PRESERVING OUR BIRTHRIGHT - life liberty & property
Saturday Oct 12, 2024
Saturday Oct 12, 2024
https://danhappel.com/plan-to-destroy-all-private-property-including-farming-and-ranching/Do they really plan to destroy all private property including farming and ranching that produces much of America's meat and produce? In a word “YES”, and they plan to do it very soon.
They have made it clear that all food, right down to the last gram will be produced by corporations that they own and control. After all, if they totally own and control the means of food production right down to the last calorie, do you really think that anyone will be able to resist their control?
The unrestricted ability to own property is key to understanding what makes Americans different from every other country in the world, including many "democratic" European nations.
The right to own property is not limited to land or possessions, it includes the right to own our thoughts and opinions, as well as total control over our own bodies.

BEVIS v BUTTHEADS
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
Tuesday Jan 09, 2024
https://danhappel.com/challenging-napervilles-ban-on-assault-rifles/To exercise complete control over a population, government must first deny individuals the right of self-defense; this our Founding Fathers knew well from the extensive efforts by the British Crown to disarm the colonists prior to and during the Revolutionary War.
Throughout history, the golden rule of totalitarian governments is to disarm their citizens, then restrict their right to any form of self-defense.
Marxists, communists, technocrats, crony capitalist-fascists and other enemies of individual rights have long recognized and hated America for its well defined role as the protector of individual liberty and the main opponent of totalitarianism.
Guest: Robert Bevis - Owner of Law Weapons and Supply in Naperville, Illinois, is challenging Naperville’s ban on assault rifles and a new state law that prohibits the sale of semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines. Robert moved to Naperville from Florida in 2012 by special invitation from the Naperville Mayor and employed 11 full time employees prior to the passage of this draconian ordinance in 2022. Since then he has spent nearly $500,000 in legal fees, lost nearly $3 million in revenue, and has laid off all but 2 full time employees.

(UN)INTENDED CONSEQUENCES with Major Tom Haviland USAF (ret)

https://danhappel.com/unintended-consequences/
A massive government propaganda campaign to identify anyone questioning vaccine mandates as conspiracy theorists has been unraveling at the seams.
Mounting evidence of intentionally under-reported vaccine injuries coupled with skyrocketing unexplained deaths among young and otherwise healthy adults, make it increasingly clear that the Covid "vaccines" may be much more deadly than the disease they were supposed to cure.
Are we being herded like sheep into the “new world order” of lockstep obedience; a steady diet of fear has converted a society of tough, independent, critical thinkers into a flock of mindless followers. Our Connecting the Dots podcast believes that unreasoned fear is the real virus destroying human society.
Only truth and accountability will cure this terrible sickness and save humanity from enslavement by greedy and autocratic men hell-bent on destroying most of humanity; transforming the rest into automatons to serve them.

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.

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.

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.

...severing their relationship with God, and putting faith in man.
If ever there was an important message that God fearing Americans and people of faith around the world need to hear, it is that faith can easily replace fear, and must do so for the sake of humanity.
Evil can only flourish in a climate of fear and isolation, while faith can flourish in good times or bad when we open our hearts to the will of God.
Fear and anger is the life source of evil people.
Their existence is enhanced by the misery and suffering of others; explaining their need for wars, bloodshed, laboratory created disease, starvation, persecution, and suffering, in a world of otherwise unlimited human, spiritual, intellectual and natural resources.
The next staged event is undoubtedly being planned or already underway. I don't know about you, but to me, anyone who even listens to these loons is probably a candidate for a rubber room or might be suffering from blood clots in the brain from their 4 or 5 Covid jabs. The most important lessons to be learned from the past 3 years is: never blindly follow anyone, question everyone, and put your faith in God........not in man.

LIFE IN THE Mega-City HIVE with Tom Deweese
Saturday Jul 01, 2023
Saturday Jul 01, 2023
https://danhappel.com/the-wrenching-transformation-of-america/Regional and local planners are moving ahead full speed with Agenda 21/2030 programs that destroy private property.
Moreover, planners seem to amplify the “one size fits all” thinking when planning in rural landscapes.
Many trained professional planners may have never seen an actual working farm, cow, horse, or chicken, yet are creating rules and regulations that affect rural life, the physical environment, and non-corporate agriculture in profound ways.
The hive planners that have surreptitiously created the conditions for urban sprawl, are trained to identify single family homes, cars and property ownership as the root cause of most urban problems.
Why; because Urban Planners are educated by Frankfurt School Marxists that copied the 1950s era Soviet Central Planning system, and were funded by progressives from Tax Exempt Foundations like The Rockefellers Trust to reduce and otherwise penalize property ownership……….except of course for themselves and their elite friends.
As we have repeatedly pointed out, Globalist plans for totalitarian rule hinge on the idea that individualism, liberty and rights to own property must be eliminated for the good of the collective, or more to the point, for the benefit of the totalitarians scheming to take down America and acquire all means of production.
The WAR on FEE ENTERPRISE, PRIVATE PROPERTY and INDIVIDUALS…
Agenda 21/2030 is nothing more or less than a vision of complete totalitarian control through the Trojan Horse narrative of sustainability and sustainable development.
Sustainability is firmly anchored in the old Marxist axiom that Capitalism is bad because free markets overproduce, so for the good of the collective and the environment, all production should be managed by the State.
Fear of environmental destruction blended with Marxist dogma surrounding private property and you have the perfect climate for state propaganda blended with utopian idealism to nurture a system of voluntary totalitarian control.
The lockstep Urban Planners are currently embracing a program called 15 minute cities, or walkable communities that feature stack & pack apartment complexes, usually 4 or 5 stories in height built over street level businesses.
The idea is that people who work in the businesses can live above them, requiring little effort, time or public transportation to commute.
Hmmm, that sounds disturbingly like a Nike shoe factory in Communist China like those that install nets outside the workroom windows to reduce job related suicides by workers.

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.

PROPERTY - owning or being?
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
American small farmers, ranchers and natural resource producers are targeted for elimination with virtually all public and much private land in the Western US becoming wilderness under Agenda 21/2030 and “Green New Deal” schemes.
Those who can't own property, are property.
A total understanding of what constitutes private property is so much more complex than most people realize; your labor, land ownership, personal belongings, your physical body, the freedom to reason and create, the right to express the opinions and ideas that come from your mind, are all forms of private property that must be defended at all cost.
Join us for a discussion about the future of private property and how government overreach into the lives of rural Americans has already transformed our nation and our culture into something quite unrecognizable to historical America……and what we can do to stop them from achieving their utopian goal of fundamental and total transformation”.

Take Over of the Words Financial System - (CBDC/UCC)
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Worldwide, lawyers, bankers and politicians are in a full court press to salvage what they created; failed fiat banking systems that steal assets and generate perpetual debt. The levels of debt are now overwhelming the ability to repay and must therefore transition to a new system that maintains their control without exposing their fraud.
This new scam will eliminate cash, the ability of consumers and regulators to effectively monitor the level of credit banks create, and will allow Central Bankers and their proteges to adopt a communist Chinese modeled "social credit" scoring system to monitor every single transaction on the planet.
With this new control mechanism, they will be able to monitor what you buy, where you buy it, what you eat, where you live, where you work, how much you earn, and what you do with the money you earn. In the near future AI will be integrated into the human brain through mRNA nano-technology (Vaccines) that will allow someone else to program what you think.
If this sounds far fetched, you had better spend more time reading and researching. Few Americans really understand the complexities of modern society.
This is not by accident, it is by design; ignorance being a very effective way to control humanity by capitalizing on their fear of the unknown.
Every state government must decide whether they stand with the common people or the fraudsters at the center of the problem. Montana has fallen victim to the sickening combination of Lawyer/Banker/Politicians and an ignorant public allowing to their elected officials to manipulate them.
Montana Senate Bill SB 370 sponsored by lawyers and bankers (CBDCs) passed easily through the Senate and is currently in the House Business and Labor Committee. If passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor, Montana will become the poster child for unbridled voter ignorance and "smartest guys on the planet" control being handed back to the very people who raped the financial system in the first place.
