Ingenuity & Self-Determination/ The True Economic Force Of The American Individual

  Is it the prerogative of the Federal Reserve to guide and protect the American economy? What tools and strategies have they nominally employed in order to effect this in the short and long-term? What is their legacy in the 20th century, and how should the understandings of their work in the past century help inform the reliance of Americans to continue looking unto that same ā€˜non-Federal,’ Federal Reserve in the 21st century? Created in 1913 through an act of Congress, the Federal Reserve is an independent bank that centralizes its influence of monetary power in an administrative role amongst all major American banks, wherein they set interest rates, inform the Federal Government on strategies they deem proper for the domestic economy, can print money, and control the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar,—this having a global effect on the global flow of money. Likewise, as a central bank, the Federal Reserve can work in consortium with other central banks from other nations in...

What Is The True Interest Of Government?

The plowing forth of the path of liberty is not unto new ground,  but upon a soil that does not tire or deplete; the tilling of its understanding and then its defense generating its vitality once more— Trodden first in the reading of the Declaration of Independence,  closely thereafter in the recognition of the altruist selfless servants of liberty, and finally, in the present,  with our relentless defense of the same. What is the true interest of our American republic as a constitutional representative government; that ordered array of elected and chosen of the people to care and protect the people as a nation of laws, according to its fundamental laws, and the laws created from these? How shall we order the interpretation of laws, guarding against self-interest, and the sleights that have characterized the few, or the majority to accumulate an imbalance of power, thus shifting the equilibrium of American government from serving all, to serving some? Who is resp...

An Economy of Dynamic Economies/ Individual Self-Determination v. Command & Control

  In all of the civilizations of the world across all time, not in Rome, nor Egypt, not in England, or in China, not in India, nor in Russia, has such unification of mind and heart met together in agreement to become a political community of people of such diversity, and with such an adherence to individual liberty and justice, as was accomplished in 1776 with the creation of the United States of America, and its founding charter, our Declaration of Independence. A writing incasing a proclamation of natural, fundamental law: after great deliberations amongst representatives of the diverse people of its land, and also amongst the local assemblies of the people, closely following, supporting, and placing the sentiment of their hearts, and their best understandings of the spirit of liberty that had to be the core of a better government for and of the people. That entire process itself, (1) the formation and support of our first government (the Continental Congress, 1774-76), and (2) t...

On Ordered Liberty & American Tradition: A Response To The 'Alito Draft Opinion' on Roe v. Wade

In the judicial process of the personnel in our U.S. Supreme Court, namely, the manner of approach unto the question of constitutionality of abortion in what is known as the ā€˜Alito Draft Opinion,’ an authentic opinion voted upon of all the justices, with the exception of Chief Justice John Roberts having not yet inputed his vote, and such an opinion not formally announced as an official decision, yet released to the ā€˜media press’ from within that Court , the voting of Justices Gorsuch, Barrett, Alito, and Thomas, are tendered in support of the framing of the issue by Alito, and in his solution unto the issue, whereas, Justices Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan, voted in opposition to the resolution. Justice Alito cites the national, political contention of the issue of abortion, and brings our attention to his understanding of the matter as he officially frames it. Given his position as a Justice in our U.S. Supreme Court, the gravity of the issue before him and his colleagues, the exercis...
