A Request for Help

Dear reader,

You have probably deduced by now that our longtime friend is Jim Davidson. See his article on the status of his case, Due Process of Law. Subsequent to publishing that, Jim learned that he must raise $5,000 for a retainer before October 20 to obtain legal representation, or risks having the case proceed without counsel and with no possibility of further delay. Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more. The rule of law demands the presumption of innocence until evidence removing reasonable doubt is presented by the complainant.

Jim has been released from jail after selling his car to post bond. He would prefer to retain a lawyer rather than depend on the tender mercies of a public defender. He has identified a lawyer he would like to retain, who wants $5,000 as an initial retainer. Costs are estimated as follows:

• $5,000 for basic discovery, pleading, etc.
• $3,000 for motions, including to suppress evidence
• $5,000 for trial should any charges proceed to trial

Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while 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. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more.

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.

Yours in Liberty,

On Lincoln
by L. Neil Smith
*BLAST FROM THE PAST* My article "The American Lenin" was originally published in a large western newspaper a few years ago, and stirred up a reaction very similar to the one we're seeing presently, following JPFO's rerelease of it. I stand by the article now as I did then. In fact I've since learned that I was unnecessarily gentle with Lincoln, who committed many more evil and illegal acts than I was aware of at the time I wrote the article.

Keeping the Faith
by Sarah A. Hoyt
This is not a religious post. It is a creedal one.
Guys, gals, mantis shrimpies, we’re headed into pretty hard times. We’re already living in a clown timeline, or if you prefer we’re living in a clown car that is inside a dumpster fire.

A Review: War and Gold by Kwasi Kwarteng
By Charles Curley
I've actually had Kwasi Kwarteng's War and Gold for quite a while. I only decided to re-read it recently because I liked the book and because I thought it might give me some insights into the newly minted British Chancellor of the Exchequer. Events, however, moved faster than I read the book.

A Brief Synopsis
by Cathy L.Z. Smith
When I was a child, and it was the responsibility of others to look after me, that seemed to me to be the proper way of the world. To be taken care of is a child's hope. When I was a child I was a liberal.
