Member Training – What Can I Do For Liberty?

Member training from November 3rd, 2025.

This Tree of Liberty Society member training I emphasized that our mission as members of the Tree of Liberty Society is not just to learn about liberty but to live it and teach it. We must build a deep understanding of the principles that create and preserve freedom while exposing the satanic conspiracy that seeks to destroy it. True liberty cannot exist without truth—and truth must be shared to increase the agency of others. I challenged each of us to identify five “opinion molders” in our circles—religious leaders, business owners, community influencers—and share with them materials that can awaken understanding and expand their influence for good. This is how we change the culture: one conversation, one act of courage, one truth shared at a time. Our duty is to “waste and wear out our lives” bringing hidden things of darkness to light, helping others see clearly, act rightly, and ultimately become free.

TRANSCRIPT

Heavenly Father, we're grateful to meet together tonight. And we're grateful for those who are here at this time and pray that others that would like to join us will be able to make it tonight. And we're grateful for all the work and the research that Ben puts into these presentations. And we ask you to help us all to be open and receptive and to learn new things tonight. We say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I wanted to talk about that. What can we do? The bullet, not the bullet, well, the bulletin does too, but the member manual especially is a great reference to go back to. You're like, okay, I like this presentation. You know, I like the training that we did tonight. We had some calls to action, but how can I, you know, get us more into that and, or get some more guidance on that. And so I'm hoping to give us some more principles that we can grasp onto. And so that whatever the, action item is or whatever the program is, we have instilled in us this, what can I do? You know, we don't, we know, generally speaking, after we look at something, what is the next thing that I do?

And so that way it's, we just, it's, it's a automatic reaction. It's a reflex that we just, okay, let's get to work. Because of course, this is what we're trying to do is to make sure that we're not perishing for lack of knowledge. And that we are building and adhering to the principles that have built free nations, that we are exposing the satanic conspiracy and building an effective resistance to that conspiracy. It's all of these things mixed together. It's not just one. We have to be doing them all. And so, of course, what we're trying to do, you know, when we change the culture, if you're building understanding and adherence to the principles that have built free nations, that is not part of the culture, right? Almost nobody understands historically what has built Free Nations, as well as the conspiracy.

Almost nobody understands the depth and breadth of the conspiracy. And so to be able to do what our goals are, to be able to accomplish our goals, we have to change the culture. And that's whether it's in our communities. And then that goes out to our counties and our states and out from there. to the entire world. And we know that that is the case, that it does work, and that we can change the culture because of the increasing awareness of and increasing calls for things like nullification and interposition. As just a few years ago, it was something that was never heard of, that you could never do that. And now it's being demanded more and more of legislators, of sheriffs, and so on. Does somebody have a question? Comment? Okay, I thought I heard myself. So this is an important principle is that all we must find and build and use to win is sufficient understanding and application of the principles of free societies and the satanic conspiracy.

Sometimes we want to make it more difficult or we want to make it something where it's more sexy, where it's like, hey, you know, we want to win by... lawsuits we want to win by getting the right guy elected but those things obviously don't work otherwise we'd be free right now and so it's the hard work but simple principle of building the application and understanding of these two things and of course as a part of this no one can act effectively without correct information and so that's why there's so many people out there working on the wrong thing is because they think that they're informed about something that they're not informed about As Joyce said several months ago, after she completed the boot camp, it was like, I thought I knew this stuff, but obviously I didn't. And so, you know, it was important for her to go through that. And so we there are things that people are engaged in that they're engaged in because they don't have correct information.

And so we have to overcome that. That is something the the information war is really what Satan. And his minions in the conspiracy are most concerned with themselves. And I want to go over some important principles laid out by H. Verland Anderson in his timeless book, Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen. He says, both the laws of God and the laws of civilized man define good as a thing that increases and preserves agency. Evil causes the decrease and destruction of agency. You can only gain your desired results by following laws, but you cannot purposely obey a law unless you know what that law is. Seems so simple, but profound at the same time.

Thus, achieving a goal is impossible without knowledge of the laws. If your actions are based upon false information and principles, your failure is certain and the exercise of agency is frustrated. Consequently, if you deceive or deliberately mislead both the laws of God and deliberately mislead, both the laws of God and man condemn you. In contrast, one of the most righteous callings is to increase agency by sharing truth, which increases others' ability to reach their goals. And so I'm hoping that as we go through these principles, It'll open our eyes to the importance of what I'm talking about, of building this understanding because they can't do the second part of implementing the principles of liberty if they don't understand the principles of liberty. And so this right here, the conspiracy and Satan through his minions in the conspiracy seeks night and day to deceive and mislead and give people 99 truths to deceive them with the last lie. so that they do the wrong thing and so our job is to increase agency by sharing these truths by increasing other others ability to understand the truth so when we are doing that when we're sharing these things when we share a book when we share a link when we share a video or a pamphlet we are working to increase the agency of others And I can't think of something that would be more important for us to do than continue.

That's how we continue that fight for liberty that allowed us to come here in the first place. He continues on in the book. He says, is condemned by both the laws of God and man. The effect of perverting the truth hinders or prevents compliance with law and destroys freedom. And this is something that some people just really have a hard time with. The idea that confining ourselves to the laws of nature and the laws of God actually magnifies our freedom. And so we have to be... compliant to the laws of god to be able to increase our true liberty and so we have to understand those principles and then magnify those uh that understanding by sharing it with others.

This is why Satan is working so hard and why we have to work so hard in the contrary is to be able to overcome these lies. George Washington talked about the important, you know, that he says, was it George Washington? I'm going to misquote, but there's a famous saying that an ounce of truth will outpower a pound of lies. And so it might seem too simple. It might seem uh cliche or might even seem like it's not going to be powerful enough but the enemies of freedom are working so hard on this that tells us that this is actually one of the most effective things that we can do to get people to do the right thing is to first start with building their understanding of truth okay we see in march 22nd in 1839 joseph smith says it is an imperative duty that we owe to god to angels with whom we shall be brought to stand and also to ourselves to our wives and children who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression.

Okay? So because of this effort to force others to bow down to tyranny and oppression, we have an imperative duty that we owe to God, angels, and others, and our brother, right? Who is our brother, right? We're our brother's keeper. What is this imperative duty that we owe to them? He says, For there are many yet on the earth, among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it. Therefore, this is our duty, this is the imperative duty that we owe everyone, that we should waste and wear out our lives. and bring to light all the hidden things of darkness wherein we know them. Okay. This is our duty. It's very interesting. He didn't say this imperative duty was to go do this great and grandiose thing of making sure you get the right person elected. He ran for president, but he didn't say that that was the imperative duty.

He didn't say, let's do this. We have an imperative duty to win this lawsuit. He says our imperative duty is to wear out our life, meaning that we dig in so much that our life is dedicated to the cause of bringing to light these hidden things and bringing the truth to others. That is the imperative duty that we have because you cannot make the correct decision. You cannot make the correct action until you have that knowledge which is hidden and that people don't know where to find it. And so our job is to help shine a light so that they know where to find it, directing them towards the truth so that then we can help them to increase their agency and make correct decisions. Okay.

So part of changing the culture is identifying five opinion molders. That's how we can shine that light even brighter because an opinion molder has a broader reach and influence than the average person. Okay. This will help us in our efforts to waste and wear our lives because now we can magnify our own reach through those that have an even larger reach. So an example of an opinion molder would be a religious leader, business owners, professionals, doctors, lawyers, people that others look up to, radio talk show hosts. I know that Mark likes to, you know, that you share things with like Kate Daly. And so those are, that's an example of someone that you can. work with to be able to magnify your voice. I have personal examples myself of being able to have a local, national ones not so much, but a local talk show host where they were on the opposite side of where we were. And through dedicated effort following this program, we were able to get them from the opposite side to our side and magnifying our voice. And so then sharing materials and inviting them to events.

And then we help broaden our reach and increase our legitimacy in the eyes of more of those in our core audience because they're seeing others talk about it. You know, it's one of those things where it's just a psychological thing where we just hear somebody else saying the same thing that we heard somebody else say. All of a sudden it becomes legitimate because we heard more than one person say it. And the more people that they hear say it, the more legitimate it becomes and the more that this snowball effect takes place.

And so my call to action is for all of us to identify five of these individuals that we will share one of our books, one of our videos, one of our articles on a principle, sharing our boot camp, something that we are doing, sharing, finding five opinion molders that you're working with to be able to get them this information so that they will then magnify your effort. to waste and wear out your life, exposing these hidden things of darkness as our imperative duty, okay? So let me give you an example of a religious leader, right?

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you have your stake presidency, your bishopric, your elders quorum president, your Relief Society president. In a traditional Christian church, maybe you have your pastor, associate pastor, youth pastor. In a Catholic parish, you will have your deacon or your priest that you would... able to reach out to on the local level, to be able to work with them and to influence them, to use their influence within that religious area to be able to get them to magnify the voice as because they're in a position where people will listen to them.

So with the religious leaders, we give them something to read, to watch, but we don't try to give them everything and expect a response. in our initial face-to-face visit that's with all of them you're just you're not trying to be obnoxious you're not trying to harass them you're just saying this is you know you give them a reason why you're sharing it with them and what you think maybe they could do with it um but you don't like just immediately follow like and you know the next day you say well did you watch it yet you give them some time you don't want to wait too long depending on what the item is if it's a video give them a day or two if it's a book maybe a week and you follow up um but uh just depending on what it is you can use that and work with me if if you have a question on that but to make sure that you're um just you're being friendly with it you're not being um like an obnoxious mlm salesman about it so um next thing is to to build on areas of agreement and so it's you know when you first approach these topics with someone You don't pick the thing that you disagree on.

You don't say, okay, we agree on that. Let's move on. Oh, we agree on that. Let's find something that we are, you know, just diametrically opposed on and let's argue about that. That's not a way to, you know, build friends and influence others. We first work on areas of agreement. If somebody is a member of the LDS church, they would respect somebody like Ezra Tatt Benson, who recommends books like Prophets, Principles, and National Fire. Many are called, but few are chosen. Elders of Israel and the Constitution, which talk about principles of liberty. He recommended the book, none dare call it conspiracy. And so you say, hey, look, a leader that we all respect. is recommending these books. Why would he do that? I recommend that, you know, here's a copy of Nunder Call It Conspiracy.

Benson enjoyed it. I think you will too. And let's talk about it sometime. And then that will lead them to being more or finding out that they're more open to reading a book like Invasion. So you start off with where they agree with before maybe you jump ahead to something that is a little bit shocking or different than what they might be used to. for example. For Catholics or people that respect traditional Catholics, Father Francis Fenton is a good source of somebody that stood by the principles of liberty against the conspiracy. One example of an article he wrote, he says, and what justifies their, meaning the communist total brutality as well as their total dishonesty? A communist has absolutely no regard for truth in word or in deed. He is a consummate liar, skillfully trained by his mentors in the ways of communist hypocrisy and deception.

To speak and to act always for the best interest of the conspiracy he so faithfully serves and to which he is so thoroughly dedicated. So just like I talked about in the very beginning, Satan and his minions are dedicated to deception. And so our job is to overcome that. And so here he is exposing that. So you go to fatherfenton.com and he's got videos, whoever it is, the guy's dead now, but whoever runs that website has videos, articles, audios of things that he's talked about that if you have a Catholic friend, that it would be a good tool to be able to share with them, to introduce them into these topics and then share with them, you know, working on areas of agreement. and then sharing something more specifically aligned with what we do here at the Tree of Liberty Society. I want to share this clip of a talk that Francis Fenton gave, where he talks about the importance of standing up for the truth. While a most commendable job has already been done, a mammoth job remains.

That of getting as much of the whole truth as possible, as soon as possible, to our fellow Americans who do not know it or who are but more or less vaguely aware of it. There is no substitute for this. If the communist conspiracy is to be destroyed, if our enslaved fellow men are to regain their freedom, and if we are to remain free, the truth about communism and about those organizations and individuals who are doing its work, this truth must be known by enough of the American people, and it will not be known by them unless they are taught, unless they are told where to get that truth. So he reiterates a true principle that I think we all agree on. You reiterated what I quoted from other religious leaders on, that we have a duty that these people aren't going to find the truth if we don't actively engage in sharing that truth.

Now, we're wise in who we share that truth with, but we do not hide ourselves under a bushel. We do what we can to be able to shine that bright light, to bring others to the truth so that we can help them increase their agency. So just going on that, this is just a screenshot of his website, that Father Fenton, where you can go find other materials from him. If you have Catholic friends, that this would be a place of, hey, this is a mutual agreement. We might be not of the same faith, but I totally agree with this Catholic priest on what he says on this issue. And so just building on those areas of agreement. This is an example of something that I did. I got a copy of Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen.

And I shared with one of my bishops a quote from General Conference about it and said that this book had a big impact on me. I think it'll have a big impact on you. And it was just a couple of weeks later that I get a call from him and thanking me profusely for the book and saying that he would use his influence to make sure that people in the ward don't use government welfare anymore and that we help them understand the principle that it is part of Satan's plan to go to government to support the poor and the needy and that we will use our influence to follow God's plan of protecting agency and liberty and using our agency to care for others of our own free will and choice.

And so that's just an example of being able to work with. religious leaders to get them to use their influence to increase the agency of others because we know that government welfare not only decreases the agency of the individual that receives it, but it enslaves the person that is stolen from to be able to give to the recipient. And then, you know, giving them follow-up copies of other books that they can, you know. that we follow up with uh areas of agreement on and then we prepare ourselves and so that if somebody has a question um that we can be educated on it um whether either we're educated on it where we can answer the question specifically or we can share with them where to go or we can say hey that's a good question i'll follow up with you i'll find the answer to that and so we have these tools on our website you go there we have natural law godly role of government the constitution kingdom of god socialism and communism so your combinations civic responsibilities solutions and nullification and so we we have videos we have articles we have pdf downloads we have just every kind of media source of something on each of those topics some of them with more than others that you could just spend hours and hours upon to be able to build your understanding on is right there and available for you like we see here this is going through just that secret combination page where we got a little of a background and then some of our videos that we have on it, some talks by others that they've written on it, PDF books and a whole, all kinds of different videos on different aspects and different tentacles of the conspiracy so that we can build our understanding.

And so that way, no matter what it is that maybe somebody else is interested in, we'll be prepared to have a discussion on. And we can talk to them about it and be able to help them understand the issue better or commiserate with them or whatever it is that we can do. Say, hey, you know who else did a video on that? Hey, check this out. We have somewhere to send them, someplace to answer their questions and someplace to help them be able to learn more themselves and to take the next step and become a part of the solution. And so we prepare ourselves, right? We think about the areas of concern that might arise and how to respond, but we don't create issues that don't exist.

So we prepare ourselves for what, you know, as I started getting into Liberty, there were different things that I noticed that are different aspects that are brought up that are either, you know, questions or areas. of separation between an individual and myself. And so I didn't bring those up. I'd be like, hey, I wouldn't say, hey, you know what most people disagree with me about? No, you know, I wouldn't say that, but I would be prepared so that I, you know, I said, this is a common thing that comes up. Let me be prepared in case it does come up. Or if you know the individual, you know that this person has a hot button with X, Y, or Z. And so you're prepared. with some information on that so that way you can have a good conversation with them. You write down possible answers to concerns you think that might arise so that you're prepared if they do arise. And then you also prepare additional items to give to them, to loan to them, depending on the situation.

And then you think of several so that the material that you provide is relevant to interests and questions. So you've got a few things up your sleeve to be able to share with somebody. So that's why we have the pass along cards. We have the Slim Jims. We have the website and the social media channels that you can direct people to on a specific topic. Be organized, right? We identify the five opinion molders that you would like to reach out to with a book or a flyer. And then once you've identified those five opinion molders, you track who you've contacted just personally. You know, you have a little piece of paper, a book, whatever it is. attracting those that you've contacted. What have you shared with them? What was their response when you gave it to them? And then any subsequent response later on, right?

Immediately they said, oh, thank you so much. And then we met a couple of weeks later and they said X, Y, Z. Or they said, you know, I've got no interest in learning more. Go take a hike. You're like, okay, great. I don't have to waste time and waste money giving you anything else. We're done. And I can add somebody else to my list of five. And then we just repeat that with the next, you know, with the next four individuals on our list as we build that list and we continue to develop it to, you know, getting rid of people or adding new people. So that way we're always focused on our efforts to grow the organization, also to grow the understanding of others and in turn, which grows their agency and their ability. to actually be free themselves because they understand the truth and they're no longer deceived by specific lies that the conspiracy would like to fool them with. So then we report and work with me. That's what I'm here for is to help you in your effort to do this. And so let me know when you've completed something. You're like, hey, I just talked to so-and-so. I just... Gave so-and-so a book.

I just sent so-and-so a video and this is what they said. That way we can talk about it, right? What were the results? Were they good? Were they bad? Were they neutral? How can we help develop this relationship? And then discuss ways to improve and then discuss future follow-up depending on those results from the previous interaction. I'm here to work with you to help you in your effort. to increase the agency of others i think we all have that goal not only do we love liberty do we want liberty for ourselves but we want to help others to be free and by giving them this information we are helping them we are this is not that they're not doing us a favor by reading the book invasion we're helping them we're we're the one actually doing them the favor by helping them understand the pitfalls that they're facing so that they can no longer be tricked by those things so that they can be more free they can be more prosperous and they're not the the chains will not increase upon them but they will actually able be able to get rid of those chains and so we need to make sure that we understand the paradigm so that we're not thinking that they're doing us a favor by watching the video they're not doing us a favor by reading the book we're helping them because if we really believe that we're the truth that we're helping them then we will be um in a mindset that we'll be able to know that we're not going to be so shy that say that oh they're a little bit wishy-washy they might not care well you know do we like them or not do if we love them then we're going to try and help them you know we're not going to force things upon people but if we're helping them we're going to do all that we can to make sure that we've done all that we can to help them that we didn't just say oh you know they didn't need help um getting the help you know the old lady didn't ask for help across the street i'm just going to leave her alone no if we see that she's in danger we're you know crossing the street by herself we're going to you know even though she said no we're gonna say no no really i'm serious i'm glad to help you out don't worry about it it's not it's not a it's not a burden i want to help you and so if we have that attitude we will make sure that we were doing all we can without being a burden to actually help other people to increase their agency So also as a tool that we should always refer to is to go back to the member manual, ensure that we're going on the offense, that we're ready to help change the culture and that we're implementing these principles of liberty.

Changing the culture is how we implement the principles of liberty. And so the next steps is we're going to, this is a screenshot from the member portal on the website. Have we done these things? Have we gone to the website and said, okay, I've read the manual. I've completed the boot camp. I've completed the learn section. I've read invasion and I've read killing or murder. Then we go to the things that all members can be doing. Have I done those things? And so if we're going through these checklists, if we have the manual with us and we refer to it regularly, we're going to know what to do. We're going to know what is the action plan, right? We're not going to have the question, what can I do about this? this new thing that I just learned, we're going to know, okay, this is the first thing I can do about this because these are principles that apply to everything, every, not principle, but every issue that comes up. We have principles right here. So no matter the issue, we know what to do.

There's not a different principle for each issue. There's overall principles that we can apply to every single specific circumstance. And so if we are referring to the member portal, If we are referring to our member manual and we realize what we're doing is helping people to increase their agency, we will always know at least one thing that we can do next. And then that will lead us to the next. And then, of course, always, if you're stuck still, reach out to me. I'm here for you. Give me a call. Give me an email. Give me a text. I am here to help you on those next steps. That's what I am here for. I want to do this. This is what I love doing. I want to help you in the cause of liberty. And so that's why these tools are there. And so all throughout the scriptures, we have a unified message throughout the scriptures to bring this knowledge to other people. The psalmist says, who will rise up for me against the evildoers or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

When we stand up against the workers of iniquity, when we stand up against the evildoers, when we help bring to light these hidden things of darkness, We are working for the Lord. We were standing up for the Lord and his cause. And if we remember these things, we will never be shy in our duty. And we will make sure that we will always stand fast in these principles. And so with that, we have some time. I'm sure that we had time to have questions, answers, comments, and thoughts. lots of things that you've done to implement these things. So I'd like to open it up to you right now to specifically about what we've covered in training tonight. And if you have any questions, I'd like to start with questions.

Our Father in heaven, we are really grateful to be able to come together and receive these instructions on liberty, regaining our liberty and science established. the principles and laws of heaven. In our lives, in our neighborhood, country, and city and town, we ask that our guidance and direction, your friends, bless you, and blessings through your eyes. To open the eyes of those who are blinded by the conspiracy and those who are seeking to go about sighting from them. We are grateful for the light of your den and all that are laid in with them in your efforts. I ask that I bless you and I protect you upon me. I ask that you please bless me in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Thank you.
