A “fellow libertarian” used force against me

A few days ago, some friends and I were clearing brush on my property in Grafton, preparing to building a house, and we were burning some small stuff to make a fire to cook hot dogs on. Suddenly, thugs appeared and threatened us with violence if we didn’t put our fire out. We politely refused to comply with their threats, and more thugs came, and eventually the fire chief of Grafton, John Babiarz, who is a self-proclaimed libertarian (he’s apparently the libertarian party’s current gubernatorial candidate for NH), brought a fire truck and put out my camp fire. This may sound ridiculous, but it looks even more ridiculous. Check out the video.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 A.D., Day 40 – 140 to go…

If you hadn’t heard from me by now, it’s because I thought I’d be doing a Porc411 by now and letting you all know that the torture was suspended. Well… it’s not. After “my” hearing yesterday, Judge Burke gave the word that we ought to have his order in about 30 minutes for my release. That was day 39 of my pain, neglect, sadness, loss, headache, heartache, and lots of other “wonderful” things. Today is day 40 and quite honestly I don’t know if I can take much more of this. The pain that has been in my body for so long now, the neglect of the ones who are supposed to have the job of caring for me has gone on now for far too long. What “lesson” could I possibly be learning here? Immediately after “my” anxiety filled video hearing here from the jail, my words were used against me, twisted in a way that I can’t possibly understand the motive. The “Corrections” OFficer, Merrill, and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, misheard what I said and immediately used it as an opportunity to keep me caged by calling the court via tele. Granted, I’m not the most eloquent of speakers these days and it’s compounded dramatically further due to my 40 day long incessant pain in my body, it’s just not easy to smile folks. I’m just being honest. So, it’s possible he took my words to mean something other than what they were intended to express. I felt like vomiting, I often do. It’s likely due to any combination of aches, pains, stress, anxiety, side affects of long term Motrin use *which thankfully I’ve been switched over to a generic Tramadol (sp?) pill which is helping a bit more, etc. I’m not exactly un-grumpy a lot. Do you think that gets taken into consideration? No, it got twisted. I get further beaten into the ground, miss my family, my dog, my ability to care, my ability to get proper care, my fingers… oh… yes, two plus two DOES equal five! And the beatings continue. No, I am at the point where I understand that I do not deserve this. I have all along felt that way, but now more than ever. I never hurt anyone, but I can tell you that I understand why people do, who have no ability to cope or forgive, do hold awful resentment upon departure from a place like this. It only is the product of what this place manufactures. When are WE going to stop this insanity? The system of fake justice has beaten me. I’m just being honest folks. I really don’t know what to do now.

Aubern has been working with tenacity that is unbelievable, to get me out. My friends, family, brothers and sisters have been praying for and with me. Where is any kind of real justice? I’m sorry if I’m coming off as being full of self pity. I do know that it isn’t just me who this is costing. Read more

Saturday, November 7, 2009 A.D., Day 37 – 143 to go

I’m officially out of cash. The human cages who hurt me and caged me wiped out my “canteen” account. All I received was two Chick-o-stick candies which I ordered for another human who is caged in here who is indigent. If they were trying to shut down my mail, they found their way.

I’m guessing they are charging the account because of the “meds,” the Motrin I’m on that barely takes the edge off and permits me to sleep. It’s all about profit from any angle they can get it. If they can’t force the humans they cage in here to pay, they will steal it from you, at the point of a gun, and tell you it’s for God and glory and to keep you safe from the bad people who hurt others… sorry, I never could quite swallow all of that giant turd of a story, though for a time, I remained silent and therefor consigned the abuses, though I knew in my heart what it was all about… though not in my head.

So, the team of human cagers don’t like to hear me. I know I’m not the easiest to take but I have little patience for evil and heartless people who repeatedly abuse others, for a paycheck… make no mistake, that is what it’s all about folks, if you need to experience it for yourselves, just try to drive without begging their permission on roads that are supposed to be “public.” That is where they profit, on your “public” land. There are so many, far better and efficient ways to have commerce and enjoy travel on “public” ways. Why they feel they have the right to profit and aggress against you on them, is beyond me. Sure, you don’t want crazy people doing God knows what or what have you on public roads but… I can’t get into it here, just try to think, or listen to all the ideas that will work and will work peacefully, without theft and destruction by the Department of Roadway Aggression aka the “State Police” with guns and handcuffs.

November 2, 2009 A.D., Day 32 – 148 to go :|

I never cease to be amazed at how sickening the “corrections” system is, how corrupt, how demeaning, condescending, abusive, humiliating, freedom stealing, ad infinitum!

Moments ago I discovered that full grown adults who are placed (according to the other oppressed gentlemen in here) on this awful product called “probation” (which is ridiculously long periods of time, expense, and humiliation) have a curfew! “Are you freakin’ kidding?” I could hardly contain myself. Some fathers and mothers have to be at their homes no later than 9 PM. If there is anything that frosts my hiney, this is it. I am outraged. Sure, this may seem like some small detail that could be easily overlooked as unimportant to you, because you aren’t the one that has been dragged into their system against your will… “so what? Aren’t they bad people who hurt others?” No! They are mothers and fathers, business owners, pastors, employees, contractors, etc., When I was duped into joining the military years ago, something I never thought would ever occur, something so insanely humiliating… dressed up as anything but hat it was really for was called “The Buddy System.” We could not step one foot anywhere in port cities without a “buddy/” That infuriated me. I hated it! Who are they to judge what I do? Well, I was property (literally) of the federal government. One size fits all. I don’t think I have ever been insulted quite like that. My friend Rick in here (and yes Mom, I’m making friends in jail, sorry) is a grandfather. You may think these guys or girls are bad people and it doesn’t matter because it’s not happening to you. Look, probation, first of all doesn’t work. It is designed to keep the dollars coming in to the private corporations that run the courts like they are stuck in a rotating door. There isn’t one “Corrections” Officer who does not disagree with me (on that topic) but then again where does their $ come from? If they can keep humans caged for longer periods of time it means more revenue, more hours, better choices for shifts, bigger budgets, etc.… you know the government drill, all too well by now, and if you don’t, it’s time, past time you started standing up for where my wallet gets spent… speaking for myself, jokingly of course. Yes, this stuff drives me crazy. I wish my attitude was better, but I’ve had a headache since a month ago today. I would love to dance like my friend Yadra was doing when some of you saw him in cell #114. Read more

Terrorists

Happy Sunday! Halloween was great! I dressed up as a person who is thought to harm others and to many folk’s eyes I looked real! What a scary guy I am.

Today was visit day and a day for me to be further targeted by the crumbling system of thugs. “After “visiting hours” the jail personnel would not allow my attorney the “unfettered access” granted and mandated by their rules. My good friend Richard (thanks for all you do) made a sign that has been held up at many of our protests reading “APPLE YOUR RULES TO YOURSELVES.” After all, aren’t the “rules” for them too? How about “everyone?” Nope. This is only targeted at me, and likely anyone who attempts (with resounding reception) to illustrate the false legitimacy of the thugs.

Not all of my life has been one where I saw them clearly for who they are. Sadly and shamefully, I fell into the sales pitch, that we need those jails to “put bad people who hurt us.” Being inside sure has proven to me that imagining anything of the slightest bit resembling that cartoon image is simply lies, deception, etc. It is all clear to be and sadly I still have residual damage as a result in that I still, somewhere, in the back of my mind WANT to believe that so it will be all okay and I can feel that false sense of warm, safe and fuzzy that I enjoyed when I was living in dream land.

Saturday, October 31, 2009 A.D., Day 30 – 151 Days to go

Last night’s “battle” with the physicians assistant was interesting, to say the very least. I’m still shaking my head in astonishment. First off, the appointment I was supposed to have with the opthamologist was supposed to occur on Monday or Tuesday of last. It finally happened on Thursday, when the guards announced “there is someone who wants to talk with you” then proceeded to play games with me as to if they would tell me where I was actually going or not. Okay I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt on those items. David Seigal, the physician’s assistant, was downright rude and the double speak was amazing. “Well we live in a very litigious society” was his defense, to his previously offensive comments and lack of desire to rectify the issues of why I can’t walk without excruciating pain. It’s an amazingly sick soul someone has when they tell you that you are “refusing” an MRI after I finally got to the point where I can’t take the abuse and harm they intend. How can it possibly be anything else? I was very direct when I asked “why are you ignoring my condition?”… he replied “what do you want me to do?” as if I’m qualified to know. The conversation continued and I told him to imagine I’m a human being without this orange jump suit on for an instant, that I’m not some horrible person who has harmed anyone to which he went totally off on some tangent about how he didn’t want to have a political debate… who mentioned politics? What??? Hello??? You are “the DOCTOR!” I am a person, a human, suffering in pain. If I ever questioned the Hypocratic oath, it was last night. He’s a statist thug, embezzling and living like many in his legion. I have met the enemy and he’s the state, as a matter of fact, he’s the Doctor for “the state.” Yippe, I got some more Motrin to tear up my guts and how on earth am I going to discover what is wrong with me? Now, he’s scheduling yet another eye appointment. In the meantime I get the nurse with a bedside manner of a grizzly to hand me Motrin. I think they all need to see psychotherapists. I won’t describe here just how nasty and degrading he became when I told him that I’d signed release papers for my wonderful chiropractor, and I also mentioned that my wife will be bringing me papers for me to authorize my friend, a Harvard Doctor, who has volunteered to examine my records as well. That is when I should have known but naive as I am, I did simply expect him not to feel so threatened by my mentioning I was getting a second opinion. hen the door shuts behind you in here, as well as if you show up for court here and even dare question the false authority the illegitimacy of the state’s power becomes crystal clear. When I departed from our “conversation” I only said “God Bless You” because I sure wasn’t capable of it at that time. Today I received a card from Tarrin from the LCL Report. I must let you all know that though I tried, I could not see any of you who were also kidnapped, while they caged 13 of you in here. Thanks for the update Tarrin. Knowing that the message is growing is more strength than you know. Info getting in here is an awful task. To see Yadra and Evan in shackles and chains by the dirty hands of the real enemy was amazing on many emotional levels. Some sadness, some joy. Read more

Friday, October 30, Day 29 – 151 to go

Ma’am Behind The Curtain

The violent ones “allowed” Aubern to “represent” my person in their devilish system. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I signed an apology, as much as I could stand to, to just get me into a position where I can get both remedy for my pain and limited physical abilities and into a position where I can contribute to my family and the world in a way that thugs may not like, by providing for them without begging permission from them.… which sadly and shamefully I have to do so I can do something better for the world. I sure don’t want to rot in here at a cost of nearly $15,000.00 to the tax-payers, most of whom agree that it is against their will, and they don’t approve, never mind the cost of the medical bills, which I sure as heck am not responsible for, and I’m sure the tax-payers aren’t responsible as well. Just who is responsible? I think the man who knows he is, knows. He needs no introduction here, surely.

It is so nice to hear, from all the mail, that many more people are moving here. Lots of people seem to say that Burke’s days are numbered in that seat. Interesting huh? Read more

Don’t Ask

Today is visitation day! I get to see the love of my life! Sweet sadness is the theme.

Much to nobody’s surprise this mail is read by the Gestapo, ah, sorry, I mean government workers. Yes folks, even after sealing it up and placing some security marks on it, as well as recording which guard took which letter and the date being put on the outside of the envelope, they read the mail. Yes folks, some government workers can read, however, when you ask a question, don’t you generally want an answer? Perhaps not if you are asking rhetorically but… not once have I responded to “Mr. Hoffman.” When asked by the guard named Coulme (or Colon) what the reason was and explaining after I asked if he seriously wanted to know why I don’t choose to have a last name rather than my family name he replied in true government fashion by saying rapidly “I don’t want to hear any of that nonsense,” then tried to insult me. It’s wise to take what he says with a grain of salt… well if you seriously want to know then be patient enough and have a brain enough to LISTEN! Read more
