Listen live at 7pm Eastern as the Motorhome Diaries‘ Jason, Pete, and Adam appear on Free Talk Live to tell the story of their roadside attack and abduction at the hands of the criminal gang of men and women calling themselves the “State of Mississippi”.
UPDATE: Here’s tonight’s archive.

Hear a very disturbing call to WKBK’s Talkback and my response here. Unfortunately, it appears that liberty activist participation in Talkback has fallen off a cliff. Please join us for our weekly listening, chatting, and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Free Keene Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.

Motorhome Diaries‘ Jason Talley says:
The #MHD crew has been released from Jones County jail. I was pepper sprayed and choked for refusing to give ID.
Sounds like the story is yet another horrific example of government tyranny. How many more of your friends and associates must be abused before you take action? Have you stopped paying federal taxes? Have you joined the Free State Project and moved to New Hampshire? Have you considered moving to where Pete and Jason are planning to move after the diaries are done?
Also, I’d like to thank all the great bloggers who stepped up and covered this story so quickly. I wish our other activist friend Sam could have gotten such a quick rush of attention when he was arrested for recording video in a public court lobby and imprisoned indefinitely without trial for invoking his right to remain silent. Sam has now been in jail over four weeks and is on a hunger strike. Please scroll through FreeKeene.com to read his blogs and get the story, or visit sam.jailedactivist.info and freesamdodson.com for more on his situation.
I will be inviting the MHD 3 on Free Talk Live tonight to tell their story.

Update on this afternoon’s breaking news:
I just spoke with an unusually helpful jail bureaucrat at Jones County Jail. The bureaucrat explained that the ATF has passed on investigating the incident and also called Jason, Pete, and Adam their “little celebrities”, due to the volume of phone calls the jail has received this afternoon. I was told that all the charges are misdemeanors and that bonds have been set in the amounts of $1,000 each for Pete and Adam and $1,500 for Jason. Apparently jail is not an option for sentencing of these misdemeanors, unless of course the MHD boys refuse to pay the fines. Additionally, Pete has been charged with “Possession of a firearm across state lines”, which is a MS state charge, not federal.
So, it sounds like they are going to bond out, and perhaps we’ll be lucky enough to hear from them on FTL tonight.

Please call 603-352-6902 before 4pm ET and request judge Tucker rule on the writ of habeas corpus for John Sam Doe, Docket #09-E-0085, today.
The good news is the state is apparently dropping the disorderly conduct charge along with the possession without a serial number charge. Of course, if the original arresting charge (disorderly) is being dropped, shouldn’t that also negate the follow up charges of “resisting arrest” and “refusal to process”. Are we close to Sam’s release?
UPDATE: Maybe not. Word from Ivy is the gangsters will now be charging him with their other favorite, “Criminal Contempt” of court. We’ll keep you informed as this develops.
