So first off… my sincere apologies for being so late in posting this blog. I’ve had a lot of things going on in life as of late so my mind has been elsewhere. So allow me to correct my lapse in informing you of the outcome of Joseph’s case.
The case was tried in front of Judge Ryan Guptill.
Did you know that federal law allows PRIVATE security to be armed with heavy weaponry like machineguns at Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensed facilities? This obviously makes sense… as these facilities are vital national security targets that we want defended at all costs.
The world should know that if any crazy terrorist wants to come at our nuclear facilities they will be met with heavily trained security officers carrying some seriously heavy weapons. Thus, this is such a hard target to penetrate why even make an attempt? That is a world I’d like to live in.
These security officers are allowed to possess machineguns in furtherance of their duties. Their ability to do so is codified in federal law and ultimately they answer to the NRC and the Attorney General regarding training, storage, etc… etc.
Freedom folk spend should spend less time worrying about AI and more time influencing it.
Pure libertarians have a key part to play in the direction of artificial intelligence, but few of us seem to be intentionally playing that part. A Startpage internet search for the word “A.I. libertarian” yields few meaningful results.
Our role should be to help ensure the “Zero Aggression Principle” is followed – or at least represented – in AI development and behavior. For uninitiated readers, the “ZAP” is the idea that you shouldn’t initiate force against others. Reasonable self defense is allowed, but don’t *start* fights.
This concept is always open to interpretation and definition-debate. But it serves as a first rate starting point for any ethical framework….especially the ethical frameworks in development for strong AI programs. The more closely people follow the ZAP, the less threatening they tend to be. So it is with animals. And so it will be with the powerful silicon intellects which are starting to appear on the scene. AI’s programmed to follow the ZAP will likely be the ones best suited to treat others well without submitting to mistreatment or abuse.

The Live Free or Die state has garnered a reputation for being extraordinarily pro-gun over the past few years. New Hampshire is either the best state in the union for gun rights or it’s tied with one or more other states for the coveted top spot. Granite Staters never need a permit to carry any firearm concealed or openly, and courts are the only places where guns aren’t allowed. The state government doesn’t restrict any magazines, ammunition, or accessories, and local governments in the state can’t do anything to restrict gun rights, either. Upon deeper analysis, however, one may find that New Hampshire is far from the best state for gun owners and supporters of liberty and due process. In fact, it may be the most tyrannical state in the union when it comes to the confiscation of firearms by police.
Free Talk Live host and Shire Free Church minister Zephan Wood began holding sermons at his house three months ago. Crowds have gathered at each event to listen to the sermons and then stay for hours after to discuss everything from cryptocurrency use as a religious practice (the main topic of the sermons) to consciousness, religion and DMT trips. The conversations usually start around his sermon and evolve through out the night, set around a fire.
Most of the attendees have been Free Staters but some have been locals invited out. It is very nice to see a Shire Free Church minister taking up a mission on their own to spread the ideas of peace. My own experience at these events has been welcoming, inspiring and mind-expanding. Conversation among like-minded and non-judgmental people is one of the most important activities for a community.
Judge Ryan Guptill has issued an ORDER on the pending motions Joa and I have entered in his case.
To summarize:
Trial is Tuesday at 1:00PM at the Hillsborough District Court in Hillsborough, NH.
Today is the final filling of the defense in Joa’s case. We’re filing a Motion To Suppress the body language exhibited by two witnesses outside the Hillsborough District Court as introducing that evidence would violate the hearsay rule.
Without the ability to cross examine these people as (we don’t know who they are) it is our position that the evidence of them turning to look at Joa when he was being arrested would be more prejudicial than probative.
The trial is next week on Tuesday at 1:00PM at the Hillsborough District Court in Hillsborough, NH (05/21/24). Please consider coming out to show support to a nice guy and fellow activist.
As an officer of the Court I would politely request that anyone who wishes to attend please comply with the Court rules on filming. The rules are very simple… No filming in common areas and fill out an Advance Notice Form before beginning filming in the courtroom. As we’ve learned from this case and investigation the required way to fill out the form is with your accurate identifying information. We don’t want another person getting in trouble for what we now know is expected on the form. 🙂
Hope to see you there!
