    Episode 442: Crushed My Presuppositions

    See the link for the video of ‘Crushed My Presuppositions – Shattered’ at Rumble or YouTube

    This weeks program preparations crushed my presuppositions about the foundations of the Constitution. Have you ever had your presuppositions crushed – shattered? Did you ever, over time, think that ‘something is wrong in the State of Denmark?’ You know, you have had the inkling1 in the back of your mind, ‘there is more going on than what I’m seeing or reading on the surface of it all?’

    Make sure you check the References and This Weeks Articles

    I know my critics will be all over me on this. Let me put it to you this way. The Constitution is the most unique form of covenantal government devised by men. It is the law of the land. With the original Ten Amendments it is the most functional system that should be able to maintain the liberties of those compacted to it. It should keep private property in the hands of legal citizens. I should function within its boundaries.

    Yet, we see a completely different resultant in function and outcomes. Yes, the Anti-federalist argued that there would be national encroachments upon the States and therefore upon the individual Citizen of the States, right into your bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and even bathroom.

    These functions and outcomes is what I am addressing. I am taking a new position that differentiates between human culture and a governing political2 state. To which this study crushed my presupposition of the Constitution having a Biblical Christian foundation.

    What Is Said Is Not Meant By the Sayer

    Ponder this quote as we then consider A question of Sovereignty.

    As has been noted, many men use words which to others imply a religious view not held by the speaker or writer without an awareness either of the divergence of meaning or the mixed presuppositions. Witness, for example, Rev. John Witherspoon (1722–1794), Presbyterian leader who in 1768 assumed the presidency of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). Witherspoon taught many who later played an active role in American life. His own belief in sound money, mixed government and a division of powers was pronounced. An orthodox Calvinist, Witherspoon, without any sense of contradiction, also followed the philosophy of Thomas Reid34 (1710–1796), Scottish realism, using this questionable tool against Hume, Deism and French philosophers. In his Lectures on Moral Philosophy, he spoke the language of rights and reason, combining with this man-centered emphasis his own theocentric faith.

    R. J. Rushdoony (1964)

    In my crushed presuppositions, I delve into the study of a question I often ask on the program: Who is the Sovereign? With that I will always point out that all and every form of government and governance is religious and theological. Which asks the next question: Which religion and theology? 

    Remember that I did a program on Madison purposefully attacked Christian Biblical principles in government, especially covenantal government. (See Episode 393: Madison – The Original Anti-Christian Nationalist)

    Episode 441: Treachery in Treaties – Better To Liken To Jehoshaphat

    Episode 441: Treachery in Treaties – Better To Liken To Jehoshaphat

    See the link for the video of ‘Treachery in Treaties – Better To Liken To Jehoshaphat’ at Rumble or YouTube

    Treachery in Treaties is evidenced in reading through the State Departments ‘Treaties In Force.’ Just consider the ‘2021 – 2023 — SUPPLEMENT,’ which is made up of 86 pages of treaties and agreements either renewed or new. Not withstanding the 570 pages of the first document.

    This week I don’t have the time to write a long posting so you are going to have to listen or watch the program to get the full content.

    Why are the links in the intro paragraph important?

    Because, they are the law of the land. You scream… WHAT? Obviously you do not understand the Federal Constitution and its effects fully enforced. Yes, Here you will see treachery in treaties being set up.

    Article 6, Clause 2 – The Founders Constitution

    This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

    Now, the ‘Treaties In Force’ do not include all the United Nations (UN) treaties and agreements wrapped into one larger agreement, and there are other specific UN treaties we are subjects to. Yes, I use subjects as in Webster’s dictionary definition:

    Noun: One that owes allegiance to a sovereign and is governed by his laws.

    Verb: To bring under the power or dominion of.

    Therefore, The shoe fits according to Article 6, Clause 2 … these treaties are ‘supreme law of the land’ and we are subject to them through ‘the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.’ I have much more to say on this on the podcast.

    For that, the reference is Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 3:§§ 1831–33, 1835–36

    Do ponder on the use of ‘notwithstanding’ as used here and the Webster 1828 definition.

    Anti-federalists response to Art. 6, Sec 2: Federal Farmer, no. 4

    George Mason, Virginia Ratifying Convention

    St. George Tucker, Blackstone’s Commentaries 1:App. 369–70

    It may seem very extraordinary, that a people jealous of their liberty, and not insensible of the allurements of power, should have entrusted the federal government with such extensive authority as this article conveys: controlling not only the acts of their ordinary legislatures, but their very constitutions, also.

    CONSPIRACY IN PHILADELPHIA

    I came across a very interesting book written in 2004 by Dr. Gary North ‘Conspiracy In Philadelphia.’ He explains that: ‘This book is an update of Part 3 of Political Polytheism: The Myth of Neutrality (Tyler, Texas: Institute for Christian Economics, 1989).’ My purpose in bringing this to you is that I have been on the track of ...

    Episode 439:Covenanted Of and With Hell

    Episode 439:Covenanted Of and With Hell

    See the link for the video of ‘Covenanted Of and With Hell’ at Rumble or YouTube

    We have tens of millions who are employed by the Federal and States governments that have made a Covenant Of and With Hell.

    How can I make such a sharp and accusatory statement? The law for all federal employees requires an ‘oath’ according to 5 U.S. Code § 3331 – Oath of office. Not only that, every State has similar requirements for any government job or appointments. This is fact that individuals are calling upon their ‘god’ to affirm their ethical commitment to the execution of their duties.

    You are whining, ‘Come on Tom, that is ridiculous about what an oath is or means. It is all just words.’ My retort: ‘Is it? Is an oath not a covenantal action?’

    Here is 5 U.S. Code § 3331 – Oath of office

    An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

    Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines an oath as:

    A solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath implies that the person imprecates1 his vengeance and renounces his favor if the declaration is false, or if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he should fail to fulfill it. A false oath is called perjury.

    Who of you that have government employment or appointments of any nature understand the context of the oath you took as defined by Webster’s dictionary? Better yet, who is the god that you declared your oath to? To what god do you execute your duty with the full intent of fulfilling your oath?

    As I’ve discussed in last months programing, all forms of governance, at every level, are based on religion. That of your personal religion but more so, that of the entity that you are governing within. Governance is a moral exercise of the belief system one is associated with.

    In all cases, an oath is Covenantal. Therefore, those who adhere to their role in any public employment position, who have taken an oath in accepting that position, have in our modern systems Covenanted Of and With Hell.

    More Than Opening Comments

    When it comes to governance, a Constitution is Covenantal. Just a snippet on this from my book:

    Covenant for our Founders had that critical perspective of how government worked, as covenant is the outline from God’s perspective for good governance beginning with self-governance.

    What about covenant in general and its significance in any relationship whether it is God with man or mankind with mankind? Historically, Meredith Kline researched and noted that covenants go back to the ancient pagan world’s where special documents that are known as the suzerain (king-vassal) treaties exist. He further describes covenant like this:

    “First, however, notice must be taken of a feature which law and promise covenants have in common but which, nevertheless, being more closely analyzed, serves to distinguish clearly between the two.

    Episode 438: Mercy, Lawfare and Discouragements – It’s On You To Do

    Episode 438: Mercy, Lawfare and Discouragements – It’s On You To Do

    See the link for the video of ‘Mercy, Lawfare and Discouragements’ at Rumble or YouTube

    This weeks program ‘Mercy, Lawfare and Discouragements’ is straight out of the predictive works of Mercy Otis Warren and the sharp arguments during the 1760’s of Samuel Adams.

    Mercy is predictive of our present in her work ‘Observations on the New Constitution By a Columbian Patriot,’ 1788. I will highlight the fundamentals that are distinctives of liberty, slavery, tyranny and despotism brought on by a Centralized government allowed for in the framework of the Constitution. Mercy lays it out plainly in this Anti-federalist pamphlet.

    Sam Adams being an older contemporary of Mercy, grinds into preventative policy to advert the lawfare of 1764 as well as the discouragements to commerce, liberty, property and civil society in the Letter of Instruction to those elected to the Massachusetts Colonial House of Representatives.

    History No Longer

    History no longer holds any significance in ensuring that enshrined principles of governing humanity in a republic matter. In fact, as clearly pointed out in my programs over the last month, political and economic theology are rooted in the humanism of the last one-hundred years. Even more so now, the ‘progressives’ not only desire but are fully wiping fundamental history, virtue, morals and principles out of the common mechanisms of education, business, government and yes, even religion.

    The Following is a direct quote from the Preface of ‘The Biblical Structure of History’ by Gary North, pages xii and xiii.

    C. Gregg ‘Singer’s essay was titled “The Problem of Historical Interpretation.” He began his essay with this paragraph:

    Some five years ago at an annual meeting of the American Historical Association the writer had the occasion to meet informally with a group of the more famous historians in attendance at that conference. The subject under discussion was the meaning and purpose of history. These half-dozen scholars were of the opinion that history lacks any decisive meaning and any discernible purpose. The writer then posed to this group of distinguished scholars one question: If this be the case, then why do we teach history? The scholars looked at him with surprise and even disgust, but no answer was forthcoming from any of them. The group broke up as each went to his own particular luncheon group and discussion of various phases of a subject which they could not really justify as part of a college curriculum and yet which they continue to teach as if the knowledge of it had some inherent value.

    In the second paragraph, he drew a conclusion regarding the world of humanist academia:

    This incident is by no means unique. The professional historians in this country and in Europe have come to the place where they have little faith in the subject to which they have devoted their lives. Historians with increasing and distressing frequency are openly admitting that history has no meaning and shows little or no purpose or goals. But neither is this anti-intellectual attitude peculiar to the professional historians. The existentialist and positive philosophies have entered into the thinking of most areas of human thought and activity with devastating results. In conjunction with the Freudian school in psychology, they have made irrationalism and anti-intellectualism fashionable and have virtually removed the concepts of purpose and meaning from the thinking of many historians and those who proclaim themselves to be “social sci...

    Episode 437: Theology Matters – Sodom 2.0

    Episode 437: Theology Matters – Sodom 2.0

    See the link for the video of ‘Theology Matters – Sodom 2.0’ at Rumble or YouTube

    It is without any doubt and obvious to any person with good reasoning that theology matters in all things, especially governance. Two weeks ago I posited

    the concept of a Christian Nationalist Congress. With the fact that Congress is made up of so many Christians, they should be governing as principled moral persons in a Christian Republic. Well, based on analyzing their theologies, I should say the theologies and teachings of their pastors, Congress is governing according to their corrupt and heretical Sadducee like perverse theologies.

    Contrasting the o’Biden Declaration of this past Easter with the Founding Presidents and early states governors, one can find, with simple search engine quarries, that previous Presidents from the foundation of the Republic, made declarations of prayer, fasting, thanksgiving and humiliation a respected and dutiful occasion. Yes, o’Biden’s theology prompted his March 31st 2024 declaration.

    More Than Opening Comments

    Now, As noted two weeks ago, expounded in this weeks programs first segment, I will give a more clear picture as to why Congress is all over the map in policy and law, not just in economics but in every other aspect of what it has assumed control over.

    Let me begin with the foundational truth that the Federal government by acts of Congress have become what Hamilton and other deep rooted Federalists dreamed of, a Consolidated national government. To repeat, The Anti-federalists warned of this.

    Why is this topic important? Simple, the media, liberal pastors, academics and political leaders have now become the spiritual leaders declaring what is scripturally correct. Just to get a quick perspective, see the opening to Bannons War Room Episode 3506: The Lefts Expunging Of Whiteness Out Of The Evangelical Movement. This is just the tip of the many icebergs colliding in the sea of confusion and demagoguery established by these decedents of self-aggrandized demigods. Hmmm, I guess the genetics of the Naphalim are those on main stream media and more.

    BTW, I am going to give you an update about the this programing in the second segment.

    The Majority in Congress Are Christian Religion Nationalists?

    These considerations show, that the scriptures support, confirm, and corroborate, but do not supercede the operations of reason and the moral sense. The information with regard to our duties and obligations, drawn from these different sources, ought not to run in unconnected and diminished channels: it should flow in one united stream, which, by its combined force and just direction, will impel us uniformly and effectually towards our greatest good. – Page 387 of the Collected Works of James Wilson

    Who was James Wilson? In the Collected Forward, Maynard Garrison writes:

    The path of Wilson’s life, career, and political thought are detailed in Kermit Hall’s introduction. As Hall makes clear, Wilson was at the front rank of the founders. He was also in touch with the future. “By adopting this system,” Wilson explained in 1787, “we shall probably lay a foundation for erecting temples of liberty, in every part of the earth.” He went on to insist that “[t]he advantages resulting from this system will not be confined to the United States; it will draw from Europe many worthy characters, who pant for the enjoyment of freedom.

    Episode 436 – Speaker Johnson’s Failures Leading To Complete Economic Thralldom – Herding The CIN

    Episode 436 – Speaker Johnson’s Failures Leading To Complete Economic Thralldom – Herding The CIN

    See the link for the video of ‘Speaker Johnson’s Failures Leading To Complete Economic Thralldom – Herding The CIN’ at Rumble or YouTube

    Last weeks program is missing since I had a lot of study to prepare for this weeks ‘Speaker Johnson’s Failures Leading To Complete Economic Thralldom – Herding The CIN.’ Johnson is Herding the CIN problem in the House of Representatives. More on CIN in ‘The Rest of The Story Section.’ The reality is that his failures have begun at the pulpit of every Congressional Member ‘identifying’ as Christian. According to the referenced #3 Pew Report, we have a great majority which have ‘identified’ as a Christian Congress. Does this mean we have Christian Nationalism?

    I take the position of failure for Speaker Johnson in that the economic policies as well as the majority of legislation being brought forward for passage in the House, is not in alignment with his adult life efforts at the Alliance Defending Freedom, nor his time with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. He is not alone in these failures of policy and law. There are many particular failures stampeding the Citizenry into economic thralldom. These failures also extend to the numerous Protestants and few Catholics in Congress, who but for a few, ‘identify’ with a god/religion contrary to Foundational Christianity. Therefore, they act and vote according to the theology of that or those contrarian god(s). Along with these National Congressional Christians, don’t forget the multitudes of bureaucrats across all levels of governance who ‘identify’ as Christian but bow to another by doing the bidding of that god – the state.

    Down the Rabbit Hole

    Regarding the topics of Economic Thralldom, Economic Theology and Congress Members ‘identifying’ as Christian is a major rabbit hole, or I should say black hole, that I can easily run us all deeply down into. Additionally in the Reference section, there is a lot of information as to what real and meaningful legislation or resolutions Speaker Johnson sponsored – Well, not so meaningful, just typical for the Establishment feel good or tweaking law type stuff. Again, you can go to the references to see what he sponsored, co-sponsored and how he voted during his time in Congress.

    All I can asses respecting Speaker Johnson’s failures and the 118th Congress is that we have and can expect ‘more of the same road apples in the parade with no shovels and buckets that followup on the droppings.’ Imagine that marching band, never breaking formation having to follow on.

    The following quote I am presenting next is not out of place for this week. When you really have a complete understanding of the full content of this posting: That of the Majority of Members in Congress being Christian.

    Sam Adams wrote:

    This was the dire effect of their foolish adulation of their Governor, while they professed to observe a day set apart in honor to the King of kings. – Their thanksgiving began with prophaness & ended in idolatry; or rather it began & ended with both. There is no question but the priests were the vicegerents of the Governor, or his heralds to publish his impious proclamations to the people. But is it not strange that the people were so king-ridden and priest-ridden, especially in matters which concern’d their Religion, as to look upon the joint authority of their Governor and Clergy, sufficient to justify them in sinning against the authority of God himself: and in acting in...
