For those of you who don’t know me, allow me to introduce myself.
I moved to Keene in 2004 with my wife of 16 years and two children, now 7 and 8.
I have owned the same home in Keene since moving here. I attend Grace Evangelical Free Church in Spofford, am a DC-10 captain for an international charter airline, home-school our active children and play drums and other musical instruments.
I also serve as the president of the Free State Project.
Over the past several weeks, numerous news articles and opinion pieces have mentioned the Free State Project. I’d like to offer facts and opinions that I hope will shed light on the subject from an angle not yet covered. (more…)
Liberty activists called WKBK’s “Talkback” on the last two Saturday mornings and discussed planning boards, paint colors, parking fines, government, Somalia, rules, getting from here to a voluntary society, and the Community Kitchen.
Grab the archive. This Saturday the 13th, I’ll be in as a guest for the 11:30-Noon segment!
Please join us for our weekly listening, chat, and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Free Keene Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
Debates regarding the circumstances under which the secession of a town, city, county, state or region from a larger “entity” are potentially interesting, although I would imagine that any enemy of the FSP would welcome the project’s members waxing verbose about the North’s engagement with the South in our Civil War being essentially evil. Arguing on behalf of a region’s supposedly inalienable right to treat human beings as chattel (while making the childish analogy between said chattel and American citizens in our time) on the basis of the sanctity of property rights is probably not a winner, folks. Unless you are actually 1) trying to undermine the movement, or 2) fundamentally non-serious and more inclined towards attention-getting stunts and rhetoric. Sorry.
Well-meaning Americans like Ann have been seriously misinformed. It wasn’t necessary to fight wars to abolish slavery in other parts of the world. (more…)
One early morning this past weekend in Keene, NH, the statue of the Civil War Union thug at Central Square was adorned with a upside-down American flag and two signs reading, “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS” and “FREE SAM DODSON AND ANDREW CARROLL”. Odds are very good this story never made it to the Sentinel or WKBK and reports say it took a fire truck and the police to remove the Union killer’s new accessories. Here’s the proof it happened: Perhaps the history buffs that love a statue worshiping men who blindly killed their fellow man at the orders of a power-crazed madman (Lincoln didn’t free the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, contrary to what you may have been told in govt high school.) should take this statue for their private collection. It’s an embarrassment to Keene and should come down when we secede, as it is nothing more than a symbol of arbitrary power and depravity. The Civil War wasn’t about freeing slaves as much as it was forcing people who didn’t wish to be in an organization (the union) to participate. Little has changed, except the plantation has gotten larger and we are all on it. It’s time for the slaves (us) to realize their situation, speak the truth to our fellow slaves, and refuse to obey. (Preferably here in NH and in Keene) (more…)
The Competitive Enterprise Institute has selected a moderate Republican, Lee Doren, as the new Crasher-in-Chief of Bureaucrash. The ongoing miniseries about the new direction of Bureaucrash in a not so bureaucracy-crashing direction continues. Sorry for the delay. My life is going in a good direction but is in a transition phase right now that makes things very hectic.
Stay tuned for the third, and probably final episode in this series! Bring personal lubricant for your own safety.
Mark your calendar. A trial has been scheduled for Sam on 6/15 at 1:30pm in Keene District Court. (2nd Floor, 3 Washington St., Keene, NH 03431)
Word is Ivy sent notice to the city manager and council as well as some other bureaucrats to let them know they will be held liable under some federal code about deprivation of rights (USC 1983) for every day they have been complicit in holding Sam. A couple of days later, a trial has been magically scheduled.
