This is the video you have been waiting for. It’s Liberty on Tour’s Adam and Pete’s perspective, from their cameras, of their arrests in Denver at the Broncos’ stadium. This is what happens when you refuse to show your masters “your papers” in this supposed “free” country:

The police state is getting worse – join the Free State Project, escape to New Hampshire (here are some reasons to move to Keene) and help us all get free from those who would control peaceful people.

Thanks to the Union Leader’s Melanie Plenda for the Free Keene mention in her article about this weekend’s Live Free or Die Festival:

JAFFREY – Call them liberty lovers, Libertarians, radicals or rogues — just don’t call them Tea Partiers.

Those are fighting words — metaphorically speaking — for the peace-loving folk who came out to rally for four days in a field at the 5th annual Live Free or Die Rally this weekend.

Rally organizers and the group that helps sponsor the event — The Citizens Alliance Against Creepy Politics — describe themselves as a non-profit, non-aligned, pro-freedom organization that addresses a wide range of political issues.

Those in attendance may not agree on everything, but the one area there’s consensus: They are not the Tea Party. Read more

Thanks to the Keene Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis for this piece on last night’s committee meeting and the discussion outside:

A challenge to the city’s open alcohol container ordinance by a member of the libertarian Free Keene group didn’t cause any action, but did produce lots of dialogue Wednesday night.

Much of that discussion happened outside City Hall, between Free Keene members and members of a new group started on Facebook, Free Keene from the Free Keene Stigma, before a City Council committee meeting.

The Facebook group’s members say they want to combat Free Keene tactics, which the group deems ineffective and harmful to the city’s image. Read more

A frustrated and angry UK virgin is being flown to Amsterdam to hire a prostitute on the tax payers’ dime, raw milk raids increase, mailing tobacco through the US mail just got harder and more expensive, and mattress police; yes they really do exist and yes they really are cracking down on people who remove the ‘do not remove’ tags.

What was called “disorderly conduct” two weeks ago was ignored this week as the city council went about their “business” without interrupting their own meeting. Now they REALLY have no case against those they aggressed against, as they allowed the exact same behavior to continue. Not that they had a case before, anyway. WKBK’s Brad Ryder reports:

Here’s the article appearing in today’s Keene Sentinel about tonight’s drinking game. It reports that on tonight’s agenda is a letter from Keene native Heika Courser regarding the repeal of the open container ordinance, so the councilors will be addressing the issue. All indicators show a larger turnout of activists is expected tonight than last time. Here’s the text of the piece by “Sentinel Staff”:

City officials say they have made no special plans if a Free Keene group attends another Keene City Council meeting to play a “drinking game.”

The group’s website, FreeKeene.com, says that the “drinking game: round two” will be held at tonight’s meeting. Read more

All able bodied Americans ages 18 to 42 may have to report to Obama for 2 years of forced labor, NY government using Google Earth to find illegal swimming pools, the federal government requiring colleges to stop illegal file sharing, and a man wrongfully convicted of rape 27 years ago will be held in jail for an extra day so he doesn’t “freak out.”

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.
