Which out-of-state LNC members were voting delegates in Hawaii?

Aloha, LNC! 

I wanted to share my state’s outrage that a coordinated attempt to invade and overthrow my state was initiated with evidence connecting this mobilization to members of this LNC. 

That attempted overthrow of our state failed completely, thanks in large part to the Mises Caucus, (along with Chainsaw, So-to-Speak, and other caucuses), who showed up with less than 24 hours warning to help stop the brazen coup attempt from the progressivist fake-libertarian influence network which constantly thwarts our party’s every success. 

Our snap mobilization humiliated the establishment libertarians, who wanted to infect our local convention with their national drama, not content to stay on their own side of the planet. 

Our state, one of the smallest in the nation, apparently hosted the largest LP state convention in the US this year, with well over 100 delegates at the call to order, (most of whom (north of 80% were not Hawaiian, and joined less than 48 hours prior), with many expressing written intent and motive to mitigate my influence on the LNC, and “to teach Austin a lesson.”

It is clear that shady characters like Nick Sawark were active in assisting and whipping for the invasion of the Hawaii affiliate. Sitting members of the LNC assisted and enhanced these efforts, offering material support to the scheme.  

Let me make this clear: Hawaii has an absolute right to political self-determination, and we consider this blatant attack on our autonomy to be an act of war against our affiliate. 

If those responsible for organizing this are not held accountable, we will respond as necessary to defend our right to make our own political choices. 

The members of the LNC seemingly involved in this illegal invasion of Hawaii have also been involved in similar efforts in other states, including supporting people who are openly hostile to our organization and routinely commit removable offenses. 

These members of the LNC and their like minded cohorts must not be allowed to escape accountability for their cowardly, repugnant, and morally-evil conduct. 

I also would like to introduce to the LNC my new Executive Committee, elected by Hawaiian, and not your proxy fighters. 

I suggest we start some mediation, or Hawaii will be well within its rights to reciprocate against states like Wisconsin and others, where a large plurality of their compromised boards engaged in and supported the invasion of Hawaii. 

This is a violation of our principles, and Hawaii reserves the right to defend itself. 

I also submit that we are getting a preview of how Grand Rapids will go.  Those responsible should get out while they still can. 

A reckoning is coming.

So far as I know, the LNC facilitators did not personally register as delegates. 

The call for invasion was made mainly through private channels and groups. 

The only LNC delegates who did attend the convention as delegates were invited to stop the invasion.

They did not use their majority to impose their will on us and ensured matters would be decided locally, rather than based on distant LNC politics. 

They out organized the invaders by a 2-1 ratio in 24 hours. 

They are Heroes to the Hawaiian affiliate. 

This is a preview of what is coming at Grand Rapids. 

Mahalo!
