The Teacher of Liberty Podcast teacherofliberty

Shall we hang together or shall we all hang separately? You won't want to miss this episode.

There is no way we recover our liberty if we do not learn its value. And there is no way we learn its value unless we read those books where that value is revealed. We have allowed the tyrants to control what we learn and they have substituting salt for sugar in the recipe and we've just come to tolerate the taste. We aren't educated anymore. We're merely moved through a system that serves to teach us unquestioning obedience to strangers. Unfortunately, when it comes to school, our parents reward us for obeying the strangers and the strangers get paid according to their willingness to use salt instead of sugar in the recipe known as curriculum. We cannot be free if we follow this recipe. We will all welcome children into a land increasingly wicked and increasingly tyrannical until we decide to do the hard things that are required of those who would enjoy so "celestial an article" as liberty. I've done my best to select writings from the authors most often quoted by our Founding Fathers. You can get my book before such things are no longer allowed for sale. Tyrants will not allow us to continue teaching things that, if read and understood, would topple them. This is the work to which I've devoted my life. I know without doubt these authors taught our Founding Fathers the value of liberty and how to detect despots and how to rid your society of them. We can read these books and learn likewise. That's the entire purpose of this book: The Founders Recipe. You can get it on Amazon or Barnesandnoble.com. I make next to nothing from the sale of these books, but I didn't write the book to get rich, I wrote the book to get rid of tyrants. https://a.co/d/20emVfF

The Battle of Marathon is the reason you speak English, have representative government, and are free to worship according to the dictates of your own conscience. You owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Callimachus, Miltiades, and the rest of the unnamed Athenian soldiers who bravely stood in defense of their (and YOUR) life, liberty, and property. That small stretch of beach is a tiny hinge upon which the whole of history swung and it swung in our favor FOR SURE! #battleofmarathon #history #ancientgreece #ancienthistory #joewolverton #teacherofliberty #marathon #persia #persianwars #darius #callimachus #athens #greece #tyranny #truehistory #miltiades #sparta #immortals #battles #pivotal

Demosthenes: a young man that would not shut up and sit down. He was not about to let a weak voice and a stammer keep him from rousing his spirit and raising his voice in defense of the liberty of his country. This guy is one of my favorites. Cicero makes you want to applaud, Demosthenes makes you want to grab a sword! A lot of y'all ain't gonna like this one very much, but it's my podcast and I'm fixing to call 'em like I see 'em. And I won't be apologizing, so don't come at me. Demosthenes was 33 when he delivered these speeches and they are STRAIGHT FIRE! I wish these things weren't so applicable to our time. We have got to stop waiting for "the right time." This is the right time and we need to start taking our liberty seriously enough to defend it. You can vote yourself into tyranny, but you have to fight yourself out. Remember, try and think what is something about modern-day tyrants that makes them powerful, but at the same time makes them vulnerable? Demosthenes says that is one key to planning how to defeat them. #demosthenes #athens #ancientgreece #ancientathens #philipofmacedon #philippics #foundingfathers #alexanderthegreat philipthegreat #war #greek #ancientgreek #isocrates #joewolverton #teacherofliberty #podcast #worldhistory #classicaleducation

On this day in 1774, the First Continental Parliament met in Philadelphia. NO, IT DIDN'T! But do you know WHY it's called "congress" and not "parliament?" You're fixing to find out! Emmerich de Vattel's Law of Nations was carried around by every member of the Continental Congress, according to Benjamin Franklin. Why? Why would guys from one nation need a book about international law? Hmmmm. What does Emmerich de Vattel have to do with calling it Congress and not Parliament? EVERYTHING! Perhaps more than any episode to date, today's episode will make it VERY CLEAR why the things that I teach -- things like Emmerich de Vattel's book Law of Nations -- are NEVER taught in school anymore. These rules and these guidelines, if they were never taken from us ON PURPOSE by men conspiring to deprive of us of our liberty, could have prevented so much poverty, so much war, so much division, and so much debt. IF. Well, it's time we take back our education so we can take back our liberty! This story is one of those that has the potential to change the malfunctioning of our governments in ONE GENERATION! If we teach this story and its implications to our children, then they will know, just as our Founding Fathers knew, the value of liberty, the value of words, and the necessity of using the right word at the right time in the right way. We can do this, guys. #joewolverton #teacherofliberty #devattel #emmerich #emerdevattel #lawofnations #foundingfathers #history #congress #firstcontinentalcongress #otd #continentalcongress #truehistory #warforindependence #revolutionarywar #declarationofindependence #edmundburke #burke #bristol #parliament #law #contractlaw #fourcorners #principalagency #constitution #construction #education #ushistory #americanhistory
