The word tyranny is thrown about like the word Hitler. Anybody you don't like is Hitler. Anybody that you don't like in government is a tyrant. And that just doesn't help anybody. It's hyperbole and it actually diminishes the crimes of a tyrant. And so we've got to stop doing that. And there is a fantastic new book that we've just published. Not a new book, but it's a book that's just been published that's actually, you know, it's 300 years old.

And, 400 years old now actually. Goes back to the 1600s. And if we want to be like the founding fathers, we need to read the types of books that the founding fathers read. The types of things that influence them. And that they didn't just think, "Oh, I don't like King George and so I'm going to call him a tyrant." No. They knew what a tyrant was. That it actually has meaning. And it's not the generic definition that we find in Webster's dictionary that is designed to make nobody and everybody a tyrant all the same time. There's a real meaning. And so this book, The Righteous Sword Against Tyranny, was written under the original title of Killing No Murder. But we felt that it didn't really get across to the modern audience what the book really was about. And so we wanted a title that would actually help you better understand what is really going on in the book.

And so that you would actually take the time to read. It's a short book and it's an important book. And it's a book that I really, I cannot say so too lightly that it will actually change your paradigm about liberty, about the threats to it, and about your duty to preserve it. And how to do so as a Christian. What is your duty about liberty? Is it to patiently endure? Or do you have a duty to stand up? Or is it a mixture? This book answers those questions from a biblical perspective, giving biblical examples that we can all stand by. The founding fathers all stood by. And so I encourage you to get a copy. We are selling it.

It's on paperback. We have it as an e-book. And we also have it as an audiobook. So you can listen to it in the car. And you know, there's no reason not to get this book. And it's really that important. And it is something that I think that everybody needs to. You know, a lot of times, especially if it's a book that I wrote, I'm like, you know, if you like it, you like it. But I really feel, I don't want to like just draw attention to myself. But this book, I didn't write it.

But it was paradigm shifting. And so I am just going to be obsessed. And I'm going to be telling everyone about this book. And the need to get a copy of this book for yourself. A need to get a copy of this book for others. And to really make this a household name of a book. It's one of those books that, you know, we have all kinds of different classics out there that are well-known that are just meaningless. They are fluff.

They're basically historical harlequins. That, you know, just fiction that doesn't have really any real bearing on our lives. Where this is not fiction. This is something that is spiritual. It is something that will help us to be able to fulfill our godly obligation, our godly duty to be able to preserve liberty and restore lost liberty. And so about a year ago we were in a, for our Tree of Liberty Society book club. We actually read this book and we had discussions. And so I wanted to share the video of the book club with you. Because it goes through and it shows you the text of the book. And it'll help you kind of give a, it'll give you a sneak peek.

Because it's something that you've probably never heard of before. So you're like, is it worth my time? Whatever. It's only five bucks. You might as well go get it. But even then, maybe, you know, this will help you say this is worth the five dollars to get the book. By going through and reading with us some key points. What are some of the key principles that are laid out in this book? And what is the modern application of the principles laid out in this book? And so with this introduction, that is what you're gonna be watching. You're gonna be watching the clips from my comments about the book.

The book club is private and so we, I didn't get permission from the other participants of the book club to be able to share their their voices and their insights. And so I cut them out. And what you're gonna be hearing is my overview, my insights from the book and text from the book itself. So please watch and please pick up a copy of the Righteous Sword of Tyranny today. Get a copy for yourself. Get a copy for all of your loved ones and for all your gift giving opportunities. This is the time to get them and to make this book a household name. That is one of my greatest desires is to make this book a household name. It is the first in our new series of Liberty Classics that you will just be pleased and excited to share with others. So without further ado, here is the book club for our new book The Righteous Sword Against Tyranny.

We're on page 58 in the book. And so what I did to make sure I could find it, so the blue, and this is from last time, and the blue is for today. And so I wanted to read this part stuck out to me. It says, "What is the thing called a parliament but a mock, composed of the people that are only suffered to fit there because they are known to have no virtue after the exclusion of all others?

What were but suspects to have any? What are they but pimps of tyranny?" I love that. "Who are the only employed to draw in the people to prostitute their liberty? What will not the army fight for? What will they not fight against? What are they but janissaries, slaves themselves, and making of all others so? What are the people in general but knaves, fools, and cowards, principled for ease, vice, and slavery?" He is really, he's not leaving anybody out from being called out there.

I think it's interesting, right? You have the parliament, or in our day the equivalent would be the Congress or the legislatures, and how they're only there because they're known to have no virtue, and they're going to do whatever they're told. They're going to just follow orders, and just going back to ancient Rome where you had the Caesar had his horse as one of the members of their legislature to just show how ridiculous and how useless they are. It's just a figurehead. And then we have, go ahead, well you don't have it. They're not, if nobody's, if nobody is willing to enforce it, then those in power have literally no power. And so it's important that we, you know, it gets into that the army part, right? And essentially our current police in their current form are the standing army the founding fathers warned about. And so it says that what will they not fight for? Will they not, our army, you know, the army and the police, what do they not fight for? And then what are they but the slaves themselves and making others slaves as well? And then it's all this is because the people in general. I think this breaks it down, is it gets down to whose fault is all of this? And the whole book I think brings it down to this, is it's our fault for putting up with it, for allowing it. It means we're knaves, we're fools, we're cowards. We are totally unprincipled in any way and wicked persons or not to live at all. So this right here is condemning of us all, me included. We're allowing the tyranny to exist beyond exposure of them and hoping that they hide. And so that, but it's going to come to a point where if we don't act and these things are allowed to continue, that everybody that has any virtue will either be extinguished because, meaning that they've given up their virtue by allowing it to continue or you know they will take care of business as needed. So continue on the next paragraph he says, "Nor must we expect any cure from our patients." I love that, like he's like he's like, "Hey you guys just hanging out and waiting for things to get better?

That's not a cure, that's not going to fix anything." He continues on before I just kind of get in that more detail, "Men deceive themselves that think too much, but when they goof up on it you know they're all nice and asking for your forgiveness." And so you know the same thing with people and you know anybody in office as well, is the only time that they're pretending to be nice to you is when they're in a moment of weakness where they can lose their power if they if they don't convince you to give them another chance. And then as soon as you give them that chance they are just ready to pounce and kill you.

He must defend one villainy with another, so to protect himself he has to continue on with his evil actions. He's not going to just stop doing it because then he'll be exposed and you'll see him as weak and you'll want to get rid of him. Whereas if he has to feel like he has to to maintain his power he has to give you another reason to be afraid of him. He has to do something else to cover up the previous evil that he did. And so I thought to myself, well we don't want to give that power to a Bill Clinton 2.0 so we've got to make sure not give it to Bush. Right and so I just you know it was just that idea I had at the time was we don't want to set a precedence because a wicked person is of course going to take advantage of it or a so-called good person, which I was wrong was not a good person, you know I thought wouldn't take advantage of it. And so it creates a tyrant even if there isn't one there we can't give anybody unlimited power. It has to be kept within those bounds. We cannot let it get out of those bounds. So it says, "If he be good so was Nero for five years and now and how shall we be secure that he will not change. Besides the power that is allowed to a good man we may be sure will be claimed and taken by an ill and therefore it hath been the custom of good princes to abridge their own power. It may be distrusting themselves but certainly fearing their successors to the chance of whose being virtuous they would not hazard the welfare of the people." So that's exactly what we're talking about needs to... So on the next page, paragraph, "Some I find a some I find of a strange opinion that if it were a generous and noble action to kill his highness in the field but to do it privately they think it unlawful but know not why." So he's saying that you know there are there might be somebody there are people out there that say yeah yeah this guy needs to be killed he's a bad guy but we have to do it out in the open and it's you know it's immoral it's unlawful if we do it in you know in under the protection of privacy. "As if it were not generous to apprehend a thief till his sword were drawn and he in a posture to defend himself and kill me.

But these people do not consider that whosoever is possessed of power anytime will be sure to engage so many either in guilt or profit or both that to go about to throw him out by open force will very much hazard the total ruin of the Commonwealth." So it reminds me of I don't mean to bring in pop culture but you've got the third episode three of the Star Wars movies and you have the Jedi's you know coming in and and they're going to arrest the next the Emperor and he's you know they're gonna they're saying we're gonna put you before trial and he says I own the Senate I you know basically I own the courts you know I he says I am those things and so this is the situation with a tyrant you can't bring them in for a supposed fair trial because there is no way to do so he controls everyone that would be able to hold him accountable and so you can't go through the normal processes to get rid of him you just have to do it. Yeah well because it's every person in power judges prosecutors are all a part of the same conspiracy. Yeah. Next page 62 it says "it is an opinion that deserves no other refutation than the manifest absurdity of itself." So he's like it's self-evidently ridiculous to defend that idea that it should be lawful for me to destroy a tyrant with hazard blood and confusion but not without. So to do in a position where I can protect myself that's immoral that's it's ridiculous.

"Another objection and more common is the fear of what may succeed if his highness were removed. One would think the world were bewitched. I am fallen into a ditch where I shall certainly perish if I lie but if I refuse to be helped out for fear of falling into another I suffer a certain misery for fear of a contingent of a contingent one and let the disease kill me because there is a hazard in the cure to die for fear of dying." So that's that's the idea of we're gonna allow a tyrant to exist because we don't want to be replaced by another tyrant. Well frankly that I mean I think it's been brought up and it's a fair point where if you don't recognize the conspiracy you have like the the Hydra where you cut off one tentacle and another one grows back. Where if you understand the conspiracy and you get rid of a conspirator the other conspirators are likely to get into line and or or expose themselves basically is the is the option. So we shouldn't be afraid to do the right thing for fear of something worse happening because that means we're allowing the evil to continue it we're gonna die because we're afraid of dying it makes no sense.

And so with this you know that the background of earlier in the book right it's talking about how that when a tyrant was killed the population cheered the person that did it right they put a statue up to him. That's because the masses understood that he was a tyrant. If the people don't understand that he's a tyrant that's not going to happen, so is it a benefit? So, next page it says what the people at present endure and posterity shall suffer will all be lit will all will be all laid at our doors for only we under God have the power to pull down this dagger this Dagon and idol what I don't know Dagon and idol of the Philistines which we have set up and if we do it not all mankind will repute us approvers of all the villainies he have done and authors of all to come.

So, there is a point where we have to do everything we can both to build the understanding amongst enough people of who these people are and then take action with that knowledge because knowledge without action is useless. It's, well it's probably worse than useless it's more damning because now as he's saying here that a you're responsible for all future horrible acts that this tyrant does and future generations will see you as a pile of garbage because you refuse to do anything.

And so it's essential that we do both of those things; that we build understanding amongst more people that means—it's effort. We have to distribute books. We have to get this book out there. We have to get the Invasion books, volume one and two, out to more people. We have to get the other materials that exist to help expose the conspiracy and show people what the proper response is so that this is not the result of future generations and a future actions taken by the by the tyrants. Okay, so page 65, therefore all tyrants follow the examples of Dionysus Dion Dion Dionysus Dionysus who was said to use his friends as he did his bottles when he had use for them he kept them by him when he had none that they should not trouble him and lie in his way he hung them up.

So, this is the idea of you know tyrants that you're only useful to a tyrant when when you're of use to them, when you're not you're to be done because you're a challenge to them as it says here in the next paragraph, little every man to whom God have given the spirit of wisdom and courage be persuaded by his honor his safety his own goodness countries and indeed the duty he owes to his generation and to mankind to endeavor by all rational means to free the world of his past.

Okay, so never mind that's not on this topic kind of going on to the next topic but right here going back here he says that it's you know it's it's very common with what we saw in the Bolshevik Revolution and as well I think it was in the social the National Socialist in Germany where the people that helped these individuals get into power were some of the first people to be gotten rid of by those that were the figurehead in power because they knew that that they were a danger to them because of the effectiveness of their assistance in putting them in power and so they are they could be just as effective in replacing them. And so we need to recognize that we shouldn't fall into the the immorality of say—and I have heard actually people say this—they wake up to the conspiracy and they say, well they're in power, I should just join them and so that I can partake of their spoils and that's just a very dangerous and immoral attitude to take.
