Thanks. I read the history section, seems like a lot happened indeed.

How did you guys go through the Trumpocalypse ? Quite surprisingly for a mainland european I was very interested in the presidential campaign, backing Rand, then Rubio until Trump won. Then I supported Clinton that I believed was the lesser of two evils, until /pol/ sh*tposting turned me to a basic anti-immigration right-winger.

I backed Rand until he dropped out. For most of the campaign I disliked Trump and viewed him as a narcissistic nativist, but preferred him to the corruption and chicanery of Clinton. I became a late convert to the Trump Train around October/November when I came to the position he'd be a net positive of liberty and shrink the size of government. His presidency and policies thus far have certainly vindicated that idea.

Personally, I only support Trump on his more social ideals. I find him as more of a warmonger in this entire US/North Korea situation. The idea of a ceasefire in Syria and ceasing the support of Jihadi Rebels against al-Assad needed to be instated a long time ago.

Did anyone vote for a Republican president expecting them NOT to be a warmonger?

I'm not trying to sugar coat his foreign policy because I support him, but frankly we haven't seen enough to diagnose a coherent foreign policy philosophy yet. He's supported the war in Yemen, but is considering a troop withdrawal in Afghanistan. He bombed Syria, but opposes regime change and shut down the CIA """rebel"""-arming program.

He has not been a warmonger against North Korea; everything he's done so far has been justified. They incessantly make threats of nuclear war against the US mainland. If this was any other nation there would have been military action long ago. The time for thumb-twiddling and mild-mannered registers of disapproval is over. Yes, a war would be bad, but the options are limited and we cannot allow this maniac to hold the entire Pacific hostage.

Its power has grown to the point where smaller voices who want to make a name for themselves are drowned out by the RLP. I am not at all declaring the abolition of the party, or that its members should leave, but that members should vote how they see fit.

I will have to agree with you on the situation to a certain degree, however we need to be pressing South Korea to take more action against their neighbor to the north. I'm not going to deny the threat that North Korea poses to the entire Pacific, because we have already seen that and have continued to ever since the the 1950's.

We didn't get through the cold war by jerking Russia off until they let up, we told them we would nuke them right back. North Korea literally threatened to invade Guam.

We should only take militaristic action if they use force against the United States or our allies. Launching a preemptive strike would only threaten our diplomatic relations with other countries and give China a reason to war with us.

I too supported Rand until it was obvious the Establishment whores were ready to do the same thing to him that robbed his father of his primary victory. (Ben Swan kept excellent documentary records of the chicanery). Out of 17 candidates Trump was the only one that both the Left and Right of the Deep State feared (or showed irrational agitation toward).

Americans have a damned short attention span, and seem to forgot that he (Trump) helped form the Reform Party with Ross Perot and piloted a candidacy on the Reform ticket (which did not gain traction) for President in 2000. As a Reform candidate he has changed his position on only 2 issues--he has since become pro-life (attributed to having grand-kids), and pro-borders. The Reform party stands 1. eliminating the national debt. 2. keeping increase of gov growth a fraction of the gdi. 3. going to a flat tax. 5. removing NAFTA and eliminating GATT (I would consider going back into ranching if that happens.) 6. Jailing the banksters. and 7. disestablishing the shadow brokers in DC.

The rational choice for me since Rand dropping was to back the only person who had in the past put his money where his mouth was, had a track record of working in reality like 200 million middle/regular Americans have to do on a daily basis, and was bombastic, bullish, and pig-headed enough to disestablish the Deep State (Washington Insiders) ala Teddy Roosevelt. At this point all I want to see is DC dismantled to its Constitutionally lawful mandate; the mobsters who run it thrown in jail; and the Federal Government returned to the American People. Trump, unlike the cowards in the GOP (save those like Ron & Rand Paul and a handful of others) may likely succeed.

Sometimes I wonder that if people would have listened to MacArthur, Nimitz, Rickover et al. if we would having this conversation; It is possible that Korea would be one nation; Mao would have been a footnote in pre-60s history being shot on the battlefield or tried for war crimes and executed before he slaughtered well over 60 millions of his own; Peking (as it was then called) would be a glowing cinder, Shanghai would be the Paris or NYC of the Far East, and China most likely carved to its 5 constituent nations; and perhaps Tibet would have never been raped by the Communist offsprings of questionable legitimacy--although USSR might have likely done the same.

Historically it was the Democrats who started wars, and GOP was elected to stop them. Establishment GOP like Bush and Bush Jr were the first Rinos to actually start wars. We (Paleocons, Libertarians and Constitutionalists) in the GOP have been trying wrest control away from the Moderates (Moderately Socialist) and Establishment (Corporato-fascists)--statists all, but Conservatives only make up 1/3 at the most of the current GOP and radical republicans (little r's) like myself have had little sway since the beginning of the Progressive Era.

The GOP and the Democrat party both have warmongers par excellence but only if it achieves their respective ends--an internationalist world burecratic hegomon (UN, ICJ, etc) under the "benevolent" tutelage of the Anglo-American West (Democrats) with maybe Germany or Japan having a say while playing footsies with the WTO, IMF and CFR; or a globalist world corporatist (WTO, IMF, CFR, ad naseum) hegemon under the "benevolent" commerce of the Anglo-American West (GOP) with maybe Germany and Japan having a say while playing footsies UN, ICJ, and the Alarmist-flavor-of-the-Decade-to-defraud-our-rights (currently Weather Scaremongering).

US Deaths

Republican wars (Gulf War--a war of Resources, War on Terror--a war of Political Convenience)

6,574 -- 6574 deaths too many.

Democrat wars (Civil War--never should have happened, WW I--we should have stayed out of it, WW II--partially justified--we should have defeated USSR, Korea--had we taken out USSR Korea may not have happened;, Vietnam--What happens when following a UN mandate and bureacrats, politicians, and corporations micromanage the theatres of operation instead of letting the military do its job--also applies to Korea)

426,060 (low estimate)

I am not justifying war by any means. War unless a last act of imminent and present danger is reprehensible. Two itmus tests I would like for each politicians to pass is NAP, and Determination for Total Defeat by Just and Lawful Means if War is ever foisted on a nation that is practicing NAP

While the economics profession is far more nuanced, centre-right and diversified than it was in the Keynesian Era, it needs to reject once and for all stimulus-based economics. The fundamental theory of Keynesianism is 'pump-priming'; i.e. that government spending can alleviate unemployment and stimulate growth because it puts more money in circulation, thereby expanding circular flows of income and boosting aggregate demand. This is a failed theory that should be discarded to the annals of history. The left have abandoned the Phillips Curve and the inflation = growth paradox, why can't they let go of this one? Government spending literally does the opposite of stimulating growth because you're drawing from the private sector. You're not creating money, you're reallocating it from the efficient sector to the inefficient sector, meaning lower returns on investment, waste, malignant redistributions of wealth and disincentives to produce. It comes from taxes so by definition you're taking money, not creating it. There is an endless spigot of money from the Federal Reserve to support deficit spending and endless borrowing, but the more this continues, the more it impacts incomes, growth, the currency and incentives in a tremendously negative way. According to the Heritage Foundation, the $20 trillion national debt has reduced median incomes by $5000 just by being in existence. How do you justify that?

I'll add the caveat that investments in public goods like infrastructure, the police and the military can indeed promote growth and a healthy private sector. But spending specifically to 'create' jobs actually does the opposite. The best stimulus is spending cuts, tax cuts and regulation cuts!

Narland, New Nationale Einheit

Free Libertatem Coalition nominating convention will begin on Discrod in 10 minutes. Anyone may attend, only Coalition members may vote!

Friends, delegates, and people of Libertatem.

We stand here in this convention hall to celebrate the great tradition of democratic republicanism. As Ronald Reagan once said, freedom prospers when the rule of law is respected. A rigid Constitution, a firm judiciary and a free market are the greatest safeguards of individual liberty. That is what the RLP, and now the FLC, have always stood for. Free minds, free markets and free people.

And so, it is with great humility and honour that I accept your nomination as the FLC candidate for President of Libertatem.

Great strides have been made over the past several months. A rebirth in activity, reforms of the judiciary and renewed focus on the military have been a boon to our region. We have the great President Humpheria, his cabinet and of course my colleagues in the Senate to thank for that. He has endured many attacks, slanders and struggles, but through it all he has persisted to uphold the notion that all men and women are created equal under God.

Nevertheless, problems persist. The economy is stagnant, activity has decreased and we have just exited a series of political crises of a magnitude never seen before.

For a month, our region was held hostage by a gang of opportunistic thugs that sought to destabilise our institutions, scrap our laws, erase our constitution and enact a dictatorship. Through corruption, circumvention of the law, treason, blackmail, backroom deals and political sabotage, the terrorist group known as the Reform Party laid waste to our discourse and compromised our civility. I will refer to them by name: Auxorii and Hyderbourg eroded trust in our political system. That they were ever able to hold positions of power and wreak the damage they did is reprehensible. And that one of them ever could have held the office of the Presidency is unthinkable.

The dark days are over and we have put an end to their chicanery, but Libertatem must heal the wounds caused by these charlatans. Defeating them is not enough, we must move on. We need caution, clarity and unity.

I believe I can do the hard work to bring the region together. Since the beginning of the campaign, the FLC has joined together to form the voice of our region’s conscience. We’ve reached across party lines to fix the criminal code and reform the judiciary. If I am the Free Libertatem Coalition’s candidate, I will govern to restore trust in our political system and appeal to *all* Libertatemites. I will unify this region. I will Make Libertatem Great Again.

Make no mistake, my positions will uphold the values this region cherishes. Noting this, these are my pledges to you. I pledge to recruit vigorously and double the size of the population by the end of my presidency. I pledge to embark on a build-up of our military to confront the threat of communism. I pledge to shrink the size of government and rebuke any attempts to grow the bureaucracy. I pledge to appoint a cabinet of competent voices and fresh faces alike. I pledge to increase our activity and fully engage with our budding roleplay community. We will Make Libertatem Strong Again. We will Make Libertatem Prosperous Again. We will Make Libertatem Unified Again. And we will Make Libertatem Great Again.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the Republic of Libertatem.

The answer of course, is that it cannot be justified. It is fraud. I would say plain and simple, but this is an overly complicated Rube Goldberg grift that essentially debases the currency; robs from the productivity of the American people; and harms the working poor (whom the lying despots claim to be helping) the most. It is impossible to spend one's way out of debt, be it man, tribe, or nation. Of course Keynesianism like all socialist derivations are a form of confidence trick/scam that succeed (in its deception) in degree to the covetousness and turpitude of its mark (the people) and gullibility that the conman has their (the people's) best interests at heart.

It is obvious that currency and credit are too much for Congress to handle--they cannot even obey the Constitution that defines money as gold and sliver. They need to return legal tender, finance, and speculation to the free market to let the best forms of currency and monetary instruments thrive free from the corrupting influence of too much concentrated power in so few hands such that Congress, Golman Sachs, the IMF and FedRes are intoxicated by. Throwing the thieves in jail, returning to sound currency, honest banking, (unlike for a short time in some European countries) we (in the US) have never had both at the same time); and a Congress with integrity the American people might be able to work our way out of this in about 2 decades.

Updated the Ronald Reagan Super Factbook - https://www.nationstates.net/nation=pevvania/detail=factbook/id=151078

I have reexamined the statistics and come to the same conclusion that I did 3 years ago: Reagan outperformed Obama economically in almost every single measure. On growth, employment, incomes, federal spending and deficits and poverty, Reaganomics has a better record. Obama outperforms Reagan on one indicator, the stock market, which I'd venture to guess as being a result of quantitative easing and historically low interest rates.

Check out the factbook and scroll to the bottom to see the cool table I made.

Miencraft, Narland, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Jadentopian Order

Reagan's economic program was of large across-the-board tax cuts, reduced domestic spending, reduced regulation and disinflationary monetary policy.

Obama has a mixed but significantly worse record on spending and taxes, failing to reduce either on net, an inflationary record on monetary policy and an absurdly bureaucratic regulatory policy.

The results are clear: supply-side and monetarist economics trump neo-Keynesian economics. The numbers undeniably prove it.
