FROM THE "WILD, WILD WEST" DEPARTMENT:Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the ballot in Florida, his campaign announced Friday, after he secured a nomination from the obscure “Reform Party”—as his campaign deploys an aggressive and laborious strategy to secure his place on ballots in all 50 states.The Reform Party, founded by former independent presidential candidate Ross Perot, voted Thursday to officially nominate Kennedy for its ticket in Florida, Kennedy's campaign said.In addition to Florida, Kennedy and his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, will also appear on the ballot in Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, Oklahoma, Texas and Hawaii, his campaign said, adding that it's collected enough signatures to also appear on the ballots in New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, New Jersey and Ohio.While Kennedy hasn't secured ballot access in enough states to secure the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidential election, his presence on the ballot in just one of the six swing states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin) that are expected to decide the 2024 election could be enough to sway the outcome as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are consistently polling within single digits of each other.Without the backing of an official political party, Kennedy is required to petition for ballot access in most states, though he's attempted a workaround in several states by soliciting nominations from lesser-known political parties, including the Natural Law Party of Michigan and the American Independent Party in California.Kennedy's campaign has also filed lawsuits challenging ballot access rules in several states, including Utah and Maine, and his campaign has admittedly delayed filing petitions until the last minute to avoid challenges from the Democratic Party, his campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear told the New York Times.

Today we venture into the heart of Hull, where the seeds of change are being sown by the hands of ordinary people. Gully Bujak, our guest this week, is a force of nature who, since her awakening to the climate crisis in 2018, has channeled her energy into the creation of Cooperation Hull, a beacon of participatory democracy and local empowerment.Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking work of Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi, Gully and her team have set their sights on the city of Hull, a place where political disengagement and socioeconomic challenges have forged a community ripe for change. With the lowest voter turnout in the UK and facing threats from climate change, Hull's residents are finding their voice through the innovative approach of neighborhood assemblies.Gully shares the powerful story of how these assemblies are not just meetings but crucibles of collective wisdom, where residents from all walks of life come together to listen, to speak, and to find common ground. From the facilitation of respectful dialogue to the co-creation of community-driven initiatives, these gatherings are rekindling the art of conversation and the flame of active citizenship.As we listen to Gully's journey from Extinction Rebellion activist to a catalyst for grassroots transformation, we are reminded that the future is not a distant dream but a living reality being woven by the hands of those who dare to act. Cooperation Hull is more than an organization; it's a movement, a call to action for communities everywhere to reclaim their power and shape the world from the ground up.For listeners who feel the pull to be part of this unfolding story, who yearn to see their own neighborhoods awaken to their potential, this episode is an invitation to step into the arena of change. Be inspired by the vision of Cooperation Hull, and consider what it would mean to ignite a similar spark in your corner of the world.Gully's Bio: Gully Bujak is an activist and community organizer who has dedicated her life to the pursuit of a just and sustainable future. From her early days with Extinction Rebellion to her current role at the helm of Cooperation Hull, Gully embodies the spirit of resilience and hope. Her commitment to direct democracy and local empowerment is not only changing the landscape of Hull but also serving as a model for others to follow.For those eager to learn more and to connect with the movement, visit the show notes for links to Cooperation Hull, upcoming assemblies, and resources to fuel your journey into community-led revolution.

A few months ago Ron DeSantis blocked an AP African American course, by stating that they were trying to use Black History to shoe horn in Queer theory. This did not sit right with the African American Community, So Benjimen Crump petitioned a law suit against the Florida board of education. And that they expect removal of all content on critical race theory, black queer studies, intersectionality, and other topics that violate their laws. But then turn around and mandate that Schools are to teach that Slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit. Christopher Columbus discovered North America, he didn't. But for whatever reason he is a pivotal point in American history in reference to discovery of America? Senior Columbus initiated the trans-Atlantic slave trade in early February 1494. He sent thousands of Taino Indians to Spain And for those who were left, well they were given to whoever wanted them. Mind you to do whatever they pleased. This was quoted from Christopher Columbus journals, That the people were so full of love and without greed. these journals, the men would rape the indigenous women to break their will and spirit. But this is not something that was taught in elementary textbooks and probably shouldn't. There is a special kind of delusion here in the United States. This delusion is the denial of the holocaust, some feel that it just didn't happen. Son I've been to a concentration camp in Germany, No bullshit birds won't even fly over that bitch. Kim Daniels theatrically is a black woman but we will call her do do brown. Had the audacity to say out her mouth, and I quote, I thank god for slavery. Then she Goes to say I thank god for the crack house, if it wasn't for the crack house god wouldn't be able to use me like he can use me now, I thank god for slavery because if it wasn't for slavery I'd probably be somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree. vivek Ramaswamy is a republican presidential candidate. This guy is talking about raising the voting age to 25. Trust me when I say I am about to tear this mother fucker apart. But for now I will digress, Then he said that the young would need to pass a civics test in order to vote. Which is an inalienable right as an American once you turned 18. to gain the right to vote without taking a civics test, you have to perform a civic duty by serving in the military, fire department or the local Police department for 6 months. In a podcast he ask are you going to make a contribution this country? Do you actually know something about this country? First of all do you know how many dumb Maga mother fuckers are out there? Those are trumps people, he likes them dumb, because the dumb are easily swayed. Secondly let me ask you this question, what have you done for this country. A common slogan of proponents of lowering the voting age was "old enough to fight, old enough to vote". Determined to get around inaction on the issue, congressional allies included a provision for the 18-year-old vote in a 1970 bill that extended the Voting Rights Act. the Hindustan times” The recent attacks against African students in India have touched off a national debate about a highly sensitive subject. The nation has received a considerable amount of negative media coverage criticizing it as a racially intolerant country. This accusation is supported by the most recent round of reports published by the World Values Survey, an internationally reputable polling organization, which found in 2013 that 43.5% of Indians would not want a neighbor of a different race, putting India second worldwide only to Jordan by that measure of racial intolerance. From immorality to fornication to child sacrifice, aka abortion, politically this is where I country lies. We are in the hands of evil men Red or Blue it doesn't matter.

SUMMARY: Abraham Kuyper once pointed out that “Calvinism is an all-embracing system of principles... It is rooted in a form of religion which was peculiarly its own, and form that specific religious consciousness there was developed first a particular theology, then a special church-order, and then a given form for political and social life.” In this episode we talk with Levi Minderhoud about Christian political involvement and how Abraham Kuyper's thoughts ought to inform our efforts to bring God's principles into political life. GUEST INFORMATION: Levi Minderhoud joined the staff of the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada in June of 2019 as ARPA's first British Columbia Manager. He is dedicated to raising the political activity and knowledge of Reformed Christians in British Columbia, bringing a Christian worldview to members of the British Columbia legislature, and developing public policy from a Christian perspective. Prior to joining ARPA on a full-time basis, Levi already had political and policy experience elsewhere. He has a bachelor's degree from Dordt University in political science, business, and economics and a Master's of Public Policy degree from Simon Fraser University. He interned with a Member of Parliament (the late MP Mark Warawa) and within a federal department (Transport Canada). He also assisted in leading a local ARPA chapter (ARPA Fraser Valley East). Levi and his wife Jillian currently live in Abbotsford, British Columbia. You can find out more about his work at ARPA here: https://arpacanada.ca/ QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ASKS: The church and the state should be separate, so only use logic and natural law when trying to make laws. Christians should not try to legislate morality. It is a fool's errand to try to influence policy and laws when only the gospel will change someone's heart. In other words, if laws and politics can only affect outward behavior, then isn't it better for Christians to focus on the gospel? Abraham Kuyper helped develop the idea of sphere sovereignty. He was a theologian, but at the same time, he founded a political party. One criticism of Kuyper's approach is that the political party that he established did not last (God's promises are to the church, not to political parties). What can we learn from Kuyper's view of Christianity and politics? Does God want Christians to be involved in politics and in making laws? Practically, we go about doing political engagement? How do we tangibly go about the work of rebuilding the foundations RECOMMENDED RESOURCES FOR FURTHER INTEREST: Catechisms The New Reformation Catechism on Human Sexuality - Christopher Gordon The Liberty Catechism - Douglas Wilson Catechism on Government - Toby Sumpter Kuyper Foundation ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: "Music by Kabbalistic Village" and link to my website - kabbalisticvillage.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michael-belch0/support

American political life is defined by what can seem like a paradox. Our society is incredibly politically polarized, but our parties are as weak as they've ever been. How else could a reality TV star have so quickly and completely taken control of one of our major political parties?For Larry Jacobs, a political scientist and professor at the University of Minnesota, the weakness of our parties is a major threat to American democracy. But as he explains in his new book, “Democracy under Fire: Donald Trump and the Breaking of American History,” the roots of this weakness go back all the way to the earliest years of the United States and today manifest in our broken system of presidential primaries. Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Larry about his new book, his diagnosis of what ails American politics and what, if anything, can be done to fix it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

In this Q&A episode, I respond to questions about voting, juries, and other elements of the political process. Tune in to hear how I think we can use parts of the political process, like voting and the justice system, to try to make the world a more anarchist place. I also answer two questions about David Graeber, in anticipation of his new book, The Dawn of Everything, coming out this week!
