Who are the Neo-Swashbucklers?

The Neo-Swashbucklers are a group that was founded in 2002 for the purpose of stealing the tallship Elissa from the Galveston Seaport Museum in Galveston, Texas following the collapse of western civilization. The Neo-Swashbucklers developed as a Yahoo Group and has attracted survivalists, libertarians, heavy drinkers, trouble makers, edible plant enthusiasts, people who believe the long bow is a valuable asset, sailors, liveaboard wannabes, political junkies, cutlass owners, space enthusiasts, people who listen to coast-to-coast AM and outdoor adventurers.

Our natural enemies include big government liberals (socialist zombies), social conservatives, right wing militarists (fascists), moderates/centrists, coyotes (cat eaters), the US Coast Guard and mosquitoes. We have also been plagued for the last three years by a band of unhappy trolls who formed for the purpose of opposing and annoying us. All of our enemies will eventually feel the heat of the cold cutlass steel.

Our topics are generally about fighting for freedom or fleeing from tyranny.

We have adopted many piratical customs and fashions, but we also believe that the pith helmet will return to the top of the fashion world soon and we are often seen wearing pith helmets.

We are frequently accused of being a dangerous cult. We do not deny this charge, but we point out that we have no membership fees, offer free movie reviews and are not biased against individuals who release invasive animals or plants into existing ecosystems.

We are always on the lookout for new recruits and, for those who are shy about joining dangerous cults; we also just seek people who will join our discussions. Our expansion campaign includes plans to begin blogtalkradio broadcasts within the week and pressing into service people who have participated in the campaigns of Ron Paul and Barack Obama.

I am proud to call myself a Neo-Swashbuckler! And I await the call for action.
