Going the wrong way, along with the crowd

This is an old meme, but it’s definitely one way of looking at things at the beginning of 2026.

Too many Americans, too many christians, too many people around the planet are in this situation.

TPOL tends to dwell on the evils of government, for good reason. But we also recognize that our lives, our liberty, and our property are at risk due to many hazards. Hazards that are created and sustained not just by government, but by big and even small government. By religious hierarchies. By non-governmental organizations, both “beneficial” and criminal. By lone-wolf and small-gang predators.

In 2026, we can expect to see the same things over and over again. The same lies, the same propaganda, the same false and exaggerated claims. The same accusations and condemnation.

We must not only ignore what we are hearing much of the time. We must also help teach others to do the same. We must pay careful attention to what we and others are told. We must challenge constantly.

For many years, Mama Liberty and the present publishers and staff of The Price of Liberty commensurated with each other over the understanding that we often will never learn (at least not this side of Heaven) the real facts about so many things. About events, about battles, about scandals, and legislation. So we have to go on some assumptions.

Things that can go wrong, will go wrong. (Murphy’s law)

Don’t believe everything you hear.

Remember there are three common ways to lie: don’t tell the truth, don’t tell all the truth, and tell the truth but make it sound like a lie.

Follow the money.

Put not your trust in princes. Or lawyers. Or politicians. Or “pastors.” Or civil servants.

Yes, the conspiracy theory of history is true. People and families and businesses and governments have been conspiring for all of human history to gain power, take control, gain wealth, and many other things.

But… the accidental theory of history is also true: the conspiracies seldom are completely, or even partially, successful. The wild geese fly, the weather intervenes, earthquakes and volcanoes and droughts all impact what happens. But most important, sometimes people rise up and try to defeat the conspiracies, the powers that be, the parasites.

We’ve seen it in recent years. Someone invents something new, someone markets that invention. Someone stands firm when they realize that “this can’t go on.”

We think we’ll see more of that in 2026. Be part of that bunch of lemmings who chose NOT to go over the cliff just because everyone else is.

Be free, live free, and help others become more free in 2026.
