Liberty Caravan 2 1/2: Utah to the ‘Shire!

Liberty Caravan 2 1/2: Utah to the ‘Shire!

By on August 31, 2011 in Activism, Meetup

Throughout history individuals have uprooted their lives and relocated to areas where they are better-able to pursue their interests and act without interference from others. They very literally vote with their feet when moving from places like East Germany to West Germany, or from North Korea to South Korea, and soon, from Utah to the ‘shire.

Bryce Nielsen, who is spearheading the convoy/tour Liberty Caravan 2 1/2 will connect with others at meetups along his Utah-to-NH route (to inform them about the Free State Project) and he welcomes others to join the caravan (either visit or move to the ‘shire).

Liberty On Tour Gets Crowd-Sourced

By on August 30, 2011 in Update

Liberty On Tour (LOT) couples on-the-road activism with new media to advance the voluntary society. When on the road in MARV (in 2011, in 2010, and in 2009 with the Motorhome Diaries) we publish a ton of content, but between tours, the rate isn’t as frequent.

Ademo and I just arrived in Manchester, NH so we can better-focus on our unjust arrests that happened in June. After the conclusion of this legal saga, we plan to hit the road again – this time, under the CopBlock.org banner.

So, we’re making LOT a bit more crowd-sourced to ensure a steady stream of solid content, such as:

DIY: Oil Change on a 2002 Honda XR650L

By on August 23, 2011 in Behind the Scenes, DIY, Update

In early August I left Keene for a couple of weeks on my 2002 Honda XR650L. A friend said I was taking a road trip from a road trip:)

I changed the oil before leaving since my intended route – the ‘shire to OH to VA and back – would put about 2,000mi on my bike. Also a good idea since I had just bought the bike one week prior.

I shot this video of the process using ones of two Flip cameras Kurt J. Hildebrandt recently donated to Liberty On Tour (thanks again bud!). And, since the DIY crowd seems to be pretty self-reliant, I thought some viewers would be receptive to voluntaryism, hence a plug at the end.

Property Rights Activist Jay Noone Remains Steadfast

By on August 8, 2011 in Update

A month ago we shared with you the story of Jay Noone who, since refusing to pay the ransom demanded by the local organized crime ring in Palmer, MA, was threatened with the theft of his home. Jay didn’t quietly submit. By standing on his principles he’s gained more support and on June 28th – the day he was told his home would be stolen – he was joined by 50 supporters, and today he still lives in his rightfully-acquired property.

Here’s our write-up about that day: Theft Threatened, Jay Noone Stands for Property Rights

Hiroshima, Brought to You By Statism

By on August 6, 2011 in Behind the Scenes

On this date in the not too distance past, a man pushed a button while flying over a faraway city. Fifty thousand individuals below died. Within three months another 50,000 perished. Hiroshima, 1945.

Statism – believing badges grant extra rights and conflating legislation as law – was the cause. It’s just a bad idea, and bad ideas have bad consequences. Yes, the man who pushed the button is responsible for his actions (as are others involved) but would he have been thousands of miles from home pushing a button that released an atomic bomb if not for that bad idea?
