Globalism, Media Narrative, and National Sovereignty
Truth and Freedom
Hi friends,
I’ve curated the below from several sources. This will give you an overview.
(January State of Play: Globalism)
Many Americans today feel something is off — not just with politics, but with how information is presented. People can look around their own communities and see one thing, then turn on the news and hear something completely different. That disconnect has created frustration and confusion, not because citizens lack information, but because the picture being presented does not feel real or like the full picture.
Over time, many important decisions have slowly shifted away from voters and toward large institutions that operate far from public view. These include international organizations, regulatory bodies, and global forums that influence policy through agreements, standards, and funding requirements - money - rather than through laws passed by elected representatives.
Working with other nations is not a bad thing. Cooperation can bring benefits in trade, research, and security. The concern arises when cooperation turns into coordination — when decisions are made behind closed doors and presented as a done deal instead of Constitutional process.
Media coverage plays a major role in shaping how people understand these issues. Many Americans have noticed that certain stories receive constant attention, while others — especially positive developments tied to conservative policies — receive little coverage or none. At the same time, opinion and commentary often replace actual reporting.
This imbalance matters. When people feel their experiences are ignored or dismissed, trust in institutions begins to break down. It becomes harder to know which information is meant to inform and which is meant to persuade.
At the global level, many organizations now promote broad policy goals on issues such as climate, finance, technology, and public health. These proposals are often framed as universal solutions, even though countries have different laws, constitutions, and values. What works in one nation may not work — or may not even be lawful — in another.
National sovereignty does not mean rejecting the world. It means keeping decision-making accountable to the people. In a constitutional republic, major policies should be debated publicly and decided by elected representatives, not adopted administratively/outside of lawful processes.
In recent years, Americans have become more and more aware of this imbalance. There is growing awareness that a nation can cooperate globally while still protecting its right to govern itself. Transparency, accountability, and consent are not obstacles to progress — they are what make progress legitimate.
Sovereignty is not about isolation. It is about preserving the values America was founded on and have served Americans well for 250 years.
