Harlos Reinstated

We are advised by Caryn Ann Harlos that her LNC email link has been reactivated.

Seebeck Delivers Opinion on Harlos Appeal

Mike Seebeck has delivered his opinion on Harlos’s appeal of her suspension by the Libertarian National Committee.  The appeal is rather long.  The longer rear part is a timeline of the odd events involving the LNC, the Kennedy campaign, the Colorado State Party, Angela McArdle, Caryn Ann Harlos, and transfers of large amounts of money.

The Free State Project Betrayed – Part 6

We reach the end of Jason Sorens’ original proposal.  We continue next time with his revised proposal. Sorens wrote: Unfortunately, I am neither an “organizer” type nor a well-known libertarian “personality.” I’m an aspiring political scientist, a thinker; I don’t know the first thing about leading, and my name doesn’t have cache. But if luminaries like, perhaps, Walter Williams and…

LNC’s FEC Financial Filings Are Strange

Readers will have noted that we have not recently posted as much on LNC finances, as revealed in their Federal Election Commission filings.  The end-of-year report is not due until the end of the month.

The Free State Project Betrayed — Part 5

But didn’t we fight a war over secession almost 150 years ago? Wouldn’t the feds just send in the troops to crush our little experiment? The answer, in short, is no. In “modern, democratic” countries the use of violence against legal secessionist movements is out of the question. For example, no one advocates using force to prevent Quebec from leaving…

Harlos Awaits Restoration; Late Bulletins

We have additional news here: LNC Questions Asked. LNC Response. Caryn Ann Harlos awaits restoration of her privileges as LNC Secretary.  Quoting from her X.com page, dated January 7, 2:33PM: “I requested my full LNC member rights to access be restored last night. It was late, understandable not done immediately. But it is not hard and I still do not.…

The Free State Project Betrayed — Part 4

We begin with the original proposal of Jason Sorens, as continued here: Some activism of this sort has been tried, involving “monkey-wrenching” � la Claire Wolfe, “dropping out,” not using government services, etc. The problem with these strategies is that: 1) they are small-scale and unlikely to make a noticeable difference; 2) the more radical projects require abandoning family and…

Harlos Suspension Overturned

By a vote of 6-1, the Libertarian Party Judicial Committee has overturned the suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos as Libertarian National Committee Secretary, restoring her to her Secretary position.  Full Judicial Committee findings will be available in a few days.

LNC Calls for End to Birthright Citizenship

It’s right on their web pages, under issues.  Perhaps we should say it’s far right on their web pages. We quote teh LNC Web Pages at LP.org.: “To help balance the conflict between those who want migration freedom and those concerned about dangerous persons coming over, [Editor: Emphasis ours.] the Libertarian Party calls for an end to birthright citizenship and…
