Activists converged on a state liquor store on 8/20 to redress their grievances regarding the insanity of prohibition:
Thanks to FreeGrafton.com for the coverage. Here’s more of what you’ll find at Free Grafton – the chalking spreads to the Concord fed building!
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.

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.
Liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss KPD’s targeting of liberty activists, police brutality (during this call, they hit the dump machine on something this local supporter said – who knows what it was), and the futility of trying to change federal government. A local paranoiac calls suggesting that “he” (one of us, presumably) is making money off of all this. Not sure to whom he is referring. Other locals call to express anger and confusion regarding liberty activists.
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p. If you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
Here’s a more complete picture of the events that occurred both before and after the Keene City Council Drinking Game, Round 2:
