Political parties in America and how they affect our daily lives.
As well as our economy and our freedoms.
Let's begin by examining the current political landscape in America. While the two predominant parties, Democratic and Republican, are widely known, there are several other active parties shaping the political discourse. These include The Libertarian Party, Constitutional Party, Green Party, Socialist Party, Natural Law Party, Reform Party, American Independent Party, and The Peace and Freedom Party.
Before we really dive into this article, It’s worth mentioning this particular topic will be dissected over the course of a few articles related to each other. Each looking at a different political party from the above-mentioned list.
Taking a broader view of our political system and its dynamics, we realize that there's much more to consider beyond our own country's politics. It's essential to analyze the political landscapes of other nations as well. Notably, some world leaders harbor strong negative sentiments, not only toward our country but also toward the entire global community. Their desires hinge on witnessing our nation and its allied countries reduced to rubble.
Turning our focus to domestic politics, we find ourselves amidst growing conflicts in the metaphorical battle between Conservatives and the "woke" camp, comprising Liberals/Progressives. This is a complex situation, and it prompts us to ponder a significant question: "What steps can be taken to alter the current trajectory?"
The answer to this question will shed light on the potential courses of action.
Realistically, it's doubtful that there's much we, as conservatives, libertarians, and freedom-loving Americans, can do to effect rapid change. As a metaphorical analogy goes, once the trains are in motion, our role as right-wing individuals is akin to "pumping the brakes." While the trains may eventually reach their intended destination, the journey might take longer than initially anticipated, but they will, in fact, get there.
This overlooked reality underscores the fact that our voting power isn't absolute. While we may have wielded more influence as citizens decades ago, the powers that be have orchestrated the landscape to align with their overarching intentions. This holds true not just within the U.S., but on a global scale. It's a self-deception to believe in complete freedom and autonomy, as the biggest lie we tell ourselves pertains to our imagined 100% independence. Granted, we're not currently facing the threat of persecution for our faith or devoid of the rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Yet, it's plausible that these rights are being gradually eroded, potentially leading us towards a future "USSA" (United Socialist States of America).
To clarify, this discussion isn't meant to be alarmist or sensationalist in nature.
With this in mind, it becomes imperative to recognize that relying solely on nightly news broadcasts or mass media reports for information leaves us as a nation severely misinformed. This is concerning, as the signs of misinformation are already visible. The concept is straightforward: as long as a nation remains "Fat, Dumb, and Happy," they continue their daily routines, blissfully unaware of the challenges looming just beyond their blinds.
Let's dig into the intricate landscape of political parties and their impact.
Starting with the "Libertarian Party," it's essential to grasp their “core principles,” which revolve around individual liberty, limited government, and personal responsibility. Libertarians advocate for the notion that individuals should be free to live their lives according to their preferences, as long as their choices do not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others.
A fundamental aspect of their ideology is "personal responsibility." This is made up of a few tenants. One such tenant is this: “Choice and Consequences:
This encompasses the belief that individuals have the autonomy to make their choices but must also be prepared to face the outcomes, whether positive or negative. This philosophy aligns with the saying, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes," reflecting a universal truth applicable beyond political parties. Incorporating such life lessons into education from an early age is pivotal. It's crucial to guide the upcoming generations in the right direction, ensuring they possess a solid understanding of historical contexts and cultural values. Neglecting this responsibility would lead to the erosion of critical knowledge that defines societies.
If we as a populace aren’t diligent in teaching the next generation and the up-and-coming generations about history and our past as a culture as well as a people. They’ll lose valuable knowledge.
To quote 1984, we have this prescient line from George Orwell.
In concurrence with the Libertarian Party's principles, there is a strong emphasis on "Economic Freedom." This involves supporting free-market capitalism and opposing excessive government intervention in the economy. The concept of voluntary transactions without burdensome regulations or taxation is paramount. Some libertarians even advocate for the elimination of government entities like the Federal Reserve.
Considering the trajectory of our nation's finances and economy, certain concerning trends come to light. An internet search reveals alarming indicators, including the rise of “Central Bank Digital Currencies” (CBDCs), the potential implementation of social credit scores, soaring inflation rates, and the devaluation of the dollar over time. For instance, the value of $1 in 2005 has depreciated to $0.63 in 2023, reflecting a cumulative price increase of 56.52% due to an average inflation rate of 2.52% annually. These figures may seem unrelated, but they hold significant implications for our financial stability and the broader global stage.

The repercussions of the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrated the financial vulnerabilities within the US economy. Government interventions, such as stimulus packages and rent moratoriums, led to unforeseen consequences. While some wisely continued to meet their financial obligations, others took advantage of the situation, making frivolous purchases. The underlying economic challenges were exacerbated by measures like quantitative easing, a problem that has persisted through multiple administrations.
The looming concern is the diminishing confidence in the American dollar, with a ticking clock leading toward potential global ramifications. It's important to comprehend the multifaceted connection between economic indicators and political decisions.

In summary, a comprehensive understanding of political ideologies and economic realities is crucial for informed citizenship. The intersection of these factors shapes our society and its future, underscoring the significance of continued education and active participation in the political discourse.
What does this insight presuppose about the future of our nation’s economy?
Well, it had a lot to say about topics concerning our economy as well as other talking points. Some of which we may not know nor understand until after the fact, at least for the general layman.
For those in the know, they’ll either become quite wealthy, or we’ll see our economy tank due to financial issues…
But at the end of the day, the people in positions of power do not want people and organizations to lose confidence in the dollar because should the dollar be knocked off the world trade status, that would have significant reverberations for their wealth.
Which is a language that the Bezos and Musks of the world understand very well.
For the little guys like you and me, though, we would be destitute and headed down a river without a paddle. To put it lightly.
