This video of Beau’s arrest for wearing a hat in court (charged with direct criminal contempt) and the subsequent “right of alocution” hearing shows some important things about the NH liberty movement today. Continue reading after the video for analysis:
The good news: The numbers of liberty-oriented people moving to and getting active in NH are growing, and those willing to take a risk are increasing. There is strength in numbers, and the more of us there are that are willing to laugh at the aggressors as well as noncooperate and disobey, the more they lose their precious legitimacy and control. The robed man in this video, Edward Burke, desperately attempts to flex his power by attempting to clear the courtroom.
The bad news: Burke is largely successful at clearing the court. (more…)
Lastweek I was arrested for “improperly influencing” a ‘judge.’ Yesterday, I released this video showing everyone exactly what happend and today, the district attorney – Chris McLaughlin – non processed the charges. Above is an update I captured shortly after hearing the news.
For those that live in Keene and think Burke abused his power, or broke a law, please call Chris McLaughlin – 603.357.9815 or John Webb – 603.352.0056, tell them to press charges on Burke (for abuse of power, false arrest or any of the other laws anyone else would be arrested for).
Thanks again to all those who helped me while under arrest, in jail and afterwards on court papers.
Since my arrest for “improper influence” I’ve been focused on getting back the footage taken from me and preparing for my probable cause hearing this Thursday. Despite the holiday weekend and usual bureaucratic trickery I was able to retrieve my footage today. I think three things played in a role in the success of this. One was the fact that I remained persistent with those holding the footage, often asking them to watch it themselves. The second reason was that I willingly signed a consent form allowing the police to access the footage. Meaning I didn’t have to wait for a search warrant or court hearing before this took place. Finally, I think those who did watch the footage know that (judge) Burke abused his power when he ordered me arrested and, may have, felt bad for me – for once. One officer even commented to me, during a jail visit, that, “You (Me – Ademo) shouldn’t be here.”
Police and federal agents are not your friends. When they talk with you, everything you say is being committed to their memory to be used against you in court, should they decide to arrest you for some arbitrary reason. Lying to them can also get you in significant trouble as it is always illegal to lie in federal jurisdiction and frequently illegal in state jurisdiction.
If you don’t believe me… just ask Martha Stewart. As rich and influential as she is, it is too bad she didn’t know to just keep her mouth shut. Had she not spoken with federal investigators she may have never been convicted of anything. This is why I frequently advise people that when they interact with government agents that the best thing they can do is always remain silent.
Back in March I wrote about how I practice the art of not answering prying questions from federal agents when returning to the United States. Some may perceive this as me purposefully being disrespectful or looking for trouble. It is not intended to be either of those things. My refusal to answer questions is an attempt to protect myself and my privacy.
Two days ago I visited Nogales, Mexico. When I returned I was arrested, handcuffed, and thrown in a cage by a US Customs Agent. It was my first time ever being arrested. I was released without charges.
Why would I be released from federal custody without any charges?
