We need our own island

Yall this island all sounds pretty good, but you know 'some people' don't like freedom. I would worry that 'someone' might attack the island in the name of fighting 'terrorism' or 'national security????
Just a thought.
 
No not attack us for a few dollars or something, attack us for allowing free ideas to spread, and proving that freedom works. that could be detrimental to 'some people' if ideas like that got out.

Which is why we'd have to hit the ground running with an armed defense force.

Could we all stick to my original thread until one of them gets pinned? We are fragmenting the ideas and the effort with these competing threads. It is titled: "We need our own state"

Plus, I am on dialup and can't monitor all these threads and keep up with all of my other daily on-line duties (I run website on dialup too...lol...)

thanks!

Most of that is just discussing why we should all join FSP in NH. This wastes a lot less time.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't support capital punishment for making unconstitutional laws, only for capital crimes, Rape someone, you get raped back... with a broom handle... murder someone, you die too... no lengthy prison terms for capital crime... you get your due process, and that's about it... If you're found guilty, you get one chance to appeal... if you're found guilty again, you go to the chair... no waiting... no news about it... it just happens.

Well I currently live on an island. I moved my family here to get away from the encroaching fascism of America. That and acclimate us to living in a tropical, jungle, third world environment. (it takes more acclimating than you'd think).

We have been looking at purchasing an island in the PI group for the last decade or so. We came close on a coupla occasions. But the deals fell through because of title issues and fear.

The fear part is from piracy more than anything. Yes there are still pirates on the oceans. They use speed boats and ak's not schooners and swords. Being on an island means you are isolated and a target.

I've yet to solve that problem but I'm working on it.


My criteria has been large enough for agriculture. Aqua-culture is my current study item. Placing fish ponds with tilapia up hill from your fields. Let the nitrogen rich "fish-water" and gravity do the hard part of farming for you.

Fresh water source (small scale hydro electric). I've actually built two of these as a test using an old generator with a water wheel and a small tractor transmission.

Mountain or very large hill. (gotta have something to hide behind when cyclones come through). Basements on islands don't work very well.

Close enough to civilization to get materials and parts. Far enough to be private.

I've been doing lots of research on alternate energy. My facility currently gets 10% of its power from solar.

We are in the beginning stages of installing 3 X 10Kw Bergey wind turbines.

I've got detailed plans on how to build bio-digesters for a methane fuel source. Easy to convert small engines to run off of methane. Most people don't know but living in a tropical environment you have ton's of vegetable waste that gathers up. You have to deal with that stuff or it becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes. They carry Dengue fever. You REALLY don't want to contract that. I know.

Who ever is keeping a list of serious persons put my name on that list.

I could offer 10+ years of on island experience in electrics/electronics/agriculture/construction. Plus I am a combat veteran with all the usual training.

I think you rival Evil Engineer as MVP in this operation.

I think we will be minor enough of a "problem" to be bothered.

We really only need one thing: a good court system that recognizes individual liberties. Once we establish the island as a total free-trade zone, the entrepreneurs will come in droves and the island will be covered in gleaming sky-scrapers within a few years. You'll be able to get your greenhouse-construction supplies at bargain tax-free prices from your choice of local dealers. Of course, you might end up reconsidering your career choice as farmer once you see how much competition you have.

I am in if we get enough people signed on. I first mentioned Boipeba on my nearby thread, and I agree it looks like one of the most promising of our options....especially if we can get a resort built and work that to pay for all of our infrastructure and ongoing basic needs like defense, sanitation projects, streets, etc....

Let PRIVATE ENTITIES do all that, Steve. Otherwise, you're setting up the same shit that you've got HERE.
