Here’s the video the people calling themselves “The City of Keene” don’t want you to see:

After reviewing their city council rules, city ordinances, and state laws; Dale Pregent seems to have made up the rules barring alcoholic beverage containers (not containing alcohol) in order to target free speech. When the Police Chief Ken Meola is unable to determine what is in the closed containers held by Ian Freeman and Sam Dodson, they were arrested for refusing to consent to search. The video clearly shows, Heika – who consented to the search – being told “your fine” as she remained in the meeting drinking from her bottle.

Let’s not forget they did all of this on live TV with the community watching. Plans are in the works for the next City Council Drinking game, Aug. 19th, 7pm. Mark your calendar, it’s going to be a special event.

US Postal Worker Steals Donations for Shire Society Documents

Those of you following this blog know that Davi Barker was the artist who created the shire society documents signed by about a hundred people during Porcfest.

The donations from signers and money for supplies was ripped off by a US Postal worker who was able to heist 2 rounds of Silver, a 5g & 1g Shire Silver card, and 40 dollars. After cutting it open, they were nice enough to add scotch tape to the empty envelope which was delivered.

Was it some angry keene postal worker? The truth is, we will never know because the US postal bureaucracy pales in comparison to the tracking capabilities of private carriers. This is the second time I’ve had mail stolen. The first time was about 10 years ago when a postal worker stole a box of checks and went on a shopping spree.

For those of you that think the postal service is an independent The total US mail service pay in taxes bill for 2010: $0.

Do you think that gives them an advantage over FedEx, UPS, and DHL?

Mental Gymnastics and Recording The Police

Last year the NH Liberty Alliance put it’s weight behind HB 312, a bill which would allow members of the public to record government agents (who have the legal authority to kill you) in public without the fear of being arrested.

This video from Seattle (which went viral today) is the real reason why the police do not want to be recorded:

The City of Keene is Here to Serve You!

On Monday Night at 3am, two Keene police show up outside my house, knowing I’m in jail. They park in my yard, and begin talking loudly. Moments later they make their way to my front door. When Meg, who was home alone, woke up and saw this, she turned on a light. The two policeman responded by running back to their car, getting in and driving away. Here’s her Porc411 call after the terrorists left.

What were they doing? Perhaps looking in the windows to spot something that would justify a search warrant? Perhaps they were planning to break into my home, and conduct an illegal search, hoping to find something to get a warrant. Perhaps they wanted to plant something in my home to set me up. Perhaps they wanted to bug my home for monitoring.

I’d like an explination from KPD, along with the names of the two men who were here terrorizing my family. Listen to what happens when I call to find out why I haven’t heard from them.

Stay tuned, this will not go away.

Addressing Corruption in Keene

As this post goes public, I will be in Keene District Court presenting a letter addressing blatant criminal acts. The letter outlines allegations of corruption, criminal conduct, grand jury tampering, assault, and perjury – all by NH public officials. In their system the proper procedure is for citizens to present their evidence to a grand jury so they can investigate as their duty requires.

In the letter I outline and provide links to a video of Howard B. Lane, Judge winking at the prosecutor after overruling my objection, inventing facts, discriminating against my disability, and perverting the rule of law.

Free Stater Hunting Season is Open

Today I witnessed something that I found so shockingly callus, while at the same time unsurprising.

I went to Keene City Hall to file the asinine “required papers” to capture video of the ‘public trial’ Burke is holding for Sam this Friday. As I came into the 2nd floor lobby, the bailiff recognized me, and I gave him a friendly smile and a ‘Hello’. The bureaucrat behind the window began looking for some information I requested, I noticed a state trooper walking around in the area behind the counter. As he exited through the side door, and entered the hallway that leads into the courtroom, I could no longer see him; however, when he began to speak to the bailiff, I could hear him plainly:

“Hey, remember those Free Staters we got the other day? We just got him again!”

He exclaimed this in a tone of absolute joy, and then began laughing.

EMS’ Thin Red Line?

blueline Perhaps you’ve heard of the “thin blue line”? Besides being a gang symbol that the police use to identify one another in public when they are off duty or in different areas, it’s also describes the “brotherhood” of being a cop. Cops protect other cops. When one of them is under attack for doing something awful, you can watch as the thin blue line closes up to protect the one that is in danger. It happens again and again across America and the world. Only the cops who are caught red-handed doing the most egregious things are the ones unable to be effectively protected by their system. 99% of them get away with their crimes with their department spokespeople making excuses and brushing their abuses under the rug. It doesn’t matter in many cases that there are witnesses or even video of the officer’s alleged transgressions.

Looks like there may be a thin red line here in Keene. I went today to talk to John MacLean, the city manager. I wanted to ask him what the city’s policy was about employees who steal. He said he couldn’t do anything unless I complained to the police. As I’d mentioned in an earlier post, I’d rather forgive Ron Leslie, the thief in this case, and the captain of the EMS B squad. I was just curious what the city people would do about a naughty employee, and I wasn’t expecting much.

Turns out the situation is worse than I thought. Read more

City’s Voter Intimidation Campaign Prevents Write-In Candidate’s Success

Agents from the city of Keene were standing by all day long at Keene’s ward 4 voting location, lurking in wait for people registered to vote at the UPS Store at 39 Central Square. Whenever a voter would attempt to vote with a registration at that address, the voting bureaucrat would issue a challenge to the individual’s voting registration, claiming that address was not a “valid domicile”. The challenge meant that a “domicile affadavit” was brought out and the person in question was required to swear an oath that his domicile was indeed at the address they were claiming. We know this intimidation tactic irritated one potential voter so much he turned around and left. This is pure intimidation, as all they really need is an affidavit swearing domicile in a particular ward, however they always claim they need an exact address, which is nonsense, as homeless people can register to vote. I filled out my domicile address as homeless Read more

My Letter to CALEA

I sent the following letter to CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) which recently had an auditor out certifying KPD.

Hello CALEA Staff,

I’m writing to inform you of another incident with the Keene PD, which recently went though the certification process. I spoke with Barbara during the feedback session, but don’t have any further contact information, as your organization doesn’t seem interested in hearing from the public. Read more
