Samuel Adams - The Anti-Federalists Got It Right Tom Niewulis

See the link for the video of ‘Snarky Sam Adams’ at Rumble or YouTube

Snarky Sam Adams was a master of language. Sam could be sharply critical by cutting deep into the psyche of his enemies with truth. During the 1700’s, sharp language was used in satire as well as directly attacking a person, all respectfully of course. This is important as I want to talk about hope to those who were taken aback with my program last week.

The hope is in that I wanted you to think with a solid footing as well as through a difficult alternative perspective as to why we are seeing evil predominate at all levels of government, which includes the family and church. I want to challenge your evangelical presuppositions in politics, family, church as well as work/business which is warped by unitarianism and evangelicalism that has succumbed to pansy-ism, I mean polytheistic pandering to pluralism/humanism.

I have proven this pluralistic polytheism in discussing the false concept of Congress being Christian in the several programs where I covered the topic last month, here and here.

When, last week, I introduced you to the facts that many of those called Founders were unitarians, I must remind you that Sam Adams was a strong trinitarian, Reformed Calvinist. So much so that he lived his Calvinism in a true covenantal manner regarding family, work and his activities in the political sphere. To which then he received the moniker ‘The Last Puritan.’ And the historical facts are that those who landed on American shores, especially in the northern colonies were Reformed Calvinist Christians.

This is quantified by Gary Scott Smith in his book ‘God and Politics: Four Views on the Reformation of Civil Government‘ by writing,

Reformed theology was carried to the shores of America by English Puritans in the 1620s. From the founding of Plymouth to the American Revolution, about 80 percent of the colonists were adherents of Reformed theology who belonged to various denominations: Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Baptist, Dutch Reformed, German Reformed, and other smaller Calvinistic Communions.

The major mischief that the vast majority modern, 19th and 20th century, denomination have caused is compromising with humanism. Better called the American Enlightenment. The entanglements of an Enlightenment world view opens personal and political polity to humanistic pluralism which was the repeated downfall of Israel. This is a most defining perspective by Gary North in Political Polytheism:

One reason why the Israelites failed to pursue a systematic program of world evangelism is because God’s program required covenantal faithfulness, manifested in public justice and personal dealings – relationships governed by God’s law and enforced covenantally: family, Church, and State. This program of world evangelism required the Israelites to obey God’s civil laws both at home and abroad. Their failure to obey at home led to their failure to bring the message of spiritual deliverance to the world. Instead, they were repeatedly delivered by God into the world, as foreign invaders captured the reigns of power inside the nation, or else captured the people and sent them into slavery abroad.

It is my contention that the failure of worldwide Christian evangelism today is to a large degree the result of a similar failure of God’s people to proclaim and pursue covenantal civil standards for ...

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)

A Question of Sovereignty

As I often do,

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 ...

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.

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...

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.
