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.

https://givesendgo.com/G3DA3?utm_source=sharelink&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=G3DA3

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.

The Curse of 1913
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* The next time anyone offers you a ration of excrement because you appear to believe in a conspiracy theory (despite the incontrovertible fact that these United States of America were founded by a band of conspirators) be sure to bring up the name "Jekyll Island". Jekyll Island lies off the coast of Georgia (the one in the American South, not in the former Soviet Union), and at one time was the location of a grand luxury resort—the Jekyll Island Club—whose membership was limited to the one hundred most wealthy and powerful men in the country.

A Modest Proposal
by Blank Reg
There has been a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the provision in the latest fedgov “Bill of Abominations”, that 87,000 new - armed - IRS agents will be hired, to, presumably, “harass the people and eat out their substance.”

Hageman v. Cheney
By Charles Curley
For those who don't follow elections closely, last Tuesday was Wyoming's primary election. Most years most people, including the politically astute, would yawn and go back to watching Game of Thrones. Not so much this year. This year the contest to watch was the race for Wyoming's sole U.S. House seat. The incumbent was Liz Cheney, daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney (R-Deep State), and neo-con war monger in the State Department in her own right.

Lying to the Young
by Sarah A. Hoyt
All societies lie to their young. You sort of have to, for the same reason that translation is as the French have “betraying a little.”
