This Time Do It For The Free-Market

 October 2, 2020

 

Dear Jo,

First, we need to take up a question which has likely never occurred to you. 

The Libertarian Party was intended to advocate for the free-market when it was founded.  Advocacy does not end with a mention – but otherwise, the Libertarian Party has done nothing which faintly resembles advocacy for the free-market.

If it had done so, today  we would have made massive changes in how Americans view government; Americans would have experienced the choice to choose, building a transition from government to a multitude of choices offering what they really wanted and needed.  This is a free-market delivering an economy based on the advice of Dr. Milton Friedman, “If the only thing certain in business (life) is uncertainty, then we should base our financial systems on uncertainty.”

A free-market works best when it does not have to maneuver around government.  To activate choice, a free-market calls for a financial tool which accounts for the erratic nature of our lives and incomes, providing the safety net for those events which make our incomes erratic.  These erratic incomes are what cause most of the problems confronting us, as people, today.  We have been hammered into believing we need protection, and we do.  Protection from those who use government to limit, manage, and intimidate us into accepting their orders.  Once, 85% of Americans were small business owners and operators.  They involved their kids in their businesses and their kids went on to run businesses themselves.  They understood, as an elemental truth, how the free-market works. 

We have a financial tool which delivers a free-market alternative for all

major purchases, providing exactly what Dr. Friedman called for.  This alternative, Percentage As You Earn, provides a safety net, which generates a profit for lenders, lowers the costs to all of those involved, and delivers universal prosperity. Today, 85% of Americans are employees.  We can reverse this.  See Percentage as You Earn, Financing & Finansurance  Watch the PowerPoint

Dr. Friedman endorsed our efforts.  See Experts

How do we do this?  We just DO it.  We have invested years in solving the problems we saw growing.  Investors, now worried about the instability of the dollar, can invest in the future %PAYEments from borrowers.  Just to let you know, the repayment record of these loans, 400 years of records and studies, showed the default rate even at the beginning of the colonial period was so small it was hard to calculate; less than .01% over the lifetime of the loans.  Today, the default rate on large purchase loans with Rigid Installment Payments (RIPs) are routinely 24% in any downturn.

We are not waiting for permission, a license, or validation from a bureaucrat.  These are investments, with contracts to protect both parties – and they are %PAYE Finansured for both parties, this calculated into the amortization for the loan. 

The free-market is the lynch-pin between ideology and effective action for freedom.  The time for books, studies, and symposiums is over, for the moment. 

 

 Political action by Libertarians has been running for 50 years. 

Care to show me the freedom produced?  Tough job - there might be enough to fill a thimble. See graphic to the right.  

Political action, elections, cannot produce freedom or a free-market.  End of Story.  Political campaigns, however, can be useful for demonstrating solutions to the real problems we face or repealing laws and taxes, providing transition to the free-market from confiscatory programs, designed to steal from Americans, for instance Social Security.  We look so good compared to politicians.

In 1811, the Sons of Liberty, which was founded in 1765 in preparation for the war they knew would come, met and reconstituted itself as the

The Improved Order of Red Men.  This was the first fraternal order in the colonies. You will remember the Sons of Liberty for the role they played in the Boston Tea Party.  It was the same organization, then the Redmen, who provided the relief to Galveston in 1900, devastated by a hurricane, and also provided to its members a list of member benefits which included a percentage of income from the member to pay for retirement and medical expenses, similar only with the charging method, with what you call Social Security, today.  FDR was a Redmen member and ‘borrowed’ the idea converting it to a program for confiscating money from Americans.

In 1918, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks wrote a check for $1,000,000 to the Federal government to pay for the first hospital for Veterans. 

Medical care for all people is ONLY possible through the free-market because government steals to much for us to afford this otherwise.

The problems confronting Americans today.

81% of Americans are worried about foreclosure or eviction.

One in six Americans will have their vehicle repossessed each year. (And many Americans are now struggling to keep their jobs while living in those cars)

 

Health Care – Our money is eaten up in managing and intimidating us. See Health Portal TV

 

Do you think offering health & medical care for all in the free-market would be a winning platform? Percentage As You Earn (%PAYEment) Mutual Medical Finansurance finances treatment of pre-existing conditions, risk insurances, and Personal income improvement investments (Piii), the latter because your IronWoman Suit costs 3% extra. While Trump declares executive orders to force pre-existing conditions; the Supreme Court is pondering so-called Rigid Installment Premium (RIP) Unaffordable Care Act penalties or taxes and mandate; and Biden wants to be a single-payer fuehrer; you make all that unnecessary. How? The inclusive problem for the “poor” is solved for all on 2-way TV sign-ups in finansured groups of 10,000 using the same medical statistics as the whole nation -- for what people both need and want.

You ask why people would vote for you over tyranny? Answer, only because all you left politicians with, is their tax gun, by solving the problem.

 

Wildfires in California – Lost lives, hundreds of Billions in re-insurance losses and hundreds of thousands of people suddenly made homeless. And where are the WATER BOMBERS? The fire agencies, pretending to do a job, fooled the insurance industry who neglected to have them built – even though we told them over and over again this was coming starting eight years ago.  It is the reinsurance companies which should be paying to build these to lower their risk for loss.  We have found an aerospace company for producing the needed colossal bombers.  See Saviation.co

 

See Weather or Not You Survive, the show

 

Affordable Housing – When I say ‘affordable’, I mean using materials and building technologies which produces homes, businesses and infrastructure which are fire-proof, flood-proof, and have longevity (over 1,000 years), and costs 75% LESS than construction today, and is ready for use in a few days, longer if you want a two-story house.  One of the reasons we need to stay active politically, is to repeal building codes which continue to mandate the use of obsolete technologies and materials, which will burn and need repairs, creating a steady stream of income for the companies which use lobbyists to retain obsolete materials and technologies.  

 

If you blowtorch this material, made from all natural non-polluting and easily accessible resources, it might after several hours melt, but it will not burn.  Due to the changes from existing conditions in the areas impacted, the strategy of Adjustment to Climate Change should be followed. 

 

This will require infrastructures to act as fire breaks and debris flow channels where fires can be expected,  floods often follow these fires -- do not cause further deaths and damage. 

 

Our builder, who invented the material, has several versions which all work in the same way to construct bridges, overpasses, dams, and homes.  He is eager to show you these.  More information will be available after our shows on WLIT begin airing. 

 

We plan to showcase these (GICCI)™ materials being for houses built from specifications from customers.  We will show the customer how to sign up for a %PAYE Loan online, for a less expensive house the same way they pay percentages of their income every month for other services.  Demonstrations take place on one of our launching TV shows, which also provide solutions to other problems we now face, including restoring our soil, and growing locally to lower the cost of transport.

 

Energy use for heating and cooling, is largely eliminated in GICCI™ construction.

 

 The idea of moving to sustainability, meaning action taken in hopes of reducing the rise in temperature, can be attempted.  But adjustment to changed conditions must happen immediately to reduce deaths and minimize the impact of rising temperatures, as we carry out these plans. 

 

In our studies we concluded California, Oregon and Washington would experience a drop in population due to relocation of present residents to other parts of the country.  This has already begun to happen.  Coupled with the economic impact of COVID-19, we can also predict the changed practices of business will also lead to depopulation by migration from cities.  Cities were useful as hubs for business. These functions are now being carried out from home offices and by other internet and forms of media. 

 

Food production will also change, becoming more localized in response to health concerns, along with the cost of transport and packaging. These shifts in production will also be a subject on our Interactive TV shows.  

 

With what we have planned with Interactive 2-Way Mass Audience Participation TV,  Jo, you could win if you dump Michael and Carla and let us brief you for the many hours of 1 to 1 Presidential Debate Tourney rounds we have planned, out-competing the DemoPublicans.  We will be launching other shows as well, all using nearly 40 other ways to interact.  And for Debate Tourney, all other candidates have already been briefed.  Say hello.

 

Millions of dollars of discounted and non-censorship satellite TV, some cable, and streaming to and from devices, has been offered you daily for months.  So why do you continue to beg the DemoPublicans for the use of their 2 hours of time and stage?  With enough debate rounds, we can rival their ratings. 

 

More importantly, we can solve all these problems – and more.  Why would an American, left, right or Other, vote for the Tempestuous Two?  Not that we have any illusions we can trust either of the present MSM Dem. GOP candidates.  WLIT 1:1 DebateTourney.com/candidates and FiTNA media alliance will debate with you if you just let them during this last month.  

 

However, we will again invite Trump and Biden to participate in our Debates, as we did all 67 Libertarian Party candidates, including yourself. These are debates for some of the tenacious, hardy, and determined candidates who filed to run for president in 2019 - 2020 – but were ignored by the Mainstream Media, all 1,150 of them.  Full Information on Candidates  60 responded.

 

If we solve those problems, do you think those who provide the solutions could be elected to office?  The answer is YES!  Would it matter if they were elected?  No, because we will have put down the foundations for sustainable economy for all people.  However, we have elected two dark horses to the presidency previously using this media strategy. We will also be on our way to a sustainable relationship with the natural world – of which we are a part.

 

This is a plan for solving each of these problems and showing you resources you would have had months ago, if you had ever responded to our multiple communications. 

 

Never has a Libertarian candidate for president faced this potential for break-through. The office of President has been overstated from that of administrator for the Executive branch far too long.  Transitioning away from government takes us back to the original mission, the one stated in the Declaration of Independence.  

 

Government was to be small and do only what we could not see how to do in any other way.  Now, we can achieve that.  See Payehome.org/history

 

Every time you criticize government, you will have a clearly spelled out

free-market solution to which we can transition.  Voters will love this.    And you can tell people who need a job, why not start your own business instead, using a %PAYE loan.  In every place where you say, “bring the troops home”, for instance Central Asia, you can get American business trade treaties to compete with the Chinese Communists’ trade treaties – to build GICCI™ water/oil/gas pipelines, freeways and harbors in the free-market.

 

Our delivery system blasts through the Mainstream Media as these antiquated technology relics crumble, and those working for them scramble to sign up to work for us.

You probably did not realize TV as you knew it as a child, or even as an adult, is dying.  As with all businesses, this is revealed on the Bottom Line.  Losing money is the death knell for all long-established businesses as that here under discussion, 1-Way propaganda TV, such as the CPD.  In this case do not bother sending flowers.  Statistics PowerPoint

 

 

Some of WLIT shows, ready to be produced, are below. Others can be viewed on the landing page/website for coming attractions.  Interactive aids include chatrooms/groups which can be set up by participants for purposes such as further discussion and dialog within specific areas.

 

The first shows we are launching are designed to familiarize Americans who have not been involved in gaming with our technologies, which are similar.  Our later shows will increase the applications from these technologies. 

 

 

Debate Tourney – Where the real Debates Take Place.  All Debates will be Tournament, using College Rules modified for the audience to create opportunities for asking questions of the candidates several times during the debate program time of 47 minutes during the debate hour including intro, commercials and instruction on phonevoting.    

There will be a standard format.  There are three categories for debate.  For each Hour Debate the two candidates agree on one of these three categories of subjects to be taken up.  These are: 1) Economic Vision,2) Foreign Policy 3) Environmental & Cultural, Legal and De-legalization Leadership.

 A candidate can lose or win in each of the three category tracks and choose to debate with a focus in one category, if he or she so chooses.  Candidates decide the order in which these topics will be taken up for the initial three debates.   If the candidates can't agree, the first candidate who registered for the debates makes the choice.  At the beginning of the debate, candidates will be asked to provide their solutions to the problems the audience has named relevant to the topic, along with their Opening Statement.

 It is doubtful either Donald Trump or Joe Biden would survive a first debate.  They will fade as Americans understand their real options for solutions.

 

American Referendum – Where you dialog with others on issues, explore the facts, sound out, determine what issues need solving, and get the truth tallied up at your request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earth Path Defense - We have also taken into account the issue of asteroid impacts on Earth.  This will be funded through the free-market as a TV show.  You can be part of the solution through the show, and by joining and earning money by assisting thousands of others in solving the problem!

 

 

Congressional Clearing House – Most Americans have a vague idea about what Congresspersons do.  CCH is a place where the audience can post solutions in videos, charts, graphs now impossible to send using Congress’s text boxes or to staffers’ emails. For the last 19 years, Congress has been incommunicado from the American people.  CCH will be the interface.  CCH allows them to drill down and understand every part of what goes on in Congress, both houses, and most especially with their own Senators and Congresspersons. 

Monitoring their actions provides useful information for more responsive representation. 

 

Weather or Not You Survive

Eco-Emergency Alert is your tool for protecting yourself, your family, and your neighborhood. Using 23 Big Databases Dave Lincoln created an app which you can use to understand, in detail, the risks you face today.  Most of these are invisible to your eyes but still threaten your life and health. Survival is becoming very directly a matter of the choices we make as individuals, and for risk-information and liability citing those responsible is essential.

YouSurvive.info will use the format of a weather show but merge in these other threatening events using as a tool David Lincoln’s app, which better provides information on escaping wildfires and other threats, Eco-Emergency Alert.  The downloaded app is now available on Android for $9.99.  We are looking for an app sponsor.

Health Portal - Mentioned above, Health Portal TV provides the means with genuine economic incentives for preventive care and curative care, which is affordable at any moment in time.  This escapes the corporate subsidy hospital and pharma-governmental complex dominant in 65% of medicine today. Health care is provided to members within Cooperative %PAYE Groups with 10,000 or more members.  These are organized by long-trusted, community-based groups such as churches, fraternal orders, and other organizations preferred by members, or sign-ups on computers attracted to by TV to Health Portal TV.

By using our modern media tools, we create tools hammering out solutions available to people for action and organizing while providing the needed financial tools for sustainable investing and borrowing.  In this way, each of us can obtain a financial safety net without holes. 

The candidate who best represents these solutions has the best chance of being elected. 

 

Good health and happiness to you in Liberty,

Elect Jo President and Remake America

 

Dear Jo,

I hope you have been reading the series of open letters I have been sending you about Victory via Satellite courtesy of the Freedom interactive Television Networks Association, Inc. posted at AmericanVisionMagazine.com  As the Nominee of the Libertarian Party you have an ethical and ideological obligation to the Libertarian Party’s membership, and to Americans who do not understand the ideas of individual rights, and the power of the free market, to take all steps possible not only to speak, but to visually demonstrate these ideas. 

The time for ‘holding up the liberty flag’ with vague rhetoric is long passed.  Never has America more desperately needed to understand the power of individual rights and free markets.  And talking about these in vague terms waving the free-market like a magic wand in an invisible hand, is not enough; Americans need to see specifically how these can redirect our present slide to disaster economically and for freedom.

It took only six weeks of occasional inclusion of Bill Clinton on news shows for him to overtake a sitting president.  Clinton and W Bush used satellite daily to 1,200 news directors, winning when their competitors did not use it.  Now, all of us use satellite in at some part of the transmission of content, and this does not present an overwhelming advantage any more than the 1% of 20% receiving your message via social media.  That said, there are still millions of Americans who receive their internet by fiber-optic and coaxial cable, TV, phone, and cell tower device feeds originating through cheap satellite.  

I understand that no one in the LP, and your committee, understands how TV really works so let me provide some facts.  Our tech partners gave us the same discounts as low as $150/hour both in 1992 and now.  Our email notification blasts to all TV directors cost $600, 75% lower than market rate by media tech and connectivity people who don’t like censorship.  Oh.  I should have mentioned that as well.  We reject the power of the state to censor. 

One of the reasons I decided to declare for president was because we knew what kind of opportunity we could provide.  A daily interactive TV show from the road as a satellite uplink trailer is towed behind could radically increase the power to connect to voters.  We were pleasantly surprised you went for an RV since there are real advantages to the Road Show format, as Clinton learned from Brock in 1992. See PhoneVoter.us   

A show, airing before 11am EST from now until November 3^rd, can be on the air in a week coordinated with social media sites.  $100k for solely sponsor acquisition pays for $3M in sponsors quick for 90 hours of interactive TV.

Not only is this a free market campaign it sure beats begging for 3 hours on the CPD from the demopublicans. They will become irrelevant by November for a candidate using our array of technologies and approach.   

As I said, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to advance freedom.  And once people see it money will, as Brock told Clinton, “rain down from the sky.” 

Remember the Ron Paul’s Money Bomb.  That is an example of the power people feel when they can participate and see the numbers go up.  Having Americans see, experience, the free market is what we have before failed to offer. 

I planned to debate all the Debate Tourney candidates, especially those who are African Americans.  I have always been aware of the barriers they face.  My family ran a stop on the Underground Railroad, in the Benjamin L. Pillsbury generation from their homestead in Sandown, NH.  I was born with the commitment and I know you also feel the wrongness of discrimination. 

Think about it.  You can be debating other candidates seen at DebateTourney.com who could not break through the MSM barrier but are eager to debate you in non-censored format channels.  We have offered to partner for this with the Black News Channel as several of these candidates, who signed up with the 1:1 Debate Tourney, are African-American.  They are articulate independents with free-market solutions, and each has their own ideas for the problems we face today. 

Or, if debate makes you uncomfortable, you can have a dialog with each of them, and compare ideas on how you will get government out of the way, so the people can solve their own problems. 

Freedom is not a rhetorical device.  What we see demonstrated, we know is the only answer to our problems.  And at this moment in time, you can become a power for freedom like the world has never known. 

You are a woman and a mother; but you also in your person, stand for these ideas because you are the nominee of the party founded to enact these truths largely through repeal but that is not enough to win.  “NO”, no matter how largely written or spoken is never “YES”. 

I know this is a terrible responsibility; an opportunity which comes only once in generations.

For instance, you wish to order the troops home. That is government policy. But you can point out as a Libertarian that the Chinese Communists act like better businesspersons than the US does shooting up the place with plutonium bullets we never pick up. The ChiComs have signed treaties for $50T mining. railroad building, and harbor dredging deals in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and all the stans. American business could compete and build those and water pipelines from the Himalayas, and oil & gas pipelines from Kazakhstan where cheap ARCO gas comes from through 2 warzones and twice offloaded versus without the pollution socialists don’t care about. Nobody in a desert is going to blow up a partnership waterpipe or a money-making oil pipeline if its half theirs with individual stockholders across their stans, not governments.

The audience can weigh in on starving Somalian privateers attacking oil tankers for dumping barrels of heavy metals and Hydrofluoric Acid into their fishing grounds. The Iranian oil pipeline being built to Gwadur Harbor, Pakistan did not bother asking what the fisherfolk there thought. How do you use the free-market with real insurance to cope with bad guys who ignore the damage and extended risks they impose on Americans? See 19minutes.us

Smartphone users on TV via our Video Call Center will tell you.

On November 3^rd you could be elected President of the United States; you could overturn the lock the Republican and Democratic parties, now, even together, a minority affiliation for Americans.   Because of the low level of support for both Trump and Biden you could take one or more states and cause the Electoral College to send the final determination on to Congress.  That is a Congress which is divided and would never agree to allowing the opposing party to win. 

13% of women will vote for any woman, ignoring their party affiliation; many minorities are rightly fed up with how the Democratic Party has treated them; as president, you would ignore the issue of race and look to the integrity and abilities of those who served in your administration.  And Independents would provide you with significant support as well – once they get to know you through your show, Jo’s Show - For All Americans 

And debating is only one kind of segment we have planned.  You can tour the sites of 24,000 lead poisoning sites now bringing slow death and disability to Americans, especially children. Our environmental expert can provide you with briefings which are incredibly accurate and on point. Download our Eco-Emergency Alert phoneapp on Android that you can key to any zipcode you are standing in with 23 big databases on polluters, fire dangers via satellite. 

Even though firefighters are dying to protect us, the system which worked before the drying out of the microclimates there and the changes in precipitation began to coincide making disaster here, as it did in Australia, inevitable.  A private system, eliminating the failure of government to correctly analyze risk and the building regulations, kept in place by corporations who bought the right to control our choices through government, would have yielded to market mandates to limit losses. 

The entire West Coast is burning. You can hold in your hand our app which provides those in the path of death by fire, with what they need to know and what route to evacuate before the fire can reach them. You can advocate not for FEMA money, but show SAVIATION.co colossal waterbombers designs to be built by firefighting reinsurance firms that are paying the $125B/year price tag in California alone -- in the face of negligence by State & Federal Fire agencies that have nothing but puny helicopters and a handful of aged small tankers. You can showcase Rural Metro Firefighting Company for 3M people in greater Phoenix. It has no need to rise from ashes.

You can showcase Geopolymer Inorganic Ceramic Composite Infrastructure (GICCI)TM that is fireproof, waterproof, 75% less cost construction than government building codes, lasts 1,000 years, and lending for homes would be inflation-proof using Percentage As You Earn Finance that is also repossession-proof. Lead by visual example. As a candidate and then as president you can point to this; instead of ignoring the destruction of our economy.  And, as you know, the Federal Reserve is operating outside the law as it was authorized for only a century.

And you can follow the advice of Dr. Milton Friedman, who said, “If the only thing in business that is certain is uncertainty, then we should base our financial systems on uncertainty.”  My partner, Brock d’Avignon, worked on a tool for financing which provided certainty for both borrowers and lenders, yielding a good profit for those lending the use of money as the tool this is, and for borrowers, who would not be faced with losing their purchases due to the erratic nature of our human lives. 

The solution is NOT charity, it is choosing the tools nearly all of us, or those we love, will need at some time in their lives.  Disasters come in all forms and kinds. 

We are ready to launch Percentage As You Earn (PAYEment) Financing and Finansurance 2-way TV, which will eliminate foreclosure of homes, repossession of vehicles, and unburden students facing Rigid Installment Payment (RIP) debts on fixed schedules of college, and make health care available to ALL in the free-market.

You can show American business how they can use the free market to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East, and America. 

Nothing we propose is a government solution, but they all work, and you can use these, with our help, to turn America toward freedom.   https://phonevoter.us/

The delivery system for your show will be available from all devices as well as satellite & cable TV wanting to sell high-speed internet to computer PhoneVoters. Today, see WomenLeading.info about the Women Leading Interactive TV Network ramping up now.

The clock is ticking.  Every day, every hour matters.  Let us know when you can start, Madame President.

For Liberty - Now.

Great Strategy! A Ride Across America

 

Dear Jo,

David Demarest sent me your announcement about a second bus trip.  Congratulations on an activity which puts you directly in touch with ordinary Americans – and I sincerely hope many of those you meet choose to vote for you and your VP Candidate Spike.  I looked over your projected bus stops and they will with certainty accomplish the goal of eye to eye contact with dozens, even hundreds of people in the flesh. 

That said, I wanted to share with you an event which took place in 1992, the election year when the most popular sitting president in recent history, polling at 89% positive, went down to ignominious defeat meted out by a sexual pervert who had decided he needed to either be elected so he could hide behind the presidency or risk being scandal-ridden and forced to return to Arkansas, where he was then governor. 

Bill Clinton, that being the sexual predator in question, sought advice from a Libertarian.  Surprised?  Maybe so, since most Libertarians do not know the story on the four candidates Brock d’Avignon shot up in the polls following his advice and using his strategies.  The LP was sent the same offer received by all the candidates, 64 of them that year, except for Lee Wright, who decided he was not up to it.  All the other LP candidates failed to contact us, setting a pattern still followed today. 

You have heard of all the candidates who we had as clients in 1992.  One was H. Ross Perot, who reached 39% before dropping out, having realized he could win.  That had not been the goal; the goal was to humiliate an old Texas enemy of his, H. W. Bush, then running for re-election. 

Jerry Brown revolted by the idea of someone like Bill Clinton being nominated of the Democratic Party – or any party – launched a late campaign for president.  With Brock’s advice and using the TV programs prepared for his clients, Brown reached 21% in six weeks.  If he had started with us five days earlier, he would have been the Democratic nominee. 

Pat Buchanan, who was running to tweak Bush and make a point about the Line Item Veto, received 19% in six weeks.  Having made his point, he dropped out at the GOP and supported Bush.

Bill was in a slightly different category; Bill and his Media Consultant Frank Greer, called PhoneVoter over and over again for more and more detailed information on what the offered Campaigns on Satellite Program could offer him.  All consulting was, as Bill knew, based on the implied promise to join the program.  Doing so, would get Bill $100,000 of free satellite time.  The program Brock had designed included Unedited Presidential Candidate Speeches.

The idea of this must have made Clinton blanch and cringe; the Star Tabloid story on Gennifer Flowers had hit the stores on January 23; on January 26 the Clintons had given their Emmy-winning performance on CBS’s 60 minutes, immediately following the Super Bowl.  Gennifer held a news conference with her attorney the next day.  The impact on Clinton’s poll numbers was reflected in the primary elections, then starting.

The Unedited Presidential Speeches were delivered to audiences by Buchanan and Brown so the audience at home could react by voting on the candidate and by donating.  The audience, at the event, could react and challenge the candidate, which some did.  Watchers by TV could judge not only what the candidate said, how he said it, but also take cues from the audience reaction and their questions and comments.  It was a tiny amount of interaction, but it was enough to make a large difference.

You can see a short clip of that HERE Scroll down, it is the second video, the first is a clip of our opening; the second is Unedited Presidential Candidate Speeches from 1992.

In 1992 the Keystone Satellite Communications, was working to increase the use of satellite.  At that time, 20-Million customers were using satellite; half of these were diners and bars, the other half homes.  Melodee Paul was the Global Technology Manager PhoneVoter TV Network coordinated with for Keystone in 1992; she continued to support us because our program worked.    

Today, Melodee is a strategic advisor and ally.  She is offering special discounts to our clients this year as well, just to give her some recognition.  Today, she is a partner in LBiSat, a larger company.  You can see her, along with our other partners, HERE  Scroll to the bottom of the page.  She is the most respected name in broadcast satellite and a pioneer in business TV streaming with 35 years in the industry.

 Keystone was providing the satellite time as a lost-leader to increase the use of satellite; the Uplink Manger for the Keystone Studio on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, Craig Reese, had watched Clinton work.   Bill could handle the mike well by himself Reese told Brock.   

It was Brock who suggested the Clinton Campaign do a roadshow – with a satellite uplink truck rumbling behind it.  The Clinton’s, unethically consistent to the end, went around us to rent the truck from another party.  We know; Keystone complained to us about this. 

The price then, and today, for satellite is still the same, backhaul satellite is $150 - $1500, Prime Time. There are other costs, but I will spare you the details since those are not relevant here. 

Most Libertarian candidates who ran from 1992 on could have had their own satellite feed.  Clinton did this with a campaign chest then depleted to $50,000 toto.  Clinton was worried about paying for gas since the rent on the Uplink truck was $35,000 a month.  Brock told him not to worry about the gas; he would use the $15,000 to pay the news directors who would look over the content and decide if they want to use on their shows.  This way there was no charge for satellite time.  That is a TV news director’s job; finding content which is relevant to the day’s news events, such as presidential campaigns during the election season, human interest, or even funny.  This worked for Clinton.  At a cost of $600 a day, 1200 news directors received Clinton’s content and decided if they wanted to use it.  Chatting up people in diners, carefully edited by Clinton’s team, provided lots of good content.

In contrast, President George H. W. Bush, ran his campaign as a Whistle Stop Special, greeting a group of supporters, usually about ten of them, who had managed to find him at the local railroad station.  Brock had made Bush the same offer received by other candidates, but it is likely their media director did not understand what satellite was. 

But on November 4, 1992 H. W. was doubtless wondering how he lost.  And he found out.  When Bush Jr. ran in 2000 a full flatcar with multiple TV satellite uplinks accompanied him on his Whistle Stop Special.  We know, Melodee told us. 

And, as Brock had told Clinton, with mass audience coverage money rains down from the sky.  And it did. 

Today, you can get an Uplink backpack for $5,000.  If Jo decided to use TV, the right choice would be a tow hitch on her RV - and the Uplink trailer. 

So, Jo, have a wonderful journey through America and take some pictures for us! 

 

Jo vs the Volcano

 Dear Jo, 

You have got to be kidding - No, I know you are not kidding.  This is what happens when political rhetoric diverges much too far from reality, becoming tragicomedy. 

But I interrupted my work because I just had to respond.  The pitch, likely hastily written by Michael Emerling Cloud, Frodo, or whoever, needs a response which calls those encountering this page with a few, tiny realities.

The pitch begins – “Frodo is desperate and his mission seems nearly impossible to complete. Defeating Sauron, or the two-party system for that matter, isn’t an easy battle. Here’s a quick excerpt:

Sam: “… Folks in those stories had lots of chances in turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding onto to something.”

Frodo: “What are we holding onto, Sam?”

Sam: “That there’s some good left in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.”

As Sam said, those committed to victory never turned back and were fighting for something bigger than themselves.”

End of Lord of the Rings quote in Pitch.

Do you feel appropriately moved by these moving quotes from a book whose characters are, fictionally, going into real danger?  Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite works of fiction, but it is fiction drawn from a different reality.  I was not moved, though I cringed a little. 

Many Americans are in immediate danger today, facing wildfires which are wiping out whole towns and killing a growing number of people.  Burning to death is a horrible way to die.  My partner, Dave Lincoln and I have been following the build up toward what is happening now for five years as these same conditions were becoming obvious in Australia.  You can read Dave’s bio.  His CV is much longer. 

This is another of many issues for which Jo will not be proposing a solution.  But if you are a Libertarian you would be better serving the LP if you donated to this cause and let those receiving assistance know an individual Libertarian is the one who made the donation.  Americans are desperate for real solutions and this is only one of the disasters we are facing. 

“You and I are holding on to something too. We’re holding on to our Second Amendment rights, civil liberties, free markets, a foreign policy of peace, real healthcare reform, and transforming our criminal justice system.”

Jo, can you cite anything; what you, or dare I say anyone in your campaign, done to actually accomplish any of real goals or even advocate for them?  Any solutions at all?  Do you want to provide a plan you would follow in the unlikely event you are elected to the presidency? 

This is starkly empty rhetoric. 

“This is what we’re fighting for.”

In the absence of any discernable proof this claim, intended to extract donations, is sincere, I am entirely unmoved and find your claim, again, tragicomic. 

“And yes… together we are casting the ring of power into the fire.”

Would you like to tell us what that means?  Please.  

Does this mean you, the candidate, with either Spike or more likely, Michael Emerling, are going to do a Jo vs the Volcano?  Just asking.  I have known Emerling was looking for a candidate for this campaign for nearly a year.  I got a call from one of the women Craig Franklin, my former husband, Michael's best friend, uses  to fish for information.  I have shot holes in their schemes several times and they wanted my reaction to a possible Craig Franklin run for the Libertarian nomination for president.  

I laughed, and told Anne Fisher I hoped he would.  That ended it.  Not long later I heard about Jo, who Emerling had recruited as the VP candidate for Harry Browne.  Harry was running not because his opinion on political action had changed from non-political but because the stream of income from his books had dried up.  So, we got the perpetual book tour.  Such fun.  

Having no idea how to get the nomination, Browne called not Michael but John Hicks, who had also coached Ed Crane when he ran for the office of LP National Chair in 1974.  John is the best at convention politics.  Harry flew in and was familiarized with what he needed to know in two days for a couple of thousand dollars.  

Having the facts and spending hours listening to Emerling talking to Craig, the ex-husband, made me very familiar with what to expect.  So, Michael found Jo.   

“We can’t back down now.”

Absolutely.  To back down you would have had to stand up for something first.    

“Donald Trump and Joe Biden are crossing their fingers and hoping we will give up or simply concede… I refuse to do so.” 

Not to tromp on your pretensions, but the evidence available indicates they have dismissed you as irrelevant.  However, Trump has sent military helicopters to harass one of our Debate Tourney candidates, Michael Landingham.  SITE  I did not believe Michael initially, as you see, but he provided the proof.

“Our fight is important and one I believe in. However, our fight for liberty requires funding and I need your help. My goal is to raise an additional $300,000 before the end of the month so we can reach millions of voters DURING the debates. Please use one of these links to donate today.”

The flaccid end of the Pitch.  Just how can they, without a single solution of any kind get any attention?  A few years ago the argument we needed to raise the flag of freedom provided a knee jerk reaction – but this is now, and the conditions are very different.  And how about some transparency?  Who will receive the generous donations which you are requesting? Not who will receive the funds and send it on to another party but who is really being paid?

Until then, it is Jo vs the Volcano. 

Have a nice campaign.  Melinda
