The following 14 video presentations are an introduction to the "5,000 Year Leap".
There are a total of 28 principles that are the foundation of sound government. The reason that this course of study is so important is that it outlines the 28 principles upon which our nation was founded.The things that we believe govern our actions and ultimately determine our destiny. The reason our country is on the verge of destruction is due to the fact that the people have lost their moral compass. In order to restore our Constitutional Republic we must rediscover the principles that were embraced by our Founding Fathers.The 5,000 Year Leap contains the recipe for peace, prosperity and freedom.

Re: The Constitution, An Emphasis On Its Significance
Very nice. Thank you.
We had a book group a couple years ago, The 5000 Year Leap was the first discussion book. I dragged my teenage boys along and had them read the book as well, but these videos will make for very good reminders. (I kinda doubt they remember much about the book's specifics.)

Re: The Constitution, An Emphasis On Its Significance
"The hooded night-riders for tyranny" (as Pres. J. Ruben Clark called them) have done this deliberately. The are destroying the middle class of America.. .. and that's US !!
The latter-day saints could have stopped this atrocity in its tracks YEARS ago, but the majority would NOT "Stand Fast by Our Constitution" (per J. Ruben Clark) nor "Stand Up for Freedom" (per Ezra Taft Benson). The majority of Church members refused to get involved in the fight for freedom; some mocked and spurned those who did.
Righteous latter-day saint men, with power in the Priesthood, could have been a tremendous and revolutionary force for liberty. The secret combinations and modern-day Gadianton robbers would have retreated in fear and confusion.
"No sadder words of voice or pen
Are these words It could have been."

Look for Michael's comments in this video:freedomfighter wrote:Thank you MsEva. Yes, you are correct about what it means to fly the flag upside down.MsEva wrote:Thank you for your enthusiasm for the Constitution FF. I believe when the flag is flown upside down it means our country is in distress-at least that what I read a few months back, I hope it's right..lol I agree we need to choose; we also need to pray to know what the Lord would have us do. It may be different for each individual and I do know the Lord knows our heart and how many of us want to fight to defend the Constitution. Thank you for your posts.
Take a look at this video, Michael covers it. Actually, all the segments teach us about the Constitution.
He states that most people in this country don't even know we live in a republic, not a democracy.
Do we know what an "Allodial Title" is? When we buy a home do we also own the land it sits on?
Do we know what a "Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin" is? Would you like to buy a car you don't have to pay taxes on, or register it?
Michael covers it.

This is why I will never give up my rights freely. Our state representatives need to hear from you about how important and just how committed you are to keeping your rights and freedoms. The first and second amendments are very closely connected please keep that in mind.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY TO THINK ABOUT.......December 29, 2012 marks the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection”. The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. The Calvary began shooting, and managed to wipe out the entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children. About 40 members of the 7th Cavalry were killed, but over half of them were victims of fratricide from the Hotchkiss guns of their overzealous comrades-in-arms. Twenty members of the 7th Cavalry's death squad, were deemed “National Heroes” and were awarded the Medal of Honor for their acts of [cowardice] heroism.
We hear very little of Wounded Knee today. It is usually not mentioned in our history classes or books. What little that does exist about Wounded Knee is normally a sanitized “Official Government Explanation”. And there are several historically inaccurate depictions of the events leading up to the massacre, which appear in movie scripts and are not the least bit representative of the actual events that took place that day.
Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.
Before you jump on the emotionally charged bandwagon for gun-control, take a moment to reflect on the real purpose of the Second Amendment, the right of the people to take up arms in defense of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an oppressive government. The argument that the Second Amendment only applies to hunting and target shooting is asinine. When the United States Constitution was drafted, “hunting” was an everyday chore carried out by men and women to put meat on the table each night, and “target shooting” was an unheard of concept. Musket balls were a precious commodity and were certainly not wasted on “target shooting”. The Second Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and it refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defensive purposes, should such tyranny arise in the United States.
As time goes forward, the average citizen in the United States continually loses little chunks of personal freedom or “liberty”. Far too many times, unjust gun control bills were passed and signed into law under the guise of “for your safety” or “for protection”. The Patriot Act signed into law by G.W. Bush, was expanded and continues under Barack Obama. It is just one of many examples of American citizens being stripped of their rights and privacy for “safety”. Now, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is on the table, and will, most likely be attacked to facilitate the path for the removal of our firearms, all in the name of “our safety”.
Before any American citizen blindly accepts whatever new firearms legislation that is about to be doled out, they should stop and think about something for just one minute-
Evil does exist in our world. It always has and always will. Throughout history evil people have committed evil acts. In the Bible one of the first stories is that of Cain killing Abel. We can not legislate “evil” into extinction. Good people will abide by the law, and the criminal element will always find a way around it.
Evil exists all around us, but looking back at the historical record of the past 200 years, across the globe, where is “evil” and “malevolence” most often found? In the hands of those with the power, the governments. That greatest human tragedies on record and the largest loss of innocent human life can be attributed to governments. Who do the governments always target? “Scapegoats” and “enemies” within their own borders…but only after they have been disarmed to the point where they are no longer a threat. Ask any Native American, and they will tell you it was inferior technology and lack of arms that contributed to their demise. Ask any Armenian why it was so easy for the Turks to exterminate millions of them, and they will answer “We were disarmed before it happened”. Ask any Jew what Hitler’s first step prior to the mass murders of the Holocaust was- confiscation of firearms from the people.
Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we should vehemently resist any attempts to infringe on our Rights to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we will be totally stripped of any ability to defend ourselves and our families.

Re: The Constitution, An Emphasis On Its Significance
My family history furnishes another example. My dad's side of the family are from the Mormon Colonies in Mexico. If you're in Utah you may have seen a new film about their exodus from there to El Paso in 1913; it was aired between sessions of General Conference last fall.
They left because their weapons had been confiscated by the Mexican Revolutionary army. The revolutionaries 'needed' them. The colonists, left without any efficient form of protection, got on a train for El Paso the next day, carrying only what they could manage in each hand.
