Is New Hampshire’s Future REAL Freedom OR Statism and Easily Rigged Elections?
By Etienne de la Boetie2, Founder – The Art of Liberty Foundation
In my book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! I argue that “government” is best considered a technique for robbing and controlling populations. It is impossible to have a legitimate and moral “government” because it is impossible to delegate rights you don’t have personally to a representative or “government.” You can’t be bound by a social contract you didn’t sign, and if my girlfriend and I can’t vote to rob/ “tax” you because there are two of us and one of you, then it doesn’t scale to a town, city or “country.” The belief in “government” is indoctrinated into children in mandatory schools and scouting before they are old enough to evaluate its logic and morality. It has been the biggest scam in all of human history.
The Art of Liberty Foundation distributes copies of the book to NH Legislators, activists, libraries and VIPs. We have hundreds and hundreds of copies of the book circulating in New Hampshire, and my SWAG/guesstimate is at least 1/2 of the Free State Project are self-described voluntaryists, peaceful anarchists or anarcho-capitalists. Unfortunately, the old-time religion of Statism dies hard, and there are plenty of folks who still haven't shaken off the indoctrination of the mandatory "government" school.
It is a weird dynamic because, on one side, you have the Statists moving the ball and slowly and surely gaining more and more influence in the legislature, while the other half of the FSP is slowly and surely educating the statists in the FSP (and the tax-slaves of New Hampshire!) on the illegitimacy of "government" on its face... It reminds me of the Daniel Dennett quote: "There's simply no polite way to tell people they've dedicated their lives to an illusion."
I think ultimately you are going to see the rise of "Privaticians" in New Hampshire where the population realizes that "government" has been a scam, BUT good, honest people step forward willing to help their communities by explaining the fraud, illogical nature and illegitimacy of "government" to their neighbors and serve as honest stewards to privatize everything that can be privatized vs. the robbing and redistributing of your average "politician." There are lots of "Privaticians" already in the New Hampshire legislature, even if they aren't using the term... yet! You can tell who’s who by looking at the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's Liberty Ratings, where every house and senate member in the State is ranked on every vote as being "Pro-Liberty" or Anti-Liberty" so you can tell the "Heroes" from the "Zeroes!" I just renewed my NHLA membership and encouraged everyone to do the same because you can't tell the players without a scorecard!
We believe the fastest way to REAL freedom in New Hampshire is not playing in organized crime’s easily rigged and immoral/logically illegitimate elections BUT widely exposing the illegitimacy and criminality of “government.” We have a shovel-ready plan we call The Pre-State Project, ready to drop an uncensorable package to 100,000 homes in the state while driving folks to town hall meetings in a dozen cities and towns.
