What They Aren't Telling You About The Declaration of Independence 

I also wonder how well they understand the Constitution and the background behind its adoption which their oaths of office require them to support and defend. It certainly appears there are several of the first ten amendments they don't have a good handle on.

Oh, they understand it, alright. They actively subvert it. They are authoritarians, and are all initiates of the Lodge. "Those who had been initiated into the Mysteries were behind the governments of the past." 33°MM Manley P. Hall From "What the Ancient Wisdom Expects from its Disciples" "Beneath the broad tide of human history there flows the stealthy undercurrent of the secret societies, which frequently determine in the depths the changes that take place upon the surface." 32°MM Arthur Edward From "New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry"

They know, they understand. They simply don't care because they believe they'll make enough money and attaboys that the One World Government "changes" won't affect them.

Somehow I think that number is closer to 48%...most of them have a 'D' following their name.

I disagree. I think they know exactly what they're doing to our nation, and they're expecting us to let them; the Big Cough of 2020 proved it to them.

Thank you for your service and what you do. I think I might do that in my college town that has a huge VET clinic, and housing if they need it. God Bless you all and stay strong, I believe we're in the worst part before it gets better. We just have to hold on till November 5th. God Bless America and Trump and I hope this really sets up for a better future. FJB 🖕😂

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution were meant to be inseparable, which has been lost over time. The first thing that the new congress did was to make sure every citizen had access to the Bible, which was unheard of at the time, and England only allowed English bibles to be distributed to certain people.

Too bad you're retired. The Country could use a teacher like you today. Sadly, the current union & board of ed probably would ostracize you for not being woke.

An empire that was once a republic, btw.

Or just assign and teach the Federalist and Anti-federalist papers...as should be done already.

Bring back Civics class!!!

A a prerequisite for CV all Congress & police training 😅

Amen

Really this should be taught in all grades with civics and European History

Class of '87! Huraaaaah!

Concurrence from the class of '88.

Same here, class of '89

2011.... #17 is all I knew. I'm ashamed

@@jonathonwood4088 Why would you be ashamed of the school system's failure to teach the basics? People that are able to say, "I don't know" are a LOT less dangerous than those that assume they know all!

The Constitution is supposed to be taught in federally funded schools the week of 17 September.

I agree wholeheartedly! I was publicly educated as well and either I didn't pay attention very well(which is very possible) when they talked about all this, or they didn't teach NEAR what I just learned watching this podcast. Maybe it's that my interest has grown as I've grown up, but I really don't think even half of this content was in our curriculum. My husband concurs(who was publicly educated in a completely different school and county) that maybe(and again, maybe it could be partially because of lack of attention in history class in this particular subject) they just don't teach these things in school. I remember taking notes during this subject and only a few things being given attention and tested on, and almost none of the content I just watched, was included. Or if it was included, it definitely wasn't thoroughly explained in the context it should've been. And because of that, you(figuratively obvi) have a blatant disrespect to the nation and antipatriotism that has become common and socially *expected*, because kids are being grossly uneducated, which then become adults ignorant to their own countries history and how the declaration of independence IS relevant today.

@@mariahminton854 Do you remember which book you were taught American History from? If it was Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States", which is claimed to be (I haven't read it yet, myself) non-objective and biased against the US, then you would come away with a negative impression - if it is indeed what I've heard it is. Zinn's book has been widely used in schools, so there's a good chance you came across it in school. I started kindergarten in 1959 and graduated in 1972, and we did learn what was in this video in our American history classes, starting in grade school. Just ordinary public school. But schooling has changed.

Dear Krista You expressed my feelings perfectly. My wife and I have been married for almost 36 years. No kids yet but will keep trying. God bless you for actually trying to be a good mom. From Iowa...............John

Children always were most intelligent than those publicly educated! This is why they had to have Public schools. They had to take your children and always make it sound like a good thing and make you think they are helping parents. Like, to take the burden off off parents for example. They always make it sound good when they have subtly take away the soul of the country inch by inch. Homeschooling has always produced more stable and intelligent children. (Only when they are God fearing and love their children knowing obligated to teach them the Truth. It was the parents that have already been there, and done that through their own experiences! Who could teach that? We are all individuals. We are never equal in that regard. They do not want intelligent individuals! They can't do the things they do when people are alert, and have experience that no one else could ever teach.

❤

Yes

Very true. Even country music is shit now. They have nothing real to talk about. Tom MacDonald, burden, Adam Calhoun, struggle Jennings are all pretty good.

I mean, it was the same for me during the 80s and 90s, though I did have one social studies teacher that went into far greater detail on certain key points in our history. But that's one of the major problems, not only with public schools, but schools in general. There is only so much information that you can pack into a term, within the allotted time. "They don't teach [this/that/the other] because of their agenda" might be a valid argument in certain cases, but it also fails to recognize that trying to convey everything is nigh impossible. Of course, the other side of that coin is that they absolutely do boil down the DoI to a barely workable statement of "taxation without representation" because of an agenda being pushed, far beyond that of Department of Education. First, the idea that taxation is not only right, it's the duty of every citizen to be taxable. As long as you have representation in the legislative body levying that tax. Which leads to the second point, the idea of instilling absolute trust in representative government. As long as you have representation, well, no reason to revolt. You may not agree with what your government is doing, but you have representation. Trust.

​@@rcslyman8929nuance. A little bit of A and a little bit of B. Varying degrees of each in differing and variable situations/contexts etc. I enjoy listening to relative peers in their field discuss thier concepts. I find it a useful reference to help navigate my ignorance and hopefully remedy it a little. The problem is that most people end up trying to win a debate, rather than engage in conversation and maybe debate the merits. The differing concepts appear to become competitive rather than than complimentary.

You didn’t get as good of a history lesson as you think you did. They were lying to you then just like they are now

​@@MadHeadzOz❤

@@rcslyman8929 why would taxation be acceptable? That is involuntary servitude and theft. A maxim of law says no one can force involuntary servitude on another. I live on the Nation Missouri where the State Declaration of the Bill of Rights (those are there to tell the government what they cannot ever do) says we have the right to the enjoyment of the fruit of our labor making taxing of my paycheck unlawful and violating the public trust that I am a beneficiary of.

So get the Tuttle Twins books

I think the Tuttle twins does the same thing. They are books written for children on this very topic.

Tuttle Twins. Glen Beck's Real History.

❤ same here

Add in books written by Thomas Sowell

so "school teacher" ... ya didn't realize there were no "political parties" till "voted in" to infect our elections till 1890 ... so this vid is 3 "people" talking out there azz ... I'd pull my child out of "your class" ...

It's doesn't matter other than understanding what those people were thinking in that time, but they are still "rulers" by any other name. But I refuse to be ruled over or controlled, don't care if it's George Washington or Donald J Trump, none of them hold any claim over my life or property!! They can make any claims they like, but it will be war before I bow before anyone!!

...nay. Or, "Yea, but not only." Their meaning is logical and timeless, and survives logically, in their modern context.

That sounds alot like Bruen.

As should every text, but we're now being taught in public schools, "tell me what you think they mean in your own words." What we think is totally irrelevant. What the author meant is everything.

@@freespirit5105 keep telling them

You could look to Hillsdale College for free online courses on US Constitution, Declaration of Independence and much more. FREE. I have completed many of them. I'm 76, the courses are well presented, by great professors, work at your own pace.

Well, there are commie narratives to push, so...

A great book about this subject is called lies my teacher taught me

Well said. Brilliant minds, unlike the pea brains today who selfishly seek to dismantle it!

I'm 75 and also learned new things!

A whole month of educating the public on the reasons of the American Revolution & writing of the Declaration of Independence is a fantastic idea!

The public school is for programming and seems to have done and continues to do well . Educating is not really something that happens for everyone when it comes to understanding our own language.. How that effects the understanding of the constitution and bill of rights causes confusion I'm sure . I don't think the public school system did more than want me to memorize when it was written, more than what it even meant or was . We pledged allegiance to a flag . I asked why , I don't remember getting a answer to that or the many other things I had questions about . I all I recall is a sore butt and not much else . I'm surprised I can read . I can not text in this box or write a letter that anybody will understand . So I'm dumb I did not graduate . I'm not very educated . I'm sure back in the past I can not change when the constitution was written and the bill of rights many humans edacation was probably not very equal and the ones who wrote it knew that and did their best to keep it simple and to the point and stand the test of time .. And definitely worth defending . The government reminds me now of a abusive narcissistic relationship that is so hard to escape from , because we need it . We don't need it to abusing us , we don't need it telling us we are the problem . We don't need it to tell us it knows best . I'm not the governments bitch . Sorry I'm tired . Everything in every little corner of my reality is more of what I can not do . I'm a idiot .

Freedom and liberty month - a month dedicated to the sharing and discussion of founding documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as the history and influences leading up to them. I could get behind that. I think July would be a good month, although another month when kids are in school might be better.

​@kevinmiller8265 you are not an idiot. Just because you did not graduate high school does not mean you're dumb. I know

​@kevinmiller8265 you are not an idiot. Just because you did not graduate high school does not mean you're dumb. I know

Have her read the federalist and anti-federalist papers too. There’s some books by “Library of America” that are some really thick primary sources that have a lot of the actual articles and letters and stuff from that day that give a lot more of that context behind those documents and the revolutionary war too.

Skousen's "Making of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution" is a very detailed explanation of the Founding period.

Yes, I've read this book many years ago now. I'm thinking it has been misplaced and should find one to replace it. A very good book on the personalities and times of the founders.

Yep, was not about the amount of taxation at all. Colonist's gladly spent more on for untaxed tea. Was about not having any say in there own affairs ie defense economy etcetera. Why British commoners had little sympathy for colonists. Who they saw as being greedy. Most common Brite had little prospect of becoming land holders, business owners, which colonists appeared to take for granted.

Your comparing 1 hour to 3 months of class. Canadians...............

@@mclt8883 This video they claim that US students are taught the revolution happened over taxation and representation is a almost a footnote. So I was comparing my classroom experience in Canada to the reproted classroom experience in the US. And how my classroom experience more closely matched this 1 hr video.

Sad you spent more time than kids here in the US

That doesn't surprise me .Canada has less reason to misinform about u.s.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. AOC apparently has a degree in economics yet doesn't understand the first concept. I think this would go over her head.

I agree, but what people really need to learn from all of this is, "they" NEVER stopped ruling over us as a people, they just changed the face of it all, and convinced slaves they were free!! Nothing like being free range cattle!

Hillsdale gives free college classes anyone who wants to take it online on their cell phone they go over the whole Constitution and all the Amendments that go along with it

Me too.... graduated 🎓 1971 also Oklahoma 🇺🇲

Accurate...but it was also due to "old money" (government protected money) closing out access to markets...reducing the poor to a feeling of abject hopelessness

As a homeschooling Nana, I so appreciate your hard work in explaining this in such depth! Thank you!
