Joe Biden Supporters Attempt to Drown Out Questions By Chanting, “Yes we can!”

Being as liberty activists in Keene already made news by crashing Romney, Santorum, and Huntsman campaign speeches, it was time to give the Democrats their “equal time”. (By the way, Gingerich mysteriously canceled his visit to Keene, likely after his staff heard what happened to his counterparts.) Earlier this week, Kelly Voluntaryist and Graham Freeman made it into an allegedly invite-only Obama campaign event with Joe Biden and attempt to ask questions to bring attention to the new total-police-state policy of “indefinite detention”. In response, some in the surrounding crowd attempt to shout them down by chanting, “Yes we can!”, whenever Kelly or Graham speak:

Keeniacs Successfully Refuse to be Placed in “Free Speech Zone”!

Before Biden arrived at his recent campaign appearance at Keene State College, Free Keene’s Kelly Voluntaryist and Cop Block‘s Graham Freeman were located outside the event as people waited in a long line to gain entrance. Off in the distance was a cordoned-off area where people with signs were standing, obediently. Kelly and Graham proved that in order to be free, you have to claim it and exercise your rights. They refused to enter the free speech zones, and the government goons backed down! Dave Ridley reports:

Julian Heicklen Expatriates

News has broken today that fully informed jury activist Julian Heicklen has fled the country to avoid a pending warrant out of Santa Ana, California, where he is wanted yet again for distributing educational fliers on the rights of jurors. On May 22, Julian is said to have been granted Israeli citizenship at customs. It is unclear whether the eighty year old pamphleteering pioneer plans on returning to the United States. Freedoms Phoenix has the story.

Prison System Protest

Jail protestMonadnock region liberty activist and newer mover Emberlea McCulligh blogs about one of our recent jail protests:

On May 20th, 2012 I attended Social Sundays put on by the Free Keene folks and that was followed by a protest outside of the Cheshire County Jail in Keene, NH. Myself, Ian Freeman, Paul Hassler, Chris Cantwell, David Crawford and Julia all took up signs and took to opposite sides of Highway 101 to protest the prison system. We currently have two friends and civ dis fellows in the Cheshire Co Jail, sarcastically called the Keene Spiritual Retreat Center! Derrick J. Freeman is facing up to 105 days in jail for victimless crimes and Beau Davis is in for 31 days for possession of an illegal substance (another victim of the War on Drugs). We received a generally good response from folks driving by. Only one car yelled at us negatively. He called us “Fucking Commies”. That made me laugh! This person obviously knows nothing about what we or the communists stand for. His ignorance is not only contemptible but incredibly sad. I have had heated discussions with people over the War On Drugs because I find it to be a waste of money and it destroys the economy, the family and society as a whole. Decriminalize all drugs now! I also advocate for the nullification & peaceful, nonviolent civil disobedience of bad laws. Every day each one of us breaks at least three laws with zero knowledge. How can a society live this way?

Pending: Coverage from the NATO Protests in Chicago

After a 27 hour journey with activists from around Massachusetts and New Hampshire, early yesterday morning we arrived in the windy city. Expending almost every battery for the recording devices that I own, there is now upwards of 14 gigabytes of video, image, and audio files waiting to be processed. Throughout the day I filmed scenes from a scheduled rally in Daley plaza (where a cell phone jamming device was being used), an unpermitted march throughout downtown Chicago, and an evening assembly in Grant park. The Chicago Tribune has published photos from Friday’s festivities. Today crowds are expected to continue swelling. Here’s a juxtaposition preview of some of the coverage you’ll soon be seeing at Free Concord. The first image was a much more common sight than the second.
