Mandeville, LA – Mike Church‘s daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the latest [r]epublican news, reading selections and Mike’s take on the the hysterical reactions to “Putin’s aggression” which pale in comparison to our own. Read along with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “A sick society must think much about politics, as a sick man must think much about his digestion; to ignore the subject may be fatal cowardice for one as for the other. But if either comes to regard it as the natural food of the mind – if either forgets that we think of such things only in order to be able to think of something else—then what was undertaken for the sake of health has become itself a new and deadly disease.—C.S. Lewis“ – C.S. Lewis

CPAC: Rand Paul delivers the rehearsal of his 2016 stump speech for the GOP nomination

FLASHBACK: Kevin Gutzman proposed breaking up the states, post Bush v Gore, in 2001 by retelling the story of Virginia’s 1829 Constitution which gave the people of the individual counties the right to divide or “secede” from their current geographic boundaries

Spyin’ Eyes: Edward Snowden demolishes the “he should have gone to his superiors at the NSA if there were concerns” while, predictably, the NSA denies he ever attempted to “whistle blow”. Who do YOU believe?

Ron Paul wonders why, at $17.6 TRILLION in cash debt, ANYONE thinks the United States should “spend” one nickel on the Ukraine when we cannot even “fix” Detroit or Compton or… you get the picture

Putin uses Western media to defend the secession of Crimea from the Ukraine, yes he is an authoritarian, yes he is President of the Big Bad Russian bear but he still write better op-eds than Obama or John McCain

Whose fault was WWII? If you ask any CPAC attendee they will answer “It was our fault because we turned Isolationist and din’t do enough to stop Hitler…then there’s the pacifist Neville Chamberlain…” Well, well class, is that CPAC war-hawk right? Not according the history books as recounted by Patrick J Buchanan. Matter of fact, we are, right now, setting into motion the events that could lead to Russian “aggression” so loudly talked of by some.

CPAC is the annual gathering of “conservatives” who come from all across the amber waves of non-profit grain to hear their favorite politician/speakers, meet and network with other activists in a quest to form a national conservative “message” and this year you can learn how to dig into your opponents deep, dark past and ruin his reputation while taking a tour through the lower class’s neighborhoods to learn how to speak their language and write better welfare policies for them.

My Latest From The Daily Caller-Please visit and share the post to show MSM outlets how popular [r]epublicanism is

At Daily Caller – How the Forgotten Man is the REAL conservative these days. The “conservative” most written about is a member of the Industrial Conservative Complex

My video commentary today focuses on the American media’s obsession with parroting the line that the only sovereign entities that can secede, on EARTH, are the ones the heirs of Lincoln say can secede. Case in point is today’s Crimea. A historically Russian republic, and once sovereign and autonomous. Now that it wants to leave Ukraine and join Russia (remember, we hate Russia) then it must not be allowed at all costs, including President Obama basically threatening to go Ft Sumter on Russia if Crimea “tries to get a away with it”. 

Putin is not on the wrong side of history anymore than JQA or James Monroe were. We forget that the Monroe Doctrine declared the hemisphere we occupy as one free of monarchical aggression

Secede! Professor Donald Livingston continues expounding his brilliant 3 piece essay on the causes and effects of Southern secession in 1861 and wonders whether Otto Bismarck was a German caricature of dishonest Abe Lincoln

THREE AMIGOS UPDATE: Dwayne Stovall nets nearly 11% of TX primary voters (143,000 votes) while Rob Maness continues his Louisiana campaign to unseat Senator Mary Landrieu but how can anyone compete with a U.S. Senator who can shower the state with over $228 MILLION in bailout bribes?

David Weigel at Slate online thinks that CPAC has been taken over by libertarians, apparently not knowing the those folks HAVE a convention every September in DC called LPAC put together by… the Pauls

FLASHBACK INTERVIEW: Christoper Ferrara’s “Liberty The God That Failed” is worth considering for another viewpoint of how the West is now powerless to really assist the Ukrainians because the West is dead, its great religions made inert and now more distrusted than the governments that overtook them

William Graham Sumner was feted by Clyde Wilson and Brion McClanahan as a “Forgotten Conservative” in their book by the same title. Reading his “Forgotten Man” essay from 1883 will explain why. You can find the link to the digital online edition of that book in today’s Prep Better section for Founders Pass members

The works of William Graham Sumner include a brilliant essay titled “The Forgotten Man” published in 1883. You can read the entire collected works under this title here, or find the abridged version with only The Forgotten Man essay in it on this site here

Why is it a bad idea to have a standing army just laying around? CATO, the 18th century Whig, read by most of the Founders, explains as an Englishmen, meaning this school of thought comes from the conservative tradition the Founders inherited and defended

When you hear your “conservative” friends yodel on endlessly about the “Liberal Media” or the corrupt “MSM” as they are convinced this is a recent event, send them here to go read Mark Twain’s speech of 1873 about the “corrupt press”

Here’s an interesting work that I recently discovered “The Crowd” by Guztave Le Bron a fascinating study of how crowds control nations and what nations become control crowds. No, it isn’t a paradox, it is the study of how inertia in public affairs is almost always missing when “change” is lusted for

Albert J Nock’s: Isaiah’s Job (from Tuesday, 4 Feb, 2014 show-Ed.), the story of how the Remant is to be kept animated and active if Man is to survive perdition (our own path to destruction)

Murray Rothbrad delivers a brilliant history of the Progressive movement and the Federal Reserve it created

The Webster Hayne debates over the original intent of the federal union and the constitution got heated into high gear on 26 January, 1830 in the U.S. Senate. read the Webster-Hayne debates

Presenting George Clinton’s “Cato” letter, Number 3, sometimes referred to as AntiFederalist # 14. Cato explains why a large republic will never work and why smaller ones are preferred

This 1860 classic work details the type of manners and etiquette every young man should learn and live his life by. I just started reading the work myself and look forward to sharing much of it here and on-air. “THE GENTLEMEN’S BOOK OF ETIQUETTE, AND MANUAL OF POLITENESS”

“Our Federal Government” by Abel Upshur is an 1833 demolition of Justice Joseph Story’s fabricated history of the United States and her Constitution. WARNING: Reading this will increase your resolve to secede!

The Historical Writings of John Fiske, The American Revolution. If you are prepping for the upcoming pop quiz from my friends at Franklin’s Opus, on Valley Forge, this is a good start

The  counter-argument presented by John taylor of Caroline AFTER the government’s lawyer, Wickham, presented his case for the tax. I did not include this in the Carriage Tax Pamphlet but have found it online. Begin reading on pg 423.

Why does Estonia have a faster internet than Louisiana or South Carolina? Why does nearly ALL the civilized world have faster downloads than the U.S. labors under? because Mordor conspired with multi-BILLION concerns to rig the game and create cartels & monopolies, yet another reason why the American Union must be broken apart into more manageable, much smaller federations 

America-Team NATO-World Police – Obama orders 6 additional F-16 fighter jest to Poland to go and “police” the skies over the Crimea, just in case Vlad the Impaler decides he needs to intervene on behalf of people attached in some form or another to Russia for over 800 years. (I wonder where Putin would get such a dastardly idea!?)

Truth: DeceptiCON War-Hawks want to have the world bow at their feet, 24/7/365 and they tell us this every time they insist that either A: America has done too little to save the planet e.g. Syria or B. America has done something beyond her responsibility but CANNOT be blamed for the awful consequences e.g. 500,000 dead or maimed in Iraq

 

TAC Editorial: Any successful movement needs high culture and art to animate it, give a sense of purpose beyond politics and help inspire its adherents to dream of the beautiful things

 

War-Hawks in the House draft resolution that demands that Vlad the Impaler stop acting like Bush the Compassionate or Obama The Dear Leader. If we change the proper nouns referring to Russia & Crimea (from the AP story), the resolve sounds like what I would expect the rest of the planet to demand of Us. “It calls on The United States to remove “all of its military forces” from the Arabian peninsula, other than those operating in accordance with a treaty on operations of the 6th Fleet. The resolution also calls on President Vladimir Putin to not attend the upcoming G8 summit of industrialized nations in Sochi, and to “consider expelling” The United States from the group “given its international aggression.”

Another call for an Article V amendment Convention that lauds Mark Levin as the modern creator of the idea and its chief theoretical proponent, neglecting Dr. Kevin Gutzman, Prof. Randy Barnett, Bruce Fein and Y/T’s work over the last 4 years

Ubiquitous Media Failure: What happens when one “media critic” tries his hand at being a critic on a subject of American invulnerability – The Ukraine – He winds up illustrating the folly of his own paid existence

It’s all about the SCALE and this author, though a pessimist, nails the point: The HOR is so far out of scale tyranny is all but guaranteed and the only way to bring it back to scale (if that is possible) is to increase the size of the House of Representin’

ObamaCare for me but not for thee!? I thought that the ObamaCare act was so sacred and holy, as written, that Harry Reid threatened to turn off the Sun if Republicans tried to alter it in the slightest? Now here comes Dear Leader himself, changing the implementation plan for policy compliance again by lengthening status-quo to 2 years!

Now let’s browse over to another page on the same site to discover that actors play roles that contradict their own real-life POV. So when Matthew McConaughey praises the grace of God for his success it MUST follow that he has been cast and acted in a role not flattering to our Heavenly Father

Justin Raimondo puts his finger on the real reason that Putiphobia (my term) has possessed the minds of nearly all the usual suspects who just happen to be the same interventionists who assured us that Saddam was Hitler, Assad was Hitler, and now Putin is Hitler.

Dig a little deeper into the Ukrainian “chaos” to discover that the real culprits here are the same culprits in Libya, Syria and Egypt, namely U.S. as the record shows we are actively undermining the legitimate, though corrupt, government of Ukraine.

Now let’s learn a little bit about Ukrainian geography and language distribution which shows a strikingly easy to identify, divided country nearly down the middle.

Dear Leader plays Pot to Vladimir Putin’s Kettle calling the latter black over Russia’s alleged violations of “international law” which the American government  breaks routinely with impugnity

TIC: Finally someone else says what I have concluded over the last 5 years of reading and reflecting and that is the welfare & corporatist states arose because the capitalist system alone cannot fulfill all the needs of a society which is why the reading of the Christian complimentary works of Austrian economist Wilhelm Roepke are vital. Blaming just Franklin DelanObama  and the New Deal is woefully inadequate to illustrate a way out of our current pickle “…the 1950s became more insular (perhaps the word to use is “nuclear”), with an emphasis not on sustaining generational connections and continuities over time but on self-indulgence and individual fulfillment through consumption, with ample doses of sedatives distributed to calm rattled nerves and temper unrealized expectations. The American family, more particularly its middle-class variant, thereby became the apotheosis of secular modernism.”

MISH: If you are still a Monkee, that is “A believer” in the power of the real-estate market’s less than inflation tracking “comeback” the stats on origination and re-finance activity will disavow you of that stillness

Rethinking The American Union Symposium – Allen Mendenhall’s “Secession and Messianic Statism Part II” is the most well thought out, provocative yet motivational from the reclaim liberty and the liberty of the Spirit, I have read since Gildersleeve’s Creed of The Old South. Folks, STOP what you are doing and read this, then read it to your kids, then read it to your grandmother, then print it and slip it in your neighbor’s mailbox. An excerpt “The American Union no longer represents America.  America is dead, and the American Union killed it.  In its place is a consolidated bureaucracy that carries out standardized programs to enforce uniform mediocrity.”

Rethinking the American Union, Symposium, rolls on with Allen Mendenhall’s “Secession and messianic statism Part I” at Nomocracy in politics.

How to Read the Federal Convention of 1787 – Brad Brizer walks students through his 15 year journey of discovery in how best to discover the truth behind the Constitution and the men who crafted it

The Fame of Our Fathers: What makes a famous Founder famous and why are so many, once famous, now not known at all? The answer lies partly in the fickleness of any given age and what it needs to exalt itself, the rest comes from the Founders own pursuit of Fame as I chronicled in Fame of Our Fathers. Here’s an audio sample explaining “conditores imperiorum” and you can buy the 3 CD set there

VIDEO: My latest on Senator Mary Landrieu’s deception and corruption. Trivia: I actually submitted this with the title: Landrieu’s Legacy? Louisiana Addicted To Bailout Crack

LATIN PHRASE OF THE DAY: imprimisque hominis est propria veriinquisitio atque investigatio – the first duty of man is investigating the truth

Slick Hilly plays the Hitler Card, 2016 is officially up for grabs. Clinton describes über male Vlad Putin as the most satanic, evil that has led a nation-state since… I know what you’re thinking…Bubba. No, Slick Hilly had that Adolf Hitler guy in mind proving that our most intrepid hope for 2016 is little more intellectually equipped than the bloggers she helped create at media matters.org

FLASHBACK to “Times That Try Mens Souls”, Mike’s latest feature length docudrama – The Widow Who Saved The Revolution, who was she? the mystery is finally revealed. This woman took the Hessian Colonel Donop into her home of Dec., 23rd and kept him there until December 27th, long enough to prevent him reinforcing Trenton, NJ and squashing Washington’s Crossing Cell Mates Snowden & Clapper!?
