Facts Are Often Hidden Things

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While serving as defense counsel during the Boston Massacre trial, John Adams highlighted the unyielding nature of facts. Today, despite the veil often cast over truth, modern technology arms us with the power to unveil it. Yet, many still hide behind misleading labels like “Fact Checker,” attempting to mold reality. I urge you to seek truth from reliable sources, for facts remain as…

392 – Your Right to Remain Silent

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…

Miranda Warning

If you’ve ever been taken into custody, or simply watched a crime procedural on TV, you’re familiar with the Miranda warning, named after the 1966 Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona. However, if you’re getting your legal advice from television, you may find yourself in serious legal trouble. Where does this right to remain silent come from, how is it protected, and just how constitutional is the Miranda decision?

Judicial Hokey Pokey

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Due Process is a term many use, yet its true meaning often eludes. The Free Legal Dictionary defines it as the established course for safeguarding individual legal rights through judicial proceedings. But is our judicial system truly delivering justice? Nowadays, it feels more procedural than just. Imagine putting your case into this system, only to see it treated like a child’s dance, the hokey pokey!

Minute Men

I’m sure you remember the Minute Men, those members of the Massachusetts Militia that were ready at a minute’s notice to rise to the defense of their fellow colonists. The third part of The Patriots Program is just that, a group of men and women ready to rise to the defense of their fellow citizens at a moment’s notice. All of us hear about some constitutional injustice or another from time to time. What if we could share that information, through a group like the Committees of Correspondence. What if we had people around the country who have been trained by a program like the Constitutional Scholars to defend their rights and the rights of others. And what if there was someone, or even a group of someones, who were prepared to stand up and help defend their fellow citizens? People like the Minute Men.

Committees of Correspondence

Knowledge is not something we should keep to ourselves. Between the tendency of patriot groups to not work together and the censorship that is running rampant in our country, we tend to feel isolated and alone. However, the best way to combat that starts with communication.

Constitution Scholars

The first area, and where I suggest every patriot start, is with education. People say “knowledge is power”, yet that is not entirely true, it is the first step to power. Remember the bootcamp? The first thing we did was establish a firm foundation upon which to build our skills. That foundation is what we’re going to build our education on.

Who’s Raising Your Children?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Life takes unexpected twists when satire headlines hint at profound truths. Babylon Bee humorously suggests the government actively raising our kids, but hasn’t that been the silent case for years? Students earnestly grapple with literacy, young minds are subtly sexualized, and college-goers absorb skewed narratives. These teachings profoundly influence their pivotal choices, shaping our…

Civilizations Die From Suicide, Not by Murder

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – 21st Century America echoes John Adams’ belief that our Constitution thrives best among a moral and religious people. As our society’s values shift, the Constitution’s effectiveness wanes. Drawing parallels with Edward Gibbon’s observations on Roman culture, I highlight the alarming similarities. Are we heeding the lessons of history, or are we, as Arnold Toynbee suggests, letting our…
