Alcohol in America, Drugs in Austria, Crashes in both (link)
All-night efforts by Police President Schroeder to avert the proposed mass demonstrations on Sunday of Austria’s rival militant home guards resulted in failure. Both the socialists and anti-socialists continued today to arm for Sunday’s gathering. The one faction is known as the Heimwehr, which generally is called fascista, and the other is the Schutzbund, known as the Republic Defense league, which is socialist in origin. Vienna’s communist newspaper, “Red Flag”, today declared that the members of the Heimwehr have received a full allotment of revolvers and other weapons and urges that the rival socialist and communist group meet the “fascist challenge” with all the fury at their command.”
Background: Austria and Germany refined Balkan opium into morphine products that found customers in China until 1911. That year the Quing Dynasty was replaced by communistic and caudillo States strictly enforcing prohibition by decapitation. The resulting glut led to violent revolts in the Balkan States thanks in part to American backing of Chinese abstinence totalitarianism. Wars escalated, Germany and Austro-Hungary lost and the dry US replaced China as the dope dumping market. In 1928 Austria signed the U.S. designed 1925 Geneva Opium Convention. By 1929, the late Arnold Rothstein’s collapsing drug empire had hardened interception efforts even as similar efforts against beer wrecked the U.S. economy. U.S. alcohol markets amounted to roughly 5% of the entire economy as both markets crashed. (link) The value of other drugs is still a mystery, but large enough to rattle every heroin-exporting nation. (link)
When was the last time you read about the drastic Drug Prohibition Law Germany passed on 10DEC1929? How about the Narcotics Limitation Convention of 1931? Biden/Reagan laws of 1986 crashed economies from 1987 through 1992. Much of today’s culture warfare dates back to the 2008 asset-forfeiture crash. The Austrian culture war expanded until May 1945. ***

Like U.S. books written to explain away the Great Depression without once mentioning laws making beer a felony or agent seizures of bank and brokerage accounts, this one also elides all real causes. But the timelines match up. You can see, just as German Pharma saw, that Hoover’s Narcotics Limitation Convention wrecked the German economy, with ripple effects ruining other major producers. (link)

All I know is what I read in the papers. Here is a news article about self-censoring media in the Great Depression that followed the Panic of 1907–a depression brought on by Pure Food and Drug law enforcement of that year. The Kaiser of Germany spoke too freely and two governments joined forces to cover it up for 26 years. The Atlantic published the interview in 1934. That was the year Herbert Hoover’s Narcotics Limitation Convention of 1931 made the essential principles of a planned economy into law and frightened German pharma into backing the Nazis. See the article: (link)
The famous “lost interview” is presented in the May issue of the Atlantic monthly magazine by William Harlan Hale, son of the man to whom Emperor William II, of Germany, spoke so freely and so indiscreetly. This is the gist of the views expressed by the Kaiser: The inevitable world crisis was a clash between Japan and Occidental nations: East and West must meet, and the West must conquer. Great Britain was guilty of a sort of political miscegenation and allying herself with Japan. [Japan quietly made British Indian opium into morphine for sale to China. Eventually Formosa (now Taiwan) began farming opium and coca].
War Held Necessary. War was necessary. War was Christian. Theodore Roosevelt, then president of the United States, was his hero – a dominating, militaristic leader he hoped he himself was. Thus the Kaiser spoke. It was in July, 1908, that he consented to the interview by Hale, close friend of Theodore Roosevelt. The meeting was on the Imperial yacht, Hohenzollern, at anchor in the fjord of Bergen. In the Atlantic Monthly, Hale writes that the Emperor voiced “the most amazingly indiscreet statements ever uttered by the head of a great nation.” (…)
World Situation Dangerous. The world situation was precarious at that time. The first-rate powers were in a fine state of balance – like a mixture of chemicals, ready to explode. The Russo-Japanese war was three years past. Germany was carrying on a naval race with Great Britain, a military race with France. The Algeciras conference, had left Germany somewhat of an Ishmael among nations. So, the German foreign office evidently believed that the Kaiser had spoken too freely. The Hale interview was to appear in The Century magazine, December 1908. (…)
“In a world of practical facts,” the Kaiser said, “we have to fight, even for righteousness’ sake. The Bible is full of fights – jolly good fights some of them were. It is a mistaken idea that Christianity has no countenance for war.” He contended that the sword should clear the way for the missionary. With the assertion that the world’s greatest warriors had been Christians, the Kaiser turned to the Japanese. The trouble with them,” he said, “is that they don’t want any religion.
Asiatic Situation. The Asiatic situation was the Emperor’s chief theme. “Everybody knows what must come to pass between Asia and the West, the yellow race and the white,” he said. [This is nearly a decade after the Monteiro Lobato book, English title America’s Black President, predicted France would succumb to the yellow peril.(link) It was also a couple of years before socialist orator Jack London produced “The Unparalleled Invasion,” featuring genocidal destruction of the entire Chinese race.] (link)
“We know this much about him” (the Japanese) the Kaiser declared. “He hates the white man worse than the white man hates the devil. The Japanese are devils, that’s a simple fact. They are devils.” (…)
Religion was the next subject. Hale makes this comment: “clearly, he esteems himself a Lord with spiritual as well as temporal responsibility.” “The future belongs to the white race, never fear,” the Emperor exclaimed. “It belongs to the Anglo-Teuton, the man who came from northern Europe – where you to whom America belongs, came from – the home of the German ***.” “It belongs to the fair-skinned man, and it belongs to Christianity and to Protestantism. We are the only people who can save it. There is not power in any other civilization or any other religion that can save humanity; and the future – belongs – to us!”
***
[This is where I find these ominous parallels between TR’s Comstockist race-suicide theories, Kaiser Wilhelm’s Christianizing racial jihads for “the fair-skinned man,” Adolf Hitler’s Christian enlistment of National Socialist Womanhood into dams for breeding altruist Hitlerjugend, and today’s Trump Trilbys. All are bullies seeking to use the violence of law to AGAIN impose these lamentable superstitions on the defenseless.]

Race-suicide laws 78 years after National Socialism
Germany’s leader addressed the Nazi Womanhood organization after rallying the Hitler Youth movement at Nuremberg Stadium, September 8, 1934. Adolf Hitler assured his listeners that “The National Socialist Movement has not only seen but also found in woman its most loyal assistant from the time of its conception onwards.” Thirty-nine years later, “Stockholm Syndrome” would be coined to describe how Swedish bank robbery hostages cringed fawningly and Patti Hearst genuflected and robbed a bank to please captors. The appetizer was flattery:
“That which perhaps only few philosophically gifted intellects are capable of analyzing scientifically can be sensed by the nature of an unspoiled human being with instinctive certainty. The feeling and, above all, the nature of woman has always acted throughout the ages as a supplement to the intellect of man.” This he followed up with thanks to Providence, and a few unkind words on the side to Christianity’s competitors: “The catchword “Women’s Liberation” is merely a phrase invented by the Jewish intellect, and its contents are marked by the same spirit.” The entrée was a rehash of Teddy Roosevelt’s Republican Party eugenics.(link) Hitler called on “woman to devote her life to maintaining and multiplying this important cell” and summoned “the willingness of the man to safeguard life.” Then came The Sting.
“Every child to which she gives birth is a battle which she wages in her Volk’s fateful question of to be or not to be.” Here, as in Roosevelt’s letters of 1902 and 1907, was the assignment of guilt, the blame for race suicide would fall on shirkers disdainful of God, hence easy prey for intellectuals!
“We will stand up against an intellectualism of the most depraved sort which would tear asunder what God hath joined. Because woman originates in the most basic root of all, she is also the most stable element in the preservation of a people. Ultimately, she has the most infallible sense for whatever is necessary to prevent a race from ceasing to be, for her children would bear the major brunt of all the suffering.” Hitler then made it clear that Collectivism and Duty are the true values, and sneered at “rights,” bragging:
“…we have gained, in millions of women, the most loyal and zealous fellow fighters. Female fighters for a life together in the service of together preserving our life. Fighters who fix their gaze not upon the rights which a Jewish intellectualism pretends to offer them, but upon the obligations Nature has burdened us with.”
The reader’s honesty will discern the similarities among these mystical variants of communo-fascist totalitarianism, and newspapers record how popular the German version of eugenic collectivism was among American Silver Shirts, Klansmen, Bundists and Radio Evangelists supportive of Herbert Hoover and Adolf Hitler and totally enraged by Franklin Delano Roosevelt–seen as a “traitor to his class” and totally unsupportive of his fifth cousin Teddy’s legacy. (link)
Certainly those Republicans never expected the Anschluss, death camps or genocidal war. Even today many are genuinely surprised to learn of Army of God devotées blowing up parks in Atlanta, machine-gunning police and civilians at a women’s clinic in Colorado or methodically murdering physicians out of passionate zeal for their “pro-life” movement. Like Christian National Socialism before them, God’s Own Prohibitionists are dedicated to three propositions: 1. women must be stripped of individual rights when pregnant 2. the Political State must send men with guns to coerce females to reproduce by involuntary labor as before the 13th Amendment was ratified, and 3. leaders who seek to back these propositions with what Adam Smith called “the violence of law” are ethical Christian leaders who–though they walk, talk and sound like Adolf Hitler, are nothing at all like Hitler, or Mussolini, or Franco, or Vargas, or Ceausescu or Dave Smith.

Republicans struggle to forget Teddy Roosevelt’s 1902 and 1907 letters on the dangers of race suicide. To jog the memory of libertarians, here is the story. Teddy despised libertarianism. This he makes clear in a 1902 letter critical of a woman’s article. This sets the tone:
“An easy, good-natured kindliness, and a desire to be “independent”—that is, to live one’s life purely according to one’s own desires—are in no sense substitutes for the fundamental virtues, for the practice of the strong, racial qualities without which there can be no strong races—…. But the man or woman who deliberately avoids marriage, and has a heart so cold as to know no passion and a brain so shallow and selfish as to dislike having children, is in effect a criminal against the race, and should be an object of contemptuous abhorrence by all healthy people.” (link) [Hitler was thirteen-and-a-half at the time the U.S. President denounced unreproductive women as criminals]
“Teedy” followed these thoughts with a second letter 5 years later, angrily scolding a magazine editor for allowing a statement contradicting Rooseveltian eugenic theory to see light. T.R. harrumphed:
Our people could still exist under all kinds of iniquities in government; under a debased currency, under official corruption, under the rule of a socialistic proletariat, or a wealthy oligarchy. All these things would be bad for us, but the country would still exist. But it could not continue to exist if it paid heed to the expressed or implied teachings of such articles as this. These teachings furnish excuses for every unnatural prevention of child-bearing, for every form of gross and shallow selfishness of the kind that is really the deepest reflection on, the deepest discredit to, American social life. … … all schemes about having “doctors in public schools,” about kindergartens, civic associations, women’s clubs, and training families up in this way or that are preposterous nonsense if there are to be no families to train; and that it is a simple mathematical proposition that, where the average family that has children at all has only three, the race at once diminishes in numbers, and if the tendency is not checked will vanish completely, – in other words, there will be race suicide. (link)
At the time, the Comstock laws banning ALL forms of birth control were in full and brutal force.(link) In Austria, Adolf Hitler was turning 18. Is it possible that Theodore Roosevelt, like Edward Bellamy, helped shape the boy’s attitudes regarding women’s duties to The Race? Hitler loved Wild West stories, and could easily have perused a translation of T.R.’s The Winning of the West (1896), which asserted, to Ayn Rand’s later dismay, that:
“… the most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages… it is of incalculable importance that America, Australia and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.” This was when Hitler was seven. This stuff was tremendously popular as tensions rose between Balkan opium producers and Austria’s Big Pharma. Hitler’s own Catholic Church was keenly interested in race suicide preoccupations, as was Mussolini’s government.
Next: Hitler exhorts Nazi Womanhood against faltering in the struggle to preserve the German Folkish Race.

The Libertarian Party started competing with a model platform that gained us vote share at 12% a year for 8 years.(link) This scared the living lice off the Looter Kleptocracy, which outnumbered us 500 to one and had billions of dollars in pelf, boodle and Nixon funding with which to put us out of the running. They did the exact same thing they were good at: sending in spies, infiltrators and saboteurs to “help us improve” our platform, just like government spies hounded many original libertarians in Haight-Ashbury.(link)
The most recent attacks, after our 4 million votes flipped 13 states again packed our meetings with anarco-communists and anarco-fascists. The result was a return to the 1% level of vote share those same infiltrators have kept us at since 1980. Here in his own words is what the poster child for girl-bullying anarcho-fascism had to say after Trumpista Anschluss turned the LP into a party run by religious bigots.
The guy claims his name is Dave and that the Austrians want to “repeal the entire progressive era”–rather than repeal laws that send thugs with guns to bully the harmless. Interviewer Nick asked him about planks the Austrians have deleted, from Constitutionally defending borders against invasion to defense of individual rights of women even when pregnant. Here is what the poster child for the Mises Caucus said about immigration:
Dave: Um, um, I don’t, I don’t particularly have a big problem with the current, uh, position on immigration which I think something says kind of like we’re against unreasonable restrictions or something like that, I don’t know.
[Dave obviously never read the platform, like the other anarchist who ruined Jo’s campaign had never read the platform before or after the immigration plank was ruined by anarchist meddling to invite invasions in 2018]. (link) Dave then rambled on about abortion.
Dave: There’s a few issues, I handful of issues, um, um, immigration, abortion, where there are, it is, there is a divide amongst libertarians. I don’t know that the party necessarily needs to take a strong position one way or the other on those issues.
[The Libertarian platform of 1972 took a strong stand that women retained individual rights and protection from outside aggression even when pregnant. That plank was copied by the Supreme Court into Roe V Wade shortly after the November votes were counted, in January, 1973.] (link)
Dave: Now the abortion plank, on the other hand, might actually really be a dealbreaker for a lot of people. If the fact that we condemn bigotry is in the platform, is actually a dealbreaker for someone, I’m okay with that.
Dave: If you are pro-life, and the position is that abortion is murder… The pro-life position certainly is that it’s murder. If it is murder, to say that the government has no… no… Even if you, at a certain point, it’s murder, to say that the government has no role in that is, that is a pro-choice position. The the idea of saying, you can have whatever feeling you want about abortion, but it should be legal, that’s the pro-choice position. So the question is should we have a pro-choice plank in our platform, when libertarians are very divided on that issue, I would say no.
The interviewer then asked If life begins at the moment of conception, what is the role of government in protecting the life of the unborn?
Dave: Well, look, I’m an anCap. I don’t think there is any role for government ever doing anything. But if you’re saying “what is the role of protecting innocent life from being murdered?” I would say anyone capable of doing it has a moral right to do that.
[The Austrian Von Mises anarchist insurgents faction recently insisted on adding a plank demanding that the death sentence NOT be administered by government. Whether that means privatized executions is not explained. But Colorado clinic shooter Robert Dear and a dozen or so religious fanatics have murdered and wounded doctors, policemen and bystanders while exercising their moral right to enforce their feelings and beliefs by deadly aggression.] (link) (link) But let Dave tell it…
Dave: Um, I mean, look, the, practically speaking, in in today’s America, it would, the, uh, our federal government is the most tyrannical force in the world, um, yeah, probably it’d be much better off being left to the states, being left to localities for them to make their own decisions– there are places in the world where abortion is illegal and they do not have this kind of, like, abortion Gestapo nightmare situation that pro-choicers create. Um, I don’t , nuh, you know, murder being illegal does create a black market for murderers, um, but it’s still better than murder being legal.
[Remember, this guy wants to run for President of the United States of the most tyrannical force in the world without reading the LP platform or the Constitution. Ask yourself how many votes the LP will get in Kansas, California or Virginia once women voters are aware of this verbiage. The function of the Libertarian party is to run candidates for office on a viable platform. The spoiler votes we earn allow voters to decide to make the worst party lose without endorsing communist or fascist variants of socialism. That pressure causes the repeal of coercive and violent laws that violate individual rights. Remember the draft?](link) Nick asked Dave what is the function of the Libertarian party?
Dave: Well, um, I think the function of the Libertarian party, um, the national level, is to spread our message and kind of plant a flag for the American people to say that there is an alternative, to this kind of binary, to this left-right Democrat-Republican binary, and here’s the other option, and that’s…
[The “pro-life” guy then rambles on and on without suggesting the repeal of a single deadly, violent, destructive law the Republicans and Democrats pass and enforce by threat of deadly force. Listen to it yourself…]
One anarchist reversed our 328% vote gain, costing us 8 years and ballot access. Want more?

Brazilian Sci-fi from 1926 featuring the usual beautiful daughter of a scientist touting prohibition and racial collectivism in America’s Black President 2228 by Monteiro Lobato, translated by J Henry Phillips (link)
Forcing women into the labor of involuntary reproduction is enslavement. Pregnant women are individual persons, not Siamese twins. “All persons born…” states the constitutional beginning of personhood in the USA’s 14th Amendment. The 13th Amendment says:
Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The original (link) 1972 Libertarian Party platform contained a plank about this which read:
We support an end to all subsidies for childbearing built into our present laws, including all welfare plans and the provision of tax-supported services for children. We further support the repeal of all laws restricting voluntary birth control or voluntary termination of pregnancies during their first hundred days. We shall oppose all coercive measures to control population growth.
The Supreme Court was at that time struggling with a 9th Amendment 5th Circuit case in Texas, which State sought to force a woman to reproduce against her will. Meanwhile in Canada a doctor once persecuted in Europe by Positive Christian National Socialists, had opened a clinic serving women in Quebec.(link) Dr Henry Morgentaler was charged with offences in 1970–before the Libertarian party was organized in Colorado.
Pro-choice, pro-defense LP Happytalism earned maybe 4000 votes but also got one electoral vote in the November elections, which made us impossible to ignore when the real votes were counted in January 1973.
Sixteen days after the Electoral votes were counted, the Supreme Court decision of 22JAN1973 began with (a) For the stage prior to approximately the end of the first trimester, the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman’s attending physician.(link)
Jurors in Canada agreed with the U.S. Supreme Court and acquitted Dr Morgentaler in 1974. As in Roe, weaponized mysticism sought again to put the doctor in jail, and again the jury preferred medicine to girl-bullying superstition and monstrous teratophilia. That and another election ended the matter so that there are NO girl-bullying laws to threaten doctors in Canada. Comstockists, race-suicide collectivists and persons addled by belief in devils and invisible pals still seek to send men with guns out to force women against their will.(link)
But this was true in the 1840s, when Harriet Beecher Stowe told of how slave women had no defense against rapists nor got to keep their children–as in Texas today, thanks to the gradual, stepwise, cowardly betrayal of women’s rights by committees.
Stowe revealed how God’s Self-appointed Ministers and Elders cowered and shied away from defending the individual rights of all women in 1843:
“Whereas there is in this Assembly great diversity of opinion as to the proper and best mode of action on the subject of slavery; and whereas, in such circumstances, any expression of sentiment would carry with it but little weight, as it would be passed by a small majority, and must operate to produce alienation and division; and whereas the Assembly of 1839, with great unanimity, referred this whole subject to the lower judicatories, to take such order as in their judgment might be adapted to remove the evil;–Resolved, That the Assembly do not think it for the edification of the church for this body to take any action on the subject.” (link)
In other words, God’s mystics adopted a cowardly straddle and betrayed freedom and rights to appease alienation and division as reported in Stowe’s Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp. The Libertarian party was gaining new voters at the rate of 12% per year from 1972 to 1980, when pressure from infiltrating Swamp Republicans changed the platform to single out pregnant women women for discrimination:
“We oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services, including those which finance abortion services.” Women began crossing the street to avoid Libertarian candidates.
Soon the LP platform changed to this:
“Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.” The LP vote share became a horizontal line from 1980 until Gary Johnson’s pro-choice campaign in 2016, when we more than tripled to 4 million votes with 13 spoiler clout states.
The post-Anschluss national Tea-bertarian party has smothered, omitted, elided, memory-holed all platform utterances to the effect that pregnant women have individual rights.
Just now, only the Kansas Libertarian Party has shown the integrity, consistency and backbone it takes to stand up to the mentality that–before the American Revolution–burned women at the stake to please God, Jesus, Allah and Mohammed. Remember that when you are ready to donate to support a worthy Libertarian organization.(link)

Good bad books: The Economic Waste of Sin, by Lahman Forrest Bower. The Abdingon Press, Cincinnati, 1924. That was the year of the KKKlambakes, the Democratic Party endorsing the Prohibition law President Wilson vetoed, and the party platform plank suddenly recognizing a side effect of prohibition: “Recognizing in narcotic addiction, especially the spreading of heroin addiction among the youth, a grave peril to America and to the human race, we pledge ourselves vigorously to take against it all legitimate and proper measures for education, for control and for suppression at home and abroad.” Bower believed beer was a gateway drug that led inexorably to heroin–NOT heroin as an easily-concealed replacement for Beelzebub’s banned beer!

MELLON’S MELON WASTED – Will Rogers Gloomy As to Fate of Treasury Surplus. BEVERLY HILLS, California, July 3 – Mr. Mellon has skimped and saved and got together 185 millions over and above what Congress nicked him for. Now they are all arguing over what to do with it, but nobody has ever suggested applying it on our national debt, which is over 30 billion. Sixty percent of all our taxes go toward interest on all our various debts, national, state, town and county. But they will take this little dab and try to buy some party votes with it in the way of lower taxes. You wouldn’t see Mellon doing that if it applied to his personal affairs. He would get his debt paid off before he started handling anybody’s anything. But that’s just why so many of our individuals are so much richer than our government.

But censorship was an American thing way before Positive Christian National Socialism or Rooseveltian eugenics.(link) Comstock laws lobbied for by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice embodied censorship of mail plus girl-bullying before there was a 19th Amendment.(link) Nobody listened to Lysander Spooner’s objections that equivocating vice into crimes necessarily destroyed rights and eliminated freedom of production and trade.(link) Spooner wrote this oft-censored book back when alcohol was banned in Christian Boston yet 10-year-old girls could be rented as prostitutes.
Here follows the text of the 1933 news article above, half a year into the NSDAP Administration:
Distributors of Nazi “Treason” Propaganda Face Death Penalty – By United Press – BERLIN, October 5 – The Nazi government, ending by a single cabinet decree the freedom of the German press, simultaneously today invoked the death penalty to halt the tremendous volume of anti-Nazi propaganda being “bootlegged” into the country. By approving the first section of the new press law, the cabinet adopted the Nazi policy that the press, newspapers and magazines, must become an instrument of national unity, it’s pulse beating with that of the government. By a separate and significant decree, it ruled that the death penalty, or alternatively 15 years’ imprisonment, should be imposed on anyone who imported or disseminated periodicals classed as treasonable. The joint effect was to ensure that only Nazi views should be read by the public.

The new Austrian Teabertarian party has an opportunity to right a wrong. Libertarians formerly repealed laws declaring some women to be non-individuals,(link) roughly equivalent to “other persons” in Constitutional language or “former persons” in Soviet Socialist usage.(link) But that language was dropped from the platform. However, the recently added “We oppose the administration of the death penalty by the state” is clearly a bid to stop the hanging and electrocution of communist and fascist anarchists convicted of murder, and/or to legalize the hunting of humans as trophy game. That stayed in!
Murder is a hot topic among girl-bulliers, so much so that Texas–the first State to take up arms against the Union and the last to stop hunting down fugitive slaves–has relegalized the payment of bounties for hunting down women suspected of seeking to escape the involuntary labor of forced reproduction.(link) The Mystical Supreme Court majority seems inclined to view this as neither a bill of attainder nor a violation of the 14th or 9th Amendment. The Supreme Court already declared the hunting down of males of reproductive age as involuntary killers and cannon-fodder in foreign wars NOT a violation of the antislavery Amendment.(link) There is precedent for Supreme-court-approved gender discrimination and naked coercion, just like in the days of Dred.(link)
Only the Democratic party still regards pregnant women as rights-holding individuals, yet is troubled by extrajudicial collective shootings–especially in government schools–and 97.5% of the shooters are guys. There is open talk of “scheduling” unhinged whack jobs like Missouri Republican Senate candidate Eric Greitens (link) into the class of “other persons” denied gun rights before Lincoln’s version of the Emancipation Proclamation made them into armed voters.(link) In this heated atmosphere, a modest proposal comes to mind…
How about a Roe v Berserker law banning state governments from infringing the right of the women to keep and bear arms. By arms I mean fully-automatic, extended-clip handguns with laser aiming, mace sprays enriched with dyes, odorants, sarin or bio-weapons, body armor, attack dogs and carte blanche to assign qualified immunity reprisal rights to bodyguards so even successful assailants are readily dispatched. This would also cover adolescent girls in and out of school. Those kind of Second-Amendment-with-teeth laws could easily do away with school shooters AND those girl-bullying rednecks with green teeth chasing women across state lines.(link)

Good reading: Wayward World by Jon Roland.(link) Jon was Austin’s premiere constitutional scholar eve before he founded the Constitution Society. I never expected him to have a good grasp of geodesic geometry, cartography, physics, finance and the military side of history, but it’s all there.

Eric Boehm in a recent Reason magazine article produced a graph trying to put the best face on voter reaction to the anarchist burdening Jo Jorgensen’s otherwise-libertarian campaign. That ticket came in dead last in libertarian-friendly Travis County, Austin Texas. (link) That’s where Roe v Wade was fought and won thanks to the first Libertarian Platform.(link) Wasted votes are the ones that help the Kleptocracy bully women and rob the innocent. Libertarian spoiler votes perform feats: ending the draft, legalizing birth control, reversing the growth of bureaucracy, halting entanglements in deadly foreign violence, rolling back cruel prohibition laws, asset-forfeiture looting and systemic police abuse. That’s clout! That’s WINNING!
Absolute last place in Travis County/Austin TX thanks to Jeremy
But Eric graphed a column showing how the LP ranked in the battle for popular votes where we took third-party place in 2020 even after losing ballot access and wiping out our 328% gain over 2012.(link) Being the real third party is no small matter, because third parties armed with under 3% of the popular vote are the ones that–throughout American history–have written and repealed the law of the land.
First among rabble while losing ballot access and 8 years of gain is poor showing
The way we change laws, however, is by bleeding the looter Kleptocracy of votes, not by absorbing some pathetic anarcho-Socialist rabble’s rounding-error-from-zero vote total. Voters are convinced those flash-in-the-pan parties can be safely ignored. Ranking outcomes by percentage of ideological third party vote puts the LP in third place with anywhere from 0.3 to 3.3% of the vote–a loose fit indeed. But the history of spoiler vote clout shows us the law-changing spoiler effect kicks in at about 1.4% of the popular vote.(link)
Fewer words, more loyal voters!
Those fringe parties, like The Kleptocracy, want the LP to keep planks promising child molesting, uninspected entry of enemy aliens and plague vectors–even executions by vigilantes–such as were added before the 2020 debacle. Observe that the LP only became THE clout-wielding third party after the 2008 “revolt” that deleted a bunch of idiotic platform verbiage. Kleptocracy party platforms each take about 5 hours to read. The LP platform can be recorded in a 30 minute podcast in many languages. Omitting needless words–perhaps even deleting words to make room for new planks could yield balanced verbiage and a platform attractive to voters sick of shrill, grasping extremism.
