I was contacted yesterday by a downtown Keene business owner, Nicholas Sansone, owner of Moda Suo Studio Hair Salon on Main St. Apparently certain members of the city council have proposed an protectionist ordinance that will restrict bars from being opened within so many feet of any existing bar in downtown Keene. Nicholas has created a petition to oppose this ordinance and would like to invite you to sign it. I have signed.
Nicholas has told me that he will be attending the next Social Sunday event to meet up with local activists.

Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback this morning and discussed cutting government, market policing, the violence of the state, so-called disorderly houses, and more. Listen as host and city councilor Paula-Ayn Phillips claims that government aggression isn’t violence! Plus, this week’s featured statist callers claim Free Staters shouldn’t be allowed to call Talkback, challenged activists to do mass civil disobedience, and expressed great frustration at our phone call volume compared to that of the “progressives”.

Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback last Saturday and discussed consensual criminals, Talkback, market solutions, leaf pickup and responsibility, the gun in the room, and lighting. This week’s statist caller included in the archive gives his confused analysis of the liberty movement in NH.
The unfortunate fact is, the authoritarians are still the bulk of call load on this show. We could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details and discuss on this Free Keene forum thread.

Part three in the on-going saga of posting a paper no one wants to read.
PART THREE: THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM – THE MAGICAL MONEY MAKING MACHINE
“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by
those who are not behind the scenes.” – Benjamin Disraeli, English Statesman 1844.
In the preceding pages, a quick sojourn through time has shown the many seemingly innocuous and worthless items that have been used as money. We have also taken a brief jaunt alongside the continued attempts to build a centralized banking regime in America and the subsequent fall of each. In this section, that basic framework becomes the context with which the merits of the Federal Reserve System are called into question. The question was posed in the opening paragraphs of whether or not there should be an all-mighty arbiter that controls the creation and flow of money. That is precisely what the Federal Reserve is.
Llewellyn Rockwell, Dean of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, has a less flattering view: “It’s no different from a burglar in your home wanting to steal your money – that’s what the Federal Reserve does. It depreciates your savings, it takes away your economic security and it ought to be treated as an institution that does that rather than something of alleged benefit.”
