News broadcaster Ghost is back with all of you to introduce you to all the fun an anarchist, free society can bring. With us is former US congressman Ron Paul, our King Domination I, corporate CEO Bill Gates XXVII, and a Sunni Islamic Imam who has chosen to take the pseudonym "3000" for this interview.
(Any orders in the interview will be bolded in red.)
Ghost: Welcome to the Writer 16 show, your most reliable news network in this free land chosen by your free markets. We are glad to have our national spokesperson, former Representative Ron Paul, King Domination I, "3,000", and our very own great great great great great great great great great..."
Bill Gates XXVII: I'm the twenty seventh generation of the self-made CEO from last millennium, OK? You don't need to go off saying twenty seven "Greats."
Ghost: Well, its actually twenty five, but your right, we're boring our audience, and in a free market economy, unlike some other lame countries where the state subsidizes certain news networks and then they succeed in spite of being boring... But we won't get too far into that. First, we are going to interview former United States congressman Ron Paul.
Ron Paul: People prefer the term "Empire" these days, or has that gone out of style?
Ghost: Yes you see, Ron is still adjusting to the thirty-first century, yes, Ron, its the United States of America now. You see, they did finally hit an isolationist period and started listening to what you had said, sometime in the twenty-third century just before the whole thing collapsed.
Ron: And it collapsed anyway?
Ghost: Yeah, of course, Ron, you, you'd still be there, and you'd be President. But I'm sure your more than happy with your new role as Somalian spokesperson.
Ron: Of course. Its a wonderful position, and I finally live in the free society I fought so hard to create.
Ghost: OK, so Ron, you are the chief representative for Somalia abroad, well, other than the King himself, of course, so what is your message to the foreign powers that are listening in.
Ron: Well, you see, I always advocated a policy of being friendly with all while allying with none, kind of like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson did thirteen hundred years ago. So I am thus pleased to announce that the King and I talked it over and have decided that the royal house has decided to
offer Trade agreements with all nations in the African, Middle Eastern, and southern Mediterranean area. We would demand only, in return that all accepting nations are willing to respect our free, open trading policy, and would not interfere with our neutrality or our trade with nations that they may not like.
Ghost: Well, thank you Ron, let's hope the foreign powers got your message, its time for King Domination I who has come here in his royal robes and flew all his servants out here in order to grace his people with his precense.
Domination I: Of course, its my pleasure.
Ghost: Well, Dommy, what are your plans to develop this free state.
Domination I: Well, first of all, foreign powers should know that my name is kind of a misnomer, I was named after an old joke from last millennium, based off some forum user that nobody cares about in this century, or something, but I'm really quite peaceful at heart. I don't want violence with anybody.
Ghost: Of course not. So what are your plans for national defense? That is your job, isn't it?
King Domination I: Yes, of course. And to do that, I have managed to
Recruit 2 armies who have decided they liked the rates of pay the King was offering, and they have agreed to
Send messages of freedom to the people of Yemen (Colonize them) in hopes that the tribal people there will be willing to join their tribes to ours.
Ghost: That sounds imperialist.
King Domination: It would sound that way to you, until you understand how free society works.
Ghost: Oh?
King Domination: We're sending our armies to recruit, not to use violence. We don't believe in war. But those that don't understand the difference would claim that Somalia is imperialistically attacking the Yemeni people. We aren't. We are bringing civilized anarchy to tribes that are currently in uncivilized anarchy.
Ghost: Well, thank you, Your Majesty.
Ron Paul: Just a reminder that the Israelites were WARNED against having a King.
King Domination I: Hey! Ron, I thought we were on the same team!
Ron Paul: I jest, of course.
Ghost: Well, its about enough of that, its time to take to Bill Gates the great great...
Bill GatesXXVII: Can you please cut that out!
Ghost: Yes, of course we can. We don't need twenty seven "Greats" after all.
Bill- Last time you said twenty five
Ghost: OK, let's move on. What's your plan to stimulate the economy?
Bill: Well, I intend to
Invest the rest of our funds we have available in economic tech in order to stimulate the economy and make the anarcho-capitalist Somalia the very wealthiest amongst the nations, as well as the freest.
Ghost: Sounds logical. So, what does Mr. "3000" have to say to us.
Imam- Well, I just wanted to let you guys know that Sharia Law works very differently here than it has in Islamic Theocracies in the past.
Ghost: Is it compatable with the freedom principles of Somalia? And can you demonstrate why or why not?
Imam: Of course it is. Take Dr. Paul here. He's a Christian.
Ron Paul: And a baptist at that. Don't forget it like all of the Evangelical voters did in 2012 when they voted for Mormons and Catholics instead of me just because I supported freedom.
Imam: Point taken. You see, he's a Christian, associated with the Baptist Church. Thus, we do not compel him to attend the mosque, even when he crosses into the Muslim zone by invitation. Only Muslims are made to follow Sharia, and only because they agree to be bound by those courts.
Ghost: So, that's essentially how all law works here, isn't it?
Imam: In essence. All law is voluntary. Of course, if you accept no restrictions, you more or less become an outlaw anywhere outside of your own home. However, you can usually have a broad say in what sorts of restrictions on your behavior you are willing to accept for the common good, and then you make voluntary agreements with those around you.
Ghost: Can you explain how the outlaw thing works?
Imam: Its not really my area of expertise, I've dealt with it only when it came to Muslims who unrepentantly transgressed Sharia Law without revoking it. Dr. Paul or King Domination I may be able to explain this process.
Ron Paul: Not me, I'm new to this whole "free society" showbiz. I supported it all my life but have never lived in one.
King Domination I: Allow me to explain. Essentially, an "Outlaw" is someone who refuses to make agreements with other people when entering their property. He can be killed, much like a tresspasser, with no legal penalty.
Ghost: Do you consider that barbaric?
King Domination I: Not at all. People voluntarily accept my authority over foreign policy matters due to my expertize. Yet a few people don't. The essence of a free society is that I cannot intrude on their freedom to enjoy their own freedom on their property. That's a form of theft. Outlawry is when you tresspass and thus you aren't protected in your anti-propertarian activity. Outlawry is justice.
Ghost: Very interesting, well, we're about out of time for today, but remember, we are
Building two armies and colonizing Yemen and spending the rest of our money on economic tech. Farewell, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
