In a followup to their previous two videos, one published to youtube and another to their official website, the bureaucrats behind the Democratic People’s Republic of Keene have crafted a new video message denouncing a Cheshire superior court judge’s ruling in their lawsuit against the merry people associated with Robin Hood of Keene. The ruling that was handed down on December 3 determined that no civil claims were legally actionable given the protections granted in the first amendment of the US constitution. The judge declined to elaborate on implications which may or may not be granted by the more eloquent NH state constitution.
The new piece of content by the City people is brief and to the point. Commemorating the re-elected person who won the mayor contest, the video also serves as a new year’s update from the officials and to the civilianry that is claimed representative dominion over. Meanwhile in DPRK, Robin Hooding continues unabated.
The people calling themselves the “City of Keene” have officially filed their appeal in the Robin Hood cases. They have also filed a motion asking the NH supreme court to accept amicus briefs in the case from other interested parties, which will likely be various state employee unions, and other state agencies interested in destroying freedom of speech and the press.
A recent Keene city council meeting shows a non-public session where the council appears to have voted 12-0 on a legal issue, presumably this case. Is the city council really in favor of this move by “the city”? How many taxpayer dollars are they willing to lavish on this case before people boot them out of office in the next election?
Usually the court will take a month to docket the case. Stay tuned to Free Keene for the latest on the Robin Hood saga.
Everyone’s favorite National Security Agency whistleblower has released a Christmas message to the people of the world. Cheers!

Hi, and Merry Christmas. I’m honored to have a chance to speak with you and your family this year. Recently, we learned that our governments, working in concert, have created a system of worldwide, mass surveillance, watching everything we do. Great Britain’s George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collections in the book — microphones and videocameras, TVs that watch us — are nothing compared to what we have available today. We have sensors in our pocket that track us everywhere we go. Think about what this means for the privacy of the average person. A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They’ll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves — an unrecorded, unanalyzed thought. And that’s a problem, because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are, and who we want to be. The conversation occurring today will determine the amount of trust we can place both in the technology that surrounds us, and the government that regulates it. Together we can find a better balance, end mass surveillance, and remind the government that if it really wants to know how we feel, asking is always cheaper than spying. For everyone out there listening, thank you, and Merry Christmas.

Melody is a college junior who apparently had heard some rumors about the Free State Project. Rather than believing what she was told, she decided to check it out for herself and went to a meeting of the Concord Porcupines. Here’s her detailed report as posted to her blog:
In Liberty: The Free State Project
“Thank you for contacting the Free State Project and your interest in our efforts to ‘achieve liberty in our lifetime.’” Finally, a response, I say to myself, scrolling though the e-mail. I was getting worried that they didn’t want to be bothered; my e-mail was sent five days ago.
The message was full of basic information; when and where meetings are taking place, links to blog posts and forums, along with what the organization stands for: life, liberty, and property.
“I would suggest going to the Concord Porcupine meeting this coming Saturday. They meet at Tandy’s around noon.” Porcupines? Is that really what they call themselves? (more…)
Yesterday, Darryl W. Perry and I went and paid a visit to the “City of Keene” building and cut them a check for valued services provided, but forbade them from using the money to aggress against peaceful people. Here is a video Darryl shot just after the check was delivered to “the City”:
To our neighbors calling themselves the “City of Keene”:
Greetings! This letter is in response to the letter sent to us on 2013-09-19 by Daniel J. Langille, “City Assessor”. In his letter, Mr. Langille references your society’s statutes (RSAs) and seems to suggest that they somehow apply to the Shire Free Church. The Shire Free Church is not part of your society. Your society is based on coercion, and as a peace church, we cannot be a part of a group that uses coercion against peaceful people. (more…)
