The New Establishment
Monday Aug 28, 2023
Monday Aug 28, 2023
Americans have the greatest opportunity in history to end despotism and fight the evil known as "the New World Order".
The NEW ESTABLISHMENT is actually the old American Communist Party, but now they are in control of most of the levers of power within government, media, academia and international/national finance.
We must not squander this wonderful opportunity to free ourselves from the narrow confines of collectivist thinking by giving up. We are at the tipping point in history where everything depends on us and our willingness to put our lives, fortunes and sacred honor at risk for the unborn generations that will follow! Make the wise choice to end the New Establishment chokehold on society.

AN ARTICLE 5 CONVENTION IN WOKE AMERICA?
Tuesday Jan 17, 2023
Tuesday Jan 17, 2023
An Article 5 Convention is not only a bad idea, but a disastrous idea in today's political climate...
The relentless push for an Article 5 Convention pops up at every Legislative Session in states that have not signed on as supporters of a call for a Convention of the States to amend the US Constitution.
Although this is sold as a way to change one or two parts of the Constitution such as term limits or a mandated balanced budget, it has a great potential to become a run-away convention that could eviscerate the founders "original intent".
In their wisdom, the founders provided a way to amend the Constitution through a process that was intended to limit the scope of the amendments to single issues.
This amendment process required a 2/3 rds vote of Congress and the Senate to pass the amendment, followed by submission to all State Legislatures requiring approval by 75% of the states for ratification.
This amendment process has resulted in 27 total amendments since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788.....
Guest: Robert Brown - Constitutional Expert. Mr. Brown has conducted numerous tours across the country, presenting “Rein in Big Government with Article VI not V,” illustrating how we the people already have the power, without any changes to the Constitution, to rein in our out-of-control federal government.
Guest: Ed Regan - Ed has worked tirelessly to stop the national Article 5 Con-Con groups from enlisting Montana in the movement to re-write the U.S. Contitution.

WAKE UP AMERICA, we are losing our lives, liberty and property!!
The very cornerstone of American exceptionalism is the idea of private property that is so beautifully outlined in America's Founding Documents. For the first time in world history, a system of government was created that made sacred the notion that your labor was your property and that government or feudal masters did not have the right to take the labor of your hands without your permission and just compensation. Private property is so much more complex than most people realize: labor, land, personal property, your physical body, and the thoughts and ideas that come from your mind, are all forms of private property. The ability to speak freely and to think as you wish is as key to private property as any land or personal possessions.
This week's program will start with constitutional expert, Michael Badnarik talking about his 5 part constitutional training program and how critical a good understanding of our founding documents are to the concept of individual liberty and private property.
Next, the attack on Western lands and private property ownership (small farms and ranches) will be discussed, with an emphasis on the role of radical environmentalism and their many tax exempt foundations and non-profit groups working in harmony with the administrative state to expand public lands and reduce private inholdings. U.N. Agenda 21/2030 and the Wildlands Projected a re-wilding of more than 50% of America to pre-Columbian wilderness with no human habitation. Much of the remaining land will be so highly regulated and controlled that small farms and ranches will be forced of of existence, replaced with corporate giants like Monsanto and Cargill. America must retain our ability to own property or we will become property.
Guests: Nathan Desheemaeker, Dick Ewing, Michael Badnarik

WHY THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
https://danhappel.com/why-the-second-amendment-is-more-important-than-ever/
Guest: Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.
The Second Amendment was not inserted into the Constitution to guarantee the right to hunt! It was always meant to guarantee that tyranny by big government could never destroy the liberty of the common man by assuring them the permanent and unencumbered right of individual self protection. The right to keep and bear arms is nothing less than the right to protect oneself from the tyranny of the state, especially the heavily armed and omnipotent police state.
The Founders knew that too much power concentrated in the hands of a few, would ultimately lead to the type of crisis in confidence that we face today, and provided the means to defend the republic against all form of tyranny. If we fail to understand that America is truly under assault from enemies......both foreign and domestic, and that a fundamental aspect of self defense is the right to resist when tyrants are staring us squarely in the face.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN OATH KEEPER
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Our great republic is facing an enemy from within that would have been unthinkable even one generation ago. After years of communist indoctrination in the open sewer known as Public Education; with the support and propaganda from a Marxist dominated Mainstream Media, we have lost many of our youth to the ideology of radical leftists who have imbedded themselves into influential sectors of American culture. America has grown soft, complacent, and lazy

THE BATTLE AHEAD- preserving the right to keep and bear arms!
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
Sunday Jan 12, 2020
Recently, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of Washington under liberal Democratic control, openly declared war against the 2nd Amendment and are moving rapidly to end or greatly impair the cherished American right to keep and bear arms.
The Second Amendment was not inserted into the Constitution to guarantee the right to hunt. It was always meant to guarantee that tyranny by big government could never destroy the liberty of the common man by assuring the right of individual self protection. The right to keep and bear arms is nothing less than the right to protect oneself from the tyranny of the state, especially the heavily armed and omnipotent state.

WHY WE MUST PROTECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!
Sunday Oct 20, 2019
Sunday Oct 20, 2019
The Second Amendment was never meant to guarantee the right to hunt or target practice under a controlled political environment. It was always about the right of Americans to protect themselves from an out of control omnipotent federal leviathan such as we are confronting today. Wake up America and join the fight to preserve our great republic.

WE'RE BACK
I've learned that the Lord takes care of us when we are wise enough to follow his guidance.........he just opened a brand new doorway! When one door closes, he usually opens another that leads to a better place when we are wise enough to step through it.
This past weekend I started to do my weekly broadcast of Connecting the Dots on the Patriots' SoapBox livestream and I couldn't be more pleased. I have been given a spot on the Sunday Evening Lineup that allows me to Livestream my program with complete video capabilities where you can see our programs and guests in living color. That helps to move Connecting the Dots to a new level and gives our listeners a place to turn for 24/7 patriot news and programing beyond my 2 hour time slot at:
Please join me every Sunday afternoon from 2 pm till 4 pm Mountain time for the Live Broadcasts. Archives will still be available on Podbean and DanHappel.com.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH - it's only free when you are a progressive socialist!
Tuesday Sep 17, 2019
Tuesday Sep 17, 2019
Free speech is meant to be free only for those in power and their useful idiots on the left. If you have an idea or policy that does not fit their progressive paradigm, you will be silenced or shouted down as has been proven time and time again by the Deep State toadies that wish to overturn the Trump Administration and those of us who want to Make America Great Again.

The Camp Constitution Mission Statement:
The mission of Camp Constitution is to enhance understanding of our Judeo-Christian moral heritage, our American heritage of courage and ingenuity, including the genius of our United States Constitution, and the application of free enterprise, which together gave our nation an unprecedented history of growth and prosperity, making us the envy of the world. We want to motivate, inspire and activate this generation of Patriots as well as the next generation of Patriots. We want to help find, develop, and train leaders in the freedom fight.
We will also examine and expose some of the abuses and perversions that have brought our nation and economy so far down, and offer discussion to counter the negative influences in our lives, while providing recreational activities that build our physical constitutions, as well as encouraging intelligent intergenerational conversation.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL SHERIFF & CITIZEN MILITIAS
Tuesday Jul 16, 2019
Tuesday Jul 16, 2019
The concept of the citizen militia was born on the notion that large standing professional armies were the natural enemy of true liberty and that an entire population of trained and organized local militias would provide a much more formidable force against foreign and domestic enemies with a much lesser financial burden. This spawned the notion of an armed and patriotic American behind every rock. A citizen militia made up of many millions from every profession and skillset could provide an amazing array of resources and talent for natural and manmade disasters that affect local communities and the nation at large.

CAN WE CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY? why the Founders gave us a republic
Tuesday Jul 09, 2019
Tuesday Jul 09, 2019
This week we will be dividing our program into 2 segments. The first hour will feature Dr. Dennis Cuddy, a Professor of History and author who has written 25 books identifying the open conspiracy against the most successful limited government experiment in history; The United States of America. Dr. Cuddy has spent many years researching and exposing the people and political forces behind the New World Order and explains why they are intent on destroying our great republic.
The second hour will feature former Libertarian Presidential Candidate, teacher, lecturer, philosopher, and author Michael Badnarik, who has spent much of his lifetime teaching others the importance of protecting our unique place in world history and the significance of basing our national identity in classical liberalism. He will outline the unique cast of characters, and Common Law principles used by the Founders as they crafted our Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the original Bill of Rights.

CAN THE CONSTITUTION SAVE AMERICA?
Tuesday Jun 25, 2019
Tuesday Jun 25, 2019
The Founders knew that a legal system based on God given or unalienable rights would be the only way that justice could be maintained in a clear and consistent way, guaranteeing equal justice for all based on biblical absolutes, not social or economic status. This simple but revolutionary concept is at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and later contained in the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. Constitution and original Bill of Rights.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL LAW- and the brilliance of the Founding Fathers
Tuesday Mar 26, 2019
Tuesday Mar 26, 2019
The Founders were extraordinary men educated in the classical liberal tradition with an amazing grasp of philosophies and ideas so revolutionary that they were known, but had never really been tried before......certainly not to forge a nation. As Christian men, they knew that a legal system based on God given or unalienable rights would be the only way that justice could be maintained in a clear and consistent way, guaranteeing equal justice for all. This simple but revolutionary concept is at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and later contained into the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. Constitution and original Bill of Rights.
Those who say that a Christian God and the Ten Commandments had no significant part in the founding of our nation have a very poor understanding of history.

WHAT NEXT ? now that the lunatics are running the asylum!!
Tuesday Feb 26, 2019
Tuesday Feb 26, 2019
For years they labeled those of us who warned about the real purpose of the radical green agenda as alarmists and conspiracy theorists. When we pointed out their efforts to subvert public education, control the mainstream media, radically alter due process, and alter life in America in ways antithetical to the original intent of the Constitution they laughed and made pointed remarks about our tinfoil hats. Americans were told that there was no organized effort to radically alter our political systems or adopt communist programs under the guise of liberalism, and anyone who said they were should be ignored as wingnuts.
Well guess what; we were right all along and Americans are about to reap their just rewards for being asleep at the wheel for the past 100 years while the radical leftists wormed their way into every institution and position of power throughout our society. We now have multiple generations that have been re-educated and indoctrinated into Marxist and progressive socialist ideologies, until almost no-one understand the most fundamental underpinnings of constitutional republican government. America has become the land of useful idiots, ushering in the Green New Deal by supporting and electing Marxists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Fundamental Transformation of America part 2
Tuesday Jul 24, 2018
Tuesday Jul 24, 2018
We will take a much closer look at the Deep State actors at the center of this “fundamental transformation” of America from a free market, constitutional republic to a global system of total control from cradle to grave. America in the 21st Century is facing the political reality that we have nearly lost our nation to the forces of Marxism and communism that have been hard at work attacking traditional American institutions from within, all the while pretending to die with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the former Soviet Union. Communism is stronger today in America than at any time in history and now permeates every agency and aspect of the Washington D.C. swamp. With the election of Donald J. Trump, the Deep State players lost control of the single party scam known as Democrat/Republican politics, and for the first time in many decades do not totally control the office of the President of The United States. The “fundamental transformation of America” which started more than a century ago and was very nearly completed under Barack Obama, stumbled on November 8, 2016, and has been staggering ever since. Hear from two very informed researchers and experts in the globalist war against the humanity known as The New World Order.

Terrorist or Patriot-stand against the Federal Leviathan
Tuesday Jun 12, 2018
Tuesday Jun 12, 2018
Our guests will be: Author and Public Speaker Michael Stickler who will be talking about his latest autobiographical book Cliven Bundy – American Patriot. Stickler met Cliven Bundy in the Southern Nevada Detention Center and spent 2 months interviewing and assembling the information to write an honest and detailed autobiography of the man labeled as a Domestic Terrorist by Harry Reed and the BLM. This autobiography is the story of a family that decided it had no option but to take a last stand to protect the Western ranching tradition from a Federal leviathan hell bent on absolute control of every aspect of our lives, especially our property. His stand is a case study in what could happen to anyone willing to stand against Federal Land Agency Bureaucrats, and why it is important to be willing to make that stand. The Federal machine has become much too powerful, with a total disregard for the uniquely American tradition of private property and constitutional republican government. After hearing this radio program you are tasked with deciding for yourself......is Cliven Bundy a terrorist or a patriot.
