OZFest Sunday Nights Radio: What Type of Republic

Democracy or republic, and what type of republic? We are not Roman Empire 2.0, but there have movements to mold us into something different. Woodrow Wilson started, will we recall what type of republic we were meant to be? Technocrats will command at all costs.

There are threads that reach across the years which we ignore. The ideas that swing the gate shut on our freedom seemingly spring into our amidst and ensnare us instantly, but once we examine some of the people involved, we see that the themes that drive their plans span decades. What we don’t recognize is that this playbook is the same in many cases, with different presenters and perhaps different analogies to help sell a solution we have rejected in many other instances. Your job, if you want to retain your agency and sovereignty, is to recognize when that is happening TODAY. That doesn’t mean being mired in the past but it does entail knowing some of the players and asking if there are analogies to proposals that were abhorrent years ago that seem to have a flimsy disguise today.

On this episode of Sunday Nights Radio we return to many of those themes as a new player has entered the stage who is perhaps far more convincing than a Henry Kissinger, Brzezinski or other policy wonks. Bunker Hill, history of centralized control, a country that went through that process of being given a choice from an expert, and of course music.

The idea that consensus is at the heart of Natural Law and is what lead to the creation of our Constitution is not the entire story. At many points during our history, the Founding Fathers would vehemently oppose ideals that suborned liberty for convenience.
