Activist-Run Fitzwilliam B&B Makes News For Accepting Bitcoin

BitcoinBitcoin-accepting, activist-run businesses are making more headlines in New Hampshire! Not long after the Union Leader’s feature story, the Concord Monitor follows-suit with a similar story that features Fitzwilliam’s “Stone Farm” Bed & Breakfast!

Here’s the piece from the Monitor’s Annmarie Timmins:

BitcoinMultiple Free State Project participants are interviewed for this feature story in the Union Leader all about businesses in NH that are accepting bitcoin!

Drop Amanda BillyRock’s Charges Immediately

This weekend I learned that a member of my community was arrested. Being naturally curious and a reporter for and about my community, I investigated. Countless people have messaged me asking for more information. Well, Ian beat me to it and published this blogpost detailing what he learned. I called the prosecutor, “Jim” Sawyer (603-524-2330) to ask him to drop the charges for these victimless crimes.

Let this serve as a reminder: Most of us are just one mis-step away from formal incarceration. It can happen as easily as getting pulled over, and BAM! 5 charges that will ruin your life. Is this the world you want to live in, or are you going to do something to change it? Creating a free society requires courage to think, speak, and act for yourself.

Render Unto Obamacoin

2013_12_13_obamacoinA new twenty-nine minute art film to be aired on Cheshire TV has premiered on the AquaKeene youtube channel. Render Unto Obamacoin takes an anthological approach to the hefty subject of Obama Coin. In this new age of competing digital currencies, the old method of physical storage of material value reaches its bottom in the popular wave of Obamacoins that swept the market in some areas of the american united states following the forty-fourth commander-in-chief’s installment. The federal reserve coins painted gold and plastered with stickers of Barack Obama’s profile sold for a significant factor more than their face value after appearing on disturbing television infomercials. Render Unto Obamacoin explores themes of consumerism and youth exploitation in political propaganda over the course of its twenty nine minute runtime. Share your favorite currency, including Obamacoin, with a loved one this December festivals season. All content featured in the film was sourced from YouTube and released to the creative commons of the world.
