*Life Development Thoughts From Dr. Timothy Leary

OPINION

Will weightlessness change how many people view things? Did ET’s have a hand in evolution? How do Chakras relate to neural circuits and genetic programs? Some contrarian ruminations…

Exo-Psychology Revisited

Selection: The juvenilization of brain circuits induced by weightlessness will produce a corresponding juvenilization of subjectivity. The psychedelic, or entheogenic, experience provides a preview of the de-conditioned, de-differentiated consciousness likely to characterize the juvenilized minds of extraterrestrials.

Libertarian Idea of The Month: Open Border Ideas Spread

LIO pro-Libs are now in every country. Shouldn’t they be free to travel and immigrate? Like this ain’t gonna happen.

Libertarian International Org Alone Defines Libertarianism…vs anti-Lib Nonsense of the Year?

Extreme conservatives are at it again–trying to re-define Libertarianism as ‘non-anarchist’ and having as a basic (!) principle the size of government…. Thanks to the venerable Robert Rich– one of MG’s first 1000 Lib pledgees and one of the last living attendees of the Salamanca Conference in the 60′s –  for his quick answer which he just sent us.  The Good News: Many Libs and LIO Friends are posting comments at misleading articles urging folks to get to know LIO… N.B. the lost soul among the commenters  who thinks the much-disliked by many Libbies and so-named Kochtopus is the reason behind modern Libertarianism… This cool response is so good we say LINK THIS POST! –and for more info please see:

RE: http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/04/26/libertarianism-defined-why-the-gop-needs-to-support-young-libertarian-politicians/#comment-35746

 

RICH responds:

The Libertarian International Organization alone defines the terminology and curates the movement of Libertarianism. This was decided by the then Libertarians in the late ’60′s. Their site makes things pretty clear at  http://www.libertarianinternational.org   No wonder, since the LIO predecessors have been active for 500 years.

 

Its present curator, Michael Gilson-De Lemos, as a young man revived the movement and defined modern Libertarianism in 1969 and replaced all other forms, pledged the original Libertarians, and networks the all-volunteer LIO the largest world group. His http://www.libertarian-institute.info drives most Libertarian legal change.

 

A browse through the site and its sister sites shows this article is based on an extreme  conservative fantasy that once again tries to re-define L/libertarianism, especially given e.g. that people like Rand Paul say they are NOT Libertarians. Perhaps it’s because at present most pro-libertarians in the US vote Democratic–and the movement has far deeper goals than caring about just the size of government: it’s about voluntary solutions in all fields.

NB: We expect that as the movement grows we’ll see more of this nonsense.

“Good news everybody! Libertarians are now ‘defined’ by some Goldwater influencee as anti-anarchist social conservatives who love  just a little coercive government! Soon, 2 +2 will equal 22!”

Saul Alinski’s Rules

How Not to Be A Libertarian In Public Office

http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2012/03/01/misspelling-prejudice-alaska-human-rts-commissioner/

Many Libs in Alaska ( and through the US) complained right-wing loonies infiltrated the party to create a bad name—and had gotten riud of training programs to avoid this kind of problem…what do you think?

A man named Mark Fish from Big Lake, Alaska, has bowed out from reappointment to a second term on the Alaska State Human Rights Commission due to a misspelled blog charging that “radical” feminists are out to “eliminate men from the face of the earth.”

Libertarians in Public Office (EALO’s) of the Month: The Nigerian Libertarian-Inspired Kalakuta Republic & Local Office Movement

L
MG fan artist and social thinker Fela Kuti developed Afrobeat music, staged hilarious political stunts, facilitated serious and effective community efforts that changed Nigeria– and awakened  a pro-democracy and cultural self-development movement in Africa.

…Liberal for the locality and day (Women has complete equality but yet punished for misbehavior, gays were welcomed)  and an avowedly libertarian-inspired and LIO-noted  haven created by artists for alternative living, general welfare that worked and  no crime, LIO fan folk-artist and activist Fela Kuti’s soon 1000 resident ‘non-governmental libertarian community with Nigerian traditional characteristics’ free co-op hung pictures of David Nolan, then LIO head E. Gilson, Ayn Rand,  Murray Rothbard and more–and was invaded by the dictators and para-military gangs of rapists and local Communist gangsters to re-emerge triumphant  first as a party that successfully championed federal democracy and put libertarian admirers  in local office then as local and cabinet ministers –and now as national symbol of local improvement and study of cultural heritage, and continues as local Libs work with Libertarian Citizen , Atlas, http://www.ISIL.org  and others to create a model local Lib-interest community. http://www.noripcord.com/features/fela-kuti-and-kalakuta-republic and

MONTHLY YOUTUBE: Sh*t People Say to Libertarians

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coJLmkC2-lw In civics Libertarians stand not for small or no government or public services per se (though this may be a great place to start–it’s called re-engineering–and has been a focus of much discussion to help the public to challenge and re-think programs) , but for voluntary and accountable public programs in contrast to many current ones of coerced taxation, legislated oligo-/monopoly or other outrage to basic rights, and legal lack of responsibility. Often the main problem is the voluntary alternative–private roads, postal services, free speech etc–is/has been illegal. Saying an irresponsible, coercive government should not let the mafia  build roads does not mean no roads. Got it?

This Month’s Anti-Lib Award: Good News, Everyone! Libertarian Globalizing By the Davos-Loving Elites Is at An End

Anti-Libertarian Haters Award

  …All this time they were posing as a rights-loving minority, Libs will be astonished to know they were manipulating Davos and cunningly running the world with the global elites to impose globalization the whole time–or so says this ‘opposition’ establishment intellectual in an astonishing re-hash of crank attacks on Libsn by neo-Nazis–as he explains the unrealistic dream of a free world is (at least as far as movement of goods and people)  is thankfully at an end– as left and right extremists join to bring back good old mercantilism, the latest ‘progressive’ innovation…and libertarian globalism has ‘ joined communism in the dust heap of history’.Among the wily card-carrying Libertarian conspirators:”… Felipe Calderón, Robert B. Zoellick, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, Nicolas Sarkozy, Ban Ki-moon, Angela Merkel, N. Chandrababu Naidu, Ferenc Gyurcsany, François Fillon, Morgan Tsvangirai, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Min Zhu, Paul Kagame, Queen Rania of Jordan, Dmitry Medvedev, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Kevin Rudd, Barney Frank, Kofi Annan, Werner Faymann, Leonel Fernández, Jacob Zuma, Naoto Kan, Jean-Claude Trichet and Zeng Peiyan.

 

Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Michael Wolf, Bono, Paulo Coelho and Tony Blair are also regular Davos attendees. Past attendees include Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Henry Kissinger, Nelson Mandela, Raymond Barre, Julian Lloyd Webber and Yasser Arafat…”
