Subject: Seeking cosponsors for resolution: Opposing Foreign Influence, Foreign Aid, and Entangling Commitments

Seeking someone to move this resolution forward as well as several cosponsors. Thank you Mr. Chair for working with me on this resolution, I feel like we have it nailed down to something that we agree on and should be a unanimous aye vote.

Opposing Foreign Influence, Foreign Aid, and Entangling Commitments

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party holds that the government of the United States exists solely to secure the liberty, safety, and property of the American people, and has no authority to act as financier, guarantor, or enforcement arm for foreign states, foreign wars, or foreign pressure campaigns; and

WHEREAS, libertarians oppose all foreign aid, undeclared wars, entangling alliances, coercive sanctions, intelligence partnerships, and any political arrangements that convert foreign priorities into domestic American obligations; and

WHEREAS, the Constitution vests in Congress alone the power to declare war, and libertarians reject the bipartisan practice of presidential war-making on behalf of foreign interests, ideological projects, or permanent-security-state priorities; and

WHEREAS, foreign states and their domestic lobbies routinely bypass or exploit Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requirements to steer U.S. policy, creating a corrupt framework that binds American taxpayers, troops, and diplomacy to the interests of foreign governments; and

WHEREAS, the pro-Israel lobby represents the most visible and successful example of this pattern, with organizations such as AIPAC openly reporting more than $53 million in direct PAC support to 361 candidates in the 2024 cycle alone, successfully making the U.S.-Israel relationship the centerpiece of American Middle East policy, as documented by scholars John J. 

Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt; and

WHEREAS, the same mechanisms of influence operate on behalf of numerous other foreign principals, including but not limited to Israel, France, Ukraine, Georgia, Germany, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and the member states of NATO, as well as through other multilateral arrangements; and

WHEREAS, the bipartisan foreign-policy establishment has entangled the United States in multiple simultaneous geopolitical flashpoints, including the Israel-Iran conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, deepening commitments surrounding Taiwan and China, and the long-standing military standoff on the Korean peninsula, each carrying the grave risk of direct confrontation with nuclear-armed or near-peer adversaries at enormous cost in blood, treasure, debt, and the erosion of constitutional restraint; and

WHEREAS, the United States currently maintains hundreds of active Foreign Military Sales cases, many accompanied by implicit, multi-billion-dollar security commitments that further bind American policy to overseas conflicts; and

WHEREAS, these arrangements fundamentally violate the principle of strict political independence and a foreign policy of peace, commerce, and non-intervention;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee condemns the systematic redirection of American foreign policy by any foreign state or domestic lobby, and declares that no foreign government, whether Israel, Germany, Ukraine, Taiwan, France, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, the member states of NATO, or any other, has any rightful claim on the blood, treasure, debt capacity, political obedience, or military service of the American people; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee reaffirms and operationalizes the existing Libertarian Party Platform planks on personal liberty and foreign policy by calling for the immediate and complete end of all foreign aid, including military aid, economic aid, intelligence assistance, security assistance, loan guarantees, and subsidized arms transfers, to all foreign governments without exception; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for the United States to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls upon the United States Department of Justice to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act equally and without exception against all agents representing foreign principals, including persons operating within domestic political organizations on behalf of foreign governments or foreign political parties; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for legislation requiring full public disclosure of all foreign-government or foreign-principal funding to U.S. political campaigns, PACs, 501(c)(4) organizations, think tanks, congressional junkets, and influence operations, regardless of current FARA registration status; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee opposes all entangling alliances, mutual-defense commitments, undeclared security guarantees, forward war commitments, and open-ended obligations that risk dragging the American people into war with Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or any other foreign power; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for the restoration of Congress's exclusive constitutional authority to declare war, and rejects all unilateral or open-ended military action undertaken without clear congressional authorization; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee rejects the doctrine that America must serve as arsenal, paymaster, diplomatic shield, or military guarantor for the world, and instead reaffirms a foreign policy of peace, commerce, non-intervention, and strict political independence; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chair is directed to publish this resolution upon adoption.

Subject: Re: Seeking cosponsors for resolution: Opposing Foreign Influence, Foreign Aid, and Entangling Commitments

While part of my opposition to the previous FARA resolution was that it specifically targeted Israel, adding in other countries doesn't change the fact that we'd still be asking the government to get involved in free speech.

President Trump issued a memorandum last year to target organizations using the FBI's joint terrorism task force for failing to register under FARA. This included groups trying to protect Palestinian rights, which the administration was trying to force into registering.

At the time, the government wanted to target those protesting Israel. But in the future, that could easily be flipped. 

I don't trust government to keep such a list. 

Having to register on a government list to exercise free speech has a chilling effect, which many would argue is the point of FARA.

Being forced to label free speech as "coming from a foreign agent" may be viewed by some as transparency, but it's also government stigmatizing political advocacy. 

Last year, we saw the Trump administration deport green card and visa holders for exercising their free speech. Mahmoud Khalil, for instance, was targeted because of his pro-Palestine efforts, showing that the government cannot be trusted to keep a hands-off approach when it comes to speech they don't like. Expanding FARA registrations only gives the state more power.

Every tool in the government's arsenal registering or monitoring free speech is a weapon that can be used against us.

Some people avoid registering firearms, or create so-called "ghost guns" - but the Libertarian solution isn't to ask for more gun registration, it's to get government out of putting people on lists just to exercise their natural rights.

We should oppose FARA, not seek to expand it.

Some states have firearm registries. Many people evade such registrations because they don't trust government.

Should the LP condemn those evading the law, because the registrations themselves don't confiscate guns? 

Targeting those failing to register, after all, isn't an expansion but the equal application of the (unjust) law.

The LP stance isn't to have an equality of injustice, it's to not have such injustice.

We should oppose government registration lists, not seek to add to their rolls.

Bryce,

Good resolution, right principles, but it needs a hard trim before it hits the floor. Eight RESOLVED clauses is too many imo.

There are a few spots where you're saying the same thing just multiple ways. Clauses 1, 6, and 8 are all variations of "non-intervention good, entanglements bad." Clauses 4 and 5 both cover FARA/disclosure. Clause 2 (end foreign aid) and clause 3 (withdraw from NATO) are naturally one thought.

I'd consolidate to four RESOLVED clauses you can... 

Happy to support a tightened up version of this. The substance is there, it just needs to be half as long and twice as sharp.

Aloha, 

Keith, don't people have a right to know what they are voting for? 

If someone is working as an agent of a foreign government, disclosure of the fact is reasonable. If you have a problem with that, that in and of itself seems like a problem. You could go start the DAVOS party if you want to legitimize foreign governments meddling in US politics... or better — just go join the Dems/GOP. 

Also, for the record, Mr. Weir's assertion seems mistaken; the resolution doesn't seem to make redundant points. On the contrary, it favors specificity and seems responsible on its treatment of the topic. 

This is a much better resolution.

Mahalo to Mr. Chair and Mr. Thon for hammering this out.

"Keith, don't people have a right to know what they are voting for?"

People should take the time to know what they're voting for, but it's not a right.

Don't people have a RIGHT to know what's in their food? Let's cheer for the FDA!

Don't people have a RIGHT to know who pays politicians? Let's support the FEC!

Don't people have a RIGHT to know where lobbyists live? Let's call for regulations!

No - we support full freedom of expression and oppose government censorship, regulation, or control of communications media and technology.

We reject the idea that a natural right can ever impose an obligation upon others to fulfill that "right."

We may want disclosure, but I do not believe there is such a right. 

I don't trust many lobbying groups, but I also don't trust the government and I damn sure don't want to add more groups to government lists.

This is outrageous, Mr. Thompson. 

If someone is working for a foreign government to meddle in US politics, that is a problem. 

The entire basis for COINTELPRO was ostensibly to counter foreign intelligence activities targeting the US — activities that we ourselves should overwhelmingly reject because they are inconsistent with our principles. One problem, unaddressed, can lead to cascading failures. But the sales-pitch for your harmful suggestions above are much like the aforementioned poisons in our foods — subtle, deceptive, dangerous, and undermining the very purpose of ingestion. 

I am disgusted by this. 

You are greatly mistaken about what this party represents... or perhaps just greatly conflicted. Who can say? 

There is good evidence the LP itself is being targeted by subversive influence operations already — your de-facto defense of political fraud and corruption troubles me greatly, Mr. Thompson. 

This exchange only highlights the need for such a resolution.

Subject: Re: Seeking cosponsors for resolution: Opposing Foreign Influence, Foreign Aid, and Entangling Commitments

In my opinion,

Laws exposing foreign government actors are essentially laws against the government, like sunshine laws. 

Leviathan is sought to be controlled by a number of actors, including state actors. Lobbying, in many countries, is illegal. There can be free speech arguments to be made, however, when lobbying is done to plunder the nations coffers, which is funded almost entirely through extortion and inflation, then at a minimum, laws to expose these actors do seem to align with our philosophy.

I will note, that the largest part of the pro-Israeli lobby are actually American Christian Zionists, who are simply statists lobbying to use legalized plunder to shape foreign policy through a religious lens.

I will also say as an aside, that some of the largest pro-Palestinian voices are Jewish. A previous member of my FL Keys affiliate, had strong family Zionist ties in the upper echelons of Israeli society and is staunchly pro-Palestinian. Also, our entire philosophy was founded by esteemed Jewish philosophers (Murray Rothbard, Ludvig Mises, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, etc.)

The original (much longer) motion also condemned the South Korean lobby more harshly, which is the most well-funded foreign lobby, with the intention of pointing out global flashpoints like we now find ourselves in.

There is a long history of the Israeli lobby pushing the US into kinetic conflict after kinetic conflict and also taking unilateral actions in the Middle East against American interests.

The same corrupt system is abused by all matter of foreign and domestic lobby. However, at minimum, foreign lobbyists have only continued the same nihilistic military spending as we approach $40 trillion in debt, and will quite literally sacrifice the American people through blood &  treasure, and bring the whole world down with it if our government continues to be host to every entity which seeks to use the power of the state for its own interests which defy that of the individual.

I cosponsor.

Sincerely,

Steven Nekhaila
