Most who talk about the Monroe Doctrine hope you’ve never read it. In this episode, we go right to the source, James Monroe’s message to congress on Dec 2, 1823. Understanding his exact words, placing them alongside George Washington and John Quincy Adams, shows the doctrine as it was understood at the time: restraint and non-intervention.

The American Revolution wasn't what they taught you in school. And what happened in the years leading up to 1776 never stops. From ancient Athens to revolutionary America, there's a pattern most people never see - until it's too late.

It’s the oldest trick in the book - a scam for power and control.
