The Ridley Report was there to record history in the making as a heroic Manchester liberty activist named Travis sells cannabis openly in a public park, all the while in possession of an “open container”! Have the Keeniacs been out-disobedienced?
Yesterday, this letter to the editor was published in the Keene Sentinel:
An open letter to Sam A. Miller.
I recently read the article in The Sentinel about how Cheshire County “tricked” you into leaving the place you so loved to hate called jail. You had a lovely run there. Three hots and a cot and all the cable TV you could handle. And at no cost to you; John Q. Taxpayer picked up the tab for your new orange threads and your lovely view of the beautiful area of Westmoreland.
No doubt you’re unemployed and are collecting one or more forms of benefits from the very government you denounce, so you really have no idea what it’s like to pay your taxes and see your tax dollars wasted on someone like you.
You refuse to sign a paper releasing you from jail, but then complain that you are being held unjustly and without cause. I am a fellow freedom lover myself, being a Republican, but you, sir, have embarrassed even your fellow Free Staters.
You pollute the downtown with your protests and makeshift signs made from construction paper and magic marker. I know you are longing to be guilty of something so I am going to pass down this judgment in hopes that the matter will be settled and you will stop bothering the good people of this town, county and state. You are guilty of stupidity, and the very thing you are guilty of is also your punishment … a life sentence.

My Response to William Chaffee Junior’s Open letter, (more…)
In protest of government people’s continued aggression against peaceful human beings, I decided to pay the latest Keene property tax bill, over $2700, in all ones. I brought pizza to share with those who were inconvenienced, gave a short speech, and Sam from the Obscured Truth Network brought his video camera. As usual, the bureaucrat aggressors did not like the cameras:
This has been a great week, and it’s only going to get better. First this week, Pete Eyre and Jay Talley of Motorhome Diaries showed up in Keene to begin their new project of the same name, and were welcomed by over 25 liberty activists at Social Sunday at Vendettas. Our once meager and less populous gatherings are becoming a thing of the past, as more and more activists make their way to the liberty activist hot spot, Keene, New Hampshire. That said, these two newly arrived activists are a juggernaut to be reckoned with in their badass Motorhome and powerful message of Liberty. No greenhorns to the movement, their experience can only serve to attract more and more of the talent and dedication we need to push back against the every encroaching tyranny of the State.
Now that said, I’d like to address some recent city politics and what I feel will be the appropriate response. (more…)
The city councilors voted to steal some homes this week, so liberty activists turned out in record numbers as callers to WKBK’s “Talkback”, a show hosted by two councilors, Cynthia and Paula. This is the best episode so far. Activists pack the phones and when the statists get through all they have are their usual ad hominems and whining. Cynthia is clearly shaken by so many people pointing out that she and the other councilors were stealing, however steadfastly denies it by saying that it’s not stealing because it’s the law! Listen and be amazed, then mark your calendar for 9a-12p on Saturdays to join us for another listening and calling session in the Free Keene Chat and on-the-air on the Liberty Radio Network.
According to the Sentinel, four homes are scheduled to be stolen by the violent, monopolistic gang calling themselves the City of Keene. These families aren’t protesting taxes, they just can’t afford to pay them in the troubled economy. The city’s response? They are choosing to proceed with stealing the homes from these people and kicking them into the street.
If you’ve been listening to the Talkback archives here on FreeKeene, you know that city councilor Cynthia Georgina has until this point refused to believe that families will be tossed out of their homes for nonpayment of property taxes. Now she can no longer deny it, as the Sentinel reveals the ugly process that will happen to you too if you don’t pay the gang: (more…)
