I did not see any explanatory blurb there when I looked at your drafts yesterday or I would have published it then. In any case it’s there now and published. Thanks for these interviews. The one I am most interested in is with McKinney and Kokesh.

I looked at the Roger Ver video I posted, and I actually already had included a note with it about his past with the LP of California.
The same with the Jeff Berwick video, only his Libertarian Party involvement was in Canada (he had a short lived campaign for Prime Minister).
I thought it was already known by a lot of people that Ver is a former member of and candidate for the LP of California.
I don’t know what a lot of people do or do not know. I did not know it so IMO it should include a blurb. Better safe than sorry.
Why is the Peter Gemma posted article about co conservative PACs still up as its own articles when it has no clear connection to minor parties or independent candidates?
My thoughts on that are on that article’s discussion. You can continue that discussion there if so inclined.

@ Andy
Regarding Galt Gulch Chile, it is so complicated that I can only follow the opinion of somebody I enormously respect and was involved fully in it. Wendy McElroy, after defending Jeff for a while basically describing him as a naive but goodwilling idiot, a couple of years ago recognized that he was involved with the fraud.
What I have a more direct knowledge about is the scam of the fraudolent passports business, especially Paraguay. Many people lost money to an open fraud, among which a few I know.
Finally, I met the guy a couple of times at FreedomFest. He seemed to me like a shark looking for victims. BTW, this was before GGC and before I knew of the passport scam.

You should include that information in your articles. Add it to the draft and I will publish it.

If you watched the interview, or if you read the description on YouTube below the interview, you would know that Roger Ver is a former Libertarian Party member in California, and that he can for the California state legislature as an LP candidate.

I disagree with you about Berwick, and so do the other 1,500-1,700 (including speakers, vendors, etc…) plus people who were at Anarchapulco. Berwick has put out a lot of good stuff that has helped a lot of people. Galt’s Gulch Chile turning into a fiasco was not his fault, and he is involved in a lawsuit over this to recoup loses.
Andy has several of these video interview articles in the cue. I went ahead and published most of them but there’s one more where he interviews “Bitcoin Jesus Roger Ver.” I’m not aware of an LP angle on the interviewee. Should we publish it based on the LP creds of the interviewer? Or is there another IPR angle?

I think Jeff Berwick is a fraud. I do not listen to anything coming from him anymore. I wish other people realize the damage to tyhe movement this individual creates and stopped giving him credibility associating with him.

None of this has anything to do with this debate.
I agree with Adam over Larken in this one.
