Make America STATES Again!Book this TopicFor far too long, the federal government has expanded its grasp, encroaching upon the powers and prerogatives reserved to the states and the people. This centralization of authority is not only a betrayal of the constitutional system our Founders crafted, but a clear and present danger to the liberties we hold dear. The solution to this overreach does not lie in hoping for a shift in Washington, D.C., but rather in the states, the originally intended guardians of sovereignty. As James Madison wisely counseled, the states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil” of any unconstitutional acts of the federal government.
The Make America STATES Again action project is designed to inspire, educate, and mobilize patriots across the country to restore the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Here, you will find the resources needed to engage in this vital effort — whether by working to pass legislation in your state, educating others about state sovereignty, or becoming a champion of the Constitution’s vision of a limited federal government. Together, we can reclaim the freedoms that federal overreach has eroded, and we can do this by making America STATES again!
The Founders RecipeBook this TopicOur country stands at a crossroads, and the path to restoring our Republic lies in rediscovering the wisdom that guided our Founding Fathers. They weren’t just statesmen; they were scholars, steeped in the timeless lessons of history’s greatest thinkers. Imagine if we could cultivate a new generation of leaders with the same intellectual rigor and moral fortitude as James Madison. The secret? It’s in the books they read, the ideas they debated, and the virtues they practiced. In “The Founders Recipe,” we reveal the blueprint they followed — an accessible treasure trove of knowledge that’s literally at our fingertips today. These books didn’t just inspire the Founders; they armed them with the insights needed to confront and overcome the very challenges we face now. By diving into these lectures, you’re not just learning history; you’re equipping yourself to be part of the .008 percent — the small but powerful force that can reignite the flame of liberty in America. Join us, and let’s ensure our Republic doesn’t fall victim to the same political diseases that destroyed so many before us. The future of our nation depends on it.
Just the Facts: Dangers of an Article V ConventionBook this TopicConvention of States (COS) and similar groups are irritated by stubborn facts: The clear and present danger to the Constitution caused by a convention for proposing amendments is unnecessary, and the safeguards these groups have contrived are unconstitutional. Article V does not provide any of the guarantees promised by those pushing and paying for a convention. Nothing that supports the scenarios, set-ups, and simulations that these groups put forward as facts — not a syllable of constitutional or historical support for their theatrical premises. However, there is irrefutable constitutional and historical support for the right, duty, power, and prerogative of the states to stand as sentinels on the watchtowers of liberty and the Constitution that protects it. States created the federal government, and states drafted the contract wherein the federal government’s “few and defined” powers are listed: the U.S. Constitution. We need not risk calling a convention that would be comprised of corrupt politicians and politically powerful elites slavering to get their hands on the Constitution, particularly the First and Second Amendments. Such a scheme is unnecessary, unproven, and unwise.

In this explosive talk, Alex Newman explains who is behind CBDCs, and why. More importantly, he explains how you can fight back.
Transhumanism: The War on HumanityBook this TopicIt sounds like science fiction, but it’s not.

Weaponizing Religion to Build the New World OrderBook this TopicWelcome to The Great Reset, where globalists say you will own nothing, and like it.

Diabolic Origins of the Great ResetBook this TopicWith the dawn of the Great Reset made possible by the Covid debacle, the conspiratorial wolf is finally beginning to emerge from its sheep’s clothing. In fact, the more Deep State operators openly promote their true agenda, the less we should call it “hidden” or even refer to it as a “conspiracy.” Yet it is the same scheme — couched in new trappings — that has been at work for centuries under other names throughout history, and always with the same goal of overthrowing both church and state and implementing tyranny. It is the reason Robert Welch founded The John Birch Society in 1958. Rebecca Terrell traces the diabolic origins of the Great Reset and reveals what we can do to combat it.
Exposing the Global Attack on FarmersBook this TopicGovernments around the world are taking dangerous steps to drive farmers out of business. Farmers will have their cattle herds cut, their land seized, and be forcibly removed from their farms. Sound too fantastic to be true? It’s already happened in Sri Lanka and the Netherlands — and it’s beginning in Ireland, Canada, and other countries. How long before it happens here?
Listen as Rebecca Terrell details the attacks and reveals the motives and players behind this insidious plan. Learn how you can help protect those who feed you and your family.

Inside the United Nations — 20 Years LaterBook this TopicThe United Nations is almost 80 years old, and has changed a lot over the decades. But the essential goals of the organization remain completely contrary to the interests of a free and independent United States. Today, the danger of a sudden and radical transformation of the UN into a true world government has never been more acute. In this presentation, Dr. Bonta examines what has been happening recently with the UN, and examines prospects for the near-term future — including the possibility that the United States will eventually withdraw from the organization.
Dollars and Sense: Money, Banking, and GovernmentBook this TopicWe use money every day and couldn’t run civilization without it. But what is money, and where does it come from? Why is money and modern finance so unstable? How does our banking and financial system work? And why have chronic debt and inflation become the norm?

America: Land of the Free, or Home of the Slave?Book this TopicIn this presentation, Rev.

Brown concludes examining what a convention would look like if it were held today.
Nullification: The Rightful RemedyBook this TopicMany people are clamoring for an Article V convention to rein in big government. However, such a convention would result in changing the Constitution and risk removing many of its limitations on government power. But is our problem with big government due to a flaw in the Constitution — or a flaw in the politicians? Nullification, the constitutionally-prescribed practice of ignoring unconstitutional “laws,” is the key to reining in big government, not an Article V convention.

The Poisoned Apple of InflationBook this TopicIn 1913, a group of very rich, very powerful men met in secret on an island off the coast of the state of Georgia. Their plan: Create a national bank that not only produced the nation’s money, but controlled its interest rate. It would be sold to the public as the solution to stock market crashes and depressions. In reality, it was an inflationary mechanism designed to make them even richer, which we have been the victims of ever since. Join economics scholar Mary-Mark Haggard for an in-depth examination of the Federal Reserve and its detrimental effects on our economy, and what we can do to end the Fed.

Big Government is Crushing the American DreamBook this TopicDid you know that every elected official – police officers, sheriffs, mayors, judges, governors, representatives, and senators – upon entering office, swears an oath to uphold the Constitution? Are you aware that many of our elected officials either support unconstitutional legislation or act in ways that are unconstitutional? Did you know that we the people have the ability – the responsibility – to enforce the Constitution? The problem is that many people today are not familiar enough with our Constitution to recognize when someone is breaking the rules – and there’s a LOT of rule-breaking going on right now, especially in Washington D.C.

Anarchy: An Eyewitness AccountBook this TopicThrough a military coup in Chile in 1973, a Socialist/Communist president was removed and Marxism was successfully suppressed. Free market economics were introduced and Chile became the world’s “Economic Miracle” and considered the best in Latin America. Then last October society suddenly erupted in violent protest, burning, looting and fighting with the police and even triggering a state of emergency, bringing out the military to the streets of Santiago, and lasting months. We recently saw something similar happening here. What are the commonalities? Although the spark was different the underlying causes are the same. What is happening in the world today and why?
