You know, politics and religion. And it's now a custom where people, oh, don't say that, you know, around Thanksgiving and all that, family gatherings and all that stuff. And I said, you know, maybe that was all a trap. Maybe we should be talking about politics and religion in those settings. And you just reminded me of that, Ben, when you talked about people don't even recognize their liberties anymore, you know?

So, because they were taught, look, you can look at our education system. That didn't happen by accident. You know what I mean? It's like, kids go to school today and what are they actually learning? I mean, it's very confusing. Even the time when we went in the '70s and '80s, we were learning a bunch of things that I've never used before.

But I don't know if they ever taught me about taxes and in 1913, Federal Reserve creation. They didn't tell us anything about this stuff, right? Why is government, who are, you know, in our constitution wants to keep small and limited. Well, when you go to a government education center, in their head, they're like, no, we don't wanna be small and limited. We wanna be big and controlling everything, including your kids and their minds.

No tyranny is gonna teach you how to overthrow it.

There you go, boom, right there.

And what you said reminds me, there's this part in my book, "Invasion" on page 174, talking about the ecclesiastical authority and what that really meant back when that was originally really kind of in the early Christian church, right after the death of the Savior. It's the ecclesia of God, really think of it as just being a religious authority.

But what we don't understand is what it was in the mindset of the ancient saints. Because when they use that term, they were asserting their intention to form the political kingdom of God. And that they were actually a threat to Rome, because they were teaching the people to be free. And that's really what we see is, when you saw the Jews during this time, they were in cahoots with the government and they were able to live freely with the government.

But when you saw the Christians actually saying, 'cause ecclesia was the name of the governing body of Greece during the first century. So you have this governing body of Greece called the ecclesia, and the Christians are calling themselves the ecclesiastical authority. They're like, "Holy smokes, these guys are building up "something that is a threat to us." And so we see that when ancient Israel was a threat to Egypt, that is their political authority, that's when they really got persecuted.

And then we see the early Christians, the Jews became co-opted by the government. And so the early Christians were saying, "Hey, we're gonna be free. "We're not gonna be underneath your rule anymore." And that's when the government went after them. And so we start to see the things that work are the things that the powers that shouldn't be start to wring your neck around and try to stop you from doing.

And that should teach us what's actually effective.
