Today’s show notes are brief as I will let most of this show speak for itself.  While I will talk about “politics” today I won’t tell you what to think or how to vote.  Instead I will talk about the dark reality of America’s past and present, I will tell you some shocking facts about this nation, I will even admit that the views many have about things like the “New World Order” are grounded in a lot of fact in addition to a lot of fiction.

Today my hope is to tell you how we can fix America with the current system we have, why we can count on our fellow Americans and the common values I think we all share regardless of any political affiliation.  In short I will tell you how we can fix America but I will ask you only to liberate yourself and trust that America will know what to do with a new found liberty that will be the result of individual action.

Note - There is a discount in today’s show for the Members Support Brigade.  It is a really big one but you will have to listen to the show to get it.  The discount expires on midnight of the 31st.

Episode-435- The Revolution is You

Episode-435- The Revolution is You [ 54:15 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

We only occasionally dip into politics around here, time to time we focus on economics and that always by the very nature of out current state must include some political components as well.  Some members of the audience want more and some want less and wish we would stick 100% to practical pepping action.

The reality is the two are one in the same!  Make no mistake about it this is a revolution you and I are conducting together.  Today we discuss the multi-planked revolution where “taking this country back” isn’t  just about the next election or political topic “du jour”.  No this revolution is about how we live, how we prepare, how we self educate and above all how we impact those around us simply by living as who and what we are, human with sovereign rights bestowed upon us by our creator.

Today I also introduce our new long awaited custom bumper music, as you might have guessed the title of the song is “The Revolution is You”.  The song was written and performed by Gregg Yows of RevolutionRockAndRoll.com (I am actually a minor co writer as well) .  The final track was mastered by Matthew McCabe at Finley Sound.  Gregg and Matthew are both long time listeners to TSP which means this song is truly a creation of our community, I hope it inspires you to know the power you truly have, indeed YOU are the revolution.

I am also running a special on the Members Brigade that will run until Monday the 17th, you can get your first year of the MSB for only 35 dollars with the discount code “revolution”.

    Episode-411- Rights - Responsibilities and Dependence [ 1:01:19 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

    Today we discuss the myth of the “safety net” that is touted by the media.  In doing so we will come to understand how deep dependence is among both the extremely affluent and extremely poor segments of society.  We will go deeper though and come to understand how the disconnect between rights and responsiblities are the root of the program.

    Join me today as we discuss…

    • Free medical care is not enough – wait till you hear this!
    • Want a free cell phone get on Medicaid, Section 8, etc.  yes it is true
    • What the Medicaid program shows us about what will come from Government Health Care
    • Why in the future the sheeple who resisted the “Public Option” will beg for it
    • People in NYC who use ovens and refrigerators for closets – yes really!
    • The full court media press against “states rights”
    • The lies about states rights and when the Federal Government is required to intervene
    • Why each “right” must come with responsibilities
    • What responsibilities come with the “right to life”
    • What responsibilities come with the “right to liberty”
    • What responsibilities come with the “right to the pursuit of happiness”
    • Why understanding responsibilities and rights leads automatically to preparedness
