The Keene police are coming after me for a violation level offense regarding not getting a driver’s license in NH after allegedly establishing “residency”. My arraignment on the charge is this week.
I will be filing the following:

If you’ve been reading this blog for the past year, you know that the people calling themselves the “City of Keene” raided my tenants’ home, the Keene Activist Center, in the summer of 2012. The city people had claimed, with no evidence current at the time of the raid, that it was being run as a “tourist home” or “lodginghouse” and is subject to the city ordinances regarding interconnected, AC-wired smoke detectors being mandatory on each floor. Here’s an article with some detail and initial court filings.
Now, the city has responded to my motion to dismiss with their objection, in which they cite an NH court case, Nelson v Wyman, which says regarding NH constitution article ten, the “right of revolution”,
“The right reserved to the people by this Article is not such a broad and unlimited right of insurrection and rebellion as to permit any group which is dissatisfied with existing government to lawfully attempt … to overthrow the government by force or violence.”
Of course, I have not advocated force or violence as I point out a second time in my response to their objection. I am engaged in peaceful revolution against the idea of “the state”. Though, I prefer to call it evolution.
Finally, the city’s attorney, Thomas P. Mullins, claims in his objection that:
Requesting Defendant to comply with a fire department regulation designed to protect life and property, including those of Defendant and his tenants, can hardly be construed by a reasonable individual as a “perversion” of the government justifying the right to revolt.
Whoa! Hang on. This has all just been a “request”? (more…)
Following recent attacks on real estate pro and all-around good guy Mark Warden, once again the pro-state media is on the attack against the Free State Project.
This time, Foster’s newspaper pens a paranoid editorial about the FSP approaching its goal of 20,000 participants, suggesting that there is some kind of secret plan to affect the 2016 election.
Hey Foster’s, the FSP’s timetable has nothing to do with your government elections. We want people to move here to get active as soon as possible. Elections are of course part of what’s happening here, but candidates are running as both Democrats and Republicans as well as in third parties like the Libertarians and the NH Liberty Party.
Were Foster’s to reveal to their reader that FSP participants are getting elected in both parties, that might really confuse all the people who can’t break out of the two party paradigm. Wouldn’t want to encourage anyone to think outside the box, right Foster’s?
Gandhi is famous for saying,
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
We’ve long been past the ignoring stage and it’s becoming clear that the statist opposition is no longer laughing.
Just wait until thousands more liberty-loving activists are here – the fun is only just beginning!

The Keene Sentinel’s Danielle Rivard has authored a detailed feature story focusing on how drug addiction and an inhumane system is destroying lives. Don’t miss it.
The only thing it’s missing is a real solution to drug addiction, which can’t really start until drugs are decriminalized. Once that happens, prices will drop, so fewer robberies and burglaries will occur. Additionally, addicts won’t be afraid to get help for fear of criminal charges. Finally, responsible recreational users will not face the destruction of their lives at the hands of the legal system, and will be less likely to enter the depression/drugs death spiral so common of people whose previously productive lives are torn apart by “the state”.
