Countries around the world depend on China to manufacture their technology. Meanwhile, the Communist Chinese Party utilizes tech to monitor their citizens' every move and thoughts. In this episode, I am joined by Sau O'Fallon, Vice President and co-founder of Asians For Liberty, to talk about life under the rule of the Communist Chinese Party, and also how her organization helps those people, Asians in particular, understand and defend their rights as noted in the United States Constitution.   Also joining me on this episode is Sau's husband Michael O'Fallon. He is the founder of Sovereign Nations, an organization that seeks to inform the public about the causes of things, and to create a space for thoughtful, public discourse. Mr. O'Fallon shares insight into how China became to be the way it is, how dominate Western Governments were the catalyst for this change, and highlights how Big Tech is infringing on our individual sovereignty.

Join us for another episode of Hearts of Oak Podcast, where we're honoured to have the return of Petr Bystron, a Member of the European Parliament representing the Alternative for Germany (AfD), as our guest.  In this insightful conversation, Petr delves into the transformative currents sweeping through European politics, sparked by the AfD's significant electoral achievements.  We'll explore how the AfD's strategic alliances are influencing European policy, the media's portrayal of populist movements, and the party's dedication to tackling critical issues like immigration and national sovereignty head-on. Petr provides a unique perspective on the shifting dynamics within the EU, where traditional political alignments are giving way to a resurgence of nationalist sentiments. Expect a candid discussion that goes beyond the headlines, examining the core values and political philosophies at play in today's Europe. Tune in as we navigate these complex waters with one of the key figures shaping the continent's future. Petr Bystron is the highest-ranking foreign politician of the AfD: He has been Chairman of the AfD in the Foreign Committee of the German Bundestag since 2017. Since 2021 he has been the foreign policy spokesman for his party and its representative in the Council of Europe and the Interparliamentary Union (IPU). He was the first AfD politician to be officially received by an incumbent president (Milos Zeman) and the first European to receive the „Eagle Award “ from the conservative US Phyllis Schlafly Foundation. He was born in the CSSR, from which he fled to Germany at the age of 16, where he received political asylum. Thirty years later, he faced similar persecution in Bavaria: during the 2017 election campaign, he was subjected to an illegal house search and it was announced that he was being monitored by the Bavarian secret service. In addition to these state reprisals, he is always the target of attacks by left-wing extremists. Bystron is actively committed to supporting politically persecuted people. In 2018, with the help of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, he was able to free journalist Billy Six from Venezuelan detention. Petr Bystron is one of the founding members of the AfD. From 2015 to 2017 he was the state leader of the party in Bavaria. He took over the party in a crisis and led it from 3.5% of the vote to the best election result of all western federal states in the 2017 federal election with 12.7%. He founded and headed his party's National Committee for European and Foreign Policy (2013-2015). Bystron studied political science at the University of Politics and the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich and has been working as a journalist for years. His articles on business and politics have been published in renowned daily newspapers and magazines in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. He has won several creative competitions, including an EU essay competition on the future of Europe. His current book 'MEGA – Make Europe Great Again' contains portraits of leading conservative politicians such as Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Penn and Nigel Farage. Petr is married, has two children and has lived in his constituency of Munich North for more than 30 years. He has been an entrepreneur for over thirty years. Connect with Petr and The AfD...

Frank Pavone - There was some controversy to start the olympics this week in Paris, when an opening ceremony scene parodied “The Last Supper” with drag queens. Less than 24 hours after the official video was posted to YouTube, the scene was removed. In the U.S. christians are bracing for the idea of a Kamala Harris presidency. Her views align with leftist and marxist ideals of so called “tolerance”. Mike O'Fallon - “What can be, unburdened by what has been”, a phrase used by democratic nominee Kamala Harris in many if not all her speeches. What does this really mean? Plus, Joe Biden is attempting to establish term limits for the Supreme Court. The Founder of Sovereign Nations joins us to discussSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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

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

In my Sovereign Nations 2024 Forecast, I reflect on the accuracy of my past predictions and issue warnings about imminent challenges. Over the years, I've highlighted the emergence of Critical Race Theory, divisive tactics, and the manipulation of societal structures by global entities such as the World Economic Forum. Looking ahead to 2024, I predict potential compromises in our digital infrastructure, ongoing law enforcement challenges, and intensified efforts to reshape Christianity. My forecast anticipates a push for Balkanization, economic transformation towards scarcity, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Additionally, I emphasize political developments, potential conflicts with China, and the promotion of a digital meta world. I stress the importance of defending the U.S. Constitution and urge vigilance to proactively address these forecasts. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2024 Sovereign Nations.

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

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 13 At the "With Liberty and Justice for All" conference in Clearwater, FL, a thought-provoking panel took place. I was joined by John Connell, Bill Roach, James Lindsay, Jon Benzinger, and Andy Woodard as we delved into an intriguing discussion. Their focus was on understanding the mechanisms behind the rise of reflexive movements within the church, such as the Neo-Marxist Woke Church movement on the fringe left (Marcusians) and the reactionary Christian Nationalism movement on the cringe right (Schmittians). These movements, they argued, possess the ability to gain momentum and insidiously seize control of the church, acting as parasitic forces that disrupt and dismantle previously united groups. In both situations, entryism was the primary strategy employed by both external and internal agitating forces. -Michael O'Fallon https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

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

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 11 In the founding of this nation, deists and Christians came together on one issue in particular: Religious faith is not an issue that the state has any business dictating. I believe that with all my heart. Let me tell you something else I believe – no man or prince or church or any form of centralized power has any business telling anyone what they can and can't believe. Whether deists or Christians, the founders of this nation had the wisdom to put it in writing that the government had to steer clear of telling Christians and/or the church what they can or cannot do or what they can or cannot believe. Unbelievably, there are now those who actually want to establish the United States as a Christian nation with power concentrated in one person. Are you kidding me? Never mind the logistical nightmare with a monster of that size; consider the history of such attempts. I am compelled to ask the Christian nationalists this question: Are you trying to run my life? If so, then back-off and stand down. -Dr. John Connell https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

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

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

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

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

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 5 During the first panel session of the "With Liberty and Justice for All" conference, host Michael O'Fallon was accompanied by a panel composed of James Lindsay, Xi Van Fleet, Lily Tang Williams, Cathy Kiang, Sau O'Fallon, and Mike Zho. The panel engages in a thought-provoking discussion on the American cultural revolution, delving into the parallels between the current state of division, strife, disinformation, collectivization, and provocations experienced by citizens of the United States, and the strategies and methods employed by Mao Zedong over six decades ago in China. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

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

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 3 In this presentation, I intended to provide a brief history of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) launched by China's then dictator Mao Zedong. It was Mao's attempt to seize absolute power and to remake China according to his own image. I tried to provide a sketch of the Cultural Revolution by answering the basic questions of why, what, who and how. I also tried to draw some parallels along the way to what is happening in America today. The Chinese Cultural Revolution was not an isolated historic event. It is important to understand the historic backdrop and important political events that eventually led to the outbreak of this revolution. I covered the Land Reform (1950-1953), the Anti-Rightist Campaign (1956-1957), the Great Leap Forward Campaign, and the Great Famine (1995-1962), all of which will help to make more sense out of the Cultural Revolution. -Xi Van Fleet https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 4 I am Lily Tang Williams. I was born in China to illiterate working-class parents, suffered under Mao's Cultural Revolution and Communist dictatorship. I wanted freedom. America was my promised land. I was 23 when I fled tyranny. Arriving with $100 in my pocket and knowing very little English. I worked hard to make my American dream come true. Today I am happily married with three children, have my own businesses, and live in the Granite State where the spirit of liberty resides. My concern is that my children and grandchildren will not have the same opportunities I had. I see the shadow of authoritarianism cast by politicians who have locked us down, closed small businesses, inflated our money, and mortgaged our children's future. I saw it all before in China: the division of society, silencing dissident voices, taking away parental rights, the indoctrination of youth, endless government mandates and control. People are losing their rights to make a living and make their own life choices. Woke culture and tactics are similar to Mao's cultural revolution I survived. Weaponizing of government agencies to target political opponents remind me of Communist China. Are you worried yet? I am. I fear that the country I love is becoming like the country I left. That is why I am running for Congress. It is time for the majority to speak up and defend our country from the radical left and keep the American Dream alive for our children. -Lily Tang Williams https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 2 In this session from the With Liberty & Justice For All conference, we have the privilege of hearing from Cathy Kiang, co-founder of Asians for Liberty (https://asiansforliberty.org/). Cathy begins by expressing her deep gratitude for the courageous souls dedicated to upholding freedom and truth. She takes us on a journey through her family's remarkable path from poverty in China to realizing the American Dream, all while underscoring the profound importance of cherishing the precious gift of liberty. With genuine concern for the younger generation losing sight of the true value of freedom, Cathy draws poignant parallels between Mao's Cultural Revolution in China and the current ideological shifts taking place within America's education system. She passionately urges us to remain vigilant and unyielding in our commitment to safeguarding the freedoms imperiled by the encroachment of cancel culture, equity agendas, technological intrusion, and other looming threats. Ms. Kiang leaves us with a resounding call to action, emphasizing the vital imperative to defend free speech, equality, cognitive liberty, private property, the right to bear arms, privacy, the free market, travel, and even our dietary choices. She implores each one of us to embark on a journey of self-education, to engage actively within our local communities, and to boldly raise our voices in defense of these fundamental rights. As we do so, she invokes divine blessings upon our collective efforts to preserve the bedrock principles that make America a beacon of liberty for all. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 1 In order to successfully navigate the tumultuous realm of our ever-changing world, one must grasp the underlying causes that drive its chaotic hyperreality. During my introductory address at the With Liberty and Justice for All conference, I delve into the underlying motives behind the manipulation of our civilization over the past decade. In this lecture, I delve into the notion that this problem is not merely an endpoint, but rather the initial stage of a dialectical process that seeks to reshape our world into an algorithmic, authoritarian panopticon. -Michael O'Fallon https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

We find ourselves in a precarious moment in our nation's history, where the flames of division are being deliberately fanned, and the very foundations of our constitutional republic are under threat of being dismantled. If you have been a dedicated follower of my podcasts, you may recall one of my most popular episodes released on November 2nd, 2020, titled The Great Reset (https://sovereignnations.com/2020/11/02/25-the-great-reset/ ). During this episode, I delved into a concept known as "The Big Sort" and its crucial role within the Great Reset agenda. The Great Reset cannot be achieved without the implementation of the Big Sort, which primarily relies on identity politics driven through education and social media to actualize a divide and conquer strategy. The Big Sort acts as the complementary "ying" to The Great Reset's "yang," utilizing identity politics to fragment and weaken the United States of America. Join me in this vitally important podcast that describes the what, how, and why behind the deceptive attempts to Balkanize our nation. -Michael O'Fallon https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

An American investment group is suing the government of Honduras for $11 billion in damages — almost a third of the nation's annual budget — which would most likely bankrupt the country. Olabisi Akinkugbe, a law professor at Dalhousie University, spoke with host Jeff Douglas about how "neo-colonial" investment laws are making situations like this increasingly common.

Hungary's Viktor Orbán is known across the conservative landscape as the model illiberal leader that other aspiring politicians should emulate in the current quest to replace liberty and freedom with strong-armed, right-minded authoritarianism.

The Secret Religions of the West, Session 3 of 3 In the Esoteric Religion known as Hermeticism, there are a number of core principles of operation, perhaps most famously the Principle of Correspondence. It's often worded "As above, so below," but this is only half of the principle. The full expression is "As above, so below; as below, so above," which outlines a snake eating its own tail as a driver of Hermetic alchemical magic. In his third lecture for the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, James Lindsay explains how this principle is a driver of what he calls the "Secret Religions of the West" in an elucidating way. He contends that Karl Marx was the first to realize that the principle of correspondence must be applied from the bottom. Working on the world (as below) to change it (so above), and then the world (as above), changed, will socialize and condition people (so below) to accept the changes and make them "actual." Marx called these two dynamics "praxis" and the "inversion of praxis," but now we can expose them clearly for what they are. Join Lindsay to understand the mechanism behind the activism in many evils, including Marxism, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory and feminism, Modern empire building, and even right-wing reactionary response, which plays its crucial role in this ongoing dynamic of destruction.

The Secret Religions of the West, Session 2 of 3 In his first talk at the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, James Lindsay introduced the idea that there is a long, running current of "Secret Religions" in the West. These are the Modern and Postmodern manifestations of the Esoteric Religions like Gnosticism and Hermeticism as they developed through what we might consider the Middle Age's "New Age" period, famously codified by G.W.F. Hegel. In the second lecture in his "Secret Religions of the West" series, Lindsay explains that these "philosophies," including Marxism, are actually mystical Esoteric cult religions posing as science, economics, and politics, and that their success in infiltrating our religions, societies, and institutions is down to their intrinsically parasitical nature. They mimic and illegitimately claim the language and structure of the things they pretend to be and bring destruction and madness into the void they create. Join him to understand not only this but how the "handshaking" balance between Reason and Faith is the only way to stop Gnosis.

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

The Secret Religions of the West, Session 1 of 3 If you want to impose a totalitarian system, you have a problem on your hands: reality. The real is in your way and will eventually veto your project. Far sooner, people who can perceive reality will step in and prevent you from taking society over a cliff. Therefore, the only way to install a totalitarian system is to negate the real in the minds of those over whom you would rule. This is accomplished by creating an interpretive frame that deliberately causes people to misunderstand reality, sometimes called a "second reality" or "pseudoreality," or even a "hyperreality," which loses all contact with reality through its images and constructions. The totalitarian system "works" and would only work in that false image of reality. In his first talk at the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, James Lindsay presents the idea and mechanism of negating the real to replace it with a hyperreal simulation in which totalitarianism can be accomplished. This, he argues, enables the installation of the Esoteric cult religion needed to advance the tyranny. Join him to understand how the Secret Religions of the West have slowly brought us to the brink of this disaster. Session 2: Coming soon! Session 3: Coming soon!

The Theology of Marxism, Session 3 of 3 In that Marxism is a theology that gives birth to a religion of Communism, it has to also have a process of conversion. That process was not well-developed under Karl Marx, but it grew over the intervening century and a half and came to be known as “conscientization.” As Marxism entered its cultural turn in the 1920s, Theorists like Gyorgy Lukacs recognized that “class consciousness” unfolds in stages and is educable, though the last steps remained elusive and mysterious. By the 1980s, Theorists like Paulo Freire developed the process of conscientization further into a critical and even utopian consciousness that can be used to mobilize converts to transform the world. As we learn from the United Nations and its Agenda 2030, however, the next phase in transformation is to mobilize this utopian consciousness to create a sustained regime branded as a “sustainable and inclusive future.” Thus, they forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals “to transform our world” and are beginning to gear conscientization in that direction. In this session of @SovereignNations 's “The Theology of Marxism” conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2022, Dr. James Lindsay discusses the process of rebirth in the theology of Marxism, “conscientization,” and the next turn of the Leftist Dialectic, “Sustainability.” Session 1: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/ Session 2: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/marxs-ontology-of-man-and-the-telos-of-history/ Get James Lindsay's new book, The Marxification of Education: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Support New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support Follow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe Follow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

The Theology of Marxism, Session 2 of 3 In this session of Sovereign Nations's “The Theology of Marxism” conference, James Lindsay addresses the titular theme of the conference: The Theology of Marxism. For a century and a half, people have failed to recognize Marxism for what it is, a theology. Marx's emphasis on Atheism and strict materialism in all things have obscured from view what Marxism really is. Well, it is not a social theory. It is not an economic theory. It is a theology that sees economic and related social conditions as that which shapes human lives and, if born again into the faith, compels them to seize those means of human production and repurpose them to achieve the Marxian eschatology. That eschatology goes by a few names, but the most identifiable are “Communism,” “Liberation,” and “Social Justice.” Session 1: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/ Session 3: Coming soon!

The Theology of Marxism, Session 1 of 3 Marxism is a theology, and its religion is Communism. That we have failed to understand this fact over the 175 years since Marx wrote the early drafts of what he originally called the Communist Confession of Faith and published in by the title The Communist Manifesto is indisputably one of the most damaging analytical errors in human history, if not the single worst. It's time to set the record straight. Marx laid out an evil theology, and the practice of his religion is a liturgy of death and destruction. To understand the Marxist theology, we have to understand its theological antecedent, which was laid down by the German systematic theologian, speculative idealist, and Hermetic alchemist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. His theology is a dialectical one, the father of what Marx turned into dialectical materialism, and it is the combination of two mystery religions. Hegel, building on Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Father of Leftism), Immanuel Kant, and others dialectically synthesized Hermetic alchemy and Gnosticism, hammered it into a Christianity-based metaphysical framework, and mislabeled it a “system of science.” Thus we arrive at what has been variously called “Scientific Gnosticism,” “Gnosticism in the Modern Era,” and “Dialectical Leftism,” which outlines a broad system of faith in man's necessary role as a transformer of reality into its utopian idealized state at the End of History. In this deep-diving presentation from Sovereign Nations's conference, The Theology of Marxism, New Discourses Founder James Lindsay explains for the first time in decades and in unprecedented clarity how Rousseau and Hegel architected the seeds of a broad Dialectical Faith of Leftism that Marx codified into his own anti-human theology.

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

If you were to think back to 2017, you might remember a United States that seemed very different than the nation that we live in today. Economic stability was becoming a reality after 8 years of socialistic policies of the Obama Administration. The national mood of the United States was on the upswing with hope for a brighter tomorrow. People made plans, were confident in their investments and trusted their healthcare officials. But all throughout 2017 and 2018 there was a boiling of issues that were just underneath the surface: -Critical Race Theory was being taught in our schools, churches, and corporate class -A strong anti-American sentiment was consistent in our media and entertainment -Our global system was moving in a collective direction -The World Economic Forum was pushing a neo-fascist strategy for the planet -Soros and others were manipulating our judicial system -Our financials systems were heading towards paradigm shifts towards ESG governance -China was digitally colonizing Asia, Africa and portions of Europe and South America On October 31st, 2017, Sovereign Nations began our mission to provide the answers to what would be coming to our nation and world in the years to come. From alerting the nation about the coming threat of CRT, to providing the first warnings about a “Great Reset” and “Big Sort”, Sovereign Nations has consistently led the way in providing warnings to the public about the shape of things to come and how to halt the progress of enviro-communo-fascism. Sovereign Nations was started because no one else would discuss these issues.

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

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

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

Mere Simulacrity, Session 8 Many men and women around the world are becoming familiar with the schemes and strategies of the World Economic Forum to disrupt and dismantle our current systems and ways of life and replace them with the enviro--communo-fascist concepts of Klaus Schwab and the world's Theosophically-minded elites. And while the function of the World Economic Forum's modus operandi is properly described as a two-legged stool: a public-private partnership that is attempting to leverage the corporate and financial giants of the world with the governmental leaders of their own making to usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But a two-legged stool cannot stand on its own. A two-legged stool will ultimately fall. To properly support the weight of complete societal and systemic change, faith must be introduced as the third leg of the completed World Economic Forum stool. And so, faith leaders of the world have been incentivized to participate in helping to create a critical consciousness within the minds of their faithful flocks. Roman Catholic Integralists have led the way to creating the three-part faith-infused process of governance in the 20th and 21st centuries. Dom Helder Camara, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Recife, Brazil introduced the mechanisms of integralism in the early 1970s and as well influenced the Catholic Church's current Pontifex Maximus, Pope Francis. This “Catholic-Fascistic-Totalitarianism” has manifested itself in movements that have taken the Protestant Church by storm over the last year. From Rick Warren to Richard Land to Pope Francis, thousands of faith leaders have capitulated to the seemingly inevitable dialectical spiral into digital totalitarianism and Hermetic/Gnostic dreams of Alice Bailey and the Theosophists.

Mere Simulacrity, Session 7 After enduring 10 years of Evangelical Elites badgering the faithful with social justice struggle sessions, the same Evangelical Elites are now rolling out authoritarianism in a new, seemingly conservative form of neo-reactionary authoritarianism. Everything must change: constitutional liberties, national unity and even worshipping freely as your conscious dictates. What is behind this idea that was originally birthed years ago as trap for faithful conservatives and who is driving the movement? What other forces outside of Christianity are influencing the narratives of “Christian Nationalism” and conservatism alike?

Mere Simulacrity, Session 6 My talk at Mere Simulacrity was an attempt to provide a unified theory of postmodernism in the culture. What I wanted to do was to show how the yeast of postmodern philosophy had worked its way through the bread of wester culture and transformed it. We can't step back from postmodernism, and it cannot be avoided; we need to get through it.

Mere Simulacrity, Session 5 In his first talk at the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, Dr. James Lindsay introduced the idea that there is a long, running current of "Secret Religions" in the West. These are the Modern and Postmodern manifestations of the Esoteric Religions like Gnosticism and Hermeticism as they developed through what we might consider the Middle Age's "New Age" period, famously codified by G.W.F. Hegel. In the second lecture in his "Secret Religions of the West" series, Dr. Lindsay explains that these "philosophies," including Marxism, are actually mystical Esoteric cult religions posing as science, economics, and politics, and that their success in infiltrating our religions, societies, and institutions is down to their intrinsically parasitical nature. They mimic and illegitimately claim the language and structure of the things they pretend to be and bring destruction and madness into the void they create. Join him to understand not only this but how the "handshaking" balance between Reason and Faith is the only way to stop Gnosis. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

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

Mere Simulacrity, Session 3 For decades, the evangelical church has seen an infusion of business philosophies and practices into the church. Now, in coordinated effort with the World Economic Forum Agenda 2030, business leaders are seeking to integrate distinctly religious terms and ideas into their practices. Though not referring to it by name, the post-millennial eschatological framework provides the foundation for their globalist, utopian vision. Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Investments, is our case study and exhibit A, in this talk by Andy Woodard. Cathie has elsewhere stated that the kingdom of God is coming in 2030, and it will come through disruptive innovation. One specific example is that of DNA sequencing and mapping the human genome. The aim is to eradicate disease through developing the ability to edit human DNA. While dramatically expanded artificial intelligence, self-driving vehicles, DNA editing, and robotics that combine all of these might sound like the kingdom of God to the idealist they sound more like a dystopian, Left Behind, horror movie to the realist. When these “disruptive innovations” are cloaked in the garb of Jesus, you have the subject which is exposed in this talk by Andy Woodard, given at the Sovereign Nations, Mere Simulacrity Conference held in Phoenix in December 2022. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

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

In a word, the World Economic Forum promotes "globalism." But what does that actually mean? And what are its ideological roots? Michael O'Fallon of Sovereign Nations joins Charlie to explain how Klaus Schwab and the WEF of today are the heirs of ancient gnosticism, and to warn about its efforts to co-opt Christian churches and other religions to accept and promote its agenda.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charlie joins Dr. James Lindsay and Dr. Michael O'Fallon LIVE in Phoenix for their Sovereign Nations event for an in depth analysis of how Democrats and the left more broadly have used lexicon games to bend, contort, stretch and contract the meanings of words that Americans have long used to describe their system of governance to benefit themselves. So what do you do when you run the better candidate, conduct the better campaign and still lose? Charlie, Dr. O'Fallon, and Dr. Lindsay explain their word games and blurring the real world of distinctions.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
