There is a Racist Guy Out There, And You May Know Him
Dear fellow libertarians, there is a wolf amongst us. Someone who deep in his heart is a bigot, a racist…someone who at the very least used to hold deep disdain for people of color in his heart, even writing about it in newsletters to fans. All of you probably know this man. You likely see him at conferences lecturing sanctimoniously about fascism, racism and bigotry or reading his writings where he unapologetically promotes leftist ideals such as political correctness and social justice, ideals which largely infringe upon core libertarian principles like private property and self-ownership.
Forget Trump and Clinton: Vote For Cryptocurrencies!

Guccifer 2.0’s Epic Hack of U.S. Congress: Cell Numbers, E-Mails, Passwords
Guccifer 2.0 is back. Last night he made a new post outlining his latest exploits, the hacking of the U.S. Congress, or most of them, mostly Democrats:
Interview with Cointelegraph
“In many ways technology is becoming the way by which average people like you and me are letting the establishment know that their services are becoming obsolete and irrelevant. Disruptive market technologies that help shift the paradigm and help shift the power from the establishment and into the hands of users will continue to shape the future in a very positive way in my opinion. Look at how Uber redefined the ride-sharing paradigm or how crypto-currencies are reshaping the world of finance. I am hoping that Cell 411 will be a small piece of that force that will move the world towards a better and safe future without appealing to the violence of the State.”
