You can burn in hell for believing his crap. The guy has no proof, besides his nut job ploy.

Pevvania wrote:Sure.

I disagree with him on this, obviously, but this video is interesting because Kokesh himself was a marine that served in Fallujah. It's an interesting viewpoint, especially since servicemen are becoming increasingly libertarian.

Yeah okay. Go to a U.S. military base and ask them their political views. A. They don't care. B. They are Hawks. C. The little few who believe liberals in the Democratic Party is the solution.

There are many service members who strongly believe in the ideals set forth in the Constitution and absolutely hate most politicians in Washington. It's more of a "I love my country, not the government" train of thought.

Well, US soldiers and vets gave more money to Ron Paul in 2012 than most other candidates combined.

I wasn't aiming that at you. And for the Marine. Thank you for your service.

My point is most soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors care little about politics. That goes with libertarianism. You can say they love guns and country. But many out their agree an isolationist policy proposed by Paul will never work.

I used to really respect Kokesh, but now not so much. Joining the military is the complete opposite of what he claims. It takes bravery, competence, and selflessness. Sure, there are a few incompetent morons in the forces who are there for all the wrong reasons , but you can't let a few bad apples ruin the orchard.

Which Paul? Ron is certainly a non-interventionist. But I think Rand is far more pragmatic, which I like.

I disagree with him on this, but I'm still a big Kokesh fan.

Fun fact: under Grover Cleveland, average US tariff rates were reduced from 32% to 27%.

Glad you asked. I've selected 19 active members of the community, who are being vetted for citizenship and trustworthiness. I'll then run their names through a random number generator and narrow it down to 6. After that the parties will check out the list. They each hold veto power.

Since nobody really reads any of the text on the application, I thought I'd share some of my dark humor with you.

I once had two nations as citizens, which is illegal, but nobody bothered to clear that up, even when I admitted it. I don't lie on the applications though, except for reading every single piece of legislation, which is unrealistic. I read the FRAUD Act and Constitution.

Alderney And Liberty City wrote:except for reading every single piece of legislation, which is unrealistic.

With the exception of legislation with hard-to-find written copies (those not in the Law of Libertatem's factbooks), I would hardly call that unrealistic. That's, what, two hours of reading at the very most?

I could host weekly sessions on 'Tatem law if that's easier for the new folks. xP

I like the flag. However, I do not support this amendment in its current form.

Rather than "establish an official flag for Libertatem," the Flag Amendment should simply establish procedures for the adopting of a new flag (so that, if Libertatem wishes to change the flag at some point in the future, there will be guidelines for doing so and the choosing of a flag-design would be a more democratic process).

My 2 cents.

Both Prosecution and Defense are in agreement on the Jury.

Chairman, you may announce as soon as the Jury members confirm that they will be active and participate, we can get started.

Interesting. Hopefully this will spell doom for Obamacare, and force the President to work with Congress and deregulate the healthcare industry.

Libertatem is basically that however currently we are at war with communism and most of our military efforts are geared in that manner. We have a government and if you apply for citizenship you can take a very active role within it from the start. You can join a political party, the army and run for election once you have citizenship. Beyond that we are a group of friends who have a laugh with each other.

We hold hands and kill commies

Muh Roads wrote:We hold hands and kill commies

That could be our new motto.

The Jury doesn't need to be active until the very end so we are going to get the trial started today. The Judge, Defense, Prosecution, and Accused are all moving to Court Room B for the publicly viewed trial. However, the region is locked and only authorized personnel will be present. So, discuss here if you have to discuss.

Jury, respond to your summons soon so that you can be ready when arguments close.

Will do. Hopefully, i'll be accepted. My nation is classified as a "Corporate Police State" after all.

Nobody here cares about matching up Max Barry's screwy "simulator" with real life ideology. Only authoritarian regions think it is an indicator of seriousness (never mind most of the issues aren't).

Oh well. By ideology, I am a secular, trans humanist authoritarian. Since this region is against communism, I figured I'd want to join.

Another bold step forward for tax reform: http://www.atr.org/governor-paul-lepage-calls-elimination-maines-income-tax

Maybe one day, no state will have an income tax.

I don't see how that is a good thing. Rather it is indicative of states giving up their spending power to the Fed, and therefore becoming more reliant on it.

Thanks to our new recruitment officers, our automatic recruiting tool is working slightly faster now - however, we have yet to see any significant gain in the number of new residents.

There is room for only one more recruitment officer at this time, so if you are an active, law-abiding citizen with NS++, please apply by telegramming me as soon as possible.

Greetings. I am from a region called Akiirik and would like to request an embassy with Libertatem.

Pev, Ankha, TNUS, and Samarian are currently recruitment officers. I am as well, but I can remove myself from the list without voiding my own contributions.

Another position will open in the possible, but uncertain, event Ankha is banned from the region - however, he's quite a heavy hitter, so his replacement would need to be quite active to make the same impact on recruitment as he does.

I can recommend we add Roads to the list again if he's willing, since he's more or less the reason we ever got to 120, so if he wants to do that again we should go for it.

Turn your telescreen back on.

I'd like to call the Board to vote over accepting embassies with Pro Choice. Perhaps we should discuss it first, and with the region. Abortion is a touchy issue, and there are libertarian cases to be made for or against it. We already have an embassy with Right To Life, so this may threaten our relationship with them, which has lasted for several years.

Thoughts?

Personally, I don't think that's such a good idea, and I'm not just saying that because of my thoughts on abortion.

Right to Life has a significantly stronger foreign presence than Pro Choice does; potentially turning them away to gain the favor of a region whose embassies I can count on one hand would serve us no benefit whatsoever. Unless the members of the Board feel very strongly about the pro-choice side of the argument, I fail to see how this is worthy of our consideration.
