Who is America's King? William Federer on Our Providential Founding

So as we celebrate America at this 250th anniversary, what are some of those things in your research that you want Americans to remember?

Yeah, well, in world history, writing was invented around 3,000 or 4,000 B.C., Sumerian cuneiform on clay tablets in the Mesopotamian Valley.

And from the beginning of the invention of writing, the most common form of government in world history is kings.

They go by different names, Pharaoh, Caesar, Kaiser, Sultan, Tsar.

A king is a glorified gang leader.

It's a hierarchical system.

If you're friends with the king, you're more equal.

If you're not friends with the king, you're less equal.

If you're an enemy of the king, you're dead, it's called treason, or you're a slave.

And that's the norm.

And these kingdoms keep getting bigger because with the latest military advancement, kings can kill more people.

So instead of Cain killing Abel with a rock, they can kill with a bronze weapon, iron weapon, phalanx spear, scimitar sword, gunpowder.

Weapon keeps improving, but it's that same fallen nature until finally the King of England had the biggest empire on the planet.

The sun never set on the British Empire.

He had India, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, British Guiana, Canada, Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, and America.

And America's founders decided they did not like a globalist, one-world government king telling us what to do.

And so they broke away and flipped it, made the people the king.

So America is an experiment of a polarity change in the flow of power.

It's at a top-down rule by kings issuing mandates saying, bow to my statue or I'm gonna throw you in the fiery furnace or whatever.

It's a bottom-up form of government.

Now, where did America's founders get these ideas? A little Magna Carta, a little Age of Enlightenment, John Locke.

Before that, the Roman Republic with 600 senators.

Before that, the Athenian democracy with 6,000 citizens.

Before that, ancient Israel.

Around 1400 BC, millions of Israelites come out of Egypt.
