Why Libertarians Are The Best Choice for Breaking the Two-Party System / Assorted Candidates Illinois
Meeting # 3,578 - Justin Tucker, who says:
"Democrats and Republicans put legal obstacles in place that new parties and independent candidates must overcome in order to be a choice to the ballot. Of the new parties, the Libertarian Party is in the best position to breaking the current two-party structure. In this presentation, Justin Tucker will explain why that is, and will also give a history of the Libertarian Party, describe its platform, inform the voting public about local LP candidates that will be on the ballot in November 2020."
This presentation will be dedicated to the memory of Garrett Foster, 28, who died in a shooting at a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin, Texas, on Saturday night, July 25. He was a Libertarian military veteran.

Chicago Police / State of Illinois v. Smollett:
What if Jussie Smollett is Telling the Truth? Examining the Physical Evidence
Meeting # 5, 577 - Joseph W. Kopsik
The presenter, Joe Kopsick, will entertain the possibility that Jussie Smollett did not pay the Osundairo brothers to attack him, and did not fabricate his police report.
The presenter, an independent researcher and blogger, will explain why he believes the following: "The only evidence pointing to Smollett's guilt, are statements written by the police which are unsubstantiated, because they do not line up with the verbal testimony of either the Osundairo brothers or Smollett, nor with what the physical evidence suggests."
"I want to turn America into one giant Switzerland – armed and neutral"
