Money, Guns, and War
Three keystones are; Money, Guns and War. Those three issues will really strike at the whole basis of the empire. Money: Ron Paul told folks, we’ve got to end the Fed and challenge the federal reserve monopoly. So, many folks became early adopters of cryptocurrency and now professional economists are starting to wonder if this…
Jeff Miller
September 17th Crestview Terrace Jeff Miller Candidate for State House Lives in College Station, Texas Chair of Brazos County Libertarian Party Elkins: Jeff, What do you think about the Lawsuit? Some of us don’t know anything. Jeff: I think it’s a joke that the incumbent Republican would be “injured” by having to compete with me,…
Secession in Saint Kitts and Nevis
Another less well known, but equally interesting case of admission of the right to secession is to be found in the federal republic of Saint Kitts and Nevis, comprising those two homonymous islands in the Caribbean. The 1983 Constitution grants the smaller island —Nevis— the unilateral right to secede. The rule specifies that independence must…
State of Local Privatization
Robert W. Poole, Jr. said that a local government could be operated by three people, a manager, a lawyer, and a secretary in his book “Cutting Back City Hall.” So, I wanted to find out the current state of privatization in local government. The International City/County Managers Association (ICMA) has been assessing local government practices,…
Secession in Ethiopia
This is probably the world’s most explicit Constitution regarding secession and plurinationality. The Ethiopian Constitution proclaims the “unrestricted” right of “Nations, Nationalities and Peoples” to “self-determination up to secession” (Article 39.1). The African country —which from late 19th century until the end of the Cold War sought to build a highly centralized power— has been…
Rule of Law
Rule of law is one of the main reasons to even have a state. Yet it isn’t done well by governments. Research done by Robert Poole in Alameda County, California illustrates this; in one year there were 98,218 felonies reported to the police. Victimization studies conducted by LEAA and the U.S. Census show that actual…
Secession in Canada
After the 1995 self-determination referendum in Quebec, in which independence was rejected by a margin of just 1% of the votes, the Canadian government —at that time led by anti-independence Quebecois Jean Chrétien— asked the Supreme Court to clarify whether Quebec was allowed to unilaterally secede. In response, the Court issued the 2 S.C.R. 217…
JACK CASEY
Author of The Royal Green series By the time I was of voting age in Austin, Texas, I was a pro War-on-Terror hawkish Republican with an ‘ends justify the means’ authoritarian nightmare of a worldview. Voting for the first time in the 2010 ‘Tea Party’ wave of Republicans to unironically support ‘small government’ helped expose…
Kyle Anzalone
Found Ron Paul in ’09. I was a libertarian within a few months. Liberty Defined was a key book for me. I read my Rand, Rothbard, Sowell, Woods, Schiffs, and Camus over the next few years and was an AnCap by ’13. I guess I’d call myself an ancap. The goal is to get people…
ROXY ELIZABETH
Even as a child I despised arbitrary authority so you might say that I have always been a libertarian. Ideologically, I am a voluntaryist, although I am not against using politics as a form of self-defense. The best-case scenario with the least amount of pain and suffering would be societal moves in the direction of…
