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.

Why I Support “Free Keene”

You know…. as I read all the insults and hatred that is directed at both myself and fellow Free Keene contributors, I can’t help but think the vast majority of you making these rude remarks haven’t the slightest clue as to what exactly this blog is about. I think this because I’m fairly sure that if people really knew the logic behind things here that we would be supported, joined, and encouraged.

I think this because at one time I vehemently disagreed with Ian Freeman’s (the owner of this website) view of how a society can function without institutionalized violence. Not only do I now agree with him, I volunteer to help him by writing for his blog.

Locals Form FK Opposition Facebook Group, Plan Protest

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
-Mahatma Gandhi

After finally showing up at this week’s city council meeting to protest liberty activists, locals who oppose FK’s “methods” have formed a facebook group and planned a protest for Monday August 23rd at 5pm at Central Square.

Exactly what methods they oppose are not made clear. FK supports all peaceful methods of achieving a voluntary society including civil disobedience and noncooperation, media creation, outreach, and political action. Do they oppose all of these? Discussions are occurring on their facebook group and also the Free Keene Forum.

I’d like to thank opposition group founder Annie Callaway for encouraging her participants to join the Free Keene Forum. More conversation between us is a good thing. The FK Forum is a tolerant place where we only prohibit violence and racism. We shall see if their facebook group is as tolerant as our forum. The last facebook group that was formed to oppose FK kicked out anyone they could identify as being associated with Free Keene. However, that group was formed by someone else, not Annie. I welcome the discussion.

Keeniac’s Conversations with “Federal Protective Service” Agents

Adam Mueller conversed with some feds outside a courthouse during Liberty on Tour’s stay in Philadelphia. At least these cops are honest about who they are protecting – it’s right there in their agency name, “Federal Protective Service”. Adam captured some real choice lines by one officer in particular:

Sidewalk Chalk is not a Crime

innocent people

Last night a group of peace-loving activists decided to spread their message using sidewalk chalk, a medium constantly used on the sidewalks of downtown Keene, and which can be removed by a light rainfall or lawn sprinkler. However, according to the always factual Keene Sentinel, when used to apply pro-peace messages to pro-violence monuments, this once harmless and not even semi permanent art form takes on the properties of vandalism.

Free Rich Paul, Restore Personal Freedom

Our friend, super activist, and Keene resident Rich Paul continues to sit in jail (on purpose) in brave protest of the horrible drug war that infects our society. The drug war is the justification used by the government to steal a great deal of our freedom and is from my experience largely attributable to why so many people feel that the police hurt more than help. Like many brave souls before him, Rich continues to live without freedom so that one day a bad law/policy may come to a crashing end.

A Free Talk Live website contributor (thanks Xpansive) has submitted the following video to the new and improved FTL website which allows the listeners to suggest show content. I find the video touching… and I think that everyone, especially drug war supporters, should watch it. If you do not want to use mind altering substances, that is a respectable decision… just please don’t attack peaceful people who choose opposite.

Constitutional Rights Were Violated in Keene

It is no surprise to those of us who write here at FreeKeene.com that we have many readers from the Keene community and beyond that firmly disagree with various things that we advocate. If you happen to be one of the aforementioned, chances are that you’re a supporter of the state and the constitutions that define how it can behave. Hopefully, I can appeal to you through this brief article.

Two nights ago two of Free Keene’s contributors had their constitutional rights violated by government employees that they both are forced to fund. The argument of whether Ian Freeman and Sam Dodson were looking for a confrontation is irrelevant and no excuse for the behavior of government officials that was initiated by government officials. In this state and country the government is prohibited from interfering with peaceful free speech and protest. The onus is on government employees to comply with the entirety of the state and federal constitutions, at all times… even when confronted by people peacefully expressing their displeasure at the continued enforcement of a government policy.

Especially when confronted by people peacefully expressing their displeasure at the continued enforcement of a government policy.
