George writes as if citizen voting is constitutive, that is, that everytime we vote in an election this creates and constitutes the State. It is almost as if the State would not exist if we didn’t go out and vote. Nonsense! The State is there, and it gives us this area of partial choice with which to work. Even is everyone (except those running for office to work and their retainers) failed to vote, the State would keep rolling on.

There is one case, I believe, where a vote was constitutive in the United States: the vote for or against the Constitution. (Unfortunately, of course, the vote was not on the Constitution itself–it would have been beaten–but on delegates to state ratifying conventions.) Even though we did not have anarchism before, we had a much milder State, and anyone voting for the Constitution participated in the criminal act of setting up, instituting, a stronger government. Those who voted against the Constitution, on the other hand, were great.

Apart from that, I maintain that there have been no constitutive votes by citizens which should be considered criminal or illicit.

Furthermore, trying to push back voting by the legislator to voting by the citizen as criminal, gets into more difficulties. For how can, for example, Mr.Z who votes for a Libertarian candidate who loses be held responsible in any way for the criminal votes of a Democrat or Republican? Mr. Z tried his best to stop them. Which means, at least, pace Hummel that voting for a Libertarian candidate is perfectly moral so long as the LP candidate loses, since a losing candidate has no opportunity to do harm. But suppose that, by a fluke, an LP candidate wins. Then, it seems to me that there is no problem so long as the LP officeholder votes or acts purely libertarian–that is, votes against the budget, votes against all invasive laws, or if an executive, refuses to enforce aggrssive laws and taxes, etc. But if an LP officeholder can be a moral and licit officeholder, then so can the guy who votes for him, and the entire argument in principle against an LP or voting for the LP or holding office as an LPer falls to the ground. But what if, finally, the LP officeholder sells out, and votes statist? Then he of course is a criminal aggressor. But how about the guy who voted for him? I think not. Surely the most we can accuse him of is error, of failing to detect the betrayal of promises that would occur in the future. Surely not an indictable offense.

Finally, I acknowledge full well that political anarchism is definitively breaking with the glorious anarchist tradition, especially the individualist-anarchist one. Well, so be it. As a rationalist, while I think tradition is important, I can’t let it be my guiding star.”~Murray Rothbard

We really need to have more events!!! America have PorcFest and all other wonderful things.

Do you know of any? Or do you want to arrange some?

Would love to get Stefan Molyneux to one.

650 Years Ago:
How Venice Rigged the First, and Worst, Global Financial Crash by Paul Gallagher Printed in the American Almanac, September 4, 1995.

(Comment: International Bankers, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, et al (Ashkenazi/Khazarian ‘Jews’) – sit atop the secret society structure, globally. Fiat (paper) money is their game. All foreign currencies are pegged to the US Dollar, and the US Dollar was taken OFF the gold-standard, in 1971, under tricky-Dick Nixon. The U.S. Dollar is constantly on the precipice, ready to CRASH, at a moment’s notice. This is why they viciously attack the price of silver. Venetian Bankers infiltrated the British Empire, and created Freemasonry. They infiltrated the American Empire, on numerous occasions. President Andrew Jackson ‘killed the [Central] Bank’ – that’s what it says on his gravestone – ‘I killed the bank’. Freemasonry (like the Bolsheviks were, and the ADL) is, fundamentally, ‘Jewish’ (http://www.rense.com/general50/zionss.htm) Governments, globally, tend to have a disproportionate membership in Freemasonry. Any wonder then, that governments are more into serving the Bankers (Ashkenazi/Khazarian ‘Jews’), than they are in serving their own people/citizens? (Hmm…Caesar, Kaiser, Khazar…very interesting!)

The History of the Money Changers
http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_Bankers.htm

“Economists continually try and sell the public the idea that recessions or depressions are a natural part of what they call the ‘business cycle.’ The timeline below will prove that is simply not the case. Recessions and depressions only occur because the Central Bankers manipulate the money supply, to ensure more and more is in their hands and less and less is in the hands of the people. Central Bankers developed out of money changers, and it is with these people we pick up the story in 48 B.C. below:”

Do You Know Where You REALLY Live?

The ‘American’ Empire, since the establishment of the so-called ‘Federal’ ‘Reserve’ in 1913 (owned by Goldman Sucks/Rothschilds) – has been an historical extension of the former British Empire/City of London/’Crown Corporation’/Rothschilds, et al. Just as the ‘Sun never set’ upon the former British Empire, it now never sets upon the ‘American’ Empire. This is why the American Military is used as a ‘global’ police force. Primarily in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc.) – to use up the foreign oil resources, BEFORE tapping into the vast oil and natural gas resources that exist right here in the U.S., as well as to establish a central bank or fiat currency system there – tied to the US Dollar, of course! And, to rape these countries of all their economic and natural resources! Ultimately, their wish is to destroy the national economies of the world (can you say Greece? Ireland?) – introduce a one-world currency (just ask George Soros) – possibly destroy this, too (then offer another of THEIR pre-planned solutions) – always toward more centralized control over every living and non-living thing on the planet! And, their ultimate STATED goal? De-population.
