  • Rising Despotism: Analyzing America's Destruction (Part 2) - E25
    Sep 23 2023

    In this episode of "The Liberty Brief" podcast, Rob and Dr. Tom delve into the historical development of centralized federal police powers and investigative agencies in the United States. They emphasize the founders' intent to avoid centralized police powers to prevent tyranny and their emphasis on state autonomy in law enforcement. Over time, however, the federal government gradually created various agencies with regulatory authority, including the FBI, CIA, FDA, and more. These agencies, equipped with investigative units and armed agents, now enforce laws and regulations, often created by the agencies themselves, bypassing the legislative process envisioned by the Constitution.
