Kenson

Kenson VeConnor (December 26, 1978 - April 23, 2021) was a conspiracy theorist and politician in the United Left People's Party and former member of the Libertarian Party that generally trends right of the party line. Kenson possessed a controversial background with him calling former United States President Barack Obama, a 'fucking whore' as well as his various conspiracy theories that he discussed on his podcast Information Surfing.

Early life (1978 - 2003)
Kenson was born to a lower-class Doggish family in Doggerfundt. From an early age, Kenson took time and effort in learning Doggish and interacting with Doggish culture. During his secondary school career, he established a Doggish Language Club as well as a newspaper completely written in Doggish. The newspaper shut down after 2 editions. After secondary school, Kenson left his hometown for Kensingston University, majoring in law.

In the summer of 1999, Kenson met his wife, Elizabeth Stuart whom he took an immediate attraction to. The two began dating around August that year and in 2002 after becoming pregnant the two would marry. She would give birth to Kenson's first son, Richard VeConnor on January 2nd, 2003. That same year she was diagnosed with a brain tumor that would inevitably lead to her death in 2004. According to friends and family, Kenson took it hard and began to recreationally use various drugs and drink often this would culminate in his overdose on December 8th, 2004. Shortly after leaving the hospital Kenson attended rehab and finished his law degree.

Law and media career (2005 - 2013)
In 2005 Kenson began his law career where he was noted to be a young man with an articulate and confident stage presence. It's noted that multiple times he would be asked to leave the courtroom after accusing the judges of corruption and mishandling of the law. On July 13th, 2008, Kenson started a podcast called Information Surfing where he argued with guests about politics, discussed politics, and presented conspiracy theories to his audience. During this time, his protectionist beliefs on the Doggish language and seeming reluctance to denounce the NPD led him to be accused by Dutch newspapers of 'supporting anti-Calvinist terrorism'. Kenson has denied these claims. More controversy would be stirred up by the media project when in 2012 Kenson referred to former U.S. President Barak Obama as a 'lying fucking whore'. When asked by Kensingston Press if he would apologize for his statements Kenson replied, 'I'll refute if he stops bombing children'.

By 2010, Internet Surfing became Kenson's full-time career as well as occasionally writing for various magazines and newspaper companies in Doggerland.

Kenson ended Information Surfing in 2013 citing his move back to his hometown, Doggerfundt and the birth of his second child.

Controversy on joining the ULPP
After the resignation of Kevin Trevor, Kenson crossed the floor and sat with the ULPP members, a shock to all in Doggerland. Some in the Libertarian party viewed it as a betrayal but both he and MapDude consistently refuted any wonders that there was bad blood between them. Almost immediately Kenson began campaigning for the leadership election where he would win the nominations of PrisonMike, leader of the Civic Union and the former Prime Minister, Mel. Those in the ULPP referred to him as a power-hungry opportunist yet he denied these claims and came second place in the race, losing to Ayvind Bjarnason.

Rise in the ULPP
After losing the ULPP leadership election Kenson would win a place in Prime Minister's Mel cabinet as Home Secretary, where he would write the Unchained Act which would then pass in parliament. This alongside his populist campaigning would result in the ULPP's opinion of him to change and he would subsequently win the Deputy Leader election in a landslide.

After the February elections, Kenson would fight to change confrontational attitudes within the ULPP towards other parties. Throughout this, he'd play a key role in formal opposition discussions with the Communist Party and IDP, as well as the short-lived Greens. This would result in a nationwide and party-wide poll which found that Kenson was significantly more popular than Ayvind and as a result, Ayvind stepped down to Deputy Leader and Kenson to leadership subsequently making him the most successful libertarian (or former libertarian) in the world.

Policies
Kenson labels himself as a libertarian market socialist and has behaved as such strongly defending gun rights, supporting police reform, and enacting typical leftist economic policies. While head of the Home Office Kenson passed the Unchained Act which abolished much of the police, legalized various drugs, and decriminalized all others. During the debates, Kenson fought valiantly for cocaine legalization and called Moss Boss the 'antithesis to democracy.

Death
Kenson was found dead of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in his office in the mid-afternoon on April 23, 2021. He left three notes, addressed to "Elizabeth," "Richard & Peigi," and "Peigi," believed to indicate his wife and two children. The reason for his suicide is currently under investigation. Upon his death, which occurred the day before the April 2021 Doggerland legislative elections, Mel again served as acting Prime Minister until someone else could be elected.
