Hello fellow Goodreaders!
Everyone should have Fun&Freedom!
That's why, for a limited time, I'm offering everyone a FREE DOWNLOAD of my ebook so you can download it, read it, enjoy it and then WRITE A REVIEW of it!
Just go to my Selected Salvos 2 book page and hit the "Read Book" button.
(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)
Or if that doesn't work for you follow this link offsite to download the full PDF.
(http://selectedsalvos.blogspot.com)
BUT only if you promise to write and post a review (good or bad but honest) and tell me where it is!
So take a break from the brain-draining strain of philosophizing, hypothesizing, theorizing, conjecturizing, politicalizing and polemicizing about libertarianism and freedom in general to read and laugh and post a review for me.
It's short (approx 74 pages), contains 20 articles (approx 750 words each) and all are written in a style that proclaims everyone should have a healthy dose of FUN along with their FREEDOM.
I posted my first book here a year ago and then got sidetracted, detracted, subtracted and otherwise distracted by other things.
Now, in Selected Salvos 2 from the Loose Cannon Libertarian my meme is "Playboynomics," defined herein as the practice of the political classes funneling taxpayer pelf to their academic cronies so they can "analyze" Playboy Playmates and "research" female orgasms in the name of "economic studies."
Download 'em, read 'em, review 'em, enjoy 'em!

Book Review: Selected Salvos 2
(http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/?p=7055)
By Garry Reed, The Loose Cannon Libertarian
Garry Reed has been a friend for many years. We’ve talked a lot about most aspects of freedom and politics, not always in agreement by a long shot, but I was always pleased to see that he would er on the side of individual sovereignty, even when he didn’t immediately embrace the full extent of the potential because pragmatism kept getting in the way.
Gradually, with interesting back and fill at times, he came to understand that electoral politics could not even be justified by any kind of pragmatism. Slavery, by any name, is still slavery. And theft is still theft, no matter how many people want to justify theft.
Garry has collected articles from the last fifteen years or so into two small volumes. They describe the journey from Libertarian political apologist, to the voluntarist he has become. Unlike so many, this journey is taken with wit, much terrific insight into humanity, and an unbelievable number of plain old belly laughs. And he paints even his sometimes painful transition with humor and good cheer.
If you have also made this journey, or are even wondering about it, these books will do you much good, and will serve as a springboard, perhaps, to conversation with friends who remain stuck in pragmatism, or actually still believe that there is some magic about electoral politics that can “restore” freedom in America.
Show them it just isn’t so.

Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles
Synopsis of my important new book:
From age 77 until he turned 80 veteran rights activist Julian Heicklen was confronted, harassed, attacked, arrested and jailed by the very law enforcers and justice officials charged with protecting his rights. On more than one occasion he was injected with dangerous antipsychotic drugs, all because he refused to be complicit in his own illegal arrests.
His "crime" was giving jury rights pamphlets to fellow American citizens who voluntarily chose to accept them while both were standing peacefully on public sidewalks in front of America's public courthouses.
Over the years he was joined by a thousand-strong group of supporters who came to be known as Tyranny Fighters, freedom-loving men and women who assisted him in whatever capacity they could; helping distribute brochures, video recording, photographing, witnessing, reporting, publicizing, interviewing, advocating and aiding in his legal battles.
Many of these Tyranny Fighters themselves became victims of the establishment's confrontations, threats, harassments, attacks, arrests and prosecutions.
In my own role as a Tyranny Fighter I served as a reporter, writer, opinionizer, publicist and advocate with my online column The Libertarian News Examiner. From the beginning of Julian's activism and the rise of the Tyranny Fighters I wrote and posted some 70 news and commentary articles in their support.
Now I've collected it all in a single volume under the title Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles. All of the original articles are here, amplified with additional introductory notes and by never before published background material from activist emails, and further supplemented with reader comments, social media commentaries and mainstream news sources.
The book tells the story as it happened, from beginning to end, article by article, dateline by dateline, blow by blow, the setbacks and successes and even the infighting, the coming together of the libertarian community in overwhelming support of the jailed activists with demonstrations and protests and marches and call floods and freedom pages on social media sites.
More than just a riveting chronicle of real world conflict and confrontation in the name of freedom this book celebrates the courage and inspiration of Julian Heicklen and applauds the contributions of all those who proudly took up the mantle of Tyranny Fighter.

Meet Julian Heicklen – Tyranny Fighter
If you're not familiar with Julian Heicklen, the original "Tyranny Fighter," I've posted one of his earliest known video interviews on the Tyranny Fighters Blogspot. This was recorded by a supporter called "bile" on September 11, 2009 during Julian's fourth trip to the federal courthouse in Manhattan where he was once again illegally prevented from distributing Fully Informed Jury Association pamphlets to citizens on public property.
Find out more about Julian, the Tyranny Fighters, and the book that chronicles their story in over 70 "as-it-happened" news articles as their stories unfolded.
