Reclaiming the Republic

AMERICAN EMPIRE OR REPUBLIC?

The building of a new British Empire was never in the founding vision for America. Why are we moving in that direction? Recent military/police actions in Venezuela to blockade shipping and arrest Nicolas Maduro are being justified as necessary, but what are we doing when we talk about occupying and running a country larger than Texas with 26 million pissed off people, and why are we threatening to do the same to Columbia, Cuba, and Bolivia?
Moreover, Trump is still talking openly about annexing and/or buying Greenland from the Danes and incorporating significant parts of Canada as our 51st state. Is he nuts......or is this just part of the Kabuki Theater that increasingly surrounds this President? Is there a 3D chess match methodology to the madness that us mere mortals can't comprehend, or is he really so cheeky and filled with hubris that he's willing to play Russian roulette with our future? I have supported President Trump in many things, but it is very difficult to understand, let alone justify, overt acts of Imperialism in direct contradiction to our historical constitutional mandate.
There are many dots that need to be connected to learn the truth, but first we must find the dots...

America at the Crossroads: Lawfare, Immigration, and the Fight for Sovereignty

In this hard-hitting episode, guest host Mark Sutherland brings together two frontline political fighters from Oklahoma and Texas to confront the accelerating crises reshaping the American landscape. The conversation pulls no punches, exposing the coordinated pressures being applied on our institutions, our communities, and even our food supply, all part of a broader struggle over sovereignty in the 21st century.
Mark bridges UK and US activism, bringing on two candidates, JJ (Oklahoma) and Doc/Michael (Texas), for a raw conversation about:
Weaponized lawfare
State-vs-federal sovereignty
Immigration and demographic warfare
Revival of accountability inside the U.S. military
mRNA in livestock
Corporate capture of the food supply
Globalist attacks on property rights, farming, and national identity
Islamization of American cities
The spiritual warfare layer behind all of this
This episode has three layers happening at once:
Political ground game (state-level warfare)
Deep-state vs. constitutional order (lawfare, DOD, borders)
Civilizational struggle (values, demographics, sovereignty)
The guests outline how lawfare has replaced legitimate governance, weaponizing indictments, selective prosecution, and bureaucratic intimidation to silence political opponents. Rather than accept this as the new normal, states like Oklahoma and Texas are beginning to build multi-state legal alliances, forming the backbone of a new constitutional resistance.
Beyond the courtroom, the episode dives into the demographic battles unfolding across America. The rapid transformation of cities through unmanaged migration is no longer a future concern, it’s visible now in formerly stable communities from Michigan to Texas. As Mark notes, these changes aren’t random; they follow well-established patterns seen in Europe and the UK, reflecting a global strategy rather than isolated local events.
The guests also expose the biomedical and agricultural front of this struggle: unlawful military vaccine mandates that caused widespread injury, mRNA technology quietly entering the livestock supply, and corporate cartels tightening their grip on beef, pork, and poultry. Food, like energy and medicine, is becoming another lever of control and independent farmers are being squeezed out to make room for global “sustainability” regimes.
Guest: JJ: Candidate from Oklahoma. Former law enforcement background; active in exposing public corruption. Leading efforts to coordinate multi-state legal pushback against lawfare, selective prosecution, and constitutional violations. Known for bold state sovereignty initiatives, including investigations into unlawful federal mandates.
Guest: Doc / Michael: Texas Candidate & Military Whistleblower. Former military officer and medical professional who publicly exposed unlawful vaccine mandates inside the U.S. military. Testified in the high-profile SEALs v. DOD case, which helped overturn mandate policies for religious exemptions. Provides firsthand data on neurological injuries linked to forced vaccination programs and ongoing military accountability efforts.

WHEN THE NEXT SHOE DROPS

As we wonder when the next shoe will drop, we had best realize that this time the shoe might actually be a boot and it might drop right in the middle of our face, just like O'Brien described in the classic novel 1984.
The world we thought we knew has been fundamentally transforming before our eyes until it represents the exact opposite of the traditional American society based in faith, family, fairness, fundamental truths, and rule of law.
In the newspeak world of doublethink, being WOKE is the antithesis of being awake, and the new meaning of being liberal is being opposed to anything that represents common sense or the traditional values that were developed over several millenniums. To them, freedom equates to facism, and collectivism equates to freedom. This is what George Orwell called doublethink.
We must understand and resist the destructive nature of this Godless culture of self righteous do-gooders that are convinced that none of us deserve to live unless we accept their narcessitic cult of cultural Marxism that hates anyone who refuses to accept their suicidal and destructive plan for humanity.
To attempt to meet halfway with these sociopaths would result in national suicide.
There is no such thing as negotiation when dealing with Marxists. Life to them is a zero sum game where compromise is merely a negotiating tactic on the road to eventually getting their way..........100% THEIR WAY.
The next shoe is about to drop and we would be well advised to react before it does. Our children and grandchildren will shoulder a much more onerous responsibility and live in a much oppresive world should we fail. It is up to us!

PAINFUL TRUTH & THE POWER OF DISCERNMENT

Trent Leisy, COO of the American Rights Alliance, joins to lay bare the weaponization of the legal system against patriots, parents, whistleblowers, and truth-tellers. From the unjust targeting of Tina Peters and James O’Keefe to the heartbreaking case of Shana Gabriel, who was criminally charged for protecting her own child from radical gender ideology, Americans are witnessing a blatant assault on natural rights and due process.
In the second half, Dr. Henry Makow, historian and author of the Illuminati book series, exposes the deeply embedded networks of power—Zionism, Freemasonry, and technocratic globalism—that are dismantling Western civilization from within. He traces a coordinated campaign to erase God, destroy the family, and enslave humanity through endless wars, propaganda, and engineered crises.
The global elites do not fear elections, they fear an informed and morally grounded citizenry. The hour is late, and silence is complicity.
Key Topics:
Lawfare and political persecution in the United States
Parental rights vs. state-driven gender ideology
Election integrity and the persecution of whistleblowers
The spiritual roots of the globalist agenda
Controlled opposition, QAnon, and the danger of passive patriotism
Zionism, Chabad influence, and the war against national sovereignty
The moral and constitutional imperative of citizen action
Books:
Illuminati: The Cult that Hijacked the World – by Dr. Henry Makow
A foundational book that claims to expose the hidden hand of Freemasonry, Zionism, and secret societies behind global control mechanisms.
Illuminati Volume II: Deceit and Seduction – by Dr. Henry Makow
Follow-up to the first volume, expanding on globalist tactics and psychological manipulation.
Satanic Protocols of Zion: Updated & Annotated Version – Referenced but not clearly titled
Makow refers to an updated version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, claiming it outlines current strategies of elite domination. (Controversial and often criticized; Makow presents it as predictive literature.)

According to Dr. Vieira the solution is simple and extremely cost effective.

TECHNOCRACY & POPULISM

https://danhappel.com/technocracy-populism/Americans might rejoice at the re-election of President Trump, but they must also be watchful so we never again return to the despotism of the past.
That is why I asked Patrick Wood to return and provide additional insight into Elon Musk and other Trump nominees that he may have specific reasons to question. We must never doubt the Lord's ability to change hearts and provide joyful epiphany to even the darkest soul, but we should also never be fearful of searching for or hearing truth, or of testing and accepting it when thus provided.

PREVENTING DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN

https://danhappel.com/preventing-deja-vu-all-over-again/America has one last chance to get it right and it is up to all Americans to become the patriots and guardians that make it happen. The success or failure of a second Trump term in office will hinge on two things: the consistency of his support by average Americans & the level of deception of the RINO Party (aka Establishment Republican Party) in supporting Trump and his nominees for top Cabinet/Administration positions.

Lawfare against perceived enemies of the Democratic/Republican Establishment and proponents of global socialism must be stopped!
It is not enough to say “OK we won”. If we fail to pull the curtain completely back to expose the corruption, then fail to hold accountable all traitors to the lawful conduct of constitutional responsibilities, the problem will never go away and will return like a metastasizing cancer until they destroy America.
The Founding Fathers gave us the tools to mete justice to anyone trying to destroy us from within. The crime of TREASON is well defined and should be dealt with in an appropriate way.
We must not be vindictive, but we must be firm in seeking true justice, using our equal justice system to mete true justice under the law for all American…….even corrupt politicians.

ARE WE A NATION IN NAME ONLY?

https://danhappel.com/are-we-a-nation-in-name-only/America is currently in free-fall, but we can save her with resolve and the clear understanding that we have no time to waste. We must be willing to sacrifice and risk our: lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in defense of the republic our forebears created with blood, sweat and tears.
It's not a question of whether we have lost American national sovereignty, It's a matter of whether we can win it back.
The fact that America has been increasingly controlled by globalists and technocrats for the past 100+ years is no longer a question for debate amongst pragmatic political historians.
Frankly, the only reason that we have survived as a nation-state for as long as we have, is the ongoing fear of being lynched or shot for treason for colluding with other globalists that have done everything in their power to circumvent or destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
That fear of exposure has kept our professional political class from openly embracing collectivism until all the pieces were in place to “fundamentally transform” our culture from free markets and capitalism to a full embrace of Marxism.

PRESERVING OUR BIRTHRIGHT - life liberty & property

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.

Preaching to the Choir...

https://danhappel.com/preaching-to-the-choir/Although I might be accused of preaching to the choir, it's time for the choir to start preaching to others so the choir becomes the whole congregation and we all start singing together. We have a moral and social obligation to speak truthfully, and if we lack the knowledge to do so, have the moral/national consciousness to read, research and learn from others until we can articulate a rational point of view that defends American exceptionalism and national sovereignty.....not as unelected technocrats tells us we must live.
Ignorance is never a rational excuse for intelligent people to muddle around stupidly repeating the same old socialist dictums. Especially when there are almost unlimited opportunities to seek the truth; at least until the Administrative State of America takes them away.
Wake up Americans and save yourselves and our great nation while there is still time!

Propaganda and the Quest for Truth

https://danhappel.com/media-manipulation-social-division/In this episode of "Connecting the Dots," guest host David Summerall is joined by Mark Sutherland to unpack the January 6th events, discuss the challenges faced by protestors, and examine the ongoing political and social divisions in America. They reflect on media manipulation, the role of propaganda, and the importance of unity and understanding in overcoming the nation's current turmoil. Tune in for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about resilience, truth, and the power of community.
Media Manipulation and Propaganda: The conversation highlights the pervasive role of media manipulation and propaganda in shaping public perception, particularly regarding the events of January 6th. Both speakers emphasize the need for critical thinking and skepticism towards mainstream narratives.
Role of Dan Happel: Dan Happel's significant contributions in providing a platform for discussing controversial topics and connecting like-minded individuals are praised, emphasizing his impact on bringing the truth to light.
Truth About January 6th: The discussion sheds light on the police actions during the January 6th protests, portraying the protestors as victims of unwarranted aggression. It calls for a reevaluation of the mainstream narrative that labels protestors as violent insurrectionists.
Challenges Faced by Protestors: The speakers discuss the harsh realities faced by January 6th protestors, including imprisonment for thought crimes and guilt by association. They stress the importance of supporting these individuals and recognizing their plight.
Importance of Language: The conversation underscores the power of language and how terms like "patriot" and "insurrectionist" are weaponized to manipulate public opinion and divide the populace.
Political and Social Divisions: The speakers discuss the deep political and social divisions in America, attributing much of the discord to intentional efforts by political elites to divide and control the population.
Critique of Political Figures: The conversation includes a critical examination of political figures and movements, questioning the authenticity and motives of leaders who claim to represent the people while engaging in manipulative tactics.
Impact of Propaganda Laws: The speakers reflect on the re-legalization of propaganda during the Obama administration and its implications for contemporary political discourse and media practices.
Church's Role and Responsibility: The discussion criticizes the church's response to the January 6th events, arguing that religious institutions have failed to support protestors and stand up for truth and justice.
Call for Unity and Action: The conversation ends with a call for unity, urging listeners to engage in local activism, support each other, and strive for a just and truthful representation of events. The speakers emphasize the need for grassroots efforts to reclaim the narrative and promote genuine understanding and reconciliation.

HOW, WHEN & WHY they want to destroy our liberty

https://danhappel.com/how-when-why-they-want-to-destroy-our-liberty/America is suffering from a total lack of responsible leadership and political lawfare replacing rule of law.
It's time for all true Americans to take a stand to defend a sovereign United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; especially the domestic ones in our midst who are multiplying like rabbits.

AMERICA IN NAME ONLY

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.

ELECTION FORENSICS

https://danhappel.com/election-forensics-restore-integrity-paper-ballots/
Election fraud is certainly nothing new! As long as there have been elections, unscrupulous politicians have been figuring out ways to manipulate the vote in their favor, much to the chagrin of their political opponents and the many voters seeking fair and open elections.
Before computers the opportunity to rig elections was there but was limited in scale and was easier to spot by alert election officials.
Clearly, the adaptation of electronic vote tabulation and the nearly universal acceptance of computer programs to manage all records and assure accuracy, has thrown a new wrinkle into election integrity, but that is only part of the story.

DEFEATING HELL

https://danhappel.com/defeating-hell/Every day we experience new disclosures tying the CIA, NSA, DOD, DARPA, Justice Department and the FBI to political intrigues here at home and around the world.
The world is very complex, but we now stand at a time in history where limitless factual information is at our fingertips……….at least for now! We must be willing to open our minds and eyes to a reality much different than what we have been spoon fed by generations of hand picked propagandists.
Moreover, we must not allow manipulation and censorship of the internet by anyone or anything, and be willing to defend liberty with our lives and sacred honor.
Above all, we must seek the Lord's wisdom and help through prayer to defeat Satan and his evil spawn.
