MONEY BOMB: Buy Islands, Create New Country, And Elect Ron Paul

[gracebkr]

I am so down with this idea. Lets buy a fucking Island, and have RP as our leader. Ban religion in our constitution itself. Mandatory voting for everyone above 18. Libertarian education, no fucking complicated judicial laws, and right to challenge the authority (even the pres). I can't live with such dumbfucks for gods sake who cant be rational, selfless and honest for once in their lives!

You had me until you banned religion. I am very religious and I will vote for Ron Paul. It is about the dumbed down masses. It is not about people's faith.

Lakota Nation!!!

Here I come. I'm sure they would be willing to sell us some land in Nebraska to settle on.
In case you missed it, they declared independence from the US in December.

if they legalize hemp/marijuana i'm down.

and they welcomed who ever wanted to join them also.....i have a bit of indian blood in me i have to say......

I'm seriously willing to move to Lakota Nation and surrender my citizenship should Ron Paul not be the next president.
If we could drive half the campaign money raised into developing a DrRonPaul Tribal society in a tax free country, we could have a stronger economy than the US in no time.

First let me say I have wanted to do this since before I knew Ron Paul.

Second let me say it's not really possible due to 2 reasons.

1. All Islands are part of some country, and the country that owns a Island will normally only let you lease or rent it, only a few country's let you "lease for life" like Fiji.

2. There is more to starting your own country than getting a Island and saying "i'm my own country". You have to get all the countries to accept that you are your own country.

If someone TRULY wants to do this I will be willing to contribute, but we will have to get the money to "make a island" either a floating one (like a boat) which is looking into being done by a few companies, or Island made of sand and rocks that is compacted so that you can build on it. Both are VERY expensive, but I bet for 20 Million we could get a better "floating island ship" but last I heard they were only down to 10,000 a square foot which is only 2000 square feet (not much).

I posted this on dailypaul earlier as a joke..

Pykrete is a composite material made of approximately 14% sawdust and 86% water by weight then frozen. It has some interesting properties, notably its relatively slow melting rate due to low thermal conductivity, and its vastly improved strength and toughness over pure ice, actually closer to concrete, while still being able to float on water.

The plan is to build a massive floating iceberg of Pykrete with refrigeration piping to keep it frozen like the design of the WWII aircraft carrier the Habakkuk and build our own country free from central banks, war, and taxes.

Aright so I was watching the history channel and I think its awesome. lol

Uhm, you do know that if you 'banned religion' then you would make Ron Paul himself a criminal, right?

Banning religion is a dumb idea, but us banding together, declaring our independence, and forming our own nation based upon the Constitution is a great idea.

If only this were a reality.

I'd like tht idea if it were possible -- although your plan and my plan may be compatible. I'm looking very hard at the Free State Wyoming group, which has a stronghold in the North East corner of Wyoming.

The only thing that gave me pause about FSW is...how did those ostensibly libertarian minded folk saddle themselves with such an ugly ugly primary process??????

The Lakota Nation is a reality and their accepting anyone who wants to come so long as they renounce their citizenship. I'd personally prefer to be on land than floating around the ocean (visions of Kevin Costner in Waterworld). If RP does not win I can no longer support with my taxes this corrupt government, so I'll be looking for alternatives.

Look on the bright side: when the economy collapses, at least they won't be able to blame RP, and his ideals still have a chance to take hold afterwards.

We should position ourselves to both benefit from the coming crash of the US economy, and to get ready to pick up the pieces afterwards politically and economically. This can't be more than a few years off.

If 5% of the country believes strongly enough in the principles that RP stands for that they were willing to take economic action based on what we know is coming, we should easily be able to dominate the financial and political landscape when the time comes. If runaway inflation hits, people could easily lose 99% of what they own. Stock, entire companies and real estate could all be available for pennies on the dollar.

If we all stick togeather if RP isn't elected, we could work on doing this, from within America? But we would have to be backed by ALOT of people wanting this. If Ron Paul isn't elected then we will need a true Revolution to take back America, if we care about our future.

A true revolution requires the support of a majority. Otherwise, it's a quick trip to Guantanamo.

Better to beat them at their own game.

For a thread with a humorous eye-catching title it actually sounds like you've thought quite a bit about this. Wow.

I think you should all just move to California and help get taxes down here.

In this day, Yes. Thats why I said work on it, and get alot of people backing it. And I'm not saying, Get your guns.. Unless it really had to come down to that(police state). I was talking about starting our own town in an unpopulated area for starters. I just know if something REAL doesn't change, America is screwed soon.
