with her own pantyhose, than to see her with a gun in her hand.”—T.D. Melrose

A Conspiracy Theory -- Sort Of
(The Feature Article)

Coercion is evil precisely because it thus eliminates an individual as a thinking and valuing person and makes him a bare tool in the achievement of the ends of another.

Because money is a form of communication, currency manipulation by the government is a violation of the First Amendment. — L. Neil Smith

A Request for Help

Dear reader,

We have in recent days received a request from a longtime friend of the Libertarian Enterprise for help. Our friend is currently being held in a small jail in a western state which shall remain unnamed for purposes of preserving anonymity, and claims to have been denied access to certain personal belongings (harmless items, including a book) which constitutes a violation of First Amendment rights. The only permitted method of communication is by way of a monitored service.

Our friend maintains innocence with respect to the charges, and whilst the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer, with whom one is able to communicate in confidentiality. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page, and our friend, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

Yours in Liberty,

Rylla and Cathy Smith
Co-Publishers, L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

Donations will show up as "Rule of Law", and will be directed to an account in Cathy's name which will then be provided to chosen counsel.

A Conspiracy Theory -- Sort Of
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* The Atlanta Declaration: Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.
-- L. Neil Smith, WeaponsCon I, Atlanta, Georgia, September 1987

Africa Needs Conventional Fuels, Not Windmills and Solar Panels
by Manuel Tacanho
The energy and climate goals that Western governments, the United Nations, and other organizations are pushing on Africa constitute a crippling blow to its economies. As the least developed region, Africa should unequivocally prioritize economic development. One would think that amid energy poverty in Africa, Western governments and “development” institutions would prioritize energy security for African countries over energy transition.

Russia or the New World Order
By Alan Bickley
In 2003, most opposition to the Iraq War was confined to the argument that intervention there would do no good to the people of Iraq or in the intervening countries. This soon turned out to be a true argument, and those of us who made it then feel justified in making it now in the war between Russia and the Ukraine. Some of us, however, take the further step of hoping for a Russian victory. Since this is widely seen as a step into some kind of moral abyss, those of us who take that step have an obligation to explain ourselves.

Poor Honest Men
by Rudyard Kipling
Your jar of Virginny
Will cost you a guinea,
Which you reckon too much by five shillings or ten;
But light your churchwarden
And judge it according,
When I've told you the troubles of poor honest men.
