Maybe Rand could do something?

Couldn't hurt to ask him.

Do we have anybody left around that could reach out to him?

@Bryan talks with him sometimes.

Let's hope he checks in.

Anybody that I knew that was in the loop are all long gone from here.

Does anyone here have contact with Massie or Mike Lee?

Or Amash?

I thought he wanted to get away from government.

Is there any truth to the government claims the distance from the shore being only 12NM?

Had he been 30 NM it would not have mattered. It would be one larger country against a tiny pillar off their coast. The law is in favor of the prosecutor.

Calling Massie's office first thing Monday morning!

This is crazy

They cant just leave us alone

Thanks.

Thanks.

This is not an "I toldja so", I wish Elwar nothing but the best. BUT:

Isn't this type of reaction exactly what you predicted would befall all these seasteading ideas?

Yes...by the numbers

[Anti Globalist]

Hope everything works out ok for them.

You can't, they won't let you and it requires one of your own to successfully fight them.

What about Peter Thiel?

I mean I know no one here has his ear but isn't this kind of his baby?

Best of luck to Elwar .

Have they renounced US citizenship? If they haven't then the US embassy would be who they need to contact.


No offense, but when someone goes off and does something like this, what do they expect? Unless they are trying to become martyrs and bring attention to the fact that governments are evil and aggressive, it was a foregone conclusion that a government would pursue them.

I believe he is a US citizen, not 100% sure, and I think she has Thai citizenship.

So Thai immigration law can come with a death penalty? Didn't know that.

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

This is the issue with seastedding. As impractical as it is, it's actually a decent idea. But then some corrupt government full of ladyboy $#@!ers comes along and says some tiny structure is somehow a threat to sovereignty, in waters they don't own. This is why it won't work. Very sad and I hope he escapes somehow.

Suppose for a minute that Seasteading became very popular and millions of people set up their Seastead 12NM off the coast of Thailand. Would that have an adverse effect on Thailand?

Yeah, probably.

I say we send in @oyarde.

There are some here who support shooting people suspected of illegally crossing a border on site without a trial.

Indeed, which is why I do not hang around here so much anymore. The STATISTS, no matter what their screen name is or how they try to sell it have nothing to do with this sites mission, freedom and liberty. They are jack-booted thugs no different than the Fed, LEO and NWO.

Most of the liberty folks I know have fled this forum some time ago with only a few of us left.

Wouldn't you prefer to fight them over there instead of over here?

Thailand's navy has said the pair are threatening the country's sovereignty. "By claiming they own a floating house and using social media tried to sell this kind of house, also they claimed that their house is not under any country's sovereignty, which is not true. And this could cause other people to misunderstand and it is threatening our national security," said Colonel Kataporn Kumthieng, the chief of Phuket's Immigration office.

Is the threat of death penalty the official position of the Thai government, or just some Colonel in an immigration office?
