Kirkpatrick Sale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirkpatrick Sale is an author, technology critic, self-proclaimed neo-luddite [1]) and tax resister.
In 1995, Sale made a public bet with Kevin Kelly that by the year 2020 there would be a convergence of three disasters: global currency collapse, significant warfare between rich and poor, and environmental disasters of some significant size. The bet was turned into a claim on the FX prediction market, where the probability has hovered around 25%.
In 2004 Sale, working with members of the Second Vermont Republic, formed Middlebury Institute for the study of separatism,secession, and self-determination. Sale is the Director of the institute. In 2006 Middlebury sponsored the First North American Secessionist Convention which attracted 40 participants from 16 secessionist organizations and was described as the first gathering of secessionists since the Civil War. Delegates issued a statement of principles of secession which they presented as The Burlington Declaration.
