With less than 75 signers to go until its goal of 20,000 signers, the Free State Project’s looming completion is starting to hit the media. First up, Mother Jones, who published a feature piece on Keene activism in 2011 is back to follow up on the FSP in this article by Madison Pauly.
The original piece in Mother Jones in 2011 was written by Tim Murphy and called Keene activism a “hybrid of Gandhi and Project Mayhem”. I was impressed with Mother Jones – they actually had a fact checking person call me separate from the reporter to verify the facts in Murphy’s submitted piece. It was a well-researched piece.
The new piece, published today overviews the project and interviews several participants moved and yet-to-move. Check it out!
Being the narcissistic tool that you are, it must have really chapped your ass that the “new piece” never mentioned you by name. Not once, not even in passing.
Why is it that you fancy yourself as some sort of “leader” within the FSP, yet so many of people affiliated with the FSP go out of their way to distance themselves from you and your little gang of losers?
How is any of this “starting to hit the media”? I haven’t read or seen anything in the media. Maybe you are talking about the freekeene blogs that carry very obscure stories. Maybe I should start a petition like the FSP did and get 20,000 signatures to stop your fake church or have your video about having sex with children should be investigated.

Ian Bernard are you there?
Mother Earth, Reason are a couple of places it has already hit. When we hit 100% I expect many of the publications which have covered us in the past to revisit us. Don’t worry, Jumping Jackass, there are 49 states where they STILL don’t give a fuck about liberty, you can always move to one of those.
I realize I’m breaking a cardinal rule here by feeding the trolls… buy my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Has anyone yet inquired as to why “Jumping Jacks” and the various others seem to have all the free time in the world to post negative comments on Free Keene? I am genuinely curious: don’t you guys have jobs or families to tend to? I don’t check Free Keene all the time, and yet it seems that nearly without fail that these people post baseless, negative comments on most posts I happen to read.
The Free Keene people are adults, so say what you want about them — but be aware that you can never truthfully say they don’t live their beliefs. They are 100% the real deal. Free Staters in general, and the people of Free Keene in particular, are peaceful people who are attempting to make the world better for everyone: that includes negative people like yourselves who contribute nothing to society except grief. So take a breath, step away from the keyboard for an hour, and go do something nice for someone. You may find yourself less cranky tomorrow. (Or perhaps not, but it’s worth a try. It won’t cost you anything.)
As for the person who said there’s no media attention for the Free State Project, I recommend you check out this link: https://www.google.com/#q=free+state+project&tbm=nws It looks like quite a few articles have been written in major publications, just within the last month. Get ready for the coverage to only increase in the days ahead when these peaceful people, these pioneers in liberty, achieve their goal.
Rich Paul – Are you still pretending to be a pastor at a fake church? Because of that standing, I say you are a liar. Not even 1/8th will move to NH.
Nick – I go on this page maybe once or twice per day. Second, if freekeene were so good or the FSP were so real, it would be picked up by major news media. Both entities are not. The only way this gets in the media is if they call the media. When Ian Bernard is bored and not getting attention, he calls the media about some wild made up story to give himself some limelight. If you envision freekeeners as mature, intelligent people you r moral compass is very screwed up.
Nick, I appreciate your comment. I have a full time job, and run a good crew of guys in construction. I have a family and are satisfied in life. The problem is not with the fsp, but is with free Keene, a cancer in this lovely quaint city. It’s the way that Ian Bernard, and company run things here that you might not see. Thanks
Exactly. The problem is primarily the Free Keene Douchebag Squad (kudos to Colbert for coming up with that one).
I don’t really have a problem with FSP people who move to NH and participate in our society peacefully and respectfully. They have their ideas, and not all of them jive with the majority of people who already live here. The people that I do know whom identify with the FSP are nice enough, but we agree to disagree on many issues. I do, however, have a huge problem with the FKDS.
The FKDS practices an odd sort of “peaceful activism” as they call it: harassment, intimidation, humiliation, taunts, insults – you name it. This is not a group of “peace-loving” liberty people; they are anything but peaceful. Watch their videos and see for yourself their utter contempt for public employees, the rights of others and society in general. The FKDS has an extreme agenda and seeks to implement it through aggressive and violent means, if necessary. The best term to describe them is probably something akin to “liberty fascism”.
The interesting point here is that those FSP people I know think the FKDS gives them all a bad name and is a detriment to their cause, and as such avoid them like the plague. They tell me many others feel the same way.
The good news is that many members of the FKDS will at some point probably end up receiving substantial jail/prison sentences; it’s inevitable for people like this. We can only hope it’s sooner rather than later.
Nope, church is real, come by some time, I’ll see if I can save your soul. 🙂
Nope the church is a sham and a fraud. The only thing Richard Paul will save you from is water and soap conservation and avoidance tactics. He’s really good at that!
😉
Rich Paul – You are a liar. You can’t save anything and haven’t. The thing is you con your friends the freekeeners but you don’t con anyone else. That is why your so called “church” isn’t getting tax breaks. The bible warns against false prophets. You are one of them.
Hey Bsizzle and alanj, I appreciate that you understand free keene does not necessarily represent the entire fsp. That’s a great start for conversation. I’m friends with Mr. Paul, and many activists around here, which I’m not shy to admit. But I would love to see some relaxed dialogue some day between us maybe. I also rock a full time job and have a good crew. Though not in construction, but at the local paper. If you don’t mind my asking, what company do you own, or manage for?
I work at a good company, Jim.
I’ll exclude the name on behalf of the trolls.
Thanks
Understandable.
