Free Minds TV‘s director, Lauren Canario was arrested by the feds last year for walking down a public road. They stole her camera and she finally got it back a year later. The video she recorded of her arrest was still intact. The Ridley Report presents the footage:
This past weekend I went to the theater to see the newest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. The movie was pretty good, very dark but good. The Joker was played by the late Heath Ledger and I must say he did a great job of getting across the psychosis and madness of the character without going all campy. One metaphor I took from the movie is the fact that government could not solve the problems plaguing the city. It took a private entity, The Batman, to get the job done.
This blog post isn’t about the movie or my weekend but rather something I saw before the movie that I just had to comment on. Call me jaded or cynical but I am always looking for the hidden meaning/agenda behind advertisements and messages in general; it can be quite interesting once you get past the high gloss façade. Most of the time these messages are very obvious and other times, more sinister.
During the preview roll an advertisement came on for the National Guard in the form of a Kid Rock song, co-starting Dale Earnhardt Jr. The song is called Warrior and can be found on Youtube. What follows is my unapologetic critique.
An Olympic caliber haze has China looking to enact more drastic measures to clean up the cloud of pollution in Beijing’s skies. This article goes on to say, “Pollution has been a pressing concern for the Games, as local organizers have promised to hold a ‘Green Olympics,’ despite the air that often ranks among the most polluted in the world.”
I hope that the conditions remain as bad as they are to show the world the truth of everyday Beijing.
I am aware this has little to do with Keene but it speaks to a larger point about how this one current distraction being pawned off on the vapid TV viewing masses is so utterly absurd.
Don’t worry about the wars in the Mideast, we need to fix the planet first.
The environment strikes back.
I called WKBK’s Talkback this morning to discuss aggression and Fred Parsells brought up my parking ticket adventures. We also end up discussing property taxes.
Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details on this forum thread.
In a system where all power is supposedly based on the consent of the governed, where all men are created equally, what happens when one questions the legitimacy and the very nature of government? Watch this video and find out how government solves market needs in a very different way than private companies sseking a profit.
Thanks to Sam from the Obscured Truth Network for this great documentary!

The Presidential Primary season has concluded. This amazing process has yielded the two finest, upstanding citizens this country has to offer. On one hand we have a old grizzled war veteran who would see us in Iraq for a 100 years if need be. On the other hand we have a smooth talking inexperienced young man who speaks of change. One of these two people will go on to be President of the most powerful country in the world. Given the damage that the current President has done to this Country, it’s guiding law the Constitution and the many dead in the Middle East, what can we expect from either of these men?
