i don't think there's anything wrong with that. we're going to have internal movements, arguments, and discussions.
N

these arguments are what i call inside baseball, inside the libertarian movement we argue with each other.

i believe we're coming up on 2,500 published op-eds not nearly all of them by me, but i have a hand in editing and submitting them.

suggests that the ultimate problem is the existence of the state, and we should get rid of the state.

for sites that aren't libertarian blogs, picking up this content and publishing it. our first week's content has been picked up three times.

31
Male
i'm kind of proud of what we accomplished, my hope when i was setting initial goals, i was hoping by mid year to be averaging 10 pickups of our content every week.
H

i think we're already getting there.
N

inside baseball and outreach. i don't have a problem with either one of those things, i love inside baseball. i will argue with other libertarians all day long.
N
4.6
3.2
5
31
Male
i don't think we have any reason that, a lot of people will bemoan the fact that libertarians argue with each other a lot.

i don't think it's a bad thing. i think it's a really good thing.

hashing out the problems, having the arguments and then taking the results.

so there's your a probably five minute rant they. all out of things, ask me anything question or ask me anything. thanks for asking.

i love doing what i'm doing at the garrison center, but.
X
2.555556
3.888889
3.888889
31
Male
yeah, i'm going to have to make a little bit of money if i'm going to devote several hours a week to it, which on a schedule of three op-eds per week.
C
3.8
3
4.6
31
Male
and leave out the time that i spent tracking whether the op-ed had got published, and submitting the op-ed to publications, and so on and so forth.
X
3.6
3.4
3.6
31
Male
so just keep that in mind, as you listen to this podcast, or as you read my blog.
N
4.2
4.2

31
Male
there's no such thing as a free op-ed. every op-ed costs people time, it costs people effort, it costs people research, it costs people work.
A
4.6
2.6
5
31
Male
but the same also applies at any other site you support that's not what i'm talking about. maybe you liked the content at [inaudible 00:06:24] dot org or at the future.

Male
that's time that he could have spent doing something else.
C

31
Male
i haven't consulted with him. this is going to be a different kind of episode.
N
4.4
3.6
3.4
31
Male
second disclaimer, i work at the center for a stateless society.
N
3.764706
3.705882
4.176471
31
Male
and that organization is involved in what i'm going to talk about tonight.
X

3.2
3.2
31
Male
i am also speaking only for myself and not for the center in any comments that i make here.
N
4
3.2
4.8
31
Male
i'm a little bit at the end of the old rope here, but i'm not going to put off the podcast for any longer.
N
2.8
3.8
2.8
31
Male
the key fact of which is that in that facebook post.
N
1.8
3.4
2.6
31
Male
he confessed that 10 years ago in 2004, i guess 11 years ago possibly somewhere, in 2004.
X
4
3.6
4.4
31
Male
he sexually molested a young family member.
D
3
1.6
4.4
31
Male
i did not know this was coming. i did not know that what he confessed to had happened.
U
4.307692
2.461538
4.538462
31
Male
i was as surprised as anyone by this stunning confession and the other things that accompanied it, including.
U
3.4
3.4
4.6
31
Male
a plan to turn himself into the police, which as far as i know, did not happen.
X
3.636364
3.272727
4.272727
31
Male
although i have heard from sources, i consider reliable, that he is in police custody as of now, but i can't promise that that's true.
N
3.777778
4.222222
4.444444
31
Male
obviously one of the immediate concerns.
F
3.2
3
4.4
31
Male
came from the center for a stateless society.
N
2.4
4
3.4
31
Male
brad was a co-founder of the center for a stateless society. he was as director until circa 2010. so.
N
3.6
4.2
4.2
31
Male
it was founded in 2006. so half of his history, he was its director.
N
3.6
4
3.8
31
Male
he was actively involved in it to one extent or another until about two years ago, sometime in 2012.
N
4
3
4
31
Male
second or third quarter of 2012, as best as i can pin that down by correspondence and recollection.
H
5
4.8
4.4
31
Male
so obviously the center needed to make a statement. it did.
S
2.9
3.2
3.3
31
Male
that statement is titled freedom of disassociation, and in that statement the center condemns brad's confessed actions.
X
3.4
3.4
3
31
Male
disassociates itself as an organization from him permanently.
N
2.789474
3.368421
3.578947
31
Male
and admits, i'm going to quote here, quote.
N
3.4
3.8
3.8
31
Male
"there is absolutely no avoiding the elephant in the room: spangler co-founded c4ss. he was a key a builder of its infrastructure."
N
4.2
3.8
4.2
31
Male
but he has not been part of c for ss for a long time, either publicly or behind the scenes.
N
3.4
3
4.2
31
Male
his biography on the website, erroneously listed him as a senior fellow until yesterday.
X
4
2.2
4
31
Male
this was issued. so we're talking about, friday, that description should have been changed long ago, simply for accuracy's sake.
D
3.2
3
4.4
31
Male
that's the main gist of the center's statement on the matter.
N
4
4
4
31
Male
i was involved in the framing of that statement. i approve a great deal of that statement.
X
4.2
4.6
4.8
31
Male
on my blog at knappster, that's k-n-a-p-p-s-t-e-r, dot blog spot dot com.
N
3.8
4.2
4.4
31
Male
you'll find a link to the statement, as well as a reprint of the statement with the parts that i disassociate myself from.
N
3.4
4
3.4
31
Male
annotated as to why.
N
4
4
5
31
Male
here's where i disagree with the center.
N
4
3
4
31
Male
the center is currently in the process of, and they will disagree with this term.
N
3.4
3.4
3.6
31
Male
memory holing brad spangler. taking everything he wrote at the center and moving it off of our site.
X
4.75
3.5
4.583333
31
Male
i disagree with that.
A
3.8
2.4
4.8
31
Male
i do not.yeah.i obviously i care what he did and condemn what he did.
C
2.916667
2.333333
4.5
31
Male
but once again, he founded the center. he was responsible for the center's emergent ideological line. he directed the center for four years.
N
5
4
5
31
Male
removing his content will leave a hole in the center's infrastructure.
N
4
4
4
31
Male
that will be a brad spangler shaped hole.
N
4
3.6
4.2
31
Male
it won't make anybody forget that he was once affiliated with us. it's a...
N
3
3.6
3
31
Male
a theatrical, and in my opinion, panicked gesture.
O
4
2.8
4.6
31
Male
there's also some additional stuff in the center's statement.
N
2.6
3.8
3
31
Male
that i disagree with, and i explain why at the blog, i'm not going to rehearse that all here.
O
4
2.6
4.8
31
Male
it's been a rough 48 hours, folks.
S
2.25
2.666667
3.333333
31
Male
i've known brad spangler since, and i'm, you know...
N
3
4
3
31
Male
a little fuzzy here on the exact date, but let's call it 1998.
N
4
4
4
31
Male
i was involved in the libertarian party, and so was he.
X
3.8
4.8
4
31
Male
he was elected to, and served a two year term as a city councilman in north kansas city, missouri.
N
3
4
4
31
Male
before abandoning electoral politics for anarchism.
X
4
3.2
3.8
31
Male
a position which he, over the succeeding years, persuaded me to.
N
3.4
4
3.6
31
Male
so if you have to, anyone to credit for making me into a left wing market anarchist, the person to credit is brad spangler.
X
2.6
3.2
4.2
31
Male
we've not been close for several years. i don't know if he's been close with anyone for several years.
S
3.4
2.6
3.4
31
Male
i think most people who know him, knew that he had long abouts of apparent depression.
S
2.6
3
4.2
31
Male
in which he would just close himself off from everyone. i suspect that we now have a clue as to why that would be the case.
S
3.076923
3.538462
3.538462
31
Male
i don't know how many times i can say i condemn what the molestation of a child by anyone, including brad.
D
4.4
2.2
4.6
31
Male
i owe brad. he's not somebody i will throw under the bus as a person.
C
4
4.2
5
31
Male
if he's going to jail, it will not be for the first time. at least one of the times he went to jail, it was with me.
D
3.8
2.8
4.6
31
Male
through no fault of his own, he got caught up in a dispute between myself and my ex-wife over visitation and child support.
N
4

31
Male
the company i worked for gone bankrupt, i got behind on my child support. i was catching up.
S
4.2
3.6

31
Male
thomas knapp: my ex-wife contrived to set up an ambush in which
N
3.363636
2.454545
4.181818
31
Male
the police arrested me, just as i was getting caught back up enough to not be eligible for arrest.
S
4.461538
2.615385
4.461538
31
Male
brad had given me a ride to go visit my daughter and since he had an expired plate on his car, he got arrested too. we spent four hours in jail.
N
3.090909
2.090909
4.090909
31
Male
so like i said, this is a person that i'm not going to just discard like trash
A
3.4
2.8
4.6
31
Male
if he is prison or some kind of a mental institution.
S
2.666667
3.333333
3.833333
31
Male
i've done a lot of things, all of which i consider good things with brad [spangler].
H
3.4
4.4
3.4
31
Male
if anyone has a problem with my position on that matter, i understand.
X
4.083333
3
4.666667
31
Male
my first sympathies in this situation are with the victim, not with brad.
U
4
4
4.4
31
Male
the actions he confessed to were so wrong and evil and damaging that there's just no justification there.
D
3.4
1.6
3.8
31
Male
that doesn't mean there can't be personal redemption and opportunities for him to make restitution to the victim.
N
2
3.6
4
31
Male
i'm sure that there will be more developments, more angst, more anger, more threats, yes threats.
F
4.416667
2.166667
4.833333
31
Male
not just to brad, but to anyone who was insufficiently zealous in joining the witch hunt that ensued following his confession.
C
3.6
2.8
3.8
31
Male
i had some dimwit on facebook threaten to report me to child protective services because unless i was willing to crucify brad immediately,
A
4.5
1.666667
5.166667
31
Male
when i still wasn't sure whether or not the confession was real and not somebody hacked his facebook page,
O
3
3.2
4.2
31

that that meant that i must be some kind of pedophile or something. i don't want to emphasize that it's been
