Eric the Blacksmith discusses the Antifederalists in this first of a series.
How much do we know about the debate between the Federalist Founders and the Antifederalists? How did Rhode Island fare when it said No to adopting the Constitution?
Eric talks about his background and an email exchange.
He refers to the book, "Hologram of Liberty" by Kenneth Royce, and mentions researchers James Montgomery and The Informer.
George Carlin and Mark Twain are compared. Twain's "Elements of Satire" is reviewed. What is the nature of government? What did Christ teach about politics?
North Carolina, like Rhode Island, was resistant to the Constitution. Eric reads a powerful 28 January, 1788 poem "On The New Constitution" published in the State Gazette of South Carolina. The poem leveled serious charges against the Founders and their tactics.
What were some of the circumstances surrounding the Hamilton-Burr Duel? A scene from "The Way We Were" reminds us of today's political discourse.
The show concludes with a scene from "Life is Worth Losing" by George Carlin.

Summary: Summary: Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men.
Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups.
The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life.
--Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

Mexico's New President's Stands on Trade & Immigration
Dec. 14, 2018, 11:55 a.m.
Mexico "will never be the piñata of any foreign government," AMLO has said. What we know of Mexicoâs New President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador "AMLO" positions on the Renegotiated NAFTA Trade Agreement & Immigration
with
Laura Carlsen, the director of the Americas Policy Programme, Centre for International Policy; she is based in Mexico City.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador , commonly known by the acronym AMLO, took his seat as Mexico's new President on Saturday. However, itâs been four months since AMLO, won Mexicoâs presidential election promising during his run to usher in a "fourth transformation" of Mexico giving us some insight into his relationship to the US on trade and immigration.
Migrants (including women, children, and families) have trekked across Mexico headed towards the US-Mexico border to apply for asylum in the United States. Many have walked over 3,000 km across Mexican territory with only their backpacks, their children, and their chants, fleeing violence and poverty at home. Since the migrants set off, president Trump has tweeted his opposition and threatened both Honduras and Guatemala with sanctions if they were to allow the caravan to cross their borders and has sent the military to the US-Mexican border. And recently the Mexican government responded by sending riot police to the border to prevent the migrants from crossing. The images of black-clad security forces using their shields against mothers and babies were shocking and disturbing. The visibility of the migrant caravan â aided in part by Trumpâs tweets and statements â has forced a discussion on how undocumented migrants are treated in Mexico and what role the country would play in future. In fact, Mexicoâs southern border has seen a steady increase in checkpoints, detention centres, and guards. At times, Mexico has been responsible for deporting more Central American migrants than the United States. However, we donât expect AMLO to pay for Trumpâs wall either - he did publish a book called "Oye, Trump" ("Listen Up, Trump") and he has condemned Trumpâs plans to build a border wall
And, while U.S. relations didnât count as a deciding factor for Mexican voters, the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement "NAFTA" has been a dominant issue during the transition period resulting and has now resulted in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement "USMCA" which an AMLO team participated in negotiating and which Trump called the teamwork "fantastic." And while AMLO said he would work to tackle the poverty in Mexico, where an estimated 44 percent of Mexicans live below the poverty line and 7.6 percent in extreme poverty will the USMCA mean raising wages and create jobs in Mexico? Laura Carlsen will probe the terms of the replacement of NAFTA by the USMCA and discusse whether it represents a confrontation looming on the horizon, as it continues the same economics AMLO professes to oppose.
