In a World of Tax Hells, a New Haven Emerges

Posted on by

“I don’t blame you if you’re skeptical. I was too, until I spoke with Vit Jedlicka, the founder and president of Liberland. It’s a slice of land on the edge of Serbia, Croatia, and the Danube River. Neither country has ever claimed it due to a border quirk. Under international law, that opened up the opportunity for Liberland.  Surprisingly, the reactions of Croatia and Serbia have been cordial instead of resistant.  Vit is in the process of securing diplomatic recognition.  More than 300,000 have applied for citizenship.  Serious investors have indicated they’d immediately put tens of millions of dollars into the new country. Liberland has real momentum. Soon it could reach a tipping point.”

You’re a Criminal in a Mass Surveillance World – How to Not Get Caught

Posted on by

“To apologists of mass surveillance, what did Anne Frank have to hide? I ask because the person credited with popularizing the nothing-to-hide argument is none other than Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for the Third Reich.  Minister Goebbels would have wrung his hands with delight at having this depth of data on his regime’s citizens. But this data is absolutely trivial compared to what the U.S. government actually knows about you. Thanks to William Binney and Edward Snowden, we know that the U.S. regime has for many years been secretly constructing the means to monitor and record every aspect of our lives.”

Jeffrey Tucker: Is the Liberland Experiment Viable?

Posted on by

“A three-mile area of land on the Danube river, uninhabited, was not under the control of any nation when Jedlička put up a flag, announced a constitution, and laid out the terms for a truly free society. He and his colleagues have sought international recognition, and the international press has been curious and generous.  Within 30 days following this announcement, governments adjacent to the property blocked access, Jedlička has been detained, and the prospects of a new nation coming into being suddenly look grim.  Absent outside political intervention, is it possible that Liberland can actually be a viable nation with a thriving economy? Absolutely.”

Tomorrow’s Advance Man: Marc Andreessen’s plan to win the future

Posted on by

“Peter Thiel favors ‘seasteading,’ establishing floating cities in the middle of the ocean. Balaji Srinivasan, until recently a general partner at a16z, has called for the ‘ultimate exit.’ Arguing that the U.S. is as fossilized as Microsoft, and that the Valley has become stronger than Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., combined, Srinivasan believes that its denizens should ‘build an opt-in society, ultimately outside the U.S., run by technology.’  [..] The game in Silicon Valley is prescience, and then it’s removing every obstacle to the ferocious clarity of your vision: incumbents, regulations, folkways, people. Can you not just see the future but summon it?”

Can Freedom-Loving Czechs Build a New Nation on the Danube?

Posted on by

“Tired of high taxes, meddling bureaucrats, and the military-industrial complex? Consider moving to the world’s newest (sort of) country, Liberland.  A Czech man named Vit Jedlicka proclaimed the new republic between Serbia and Croatia on the western bank of the Danube on Monday. With a land area of about 2.7 square miles, Liberland would be the world’s third-smallest country, after the Vatican City and Monaco. According to its website, it has a flag, a motto (‘to live and let live’), and an official language (Czech, which seems ill-advised). Jedlicka is taking applications for citizenship, though you’ll have to apply by email because there’s no post office yet.”

A New Free-Thinking Community for Your Life, Safety and Sanity

Posted on by

Anthony-Wile1

“Anyone considering securing a secondary residence knows that finding an ideal place to live in a foreign country can be a daunting task. That’s one of the reasons for the popularity of expat ‘communities.’ Such communities often have drawbacks, though, in that they are extremely isolated, ideologically or geographically, or mismanaged and simply involve an unacceptable level of financial risk.  I’m especially excited to share with you this breaking news because the community High Alert is developing in Colombia has considered those drawbacks, and many others, and offers the right alternative. As they say in Colombia, ‘The only risk is not wanting to leave.'”

Free Staters Win ‘At Least’ 15 Seats in NH State House

Posted on by

“It’s interesting that Freeman relies on a list compiled by opponents of the Free State Project, but it’s true that busybodies can be annoyingly well-organized—and people are often more strongly driven to number their enemies than count their friends.  About the latter group, Dick Desrosiers, Chairman of the Hampton Democratic Committee, complained last month that [NHLA-endorsed candidates] dominate the New Hampshire legislature and ‘introduce and pass legislation to remove any and all government impacts on liberty and property rights and diminished the importance of protecting and promoting the common good.’  What better endorsement could you ask?”

101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire (Full Length Film)

Posted on by

“‘101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire’ is a documentary adaptation of the Free State Project’s list of 101 Reasons to Move to New Hampshire, which was written in 2002 by Michele Dumas. The FSP is an effort to move 20,000 liberty-minded people to a low populated state that has an existing pro-freedom culture. In 2003, participants of the FSP voted for the ‘Live Free or Die’ state, New Hampshire, as its destination. For over 12 years the 101 Reasons list has helped inspire thousands of activists and entrepreneurs to sign up for the FSP and continue New Hampshire’s reputation as a beacon for liberty.”

Voters post ballot selfies online in protest of new social media law

Posted on by

“The Legislature changed the law last session, adding the ‘social media’ part. It has been illegal to show your ballot to someone else for a long time, but questions came up about the law after people started posting photos of their completed ballots online. Breaking the ballot-selfie law is a violation and carries a fine of up to $1,000.  Dozens of photos popped up on social media Tuesday, in part because of a Facebook group called NH Ballot Selfies. The group has 14 members, several of whom posted photos of their ballots. Searching Twitter for #ballotselfie comes up with more people posting photos of their ballots, not out of ignorance, but as a form of civil disobedience.”

Ethan Nadelmann: Why we need to end the War on Drugs

Posted on by

“Is the War on Drugs doing more harm than good? In a bold talk, drug policy reformist Ethan Nadelmann makes an impassioned plea to end the “backward, heartless, disastrous” movement to stamp out the drug trade. He gives two big reasons we should focus on intelligent regulation instead.”
