Libertarian
Party Blocks Ron Paul & Judge Napolitano Revealing Neocon
Takeover
The
new Libertarian Party just claimed that the godfather of the modern
libertarian movement, Ron Paul “has no idea what the Libertarian
Party represents.”
This
week, The Free Thought Project was contacted by Michael Heise,
founder of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus who provided us with
evidence that leaders within the Libertarian party have blocked
Libertarian icon Ron Paul from appearing at their national
convention, over comments he made about how the party needed to stick
to principles instead of playing politics as usual.
This
past year, Heise has been on a mission to shake up the Libertarian
Party and steer it back in the direction of its origins—towards the
principles of peace and economic freedom that he learned from people
like Ron Paul.
“The
LPMC has never been shy about our goal of shaking up the leadership
of the party to give it a fresh look and principled direction that
the majority of libertarians would be motivated to support. In fact,
it is our first major milestone goal. We knew this would draw the ire
of party leadership and it’s supporters. However, we feel, as most
libertarians do, that it is badly needed and much overdue,” Heise
said in a statement on Thursday.
One
of the main strategies in this plan for change is to bring advocates
of the non-aggression principle and true libertarianism into
positions of power and influence in the party. This includes
promoting principled candidates who are running for leadership
positions, as well as booking influential people to speak at
conventions and libertarian events.
“It
is only natural that we would want to feel represented at the
convention and to have a voice both on the convention floor and the
stage. Nobody in leadership seems to be championing and putting
issues like foreign policy, specifically the absolute humanitarian
catastrophe in Yemen, blockchain solutions to statist problems and
the Federal Reserve fraud on the forefront!” Heise said.
“We
found success in this pursuit after connecting Jim Cantrell, part of
the founding team for SpaceX, and CEO of Vector Space Systems, with
Daniel Hayes, the chair of the LP’s convention committee,” he
added.
In
recent weeks, Heise attempted to follow up with Hayes about the
upcoming National Convention, which he is in charge of, in hopes of
getting Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano booked for the event. After
getting the cold shoulder for several weeks, Heise finally received
the following messages, stating that Ron Paul was “definitely out,”
and that he “has no idea what the LP represents.”
Hayes
linked an article titled “Good News: Young Americans Want a New
Political Party” that Ron Paul wrote where he was slightly critical
of the direction that the LP was headed, as proof that he had no idea
what they represented.
In
the article, Paul said that,
“Unfortunately
the Libertarian Party has failed to live up to what should have been
its role as an ideological alternative to Washington’s one-party
system. As was quite obvious in the 2016 presidential election, the
Libertarians yielded to prevailing attitudes on war, welfare, the
Federal Reserve, and more. In believing that winning was more
important than standing for something, they ended up achieving
neither. I would still like to have some hope for the Libertarian
Party, but to really fill its role as a challenger to our two-party
system (that is actually a one-party system) it would need a major
overhaul. It would need to actually embrace the core libertarian
principles of non-aggression and non-intervention in the affairs of
others.”...
