Weak statement from a weak @LP_Allies LNC, and a weak chair
Recent comments posted by the Libertarian Party of San Francisco regarding age of consent laws have understandably raised serious concerns, both within our party and among the public. Let me be absolutely clear, the Libertarian Party rejects the opposition to age of consent laws and unequivocally supports the protection of minors from sexual exploitation and abuse. Any suggestion that our principles require otherwise is a fundamental misrepresentation of Libertarianism.
Consent is foundational to Libertarianism. Without consent, there is no liberty.
Our opposition to the initiation of force and fraud is rooted in a simple principle: every individual has the right to control their own body and their own choices. But meaningful consent requires more than the absence of physical force. It requires the capacity to understand what is being agreed to, the information necessary to make an informed decision, and the freedom to say no without coercion or manipulation.
A person who lacks the capacity to meaningfully consent cannot simply be declared a willing participant. And minor children do not have the mental capacity for meaningful consent.
Our national platform is explicit. Section 1.4, addressing personal relationships, states: "Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships."
Adults. Consenting adults. Those words matter.
Our platform also recognizes the rights of children to be free from abuse and neglect. Those protections are entirely consistent with our commitment to individual liberty. Children possess individual rights, and protecting those rights from exploitation and abuse is a responsibility we cannot abandon.
Whether it is a drone strike on a school or hospital, powerful and politically connected predators being shielded from accountability, children trapped in failing government schools, or politicians and bureaucrats overriding the medical decisions of families and their healthcare providers, the Libertarian Party has consistently condemned the systemic harm inflicted on children by governments at all levels.
A child harmed by a predator deserves justice. A child harmed by government deserves that same justice.
The non-aggression principle is not a loophole for predators. It is a commitment to protecting people from them.
I reject any suggestion that the Libertarian Party's principles require us to oppose the protection of minors from sexual exploitation. Such a position does not represent the national Libertarian Party or the principles expressed in our platform.
I also recognize and respect the authority of the Libertarian Party of California to determine how best to address the statements and actions of its San Francisco county affiliate. I trust that its leadership will take these concerns seriously and address them through its established processes. The national party should respect that organizational authority while remaining unequivocal about our own principles.
Liberty belongs to everyone, including those who cannot yet defend it for themselves. Our responsibility is to ensure that their rights are respected, and those who violate them are held accountable.
In Liberty,
Evan McMahon
Chair - Libertarian National Committee

Minors lack the mental capacity to make the decision of consent. The fact that this degenerate is posting this garbage from an official account is insanity.
Absolutely sickening they are continuing to double down in their pro-ped0 nonsense.

LPCA has gone down hill since Adrian left.
Another state controlled by the @LP_Allies
Why we must defeat this regime.
I am on the board of LPCA- I wrote an email this morning to our public list. The only person who responded only did so to attack ME for saying anything against it. I urge people to read this thread about the SF posts:

Why does Canada's native-rights policies matter so much to the US LP today that it is a higher priority than open Pedophelia, suicidal candidates, and crimes on the board?
Simple answer:
To distract you from the fact they stole your data.
To distract you from noticing they gave it to foreign governments.
To distract you from their thefts of our assets.
To distract you from their suppression of their critics.
To distract you from their attacks on whistleblowers.
To distract you from wanting to throw shoes at them.
To distract you from calling your state chair and threatening hell if they don't remove their worthless region reps.
Hey @LPofCal and @LPNational - what the hell is this?

Sadly much of the party is too busy fighting and censoring other libertarians and self sabotaging. And don't you dare threaten them with a request they wear clothes at conventions!! 😭😂😭😂😅

Alright... I've seen enough. LP San Francisco needs to be thrown into a wood chipper.
As a lifetime member of @LPofCal, I hope their board takes immediate action to separate from these degenerate freaks.
I'll go halfs with them on the cost of renting an actual wood chipper to put outside their next convention.
Why is @LPNational wasting money by printing and mailing LP News out to folks? Who thought that was actually a good idea?

I see libertarians are trending.
Y'all need to know. There are two kinds of libertarians.
Ron Paul, Massie types that want limited government, want to end the wars and end the Fed. Love America, love American ingenuity and recognize we have a cultural problem in our core that politics alone won't solve. America first libertarians believe in property rights, the second amendment, 1st amendment with all of its ugly sides but regardless, free speech reigns supreme
And then there the ugly duckling in the corner.
Globalists and leftists masquerading as "liberty for all" while they celebrate mutilating children as "parental rights" ending age of consent as "individual rights" and destroying property rights with open borders. WEF plants chanting support and money for Ukraine while still wearing the skin suit of a 1960's anti-war protestor.
Scott Horton even warned you about them but you didn't listen. And now we have this shit, on full display. The party is sick, and it needs an exorcism. And it's vital because regardless of how fucking bad we are at winning races, when we are motivated enough, we swing entire elections.
So take note. The time is now, and there is a reason why the fox is in the hen house and we should be keenly aware of where that fox makes it's bed at night and I promise it's not in America.
After reviewing the documentation on the LNC data breach, everything points towards one single acquaintance of this rouge LNC, with high confidence, without any follow up/actions.
Is this the most corrupt LNC ever?

You can instantly turn a boomercon into a communist if you interfere with one of their many wars. Ukraine had violated Starlink's TOS to attack inside Russia. Risking WW3. Elon, correctly, stopped that.
Private property rights supersede your bloodlust, commie.

Anyone else find it strange that @CENTCOM is posting in Hebrew, has a dedicated Hebrew account, and does not have a "translate in English" selection? 🧐

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

To the Members of the LNC,
As the Chair of the @Montana_LP and a member of Region 1, I am writing to express my growing concern regarding the recent administrative decisions coming out of the National Committee. My priority, and the priority of our state affiliate, is the long-term health and growth of the @LPNational. To that end, I believe we are currently at a crossroads regarding how we manage our assets and maintain the trust of our membership.
I have been reviewing the recent discussions surrounding the sale of the national CRM and the subsequent disciplinary proceedings. While I understand the desire for efficiency and organizational modernization, I am deeply concerned by the lack of transparent, recorded, and verifiable processes that have characterized these developments.
When we operate in a way that minimizes the oversight of the full committee or creates confusion around the handling of member data and assets, we inadvertently hand our opponents and those who wish to see us fail the very tools they need to weaken our brand. We are the party of accountability; therefore, we must be the absolute gold standard for it.
I am respectfully requesting that the LNC prioritize the following for the sake of our unity and collective mission:
Full Disclosure: I ask that the LNC provide the full, unredacted contracts and the independent valuations associated with the CRM sale. Providing this clarity will go a long way toward ending the speculation and internal friction that is currently consuming our time and resources.
Protecting the Fiduciary Duty of Inquiry: I am particularly concerned by the disciplinary focus on those who have raised questions regarding party finances and contracts. Whether one agrees with the conclusions of any individual board member is secondary to the fundamental principle that our representatives must have a safe harbor to conduct oversight. Questioning the legality or the wisdom of a financial decision is a core duty of this board, not a cause for investigation. We should be encouraging rigorous scrutiny of our operations, not penalizing those who act in good faith to protect the interests of our members.
Restoring Focus: Our energy should be directed toward our candidates, our state affiliates, and the principles of liberty. Every dollar spent on internal litigation is a dollar not spent on ballot access or candidate support.
My hope is that we can move past this period of internal instability and return to the work of building a professional, transparent organization. We have a historic opportunity to make an impact, but we can only do so if we are united by a commitment to the very standards of openness we advocate for in government.
I look forward to hearing how the committee intends to resolve these concerns and restore confidence among the affiliates.
Melissa Wong
Chair, Montana Libertarian Party
The LNC is a captured by a bunch of dipshit antifa/socialist jackasses that are covering up membership data being stolen by their buddy.

To elaborate:
I got my start in activism at the very beginning of Covid when I started simply throwing medical freedom protests, protesting the government and OHA during the mandates and the lockdowns.
These were rallies and protests centralized around the common theme of medical freedom. Our events consisted of a diversive attendance of conservatives, Libertarians, disaffected Democrats, hippies, MAGA, anarchists etc.
I did not allow candidate specific messaging at our events and kept it focused on the core message of health, freedom and opposing state control.
Antifa would still show up at every single one of our events, accusing us of being fascists or Trump supporters or MAGA And do everything in their power to try and disrupt and provoke our events to turn into a total shit show typical of downtown Portland during the early 2020s.
We showed up outside of OHA to protest and antifa literally tried to block us from protesting...you guessed it, the government.
I challenged some of their members on this point as they were trying to claim they were anarchists and got them to concede the fact that they were indeed communists and there to protect the government they liked, not actual anarchists.
They showed up at the Oregon nursing board association protest when the state was threatening removing nursing licenses due to the covid lockdown and again, protested us protesting the government.
They would provoke, terrorize and do everything they could to get a reaction out of the participants. At our events I ran a de-escalation team that would intervene in-between our own participants and Antifa, to prevent Antifa from getting the reaction they wanted and permission in their eyes to engage. I did not want them disrupting our event because we had an important cause and it literally had nothing to do with them. I was successful in this effort at every single event that I was involved with.
At the end of the day, the organization and those that claim the title of Antifa exist to protect the state and its interests and are very happy to wield the sword of the State against you for your political beliefs.
Fuck Antifa.
