FROM LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF COLORADO CHAIRMAN VICTORIA REYNOLDSA letter to
President-elect Joe Biden,
Last week, I wrote a letter that asked you to be a President whose purpose
was to end the national division and bring peace to our land.
Today, John Brennan, former CIA Director said that you, and members of your
team are now âmoving in laser-like fashion, to try to uncover as much as
they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that weâve
seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and
they gain strength, and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of
religious extremists â so authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists,
nativists, and even libertarians.â
President Biden, do you condone the words of John Brennan?
Do you believe that the people who asked you to follow the non-aggression
principle and bring peace to our land are the enemy?
If so, woe to your administration and to everyone who was foolish enough to
believe in you.
And woe to you for trusting a former CIA director.
Libertarians have not spied on our enemies, ordered assassinations, toppled
foreign governments, and orchestrated the bombing of civilians to achieve
political power.
No.
We remain a powerless political party while, it appears people like John
Brennan create a tailwind to glide former vice presidents into power.
Is this what the Democrats really wanted? To win the election so the CIA
could be in charge of America?
If so, when does the power grab stop? Does it stop once the Libertarian
Party has been silenced? Does it stop once the Green Party has been
silenced? Does it stop when anyone who disagrees with the CIA has been
silenced?
Does it stop when you have been silenced, Mr. President?
Yes, because thatâs how the CIA rolls.
Shall we discuss the grievances the people of Guatemala or the Dominican
Republic have with the CIA? Or the Democratic Republic of Congo? Is it just
brown and black people the CIA hates?
Libertarians do not overthrow governments.
The CIA overthrows governments.
John Brennan overthrows governments.
But, John Brennan does not overthrow white governments, does he?
Mr. President, if John Brennan is your representative then you should hang
your head in shame to America.
Libertarians asked you to end the national division and bring peace to our
land.
In response, the CIA director, who helped orchestrate coups against foreign
governments named Libertarians as someone your team wants to destroy.
If that is not shameful, what is?
â
In Liberty,
Victoria ReynoldsChairman

Thanks, Paul. I wouldnât describe the Supreme Court ruling upholding state-level election results as Trumpâs appointees âstab(bing) him in the backâ though â considering they donât even have constitutional jurisdiction to overturn state-reported election results, it was clearly the correct ruling. Further, not only are his appointees not obliged to vote the way he wanted them to, but it would clearly be a major breach of judicial ethics for them to base their rulings on any such consideration.
Trump deserves plenty of the blame heâs gotten, and of course Biden and others do as well. Itâs still kind of head-spinning to realize that local corruption kingpin Willie Brownâs former mistress Kamala Harris, who I briefly debated in a CNN news clip when she was fighting as SFâs district attorney to keep prostitution criminalized here back in 2008 in the face of our ballot measure to decriminalize it (despite once telling the Harvey Milk Club she should be considered an âhonorary sex workerâ), is now one weak heartbeat away from being president of the United States.
Regarding âthreadsâ, I was mostly just referring to the subject line title â which I forgot to change myself when replying to you!
Would you be interested in helping get the Marin LP up and running again? Which city are you in up there, btw?
Love & Liberty,

Righty-o, the former chair of the marin county LP. Iâve received a flurry of emails over the past few days from SFLP, so when I saw this latest piece of Brennan Stasi police state propaganda, thought yâall might find it interesting - didnât notice different threads. Solutions? Politics has failed. âŚ

Solutions? Politics has failed. Lots of âblame Trumpâ going around, but the deep state controls everything. Theyâre not going anywhere unless americans remove them. Even Trumpâs scotus appointees stabbed him in the back. There are solutions in the constitution and declaration of independenceâŚ

Cool, Mike. Are the lunches (some at least) vegetarian, preferably vegan? Iâm potentially up to help, but prefer not to work with meat. There are a growing number of delicious plant-based meat substitutes out there.
I would urge you for next time (if too late for this time) to consider buying veg*n ingredients for this worthwhile project, as healthier and more ethically and environmentally-responsibly sourced (even if you may prefer meat /dairy in your own diet). There is abundant evidence and fairly strong agreement on this, even among meat-eaters â Iâve cited a few sources below.
For a deeper dive, I recommend the documentary films âForks Over Knivesâ on the health reasons a plant-based diet is better, and âCowspiracyâ on the environmental costs of meat-eating. Also âFrom Farm To Fridgeâ (less than 12 minutes long â From Farm To Fridge - Have mercy on animals - YouTube), on the ethical treatment of factory-farmed animals.
"Analysis published in the journal Sustainability from University of Bath Psychology PhD student Chris Bryant suggests that 73% of meat eaters surveyed considered veganism to be âethicalâ, 70% said it was good for the environment and half (50%) considered it healthy. 60% thought veganism was âacceptableâ.
By contrast, over 80% of respondents thought veganism was not easy, 77% thought it âinconvenientâ and over 60% thought it was not enjoyable. Attitudes from respondents towards vegetarianism were significantly more positive on almost all counts.
The study, which involved 1,000 men and women with an average age of 34, was conducted in September 2018."
â From Most meat eaters support veganism as âethicalâ and good for the environment â ScienceDaily
"âWe showed that the same dietary changes that can add about a decade to our lives can also prevent massive environmental damage,â said Tilman, a professor in UMâs College of Biological Sciences and resident fellow at the Institute on the Environment.
âIn particular, if the world were to adopt variations on three common diets, health would be greatly increased at the same time global greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by an amount equal to the current greenhouse gas emissions of all cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships. In addition, this dietary shift would prevent the destruction of an area of tropical forests and savannahs as large as half of the United States.â
The study compared health impacts of the global omnivorous diet with those reported for traditional Mediterranean, pescatarian and vegetarian diets. Adopting these alternative diets could reduce incidence of type II diabetes by about 25 percent, cancer by about 10 percent and death from heart disease by about 20 percent relative to the omnivore diet.
Adopting these or similar alternative diets would also prevent most or all of the increased greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction that would otherwise be caused by both dietary changes and increased global population."
â From New Research Says Plant-based Diet Best for Planet and People - Our World [NOTE: I am not particularly concerned about âgreenhouse gasâ emissions, but I am concerned about wilderness/habitat destruction and species extinction âStarchild]
âThe production of meat and other animal products places a heavy burden on the environment - from crops and water required to feed the animals, to the transport and other processes involved from farm to fork. The vast amount of grain feed required for meat production is a significant contributor to deforestation, habitat loss and species extinction. In Brazil alone, the equivalent of 5.6 million acres of land is used to grow soya beans for animals in Europe. This land contributes to developing world malnutrition by driving impoverished populations to grow cash crops for animal feed, rather than food for themselves. On the other hand, considerably lower quantities of crops and water are required to sustain a vegan dietâŚâ

Paul,
Good to hear from you â I followed the link you posted and read the short piece.
I would encourage you and others though to start new threads under new subject lines when posting about matters unrelated to those in the message to which youâre responding (as far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with Mike Dennyâs group feeding the homeless).
Also desirable when possible, imho, is to focus not just on lamenting or warning about stuff in the news, but providing possible libertarian solutions or responses. Especially what we can do as activists at the local level. (Speaking of local, by the way, are you the Paul Kelley who lives in Marin? I was recently contacted by someone who might be interested in helping get an LP chapter going again there. Either way of course, you and others outside SF are always welcome to participate in this forum and attend LPSF meetings.)
So anyway, I get that torture apologist John Brennan is warning that intelligence agencies investigating the pro-Trump Capitol Hill rioters are coming after âeven libertariansâ. Any thoughts on what if anything we should do with this information?
Love & Liberty,
