Argentina President Javier Milei, since taking office nearly two years ago, has been one of the foreign government leaders most prominent in celebrating United States government interventions across the world, including US-aided wars of Ukraine and Israel and the US going to war against Venezuela. And earlier this month Milei secured a tens of billions of dollars bailout for his government from his chum US President Donald Trump, with the bailout only set to happen if Milei’s party came out on top in the election held on Sunday, which it did.

In a Friday message to board members of the Libertarian National Committee that oversees the United States Libertarian Party, party Chairman Steven Nekhaila wrote that “This board may very well be the last one standing between the Libertarian National Committee and full collapse.”
Last week, I wrote about how the United States Libertarian Party’s new leadership put in place by delegates at the party’s May of 2022 national convention has through the November of 2024 general election to demonstrate its success through election results. It seems that the party’s chairman has a different take.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is now a subcommittee chairman in the new Congress.

Bye-Bye, Libertarian Party Chairman
United States Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark announced at Facebook last night that he will not seek reelection as party chairman at the Libertarian Party national convention in late May.
United States Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark, as part of an effort to put in a good light the election results of the 2016 Libertarian presidential ticket, declared in a September 10 The Soho Forum debate that libertarians in America are exclusively the people registered as affiliated with the Libertarian Party. Then, on Tuesday, Sarwark wrote at Twitter that the Secretary of State of New Hampshire, where Sarwark moved last month, “does not recognize the Libertarian Party.” Sarwark further wrote: “Our city clerk whited out ‘Libertarian’ on my voter registration form and replaced it with ‘unenrolled.’”

600,000 Libertarians in America?
In a September 10 The Soho Forum debate, United States Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark declared the number of libertarians in America is “roughly 600,000” because that many people are registered as affiliated with the Libertarian Party in America. Sarwark then used this declaration of the number of libertarians in America as the basis for concluding that the party’s 2016 presidential ticket received several times the number of votes as there are libertarians in America.
Declaring that the registered Libertarians in America are synonymous with the libertarians in America is absurd.
You may recall United States Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark, in a December of 2016 interview, denouncing prominent libertarian communicator Ron Paul’s support for states’ rights. In that interview, Sarwark said Paul, who ran three times for US president including once as the Libertarian Party nominee, “had policy prescriptions that were straight-up wrong and anti-libertarian.”
Sarwark is back this week with a fresh denunciation of Paul. Writing in a Twitter thread on Monday, Sarwark insinuates that Paul is a supporter of the governments of China and Venezuela. Following that strange comment, Sarwark suggests that Paul is not opposing “Russian interference in the internal affairs of our government” because, get this, the Russian government secretly backed Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign. Sarwark even tries to back up this Russia nonsense with a preposterous Medium article that you can read here. Go ahead and read the article, for the laughs at least.
You might hope that at least the United States Libertarian Party could be counted on not to support the US government’s effort to install its chosen politician as president of Venezuela. Oh well. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Earlier this month, a “Dear Libertarian” letter from party chairman Nicholas Sarwark appeared on the Libertarian Party’s website in which Sarwark promotes viewing a video by Kyle Varner — described by Sarwark as a party member — in which Varner delivers the US government’s regime change line in regard to the South America country.
