We are preparing an intimate, behind the scenes mailing to go out to a small list of friends.  We want to get it to those who have stood with us, worked with us, laughed with us (not at us) and prayed with us over the past three years.

Here is the problem … our database management is not stellar.

If you have sent a check the past three years, then we likely have you on the list.  We have to keep that list up to date for IRS purposes.

If you have instead just dropped by to extend your best wishes, or dropped us a line over the three years, or attended one of our events and did or did not fill out a card …. well then we may not have you on our “best friends” list.

If you want to ensure that you are on that list then please send us, in the next week, warm wishes and a request to be on that list.

A comment left here will probably be enough  — as long as we recognize you as a friend and not a culture of death plant.  Your comment will not be posted if contains personal information.

An email to archangelinstitute@gmail.com is  enough, again, if we recognize you as a friend of the Institute.

Snail mail is probably the best, since only friends, for the most part, would take the time to write.

No check is necessary, but …. it will go toward a good cause and does tend to show good will.

I have long been a fan of The Call.

A week after I posted this classic video sharing the Faith of this alternative  band as a statement of my own faith  the lead man of The Call was called before the Throne of Grace.  (Click here for details)

He did not deny his Lord, so I trust that I will hear from Michael again one bright morning.

Here is a tribute to this great troubadour.

You, too, will stand before your Maker one day in the future.
It is as certain as tomorrow’s dawn.
Ready or not?
If not then think about this.

We yet have two more classes on constitutional law (Tuesday nights at 7:15 pm at the Institute) and two more Saturday morning apologetics classes.

If you are on our email “Constant Contact” then you have received updates on these classes as we go along.  If you have not received those updates and want to, then you should send us an email and just ask to be on the list.  archangelinstitute@gmail.org

Our snail mail list will be pared down significantly at summer’s end.  We sent out a 2500 piece local mailing to start the summer and 800 local postcards at mid summer.  Only those who have responded in writing will be included on future mailings.  Future snail mail sends will track our litigation, communication and commemoration projects, reporting in a manner not recommended for web postings.  If you want to be on that list and have not sent us best wishes via snail mail then you should do just that:

The ArchAngel Institute

827 Webster Street

Fort Wayne,  IN  46802

We anticipate changes in web site design as the summer gives way to the fall.

We also anticipate a ruling from the Federal Court of the Northern District of Indiana on Brown v. Bowman (click here for pleadings).

We are hoping that ruling will take us from the summer of discontent to an autumn of dramatic event.

View The Demographic Bomb August 6 at 7 pm at the Allen County Public Library

On Friday evening, August 6, The ArchAngel Institute will present a controversial program exploring the causes of modernity’s birth dearth.  This program starts at 7 pm in the theater of the Allen County Public Library.

This thought-provoking presentation will be built around the just-released movie “Demographic Bomb: Demography is Destiny.” According to its producers, this documentary “reveals how organizations, institutions, governments and the United Nations manipulated and coerced families, evaded political accountability and violated basic human rights to achieve their population-reduction agenda.”

ArchAngel Institute spiritual director Reverend Glenn Kohrman , executive director Bryan J. Brown and others will lead a discussion of demographics and eugenics before, during and after clips from this powerful video production.

According to Pastor Kohrman, “The clips are thought provoking and serve to educate and inform, driving home the point that people are always a blessing.” Kohrman further added that “All too often people are marginalized and devalued because they do not fit some expectation of perfection.”

Bryan J. Brown, Executive Director of the ArchAngel Institute, added that “international organizations operating at the highest level of the United Nations, including Planned Parenthood, have targeted elements of the human race for eradication as if they were weeds or pests.  Our discussion will center upon the proper Christian response to such diabolical political machinations.”

Father Glenn further added that, “It is very important that we become informed.  When we are informed we can draw others closer to the Truth.”  He then summed up the mission statement of the ArchAngel Institute by stating that “this drawing to the Truth is our ultimate task!”

“The Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family” (the first movie in this two part series) will be shown without comment between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.

This free event is open to the public in furtherance of the educational and cultural mission of The ArchAngel Institute, an Indiana nonprofit corporation.    .

Additional quotes from the producer Demographic Winter and Demographic Bomb:
“One of the most ominous events of modern history is quietly unfolding. Social scientists and economists agree – we are headed toward a demographic winter which threatens to have catastrophic social and economic consequences.  The effects will be severe and long lasting and are already becoming manifest in much of Europe.”

“A ground breaking film, Demographic Winter: Decline of The Human Family, draws upon voices from all around the world and experts from many different disciplines – demographers, economists, sociologists, psychologists, civic and religious leaders, parliamentarians and diplomats.  Together, they reveal in chilling soberness the dangers facing society and the world’s economies, dangers far more imminent than global warming and at least as severe.”

If you have not yet made one of our Tuesday night classes on legal foundation of Christendom this Tueday night is the time to start.

In the first week we looked at Jerusalem and Athens as influences on the legal foundations of America.

We met Founding Father Dr. Benjamin Rush and constitutionalist Russell Kirk.

In the second week we looked at Rome as an influence on the legal foundations of America.

We met Founding Father John Adams and constitutionalist W. Cleon Skousen.

Tomorrow night we look at the Natural Law through the teaching of constitutionalist Charles Rice.  And we will look at the writings of yet another Founder.

Read some of Rice’s book 50 Questions on the Natural Law, What it is and Why we need it before coming if you can.  (Defining Natural Law)

Class starts at 7:15 p.m. at the downtown public library in Fort Wayne, meeting room B.

Demographic Winter is showing in the same room at 6:15 pm.

Elana Kagan is likely to soon go on the High Court — without a natural law jurisprudence.   Does this matter?  What are the alternatives?  If you are not certain then come tomorrow night to learn the answers as Dr. Rice would give them.

Author Harry Dent forecasted The Demographic Winter way back in the 1980s.  As he clearly explains in the video that we are showing locally and promoting (at no economic benefit to ourselves, click here for ordering information), Japan is the first modern economy to live through a post modern demographic collapse due to the fact that Japan  did not experience a post World War II baby boom. 

Have not yet viewed Demographic Winter?  You really should, it puts almost all of post modernity in perspective.  We are showing it once again Tuesday, at the downtown Allen County Library, at 6:15 p.m.   We will show and discuss the second video in this series, The Demographic Bomb, at the downtown library theatre on August 6 at 7:15 pm. 

Harry Dent’s explanation of our current economic downturn  is a eureka moment in the video Demographic Winter.  When Dent superimposes the aging curve over the economic curve, one feels a bit woozy at first. Much like one does when the roller coaster ends its climb and hesitates, just a second, before the big plunge.

Uplifting and encouraging?  No, I guess not.  If you want that tune into pop-music-driven Christian Radio.  

Fact-based and insightful?  Yes.  It is the truth, straight up — a glimpse into our startling future as a social order.  The one that we have chosen.

Here is a factual analysis in today’s headlines backing Harry Dent up all the way.  What some want to spin as a difficult to understand hiccup in an otherwise growing economy Harry Dent nails as the future come this month:  He predicted 2010 as  the year of the Baby Boomer drop-off and it looks to be he was right on.  Come to our next Tuesday night event to hear him explain this with market curves.

Here is a quote from this recent article:

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary indexof consumer sentiment decreased to 66.5, the lowest since August and less than the most pessimistic forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Another report showed inflation cooled last month.

The sentiment figures showed a record-low share of Americans expected their incomes will rise in the next 12 months, underscoring growing pessimism over employment prospects. Declining confidence may further restrain consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy, and hinder the recovery in coming months.

Post moderns so love the subjective! (Even “Christian” post modernists.)   Consumers just are not confident, they say.  Well I have bad news for you, sunshine — it ain’t about confidence, it is about the number of consumers and what age of life they are in.  Again, if you view The Demographic Winter you will understand this argument and be prepared to take action in light of the demographic realities we NOW face.

Dent proves his thesis by appealing to Japan, a nation that had no post WWII baby boom.  It is quite interesting to note that a recent mainstream press article ominously entitled “World at Risk of Folding in on Itself: Deputy Doom” argues from the Japanese experience to warn us all that we might be nearing the precipice: 

The global economy is at risk of folding in on itself unless policy makers face up to the threats of inflation inflexibility and exchange-rate inflexibility, according to Arun Motianey, director of fixed income strategy at Roubini Global Economics.

A Japan-like outcome is a big risk for the developed world with deflation a big danger, he said….. With both these factors hitting growth, the threat of the world economy folding in on itself is now ever-present, Motianey said.”If we slide into deflation – the likely fate of the developed market – a Japan-style outcome will become inevitable,” he said.

Come to the downtown library Tuesday night at 6:15 pm if you want to know just what a Japanese style outcome looks like.   It will be one heck of a ride, that much is pretty much certain.

On August 6, 2010, the ArchAngel Institute will present yet another program on a crisis in progress that every American must take to heart.  That crisis is a demographic crisis.  In Demographic Winter we heard a stateswoman from Latvia describe it as a “demographic catastrophe” that threatened the very existence of her nation.  She is not overreacting, most in the West are under-reacting.

Post modernity is an anti-culture that destroys its own future.  It does this through greed (debt burdens), through wars of aggression, through environmental rapes (the Gulf) and through a war against children that shows itself in a contraceptive culture (with abortion as plan B).

Post moderns eat their own.

There is good news in all of this — for those traditional cultures that have rejected post modernity.

Unfortunately for us, some in those same traditional cultures want to see us erased from global memory, mostly for being post modernists.

We have some very hard choices ahead — most of them being the result of some very bad choices in our collective past.

The Demographic Bomb is a video presenting why those bad choices were put before us.  It names the names and points the finger.  Here is one hint:

Please save Friday evening, August 6 on your calender — note that this is a change from July 23.

In tonight’s Academy of Christian Thought we will study the Roman Republic and the statesman Cicero as contributors to American Order.  We will be introduced to C. Cleon Skousen, author of The 5000 Year Leap.

Class begins in the downtown Allen County Public Library at 7:15 pm.  The Demographic Winter will be shown at 6:15 pm.

Here is a foretaste of Cicero (pictured) , a statesman of the Roman Republic who had great impact upon our Founders:

But the most foolish notion of all is the belief that everything is just which is found in the customs of laws of nations … What of the many deadly, the many pestilential statutes which nations put in force?  These are no more deserve to be called laws than the rules of a band of robbers might pass in their assembly.  For if ignorant and unskilled men have prescribed deadly poisons instead of healing drugs, these cannot possibly be called physicians’ prescriptions; neither in a nation can a statute of any sort be called a law, even though the nation (in spite of it being a ruinous regulation) has accepted it.

It is interesting to juxtapose the above over and against the order of the Indiana Board of Law Examiners denying my motion to enter the Indiana bar — and sentencing me to not even so move again for five years (the maximum sentence) when child molesters are routinely given a two year sentence and serial drunk drivers less than that. What is my “crime” that renders me unfit to be an Indiana attorney?

Here is their final verdict on me:

The Applicant now has obtained [a federal court] order vacating the federal district court judgment requiring him to pay $61,000 [directly to the abortion industry].  He no longer is under that legal obligation.  But he made clear to the Hearing Panel that would not pay that judgment even if collections efforts were made because he could not provide financial support to the plaintiffs in that lawsuit, who were providers of abortion.  He testified at the hearing to his obligation to disobey laws that contradicted his religious beliefs under certain circumstances.  … the Hearing panel believes that a member of the Indiana bar must obey Indiana law and federal law, even when doing so violates an attorney’s conscience, and that an avoweed willingness not to do so is disqualifying.

Unsigned order of the IBLE, September 25, 2009, reviewed and upheld by the Indiana Supreme Court.

I was forced to choose between the rule of Cicero and the reign of Justice Randall Shepard (pictured), between the principles of natural law and the power of legal positivism.  I went with the former in both instances, and so now am paying the price.  Religious dissidents must be punished.  I have been.

Just like I would have been (more…)

Come to the Allen County Right to Life event at Concordia Theological Seminary Friday night to see this vivacious young leader of pro-life activism live and in person.  Much thanks to the Mary Cross Tippmann Foundation for underwriting the costs of this event.

The Institute agrees with the Arabian proverb that one can ““Judge a man by the reputation of his enemies”

Here is just some of what Lila’s enemies say about her. (more…)

COURSE TITLE: Learning the Foundational Law:  Natural, Constitutional and Higher

DESCRIPTION:  We will use Dr. Charles Rice’s fantastic resource 50 Questions on the Natural Law, What it is and Why We Need It to study how the Natural Law supports our constitutional republic.  Our study will include the foundations of western law, Church, state and the First Amendment, civil disobedience and Christian citizenship.  Additional resources will include the Manhattan Declaration and Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter from a Birmingham jail. Lectures and reading assignments will be utilized to help participants fully understand these important concepts.

TIME & PLACE: Every Tuesday evening beginning at 7:15 p.m. on June 29 (at the ArchAngel Institute and/or Allen County Public Library) and continuing until the end of August.   Preparation is needed for this program – usually no more than an hour or two of reading per session from the Rice book or case law.  (Including Roe v. Wade and other case of great moment)

TOPICS TO BE COVERED (nonexhaustive): Ancient roots, Gregorian reforms , Magna Carta , Blackstone, Declaration of Independence Constitutions,  Bill of Rights , Secession, Incorporation Doctrine  Law and religion , Law and abortion, Law and family , Civil disobedience

INSTRUCTOR:  ArchAngel Institute Executive Director Bryan J. Brown, licensed in Kansas (not licensed in Indiana).  Member of the bar of the United States Supreme Court, more than twenty years experience in legal issues (as constitutional law attorney, plaintiff, defendant, civil, criminal and appellate actions), multiple winning appellate cases before federal courts of appeal on First Amendment issues.  Graduate of Regent University School of Law, summa cum laude.)

Age limit:  Under 18 only with sponsoring adult.   None under 15 unless gifted.

Disclaimer:  Brown is not approved as an instructor at law by the Indiana authorities, who found him lacking in the nonstatutory and undefined (but evidently essential) quality of “insight.”  (Insight is thought to be a synonym for argeeing on the issues with the forces of political correctness (i.e. cultural Marxism).) Here are the high ranking Indiana attorneys (Brown’s potential rivals in court had he been licensed) who weighed Brown in their scales and rejected him for, among other things, his religious perspectives and view of law well grounded in American history and political science:   http://www.archangelinstitute.org/indianas-legal-glitterati-on-attorneys-like-elena-kagan/)

The Board of Law Examiners responsible for the processing of Brown’s file and alleged due process breakdown found therein: Michael M. Yoder (Kendallville), Gary K. Kemper (Madison), Barbara Brugnaux (Lafayette), Cynthia S. Gillard (Elkhart), Gilbert King, Jr. (Gary), Maria Pabon Lopez (Indianapolis), Jon B. Laramore (Indianapolis), Charlotte F. Westerhaus (Indianapolis) and Leslie C. Shively (Evansville)
