Meet Eric Broshik, Executive Director of the Free State Project project. Those of you who read Great book “The Libertarian goes into a bear,” the journalist Matthew Hongolz-Hetling can recognize the nonsense group that they tried (and it was not possible to turn New Hampshire into Libertarian utopia.
This is a new concert for brakes He moved there At the end of the last year after working in the Legislative Authority of the state of Maine. He also conducted the Bezbudny campaign of 2018 against the independent Senator Angus King, who gathers with the Democrats, pulling out a ridiculous 35% of the vote As a candidate from the Republicans.
Ahead of the election day last year, he Twisted“If today Trump wins in one voice today, you will be glad that I moved and announced my first residence in NH.”
Trump did not win New Gampshire, but inhibiting the president he wanted, who made his recent experience even more ironic.
On Sunday, returning to Florida from the cruise of the Royal Caribbean basin, he Published on X That he was detained by the border patrol for an hour and a half, while the agents pulled out his luggage, confiscated his phone and computer and even read his personal magazine. When he asked what rights he had as a US citizen, he was allegedly told that agents did not need an order to search for something in his possession, even his electronics.
Bookpiece said that he had to explain in detail that the draft of a free state is a “non -violent, peaceful libertarian movement” and that his activism “protect the guard” was not part of a militia or the plot of an uprising. In the end, they let him go, he said, but he was “shocked and shocked.”
And he must be. For federal agents there is no justification to skip private magazines and a citizen without justice or warrant.

They were convinced that the candidate from the Democratic Party Kamal Harris was a real threat to freedom -because she once pursued in court either because she spoke about the rules of public health, or because they assumed that she would be in her spirit in her crypto -boots or something in this kind. Somehow, they decided that the functioning government applying the basic laws is tyranny, but the person who boasted the weapons of the Ministry of Justice was professional. They took responsibility for oppression, autocracy for freedom – provided that the boots were not in their Shakes.
The same people who mocked the alleged liberal hysteria from the creeping fascism, helped to expand the possibilities of the movement that worships uncontrolled executive power – so while it is aimed at “right” people.
Given his experience with the border patrol, maybe inhibiting, finally, he understands what we meant when we said that America Trump would not stop with immigrants or liberals. Fascism always ends from the “others” in the end – and when he happens, he also comes to his believers.
