About this listen
America wasn’t founded. It was forged in smoke, sabotage, and the kind of silence that doesn’t beg for credit. The Boston Tea Party was a cover. Beneath wigs and warpaint, rebels moved Turkish opium through the harbor and crossed names off ledgers. Some were loyalists. Some weren’t. Nobody asked twice. In the smoke-filled port cities of rebellion, a syndicate formed.
Part secret society, part shadow state, it traded liberty like cargo and laundered loyalty through blood. Washington held the center. Franklin read every cipher twice. Betsy Ross stitched the signal and smuggled the names. She met John Paul Jones where the bodies washed ashore, salt on her hem and silence in her hands. Somewhere in the mist, the Smoke Brothers strike without a name. Dolley Payne keeps the reckoning. When the final signatures dry, she strikes. History never sees it coming.
Uncover the myth. What history polished, The Founding Syndicate unearths.
• The Boston Tea Party: A covert op disguised as protest, scrubbed clean before the morning papers hit.
• John Paul Jones: Spy. Sailor. Gentleman with a throat scar and unfinished business.
• The Smoke Brothers: They appear together. They vanish without sound.
• Paul Revere: He didn’t finish the ride—but he made the poem. The real hero never made it home.
• Dolley Payne: She walks through rooms where truth isn’t welcome—but consequences are.
• The Garden of Dolls: Dolls from a wrecked opium ship. Nothing grows there. Except memory.
• The Room of Treasure and Opium: Future site of Fort Knox. Coin, silk, powder, flesh—all weighed here.
• John Hancock: The flourish stayed. The man didn’t.
• Elias Cane: Broker of secrets, sunk beneath the Delaware.
• The Concord Table: Where liberty’s riches are tallied—and the conquered are told to applaud. Some stories were erased on purpose.
The Founding Syndicate brings them back—uninvited, and in all their subversive glory.
