Next month marks the 20th annual Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, New Hampshire. 

This event was in no small part what inspired me to move to the Granite State more than a decade ago. 

Hosted by an outfit calling itself the Free State Project, it has been in precipitous decline since my expulsion nine years ago. It used to be a Ron Paul fan club of sorts, but not so much these days.

Vices were indulged. I myself partook, but the event was by no means centered around this. Most political events I've attended serve alcohol, and it just so happened that this one also had a great deal of marijuana and mushrooms and that sort of thing. It was not made hostile to families by this, the libertarians I knew then understood that with freedom comes responsibility and that to corrupt children was no way to get along with one's neighbors.

Gays were of course tolerated, and treated with the same respect as everyone else. Perhaps just slightly more, since they did have one event during the week specifically geared toward them. Titled "Buzz's Big Gay Dance Party" the eponymous event was conjured from the mind of a lesbian calling herself  J Buzz Webb, and at the time nothing foreshaodwed the bitter enmity that would later emerge between us. 

I had struck up a conversation with a pretty girl who was no lesbian, and we got quite friendly. She asked me to come with her to the big gay dance party and I adamantly refused. "I'm not gay" I told her. "Are you?". She assured me she was not, in more ways than one. But it was sort of deemed that this was expected of me. That by refusing to go, I was somehow expressing disapproval, and as it turned out, I was, which I did not think to be such a big deal. Live and let live, seemed to me the libertarian way. You go have your big gay dance party over there, and I'll keep on doing my hetero thing over here with the pretty girl. 

Not such a big deal at the time. But I did meet some social disapproval, and while I thought this curious, I didn't much care. 

Later years would come to feature panels on polyamory, a degenerate sex cult which only thinly disguised its contempt for the family. "Ethical non-monogamy" they like to call it, or "Consensual non-monogamy" or ENM or CNM, all the jargon that make up the indicia of a cult. It's a form of statism to demand your partner be faithful to you, they say. Freedom is the freedom to penetrate and be penetrated without consequence. Birth control has in the snap of the fingers abolished all the human drives and realities that once came with the burden of pregnancy, which is now seen as a harmful side effect of failing to take one's medication. It might go without saying that gender, being an oppressive social construct, in their view, had to be abolished along with the State, and inevitably, this leads to transgenderism.

I was informed not long ago that this year's Porcupine Freedom Festival would feature one or more of the much talked about "Drag Queen Story Hour" events which have caused so much trouble in recent years. That inspired today's theme. I went to check the event schedule, and hadn't spotted anything officially sponsored, but if I was sexually grooming children I might make some effort to disguise the activity myself. 

PorcFest still markets itself as "Family Friendly" you see. It's right there on the front page of the site. You wouldn't want the parents who buy the tickets for that beautiful White child in the image to think she'd be told to sterilize herself and cut off her breasts once they arrive, so you would have to keep this sort of thing under wraps.

Not that they have been sworn to secrecy. 

A woman calling herself Bonnie Freeman, who purports to be married to a friend of mine, announced on Twitter that "Also you might not want to go to Porcfest because a ton of us are planning kid-friendly drag shows on our spots."

The Tweet was in reply to another Tweet, from an account that is now suspended from Twitter, because that's what happens when you come up against the lobby of the Rainbow Mafia. Freedom of speech today includes sexually grooming children, but not criticism of this behavior, even under the tutelage of Elon Musk. 

The good news is, Mrs. Freeman's announcement met near unanimous hostility from the ensuing comments. 

I should emphasise the near part... 

Dennis Pratt was a notable exception. he is prominently featured throughout the event's schedule on the website and describes himself as "designer (and Chef de Village) of our most recent (and most successful!) versions of PorcFest."

He states, in relevant part, "This year some folks are "very concerned" because there might be - somewhere on the 116 acres of PorcFest - some guy dressed in drag reading Tuttle Twins to a small group of kids (whose parents consent btw.)"

Mr. Pratt assures us that nothing of the sort is on the schedule, yet, but if one were to be announced, "it would be dutifully included in the Schedule - along with hundreds of other attendee-created events."

And if you don't like that, Mr. Pratt has some advice for you... "If the idea that someone somewhere within a mile radius of you might be doing something that you personally don't like, PorcFest is just not the festival for you."

My guest this evening, disagrees. 

He calls himself "N of 1" and he is the founder of something called "Liberty+". 

I stumbled across it browsing the PorcFest schedule, and he'll be hosting a talk titled Good Night Alt-Right and Hello Liberty+!

You might guess an event titled "Good Night Alt Right" with an alternative reminiscent of Atheism+, this would be the perpetrators of many a drag queen story hour, but my investigation turned up a decidedly different result. 

Intrigued I reached out to the website operators, and the founder graciously accepted my invitation. I expect this to be an intruiguing discussion, and I do hope you'll join us for the live show at 9:30pm US Eastern time.
