I had originally intended this as a forum post, but thought the message was a little more deserving of a wider audience, so I’d like to share my thoughts on the Battlestar Galactica finale and what it means for the liberty movement, and you specifically. Below the post, I’m including the final scene of the series finale of SciFi’s re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica, for those who haven’t seen it. BSG is a show that in over four seasons told the story of the near extinction of mankind at the hands of the machines they created, the Cylons. In the finale, an alliance of human-friendly Cylons and humans makes a stand against the vindictive anti-human Cylons and one Cylon’s choice has drastic consequences.

Activists decided to give the first ever Free State Project Recruitment Award to Burke because according to videographer Lauren Canario, “[Burke] has recruited more liberty-loving people to the Free State Project in a shorter time than ever recorded. His public outburst of rage at Ian Freeman for taking too long to sit followed by a 93 day jail sentence for having a couch in his yard convinced at least 8 people to fight tyranny sooner rather than later.”
After a speech from inspired new mover Yadra Voat, the award was accepted by Free Keene Blogger AnarchoJesse in Burke’s absence. See both the speech and acceptance comments in this video:
Patrick is a web developer and student of self-improvement who moved to Keene to live in complete alignment with his values. Indoctrinated into a moral code founded in obedience and self-sacrifice, Patrick experienced first-hand the misery and frustration they can cause. Now, he works on entrepreneurial endeavors, participates in both political and nonpolitical activism and is enjoying every moment. Patrick’s role models are Steve Pavlina, Tynan and Owen Cook. His primary objective in the liberty movement is critical analysis of tough-to-think-about subjects.
