Keep a balanced news diet with Ground News No one has time to read all the news. Ground News identifies bias and factuality. Of course, you still have to do your part and make your own decisions, but Ground News puts it all together.

Marxists use linguistic tricks. “Communists share your vocabulary but they don’t share your dictionary” is a common way of putting it. One of the dirtiest of those tricks is on the word “people.” Whether it’s in establishing “Democratic People’s Republics” or championing “the people’s movement,” Communists are always subtly telling us that the only people they count as people are Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this history and usage and ties it to a present-day example that, on the surface, looks funny but turns out to show an ugly hand. Join him to learn more!
The week in media is a list of news & links curated by LPO Member Lars Jefferson.
It’s that time of year. We are all tired, weary and just want to be with family and friends. Unfortunately, the powers that be use this time to dump a lot of stuff in the media while no one is watching. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy New Year and be ungovernable.

Did you know you can keep money out of the hands of the state government by making a donation to the Libertarian Party of Oregon? It’s not just tax deductible, it’s a straight up credit of $50 for single filers and $100 for those filing jointly for household incomes of no more than $75,000/150,000 respectively. (More info: https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_316.102)
We have big plans for our upcoming State convention this May and we are working on getting events planned and systems put in place for a very exciting presidential year in 2024…but our success in growing the party and building it’s infrastructure will largely rely on our available financial resources.
So if the Oregon state government getting LESS money and the Libertarian Party of Oregon getting MORE is a formula that appeals to you please make the maximum donation for the credit that you can to help us grow the Libertarian Party throughout the state.
If you are a donor that is interested in making a donation larger than the amount necessary to receive the credit, and would like to know more about the LPO beforehand, please reach out to our Vice Chair via email: will.hobson@lporegon.org . If time permits, a call can be scheduled to go into further detail for interested donors.
Next week we will be sending out our LPO Yearly Wrap up to go over what we accomplished in 2022 and to talk about what we plan to do in 2023.
Thank you so much to all past, present and future donors. We are forever appreciative of your support. Happy Holidays and Stay Free!

This is the second installment of the LP Oregon’s Week in Media by contributor Lars Jefferson.
Mr. Jefferson is kind enough to compile for us, the Libertarian Party of Oregon interesting, absurd, and relevant news and notes from near us in Oregon and “further” away. Thank you, Lars!

What IS Ye doing? He walked out of Timcast Episode, then said something racist with Alex Jones. Is he torching his brand to make his name worthless? Is this something to get Woke leftists and KKK in the same group? Is this some kind of 4D Chess or Performance Art?
In a world of War Pigs, Take off the blindfold. Be the girl in red.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
The leftists we call woke have corrupted and continue to destroy society. A small percentage ACTUALLY knows where this comes from. The vanguard is usually college-educated people in your company’s HR department, but many educated in our system now believe nonsense. There is also an army of “useful idiots” who have been immersed in the culture of oppression Olympics, racist, sexist, phobias, and whatever the current thing is. Learn to spot it and get out of this cultural phenomenon.
James Lindsay has done the reading so you don’t have to. If you want to get into the weeds of what’s going on, check out New Discourses.
What is SEL? Social Emotional Learning is covered here in this episode on Disaffected.
Today Richard Burke along with Annie Kallen, represented the Libertarian Party of Oregon at the annual “Democracy in Action” event hosted by Central Catholic High School in Portland Oregon. At this event, various public officials, political parties, and political organizations set up displays while students arrive and ask questions.
At this year’s event, the Libertarian Party’s table was one of the most popular with crowds asking questions and listening to answers throughout the event. Over the last ten years, the Libertarian Party of Oregon has been a fixture of this event.
To help demonstrate what is unique about the Libertarian Party of Oregon, we employed the well known quiz along with the nolan chart as is available from the Advocates for Self Government. In the attached photo, Richard Burke and Annie are shown second and third from the left.
On September 21st, 2022 the Libertarian Party of Oregon Board appointed the Public Policy Board after a review of applications called for on August 19th, 2022.
We had more applications than seats on the board. We are proud to have a range of experiences including two office holders, and lifetime members of the Libertarian Party. They will be led by Travis West, the LP Public Policy Board Chair who was selected by his fellow Public Policy Board members.
Our next LP Oregon convention the Public Policy board will be open for election.
