Slave States, 2024

Lincoln’s Republican Party died with him, replaced by Comstockist book-burning societies. Voters saw through this and reacted, but Comstock “republicans” still held the troops with bayonets and power to stop citizens from voting. The 13th Amendment was recast by White Supreme male judges to only extend suffrage to some black males. Compare that to what was written after the war to Save the Customs Union:

14A: All persons born or naturalized in the United States… are citizens of the United States and of the State.
15A: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
By leaving out SEX, the door was left open for men with guns and billy clubs to ramrod women into prison for daring to vote or run for office.(link) With disenfranchisement legitimized by the White Supreme Court, it was but a small step to expand that to racial collectivist Jim Crow legislation and laws denying suffrage to ANYONE who dared to stand up to a superstitious usurpation imposed at gunpoint. The trick was to use definitions to finish chiseling away the antislavery amendment and restoring the original prewar language in Article Four, Section Two, Clause Three. That’s the part that tells U.S. Marshals to help Slave States and their bounty hunters to hunt down fugitives from enslavement, defined as Service or Labor.

Bodily ejecting uppity blacks and females from polling booths was promptly redefined as “not really” disenfranchisement. Comstock Laws lustily redefined writings as “disloyal” or as “obscenity.”(link) Soon, enslaving youth into the trenches of the World War to Enforce the Hague Opium Convention was redefined as “not really” slavery. Laws enacted at China’s request redefined trade and production as “traffic” to create victimless “crime.”(link)

By the time the Harrison Act and Constitutional Amendment defining potions, wineries and breweries as “traffic” had wrecked the economy, addictive narcotics, non-habit-forming stimulants and harmless hemp had replaced much of the recreational market. Republican attempts to again export sumptuary coercion to drug-exporting Germany backfired as before. Big Pharma subsidized Christian National Socialism and got Adolf Hitler installed as Chancellor of the Reich. This was good? (link)

Most of Prohibition was replaced by FDR and New Deal Reconstruction. Brewers and Distillers reinvested profits by hiring politicians and advertisers to declare “Reefer Madness” the new national emergency. This was replacement for the “Cocaine Negroes” emergency used in 1914 to secure passage of Francis Harrison’s “Trade Restrictions Act.” Madness gave the pretext in 1936 for again shrieking “traffic” and hauling out the pistols, manacles and truncheons to “do something” about that unfair competition. Not for long would plant leaves kick sand in poor little Beelzebubba’s beer!

So after thousands of man-years of prison terms for youth, felony plant leaf laws keep those same skeptical people from voting a half-century after the Nixon-Reagan war on Woodstock Nation. Observe that the Beatles-albums-burning Solid South that voted for George Wallace is where prohibitionism replaces democracy with jail cells. Now would be a good time to either donate libertarian or move someplace more civilized, register and vote.(link) More: (link)

Good Reading: The War Below: The Story of Three Submarines That Battled Japan, by James Scott.(link) One of the facts disclosed is how easily submarines smuggled cargo–everything from weapons, fuel, ammunition, explosives, men and materiél–past armed and eager enemy blockades. Nor was this news in 1916, when the Deutschland carried a hefty load of goods to the neutral United States in 1916. It makes you wonder about how Rum Row turned a profit 12 miles off the coast during Prohibition. After all, 97% of U.S: alcohol demand was met by brewing and distilling corn sugar. Only 3% in all could have come from Canada, Mexico and Rum Row ships–but what if those floating contraband stores were also selling drugs the government made disappear in 1914.  If so, how did those supplies arrive?

Every Libertarian Vote Counts

In 1968, every single presidential vote was wasted, in the sense that it furthered increased coercion. Voting Republican or George Wallace’s “American” Party meant to enslave and shoot kids here (over plant leaves) and bomb slave kids elsewhere. The communists (socialists, socialist labor, etc parties) wanted higher taxes and more government coercion than even the Entrenched Kleptocracy. The Prohibition party wanted men with guns to ban all enjoyable substances, burn books and enslave young women. There was a Peace and Freedom party on the ballot in a couple of places. Those were mostly looters impersonating hepcats and demanding coercive economic laws. The word “repeal” is generally avoided among such parties the same way “enforce” is parroted.(link)

Reason was circulated as mimeographed sheets, Stranger in a Strange Land had just turned seven and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was as distressing to Christian National Socialism as it was to East German Communism. Nobody got addicted to and nobody died of overdoses from the non-toxic psychedelics available everywhere. We all argued about Atlas Shrugged, not The Constitution. Suddenly George Wallace got the Democratic Solid South’s electoral votes, and Richard Nixon–the guy who sued Texas after losing to JFK–was declared President. That was what losing felt like.

Timothy Leary had an idea. “THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE to violent authoritarianism is to start a New Party, a fresh celebratory reunion based on a positive psychology of affectionate reward; to develop a rational good-humored social system which rewards healthy, honest, harmoniously individualistic behavior…”(link) Next thing you know, the Libertarian Party organized to repeal prohibition laws, extend individual rights protection to women, abolish conscription and foreign meddling and run candidates on that platform to wield leveraged, law-changing spoiler votes and compete with the entrenched Kleptocracy.(link)

Spoiler vote leverage made that repeal happen time and again.(link) Looter parties eager to send men with guns to kick in doors and coerce women feared our spoiler votes because their platform was written by Rockefeller-funded Prohibition Party spoiler votes. Some Democrats wanted to reenact racial collectivism and others dreamt of someone else’s money. The Libertarian party was the only way–and still is the only way–to vote against deadly coercion. Every time sorehead Republican or Democrat losers delete a freedom-crushing plank from their party’s platform, every time our spoiler votes get them to repeal a coercive law–THAT’S A LIBERTARIAN VICTORY! (link)

Good reading: Bad things were happening on the planet Earth, things few understood. “Guided missile defenses were especially in demand. If there was anyone, anywhere, who pointed out that the cattle in Chicago did not die of disease, he was denounced for his denial of the general belief that they had. But anyone who observed that if the cattle had died of plague, antiaircraft batteries would be useless was regarded as subversive.” Sound familiar? The year was not 2020 and the quote is not from the paper. War With The Gizmos by Murray Leinster was published in 1958! Fanatical belief in imaginary Truth was causing heretic-hunters to brand skeptics as deniers 66 years ago!

1971 Nixon Psychotropic Convention

Prohibitionism of the Demon Rum was joined by Chinese reaction against British opium smugglers, then metastasized into a War on Everything, which is the same as a War on Trade.

The Panic of 1837 resulted in part from British liquidation of investment in America. The resulting increase in naval armaments and levies on nore docile mercantilist colonies made it possible to completely destroy the Qing empire with French and American help. By 1912 the British resorted to argument from intimidation to encourage prohibitionist absolutism in China–the thing that had worsened the Christian addicts revolt, which in turn acted as an additional military pincer to wreck the Celestials. “If opium is the supreme Evil” Palmerston’s argument in effect went, “then surely you must use deadly force to prohibit even backyard poppy gardens for personal use, just as you banned OUR smuggling of thousands of tonned of prepared Indian dope!” With that, there was no way the problem could end well for China.

Chinese trade boycotts increased from 1903 to 1905, despite America making examples of disloyal Filipinos. To keep U.S. exports shipping, the Pure Drug law of 1906 brought the Panic of 1907 when enforcement began. Hague Antiopium Convention agitation caused a glut in the poppy-producing Balkans that–with a lot of help from America’s Harrison Act–blossomed into WW1–another opium war for which no country is eager to claim credit.(link)

But before 1905, hawkers of patent medicines offered newspapers profitable advertising contracts for so long as no laws prohibited their trade. This enlisted newspapers’ self-interest so as to get them to resist publishing shrill demands for prohibition laws. President Herbert Hoover’s pal Mark Sullivan wrote magazine articles on these “evil” agreements before small amounts of beer were made a felony in 1929.(link) In September of 1929 the League of Nations–which by then had inherited Hague Convention enforcement of all manner of drugs–endorsed plans to definine everything a “narcotic” and make League members vigilantes in a global prohibitionist posse.(link)

That posse, largely commandeered by drug cartels, circled drug-producing Germany to reduce its market share with a Limitation Convention in June-July of 1931. Alarmed, German industrialists promptly financed the National Socialist party and in less than two years, Hitler’s popularity competed with that of Jesus in a busily Christian nation. Even before WW2, French industrialists questioned labeling everything Americans wanted to ban a “narcotic,” which to them meant estupefiant–something stimulants and psychedelics clearly weren’t.

Fast-forward to 1971, when Richard Nixon had barely squeaked into office and now faced defeat as another Quaker fanatic wrecking the economy and sucking us into war. France’s opium monopoly in Vietnam had led to civil war. Laws against marijuana–urged by opium producers to get rid of cheap, non-addictive competition–were failing as experts testified nobody eger became addicted to grass, nor had there been a lethal overdose from it in human history. The Beatles and Timothy Leary popularized a non-toxic, empathogenic substance that did nothing to help nationalsocialist militarists brainwash voters into backing the bombing of Asian peasants for revolting against a French narcotics cartel!

Psychedelic concerts beginning with the Buffalo Party convention and festival had mushroomed into huge Woodstock Nation parties.(link) Nixon and Reagan feared a menace to Republican Comstock Prohibitionism and the Military-Industrial Complex. Courts declared joints were NOT narcotics, the Libertarian Party had gotten the Supreme Court to roll back Comstock laws and John Lennon of Lucy-In-The-Sky-With-Diamonds fame was popularizing liberal freedom the way the Liberal Party had undermined fellow Quaker Republican Herbert Hoover back in 1930-33, after he unwittingly lined up backers for Hitler’s party.

The solution was to very quietly arrange another Prohibition Convention, this time in Hitler’s home town of Vienna.(link) The idea was to rename EVERYTHING that couldn’t be tarbrushed as nacotic a PSYCHOTROPIC, and thereby deport John Lennon, jail black, brown and long-haired freethinkers, re-elect Tricky Dick Nixon and Make America Grate Again. Nixon is gone but Convention-inspired laws, like the calling card of a stray dog left on the stoop of the United Nations, now helps the Republican party to jail, deport or get fanatics to kill anyone who dares question its totalitarian initiation of force. In 1971 and 1972 the Psychotropics witchhunt deprived tens of thousands of the right to vote or emigrate. Now, more than a half-century later, foreign scientists, physicians, artists and engineers are declared inadmissible on account of a seed or a leaf thanks to the Psychotropic Index Expurgatorius. The Psychotropics convention is–like the Hague Convention, Versailles treaty, Volstead Act and Limitation convention of 1931–another conspiracy in restraint of trade worthier of Torquemada’s Spanish Inquisition than the United Nations or a government organized under the U.S. Constitution.(link)
*-*-*

Good Reading: John Lennon v. U.S.A. is the first-person story of immigration lawyer Leon Wildes hired by John and Yoko to stop Nixon’s smarmies from running them out of the States on a rail.(link) The author, with impeccable legal credentials, explains with thoughtful insights how the War, Comstock and Prohibition party faction that imported Nazi war criminals wholesale as a hedge against “Bolshevism” used every dirty trick in the book to deport English musician John Lennon.

Unavailable viewing: Chapter 27 is a movie about a Christian fanatic from Texas who shot John Lennon in the back.(link) Amazon Prime does not offer it in certain Monroe Doctrine colonies that enforce the Psychotropics convention. Amazon is evidently reinstating by proxy the country code censorship that allowed DVD movies to be watched in upper but not lower-class countries, but I doubt it’s their idea. Same unavailability goes for 27 Gone too Soon. Jimi dies, Janis dies, Jim dies, John is murdered–musicians usually died less publicly and dramatically than MLK, JFK, RFK and John Lennon, but still…

Republican cigarettes or Dem?

Either-or, pick a pack, smoke and be impotent–just like the Looter Kleptocracy

Both entrenched kleptocracy parties are selling to the same crowd, and the crowd pays with its votes. Neither party wants voters to read its platform. Excerpts are of course unrolled in front of particular pressure groups in much the spirit of a Klan rally or Socialist pogrom schedule. “Help us harm these hated scum” is the message. Cigarette ads also referred to their competitors obliquely, hinting, suggesting and insinuating but never stating forthrightly that “our” smokes–unlike that other trash–soothes your throat almost like a medicinal balm, only enjoyably.

Chesterfield uses Turkish tobacco – from Sansoun, Smyrna, Cavalla and Xanthi, the ads proclaimed. Then it blends and cross-blends those leaves with various kinds of choice home-grown tobaccos in the right balance to give you a cigarette that’s milder, a cigarette that tastes better. Better than not smoking? (link)

That same paper printed another ad on the same page as the ORIOLE FLASH – Official Publication of the 600 Pupils of Ludington High School. (link)

TURKISH TOBACCOS… One reason why Luckies taste better, smoother. These tender, delicate Turkish leaves are blended with choice tobaccos from our own Southland – to make your Lucky Strike a cigarette that is fully packed – so round, so firm – free from loose ends. That’s why Luckies taste better, smoother. “It’s toasted” – throat protection – for finer taste. It’s the Giant Douche versus Turd Sandwich false alternative back in 1934, two months after the Prohibition Amendment and Volstead Act which wrecked the economy after eroding it for 15 years was finally repealed. 

The 2016 Libertarian Party ticket allowed Democrats–tired of being busted, robbed and shot over plant leaves–to let Hillary’s party know they were fed up by handing Gary and Willie a 2×4 of 4 million spoiler votes. (link) Once the votes were counted, Dems proceeded to immediately repeal a bunch of marijuana laws and pretend to act on behalf of the individual rights of women they’d frittered away through dereliction.(link) That’s how spoiler votes work–by making the stupidest looters lose first.

God’s Own Prohibitionists could hardly believe their luck and doubled down on looting, shooting, raping and enslaving for Christ. Anarco-fascist infiltrators multiplied like loaves and fishes to wreck LP planks and organize a hostile takeover or Anschluss of the Libertarian Party during the pandemic. People who value their lives and wanted to go to Austin, stayed away from Reno. The result: a smaller, harder, angrier bunch of girl-bullying superstitious republicans gained control of the Libertarian Party we worked for 50 years to build. Once the violent MAGAts that mobbed and vandalized the Capitol are themselves being violated in prison we might be able to retake the party. If so, the best approach is to reset to the original 1972 platform and install mechanisms to guard against Christian National Socialist putsches and infiltration.

As in the case of cigarettes, where thinking people give up tobacco entirely and either quit, vape, chew gummies or take an occasional bong hit–there is always the option of sending the mystical insurgency no money and giving their girl-bullying candidates no votes. Only the first two lp platforms gave us scary increases in vote share. Looters with vandal planks ruined that and will keep on trying as long as we let it happen.(link)

Good Reading: Remember Obama? The guy who won by NOT being G Waffen Bush or stirring up asset-forfeiture night-riders to burn down the economy? After whupping Hockey Mom and Flaming Torch, Obama was next threatened by Mormon Mitt and Fake Objectivist Boy. Sally Denton saw the Obow signal and fired off The Plots Against The President to save These States from ANOTHER economy-wrecking christiano-fascist demagogue.(link) No way can anyone read this book and fail to grok the ominous paralells between 1934-6 and now. Ku-kluxers marched 20 abreast in tens of thousands when Bert Hoover was building a dry new race. Laws making trade and production a felony were then, as now, the hypnotic swastika for which the Republicans had sacrificed the 1932 election. Then, as now and in 1924 Germany, mesmerized myrmidons rose up to proclaim “we wuz backstabbed!” The current crop even paid Sally the compliment of having a MAGAt novel-writing machine crank out a Newspeak Testament bemoaning the Crucifiction of Donald Trump at the hands of the women voters his minions struggle to re-enslave.(link)

Unlike Denton I agree with FDR that the anarco-assassin midget deliberately hunted and killed Chicago Mayor Cermak. Murderers DO lie on occasion, but this–like the scattered OCR typos–is quibbling. The book is an enjoyable and timely read by a historian who writes about the subjects others ignore.

Gay Deceivers

Kansas, 1927’s Gay Deceiver, abandons wife and Anti Tobacco Law Junior for Lady Nicotine

Nowadays we think of an AI starship whisking Lazarus Long and his gorgeous entourage around the galaxy with little regard for the outdated time parameter in primitive General Relativity solutions. (link) But in 1927 The Gay Deceiver was last year’s tearjerker on the flickering silent screen–if a remake of a 1912 short-short featuring a roving Lothario.(1912 flick) (1927 flick) The year 1912 brought a bumper crop of angst-ridden prohibitionist melodramas in which a flask of booze or jar of cocaine turned a hard-working, loving Christian into a neglectful or even girl-beating brute in Thanhauser and DW Griffith silent movies! (link)

Much of prohibitionism is owing to Qing Chinese hysteria following alleged overdose death of an imperial prince. British East India Company opium traders were depicted as predatory child-molesting undesirables by Hoppo Wan and Viceroy Tang in November of 1836. British financiers promptly liquidated capital invested in American improvements to instead arm for the Opium Wars, and similar hysteria brought Maine Law temperance-at-gunpoint legislation to make trade illegal. The Panic of 1837 wrecked the U.S. economy and Jackson’s feud with the national bank was retroactively blamed for the entire episode.

The slippery slope of coercion replacing free trade and production brought ruinous civil wars to China and These States. Book-burning Comstockism and prohibition after the war were weaponized with blue laws urged by pulpit-thumping bigots. By 1927 the dry federal government was again pushing to expand the Hague Opium Convention that had precipitated the Great War in 1914. New York State added a “narcotic” law on top of the Harrison Act, and unsubstantiated rumors were shrieking the horrors of cigarettes dipped in heroin.

The 1929 Crash resulted directly from the Jones law making beer a felony–on the heels of new League of Nations recommendations urging a similar increase in drug law harshness. Every arm-waving evasion purporting to “explain” the Crash and Depression differently resorts to elision, misdirection and plain mendacity. No government-funded university dares violate the Gentlemen’s Agreement to kill the thought that prohibition laws harm the economy, so the tobacco-ban fanatics of 1927 are back again urging no repeal of any such law, however violent and counterproductive. Read about it in Reason Magazine.(link)

*-*-*

Good reading: Strong Medicine, by Arthur Hailey is turning out to be another entertaining demonstration of the author’s professional competence.(link) Missing from the story is the way Thalidomide came to market to replace marijuana banned thanks to Herbert Hoover’s appointed Drug Czar Harry Anslinger. Now would be a good time for civil action against prohibitionist government agencies on behalf of surviving flipper kids created by the teratogenic excesses of persuasion by initiation of deadly force. Think of the children!

Meeting Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary was libertarian before Reason and the LP even existed

Leary was in Austin debating one of Nixon’s jackbooted minions. I missed the debate but went to Book People where he was hanging out by a picnic table outside. I’d just turned down a job at HL&P advertising for the South Texas Nuclear Project and was packing for Boulder to work for Petr Beckmann at Access to Energy. I wore my best LOVE THE NUKE T-shirt for the occasion and sure enough, as I approached, some collectivist loiterer croaked “What’s that mean?” I said it was written in English, walked straight over to Tim Leary and said “thank you.”

They lost their bookstore lease for being too libertarian

Leary smiled, shook my hand, and said “You’re welcome.” But the collectivist had to butt in.
“How does it make you feel, Dr Leary, to know that people who love the nuke are attracted to your events.” Leary smiled, leaned back in his chair, and said with a wink: “America’s a big place. There’s room for all kinds of people here, even people who love the nuke.”

That was it. Leary had escaped half a year after I moved to Canada, and I eagerly followed all news of his peregrinations in those Nixon years while I myself pregrinated back to my childhood Rio de Janeiro. Leary found friends everywhere he went. After meeting Parisian babe Joanna Harcourt-Smith he made the mistake of returning to the looter America that had twice elected Nixon. Here is a link to a mediocre Reason article that covers some of that ground. (link) But even a former mediocre Reason contributor like Garvin can recall the scene in Dr Strangelove where Mandrake admits to having been tortured.

Ripper: I don’t know how well I could stand up under torture.

Mandrake: Well of course the answer to that is, boy, no one ever does.

Good reading: Reason Magazine. Petr Beckmann used to contribute articles, and it is still the best magazine in the world. Right now subscribers are donating extra money to that newsmagazine. I myself used to send money to the Libertarian party before it was taken over by girl-bullying anarco-fascist impersonators. I sure am glad there’s a Reason.com

A Smaller, Harder, Angrier Republican Party

The Alabama Mises caucus, funded in part by entities interested in the economics of Hitler’s homeland, has a video out that is so cringey I can’t even link it. The only thing missing is Marjorie Greene-Teeth’s machine-gun ambush video, which is also getting hard to find.

Loyalty…

Go to Youtube and search for “Operation Warhawk Removal”… you’ll see girl-bulliers, Republicans, prohibitionists and poseurs cross-dressing as libertarians in the greatest bait-and-switch since the Klan went over to the Gee Oh Pee in 1928… then again in 1972. The warmongers in this epic are, of course, Democrats from the wrong side of The Kleptocracy. The letter panhandling for this thing is signed Angela McArdle.

Anti-rights anarchists differ markedly from libertarians on weapons and the Second Amendment too. The loudest of the Austrian voices make it clear that their interpretation of 2A is that every bigoted mystical fanatic needs to be armed to the teeth with portable weapons in order to open fire on women’s clinics, shoot physicians, and resist arrest. The Libertarian and Objectivist position is that the Constitution forbids politicians to infringe the right and readiness of our well-regulated militia (SAC, Looking Glass, SDI, State militias) to keep and bear any and all arms that deter or repel attackers–including bombers and ballistic and other missiles.(link) Yet Republican and Democratic politicians perist in paltering with dictatorships to sign away Second Amendment protection.

Austro-Alabaman Anschluss anarchists right this minute ignore protection from nuclear attack, preferring to pose as defenders of the National Guard. The posture is about the same as that of the Christian Front, German-American Bund, Silver Shirts, American Nazi Party, radio priest Trilbys and similar Fifth Column organizations of the 1930s. Shifting from traditional efforts to reimpose prohibition and shore up Comstockism, those soi-disant patriots emphasized keeping These States from hindering the expansion of Christian National Socialism in Europe. Hitler’s calls for universal disarmament of liberal non-aggressor democracies down to the levels imposed by military victory over Germany’s force-initiating absolute monarchy, busily carving up Czechoslovakia, found eager listeners among those Amerika-Firsters.

Similarly, Putin’s revanchist Christiano-czarist monarchy is revered by worshippers of televangelism and Donald Trump as it carves up the Ukraine. West Virginia electors recently voted 2/3 to keep the Grabber-Of-Pussy in office. Jo Jorgensen, burdened by an anarco-communist on the ticket, managed 1.3% there, a 90% decrease from votes our pro-choice ticket of 2016 drew. (link) So now, entrenched Army Of God invaders can be expected to keep libertarian spoiler votes from interferring with Beer-Belly Putsch efforts to reinstall Orange Hitler.

Still, keeping autocrats from press-ganging the National Guard into foreign looter skirmishes is not a bad idea, even if it aids and abets czarist policies under color of libertarianism while ignoring the need for protection against incoming nuclear warheads. (link) This whole Republican State dog-and-pony-show is also autographed by Angela McArdle.

Good Reading: They’ve Shot The President’s Daughter, by Edward Stewart. This used-bookstore pulp-fiction discovery harks back to post-Nixon-impeachment Amerika. Instead of ‘Nam, our soldiers (and maybe guardsmen) are getting killed and crippled in Monroe-indoctrinated Latin America, while controversy rages around efforts to mess with the Second Amendment.

Adam Smith on Opium

Adam Smith had a lot to say about machinations of mixed-economy mercantilism (link) The above cartoon was published five years after China’s boycott of American exports prompted passage of a raft of prohibition laws.

It occurred to me this morning reading “Our Man in Tokyo,” that the reason nobody understands how Crashes result from laws making trade and production illegal or coercible is a sort of Gentlemen’s Agreement whereby the media suppress all mention of narcotics, except an occasional screecher like MAN WALKS INTO A BAR, TAKES MORPHINE AND DIES.(San Francisco Examiner 01MAY1893 p.2) That or some Hearst press story abt a white girl getting hooked then becoming the plaything of Wily Oriental Gentlemen to the spoliation and suicide of the Great White Race.(link) The events in Geneva Opium Advisory Committee sessions just prior to the 1929 Crash and 1930s Banking Panics are elided so perfectly as to vanish from human memory.
When was the last time you saw this quote from Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations? (Typo error in Gutenberg version corrected):

 It has not been uncommon, I am well assured, for the chief, that is, the first clerk of a factory, to order a peasant to plough up a rich field of poppies, and sow it with rice, or some other grain. The pretence was, to prevent a scarcity of provisions; but the real reason, to give the chief an opportunity of selling at a better price a large quantity of opium which he happened then to have upon hand. Upon other occasions, the order has been reversed; and a rich field of rice or other grain has been ploughed up, in order to make room for a plantation of poppies, when the chief foresaw that extraordinary profit was likely to be made by opium. The servants of the company have, upon several occasions, attempted to establish in their own favour the monopoly of some of the most important branches, not only of the foreign, but of the inland trade of the country. Had they been allowed to go on, it is impossible that they should not, at some time or another, have attempted to restrain the production of the particular articles of which they had thus usurped the monopoly, not only to the quantity which they themselves could purchase, but to that which they could expect to sell with such a profit as they might think sufficient.

Adam Smith, WON (link)

The East India Company, like the DEA, was an armed monopoly, except it was ordered out of China in 1836. Capital was removed from the USA to finance British attacks on China to successfully defeat prohibitionism. British agents then insisted it would only be fair and morally consistent for natives to be beheaded for planting backyard poppies. This distressing episode, plus the losses inflicted on American dope traders in the bargain was the bigger trigger as of March of 1836 for most of the Panic of 1837. The Species Circular that July 1836 probably cut American losses during the mostly foreign disaster.(link)

Good Reading: The Scramble for China by Robert Bickers. (link) Foreign Devils, our ancestors, began hauling Indian opium to China in 1808, when the drug was a chi-chi luxury. Like othr luxuries then and now, overreaction, envy, superstition and cussedness fanned it into a crisis all out of proportion. The Engish is impeccable, the writing subtle, economical and powerful. Yet the author skips what to Americans is a key sequence of events leading to the Species circular, the Central Bank struggle and the Panic of 1837. The Foreign Devils knew in March they were unwelcome and sure enough were asked to leave in December. Nor is there anywhere in the literature an accounting of how the Emperor’s displeasure affected American opium traders, and through them worsened the effect of the British withdrawal of capital to arm for the Opium Wars. But the book is nevertheless a worthwhile read and includes a charming history of early Singapore.

Texas LP Alex Jones Platform

Texas LP greets Republican girl-bulliers

There are no abortion laws in Canada, thanks in large part to the American Libertarian Party.(link) In 1968 Dr Henry Morgentaler openly defied religious zealotry by opening an abortion clinic in Montreal. Positive Christianity raiders arrested him, as they had in Germany, to the gushing admiration of the Prohibition Party. But that changed with our Libertarian Party’s key 1972 plank:

We further support the repeal of all laws restricting voluntary birth control or voluntary termination of pregnancies during their first hundred days.

The platform earned us some 4000 popular votes and one electoral vote. A fortnight after those were counted, on 22 Jan 1973, the Republican Supreme Court delivered its blow to Texas laws forcing women into the involuntary labor of reproduction by adopting the Libertarian plank and adding an extra week: (link)

(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.

Dr Morgentaler ‘s conviction was reversed on appeal, and charges against American women operating unlicensed clinics were also quashed. Canada erased all laws forcing women into the involuntary servitude of unwanted labor and the American Libertarian Party stuck to its successful law-changing plank in 1976. Horrified, the Prohibition Party, followed like dogs on a leash by the Republicans, demanded another Prohibition Amendment, this time to outlaw Choice when exercised by women.(link) This demand was repeated over and over as mystical fanatics sought to infiltrate the Libertarian Party–alongside a vote-repelling 5th column of anarcho-communists disguised as libertarians.

This is not a joke.(link)

To this day, people like Tokyo Rose, Spikey and Boothead, the Bilyew Twins, Pat Dixon and Alex “Whack” Jones seek to deliver the impression that the Libertarian Party needs to ally with the Prohibition, Dixiecrat, Klan, Q-Anon and Republican organizations of girl-bulliers to push sexual prohibitionism or selectively exclude women from access to medical treatment.(link) This conflicts with the 3940-word platform currently alienating Texans from voting LP. The delightful plank to legalize suicide defines women (pregnant or not) as individuals. So because it says no force of law ought to prosecute anyone in a pregnant woman’s assisted suicide, there is hardly an argument for going out of our way to pick on women voters over pregnancy termination. But consistency never stopped mystical fanatics from trying to concoct  one and glue it into the platform. The plank reads like a George Bush Jr Executive Order granting subsidies and immunity to “faith-based” torchlight mobs:

Recognizing that reproductive rights are a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, LPTexas believes that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration. LPTexas does not condone that tax dollars be spent for any such medical cost.

TRANSLATION: Subsidies imposed by the regulators that make medical care unaffordable render male treatment more equal than female treatment.  But why not apply this “principle” elsewhere?

Recognizing that the problems of theft, fraud and violence are a sensitive issue, and some may disagree, the Libertarian Party believes that government should be kept out of the matter, Heaven forfend existing subsidies from taxes continue another minute!  (Anarcho-communists push exactly that!)(link)

Conservangelists and other officious altruists recognize in law-changing Libertarian spoiler votes a danger to the political power (capacity to summon forth platoons of killers) they prefer instead of individual rights. Already the Texas plank has alienated fertile women from wanting anything to do with the Libertarian Party. The LP, consequently, is 75% male. The Democratic party, infiltrated by traditional communists and fellow travellers since the SDS and Chicago riots, is benefiting from libertarian gullibility and cowardice–especially in Texas.  There is, be it known, a safety valve to derail this lamentable trend.(link) Act locally. Support pro-choice libertarian candidates, shun the infiltrator and think for yourself.

What Biden Should have Said

This is what Libertarian spoiler vote clout is gradually teaching politicians.

John Stossel could be at least as good a candidate for the Libertarian Party as Gary Johnson, who more than tripled our law-changing spoiler vote clout. For more input from this brilliant thinker, see reason.com (link)
