Eurobums, Again?!

Europeans were quick to borrow in 1914-19, but slow to repay 1931

Ukraine was invaded by a Monarcho-Socialist neighbor under orders of an elected politician who made himself dictator-for-life. But Hitler has been dead for 78 years, and here we are again pouring money into a State whose 1991 Constitution is framed in vague and glittering generalities.(link) It’s “right to life” plank is not the dictatorial enslavement of actual persons already born our own Constitution allows in Texas. Its socialized medicine and handout provisions aren’t all that different, at a glance, from those of our own Kleptocracy. Ukrainians love taxes, but the Autonomous Republic of Crimea appears not to have requited that love.

Ukrainian women have the same rights as men–a condition not yet attained in These States, but the meaning of “rights” in both places seldom survives the question “at whose expense?” The Ukraine constitution imports foreign treaties as law, just as our own does. True, the USA never ratified the Treaty of Versailles. But These States helped foist prohibition laws and reparations onto Europe, and did sponsor the Hague antiopium convention that triggered the opium-farming Balkans into wars that escalated into WW1.(link) The Hoover Administration pushing overregulation and prohibition on the rest of the world with the June, 1931 Limitation Convention certainly made matters worse–and caused a German dictator to gain power.(link)

Europe has wallowed in war since the invention of mystical altruism, a habit less popular under the U.S. Constitution (if we ignore Sherman’s doing Native Americans the way he did Georgia Confederates). Still, the lure of bank interest on loans to arm Europe beckons anew. But why not inquire into what Europeans call rights? Unlike other Europeans, Ukrainians have a right to free speech–until someone calls that a crime. But the only arms they can keep and bear are on the flag they get to wave–with little effect on Russian invaders. Our Second Amendment says our militia can keep and bear nuclear weapons. Ukrainians do have free speech, and even freedom from having religion forced on them (Texas and Alabama take note). Let’s skip the Third but note that they do require search warrants over there, the way our Fourth and Fifth Amendments used to do, and they even have jury trials and a limitation on the State’s power to lock people up. Like many Americans, Ukrainian authorities seem unaware of out Ninth and Tenth Amendments, and offer to coerce people on “ecological” grounds.

The glaring gap is the lack of a Second Amendment. If Ukraine had even tactical nuclear weapons able to reach, say, the width of Texas or length of California, no Monarchic Fuhrer would dare invade them. Now that the temptation of weakness has had its usual effect, they can’t join NATO’s nuclear umbrella until hostilities cease. Whose fault is that?

If the USA were to practice free trade instead of prohibitionism, and keep our Second Amendment unentangled by foreigners, instead of subsidies we could sell them neutron bombs at a premium for cash. Once Ukraine decides freedom is worth keeping and bearing arms, the Russian people can then decide whether a predatory and aggressive National Socialist Reich is a thing worth keeping.

White League 1875

Conservative Democratic Party Values

Lysander Spooner called President U.S. Grant “the commander of our hired murderers” in his protest against the legal language of the Civil War income tax. Yet Grant himself had a lot to say about murderers in a speech reprinted in Canada. Here’s the context.

On Easter 1873 a bunch of Klan White League rednecks murdered a courthouse-full of Blacks in Grant Parish, Louisiana. The parish/county was named after Grant and the town of Colfax, where the arson and executions took place, named after his VP. Locals–including politicians, newspapers, businesses and cops–supported the rioters. They hired the indicted defendants’ lawyers, bought them hot meals, circulated petitions to free them as heroes and cheered them in court for the next three years.

Meanwhile, antiabortion/censorship Comstock laws enraged Northern voters against all Republicans. Indictments based on the Enforcement Act (a postwar anti-Klan law) resulted in a hung jury in New Orleans, where the defendants were tried in the Customs House. For the retrial a proslavery Supreme Court judge intervened to strike down the indictments and free the mass-killers by alleging a drafting error. The prosecutor predicted violence would run riot and it did. He got a hearing from Grant and Grant made the speech the Ottawa paper had the temerity to print. (link) Here are some highlights very reminiscent of the America that passed up the chance to elect Gary Johnson:

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – Washington, January 13th. To the Senate of the United States:… “But it may be proper here to refer to the election of 1868, by which the Republican vote of the state through fraud and violence was reduced to a few thousands, and the bloody riots of 1866 and 1868 to show that the disorders are not due to any recent causes, or to any late action of the Federal authorities preparatory to the election of 1872.

“A shameful and undisguised conspiracy was formed to carry the election against Republicans, without regard to law or right, and to that end the most glaring frauds and forgeries were committed in the returns. After many colored citizens have been denied registration, and others deterred by fear from casting their ballots, when the time came for a canvas of the votes in view of the foregoing facts, William Kellogg, the Republican candidate for Governor brought a suit upon the equity side of the United States Circuit Court for Louisiana against Warmouth and others who had obtained possession of the returns of the election, representing that several thousand voters of the state had been deprived of the election franchise on account of their color, and praying that steps might be taken to have their votes counted, and for general relief to enable the court to inquire as to the truth of these objections. (Plenty more… but already this sounds like the 2016 and 2020 elections).

“I quote from the charge of Judge Woods, of the United States Circuit Court, to the jury in the case of the United States versus Cruickshank and others in New Orleans in March 1874: (description of the Colfax massacre executions). It is a lamentable fact that insuperable obstructions were thrown in the way of punishing the murderers, and the so-called Conservative papers of the State not only justified the massacre, but denounced as federal tyranny and despotism the attempt of United States officers to bring them to justice. (Description of the Conshatta massacre in which six mostly white Republicans were kidnapped, taken away and murdered October 8th, 1873. Description of ads taken out promising to boycott farmers who hire “radical” voters).… See the full text for more, or read this excellent book on the entire affair. (link)

Grant’s use of “Conservative” harks back to the Democratic platform of 1856, where conservative meant “keep slavery in the Constitution or we shoot the Customs Union!” The threat was offered in flowery language, but see for yourself: (link) The situation then was similar to what we see now, package-deal alliances between strange bedfellows. Like today’s Christian National Socialists, younger rebs wanted to freely bully–even rape slave girls and make them breed. The plantation owners wanted to import agricultural implements with low import tariffs, so they became allies. The Northern Accumulation meanwhile wanted a high tariff wall so its industrial cartels could gouge the plantation owners with high-priced agricultural implements and rail rates. So they teamed up with religious fanatics eager to use the force of law to stop young southerners from making sexual use of slave girls who could not legally resist their advances–or paltering over them at venues such as quadroon balls. Hence the war.

It so happens this sort of thing was also going on in China. Settlements installed by dealers in opium, victuals and hardware kept Asian concubines in a jurisdiction all their own, and European women and religious fanatics were powerless to use force against them. The advent of photography–and cheap porn–exacerbated that fanaticism throughout Christendom… all the way to the pagan Tammany wards of New York, where pious prohibitionists tilted against the evils of dirty books, Sunday baseball and saloons staying open.(link) The very idea of Chinamen ogling nekkid white ladies was the opposite of what Kaiser Wilhelm, Teddy Roosevelt and any number of British blimps and toffs cared to think about. (link)

Softlee, softlee, catchee monkey. Racial collectivist kleptocracy then, as now, had reached through the hole into the ballot box for a fistful of ballots in support of its coercive agenda; suddenly the plan backfired but the fist would not let go of the ballots to break free. Both entrenched looter parties face this same dilemma. Cold War republicans want reliable electric power and bombs dropping on foreigners, yet their superstitious factions insist that bullying women and shooting blacks, latinos and hippies takes precedence. (link)

Some Democrats suspect that asset-forfeiture looting wrecks the economy and prefer live kids to dead conscripts or cop violence statistics.(link) But their collectivist factions prefer to eat the rich, castrate kids and ban energy to teach Whitey a lesson!(link) The Libertarian party works around these traps by using law-changing spoiler votes to make the looters drop their suicidal planks.(link) They can learn to tolerate freedom or OR go after the initiation of force their most vicious “friends” desire. But for every initiation of force there is unequal yet apposite reprisal force. Libertarian votes packed enough leverage to already do away with cruel laws against plant leaves in most states.(link)

The Reluctant Cannibal Ploy

Let women decide birth control? Let people choose plant leaves? Legalize nuclear energy? Quit robbing us? RIDICULOUS!

God’s Own Prohibitionists cannot fathom how anyone could respond–other than with moist-eyed gratitude–to having their dog shot, the door kicked in and everything they own taken before being frog-marched to prison. The other half of the Kleptocracy, is likewise baffled that anyone can fail to understand that 2+2= not 4 but Global Warmunism and that freezing in the dark is goood, nuclear energy baaad. After all, anonymous sockpuppet scientist-impersonators tell them the alternative to banning electricity is to burn in Hell forever, just like the nuns and teetotalers taught them in third grade. So how do you sell these superstitions? (link)

A government bureaucracy? Fake or tamper with temperature records? RIDICULOUS! (link)

Men with guns were the choice of German national and Russian international socialists. Those, together with endless repetition and defining any alternative hypothesis as ipso facto Thoughtcrime, worked just fine for them. These techniques worked for the Catholic Inquisition, Mohammedan jihads and Lutheran Jew-burning crusades for centuries, following millennia of similar traditions. But the fallacy of equivocation and disjunctive fallacy do the heavy lifting for pyramids of severed heads in China and France and mass graves in the more Reformist régimes. Yet only in 1955 did the Solomon Asch experiment reveal that the social pressure of fake unanimity induces more error than torture or brainwashing. (link)

Ask an econazi to look at the NASA graph above, or ask a MAGA girl-bullier how any people died of LSD or marijuana overdoses, and you get the same answer: squirming evasion as doublethink kicks in, then glossolalia. The reproducible result is projectile spewing of half-digested lies–never the true and simple answer, which is zero. Try it: paste in the question and see.

Here’s another: “How many people have died from civilian utility reactor accidents?” Paste that in and the screen fills up with 6M pages of military deadly weapon accidents, communist government accidents, rumored possible maybes, what-ifs and “let’s suppose” fairy-tales, when the objectively true answer, again, is zero. Yet search engines are overwhelmed with both varieties of fake bullsh!t, just as schools and newspapers are overwhelmed. Anyone who gives the correct Emperor-is-naked answer is ignored, vilified and attacked in that order until they themselves become zero to the dupes. When surrounded by similarly-duped victims of fictional garbage, parroting is not only permitted but mandatory. Yet freedom to speak exists when surrounded mainly by people who have personal knowledge of the actual facts surrounding either question. Social pressure then is not the determining factor.

Nobody at a convention of electrical engineers will bat an eyelash at hearing that power utility reactor accidents have never killed anybody. Nobody at a Grateful Dead concert or anesthetists convention is the least bit surprised to hear that nobody has ever been killed by marijuana or LSD. But repeating “the wrong” one of these true statements at a Girl-Bullying MAGA rally or a screeching mob of ANTIFA anarchists can literally get you killed. These hysterical creeps cram Google full of 17 million pages of evasive drivel and doubletalk, not a true answer. They also elect force-initiating simians to both houses of Congress, who then name unquestionable fanatics to the courts. How? By getting you to vote against their enemies instead of for your friends.

The only way out is to look at what they target. Mystical bigots use political power to harm people they hate–jews, hippies, blacks, foreigners–whatever. Brainwashed anarcho-communists seek to weaken and disarm mystical bigot governments so they can be easily attacked or overthrown. Nothing attracts a following like blind hatred, so pressure groups with different agendas are attracted by the number of votes both hate groups can muster. People who do not want to be weakened, attacked and taken over by collectivist parasites (electrical engineers, bankers, corporate management, real estate moguls) gravitate around the powerful xenophobes to benefit from their voting followers. People who do not want to be forced to reproduce, or be shot, robbed and jailed over plant leaves or the wrong books gravitate toward the anarcho-communists–whom they correctly identify as just as violent as their competiors. Legitimate, factual knowledge counts for nothing as long as blindly ignorant hatred is what drives the ballot counts. Both tribes will tell any lie, silence any truth, abet any murderers to get the votes it takes to direct the men with guns to push their agenda. But for that they need those votes.

In answer to both the Libertarian party formed in 1971, successfully competed in the 1972 election and early in 1973 got the courts to overturn most bullying Comstockist legislation and put a stop to conscription.(link) Libertarians are not terrified by electrical power plants or plant leaves or non-poisonous drugs. Libertarians look for ways to replace rapine, disorder and “the violence of law” with voluntary commerce, security and opulence. It therefore follows, as night follows day, the LP has since 1973 been the target of mystical fascists and parasitical anarcho-communists alike, so eternal vigilance is still necessary. Americans have that third alternative, and even the fourth–of not voting at all–available to only a few citizens of the freest democracies. How will you exercise that choice?

Good Reading: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith (link) An interesting exercise is to read the 42 sentences in which the author uses the word “violence.” Then ask yourself if this is not, like coercion, an antonym of freedom.

More Good Reading: The Volstead Act. This law was passed to enforce the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which was gotten by the persistence of a small but intensely bigoted party earning 1.4% of the popular vote o average over the course of 11 electoral campaigns.

Libertarian Law-Changing

This is a simplified way to use a spreadsheet to approximate the lag phase of the sigmoid curve modeling the growth of the Libertarian Party. An online solver to worked to approximate this in the past, and the curve it produced looked a lot like this one. These curves are what election fraud forensics investigators use to test whether systematic tampering has occurred in elections, so you can see right away this sort of curve has practical applications. Petr Beckmann, PhD in Math and Electrical Engineering, recommended these curves in the July 1976 Access to Energy, and the book by Fisher, Energy crises in perspective, Wiley, 1974, which I cannot find. But how hard could it be?

The curve itself is spelt out with brisk alacrity as the Sigmoid Function on a Wolfram website.(link) Yet amid all the integrals, derivatives and Diff Eqs, there is not a single unit of measure to be had. All examples everywhere are of tree growth, Norway rats and how to use Chat GTP to deal with chicks–all extremes and no middle ground–like the Library in Hell made up entirely of Story Problem books. Greg Dunn, my long-suffering math tutor, suggested an alternative from the worlds of nuclear fallout and of finance and compound interest relevant to how vote share increases over the course of 13 election campaigns spanning 50 years: the Rule of 76. Here’s the plan:

The rule of 76 is useful in this case. To go from 4000 to 4 mil the number of votes would have to double about 10 times in 39 years or once every 3.9 years. 76/3.9 is aprox. 19. 4%. Open a spreadsheet and in 1A enter 1972, copy down incrementing 1 for each year up to 2011. In 1B enter 4000. In 2B enter “=(1b)*1.194. Copy down to the row of 2011. I got 4.029 mil.

Private correspondence

This worked. I changed the initial number to 1.172. The nice thing about spreadsheets is you can tweak and fiddle with them, like a lawyer leading a witness, and get the approximation you want. That tweak to the curve in the top image gives Gary Johnson 3,962,631 votes for the 2016 election. But Al Smith would say “Let’s look at the record.” The curve for this model gets all the other election counts wrong except the starting point where they say we got 3674–and the first electoral vote ever gotten by a woman in a national election. Here’s how reality stacks up against simple models:

Every picture tells a story. This one tells us women voters appreciated the LP having written the key verbiage that–like the Thirteenth Amendment–provided protection against the involuntary servitude of forced reproduction.(link) Even Canada benefited by the example and soon formed its own LP.(link) But that 12% per annum vote growth had to be gotten rid of. When Klan terrorists were lynching and intimidating black voters after the Civil War, Treasury agents infiltrated and testified. When Hitler’s National Socialists invaded Hollywood and Boston, Jewish volunteers infiltrated their organizations to bring them down.(link)

Visit Sinfest.xyz

This works both ways. The Looter Kleptocracy calling itself the Republican and Democratic parties is constantly infiltrated by agents, bigots and foreign influencers and does its own infiltrating to cut down on competition. They’d be fools not to, and we should have expected no less. The Libertarian party was instantly attacked by Bakuninistic anarchists like Murray Rothbard, of Mises Caucus deification, who practically wet himself with glee every time communist sloganeering replaced originalist Libertarian Platform language. Republicans and Democrats watched this with delicately suppressed chuckles of joy, but individualist women voters were not favorably impressed. When Reagan Republicans moved to reinstate Comstockist enslavement of women, the LP deleted individual rights for women from the platform–our booming vote share growth was instantly crippled. Only when it was too late–after God’s Own Prohibitionists packed the courts with mystical bigots–did voters wake up to the law-changing spoiler vote clout that WROTE Roe v Wade in the first place.(link) But the girl-bulliers saw that coming as well.

The LP needs volunteers conversant with logistics-curve spoiler-clout math, not whining anarco-pinkos or shellshocked MAGA rejects. Interestingly, there is an entire area of sigmoid curve math, the Volterra-Lotka equations, preoccupied mainly with predator-prey substitution scenarios. We don’t call it the looter Kleptocracy for nothing; those factions are nothing if not predatory aggressors, and blinkering the realization only makes the fact more dangerous.

Life v Anti-Life

1972 LP platform plank: “We further support the repeal of all laws restricting voluntary birth control or voluntary termination of pregnancies during their first hundred days.” (link) Roe was decided 16 days after our electoral vote was counted.
“If he [Reagan] doesn’t respect that fundamental a right, he cannot be a defender of any kind of rights.” Ayn Rand, 1976.

As Al Smith used to say in the teeth of controversy: “Let’s look at the record.” The LP formed as The Pill turned ten. Women activists not seen in droves since 1932 were everywhere. A Jewish Physician was for the second time arrested by a Christian Gestapo–this time for helping Canadian women (as individuals not protected by any 4th, 9th, 13th or 14th Amendments) Just Say No to forced reproduction.(link) Death in Childbed was the Victorian-Comstockist era entry in coroners’ records for pregnant women killed by voluntary + coerced childbirth. In California that meant 21 women in 100,000 childbirths when the LP formed. The trendline shows a sharp and consistent decrease as forced labor in childbirth was repealed. Fewer women died.

The Libertarian party organized against coercion and for freedom and individual rights. That successful plank was followed by a 15-year falling trend for lady deaths until the Biden-Bush-Reagan prohibitionist and pronatalist coercive frenzy kicked into the record. Starting in 1980 infiltrators hacked at the platform to remove LP defense of women’s individual rights from the platform. The graph above shows how California’s pregnant women fared as coercive mysticism tightened its grip on the violence of law. More women died in childbirth as the LP was steered away from women’s rights and toward anarcho-pederasty.(link)

All I did was search for “deaths in childbirth” graphs. This turned out to be difficult, as though such data were taboo or proscribed. I finally found the above. Armed with the image and exact title of the vertical axis I leave it to the reader to try to find that article. (hint: Lady Scientist) You might find this (link), or this (link) inadvertently showing how American women suffered increasing wholesale death after the Reagan, Holy War Bush and G Waffen Bush faith-based subsidies for violent prohibitionist mystical fanaticism became entrenched. The Obama Administration adopted the same cowardly waffling as the compromised Libertarian Party, and the outcome is plain to see–if you can find the articles. (link)

The mystics, rent-seekers and politicians hoping to gain from the re-enslavement of women–ALL of them this time around–beat their hairy chests and bellow “Pro-LIFE” at skeptics, miscreants and libertarians. The data, with no input from Ayn Rand or yours truly, shows the exact opposite! These ignorant and superstitious dupes sow death by coercion. Let’s reset the LP back to its original platform. (link)

Prohibitionist Communism

Prohibitionist Communism

In 1837 Imperial China deported East India Company opium traders

The American economy promptly collapsed. And now… (link)

As Great Britain liquidated State and municipal bonds and improvement debentures in These Sovereign States, money became scarce and violence broke out everywhere in what was dubbed the Panic of 1837. Armed mobs roved the streets setting up roadblocks. Others no less rowdy commandeered militia fieldpieces to attack government buildings.(link) Since English opium dumping was what Chinese nationalists had expelled, it is unsurprising that neo-Communist Chartist movements promptly perplexed Her Majesty’s Victorian government with violence almost American in its intensity in places like Birmingham.(link)

There is a Gentlemen’s Agreement in place to omit mentioning any connection between the opium traders being invited to leave China and the series of financial Panics, Crashes, Depressions, Wars and dictatorships that ensued on both sides of the Atlantic. Tall tales invented to explain away the Panic and unrest are invented out of whole cloth specifically to head off investigations and settle the science lest any malodorous interpretations come to light. The Opium Wars wrecked Chinese coastal towns and occupied Hong Kong.(link) American missionaries flocked there and sparked exponential growth of evangelical fanatics which spread Taeping civil war throughout China until after America’s own Civil War over import tariffs subsided. 

Remember the Indian Mutiny? Ignorant, superstitious hindoos and mussulmen, the story goes, were told that the measured gunpowder sachets for loading muskets had been waterproofed with: (A) beef tallow (if Hindu) or (B) pork lard (if Mohammedan). Outraged, the ignorant savages attacked their Christian benefactors only to be brutally put down–more in sorrow than in anger. Nowhere in any of these fabrications will the reader find a hint that during the Mutinies the British were burning down Chinese cities at that same time in the Second Opium War. Any such realization would make the Mutinies look like a master stroke of Chinese diplomacy in a neighboring country overrun and enslaved by The Anarchy of the EIC.(link)

Bartenders on America’s West Coast are perhaps to this day required to discriminate and inquire into the ancestry of patrons to exclude formulaic Native American ancestry categories as carefully as German National Socialist laws screened against anyone having Jewish ancestors.(link) Are the Chinese extra-susceptible to opiates the way Amerindians are deemed extra-susceptible to alcohol? If so, is the violence of prohibitory law a solution? 

Teetotalitarianism has in the past shown itself a mechanism that failed, destroyed national economies and resulted in violent revolts and upsurges in totalitarian coercion. Most people are unattracted to opiates just as most people do not guzzle alcohol until they wake up in a gutter. A mania for coercing everyone at gunpoint to save a hypothetical few from their own poor choices may well be the enslaving habit that needs to be broken. 

It is certainly a serious enough problem to make voting Libertarian a worthwhile endeavor.  The initiation of force has since the earliest of mud huts given rise to retaliation. This prompted the Golden Rule prescribing “Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you.” Eight months after the first military use of fission bombs caused the surrender of formerly enthusiastic aggressors, another version of non-aggression was formulated by Ayn Rand: “For a practical definition, if men merely agree that no man or number of men have the right to initiate the use of force against any human being (and that includes the forcible seizure of his property), that they have no such right for any purpose whatsoever, at any time whatsoever—that would be all we need, that would achieve a perfect Utopia on earth, that would include all the moral code we need.”

It is interesting to note that Japan had been used by the British as a sort of cat’s-paw for exporting morphine and syringes into China after the antiopium Boxer Rebellion and Boycotts of western exports in the McKinley-Roosevelt years. The combination of Western Imperial dumping in conflict with Eastern Imperial prohibitionism led to a chain of events–1907 Panic, 1911 revolution, Balkan Wars, WW1, Crash, Depression and WW2–that ended in weaponized nuclear explosions.

Translator wheedling

Trust me…

Twenty years ago I got rid of all contracts with translation agencies except for two. Beginners used to compile databases of translation companies and use those to generate personalized mail-merge letters offering to work for very little. When IBM and Microsoft released DOS 3.3, the Proprinter 2 and QuietWriter 3, translation shifted from Europe to America, and “very little” was pretty good. Over time, Europeans learned code pages and bought Windows and the market flattened with the entry of pauper labor.

The recessions that followed the Biden/Reagan Crash of 1987 and the Bush Jr Asset-Forfeiture Crash of 2008 wrecked the profitability of most middlemen. Yet translators are mostly stuck in a time machine, relying on pestering spam instead of personalized mailmerges. Every day I get propositions like:

Salutation: Dear “Hey You”
Attachment: some dreary CV in Word, which is a vehicle for macro viruses
Qualifications: no test passed, no language degree from a real university and no knowledge of math, physics or chemistry

All of these go straight to the trash. Once in a blue moon someone will address me by name, but instead of a link to their website or blog, they attach a dreary PDF. The truth is that anyone with enough language skills and entrepreneurship to be worth asking for help already has his of her own website and writes his or her own bids and NDAs. Translators who want to be taken seriously by law offices, engineering, geology, mining or oil companies, or doctors, manufacturers or what-have-you need websites with taking bilingual CVs, not spam with attachments.

I have boilerplate bids I have used for 20 years, and for a fee make these available to colleagues who will do me proud. Same goes for NDAs. For more on this see A Beginner’s Guide to Handling WIYRdos.(link) Don’t send me “Hey You” spam with Word attachments and no proof of ATA certification or a website. Instead, make your own website and/or blog–and make it attractive.

Mine have served me well for 20 years and freed me from ever again signing lengthy, one-sided “agreements” that never commit to actually paying me–much less doing it on time. Be an entrepreneur, live by your wits and build up clientele by offering satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Pretty soon beginners will be sending you spam with Word attachments begging to be exploited.

Law-changing Spoiler Vote

Tonie Nathan? Sarah Weddington? Linda Coffey? You?

Not so long ago, in a galaxy much like our own, a planet ruled by the parties of Richard Nignew, George Wallace and Nicky Ceausescu enslaved young males as invasion forces, shot or imprisoned people for the wrong plant extracts and enforced Comstock Laws impressing women into involuntary labor of reproduction and censoring all media.(link) Rebel partisans have organized the first Libertarian Party to neutralize the initiation of deadly force. Their 4000 votes merited judicial notice at the Supreme Court and that party’s Population plank was rewritten into a ruling that no State may send men with guns to threaten physicians so as to coerce women into involuntary servitude.

Fanatical proponents of racial eugenics, sacrificial suffering, lethal altruism, militaristic enslavement, totalitarian control of all trade and production and race-suicide bigotry have since that time sought to disarm and tax the population to exact cash subsidies to purchase votes for force-initiating Kleptocracy parties. At first these efforts only delayed progress toward freedom.

But after the Libertarian Party changed the outcome of the 2016 election by getting more votes than the difference between the entrenched Kleptocracy parties, a way was found to help a faction based on a Hun in a Hitler mustache take over the Libertarian National Committee. Anarchist communists masqueraded as Libertarians on many ballots, and the outcome was what you’d expect from host-parasite infiltration and sabotage:
Remember that when choosing delegates to send to the next national convention. Meanwhile, I am avoiding county and State parties that have been co-opted into the legalize-murder, no-borders, anarcho-communist usurpation efforts. We have been infiltrated and sabotaged before and rose again. The Libertarian statement of Principles will again restore an approximation of the original Brave New Party.

Why ranked voting?

Racial collectivist spoiler votes dismembered the Solid South

All major changes in America since 1840 have come from the platforms of small parties. Sometimes these parties themselves became Soft Machines in their own right or remakes of earlier Soft Machines whose names became associated with excessive corrupt venality and parasitism. Big Government Federalists collapsed and reformed first as Whigs, then as Red Republicans. Smaller parties, typically formed around a particular issue, in every case end up winning either by swallowing a legacy half of The Kleptocracy or by causing it to incorporate them and their platform as its own–as occurred when Nixon Republicans incorporated George Wallace Dixiecrats (complete with watered-down racial collectivism and prohibitionism) over the course of the 1968 and 1972 elections.

During those same elections the laissez-faire youth movement, with its Human Rights and Buffalo Party factions, was gradually submerged by Democrats pushing the sort of unionized socialist, socialist labor and communist parties that had multiplied sevenfold after FDR beat Herbert Hoover. Republicans absorbed the Prohibition Party and KKK in 1928 and 1932, enacting confiscatory policies that wrecked the banking system, then the entire economy. The Great Depression increased Communist Party membership till it practically swamped the FDR Administration. Activists concerned with repeal of cruel laws were submerged by established looter parties advocating a planned economy no less coercive than that of the Republican-Prohibition coalition of the Progressive Era and Roaring Twenties.

Dixiecrats divided the Dems after the JFK assassination and Vietnam debacle

The only real change has been the Nixon Anti-Libertarian Law of 1971, using the IRS to subsidize anti-libertarian party campaigns no matter how lamentable or deadly their aims. Now, suddenly, lobbyists for a gauntlet-style election process that lines up candidates and ranks them by the amount of hatred or adoration they elicit in extremely complicated processes intended to replace runoffs after close elections.

Speculative math aside, my question is: when was the last time a libertarian candidate won a ranked/gauntlet election? 

If never is the answer, I’d love to know how LP candidates did percentage-wise compared to earlier non-gauntlet elections in the same precincts.

The recent drop in Libertarian spoiler votes occurred in exactly the same electoral environment as our 328% gain in 2016–with rival Kleptocracy factions shrieking election fraud when defeated. The only difference were the anarchist plank to invite more terrorists and welfare state failures across the border, and the anarchist plank intended to replace execution of mass murderers with vigilante violence. Both of these planks–plus an ignorant anti-libertarian nihilist candidate on the top ticket–served to alienate 2/3 of the voters who eagerly supported the Libertarian Party in 2016.

Ranked gauntlet voting will not restore the popularity of a Libertarian Party given over entirely to communist, anarchist and nihilist orators. In fact, its adoption in internal LP elections resulted in appalling losses of lamentable national candidates even when state and local candidates fared well after having themselves been selected the way that worked for the two centuries preceding Nixon’s election subsidies law.

So what evidence from reality shows gauntlet voting has ever helped further reduction of the initiation of force?
