On yesterday morning’s “Talkback” on WKBK, Free Minds Media’s Toby and Nick, Free Talk Live’s Ian and Mark, and The Obscured Truth Network’s Sam called the show and discussed freedom of the press in the city building, enforcing the law on bureaucrats, and tax rates. Then statist city councilor Chuck Redfern calls and accuses liberty activists of making “trivial” points and and “taking city resources”. The smarmy Dartmouth guy also calls to make his usual ad hominems that liberty activists are childish attention seekers and are “compromised psychologically and mentally”. A few friendly voices from the local area also called to support liberty activists.

Cheshire sheriffs (uniformed men with guns and tazers) are searching the streets of Keene for the peaceful NH Free Press publisher, Russell Kanning. Below you’ll see video that Lauren Canario captured of her husband Jim Johnson successfully refusing to provide ID when asked:
Tack on another $250 to the thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on imprisoning Keene liberty activists thus far in 2009. For his dastardly crime of “disturbing” the soil in central square (see video of the arrest) in an attempt to plant some tomato seeds earlier this spring, Cory “AnarchoJesse” Maloney will likely be ordered to jail for three days. The robed man at Keene district court, Edward Burke, rejected Maloney’s legal argument which centered around their rule exempting agricultural tilling from the definition of “excavation”, saying he didn’t believe it was the legislator’s intent to override the city ordinances. The city’s ordinance apparently also says that one needs a permit to “disturb” city property. Maloney was found guilty and $120 demanded of him. He indicated he would not be paying and Burke suggested he think about it for a few days, because the only other option is 3 days in Chez Westmoreland. At over $30,000 per year to imprison people in NH, that’s more than $250 stolen tax dollars for three days. Add that to the over $6,000 already spent imprisoning peaceful activists so far this year.
How much more will they spend on this draconian punishment? How many more peaceful people must have their freedom stolen from them before this tyranny ends?
We know the government people read this blog. If you are one of them, how many more people will you hurt? Isn’t it possible what you’ve been participating in is wrong? That is, imprisoning peaceful people who haven’t harmed others?
I forgive you, and ask you to please stop playing your role in this violent system. Do the right thing.
We expect video of the trial to be available later here at FreeKeene.com
I reviewed the questions you posed in hopes of trying to draft responses that you would find logical and convincing, but the very nature of your questions precludes that. Your view on these matters is obvious, and I’m confident I could not convince you otherwise.
Apparently, Meola, who is very nice about his refusal to respond and also very pleasant in person, feels no obligation to answer simple questions about the system he has insisted I am a part of. Because of his non-responsiveness, I am going up the chain to the police chief, Arthur Walker. Here is my letter to him, which I will be hand-delivering on Monday: (more…)
