We must, at all costs, establish thriving, powerful colonies on Mars and beyond, so that the world conquerors in our nation have something to conquer once they have formally conquered all of this world.

I always find interviews with Buppert extremely fascinating, but also incredibly frustrating.  He has this great clarity of philosophy... and then we find out he's a merc?  Now, being a mercenary doesn't necessarily go against the non-aggression principle.  But he's a merc for NATO?  I cannot understand how Ernest fails to ask the one burning question every peace-promoting anarchist listening to the show must have in their hearts: How does Buppert justify his line of work?  He's clearly thought it through, being a rational zero-gov guy... or has he?  Does money trump ethics?  Or did he discover a way to 'support' the effort of gangsters and occupiers without really supporting them?  That is a story worth telling.  Until I hear it, I will be an interested listener, but I hesitate to send money his way as much as I'd love to buy his books.  Come on, Ernie!  Ask him!
