A RETURN TO REASON?
Tuesday Dec 10, 2024
Tuesday Dec 10, 2024
https://danhappel.com/a-return-to-reason/The 2024 Presidential election provides a new opportunity to end control of government by globalists and the Military Industrial Complex.
The International/National Military Industrial Complex in collusion with the CIA, NSA, NIH, UN, WEF, WHO and various agencies and special interests ad infinitum, are working overtime to achieve their goal of full spectrum dominance and control of the human race through any means at their disposal.
The constant attacks on traditional American institutions of: marriage, family, society, religion and patriotism might seem coincidental to some; especially those suffering from cognitive dissonance and inability to Connect the Dots.

INSTITUTIONAL CENSORSHIP
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
https://danhappel.com/the-puppet-masters/America is being “fundamentally transformed” from a sovereign nation functioning as a constitutional republic to just another progressive Marxist cog on the wheel of Globalism.
The Puppet Masters learned long ago that the best way to control public perception is through capture of our most trusted institutions; thereby installing a hierarchy of leaders willing to conform to perverse ideologies in exchange for money and power.
Once those leaders are in place, controlling public opinion through manipulation/censorship becomes "easy peasy".
This malignant formula to gain control of society has worked almost flawlessly since the beginning of time.

AMERICA IN NAME ONLY

Friday Mar 22, 2024
https://danhappel.com/america-in-name-only/Have we become America in name only? Are we willing as Americans to stand and resist the forces destroying our republic?
Are we really America in name only, or are we still a shining beacon of freedom for the entire world?
If we are to look at America 2024 objectively, it would be very difficult to say that we are more than a small remnant of the great constitutional republic our founders originally crafted.

Restoring Intellectual Freedom
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
https://danhappel.com/american-culture-wokeness-in-higher-education/Reasserting our academic excellence will not be easy, but we have so many tools available today if we choose to use them. Parents have to choose a different path for their children than business as usual and trust in a system that is clearly failing to meet the academic standards of a modern free market advanced society.
Our future as a sovereign republic depends on us to set new standards for our children and grandchildren in a world of uniformity and groupthink!
Are we committed to the task and willing to risk being labeled as domestic extremists by the FBI for protecting our children from Marxist ideologues? I certainly hope so!
American Universities have been transformed from institutions of classical liberal education to become incubators of Marxist indoctrination through a very deliberate process of infiltration and gradualism.
Subsequently, universities have become hotbeds of radical societal transformation that place academic standards secondary to social justice, global citizenship, sustainability, and environmental justice groupthink. Critical thinkers need not apply here!
The “fundamental transformation” of education did not stop at the university level. Modern K-12 public education emphasizes Soviet style work skills training and consensus, not intellectual excellence and personal achievement.
Guest: Peter W. Wood has served as president of the National Association of Scholars (NAS) since 2009. He was associate professor of anthropology at Boston University, where he also served as the president’s chief of staff; and he served as provost of The King’s College (NYC).
He is editor-in-chief of the journal Academic Questions. In 2019, he received the Jeane Kirkpatrick Prize for contributions to academic freedom.
He is editor-in-chief of NAS’s quarterly, Academic Questions, and writes frequently for Spectator World, The New Criterion, The Claremont Review of Books, American Greatness, and other publications. His topics include intellectual freedom, wokeness in higher education, the DEI movement, climate hysteria, and American culture.

THE RISE AND FALL OF EMPIRES ~ USA
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
https://danhappel.com/founding-fathers-avoiding-international-military-commitments/ Our Founding Fathers were adamant about avoiding international military commitments on behalf of foreign nations. Why did we fail to listen to them?
The word “empire” projects an image of a colossus built by military conquest that harkens back to the time of the Caesars and Alexander the Great. There have been many empires in the history of humanity.
A common thread with empire is a quest for great power and unwillingness to hold back on projecting that power once acquired.
We were to prosper as a nation of free men unchained from foreign entanglements, and what the founders feared most; unbacked fiat money controlled by private Central Bankers.
Guest: Brad Miller – is a West Point graduate and former lieutenant colonel in the United States Army. He served as a battalion commander at the time the Dept of Defense covid-19 vaccine mandate went into effect.
He was relieved of command for refusing to comply with the mandate. He subsequently resigned from the Army with just over 19 years of active service.
Brad is an outspoken voice for truth and freedom and encourages others to join the cause for liberty and is happy to discuss the current state of the military in terms of readiness. Brad will discuss the aftermath of the vaccine mandate and the “moral injury” as well as physical injuries that have resulted.
He will also talk about what he thinks in terms of military preparation for the conflict in the Middle East currently heating up and will discuss the intangibles such as the low state of morale across the force.
Guest: Major General Joe Arbuckle (ret) ~ MG Arbuckle entered the Army as a private in 1969. Following basic training ,went through advanced individual training and Officer Candidate School as a combat engineer. He deployed to Viet Nam as an infantry 1st lieutenant, serving as an infantry advisor Team 22 with the South Vietnamese Army.
Thereafter, he attended ordnance missile system training and spent most of his career in the missile field. During his last 10 years on duty he served as an Army strategist full or part-time, focusing on national level strategy and logistics at the highest levels.
Gen Arbuckle commanded units in CONUS and overseas at every rank from Lieutenant to Major General (first command in Vietnam). He stayed in the Army 32 years because he liked the challenges, excitement, variety of jobs, high levels of responsibility and most of all- his time spent with soldiers.

WHAT WE SAY MATTERS ~ (Your Children)
Monday Nov 06, 2023
Monday Nov 06, 2023
https://danhappel.com/what-you-say-to-your-children-really-matters/At a time when the world seems to be spinning out of control, maintaining and strengthening family relationships makes perfect sense.
It's especially gratifying when you realize that your words aren't falling on deaf ears and your children are paying attention to what you say.
It's even better when they start rattling off information you haven't yet heard and offer fresh perspectives to counter the counterculture of WOKEism.
That's when you realize that what you say to your children really matters, and maybe some of the seeds you plant along the way actually bear fruit.

RETURNING GOVERNMENT TO WE THE PEOPLE
Saturday Nov 04, 2023
Saturday Nov 04, 2023
https://danhappel.com/tools-to-establish-and-maintain-limited-self-government/Our Founding Fathers championed the power of individuals and gave us the tools to establish and maintain limited self-government. It's time to take them out, dust them off, and invest the time, sweat and blood needed to restore limited self government for the future of America. If we fail to act, all we have to lose is life, liberty and happiness for our children, grandchildren and the rest of humanity.
Americans have amazing power as individual citizens and working together with local governments we have the power to return control back to "We the People". It is our responsibility to end constitutional ignorance with knowledge and empowerment through education.
The reason that we have lost so many of the rights guaranteed under our Constitution is not from a faulty document, it is from the failure of generations of elected officials to honor their oath of office, and an increasingly demanding, ignorant and disconnected electorate that fails to hold elected representatives personally responsible for countless bad decisions and for reprehensible oversight of the public trust.
Guest: Greg Smith - SAVE YOUR CITIES – Tools to Take back your Community. Greg spent 3-1/2 Years in US Navy including during the evacuation of Saigon in 1975. Greg's working career was as a Range Management Technician (grazing) with the BLM in the mountains of southwestern Montana. This was his first exposure to Agenda 21 programs. With help from other great patriots in MN, he began to gather information on the WHO, WHY, AND HOW of the UN backed enemy called sustainability and public education.
Guest: Rick Willey - Born 1945, raised on a SD cattle ranch with a patriotic German American family and WWII veteran father. Rick graduated with a BA in History, and double minor in Civics, and Psychology, spent 2 years in the USAF during Viet Nam. In 2019 Rick started the Constitutional Organization of McLeod County MN and put together the Common Law information that he uses for Constitutional Township and Metropolital Ward training based on the codified law within the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

OATHKEEPERS vs OATHBREAKERS
Monday Oct 23, 2023
Monday Oct 23, 2023
https://danhappel.com/all-enemies-foreign-and-domestic/It is time for a new and dedicated group of true Oath Keepers to stand for liberty and justice for all by reaffirming fidelity to our common oath to protect and defend our nation and Constitution against all enemies foreign and (especially) DOMESTIC.
The demonization of anyone calling themselves Oath Keepers started early in the Obama Administration when Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano at the suggestion of The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) put together her official list of domestic extremist groups including Ron Paul supporters, people identified as constitutionists, OathKeepers and virtually all others believing that government was meant to serve the people, not the other way around.
The message of the Oath Keepers organization was always one of fidelity to our sovereign nation the US Constitution and the oath to “protect and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic”.
This is the same oath that members of our military, police, state and federal elected officials are required to take prior to serving or holding public office.
Pretty simple idea really; too bad that the Marxists within academia, mainstream media and the Deep State government want to destroy any adherents to that basic and patriotic standard.

IS "DEMOCRACY" ABOUT STEALING ELECTIONS? The past thirty years have witnessed radical changes in our political process and the "fundamental transformation" of America.
Several months after blowing the whistle the FBI retaliated by violating his civil rights through unconstitutional surveillance and then raided his home, confiscating his personal property, victimizing his family through intimidation and a vicious smear campaign.
Guest: Nate Cain. Nate is willing to again risk it all to run for Congress in what is sure to be a difficult campaign against the West Virginia political establishment. Other than a city council seat in a very small township in Pennsylvania, Nate is an outsider to political office, currently has no establishment machine or major donors behind him, does not come from a politically connected family, and has never worked as part of the DC Swamp. Nate is an underdog candidate and is willing to throw punches against the Goliaths of government, which is just the way Mountaineers like their fighters.
In Nate's career as cybersecurity expert of 26 years , he has worked for the Army, Navy, Marines, Defense Information Systems Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, receiving medals and service commendations in several positions. Nate has taken the oath three times, once as a soldier and twice as a Department of Defense civilian. He has held and still holds a Top Secret security clearance for 25 of those years, having been entrusted with protection and security of the Nation and its secrets.https://danhappel.com/nate-cain-for-congress/

EMPHASIZING A GODLY AMERICA
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
The Protestant Reformation and unalienable (God given) rights are essential elements of the American system of government “of, by, and for the people”.
The ability to speak freely and to think as you wish is as fundamental to private property as any land titles or personal possessions.
Guest: Nathan Descheemaeker – and his family raise registered feeder calves in Central Montana. Nathan is the Chairman of the Montana Grass Commission and a Senior Research Associate and Policy Analyst specializing in federal and local government administrative procedures, land and natural resource policymaking, local governmental relations, and program management. Nathan is also an accomplished musician and a self taught theologian with a love for the classics. Nathan has worked with local governments to identify and challenge attacks on small farm and ranch operations facing increased pressure and regulation by forces and groups outside of Montana, and more importantly, outside of the United States.

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.

Uniparty Politics with Bill Coate - Colonel USMS (ret)
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
The left/right paradigm is used as a mechanism to manage society through a false sense that we can "throw the bums out" to make things better.!
When we try to identify heros and villians from the American political class, it always seems to end with the same tired partisan arguments about key Democrat and Republican differences. Fox talk show host Shawn Hannity has turned partisan politics into a fine art with his "Republicans good - Democrats bad" diatribes. He is not alone, but most mainstream news outlets preach the opposite gospel.
When we turn over the rocks to expose the creatures under them, we find that although there might be a minor political difference, most are on board with government control and progressive ideology. In fact, most Establishment Republicans are as dangerous to Americans as the Marxist Democrat Party, because they deceive conservative voters by claiming to be pro-constitutionalists and conservatives when they are not.
The Establishment Republican Party is lousy with globalist Neo-Cons that are ideological fascists, not individualists, and regularly promote a form of "crony capitalism" that transfers power to international corporations, global bankers, and U.N. sanctioned special interest groups. They believe in "free markets" only within the framework of a progressive big-tent ideology that cares more about campaign contributions and attracting liberal voters than about anything else.
To understand the key differences between Establishment Democrats and Establishment Republicans, we need to step back and reflect on the differences between communists and fascists. Both are socialists, but communists believe in absolute government control of every element of society, where fascists believe in a forced marriage between government and business with elements of private ownership kept under strict government control.
Under fascism, government picks the winners and losers where communists make sure everyone loses equally. Neither is close to the system guaranteed under our Constitution.
High profile NeoCons like Mitch McConnell, Dick Cheney, the entire Bush Family, Mitt Romney, John McCain and countless others have done nearly as much to destroy our republic as their Marxist fellow travelers: Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton; they've just done it in more clandestine ways. They play the game of good cop/ bad cop taking turns playing President as the America of our Founders circles the drain.
An honest look at the two main political parties give us little choice but to realize that actual differences are illusory. If you find that hard to believe, just look at the hand selected candidates that make it to the national political stage. Populist Republicans like Ron Paul, Marjorie Taylor Green or Donald Trump are rare indeed, and are usually attacked with the same visceral contempt by their establishment core that seems to eminate from the overtly Marxist Democrats.
A good look at the "never Trumpers" is much like looking at the soul of Establishment Republican politics; NeoCon fascists and globalists to the core.
The New World Order is the mantra of Democrat and Establishment Republican politicians alike; it's just a matter of interpreting how we get there. The 2023 Democrats are committed communists, believing in utopian socialist World Government run by technocrats for the supposed common good of humanity.
In their world, personal property and national borders will no longer exist and all wealth and resources will be shared equally in a very austere de-industrialized "green" world. They see unlimited abortion, genocidal depopulation schemes and re-education camps as necessary to save the planet from the human cancer they hate so much. This system will apply to all except themselves and their wealthy and powerful friends that made sure they got elected.
Establishment Republicans on the other hand are committed fascists, in favor of world government run by bankers, lawyers, industrialists and technocrats for the benefit of an enlightened elite, with society scientifically managed from cradle to grave. Although they favor having a few more consumer options and personal choices under their fascist scheme, they support a system run by technocrats capable of managing human nature for the benefit of a powerful elite group of bankers/industrialists. Both parties accept U.S. control by internationalists and intend to cancel America as a sovereign nation.
They ultimately want to discard or totally re-write the US Constitution as is evidenced by their complete lack of fealty to their oath of office and mutual calls for an Article 5 Constitutional Convention. They both ignore that we are a constitutional republic and parrot the American system of government as "our democracy", although that is the farthest thing from the original intent of the Founders.
We are left with few options until we end the charade called 2 party politics. The lesser of 2 evils always ends in evil, it just takes a bit longer for right/left paradigm true believers to understand how badly they have been getting screwed by establishment politicians of both parties. Americans need to have their come to Jesus moment about the depth of the problem and quit listening to any establishment insiders when selecting candidates for office.
You can rest assured that any candidate promoted by the establishment are selected because they will protect the establishment from we the people and are reliably pro- establishment; precisely why they were hand picked. We must give up on the illusion that America can be fixed if we just win the next election or get a few more Republicans in office. This will only cheat the hangman by a few years.
The system is permanently broken and the only viable option is to purge the 2 party system and drain the 2 million strong D.C. swamp of socialist acolytes. Anything less will accomplish little and only extend the long and painful death of America.

MANUFACTURED HATE IS KILLING AMERICA
Wednesday May 24, 2023
Wednesday May 24, 2023
Pastor Jesse Boyd, his 12 year old son Josiah Boyd, 18 year old daughter Bethany Boyd & family friend Eric Trent were walking across America on a mission to alert Americans of the need to stand up for our rights to freedom to worship, to witness for the Lord, repent and seek his forgiveness and personal salvation.
After traveling nearly 5,500 miles, the travelers were in Southwestern Montana when they were subjected to a very frightening and emotional experience that could have ended in tragedy.
Hear their story and how anger and unwarranted hostility is shaking the roots of our culture in ways that illustrate just how far we have strayed from truth and religious tolerance.

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.

Wanting Accountable Government Is NOT Domestic TERRORISM!
Friday Jan 13, 2023
Friday Jan 13, 2023
https://danhappel.com/wanting-accountable-government-is-not-domestic-terrorism/
The progressive socialists and globalists controlling our government are the actual domestic terrorists.
A fundamental transformation of American constitutional government and the criminal justice system has occurred over the past 60 years.
Now that oath breaking and criminally negligent "elected" political hacks and their Marxist minions in the bureaucratic morass known as the D.C. Swamp are once again in charge, a resurgent policy of shielding the guilty and condemning the innocent is at hand.
Their zeal to vilify and condemn anyone questioning their authority is overtly pathological............but, with the complete support of the Mockingbird Media and Marxist academics, they no longer need to conceal it.

WHO ARE THE GOOD GUYS?&WHO ARE THE BAD GUYS?
The "shadow government" has had significant presence for much of our existence as a nation. Money = power = influence = corruption = control; a very simple formula to define how the total sellout of the political process happened.
Big business, big banking and special interests have bought and paid for the U.S. political system with the willing help of the useful idiots and high I.Q. nitwits of the left.
The America that we all thought we knew has ceased to exist.
The question is whether it might somehow be brought back to life?
