Shire Activism Never Sleeps

There were a few anarchists in the town where I grew up, and a lot more in the city nearby. But perhaps because these individuals were not as organized as Keeniacs, the activism in which I participated seemed to live or die with my action.

I could get a few of my friends together and shout from a megaphone and sign-wave in Rittenhouse Park. We would go “Robin-Hooding,” where individuals feed parking meters for strangers in an attempt to “cost” the State the “revenue” of the ticket. But even in a city of 1.5 million, there were only a handful of us doing activism on a regular basis. “What’s the deal?” I wondered.

Free Staters “Forcing” Freedom

I’m really confused.

Every time I’ve recently heard someone complain about “Free Staters” I’ve been hearing about how the dreaded “Free Staters” want to “force” their views on people. I’m not a Free Stater, but I’d be proud to call myself one. For the sake of argument, lets pretend that I am .

I am now a Free Stater. *click*

You there! Reading the FreeKeene.com blog and hating every syllable. I want you to be left alone to live your life how you see fit so long as you don’t harm anyone. You disagree? Tough crap! I’m going to force you to be left alone!! By leaving you alone!! Theres nothing you can do to stop me…..!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

This whole forcing liberty thing is apparently an epidemic. I’m debating it with a guy on the usacarry.com forums in this thread here. I’m far from the best debater on the planet, so feel free to back me up if you see fit.

End The Drug War, Curtail Terrorism

In the spirit of the summary execution of an unarmed man, CNN has an article today discussing how al Qaeda makes the money it uses to perpetrate violent attacks against the innocent: Drug trafficking, kidnapping fund al Qaeda. I wonder how much money al Qaeda is making off bootlegging liquor these days.

I often wonder how many times people like me need to point these things out before detractors finally realize that what we’re talking about has some substance to it.

Drug prohibition causes crime. Drug prohibition funds violent criminal enterprise. Drug prohibition does the opposite of addressing the problems of drug abuse.

Shouldn’t be long now before I have some fresh stories from across New Hampshire of needless victimization fueled by the insane drug war.

Government Created Crime in NH

On 01/23/11 when Seth Gagne passed a note to a pharmacist in Rochester, NH, his intentions were made quite clear:

“Police say he passed a note to a pharmacist saying that if the pharmacist “pushed the button and did not return, (the pharmacist) would die.””

The Joke of a “Justice” System

Burke The joke is on you if you still think the “justice” system actually renders any. Case in point: Eight activists were charged with misdemeanor trespassing at the county jail earlier this year. (That one can “trespass” on property that is open to the public is another ludicrous issue, but I digress.) All eight activists were arrested together, so the circumstances of the cases were identical. The activists’ trials were broken up over multiple months. First, in August, was Jim Johnson. Jim was convicted of misdemeanor trespass and is currently appealing to a jury trial. Then, in September, was a multi-defendant trial involving yours truly, Lauren Canario, and fellow Free Keene bloggers Sean Murphy and Dale Everett. In this trial, the same man in the robe, Edward Burke, admitted that we couldn’t be found guilty of misdemeanor trespass, meaning it was not proven that it had been adequately communicated to us that we needed to leave. However, he convicted us all of violation-level trespass. Of course, this wasn’t what we were charged with at the start of the trial and unlike the misdemeanor charge, the requirements for conviction of this charge revolve around the defendant supposedly knowing he or she was not supposed to be in the place in question. Of course, we thought we could be there, as we’d been to the old jail countless times doing the exact same thing and had never been told to leave. However, we were not allowed to ask questions that would have been relevant to such a defense, because at the time of the trial it was still a misdemeanor, so the robed man ruled against those questions, saying they weren’t relevant to whether or not we were told to leave and didn’t, which is what needed to be proven by the state gang for a misdemeanor conviction.

If that wasn’t inconsistent and arbitrary enough for you, we come to the trial of Menno Troyer, who was quietly found NOT GUILTY of violation trespass a few days after his trial! Read more

The Trouble With Selling Tribbles

Click to Enlarge

In one of the most famous episodes of the original Star Trek series, The Trouble with Tribbles written by David Gerrold, much of the crew is convinced to buy these adorable little cooing furballs known as tribbles. A crafty salesman manages to unload quite a few of these before the crew realizes that they reproduce faster than Mormon bunnies overdosing on Viagra. Would he have managed to sell so many had the customers known they could make many more of their own by just over-feeding them a bit?

The trouble with selling tribbles is they just aren’t a scarce commodity. It’s built into their nature. The shifty Star Trek character wasn’t just selling tribbles. Every tribble he sold was also a tribble factory!

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.
