I had the most remarkable conversation at dinner in Sydney with a Solari Report subscriber joining me on the road to Uluru. He said that what would take us through this period of change was divine enlightenment and inspiration.
I agree.
The reason, he said, to embrace the U.S. Constitution and the period of enlightenment that inspired it is to claim our full legacy of divine enlightenment – the divine inspiration that our ancestors have received throughout the ages. This is our inheritance – the accumulated wisdom of the proceeding generations.
We need it now.
To continue our discussions regarding the U.S. Constitution, I asked Dr. Edwin Vieira to join me to discuss his book The Sword and Sovereignty regarding the militias. Dr Vieira is one of the finest Constitutional scholars of our time. If you have not heard his Solari Report on why it is essential to enforce the US Constitution, I highly recommend it. Click Here.
This coming week, Dr. Vieira and I discuss the militias operating at the time of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Dr. Vieira explains why such organizations have so much potential to contribute to a self-governing people.
Understanding the history of the militia teaches us about our inheritance – both the divine values and practical habits that created our faith in the transcendental power of the rule of law.
For Let’s Go to the Movies, I recommend Mel Gibson’s The Patriot about Benjamin Martin, a veteran of the French and Indian War and a widower with seven children who leads a militia army during the Revolutionary War.
Please post or e-mail your questions for Ask Catherine.
Talk to you Thursday! (My Friday in the Australian Outback!)
I cannot but agree with Dr. Viera’s skepticism as to the role of military tribunals.
Yup!
Catherine,
Another great interview. As I was listening, I was reminded of an episode in October 2001.
I was a student at the DIA’s Joint Military Intelligence College beginning my introductions to the intelligence community in their Post-Grad Intelligence Program. (It’s called National Intelligence University now.) The smoke was still billowing from the Pentagon across the river from Bolling AFB where the classes took place in DIA HQ. One of my classes that semester was An Introduction to Terrorism taught by a PhD analyst from NSA. I wrote a paper early on for an assignment where I recommended that the proper response to 9/11 was to re-imagine the National Guard along the lines of the Militia as described in the interview. At the time I had been an infantry officer for over a decade (including time in the Texas Army Guard) and had been in the Balkans for much of the ’90s. I also had an undergrad specialization in Early American Political Thought and it made perfect sense to me from both an operational, a strategic, and a political perspective.
Imagine my surprise when I got the paper back with an “A” and a note to come see the prof. I went to see him and he made it clear that, although it was a clever and original (?!?) idea, a) it was never going to fly and b) my time would be, uhm, better spent thinking of other things. I was bemused, chalking it up to typical DC bureaucratic obtuseness. Ah, the naivete of youth . . .
Again, keep up the great work.

Eric Henderson
Too funny. WSJ today said we have spent $2.6 trillion on the War on Terrorism. Your professor was telling you to create ideas that pump the budget.

Are there any measure in the Constitution to prevent the militias from becoming wild gangs?
The right to bear arms. Same one that stops the gangs dealing drugs in America from going wild.
Your answer makes me realise how much I’ve been brainwashed to the point of how not knowing how to reason properly. Thanks for taking me from A to B.

All of us rednecks in the middle of the country are so much more intelligent and logical than we are made out to be by the folks in the media paid by the folks making so much money laundering money for the folks dealing drugs into our communities.
Once you get comfortable mapping out the covert flows, things make so much sense!
