About paulie cannoli
I was born in the former USSR in 1972 and the USA is reminding me more of the country my parents took me out of every day. Growing up in the epicenter of the 1980s crack cocaine explosion in NYC, I got caught up in the available business ventures and saw some of my friends die, and then became an activist against the drug war. Through my involvement in the drug peace movement, and college studies in free market environmentalism, I became interested in libertarianism, and abandoned the Democrats after they picked the military-industrial-corporate-statist DLCer, and drug warrior hypocrite, Bill Clinton as their nominee in 1992, thus finally disproving the idea that 60s radicals were merely infiltrating the establishment in order to change it.
I became an LP member in 1995 and a life member in 2000, and was on the executive committee of the Alabama LP in 1998. Since 1998, I have traveled the country as a professional activist.
Between that and my earlier travels in the import-export business as a teenager, I have been to 49 US states and about 20 countries, and lived in a number of them. As a life long entrepreneur, I have also started hundreds of businesses in a wide variety of fields.
I am currently working on the Steve Kubby for President campaign, am one of the organizers of the LP Radical Caucus, am an advisory board member of Liberty Consulting, and am working to start a new national College Libertarian Organizing Committee.
What’s up with the nickname?
Oh yeah, and just for the hell of it A message for the haters…
Incriminating evidence:
Oh crap! The Russian IRS finally catches up to Paulie
I know Michelle from the now defunct Hammer of Truth blog. We met in person in Dallas last summer and went to Doug Stanhope’s show with a couple of her other friends that I know from the blogs.
Last month I started blogging at Crazy for Liberty. We are also looking for some new people to write there, as well as at Last Free Voice.
In case Last Free Voice goes down we are getting everything backed up at the old Last Free Voice WordPress.
We need more guests for the Steve Kubby Show. Comment if you are interested.
I am trying to make Cannoli WordPress more of a group blog. ElfNinosMom blogs there too now, and Michelle signed up to write there, but has only done so a couple of times at my prompting.
If anyone wants to write at Cannoli WordPress, Last Free Voice or Crazy for Liberty, let me know in the comments.
Thank you, Paulie for creating this page. I was just speaking to a friend about you. I was speaking in a haphazard way about you, your Russian background, and offered (without your ok) your translation ability for a certain B. opportunity.
XOXO,
Miche
I might be able to help. However, I can’t translate into proper written Russian.
This friend needs the spoken word and not written contracts. ;o)
That works. Put me in touch.
