Saving American Liberty, Session 2
We are currently experiencing a pivotal moment in history, as the foundational ideas and concepts that have sustained Western Civilization are beginning to fracture and shift beneath us.
However, grasping the overarching “what” regarding the surge of identity politics, cyber authoritarianism, and digital surveillance in our society is unattainable without comprehending the “why.”
In this powerful session from the New Discourses event Saving American Liberty, Michael O’Fallon, founder of Sovereign Nations, unpacks the sweeping transformation that has been underway across every major pillar of society—education, faith, media, corporations, and government. He explains how each has been deliberately destabilized to usher in what global elites call the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the rooms where these ideas were seeded, O’Fallon traces how ideological movements such as critical race theory, intersectionality, and progressive theology were deployed to erode stable cultural foundations and prepare humanity for a managed, post-liberal world.
O’Fallon reveals how institutions like the United Nations, UNESCO, and the World Economic Forum have long sought to construct “the defenses of peace in the minds of men,” not through faith or reason, but by reshaping consciousness itself through global integration, surveillance, and transhumanist technologies. O’Fallon connects the philosophies of figures such as Julian Huxley and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to modern technocrats like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, warning that the merging of man and machine, the rise of digital currencies, and the encirclement of Earth by data systems like Starlink point toward a cognitive prison—a “noosphere” in which independent thought and true liberty are extinguished. Yet he insists that awareness and courage can still resist this totalizing vision: the defense of cognitive liberty begins with understanding what’s at stake.
This talk sets the stage for the deeper examinations of integralism and neo-integralism that follow, challenging viewers to recognize how the ideological, spiritual, and technological revolutions of our time are converging into a single transformative project—and why it must be confronted with truth.
