I believe that @LPNational's upcoming @RageAgainstWar_ rally is more of a pro-Russia rally than an anti-war rally.

The Libertarian Party's involvement creates a huge hazard for the party and undermines the entire anti-war movement.

Here's a thread on why I believe this. 🧵
Let’s start with one of the speakers, Scott Ritter.

Scott is a former UN weapons inspector and convicted child predator. He doesn’t even pretend to be anti-war.

In fact, Scott is a columnist for RT and has many examples of being pro-invasion & pro-Russia.
Next, let’s look at People’s Party Chair, Nick Brana.

Nick's Twitter is full of Russian excuses & doesn’t call for any actual accountability or an end the war via a Russian withdrawal.

The People's Party also echos blame to the USA, NATO, Ukraine, & everyone except for Russia.
Next, let’s discuss Jackson Hinkle.

Jackson is one of the most obvious pro-invasion speakers involved.

Before Ukraine's invasion, Jackson denied the invasion would happen, but as soon as it did, he was on board. He even started selling “Z” merchandise to celebrate it.
Next, we’ll look at Garland Nixon.

Nixon is literally a mouthpiece in the United States for Russia State Media through Russia Today and Sputnik News.

Garland Nixon’s pro-Russia bias is very clear in everything he writes, speaks on, and frankly, who pays him.
Next, let's look at Daniel McAdams.

Daniel is the Ron Paul Institute's Executive Director. He has a history of excusing Russian actions & often places blame on the USA & West Europe for the situation in Ukraine.

An RT contributor, he also owns a domain known as "Daily Putin."
Next, let’s discuss Caleb Maupin.

Caleb is a communist & founder of CPI, one of the rally's main sponsors. He was accused of sexual harassment a couple years back, is a RT contributor, and hosted a pro-Z rally.

His Twitter constantly praises oppressive regimes around the world.
To add to all of this, @RageAgainstWar_'s demands are also conspicuously missing any call for an end to Russian aggression.

I don't believe this is a coincidence.

@LP_CLC called this out back in December:
As I see it, @LPNational must withdraw their support of this event as it has the potential to undermine the entire anti-war movement.

The non-aggression principle sits at core of libertarian philosophy. If we abandon it, we abandon everything we stand for.
H/T to the investigative work of @BowdenOnBass as his articles dug far deeper into this than I could.

Check them out:

Update: @LP_CLC put out a statement this morning calling for @angela4LNCChair to take immediate action to remedy this.

DOGE is a virus that’s actively and maliciously spreading through the Federal Government.

It’s a weapon to allow Elon Musk to take over the basic mechanisms of government and bring them under his power.

There’s a constitutional crisis happening now, and your action is needed.

Here’s what’s happening, how we got here, and what you can do to fight back 🧵Image
DOGE pretends to be a “reform” initiative—aligned with longstanding conservative goals to see a reduction in government—but the reality is that Musk has not limited government or dismantled the deep state; he is actively replacing it with himself.
Under his radical restructuring of federal power, the White House is at risk of becoming captive to Musk’s demands.

Here are three alarming developments you need to be aware of:

1. Musk-aligned operatives have seized control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), purging career civil servants and installing loyalists with ties to Musk’s private companies.

2. DOGE has reportedly deployed unvetted hires from his network—many under 25 years old—who seem to wield de facto control over sensitive government functions without security clearances.

3. DOGE has reportedly gained read-write access over Treasury functions and federal payment systems, granting Musk direct influence over the financial infrastructure of the U.S. government. This unprecedented control over money flows creates a national security risk and a personal power lever for Musk.

There’s a political realignment happening.

This presents the greatest opportunity that liberals have seen in 50 years.

Today, we're launching a project that seeks to capitalize on this by building a bulwark against authoritarianism that can last a generation.

Here's how.🧵
The far right and the far left are converging.

This illiberal alliance is playing out over a variety of theaters.

For instance, we've watched extremists on both sides:

- Praise Putin, denouncing Ukraine's self-defense
- Justify Hamas terrorism
- Push to elect Trump to "punish Biden"Image
This convergence is playing out in the backdrop of the 2024 election.

A race where a convicted felon who's taken concrete steps to stop the peaceful transfer of power — someone who seeks to dismantle America's liberal institutions — is the nominee of one of our major parties. Image

The @LPNational convention starts soon.

I have received the detailed @LPMisesCaucus strategy on how they plan to complete their effort to turn the LP into a satellite of MAGA.

They intend to rewrite the platform, backstab their allies, and redefine libertarianism as we know it. 🧵Image
Let’s start with the most egregious changes.

Their continued gutting of the platform:
The first platform item they’re seeking to eliminate is the one on free trade and migration.

LPMC leaders have made it clear that they oppose the basic libertarian principle of freedom of movement.

And others have called for an end to free trade and for the party to embrace isolationism.

This is another step in their effort to force the party adopt a platform closer to the closed borders, isolationist position of the GOP.Image

Today, Mises Caucus leaders of the Libertarian Party announced Donald Trump as the headliner for the Libertarian National Convention in May.

The MAGA "infiltrate and destroy" op of the Libertarian Party is officially complete.

Today, I get to say, "I told you so."

A thread 🧵 Image
In 2020, Trump watched the @LPNational Presidential candidate @JoForLiberty cost him reelection by "covering the spread" in several swing states. Image
@LPNational @JoForLiberty For four years, I've been warning that major influencers within Trump's orbit were working to infiltrate and destroy the party to ensure this could never happen again via the 2022 @LPMisesCaucus "takeover" of the Libertarian National Committee.

Liberals no longer have a political home.

It's time to build one.

Today I’m announcing the formation of @ProjectLiberal PAC, our flagship campaign Operation Phoenix, and my resignation from the board of @LP_CLC.

Here’s why this is necessary. 🧵 Image
First, I’m resigning from @LP_CLC to focus entirely on Operation Phoenix.

@LP_CLC will continue to organize classical liberal activists around the vision of @LPNational focused on winning elections.

I will continue to support them but I believe it’s time for me to change gears.
However, before I share the reason why Operation Phoenix is critical, I’d like to share my perspective on the state of American politics, the libertarian movement, and the Libertarian Party in the United States.

Let’s start at the beginning:

.@fakertarians just published a huge leak of files showing that the @LPMisesCaucus takeover of @LPNational has been a disaster.

This leak is beyond gossip. The evidence is in their own words.

The LNC may have violated laws involving the FEC, NDAs, sexual harassment, & more. 🧵
@fakertarians @LPMisesCaucus @LPNational The leak shows unequivocally that Mises Caucus is lying about the health of the LP and the PAC.

"Party members are demoralized."
"The caucus is basically over."
"The caucus is crashing and burning before our eyes."
"Many members are oblivious to... how bad it is."

@fakertarians @LPMisesCaucus @LPNational The leak has evidence of coordination between LP leaders and the Mises PAC.

One example shows an LNC member alleging that after an LP staffer was fired, he was rehired by the LNC Chair after pushback from the PAC.

Another alleges the LP is only hiring PAC members.
