only violent thing I've ever heard of coming out of the fruit of company nickel funnies in a strip them of $10 million that people handed to them that they were to take a service charge from we'll need you we can literally send a falcon envelope to a PO Box we don't need go fund me we don't need Facebook we don't need Instagram we don't need any of these platforms that are going to be the Lynchburg linchpin of freedom we do not need you we will find a way whether that's sending an envelope to an auto PO Box with money in it to support these truckers fighting for our freedoms over that's moving off of social media right or whether it's moving over from go fund me to give some go Christian giving website that has not shut down anybody in this type of situation that I'm aware of we need to cut out the linchpins it needs to be a movement and what will find is there's going to be and when that biggest linchpin that we've seen happen as soon as possible what was it can even remember it now right as soon as that the social media app that was coming out got shut down by Amazon right what was it like twitter replacement I can't believe I can't members I had an account I was super excited about it and they cut it off at the knees I know you guys are thinking how stupid in my parlor Jesus man I can't believe I missed that for so long parlor did you find as I found it on my own I don't be mad at me parlor right during covert parlor was coming out this post replace Twitter supposed replace your social media is to be free speech it was like ran by a preacher like and Benigno and then they literally took they couldn't stop them anywhere else so they went to the servers the people that held the servers like Amazon servers the light cut off them from any sort using any server basically legitimately cut them off from the Internet we need to get away from these linchpins we need to stop paying for our own slavery under these corporations that want nothing about your best interest in mind it's all about corporatism it's all about government is all about totalitarianism we need to find a way to migrate away from them I'm glad that they did that with the freedom convoy bring that full circle for you guys I am I'm really glad that they moved over to give Sango and what I think they should do is find the damn PO Box that people can just send money to that's a great solution to old-fashioned will need you we do not need you give Sango I'll take a 20 and walk it to Ottawa before we need to use give her we do not before use go fund me again but thank God there's gifts and the go and the situation speaking of gifts and go let's go ahead and watch this video were gifts

It's sporadic for the podcast to have a guest that is royalty. Episode 447 just so happens to have someone with royal blood. Okay, I'm not sure about that, but everyone, please stand up and shout hooray for our musical guest Lord Baltimore!!

Bennett and Claiborne had control of Virginia, and two weeks later they went to Maryland to demand it renounce its loyalty to Lord Baltimore.  When Marylanders refused, they took over the colony's government.  Baltimore ordered his governor to fight to maintain the colony's government (and therefore, its stance of toleration toward Catholics), and this fight culminated in a bloody fight involving nearly 400 colonists.  This came to be known as the Battle of the Severn.

La Iª Guerra Mundial. El capitán Lord Baltimore y todos sus soldados son derribados en una carga contra una trinchera alemana. Él es el único superviviente y una grave herida en su pierna izquierda le mantiene inmovilizado. Pero lo peor llega cuando despierta por unos extraños ruidos, el sonido de la carne de sus soldados […] La entrada Baltimore se publicó primero en Kolaz Dice.

The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) is a small icterid blackbird common in eastern North America as a migratory breeding bird. It received its name from the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore.

This week we discuss acts of Artistic Anarchy, living as the Eternal Student, and the teachings behind the Law of One with Oneness, the Archangel Gabriel Lugo. The Law of One is a series of ethereal channelings that attempt to provide answers to Life's greatest mysteries. While I cannot say that the information in the law of one is Truth, I can say that it feels FAR more true than anything I've previously listened to. It resonates so deeply within my being because the interactions between the channelers and the entities they communicate with ... is sooo funny XDSo please enjoy this energizing, entertaining conversation, I had so much fun recording and look forward to having Oneness back on the podcast. Thank you again to Matt Geline for the awesome intro song remake and Lord Baltimore for the original Scheming Mind Palace Jam

Welcome to the first Scheming Mind Palace Cranial Collaboration with my dear friend, Jack Doyle, otherwise known as Lord Baltimore. We discuss how to become a famous artist in the modern era, how to stand out from the cacophony of competition and many future collaborative schemes.

In this episode we look into the flexible nature of the world around us, and the impact that we can actually have upon it. By looking into different countries and examples, we try to break down how much you can actually influence reality.The USA, the USSR, the EU and China all are examples of this, as they become more conscious creations rather than simple products of history.Presenters: Daniel, Carla and ShannonSources and Notes (In order of reference):The Secret, 2006, Rhonda ByrneLord Baltimore - I have to apologize because I cannot find a reference to the incident with Lord Baltimore, and I may be mistaking him for someone by another name, however I did find a reference to a Prince Henry of Prussia, who was invited in 1786 by Nathaniel Gorham (the President of the Continental Congress) to come to America and become the King of America, shortly after the victory over the British. They saw the reassertion of monarchy as very important, which while roundabout, proves my original assertion. Unsurprisingly, Henry declined, after the way the British treated their previous Monarch.I heavily encourage you to view this below Time article by Richard Hurowitz to view the full extent of how habitual so much of the American thinking was at that time.(https://time.com/5459916/american-monarchy/)Socialism with Chinese Characteristics - This term was actually coined in the era after Mao, and while Mao identified a unique version of Socialism, I just wanted to mention that this particular term was actually coined later in the Deng Xiaoping era, during the reform period.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristicsMore particularly you’d want to look at the term Maoism.The European Coal and Steel Community - https://carleton.ca/ces/eulearning/history/moving-to-integration/the-european-coal-and-steel-community/You can see at the above the story of the founding of the ECSC, and what would later become the EU.The EU Vote - The vote was to create an EU Constitution, but it was blocked by French and Dutch voters in 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_a_Constitution_for_EuropeThe treaty of Lisbon was later signed as a replacement for this to create a common set of rules regardless, without being an explicit constitution. But with that earlier vote the mental battle to create a Federal Europe had stalled, and with it, the road towards Federation and a proper democratic process was aborted. Because as we’ve stated, it’s all about perception, and the public had voted it was afraid of the EU and what it was becoming.The Congo - http://whynationsfail.com/blog/2013/8/15/the-roads-of-the-congo.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterIn the book Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson, which I’m referencing, they detail a great deal of the ways by which the Congo collapsed, due to a paranoid Mobutu government not wanting to invest in the state or infrastructure for fear of empowering opposition. Essentially the far right, mixed with Libertarianism of a sort. So you had a hollow state, much of which ended up subject to lawlessness. It’s worth reading the entire book honestly, I’m a big fan of it, and it’s a case for the proper interaction between the state and the populace, and their interreliance to develop healthily.Dunbar’s Number - The number theorized by Robin Dunbar in 1990, which estimated that humans golden number of social connections is roughly 150 people, or more precisely, 100-250. It was originally seen as a correlation between brain sizes and social group sizes in primates.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_numberI can never remember the proper names when I’m talking on the fly!The Surprise Trump Vote -https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2017/05/voting_in_america.html2.8m additional white people came out and voted in 2016 compared to 2012, according to the US census bureau. A massive number of disenfranchised people primarily in rust belt states who feel alienated from the world around them, voted for Trump.This was a manifestation of the disaffected making themselves known, and changing the world through the democratic process.I am also referencing here Timothy Carney’s book Alienated America which he released early 2019. He makes an excellent case for the need for civil society. I don’t agree that the Church has to solve these problems as I think he simply makes the case for any ideological bonded institution. However, his observations about disaffection and societal dissolution are very sharp.I also have qualms about his understanding of regulation and the role of the state, as well as his fundamental misunderstanding of the general increase in atheism among western society. But that’s beside the accuracy of his research into alienation and the Trump vote indicators.Foreign Aid Numbers -The United States spends about 1% of it’s budget on foreign aid, about 45 billion dollars. Its spent in this ball park almost every year since the year 2012, making it 288 billion between 2012 and 2017.https://explorer.usaid.gov/This is greater than the annual GDP of Chile or Finland, and almost 150% of New Zealand.

Shad B. Ewart has been a professor and administrator at Anne Arundel Community College since 2001. Prior to that, he was a professor of business at Mount Vernon College in Washington, DC. At Anne Arundel Community College, he has served as Department Chair and Director of Business Programs. As chair he designed the curriculum for the Business Support Specialist program and the Transportation Logistics and Cargo Security program. Many of his curricular innovations have been replicated in other parts of the college. Mr. Ewart has also served the college on a variety of committees including being chair of the Academic Forum and other college committees. Professor Ewart has also been responsible for the design and developments of the first course to explore the entrepreneurial opportunities created by the legalization of cannabis for medical use in the state of Maryland. A number of students who have successfully completed the course have already found employment in the industry, have started their own businesses and in one case, own a dispensary. Professor Ewart is currently developing the first college credit program for those interested in entry level jobs in the cannabis industry. Our full conversation transcript is below: Anthony Verna: Okay. I am here with Professor Shad. You are, how are you doing professor? Shad Ewart: I'm doing fine. Yeah, I it's nice to see you. Anthony Verna: It's a pleasure to see you and talk to you as well. We're not big on introductions here, but just to be quick you're a professor and administrator at Anne Arundel community college in Maryland, correct? Shad Ewart: That is correct. And Arundel was the, a wife of Lord Baltimore. So there is our connection. Anthony Verna: And you are, a business professor, entrepreneurship professor, correct. Shad Ewart: A business professor and department chair. I run the business management department here at Anne Arundel. Anthony Verna: Wonderful. And as a part of this, you've created courses for entrepreneurship in cannabis. Shad Ewart: Yeah. Started about, if you don't mind, I'll tell you a little bit of history here. Anthony Verna: Please, please. Cause, to me, getting, getting into cannabis is just as interesting as the cannabis industry itself. Shad Ewart: So I had a class here at Anne Arundel. It was called small business management. Uh, I taught that quite often and um, we focused on rain barrels, uh, here in there, Anne Arundel county. We are near the Chesapeake Bay and these people love their water. So saving debate, 55 gallons at a time. It was a, an interesting class that, um, uh, it was real. You can't just talk about widgets these days in college and, and, and the rain barrel class made it real. And I was getting these questions while I was teaching this class. And this goes back about five years ago. The students were simply interested in, in what was going on in the cannabis world. I think, uh, probably what they were looking at more was a, a Colorado, Colorado coming online, uh, with their medical program 2012 and 2014 with their adult use or recreational program. Anthony Verna: That's what I was going to say. I think Colorado tends to be a unicorn for a lot of people. Shad Ewart: It is. It is. And it's a unique, it's unique, uh, islands of legality in a sea of illegality. And we'll get that, uh, that statement there. But, uh, um, uh, the students were just interested in it. And I had a former student that had come back to the college to just visit and I asked him what he was doing and he, he mentioned that his father, uh, was a farmer out in California, uh, grew artismal lettuce. I have no idea how his dad got sick, though. His Dad got cancer and Tyler had to go out to California and take over the farm and he converted it to a medical cannabis farm, a licensed medical cannabis farm, uh, growing a,

Season 3, Episode 24 The group participates in a royal affair in this penultimate episode of season 3. All hail Lord Baltimore and his beautiful crab bride.

The final parts describing Maryland really comes down to a few major items, the succession of the Calverts through the years. The conflicts between government and citizens, starting in Virginia, Bacon’s rebellion, an action that could have spilled over into Maryland’s own governmental uneasiness, and throw in the wars in Europe that added to the contention against Cecilius Calvert’s (second Lord Baltimore) religion.

Lord Baltimore had control of Maryland but, this was short lived. The disputes in Europe lead some to take advantage of the New World’s venerability. It didn’t help matters with the execution of Charles I. Claiborne and this time with the assistance of Richard Ingle put the strong arm upon Maryland. Once Oliver Cromwell became the Lord Protector in England, matters about the validity of Baltimore’s charter was finally laid to rest. Maryland was now its own province.

William Claiborne sailed over from England in 1621, became secretary of the province and was later appointed treasurer of Virginia for life. He created a trading post on Kent Island, a convenient place for trading with the Indians, far up the Chesapeake Bay. In 1634 new settlers landed in this area and created a new province naming it Maryland. This group had a charter authorized by the King, taking away land that was considered part of Virginia and this would include Kent Island. So starts the mud flinging between Claiborne and Lord Baltimore.

King James I was gracious enough to grant Lord Baltimore or George Calvert a stretch of land at the South Eastern promontory in Newfoundland a region that was known as Ferryland. It was great in the beginning but, a little on the cold side for his likely. He asked the new king, Charles, for a territory located in a warmer climate. The suggested area was Carolina but, in steps William Claiborne who already had his eye on this land. Next was the land area North of Jamestown, it was ripe for the settling. Yes, it was part of Virginia, not anymore, it would become Maryland. The worst part, this transferred control of the Indian trade and control of the great waterways connected to the great bay known as the Chesapeake to Lord Baltimore and his difference of religion. The Virginians are not going to be happy with this situation.

Baltimore's aptly named, Lord Baltimore Hotel, is a member of the Historic Hotels of America. It's location in the city provides easy access to many of Baltimore's many attractions and offer a luxurious destination.

Lord Baltimore gets a charter, but Virginia opposes this, seeing it as an encroachment on their territory.  Baltimore stays in London to deal with legal disputes, but the rest of the colonists sail for Maryland.  After a long, eventful voyage the colonists arrived at the Chesapeake.  

One of the running themes of A History of Maryland is just how different (and kind of weird) our little state/province/colony could be.  And I thought a good way of illustrating that point would be to compare Maryland with the Pilgrims.  Because Everyone knows the story of the Pilgrims.  It has become the foundation story of America. In this supplementary episode, we will de-mythologize the Pilgrim story a bit.  Then we'll see how Maryland stacks up to the pilgrims in regards several key angles of the American foundation story.  Things like: Seeking freedom from oppression, the roots of American democracy, and religious freedom. We'll talk about Maryland's founding charter of 1632, which establishes Maryland as a quasi-feudal palatinate.  With Cecil Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore, as it's absolute autocrat and Lord Proprietor.  We'll also talk a bit about Maryland's uniquely precarious position as an English colony run by Catholics, and the unique form of religious toleration it created.  And compare this to other examples in Virginia and New England. We'll also delve more deeply into one of our broadly defined religious factions:  The Puritans.  Who will eventually have a large impact on Maryland and the Calvert regime's grip on power.

A show today about the Chesapeake. First, a book, called--“A Biography of a Map in Motion.” It’s the backstory of a map by 17th-century trader, diplomat, and immigrant Augustine Herrman. Towson history professor Christian Koot says Herrman’s map was a godsend for merchants who traveled from Delaware to Virginia, and for Lord Baltimore, who wanted to show off the growth of his colony.Then, fast-forward four centuries: Karl Blankenship, editor of the Bay Journal, on why the record growth of underwater grasses is a good sign for the Bay’s health.

Sir Lord Baltimore Kingdom Come For William J Ortiz

Pat had good things to say about this horror comic, with the caveat that you're really INTO horror comics. Lord Baltimore is missing. The Red King—evil incarnate—is taking over the world. Baltimore's team has been driven apart, with some of them dying on the front-lines while others are in hiding. Since the day he set out for revenge on the vampire who killed his family, Baltimore's fight has gotten bigger than he'd ever imagined, but what role will he take as evil finally threatens to consume the world? This story took him back to those days as an angsty teenager just looking for everything to burn, and for that it's a recommend.

This book unveils an ancient secret that is so powerful that it reveals the history of ancient civilizations as far back as 10,000 BC. The secret unlocks previously unknown geoglyphic messages left by ancient peoples, around the world, for future generations. The book traces the movement of ancient Europeans during their pre-Columbian colonization of the Americas. Over 200 documentary photos.Author of Ancient SignpostsAll my life I have marveled at the stories my Grandfather told me, as a child, about the Faram family in England. These were stories that occurred prior to their immigration to the U.S. from England in the early 20th century.During the research I learned that, as is the case today, heads of state, and the persons close to them, possessed certain ancient information that allowed them to know things and prosper in ways that the common man did not. It was while compiling and verifying my family history that I was led from Galicia and Portugal, to Denmark, Scotland, Britain and eventually the United States.If you are a fan of the Celtics (The civilization, not the basketball team.) you know that each of these countries played major roles in the history of the Celtic empire. Rather than writing another book about the Faram clan, I direct your attention to some of the buzz words related to our family history; Farum Brigantium, Templers, Vikings, Henry Sinclair, Jamestown, Lord Baltimore, and the Newport Tower, RI USA. You can preview, and order the book, “Ancient Signposts” at http://www.thefaramfoundation.com/bookad.htm.

Summary of today's show: The US bishops sounded a clarion call to Catholics on April 12, 2012 with their landmark statement on religious liberty, “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty”. Scot Landry, Fr. Chip Hines, and Domenico Bettinelli go over the document in detail, discussing what it means for Catholics, showing how unprecedented is this courageous stance form the bishops, and how dangerous is the current threat to religious liberty, not for just Catholics, but for all people of faith—and even no faith—everywhere. They also discuss concert steps you can take to join the fight to protect your religious liberty Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Chip Hines Today's guest(s): Domenico Bettinelli Links from today's show: Today's topics: The US bishops' statement on religious liberty 1st segment: Our First, Most Cherished Liberty: A Statement on Religious Liberty United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty We are Catholics. We are Americans. We are proud to be both, grateful for the gift of faith which is ours as Christian disciples, and grateful for the gift of liberty which is ours as American citizens. To be Catholic and American should mean not having to choose one over the other. Our allegiances are distinct, but they need not be contradictory, and should instead be complementary. That is the teaching of our Catholic faith, which obliges us to work together with fellow citizens for the common good of all who live in this land. That is the vision of our founding and our Constitution, which guarantees citizens of all religious faiths the right to contribute to our common life together. Freedom is not only for Americans, but we think of it as something of our special inheritance, fought for at a great price, and a heritage to be guarded now. We are stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but for all nations and peoples who yearn to be free. Catholics in America have discharged this duty of guarding freedom admirably for many generations. In 1887, when the archbishop of Baltimore, James Gibbons, was made the second American cardinal, he defended the American heritage of religious liberty during his visit to Rome to receive the red hat. Speaking of the great progress the Catholic Church had made in the United States, he attributed it to the “civil liberty we enjoy in our enlightened republic.” Indeed, he made a bolder claim, namely that “in the genial atmosphere of liberty [the Church] blossoms like a rose.”1 From well before Cardinal Gibbons, Catholics in America have been advocates for religious liberty, and the landmark teaching of the Second Vatican Council on religious liberty was influenced by the American experience. It is among the proudest boasts of the Church on these shores. We have been staunch defenders of religious liberty in the past. We have a solemn duty to discharge that duty today. We need, therefore, to speak frankly with each other when our freedoms are threatened. Now is such a time. As Catholic bishops and American citizens, we address an urgent summons to our fellow Catholics and fellow Americans to be on guard, for religious liberty is under attack, both at home and abroad. This has been noticed both near and far. Pope Benedict XVI recently spoke about his worry that religious liberty in the United States is being weakened. He called it the “most cherished of American freedoms”—and indeed it is. All the more reason to heed the warning of the Holy Father, a friend of America and an ally in the defense of freedom, in his recent address to American bishops: Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that most cherished of American freedoms, the freedom of religion. Many of you have pointed out that concerted efforts have been made to deny the right of conscientious objection on the part of Catholic individuals and institutions with regard to cooperation in intrinsically evil practices. Others have spoken to me of a worrying tendency to reduce religious freedom to mere freedom of worship without guarantees of respect for freedom of conscience. Here once more we see the need for an engaged, articulate and well-formed Catholic laity endowed with a strong critical sense vis-à-vis the dominant culture and with the courage to counter a reductive secularism which would delegitimize the Church's participation in public debate about the issues which are determining the future of American society.2 Religious Liberty Under Attack—Concrete Examples Is our most cherished freedom truly under threat? Sadly, it is. This is not a theological or legal dispute without real world consequences. Consider the following: HHS mandate for contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs. The mandate of the Department of Health and Human Services has received wide attention and has been met with our vigorous and united opposition. In an unprecedented way, the federal government will both force religious institutions to facilitate and fund a product contrary to their own moral teaching and purport to define which religious institutions are “religious enough” to merit protection of their religious liberty. These features of the “preventive services” mandate amount to an unjust law. As Archbishop-designate William Lori of Baltimore, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty, testified to Congress: “This is not a matter of whether contraception may be prohibited by the government. This is not even a matter of whether contraception may be supported by the government. Instead, it is a matter of whether religious people and institutions may be forced by the government to provide coverage for contraception or sterilization, even if that violates their religious beliefs.”3 State immigration laws. Several states have recently passed laws that forbid what the government deems “harboring” of undocumented immigrants—and what the Church deems Christian charity and pastoral care to those immigrants. Perhaps the most egregious of these is in Alabama, where the Catholic bishops, in cooperation with the Episcopal and Methodist bishops of Alabama, filed suit against the law: It is with sadness that we brought this legal action but with a deep sense that we, as people of faith, have no choice but to defend the right to the free exercise of religion granted to us as citizens of Alabama… . The law makes illegal the exercise of our Christian religion which we, as citizens of Alabama, have a right to follow. The law prohibits almost everything which would assist an undocumented immigrant or encourage an undocumented immigrant to live in Alabama. This new Alabama law makes it illegal for a Catholic priest to baptize, hear the confession of, celebrate the anointing of the sick with, or preach the word of God to, an undocumented immigrant. Nor can we encourage them to attend Mass or give them a ride to Mass. It is illegal to allow them to attend adult scripture study groups, or attend CCD or Sunday school classes. It is illegal for the clergy to counsel them in times of difficulty or in preparation for marriage. It is illegal for them to come to Alcoholic Anonymous meetings or other recovery groups at our churches.4 Altering Church structure and governance. In 2009, the Judiciary Committee of the Connecticut Legislature proposed a bill that would have forced Catholic parishes to be restructured according to a congregational model, recalling the trusteeism controversy of the early nineteenth century, and prefiguring the federal government's attempts to redefine for the Church “religious minister” and “religious employer” in the years since. Christian students on campus. In its over-100-year history, the University of California Hastings College of Law has denied student organization status to only one group, the Christian Legal Society, because it required its leaders to be Christian and to abstain from sexual activity outside of marriage. Catholic foster care and adoption services. Boston, San Francisco, the District of Columbia, and the state of Illinois have driven local Catholic Charities out of the business of providing adoption or foster care services—by revoking their licenses, by ending their government contracts, or both—because those Charities refused to place children with same-sex couples or unmarried opposite-sex couples who cohabit. Discrimination against small church congregations. New York City enacted a rule that barred the Bronx Household of Faith and sixty other churches from renting public schools on weekends for worship services even though non-religious groups could rent the same schools for scores of other uses. While this would not frequently affect Catholic parishes, which generally own their own buildings, it would be devastating to many smaller congregations. It is a simple case of discrimination against religious believers. Discrimination against Catholic humanitarian services. Notwithstanding years of excellent performance by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Migration and Refugee Services in administering contract services for victims of human trafficking, the federal government changed its contract specifications to require us to provide or refer for contraceptive and abortion services in violation of Catholic teaching. Religious institutions should not be disqualified from a government contract based on religious belief, and they do not somehow lose their religious identity or liberty upon entering such contracts. And yet a federal court in Massachusetts, turning religious liberty on its head, has since declared that such a disqualification is required by the First Amendment—that the government somehow violates religious liberty by allowing Catholic organizations to participate in contracts in a manner consistent with their beliefs on contraception and abortion. Religious Liberty Is More Than Freedom of Worship Religious liberty is not only about our ability to go to Mass on Sunday or pray the Rosary at home. It is about whether we can make our contribution to the common good of all Americans. Can we do the good works our faith calls us to do, without having to compromise that very same faith? Without religious liberty properly understood, all Americans suffer, deprived of the essential contribution in education, health care, feeding the hungry, civil rights, and social services that religious Americans make every day, both here at home and overseas. What is at stake is whether America will continue to have a free, creative, and robust civil society—or whether the state alone will determine who gets to contribute to the common good, and how they get to do it. Religious believers are part of American civil society, which includes neighbors helping each other, community associations, fraternal service clubs, sports leagues, and youth groups. All these Americans make their contribution to our common life, and they do not need the permission of the government to do so. Restrictions on religious liberty are an attack on civil society and the American genius for voluntary associations. The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America issued a statement about the administration's contraception and sterilization mandate that captured exactly the danger that we face: Most troubling, is the Administration's underlying rationale for its decision, which appears to be a view that if a religious entity is not insular, but engaged with broader society, it loses its “religious” character and liberties. Many faiths firmly believe in being open to and engaged with broader society and fellow citizens of other faiths. The Administration's ruling makes the price of such an outward approach the violation of an organization's religious principles. This is deeply disappointing.5 This is not a Catholic issue. This is not a Jewish issue. This is not an Orthodox, Mormon, or Muslim issue. It is an American issue. The Most Cherished of American Freedoms In 1634, a mix of Catholic and Protestant settlers arrived at St. Clement's Island in Southern Maryland from England aboard the Ark and the Dove. They had come at the invitation of the Catholic Lord Baltimore, who had been granted Maryland by the Protestant King Charles I of England. While Catholics and Protestants were killing each other in Europe, Lord Baltimore imagined Maryland as a society where people of different faiths could live together peacefully. This vision was soon codified in Maryland's 1649 Act Concerning Religion (also called the “Toleration Act”), which was the first law in our nation's history to protect an individual's right to freedom of conscience. Maryland's early history teaches us that, like any freedom, religious liberty requires constant vigilance and protection, or it will disappear. Maryland's experiment in religious toleration ended within a few decades. The colony was placed under royal control, and the Church of England became the established religion. Discriminatory laws, including the loss of political rights, were enacted against those who refused to conform. Catholic chapels were closed, and Catholics were restricted to practicing their faith in their homes. The Catholic community lived under these conditions until the American Revolution. By the end of the 18th century, our nation's founders embraced freedom of religion as an essential condition of a free and democratic society. James Madison, often called the Father of the Constitution, described conscience as “the most sacred of all property.”6 He wrote that “the Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate.”7 George Washington wrote that “the establishment of Civil and Religious Liberty was the Motive that induced me to the field of battle.”8 Thomas Jefferson assured the Ursuline Sisters—who had been serving a mostly non-Catholic population by running a hospital, an orphanage, and schools in Louisiana since 1727—that the principles of the Constitution were a “sure guarantee” that their ministry would be free “to govern itself according to its own voluntary rules, without interference from the civil authority.”9 It is therefore fitting that when the Bill of Rights was ratified, religious freedom had the distinction of being the First Amendment. Religious liberty is indeed the first liberty. The First Amendment guarantees that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Recently, in a unanimous Supreme Court judgment affirming the importance of that first freedom, the Chief Justice of the United States explained that religious liberty is not just the first freedom for Americans; rather it is the first in the history of democratic freedom, tracing its origins back the first clauses of the Magna Carta of 1215 and beyond. In a telling example, Chief Justice Roberts illustrated our history of religious liberty in light of a Catholic issue decided upon by James Madison, who guided the Bill of Rights through Congress and is known as the architect of the First Amendment: [In 1806] John Carroll, the first Catholic bishop in the United States, solicited the Executive's opinion on who should be appointed to direct the affairs of the Catholic Church in the territory newly acquired by the Louisiana Purchase. After consulting with President Jefferson, then-Secretary of State James Madison responded that the selection of church “functionaries” was an “entirely ecclesiastical” matter left to the Church's own judgment. The “scrupulous policy of the Constitution in guarding against a political interference with religious affairs,” Madison explained, prevented the Government from rendering an opinion on the “selection of ecclesiastical individuals.”10 That is our American heritage, our most cherished freedom. It is the first freedom because if we are not free in our conscience and our practice of religion, all other freedoms are fragile. If citizens are not free in their own consciences, how can they be free in relation to others, or to the state? If our obligations and duties to God are impeded, or even worse, contradicted by the government, then we can no longer claim to be a land of the free, and a beacon of hope for the world. Our Christian Teaching During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, Americans shone the light of the Gospel on a dark history of slavery, segregation, and racial bigotry. The civil rights movement was an essentially religious movement, a call to awaken consciences, not only an appeal to the Constitution for America to honor its heritage of liberty. In his famous “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. boldly said, “The goal of America is freedom.” As a Christian pastor, he argued that to call America to the full measure of that freedom was the specific contribution Christians are obliged to make. He rooted his legal and constitutional arguments about justice in the long Christian tradition: I would agree with Saint Augustine that “An unjust law is no law at all.” Now what is the difference between the two? How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of Saint Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.11 It is a sobering thing to contemplate our government enacting an unjust law. An unjust law cannot be obeyed. In the face of an unjust law, an accommodation is not to be sought, especially by resorting to equivocal words and deceptive practices. If we face today the prospect of unjust laws, then Catholics in America, in solidarity with our fellow citizens, must have the courage not to obey them. No American desires this. No Catholic welcomes it. But if it should fall upon us, we must discharge it as a duty of citizenship and an obligation of faith. It is essential to understand the distinction between conscientious objection and an unjust law. Conscientious objection permits some relief to those who object to a just law for reasons of conscience—conscription being the most well-known example. An unjust law is “no law at all.” It cannot be obeyed, and therefore one does not seek relief from it, but rather its repeal. The Christian church does not ask for special treatment, simply the rights of religious freedom for all citizens. Rev. King also explained that the church is neither the master nor the servant of the state, but its conscience, guide, and critic. As Catholics, we know that our history has shadows too in terms of religious liberty, when we did not extend to others the proper respect for this first freedom. But the teaching of the Church is absolutely clear about religious liberty: The human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that in matters religious no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs … whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits… . This right of the human person to religious freedom is to be recognized in the constitutional law whereby society is governed. Thus it is to become a civil right.12 As Catholics, we are obliged to defend the right to religious liberty for ourselves and for others. We are happily joined in this by our fellow Christians and believers of other faiths. A recent letter to President Obama from some sixty religious leaders, including Christians of many denominations and Jews, argued that “it is emphatically not only Catholics who deeply object to the requirement that health plans they purchase must provide coverage of contraceptives that include some that are abortifacients.”13 More comprehensively, a theologically rich and politically prudent declaration from Evangelicals and Catholics Together made a powerful case for greater vigilance in defense of religious freedom, precisely as a united witness animated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.14 Their declaration makes it clear that as Christians of various traditions we object to a “naked public square,” stripped of religious arguments and religious believers. We do not seek a “sacred public square” either, which gives special privileges and benefits to religious citizens. Rather, we seek a civil public square, where all citizens can make their contribution to the common good. At our best, we might call this an American public square. The Lord Jesus came to liberate us from the dominion of sin. Political liberties are one part of that liberation, and religious liberty is the first of those liberties. Together with our fellow Christians, joined by our Jewish brethren, and in partnership with Americans of other religious traditions, we affirm that our faith requires us to defend the religious liberty granted us by God, and protected in our Constitution. Martyrs Around the World In this statement, as bishops of the United States, we are addressing ourselves to the situation we find here at home. At the same time, we are sadly aware that religious liberty in many other parts of the world is in much greater peril. Our obligation at home is to defend religious liberty robustly, but we cannot overlook the much graver plight that religious believers, most of them Christian, face around the world. The age of martyrdom has not passed. Assassinations, bombings of churches, torching of orphanages—these are only the most violent attacks Christians have suffered because of their faith in Jesus Christ. More systematic denials of basic human rights are found in the laws of several countries, and also in acts of persecution by adherents of other faiths. If religious liberty is eroded here at home, American defense of religious liberty abroad is less credible. And one common threat, spanning both the international and domestic arenas, is the tendency to reduce the freedom of religion to the mere freedom of worship. Therefore, it is our task to strengthen religious liberty at home, in this and other respects, so that we might defend it more vigorously abroad. To that end, American foreign policy, as well as the vast international network of Catholic agencies, should make the promotion of religious liberty an ongoing and urgent priority. “All the Energies the Catholic Community Can Muster” What we ask is nothing more than that our God-given right to religious liberty be respected. We ask nothing less than that the Constitution and laws of the United States, which recognize that right, be respected. In insisting that our liberties as Americans be respected, we know as bishops that what our Holy Father said is true. This work belongs to “an engaged, articulate and well-formed Catholic laity endowed with a strong critical sense vis-à-vis the dominant culture.” As bishops we seek to bring the light of the Gospel to our public life, but the work of politics is properly that of committed and courageous lay Catholics. We exhort them to be both engaged and articulate in insisting that as Catholics and as Americans we do not have to choose between the two. There is an urgent need for the lay faithful, in cooperation with Christians, Jews, and others, to impress upon our elected representatives the importance of continued protection of religious liberty in a free society. We address a particular word to those holding public office. It is your noble task to govern for the common good. It does not serve the common good to treat the good works of religious believers as a threat to our common life; to the contrary, they are essential to its proper functioning. It is also your task to protect and defend those fundamental liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. This ought not to be a partisan issue. The Constitution is not for Democrats or Republicans or Independents. It is for all of us, and a great nonpartisan effort should be led by our elected representatives to ensure that it remains so. We recognize that a special responsibility belongs to those Catholics who are responsible for our impressive array of hospitals, clinics, universities, colleges, schools, adoption agencies, overseas development projects, and social service agencies that provide assistance to the poor, the hungry, immigrants, and those faced with crisis pregnancies. You do the work that the Gospel mandates that we do. It is you who may be forced to choose between the good works we do by faith, and fidelity to that faith itself. We encourage you to hold firm, to stand fast, and to insist upon what belongs to you by right as Catholics and Americans. Our country deserves the best we have to offer, including our resistance to violations of our first freedom. To our priests, especially those who have responsibility for parishes, university chaplaincies, and high schools, we ask for a catechesis on religious liberty suited to the souls in your care. As bishops we can provide guidance to assist you, but the courage and zeal for this task cannot be obtained from another—it must be rooted in your own concern for your flock and nourished by the graces you received at your ordination. Catechesis on religious liberty is not the work of priests alone. The Catholic Church in America is blessed with an immense number of writers, producers, artists, publishers, filmmakers, and bloggers employing all the means of communications—both old and new media—to expound and teach the faith. They too have a critical role in this great struggle for religious liberty. We call upon them to use their skills and talents in defense of our first freedom. Finally to our brother bishops, let us exhort each other with fraternal charity to be bold, clear, and insistent in warning against threats to the rights of our people. Let us attempt to be the “conscience of the state,” to use Rev. King's words. In the aftermath of the decision on contraceptive and sterilization mandates, many spoke out forcefully. As one example, the words of one of our most senior brothers, Cardinal Roger Mahony, thirty-five years a bishop and recently retired after twenty-five years as archbishop of Los Angeles, provide a model for us here: “I cannot imagine a more direct and frontal attack on freedom of conscience than this ruling today. This decision must be fought against with all the energies the Catholic community can muster.”15 A Fortnight for Freedom In particular, we recommend to our brother bishops that we focus “all the energies the Catholic community can muster” in a special way this coming summer. As pastors of the flock, our privileged task is to lead the Christian faithful in prayer. Both our civil year and liturgical year point us on various occasions to our heritage of freedom. This year, we propose a special “fortnight for freedom,” in which bishops in their own dioceses might arrange special events to highlight the importance of defending our first freedom. Our Catholic institutions also could be encouraged to do the same, especially in cooperation with other Christians, Jews, people of other faiths, and indeed, all who wish to defend our most cherished freedom. We suggest that the fourteen days from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to July 4, Independence Day, be dedicated to this “fortnight for freedom”—a great hymn of prayer for our country. Our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power—St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action would emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty. Dioceses and parishes around the country could choose a date in that period for special events that would constitute a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty. In addition to this summer's observance, we also urge that the Solemnity of Christ the King—a feast born out of resistance to totalitarian incursions against religious liberty—be a day specifically employed by bishops and priests to preach about religious liberty, both here and abroad. To all our fellow Catholics, we urge an intensification of your prayers and fasting for a new birth of freedom in our beloved country. We invite you to join us in an urgent prayer for religious liberty. Almighty God, Father of all nations, For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1). We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good. Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties; By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land. We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness, and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. * Acknowledgements* Excerpts from The Documents of Vatican II, Walter M. Abbott, SJ, General Editor, copyright © 1966 by America Press, Inc. Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved.

This episode is titled Colonies.The 16th C saw the growth of the Spanish and Portuguese overseas empires. The Spanish Empire included Mexico, extending well into what is now the western half of North America. In the 17th C, other Europeans began their own empire-building. The most successful of the new colonial powers was Great Britain. Among its first overseas enterprises were the thirteen colonies in North America. Though we've already talked about the settling of Plymouth and the Puritan settlements of Massachusetts, we'll do a little review.The first British colonial ventures in North America failed. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh was granted a charter for colonization. He named the area Virginia, after the Virgin Queen Elizabeth. But his first two ventures failed. The first group of settlers returned to England, while the second disappeared.Then, in 1607 the first permanent colonization of Virginia began at Jamestown, named after the new British King James. There was a chaplain among them since the Virginia Company who sponsored the venture hoped to establish the Church of England in the new land and to offer its services both to the settlers and Indians. It also hoped the new colony would halt Spanish expansion, which was feared for its spread of the dreaded “popery,” as Puritans called Catholicism. But the colony's main purpose was economic rather than religious. The Church of England never had a bishop in Virginia or in any of the other colonies. The stockholders of the Virginia Company simply hoped trade with the Indians, along with whatever crops the settlers grew, would bring a profit.The founding of Virginia took place at the high point of Puritan influence in the Church of England. // Several of the stockholders and settlers believed the colony should be ruled by Puritan principles. Its early laws required attendance at worship twice a day, strict observance of Sunday as a day of rest and worship, and the prohibition of profanity and immodesty. But King James detested Puritans, and would not allow his colony to be ruled by them. A war with the native Americans in 1622 became the excuse to bring Virginia under his direct rule. After that, Puritan influence waned. Later Charles I, following James's anti-Puritan policy, carved out a large part of Virginia for a new colony called Maryland and placed it under the Catholic proprietor, Lord Baltimore. Maryland was intended to be a Roman Catholic enclave in the British North American colonies. While many Catholics did move there, Protestants outnumbered them.The Puritan Revolution in England made little impact on Virginia. The colonists were more interested in growing the new cash crop of tobacco and opening new lands for its cultivation than in the religious strife going on back in merry old England. Puritan zeal lost its vigor in the midst of economic prosperity. One of the things that led to this spiritual decline was the acceptance of slavery.Tobacco is a labor-intensive crop. The importation of cheap labor in the form of African slaves allowed the colonists to grow the tons of tobacco now all the rage in Europe. But the Protestant work ethic that lay at the heart of so much of the Puritan mindset was gutted by slavery. Simply put, Puritan colonists lost touch with why the Puritans back in England wanted to reform the government and Church of England.Prior to Abolition, the Church of England neglected evangelizing slaves. They did so because of an ancient principle prohibiting Christians from holding fellow believers in slavery. If a slave got saved, his owner was obliged to free her/him. Then, in 1667, a law was passed saying baptism didn't change a slave's legal status as the property of his owner.While the new and emerging American aristocracy of Virginia remained Anglican, many in the lower classes turned to dissident movements. When strict measures were taken against them, hundreds migrated to Catholic Maryland, where there was greater religious freedom. The Quakers and Methodists took turns making successful forays into Virginia's church scene.Other colonies were founded south of Virginia. The Carolinas, granted by the crown to a group of aristocratic stockholders in 1663, developed slowly. To encourage immigration, the proprietors declared religious freedom, which attracted dissidents from Virginia and England. It didn't take long before the people who settled in the new colonies claimed little to no religious affiliation other than a generic “Christian.”Georgia was founded for two over-arching reasons. The first was to halt Spanish expansion. The second was to serve as an alternative for England's overcrowded debtors' prisons. At the beginning of the 18th C, there were many who wanted to help the sorry lot of those in England who'd fallen into poverty and couldn't get out. One of the leaders of this campaign was a military hero named James Oglethorpe. He thought a colony ought to be founded in North America to serve as an alternative to the imprisonment of debtors. A royal charter was granted in 1732, and the first convicts arrived the next year. To these, others were soon added, along with a large group of religious refugees. Although Anglicanism was the official religion of Georgia, it made little impact on the colony. The failure of the Wesleys as Anglican pastors in the colony was typical of others. The Moravians had a measure of success, although their numbers were never large. The most significant religious movement in the early years of Georgia was the response to Whitefield's preaching. By the time of his death in 1770, he'd left his stamp on much of Georgia's religious life. Later, Methodists, Baptists, and others harvested what he'd sown.As we've seen in previous episodes, it was farther north, at Plymouth and around Boston that Puritanism made its greatest impact. When Roger Williams was banished, he settled Providence, around which the colony of Rhode Island eventually coalesced.The Hutchinsons and their supporters started Connecticut.The Puritans, who baptized their children, were influenced by the Pietistic belief in the necessity of a conversion experience in order to be a genuine Christian. The question then rose; “Why do we baptize children if people don't become Christians till they are converted?” Wouldn't it be wiser to wait till someone was converted, then dunk ‘em – like, BTW, the Baptists do in Rhode Island? Some wanted to follow this new course. But that clashed with the Puritan goal of founding a Christian society, one in covenant with God and guided by biblical principles. A Christian commonwealth is conceivable only if, as in ancient Israel, one becomes a member by birth, so that the civil and the religious communities are the same. So children HAD to be baptized because that's how you become part of the Church, and the Church and society were one and the same, just as in ancient Israel they entered the covenant by circumcision as infants.To make matters even MORE complicated à If infants were baptized so as to make them  “children of the covenant,” what was to be done with infants born of baptized parents who never had a conversion experience?Many came to the conclusion there needed to be a kind of “halfway covenant,” that included those who were baptized but had no personal conversion experience. The children of such people were to be baptized, for they were still members of the covenant community. But only those who had experienced a conversion were granted full membership in the church and were vested with the power to participate in the process of making decisions.This controversy engendered bitter arguments and monumental ill-will which turned the original optimism of the settlers into a dark foreboding. The tension over the Half-Way Covenant spilled over into new debates over how churches ought to be governed and over relations between local congregations who took different sides in the controversies that began to swirl. The majority settled on a form of church government called Congregationalism. They managed to maintain a grip on doctrinal orthodoxy by adhering to the Westminster Confession.As mentioned, the main center of Roman Catholicism in the North American British colonies was Maryland. In 1632, Charles I granted Cecil Calvert, whose noble title was Lord Baltimore, rights of colonization over a region claimed by Virginia. Calvert was Catholic, and the grant was made by Charles in an attempt to garner Catholic support. Catholics in England wanted a colony where they could live without the restrictions they faced at home. Since it was politically unwise to establish a purely Catholic colony, it was decided Maryland would be a realm of religious freedom.The first settlers arrived in 1634, with only a tenth being Catholic aristocrats. The other nine-tenths were their Protestant servants. Tobacco quickly became the colony's economic mainstay, giving rise to large, prosperous plantations. Maryland was governed by Catholic landowners, but the majority of its residents were Protestants. Whenever the shifting political winds in Britain gave opportunity, Protestants sought to wrest power from the Catholic aristocracy. They succeeded when James II was overthrown. Anglicanism then became the official religion of Maryland and Catholic rights were restricted.Because of the religious liberty practiced as policy in Pennsylvania, a good number of Catholics settled there. Catholicism then made significant gains after the Stuarts were restored to the throne in England. But after the fall of James II, the growth of Catholicism in all thirteen colonies was restricted.The colonies of New York & New Jersey, weren't, at first, religious refuges for any particular group. Pennsylvania was founded as a home for Quakers. But not solely so. William Penn envisioned the colony as a place of religious freedom for all. The same was true for Delaware, which Penn purchased from the Duke of York, and was part of Pennsylvania until 1701.The religious history of New Jersey is complex. East New Jersey leaned toward the strict Puritanism of New England, while the West favored the tolerance of the Quakers. Sadly, many Quakers in New Jersey became a slaveholding aristocracy whose relations with the more traditional abolitionist Quakers of Pennsylvania became strained.What became New York was first colonized by the Dutch, whose East India Company established headquarters in Manhattan, and whose Reformed Church came with them. In 1655, they conquered a rival colony the Swedes founded on the Delaware River, then they were in turn conquered by the British in 1664 in a minor contest. What had been New Netherland became New York. The Dutch who stayed, most of them it turned out, became British; which they happily consented to, since their homeland hadn't given them support. The British replaced the Dutch Reformed Church with the Church of England, whose only members were the governor's party until more British arrived and settled.We end this episode noting religious motivations played an important role in the founding of several of the British colonies in America.  Although at first, some were intolerant of religious diversity, time softened that policy, and the colonies tended to emulate the example of Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, where religious freedom existed from their inception. Such tolerance eased the natural tensions that rival colonies had as they vied for economic prosperity. The colonies also witnessed from afar the religious tensions ripping the mother country apart. That may have moved them to cool their intolerance in favor of a more liberal policy of religious freedom. But other factors were at work that combined to erode the religious fervor of the early settlers of the thirteen colonies. Slavery, the social inequality of a plantation-based economy, the exploitation of Indians and their lands, combined to work against the conscience of the English settlers. They found it difficult to follow the pattern of New Testament Christianity while engaging in practices they knew violated the Spirit of Christ. They entered a phase of national life where a desire for wealth eclipsed the conviction of the Spirit. The result was a spiritual malaise that deadened the religious fervor of the colonies.But as we've seen repeatedly in our study of Church History, a period of spiritual declension either resolves in widespread apostasy or spiritual renewal. What would it be for the British colonies in North America? We find out, in our next episode.A donation of any amount to keep CS up and running is appreciated.
