Thank you Brad Jardis. Thank you Ridley. Thank you all who actually DO SOMETHING for freedom and liberty because you comprehend the times we are living in and how important it is that we move now.

If I do nothing, I am going backwards, therefore my inactivity affects others similarly to "silence is consent" and we all know where that has gotten us… and I therefore push others backwards too.

Thank you everyone who stands up, speaks out and exploits evil.

Peace, Love, God's Blessings

Thoreau began with the most active supporters of all; namely, those individuals who constituted the standing army that was being used as a weapon by the elites. Thoreau wondered about the psychology of men who could fight a war and kill strangers out of a sense of obedience. He concluded that soldiers, by virtue of their absolute obedience to the state, become somewhat less than human because they have relinquished the defining aspect of humanity — their free will, their moral sovereignty. He wrote, “Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in power? Visit the Navy Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts–a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity…” This is how “the mass of men” employed by the state render service to it, “not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies.” In abandoning the free exercise of their moral sense, soldiers “put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones.” Equally I maintain that this is how policemen and other enforcement agents of the state render service to it — in a capacity that is less than fully human.

In regards to KB's quote above: ; Police are exempt from this law by RSA 570-A:2,II(c,d).

This is obviously a state statute we need to repeal.

Samson, the NH wiretapping statute (RSA 570) prohibits recording the "oral communication" of anyone who has an "expectation of privacy". By notifying everyone that he his recording, Ridley puts them on notice that they don't have an expectation of privacy.

Police are exempt from this law by RSA 570-A:2,II(c,d).

Not relevant to the video, but somebody should add a forum link at the top of this site. It's not clear at all for a newbie that there even is a forum.

A bit off subject;but:

I was curious…..ya see; i watch the Ridley report vid's and have noticed that he(Ridley) is obligated to inform police officials(as well as others) that he is audio-recording them.

MY question is— If you(Ridley in this case)must inform the police of your intent to record;…..then why are they not required to inform citizens that they(the police) are recording your "routine" traffic stop. AND, IF you are required to shut off your recording device at their request of " not wishing to be video-taped"—-then should not citizens reserve that same RIGHT??(to not be video-taped upon request)

Does my reason not stand????
