In light of my recent TSA encounter, I have received national media attention, including FOX News, Drudge Report, InTouch magazine, and more. Even the TSA published a pair of their own videos, since they had the freedom to do something I was prevented from doing myself – recording. The videos, which lack even the most standard feature(s) of surveillance videos like a time stamp, the ability to show multiple angles of the same area, or even a clear view of one area in general; are supposed to disprove my claims. While everyone is free to determine what they believe to be true, to me this another case of government not giving you the full story. The TSA has continuously been caught in lies to cover the embarrassment of the truth, and this seems to be yet another instance of that, in attempts to misguide attention from the real issue. The biggest question for me is: why is there a large portion of the secondary screening area not shown in either camera angle? An area where much of my incident took place, and where countless others have been taken to be put through a procedure I can only describe as molestation. This should be a concern for everyone.
Thanks to James “Puke” Schmill for donating his time as a photographer to create the high quality Shire Society Declaration documents The document was signed by a number of wonderful activists from Porcfest, with a final few signatures from the Keene area.
It has been said of anarchism/voluntarism—the idea no group can be given greater rights than its members if all members are beings of equal moral nature—that it is the effort to build the first human civilization. (Keene being very much an epicenter of that transformation in human thought.)
Thanks to a liberty activist posting on Facebook a reference to a particular academic presentation, I became aware that a certain speaker (Jeremy Rifkin) at the British Royal Society for the Arts has done a far more credible job articulating that perspective than I could presently hope to.
Further, having done a small spot of research into it myself, I found that RSAnimate also did an excellent exception of the total talk, further encapsulating and better communicating the topic even more so.

“Curious” wrote with the following questions from the Sentinel Middle School Outreach Story:
Now that the Free Keene set, has taken it apon themeselves to do the neighborly thing and creepily now approach our children, I have a few imortant questions Id like to pose at Sam and Ian specificlly. Please answer them directly, no hyperbole or philisophical preamble please. I think everyone reading deserves some straight talk.
Thanks for reaching out “Curious”, sharing ideas is the core of my activism. I along with most others are happy to engage in rational discussion exploring our perspective. Feel feel free to talk with us or ask us questions at these events. We’re friendly and interested in exchanging ideas. (more…)
I sat down with Varrin Swearingen, Media Spokesperson, for the Free State Project at their annual 2010 New Hampshire Liberty Forum to get an update on how the project is going. We cover the wide range of topics that encompass the actions of Free State Project participants who have moved to NH to get active for liberty, including everything from open carry litter pickup events to cannabis celebrations as Varrin explains the underlying freedom message that ties it all together.
