If you’ve seen the recent videos of courtroom oppression, you already know there’s a crackdown on the free press here in NH. Videographers are being refused entry into district courts across NH! A couple of years ago, begging (asking permission) to video in court was successful. However, when the violent monopoly (government) saw that the videos were helping showcase liberty activists’ successes in court, they started to crack down on cameras in court. In response to the restrictions, Dave Ridley notified the court he’d be disobeying their ban on panning a camera in court. Keene District Court’s judge Burke quickly reassessed his court rules and allowed Dave to pan and silently allowed several activists to bring recording devices in court to document Nick Ryder’s successful refusal to pay a speeding ticket. It seemed freedom was winning.
Footage from both Keene and Milford district courts reveal a pattern of official oppression of the supposed right to a free press as cameramen are consistently denied access to alleged “public” places and proceedings. Also, see Sam’s video below for more evidence filmed this week. Here’s the footage:

“Like cocaine, Ritalin is a powerful stimulant that increases alertness and productivity. Ritalin and cocaine also look and act the same. Both have a similar chemical structure, and both increase dopamine levels in the brain. They do this by blocking a dopamine transporter protein responsible for the reuptake of dopamine at the synapse.”
“Ritalin is not addicting when taken as prescribed by doctors. Why this difference between Ritalin and cocaine? Ritalin is a pill that you swallow, so the drug takes longer to reach the brain. Cocaine is taken in high doses by injection or snorting. It floods the brain quickly with dopamine, which makes it dangerous and addicting.
Unfortunately, Ritalin is quickly becoming a drug of choice for teens. It’s relatively cheap and accessible. And because it’s a prescription drug, it’s perceived to be safe. But if Ritalin is abused (taken in high doses) or taken improperly (by injection or snorting), it can be just as addicting as cocaine. This is because drug delivery methods can influence the addictive potential of a drug. ”
The War on Drugs has been a success. It has done what was intended: growing the size and scope of the government, militarize local law enforcement and injecting into local law enforcement tendrils of federal influence via funding. (more…)
On the ride over to Concord (for the DMV hearing pertaining to Lauran) some fellow liberty activists and I spotted a City of Keene police cruiser speeding along Route 9 in Hillsborough. As you can see in the video, the driver is obviously concerned about the safety of the drivers around him with his excessive speed, tailgating, and swerving. The video is narrated so it’s best you watch it, since I’d just be repeating what’s said.
Later at the DMV hearing, I couldn’t hide the large smirk on my face. The DMV bureaucrat claimed Lauren endangered the safety of other drivers on the roads, because of her disobedience to the law, not because she actually posed a threat or hurt anyone. Double standards? Hypocrisy? I think the answer is quite clear and exposes the state of the current social order. On a side note, there were no City of Keene police officers present at the hearing for Lauren so the end destination of this cruiser is still unknown.
Here is part Two of the my piece on banking, gold standard, and the Fed.
PART TWO: THE UNITED STATES, THE GOLD STANDARD AND CENTRAL BANKS – A BITTER MENAGE A TROIS
The first coins to be struck in the New World, the Spanish dollar, were pressed at a Spanish mint in Mexico City in 1536. (MBFR) These silver coins eventually found their way up to the English colonies on the eastern coast of the North American continent. The mercantilist policies of the British Crown deliberately tried to keep precious metals out of the colonies, fostering a dependence on Bank of England notes and the debt they inherently carried. In light of such policies, the Spanish dollar became the unofficial currency of colonial America. For smaller transactions, the Spanish dollar was often divided into eight pieces termed bits, hence the term “pieces of eight.”
The American governments first foray in to the realm of paper money came with the Revolutionary War and the need to fund it. Continental dollars, with no standard of value to back them, were printed out of thin air and at such a rapid rate that the currency quickly depreciated to no value. In 1781, at the height of the Revolution, Philadelphia merchant tycoon Robert Morris was given a charter by Congress to establish a privately run central bank. That institution, the Bank of North America, was granted the monopoly privilege to print and issue paper notes, and was the depository of all congressional funds (Rothbard, “The Case Against the Fed” p.70).
