Episode Description

Live Free or Die is more than a slogan. It is the battle-tested creed of General John Stark and the embodiment of the Spirit of 1776. In this episode of America’s Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the life of John Stark, a forgotten patriot who helped turn the tide of the American Revolution.

This week marks the 250th anniversary of Rhode Island’s renunciation of allegiance to King George III, the first formal break from the Crown. But as Stark’s life proves, declarations alone do not secure liberty. From the brutal New Hampshire frontier and the defenses at Bunker Hill to the decisive Battle of Bennington, Stark’s story reveals why independence was never inevitable.

What You’ll Learn:

Beyond the Bumper Sticker: Why “Live Free or Die” is a warning about sacrifice, liberty, and government overreach.
The Rhode Island Connection: How the May 1776 renunciation captured one of the boldest acts of colonial defiance.
Frontier Leadership: How captivity and service with Rogers’ Rangers forged a man who refused to be a victim.
Bunker Hill and Bennington: How ordinary Americans stood against the British Empire and helped change the course of the Revolution.
The Federalism Lesson: What Stark’s resignation and return to command teach us about merit, local leadership, and putting country above personal grievance.

John Stark was stubborn, flawed, and defiant. He was passed over by the bureaucracy, yet he did not walk away from the cause. His story is a powerful reminder that America was not built by perfect men, but by patriots willing to risk everything so future generations could live free.

Why “Defund the Police” was never just bad policy, but part of a larger strategy to transform public safety
How housing policy, density, YIMBY, and “walkable cities” are being used to attack suburbs and local control
Why teachers’ unions became one of the most powerful forces in leftist politics and school indoctrination
Whether America’s captured institutions can be reclaimed before the damage becomes permanent

SPLC Indictment Exposes the FBI Shadow Intelligence Pipeline

May 4, 2026 by Nicholas Giordano

↓ The P.A.S. Report Podcast is on every podcast platform! ↓

Episode Description

The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution.

What You’ll Learn:

The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis.
The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies.
State Power Laundering: How “non-governmental experts” help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments.
Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans.
The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment.

This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled.

Political violence is escalating, and the left’s political violence problem can’t be ignored.
This episode exposes how media narratives, Democratic rhetoric, and selective data create a permission structure for violence.

The latest Trump assassination attempt is not an isolated incident.

What You’ll Learn

How the phrase “Friendly Federal Assassin” reveals the moral permission structure behind political violence
Why Obama’s post after the manifesto release looked more like narrative control than unity
The partial list of assassination attempts and politically motivated attacks the media downplays

Why figures like Luigi Mangione and Hasan Piker reveal a growing culture where violence is framed as moral virtue

This is not a generic “both sides” lecture. It is a deeper look at the rhetoric, data games, and moral inversion fueling America’s political violence crisis.

Episode Description

Eleven scientists are either missing or dead, and the silence from federal agencies is becoming impossible to ignore.
