RUSSIAN antiwar Party denied ballot access

 This just in...

Germany's DW news reported Putin's not-really-communist government got its courts to deny ballot access to the YABLOKO peace party. (link) Sound familiar?

Fans of the pre-Libertarian Buffalo Party and the Ann Arbor Human Rights Party will doubtless recognize the clueless, meandering style of voters dissatisfied with the entrenched violent looter Kleptocacy--yet unable to even imagine an alternative offering voters something worth voting FOR! (link)

Here is the YABLOKO platform in English.(link)

Okay, I get that it reeks of Artificial Interpreter translation, but it's better than no opposition whatsoever, however insincere, to the not-really-Soviet totalitarians currently standing in for the Czar, Bolshevism, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev et alii all the way down to Gorby and Yeltsin... 

So, why not translate the 1972 Libertarian Party platform into Russian and Ukrainian? I have it in English and Portuguese, quickly adaptable to Dutch, German, Yiddish, Spanish, Romanian, French, Italian, and--who knows?--Icelandic? (link)

p.s. Mildred Schwartz' Party Movements in the United States and Canada: Strategies of Persistence, is now available on Amazon Kindle... for sixty-one dollars and change.(link)  Her book has come a long way since 2019. 


Cheerfully...

Connecting Prohibition, Crash, War dots

Typical drug manufactures chart, 1930 No American schoolbook mentioned the Opium Wars until Brian Inglis published The Opium War in 1976, the election year the Libertarian Party ran its second slate of candidates demanding repeal of drug prohibition laws. The audiobook version is now available.( link )  Brian's other drug book, the Forbidden Game, gives further insights into how prohibitionism developed as a cudgel with which pharma cartels wielded government laws as marketing tools and double-edged weapons once the colonial harnessing of addiction was out of the bag.( link ) The link between the dragooning of political States into marketing tools and weapons of economic warfare is not the sort of thing those political states extoll with pride. Enormous effort goes into disguising the fact made plain by Adam Smith in 1775 that wars prohibiting production and trade necessarily wreck national economies, just as purging the violence of law from trade relations gives rise to the Wealt...

U.S. Drug Report to League of Nations

Image
   Of the nearly 3 tonnes of dope seized worldwide in 1927, 89% were opium, 7% hemp, 3.6% morphine and 0.4% cocaine While New Yorkers slept in the wee hours of 19JAN1929, the Opium Advisory Committee assembled at Geneva, Switzerland for the 5th Meeting of its 12th Session to examine drug trade reports for the year 1927. The delay was mostly for foot-dragging by weak nations curious to find out what sort of coercion was planned for them, while concealing details of their own drug dealings. Fourth on the Agenda was the USA, and the Committee Chairman recalled that the summary of this report had been considered at the close of the last Session--meaning 1928 . Speaking for the United States, Mr John Kenneth Caldwell briskly offered to distribute copies of the 1928 report within 2 to 3 days. The Chairman was diplomatically dismissive and turned to the business of Formosa--a protectorate of Japan at the time which nowadays answers to Taiwan. Mr Sato explained that this 1927 report ...

1931, repeat of 1923 prohibitionism!

Image
  1923's scary 3rd Party pumpkin on the left was Jew-baiting Prohibitionist Henry Ford!  The German economic collapse of 1923 is styled " The Great Disorder " by academics bound and determined to elide consideration of economic results of prohibition laws as Crimethink . This apparently sincere article follows the pattern, but presents economic data with such precision and clarity that adding the missing facts suffices to make it obvious that sumptuary prohibition laws wrecked both the German an U.S. economies more than once.( link )  The Collet-Fohlin paper hails from Geneva, home of the League of Nations mausoleum. The first Collet-Fohlin chart on p4, Early 20s Run-up to Hyperinflation shows no Financial/Monetary event . Here are a few omitted events heavily impacting Germany's trade and production .  On 02MAY--05MAY1921, between the 13 billion marks reparations bill and London ultimatum, the  Report of the Advisory Committee on Traffic in Opium  ...
