Keene CopWatch Makes Front Page

An article in the Keene Sentinel on Sunday, 06-08, reports on the recent CopWatch activities and discussions:

See the article online.

Mr. Bantz does a pretty good job at summarizing what’s gone on to this point. It may be hard for people in this community to understand why it’s a “surprise” that the police were welcoming to the cameras. Just this week, news came out of a videographer taking news footage being taken down by an officer that just didn’t want to be recorded.

Copwatch isn’t about being aggressive. Aggression and force starts by the police when the blue lights turn on behind somebody. We just want to be there so that the officer involved knows everything he does must be able to stand up to scrutiny. There are police agencies just states and cities away from us that take questions and cameras as threats and challenges to their authority, and they don’t respond well to them. It’s great that Keene officers are open for the most part, and Copwatch is about making sure we’ll see it if they go down the road toward corruption.

Four Free Keene Videos Now High Quality and in Widescreen!

Filed under: Economic Freedom, Introduction, Issues, News, Personal Freedom, Police, Thuggery, Video — Ian at 4:05 pm on Thursday, May 22, 2008

I’m a bit of a videophile, so when I found out YouTube now supports higher quality videos, I had to re-upload some of my recent productions. Much to my surprise, not only are the videos now in higher resolution and bandwidth, but they are also staying in the widescreen format! (If you watch in full screen mode on a widescreen monitor).

I cannot embed them in high resolution, so please click the links and then watch in full screen to see these more as the director (me) intended:

Thanks for watching!

The Free Minds TV Hiatus Episode. Toby and Nick talk about an old man involved in a illegal taxi sting for giving a woman a ride home from the grocery store before getting into this week’s Downsizer Dispatch.

Revoking my Libertarian Party “Life Membership”, a.k.a. Politics Sucks!

Filed under: Activism, Essay, Hypocrisy, Introduction, Issues, National, News, Personal Freedom, Rant, Response — Ian at 5:32 pm on Monday, April 28, 2008

The Libertarian Party (LP) had, after the late, great Harry Browne’s campaigns, been falling further and further from it’s original principles. In the early portion of this decade, when the LP removed from the party platform their calls for the abolishment of the CIA and FBI, I wrote their newspaper to say I’d not send them another dime of money until they got back to their founding principle: the non-initiation of force.

As I drifted away from the LP and politics and toward market-based action, I paid less and less attention to the LP. I even said on the air recently on “Free Talk Live“, my talk show, that the only reason I was still a member is because I bought a life membership and it hadn’t been worth my while to cancel it.

Know when to hold 'emOkay, that might not be entirely true but liberty activists did gamble for money in public today and no one was arrested! (Cops were standing nearby!) In addition, we did some pro-liberty outreach to the good people of Keene. Big thanks to The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, NH Coalition for Common Sense, the Alternatives Expo, The New Hampshire Free Press, and everyone else who came out to attend the event!
