I have the video recording of the organizing convention downloaded from YouTube, uploaded to my own YouTube channel, and am currently uploading it to my Rumble channel.

A personal thank you to our readers, and to our contributors, both money and content. — the Editor.
A Request for Help
You have probably deduced by now that our longtime friend is Jim Davidson. See his article on the status of his case, [Due Process of Law] (https://ncc-1776.org/tle2022/tle1176-20221002-05.html). Subsequent to publishing that, Jim learned that he must raise $5,000 for a retainer before October 20 to obtain legal representation, or risks having the case proceed without counsel and with no possibility of further delay. Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more. The rule of law demands the presumption of innocence until evidence removing reasonable doubt is presented by the complainant.
Jim has been released from jail after selling his car to post bond. He would prefer to retain a lawyer rather than depend on the tender mercies of a public defender. He has identified a lawyer he would like to retain, who wants $5,000 as an initial retainer. Costs are estimated as follows:
$5,000 for basic discovery, pleading, etc. 3,000 for motions, including to suppress evidence 5,000 for trial should any charges proceed to trial
Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer, with whom one is able to communicate in confidentiality. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

Didn’t Hitler commit suicide in 1945? Even if Hitler did make it to South America as alleged, he would be 133 years old now, in hiding — probably the last person to be a Twitter user.
From what I can tell, she didn’t intend for her petition to be for a dummy organization, but King Dildo referred to it as such on Facebook, I grabbed a screenshot of KD’s comment and sent that screenshot to McArdle and Harlos, and Harlos publicized that screenshot. Which apparently caused some bad blood between KD and Malowney.
Met with Libertarian Party of New Mexico [LPNM] Mises Caucus [MC] and some from the Libertarian National Committee [LNC] to get the ball rolling to form the Free Libertarian Party of New Mexico [FLPNM].
NO ONE for Public Education Commissioner, District 3, District Court Judge (8 running unopposed in separate “races”), Metro Court Judge (5 running unopposed in separate “races”), Bernalillo County Sheriff, County Assessor, or Probate Judge
NO on 9 judicial retention races
NO on 3 State Constitutional Amendments and 1 Bernalillo County Charter Amendment
NO on all bond questions (3 State, 6 County, 1 AMAFCA)
So, they don’t want to be affiliated with the National Committee while it’s composed of Mises Caucus members, but they want to be able to send delegates to that same LNC’s National Convention in 2024, because . . . what? Gary Johnson will want to run for President again, the Mises Caucus-dominated LNC will fall under the thrall of Johnsonmania, and they want to be positioned to take advantage of that?
I don’t care if the world is on fire and my place is the only safe spot left on the face of the planet, Mahon, Cain and Clements are NOT welcome to darken my door, for ANY reason, by any means (electronic, by mail, or in person), at any time or place.
