I was a little concerned about paying property taxes with thousands of ones that had been stamped with FreeKeene.com. Actually, not all of them were stamped because it was just too much work, but at least 1500 of them were. I was concerned because I thought there was a chance the bank would pull that many stamped bills from circulation. I guess they didn’t because this week an editorial popped up in the Keene Sentinel all about them. Thanks to the Sentinel editorial staff for the story:
Some dollar bills circulating around here these days have two extra messages on them. Yes, there’s the traditional “In God we trust,” and the often puzzling “Annuit coeptis” and “Novus ordo seclorum.” But increasingly, on the front and back of dollar bills, we’ve been seeing advertising messages in blue ink reading: “Pro-Liberty Talk Radio www.FreeTalkLive.com” and “Keene’s #1 Blog for News, Opinion, & Activism www.FreeKeene.com.” (more…)
Tag along with Keene activists as we visit the Keene City Clerk’s office to request some documents related to my upcoming trial. Watch the city clerk defy the statues when she clearly says lawsuit records are not filed or available for my inspection. According to the statutory requirements she mentions the records, shall be kept on file and made available for inspection. Given that she admitted to violating 91-A:4 (VI), will the police issue her a ticket as they would if you violated a statute? Is the city attempting to impede my lawsuit?
643:1 Official Oppression. – A public servant . . .
Thanks to RidleyReport.com, we have video of Kurt Hoffman’s coerced appearance in Keene district court on “failure to obey” charges. He was arrested (that video is coming) for refusing to give papers to an armed, costumed man calling himself the “Roxbury Police”.
The Hope Chapel on Rt 12 was vandalized recently. (Here is the story from WMUR.) The cowardly vandal(s) violated the church’s property with painted anarchy symbols and a large amount of their own preachy, anti-religious text, causing several thousand dollars worth of damage. Liberty minded people can debate amongst themselves over the meaning of the term “anarchist”, but such discussion is nothing more than academic “masterdebating”. You can talk until you are blue in the face about how anarchy really means “no rulers”, but when dangerous thugs smash storefront windows, throw molotov cocktails, vandalize property and call themselves anarchists to-boot, you’ve got a SERIOUS public relations problem on your hands.
I believe in rules on private property. I believe in peaceful, consensual interactions between human beings. I am a voluntaryist. I understand that others in this movement are still enamored (as I once was) by the “macho flash” feeling they get from calling themselves an “anarchist”, or by walking around wearing an anarchy symbol t-shirt, but look at the destruction and the people that symbol is associated with! I know, I know, you’re trying to rescue the term by showing that you are peaceful and respectful of others’ property, in hopes of changing people’s preconceived notions about it. While I understand where you are coming from, I think it’s as futile and counterproductive as walking around wearing a swastika t-shirt because you know that historically the symbol stands for good luck and you want to change peoples’ perceptions of it!
