“We are the 99%! We will be heard! There are criminals on Wall Street who walk free, there are protesters in jail…There’s something wrong with this system. We are the 99%! We will be heard!”
He handled it graciously by smiling throughout and then by asking them if they feel better. He was also sure to point out his agreement with the Occupy Wall St. movement, saying,
“I’m very much involved with the 99. I’ve been condemning the 1%…the people on Wall street got the bailouts and you guys got stuck with the bill and I think that’s where the problem is.”
Free Keene TV‘s Michele Seven reports in from Occupy Wall St. and asks why you aren’t there. I support what Michele is doing, but I have enough on my plate here in Keene. The real question, is where are all the supposed New York liberty people? Are they there? If not, why not? I’ll be at Occupy Keene tomorrow. Here’s her blog from facebook:
Well I am sitting in a coffee shop in Brooklyn with a freestate friend who has generously put me up while I am here in NY for the OWS outreach that I have committed to doing since first hearing about this occupation. (more…)
Daily events include lunchtime and afternoon drive protests and a weekly General Assembly at 5:30pm in Central Sq. Other upcoming events include one before Ron Paul’s speech Monday afternoon at Keene State, and a visit from the Occupy Manch folks this Sunday at 1pm in Central Sq.
Attendance at general assemblies have been increasing each week recently with more college kids this week than I’ve ever seen doing any activism in Keene, ever!

It has been several months since I contributed to the Free Keene blog regarding my transition to liberty or my opinions about stuff that is happening in the government world. In fact, my second to last post here was about how I, for the first time in 30 years crawling this planet, got arrested. I was arrested at the US/Mexico border in Nogales, AZ by United States Customs and Border Protection for exercising the 5th Amendment.
Well, I finally got my “arrest report” from the feds (after 4-5 months of notarizing forms, mailing things back and forth, and begging) and it sure looks like they let me off easy for the pure evil I unleashed at the border station. It looks like I misled you in my July blog in that that I failed to mention that I, according to the federal officer who arrested me, murdered one of their co-workers.
Among the two things I “could have been arrested” for were 18 USC 111 and 18 USC 1114. That would be forcibly impeding and murdering a federal officer. Now verbal warnings are given out every day for things like speeding and rolling through a stop sign… but I never imagined I’d get a verbal warning for violating a law that I could get the federal death penalty for. I went straight from never having been arrested or convicted of anything to the lethal injection.
Here’s the report. It is so ridiculous, I believe it deserved its own meme.
Now, having written a police report or two myself, I’ll point some things out that are happening in CBP Officer Aldrich’s weak attempt of a report he came up with.
