The Keene Police Scanner is Back – New IP Address!

by | Jul 19, 2012 | 0 comments

If you have been trying to access the Keene Police Scanner stream over the past couple of days, it has not worked. That was due to a server change – we’re now located in “the cloud”, so there is almost zero chance of hardware failure from here out. If you had been listening via the KPD.FreeKeene.com shortcut (just use “open URL” in your favorite media player and put that in), then you’ll merely need to reload the stream. Had you been listening using the direct IP address, you’ll need to update that to http://98.143.36.105:6060/live

Enjoy!

Why I am moving to Manchester and yet call Keene Home

by | Jul 4, 2012 | 8 comments

I did what many will tell you not to do.  I moved to Keene nearly five years ago with $500 and all the property I could fit in my compact car.  I took a leap of faith and landed in the home of Kat and Russell Kanning, much to my fortune.  With no job lined up prior to my move and my limited resources, my brand new car was quickly repossessed.

I remained steadfast in my resolve to make the move a success.  A month after my move I voted for Ron Paul in the New Hampshire GOP Primary.  Two weeks later I landed perhaps the best job of my life thus far.  I quickly started saving money and soon bought a used car.

Curiously my first “liberty event” was karaoke at a then “Free Stater Owned” bar just outside Keene.  I didn’t sing at the time as I had not yet discovered my talent for karaoke.  I also attended the Social Sunday events and a training session for New Hampshire Liberty Alliance bill reading.  I sat and listened mostly, absorbing the energy around me, adapting to the new culture, community and ideas.

Proud Parent of a Soldier

by | Jun 26, 2012 | 0 comments

Yesterday on my way home from work, I saw a sticker on the back of a green minivan that stated: Proud Parent of a Soldier. As I drove behind this vehicle for several miles, I wondered if this parent actually understood just what message he or she was sending. My mind kept seeing dead Afghani, Iraqi, Pakistani, etc…men, women and children lying dead in the streets and in hospitals. My mind also went to the pictures of American soldiers gleefully urinating on dead Afghanis, the horrid Wikileaks video of the helicopter crew excitedly gunning down men, the torture and sexual abuse of Abu Ghraib, the burning of Korans. I know that I am not the only one who interprets nationalistic messages this way.

However, let me be clear. I once was a member of the US military and I once interpreted these nationalistic messages with visions of the American flag, the bald eagle, Stars & Stripes, the pledge of allegiance, and the list goes on and on! I would hear the national anthem and tears would come to my eyes. What glorious difference enlightenment brings!

After realizing I was just a dupe and a guinea pig to the sick, power hungry politicians, my viewpoint changed dramatically. I see how nationalistic tendencies destroy people and families, hell, the entire social system; and not just “American” people and families. The sole purpose of the military should be to protect the people, not to engage in endless wars for profit and population control, i.e. defense, not offense. I hope that more and more people start to see the way I do now, not like I used to.

As I write this, we are only one week away from the ultimate in nationalistic holidays (at least for the US), “Independence Day” aka the 4th of July. This is a day to indulge in the orgiastic displays of flags and stars and stripes, of fireworks, hot dogs, apple pie. Parents will put American flag shirts on themselves and their kids. Parties with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs will be had poolside in much of the US. And on this “independence day” I will be thinking of Bradley Manning, the innocent dead civilians of the hundreds of wars fought throughout time, and true freedom from government oppression.

Do mankind a favor and disassociate yourself from the indoctrination of nationalism and join me for Anarchy Day! See Kal Molinet’s site: www.liberateRVA.com he was my inspiration for this! Wear black and display signs of peace for one and all to see!  I know there will be pushback, but keep your thoughts positive and love one and all, especially those that “hate” you! Peace and Love to All!
