After an overview of the Term Limits and Balanced Budget Article V Convention movements, he looks closer at the Convention of States Project’s three-topic plan and explains why this “solution” is nowhere near as big as the problem.For a full description of this episode, including a list of links to referenced material, visit:https://unsafespace.com/rebel-civics-2023-5-24 2023-05-2448 min

Trigger warning - this is not a Back The Blue episode. Always remember the job of the police is to support and defend the government, keeping the people in check following the whims and agenda of the politicians. Police are government enforcers, with monopoly power on initiation of force, using the tools of guns and cages.

Kennedy warned the Empire that he is going to be talking about a lot of topics they don’t want to discuss, saying “this is what happens” when they censor someone for 18 years.

Unsafe Space on Odysee[Rebel Civics] The Truth About Tax DayApril 18 is Theft Day for 2023. Also known as tax day, income taxes are due. Behind the IRS tax form is a gun. The IRS has 5 million rounds of ammunition. Why? Because income tax is theft. Keith discusses what income tax really is, its history, the 1788 Constitution’s prohibition on income tax, and the effect of the states in 1913 handing the federal government the new power of income taxation.For a full description of this episode, including a list of links to referenced material, visit:https://unsafespace.com/rebel-civics-2023-4-19About Rebel Civ...2023-04-1943 min

Unsafe Space on Odysee[Rebel Civics] Who Done It?The sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022 remains unsolved, yet on March 27, 2023 the US government blocked the Russian formal request for an independent UN investigation. Keith reviews the pipelines, the potential culprits accused so far (Russia govt, US Navy/CIA, six sailors on a rented boat), and discusses the plausibility for each. Evidently DC does not want the UN to poke around in this business - it could get messy. Does this make you wonder if the US government knows who did it, doesn’t want us to know, and would rather the question fade from th...2023-04-121h 40

Mike is Chair of the Polk County Libertarian Party, and an admin of the FLexit Facebook group. Should FL divorce Washington DC? What are some of the issues to resolve, and how might they be handled? Is Florida big enough/rich enough/strong enough to be independent? Is peacefully leaving the union legal and constitutional? Will national divorce start a war? We answer these questions, with backup data on an independent Florida. In a wide-ranging discussion we review several common arguments against secession of a U...2023-03-292h 46

Eric has been working to hold a citizen’s referendum in his county, voting to leave IL and become part of Missouri. We discuss the practical matter of passing an intrastate secession shifting state lines, the harder sell of a full state secession by leaving the union, and some secession variations in between. The irreconcilable differences in Illinois are highlighted by socialist, crime-ridden Chicago vs the large rural conservative areas, with st...2023-03-151h 47

Politician and media response is to act as if everyone knows it may have come from the lab, the problem is the Chinese government and the lack of international safety regulations, and the reason we need to know what happened is to prepare for the next pandemic.

Yes, a state can constitutionally leave the union based the state and people’s decision alone. This principle is recognized by both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The Declaration is a secessionist document - not a founding one. But secession is not included in the version of history taught in the government schools today. The victor's schools teach the opposite, because the US government won the War for Southern Independence. As is true in all of history, the wi...2023-03-011h 07

Contrary to popular belief the holiday was NOT changed by Congress. Celebrating the birthday of all presidents is worship of the power of the King, and a celebration of the King himself. The “Presidents Day” holiday honoring the birth of all presidents is the required holiday of a monarchy, where the King’s Birthday is the most important day of the year.

Hersh’s plausible story and reported culprit should be one of the biggest news stories of today, yet a week after publication we mostly see crickets from legacy media. Everyone seems to be assigned to the China Balloon story. The CIA and White House denied involvement (surpassed?).

The politically left majority counties would leave these united states, forming an independent sovereign country operating under progressive ideologies with a 3:1 starting majority of left-leaning voters. The rest of the counties would remain in the US as the state of California, becoming a swing state with an even mix of politically left, right, and independent voters.For a full description of this episode, including a list of links to r...2023-02-082h 01

Widely claimed to “free all slaves” by those promoting the Lincoln Myth, his proclamation did *not* free nearly a million slaves in the united states. Lincoln specifically exempted from freedom every slave in every place he had legal authority in. Be skeptical when a politician attempts to claim a moral high ground.

Unsafe Space on Odysee[Rebel Civics] The Truth About the Welfare ClauseThe Constitution’s “welfare clause” is frequently used to claim the federal government can lawfully fund 80+ social welfare programs. This claim requires ignoring the Constitution’s limits on the funding powers of Congress. Keith explains why the claim is both false and absurd, why every federal welfare program is unconstitutional, and why nearly $1T/year in unlawful federal spending would be eliminated if Congress abided by the contractual legal requirements they have sworn to uphold.For a full description of this episode, including a list of links to referenced material, visit:https://unsafespace.com/rebel-civics-2022-12-21 2022-12-211h 22
