This is the full video of my “Live Free Or Dance” trial. For those unfamiliar, This summer I was caged for having a dance party in Keene Central Common. Now I face 2.5 years behind bars unless I can convince a Jury to let me be free. As always, I am looking for constructive criticism from law-loving types. To see copies of all the papers on my defendant’s table, visit LiveFreeOrDance.com/Court.
The video is 3.5 hours, so if you’d like to skip around, it may be helpful to use this previous post as a guide to what happens when.
If you are the victim of state aggression and charged with a victimless crime, I urge you to NOT take the plea deal. Learn why I refuse and why you should too by clicking below:
Police love to claim they just do what they are told by the legislature. But that’s not all they do. Many actively fight to keep the status quo and not only that increase the police state. Here in this Union Leader piece they come out to state house hearings to allow some felons to possess firearms and engage in fearmongering, including propagating the absurd idea that gun laws prevent criminals from getting and carrying weapons. Absurd.
As we’ve seen with the case of Brad Jardis, any cop that actually speaks out in favor of more freedom is targeted by “the brotherhood” of the “thin blue line” for retaliation, including firing. So, any “good” cops stay silent for fear of losing their job and pension. Therefore, tyranny continues unabated. Here’s the piece from the UL: (more…)

According to WMUR TV, a Keene man and his associate were busted trying to pick up a package full of hashish at a UPS facility. The deceitful police even posed as UPS workers to make the bust. (Yes, this is the same department that threatened Ademo at the airport on Friday.) UPS should be ashamed for assisting in this and the police also for being so slimy and aggressive. Now the police have 20 pounds of hashish to smoke and sell and the peaceful men who went to make the pickup are facing prison sentences:
Two men were arrested in Londonderry last week after attempting to smuggle drugs in a package sent via UPS, police said.
Investigators said the drugs were hidden in an inflatable boat.
Police said they were wearing the traditional UPS brown uniforms when they went in to make the arrests. (more…)
Many individuals around the world have learned that only by interacting peacefully can we achieve a more harmonious, prosperous, healthy, fair and tolerant society, that our lives on this planet can be far better. People universally oppose acts of aggression, theft, and fraud when committed by individuals. We accept the principle that the initiation of physical force against others is illegitimate, immoral, and may rightly be defended against. For the most part, we also insist that organizations of individuals, such as corporations, also abide by this natural tenet.
When it comes to state aggression, however, especially that wrought by democratic governments, the perspective for many can change. Individuals too often excuse the state when it harms innocent individuals. This may be because they feel powerless to effect change or uninformed, preferring to defer to those more knowledgeable. They may possess cultivated feelings of nationalism and exceptionalism; expectations of benevolence and altruism in state officials; fears of attack, fostered by interventionist propaganda and complicit mainstream media; yearnings for conformity; or just a willingness to harm, burden or restrict others, in the expectation of benefit to ends and causes they themselves consider to be good ones. Thus, when our governments act as aggressors rather than protectors of human rights, many individuals remain silent.
