James P. Hogan - Libertarian
Advocates for Self-Government
"Mix together hard science, inventive plots, and a strong libertarian message, and what do you get? Libertarian science fiction writer James Patrick Hogan. ... Mirror Maze, a 1989 novel of speculative political fiction ... reflects one of Hogan's more libertarian observations: 'The really big-time crooks don't break laws. They make them.'"

Writings
Electricity Powers the Universe, 30 Jul 2008
Presents the Electric Universe theory as a more plausible explanation than gravity and black holes
"... electrical theorists have developed an alternative paradigm for interpreting astronomical observations, based on principles that are well understood and can be demonstrated in any electrical or plasma laboratory. It requires none of the esoteric physics or ad-hoc inventions that the mainstream has had to resort to repeatedly when new observations failed to match expectations, or were never anticipated at all, and it is proving to be more powerful predictively.
