Keenevention 2016 Canceled Due to Federal Threat

Ladies Panel @ Keenevention 2015

Sadly, Keenevention 2016 is not going to happen.

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. As you may already be aware, Sunday morning the FBI, along with state police and Keene police raided my home, the LRN.FM studio here in downtown Keene. While I don’t believe that anyone in my home did what they are saying was done, I would not put it past the FBI to manufacture the evidence that they or I did. Look no further than the rampant corruption in the Ross Ulbricht Silk Road case or the FBI’s previous attack on Free Keene blogger Rich Paul for proof of their desperation to destroy peaceful activists.

Anyone who has ever been under active threat by the tyrannical system knows the burden it creates. Even though no charges have been leveled at anyone thus far, the FBI stole thousands of dollars in computers that were critical to the ongoing 24/7 radio network I program, LRN.FM. Now the waiting begins as they use forensic tools to comb through dozens of electronic devices including computers, SD cards, flash drives, and phones. Will they come back with false child porn charges or something else entirely? It took them most of a year to finally come back and arrest the owners of Phat Stuff head shop on Main Street after stealing their store’s inventory, their truck, and cleaning out their bank account.

All that time you wonder what is going to happen next? What else are these aggressive men and women calling themselves “the state” going to do to you and your family? Meanwhile, everything you might have wanted to do or create turns into a question mark. Why start a new project or business when the government gang might just swoop in after you’ve just gotten started and throw you into a cage?

That’s where I am with Keenevention 2016. I really have enjoyed creating these intimate conventions three years in a row, but they cost thousands to put on and that money could be used instead to rebuild my more important mission of broadcasting the ideas of liberty and peace seven-days-a-week.

In short, due to the hanging threat by the criminal gang known as “the state”, I feel it’s irresponsible to push forward with this year’s event. If you have purchased a ticket, I’ll be contacting you for a refund. Perhaps Keenevention will return in the future, but for now this website and its dozens of videos will stand as a living record of the amazing speakers and panel discussions we’ve had over the years.

If you were an attendee, I’m grateful. Thank you for being a part of the fun.

Of course freekeeners would argue for nipples. That is the only way they can see a woman that close up. Of course they will be hiding in the bushes like they do when they stalk people. This will also allow freekeeners to continue to objectify women because the freekeeners will get in the face of a woman but not a man.

So Jacks, how do you pick up the fairer sex? I’ll bet they just swoon when you lie about how much money you make.

did they show exibit A in the courtroom? Um i dont think nipples are the problem…i mean if there was a disembodied nipple whod care?

Dan Hynes has done a fantastic job representing us from the very beginning. We are extremely grateful for all that he has done for us, regardless of the ruling of the Supreme Court. In answer to your question, there are tons of people, and sadly many of them women who feel the sight of a female nipple is immoral. You know, “what about the children?”, you know, those children who go around topless till they are all of a sudden told “cover up, you are now a sexual object” (at the age of 3 or 4), (those same children who… Read more »

that lady seems very self conscious and ..proud

Ok sure

Ian just loves nipples. Especially the underaged kind.

Say Jacks, did you know that while you were biding your time anticipating the crash of cryptocurrencies, the rest of us were buying them when they were cheap and exchanging them for a sizable a profit? It’s too bad you’re not bold enough to to do the same, eh Jacks?

What about free the penis?
Men should be allowed to take a leak next to a tree without getting arrested for
public indecency.
