Legitimate government exists only to protect rights. Not to grant them. Not to trample them.

“An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens.” ~Thomas Jefferson
Newspapers have been at times (not currently- 1 , 2) a major way that Americans educated themselves. A powerful tool in learning the truth. Special interests realized this, and since the beginning have been in the shadows subverting the press. (1 , 2 ) MFP is bucking that trend. Todays “news papers” providing mainly “fake news” and are active tools for propagandizing and misleading the public, for nefarious purposes. – In contrast our only agenda is to discover, and report on the truth, with a definite bias towards liberty, and the principles elucidated in the Declaration of Independence: That we the people are the sovereigns, not government, and so much more that won’t fit in here.
It’s been almost 3 years now since we were birthed. As things have turned out MFP has been a news aggregation site, of things that interest us. What Matt Drudge is doing in concept. My goal is to find the time to start writing original content, and locating some fellow liberty lovers that would be willing to pitch in.
Stick around. We are not going anywhere.
God Speed
~MFP
“Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us?
The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents.
We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can seek to challenge and annoy, as we need not stay docile and quiet.”
The founders believed in Natural Law, and warned us about man’s law:
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” ~George Washington
I urge the reader to read this short piece on Moral Relativism and Natural Law here.
If you are like me it was hard to see moral relativism in it’s many situations and forms. Normalcy bias explains why this is so to a large degree. Keep looking as it’s all around you. You’ll see it. It’s the elephant in the room. The king without clothes.
A few favorite scriptures and quotes , that remind me of why I am doing this:
“Everything that is hidden will be found out, and every secret will be known. Whatever I say to you in the dark, YOU must tell in the light….” ~Luke, 12-2-7
“But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.” ~Matthew 10:26
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” ~Isaiah 5:20
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
~Ephesians 5:11
“Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:” ~Psalm 144
“Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;”
~Psalm 149:6-8
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” ~Galatians 5:1
“All of Scripture is an admonition to fight evil, in ourselves and in the world ― and the consequences of not doing so. If the Christian, particularly, can be convinced that there is nothing he can do in his lifetime, he will do nothing or next to nothing ― and his conscience will not bother him”
~Arthur R. Thompson pg 273 To The Victor Go The Myths & Monuments: The History of the First 100 Years of the War Against God and the Constitution, 1776 – 1876, and Its Modern Impact
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope for victory, because it is better to parish than to live as slaves.” ~ Winston Churchill
“It is through government, and law that Christians either love one another, or hate one another.
Sadly it’s apparent that the latter is what Christians have chosen.” ~JFT
For the record, “MFP” as Americans, do not plan to remain “docile” or “quiet”, as Justice Douglas put it. In fact we plan to “challenge”, and will at times “speak angrily”. Remaining quiet is in itself doing evil, and we will not partake in that sin of omission.
When you seek the truth you run up against very dark forces, and we ask that you pray for us.
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” ~Ephesians 5:11
In addition to your prayers we hope to benefit from your actions; from you supporting us by spreading the word about MFP. From some of you writing news stories, or an editorial, from some of you from going out and filming your city council meetings, writing about it, and posting it here. Only with your help, and prayers, will we succeed.

MFP Commentary: This is what happens when you have a tightly controlled government monopoly over medical care, with a population that is dumbed down enough to fall for the lie that this is somehow the free market, freedom, and Constitutional. It is none of these. To anyone with a few working brain cells, this is …

Were an American from the mid-nineteenth century to time-travel to modern America, he’d be truly amazed to find that Americans are often expected to thank soldiers “for your service” and to act as if the military was doing the taxpayer a favor. The lionizing of government employees in uniform has become standard fare in the …
If you have never listened to David Knight, I suggest that you check him out. He has an uncanny ability to clarify and get to the root of things. David has more intellect and morals, than 200 mainstream so called reporters.
Due to the criminal corporate censorship the easiest way to listen currently is by downloading the Infowars app for either the Android or Apple phones.
This video will educate you in how many of your Constitutionally protected rights are violated during your average traffic stop. It seems that the people hired to enforce the law, have very little respect or adherence to it. You also learn how to mitigate the dangers involved when you are unfortunate enough meet one of the revenue generating road pirates.
The American people have been brainwashed with 30 years of demonization of the “militia”, while the fact is that the militia is more American than either George Washington or apple pie. The militia is the essence of the citizens being the sovereigns as the Declaration of Independence proclaims.
In these films you are educated to the fact that “martial law” is not supported by our Constitution, and is in fact just another act of treason, by our criminal politicians, and also by our police, if they enforce it.
The militia scares the globalists to death, as it is locally controlled, and is the largest single threat to their goal of a one world government. Sadly the “Missouri Militia” as it exists today is a disgrace to the concept. Most in the militia do not know the Constitution, they at best pay lip service to it, and trample it without thought or remorse.
A 40 year old classic, very convincingly explains why our government is full of criminals and psychopaths. I know you have heard it before but this truly is a must watch if you want to be an informed citizen and voter.
This talk was made famous in the 70’s when veterinarian/ MD Dr Joel Wallach started his talks with his assertion, and verifiable fact, that medical doctors on average die in their late 50’s. Do you really want to follow these people’s advice? This talk has been an awakening for many, as to the importance today to use nutritional supplementation in therapeutic doses, and good diet if you want to optimize your health and avoid the degenerative diseases.
This is, by far, the best introduction to the US Constitution. Michael Badnarik was the Libertarian party’s 2004 presidential candidate. Here is more about him at Wikipedia.
This FEE article really hits the nail on the head: Constitutional Ignorance Led to a Tyranny of the Majority
Our lack of Constitutional knowledge means that believing in protecting the rights of minorities does not actually protect them when they are outvoted.
I just ran across this. I am optimistic that that this is a very good course considering that it was produced by FEE. I will be back to comment some more after I have taken this course.
“FEE has partnered with Strata Academic Programs to bring you The Constitution. The course will help you understand Constitution of the United States of America and the ideas contained within it. You’ll learn about the failures of the Articles of Confederation, the Constitutional Convention, the Great Compromise and the Federalist Papers. You’ll also begin to understand the why of the structure of the United States Government by reading about topics such as checks and balances and federalism.
This course is a two hour, self-paced learning experience with a focus on the history of American thought during the era of American history directly following the American Revolution. It uses primary documents so that you can understand the ideas of the Framers of the Constitution as they did themselves in order to ascertain why they created the government that they did. The workshop also uses entertaining videos to explain the history surrounding this pivotal stage in American history. This online course works wonderfully as a stand alone educational experience for those who want to learn on their own and as a resource for social studies teachers.”
An engaging introduction to the principles of the United States | taught by FEE Courses
FEE has partnered with Strata Academic Programs to bring you Origins of the American Regime. The course will help you understand the principles that guided the Founders in the creation of the United States of America. You’ll learn about John Locke, Samuel Adams, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. You’ll also begin to understand ideas such as the consent of the governed and natural rights that influenced American politics.
The course is a two hour, self-paced learning experience with a focus on the history of American thought during the Revolutionary Era. It uses primary documents so that you can understand the ideas of the Founders as they did themselves, and reflection questions to stimulate careful consideration of these concepts. The workshop also uses entertaining videos to explain the history surrounding this exciting period of American history. This online course works wonderfully as a stand alone educational experience for those who want to learn on their own and as a resource for social studies teachers.
Remarkable research by Michael Rivero, into every war that the US has been involved in. Showing how the public was lied into going to war, in almost every case. This went viral on the Internet when it first came out.
The Alex Jones Radio show (w/ video) 4 hours a day, and is looped.
IMHO one of the best places to learn what is going on in the world.
There are also a lot more shows than just the radio show these days.
Check out this YouTube archive of many of them.
Not one in a thousand knows that juries are the 4th branch of government, and that they hold the ultimate decision as to whether or not a law is just, and should be applied or not. The criminal courts lie to juries about this right and duty on a regular basis, with no consequences for their criminal deception. (this lie can and does cost people their liberty and even their lives) The criminal in-justice system will also likely disqualify you from serving on a jury if you admit to knowing anything about jury nullification. The state of NH passed a law a few years back requiring judges to inform all juries of their right to nullify any law that they had problems with, and to vote not guilty regardless of the evidence or the facts.
Now if we could only get jury trials as the Constitution guarantees us , for such things as when CPS kidnaps our children. It should blow your mind to think that you can get a jury trial for littering, but not if the state decides it wants to kidnap your child.
If you get your jury trial, the judge will not inform them of their right and duty to nullify unjust laws, they will actually lie, and tell the jury with a straight face, that there is no such right. That is deep enough down the rabbit hole for the time being.
This is not a video, but a link to the most comprehensive, and current book on voter fraud in the US. The Bev Harris web site and book, expose the enormity of voter fraud here in the US. There are 3rd world countries that have more honest and open elections than the US does.
Gavin Seim is a Christian that strongly believes that government should follow the law (the Constitution) He does his work from a Christian perspective, and often takes the tactic of shaming the government offenders by educating them about the evil that they are committing.
Forget everything that you have ever been told about cancer, and watch this first of a 9 part series. It may very well save your life or the life of a loved one.
I think that you will be hooked, and will want to watch the rest. Let us know in the comments if you would like us to try, and find links to the other 8 in the series.
Even your doctor likely doesn’t understand the importance of your gut flora, and their health. Dr McBride is one of the most knowledgeable, and articulate people to learn about this foundation to your health. Learn what “probiotics” are really all about.
Ben Fuchs is a Colorado pharmacist, he like all pharmacists actually know the chemical pathways that the prescription drugs effect, and the side effects. Knowing this he cautions against ever using prescription drugs, except in specific extreme conditions. Instead he relies on nutrition to maintain health, and goes into great detail as to why and how. I listened to Ben daily for about 3 years, and I learned more from him about nutrition that I have anywhere else. The first 2 links are archives. The first one is very useful as you can search his audio podcasts by keyword.
There are something like 90 shows on the GCN radio network, this is one that I have enjoyed over the years:
Don’t let the tats fool you. Dave is a very accomplished guy in many fields and most likely has an IQ that qualifies him for MENSA. He is for starters is ex-special forces, an ex-cop that does not like what has happened to our police departments. He is a gun instructor at the world class Top Gun in Parump NV. He is also the author of the definitive book about why we do not owe an income tax to the government. (there is also a very strong case that the 16th amendment was never ratified: here and here)
His web site is very much worth a visit and has links to podcasts, videos, and his blog.
I hate to break it to you but chemtrails are for real. They have been admitted to by the powers that be. The sky’ s, air, and soil here in SW Missouri are engulfed in these chemicals…..
The above 3 videos are probably the best info out there is video format.
Of the 100 or so shows that GCN letwork produces, this show is one of the better ones if you want to keep up with world events and educate yourself at the same time. This YouTube channel archives the shows on a daily basis.
Texan Jim Marrs recently passed. What a great loss for humanity. The depth and breadth of his research is phenomenal. He is perhaps best known for his research on the government murder of President John F. Kennedy. Check out his books on Amazon.
Self explanatory I hope.
This interview was brought to you by Mises Media on YouTube an incredibly educational channel. That is not all though, there is also the Mises Institute, with a huge wealth of knowledge (audio. video, and text) and then there is Lew Rockwell, the guy behind all of this, and his web site: LewRockwell.com
Do yourself a favor and avail yourself to all of the knowledge in the above links to Lew’s creations. FWIW years ago Lew was Ron Paul’s congressional aide. He unlike Rand fell close to the RP tree.
Ninety nine percent of your fellow Americans do not know the difference between right and wrong. Pretty strong statement, but true none the less. This is an all day seminar, but very much worth listening to. Mark also goes down another rabbit hole. He claims that our police departments are largely controlled by members of the Church of Satan. He also points out that the foundational pillar of the church of Satan (i.e. moral relativism) is also the philosophical foundation upon which our “police” departments are based.
Mr. Passio’s credentials are impeccable, for many years he was a high priest in the church of Satan. He knows what he is talking about.
1 Marine vs. 30 Cops: Sgt. Shamar Thomas (By. J. handy)
Sgt. Shamar Thomas USMC Veteran: “I took an Oath that I live by. I am NOT anti-NYPD. I am anti- Police Brutality. I am no longer under contract with the USMC so I do NOT have to follow military uniform regulations. I DON’T affiliate myself with ANY POLITICAL ORG. I affiliate myself with the AMERICAN PEOPLE that’s it. I REFUSE to affiliate with anything that SEPARATES.
There is an obvious problem in the country and PEACEFUL PEOPLE should be allowed to PROTEST without Brutality. I was involved in a RIOT in Rutbah, Iraq 2004 and we did NOT treat the Iraqi citizens like they are treating the unarmed civilians in our OWN Country. No one was brutalized because our mission was to “WIN the hearts and minds”, why should I expect anything less in my OWN Country. I DO NOT SUPPORT WAR. If you don’t like this video or my beard. Then SUPPORT A WOUNDED WARRIOR!…And a desert marpat blouse is not a uniform”
The classic documentary on how the Federal Reserve, and our banks work.
They taught you none of this in government school. The only way they get away with it is that they keep you dumbed down.
I have been on a quest to discover what it takes to be healthy for close to 40 years now. I remember that I read “sugar blues” in 1980, a book this is still very much worth reading. I went through being a vegetarian, to a vegan, to discovering Weston A Price, and then refinements of that. The learning is continuous, and I am closer to the truth than when I started. Your health is the one thing that money can not buy, and I hope that you take advantage of learning from my mistakes, and save yourself 10 or 20 years in your journey.
Let’s get started! ~MFP
Before I do that let me make a shameless plug for the Food Freedom Ministry food buying club.
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.” ~Dr. Benjamin Rush
The things that you need to learn can be daunting and overwhelming so let me try to make it easier for those of you that want the quick and dirty way to get started. Follow the next steps and you will know what took me decades to figure out:
1.) Read the Pamphlet “Principles of Healthy Diets” as 99% of you have no idea what you are putting into your body nor what you should be putting into your body. UPDATE 6-3-18 I just finished reading Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food by Catherine Shanahan M.D. It goes into great detail as to why Weston A Price in the above pamphlet strongly advises you to avoid vegetable oils and sugars. I thought so much of this book that I have 6 copies that I keep to loan out to people. For those of you more advanced in your nutritional supplementation I suggest the following podcast and ebook:
2.) Watch the YouTube Ketogenic Diet Explained this is the information that allowed me to adapt the above Western A Price dietary guidelines to allow my body to go into Nutritional Ketosis. Watch the film and you will understand. I also highly recommend that you read Mercola’s book Fat for Fuel when you can. That information made me an expert and confident at eating a ketogenic diet. The short YouTube “Diet” by Dr Ted Naiman will further convince you of the need to eat a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet.
3.) The YouTube Dead Doctor’s Don’t Lie by Dr. Joel Wallach was actually the first thing I ran into and implemented as dietary nutritional supplementation. It’s a very deep topic, email me if you have questions and I will try to point you in the right direction. Again I will give you a short cut. Start off with taking Tangy Tangerine, an Iodine supplement, a probiotic, and essential fatty acids. here (There are less expensive ways to do this, but in the beginning just plan on spending $100 a month on supplements while you heal and continue to learn)
UPDATE 4/11/18
Since I wrote the above, Thorne has started selling to the general public. It may be the best (synthetic) multivitamin in the world if you are looking for all in one solution. I give Ben Greenfield the credit for pointing these out to me, in this article: A Quest To Discover The Greatest Multivitamin On The Face Of The Planet.
The best price you can get is a subscription directly from Thorne: here. All that they don’t have in them are EFA’s, which you can get here: Thorne EFA’s
(The liquid tangy Tangerine may be better for those with damaged guts to start out with)
Don’t get too bogged down in getting “nutritional supplements” perfectly, right. Doing something is almost always better than doing nothing, and like the rest of us you learn as you go.
Check out their website and all of the excellent articles there.
One hundred years ago, Weston A Price accomplished so much that it is hard to know where to begin. He was a researcher for the A.D.A,. and had a world class staff of over 100 scientists. For 20 years he researched dentistry and discovered the extreme dangers of root canals, and focal infections, which is documented in this excellent book: “Root Canal cover-up”
He discovered that arterial deposits are caused by a shift in the ionic calcium/phosphorous ratio, caused mainly by sugar in the diet. NOT by how much cholesterol is in your diet!
Now wrap your head around the fact that the ADA has covered up all of his work! This is criminal, and has caused great harm to people’s health. None of my dentists have even heard of this scientist, and his team, and his 20 years of research that was paid for by the American Dental Association. After this career…. this amazing scientist began another 20 year career concerning nutrition, and this is where the Weston A Price foundation comes in.
If you are only going to do one thing for your health, I would suggest reading the WAP pamphlet “Principles of Healthy Diets”. Here it is in PDF and here is it on a web page.
Just discovered the Wise Traditions podcast:
Just found this priceless Weston A Price Foundation podcast. Wise Traditions
I really like the multiplatform Pocket Casts as my Podcast player both on the smartphone and on the PC.
Dr Joel Wallach is both a veterinarian and a Naturopathic MD
Back in the 70’s he made the then outrageous claim that your average MD died at age 58. This statistic has since been proven beyond question as true,
Could it be because they follow their own advice?
The bottom line in this talk is that veterinarians have “cured” over 300 diseases in animals through nutrition. Why aren’t MD’s this wise?
Perhaps because the medical schools themselves were started by the pharmaceutical companies in the name of John Rockefeller, who commissioned the “Flexner Report” (and here & here) that got congress involved in our heath care, and it has been mostly all downhill from there. Certainly so in the case of degenerative diseases. US medicine is excellent at trauma, but dozens of degenerative diseases have flourished since their AMA monopoly was created..
Ben Fuchs is a Colorado pharmacist, he like all pharmacists actually know the chemical pathways that the prescription drugs affect, and the side effects. Knowing this he cautions against ever using prescription drugs, except in specific extreme conditions. Instead he relies on nutrition to maintain health, and goes into great detail as to why and how.

Arguably Dr Rife made some of the greatest medical discoveries in the history of mankind, and just like the discoveries of Dr. Weston A Price, they were all covered up by the Rockefeller medical monopoly that we now live under. The above link is just enough to get you going down this rabbit hole.
Natural News is one of the largest health sites on the Internet. Run by Mike Adams, AKA “the health ranger”. They have a great newsletter that you can subscribe to, and that I highly recommend.
Dr Mercola has one of the largest alternative health sites on the Internet, and I also highly recommend following him and his work.
I am sure you have heard of the critical importance of gut health to your overall health. Aristotle knew of this connection 2000 years ago. Almost ALL disease starts in the gut. (Something the AMA medical monopoly does not recognize)
It is amazing how much information is packed into the following 2 interviews of arguably the world’s leading expert on gut physiology, Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride:
The founders told us that only an educated electorate would be capable of holding onto a Republic. At the time newspapers were the tip of the spear in the education of the people, as were the then private schools that everyone attended. The militia was ubiquitous, and protected citizens against criminal gangs, Indians, and tyrannical government.
Today this is all turned upside down, our schools are based upon the Prussian educational model from the 1870’s, that was openly admitted to be a means for the state to educate the children to be of use to the state. and to teach them to not question their government. The exact opposite of the way American children were educated prior to the mandatory Prussian type schools that we now have.
Today our “government schools” (they are no more “public schools” than the Federal Reserve is Federal) are implemented by both the first and tenth planks of the communist manifesto. Today our entire educational system, our media, our health care, our legal defense, and our newspapers are controlled by the Deep State/New World Order (or whatever you choose to call them) Today the “police” have replaced the militia, and rather than protecting our rights, they by terror, threat, and traumatization, enforce every illegitimate law, put in place by the Deep State. Today the “police” are the real threats. It is they, that are the most likely to violate your rights. They have become the “standing army” that the founders warned us about. Most are “useful idiots“, that have no idea of the globalist agenda that they are helping implement. Even Jesus recognized the existence of “useful idiots”, in the Roman soldiers that nailed him to the cross.:
Luke 23:34
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothing, and cast lots.”
Those soldiers were the “useful idiots” & “police” of that time. We have them in our time too.
We are no longer a free country or a republic. Largely as a result of “government schools”, the electorate has no clue as to the principles that this country was founded upon, the rights that they possess, nor the proper place of government.
It is the mission of Missouri Free Press to rectify this dumbing down of the American electorate. The mainstream newspapers are certainly not educating people, they are part of the dumbing down process. If you choose to read MFP, we will educate you as to the founding principles, your rights, and the proper place of government. (according to the founder’s own words)
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearsome master. ” ~George Washington
Begin your education with this 40 year old classic. It is an epiphany to many:
None Dare Call It Conspiracy – Gary Allen
“Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents. We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can seek to challenge and annoy, as we need not stay docile and quiet.”—Justice William O. Douglas, dissenting, Colten v. Kentucky, 407 U.S. 104 (1972)
For the record, we as Americans, do not plan to remain “docile” or “quiet”, as Justice Douglas put it. In fact we plan to “challenge”, and will at times speak “angrily”. Remaining quiet is in itself doing evil, and we will not partake in that sin of omission.
When you seek the truth you run up against very dark forces, and we ask that you pray for us.
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” ~Ephesians 5:11
In addition to your prayers we hope to benefit from your actions; from you supporting us by spreading the word about MFP. From some of you writing news stories, or an editorial, from some of you from going out and filming your city council meetings, writing about it, and posting it here. Only with your help, and prayers, will we succeed.
Thank you for visiting us. We hope to see you around. Dum Spiro, Pugno ~MFP
*** The cover photo of my neighbor raking his hay, has become very iconic to me. A man, his land, and his horses in the process of living, of being free. Does the barbed wire represent the state protecting the farmer or does it represent the state fencing the farmer in, violating his rights and enslaving him?
