Something I’m coming to terms with is that not everyone knows about precious metals (heck I didn’t, it’s confusing and took me years). In fact, it seems a large number of people prefer paper money to gold or silver (I understand this). Yet, some of these same people wear gold or silver jewelry, jewelry they paid alot more for in relation to the value of the precious metal in such piece. Therefore I wanted to take a moment to share a few thoughts about Silver and end with a video series called “The Silver Bullet and Silver Shield” (SBSS) by TruthNeverTold on YouTube. Hopefully after reading my perspective and watching SBSS you’ll have a better understanding why everyone should incorporate silver into their lives.
Why Silver?
First and foremost, it’s REAL money, sorry, paper money is not real money (as in it holds no greater value than any other piece of paper). More so, all Federal Reserve Notes lose value due to the sheer number that have (and are being) printed – this is calledinflation. You cannot print silver (or gold for that mater) at whatever rate you want and since silver can be used for a number of things it always has value.
Second, paper money (like Federal Reserve Notes) bare no promise of any payment, other than the actual paper value. This means that if people (any large number of people- like another country) decide to stop using paper money (because too much of it has been printed) then the value would of said paper money would be zero. You couldn’t even sell or trade paper money for scratch paper, it would be worthless and you would be stuck with it.
Nowhere in the Federalist Papers or New Hampshire’s own historic documents did I ever read that one of the powers the various founders of government intended be vested in government officials was the ability to imprison people for asking polite and respectful questions. Unfortunately for all good judges in New Hampshire (and I’ve seen quite a few), Judge Burke got caught on camera lying to have that done.
If I were to be standing trial for something civil or criminal in Keene, NH and Judge Edward Burke were assigned to my case, I would have serious questions about his ability to be fair and impartial.
I am not a lawyer, so this shouldn’t be viewed as legal advice. I’d ask you please view this as a suggestion on how I would protect my own rights from an enormously powerful government official.
Keene activists can always use new marketing ideas. Here’s a good one, presented by former Keeniac Rocco Fama at AltExpo X (with an interlude about the occupy movement): See the videos
Former City Councilor Cynthia Georgina offers some tips on where and when to contact Keene elected officials(PDF). It’s been on the City of Keene’s website for a while but with the ongoing “Thanks but no Tanks” campaign to convince the city councilors not to put an armored attack truck on the streets of our community, now is a good time to take Cynthia up on her tips:
A Councilor can expect to get input from constituents. This may happen in the Councilor’s home, via a phone call, or it may happen in a public place when a constituent recognizes the Councilor and wants to discuss a pending matter. It can also come in the form of a letter to the editor of the local paper or a phone call to a local radio talk show.
Now is the time to make your voice heard in opposition to the BEARCAT, armored attack truck. To get you started, here is a list of councilors and their phone numbers:

This is a video of 5 activists rolling into the Keene Police Department on Dec. 6, 2011 with cameras and tickets. They all want their day in court so that they can remind their accusers that there is no victim. (more…)
I was frustrated by some behavior at the last city meeting about Central Square, so I want to suggest a few strategies for wielding more influence at tonight’s meeting, and other meetings in the future. These suggestions are based on both my own experience talking to people and my understanding of the relevant social science research.
1-
Some people at the meeting will be prejudiced against libertarian activists and Juggalos. Why help them exercise that prejudice by advertising your background with your clothing? If you dress more discreetly, these people will be forced to listen to you without prejudice (at least for a little bit).
Dressing nicely and professionally helps, too– it automatically improves your social standing, and encourages people to give more weight to your argument.
2-
Decorum is important. If you break the rules of the meeting– say, for example, by speaking out of turn– that is perceived as rude. When people see that you are being rude and disruptive, they conclude (correctly) that you don’t care about what they have to say, and that you don’t intend to contribute to a productive meeting. Then they stop listening to what you have to say.
If you want your views to be dismissed out of hand, the most effective way to do that is to disrupt the meeting by breaking decorum. (So don’t do it!) See the rest
