In Defense of Amateur Journalists

Since it was posted the day following the New Hampshire primary, a video by a watchdog group showcasing exploits of election security has reached over 350,000 views. I remember seeing several friends sharing the video on Facebook, and although I didn’t find it stimulating enough to watch from start to finish (it needed more editing for my taste), I found it to be an interesting piece of investigative journalism bound to start some heated debate over election security.

The video is briefly prefaced with text stating, “If a person walked in to vote in the 2012 New Hampshire Primary, and said the names of multiple DEAD people…Could he receive a ballot to vote without showing any ID?” “© Project Veritas” is watermarked on the screen. If you watch for the entire ten minutes, you’ll see the same scene repeated multiple times. A man walks into a polling location wearing an inconspicuous camera on his person. He says, “Do you have a (name) on your list?” When asked to confirm the address and party registration, he says, (more…)

State v. Live Free Or Dance

This is the full video of my “Live Free Or Dance” trial. For those unfamiliar, This summer I was caged for having a dance party in Keene Central Common. Now I face 2.5 years behind bars unless I can convince a Jury to let me be free. As always, I am looking for constructive criticism from law-loving types. To see copies of all the papers on my defendant’s table, visit LiveFreeOrDance.com/Court.

The video is 3.5 hours, so if you’d like to skip around, it may be helpful to use this previous post as a guide to what happens when.

If you are the victim of state aggression and charged with a victimless crime, I urge you to NOT take the plea deal. Learn why I refuse and why you should too by clicking below:

Londonderry Cops Deceive Man, Rob Him of 20 Lbs of Hashish

According to WMUR TV, a Keene man and his associate were busted trying to pick up a package full of hashish at a UPS facility. The deceitful police even posed as UPS workers to make the bust. (Yes, this is the same department that threatened Ademo at the airport on Friday.) UPS should be ashamed for assisting in this and the police also for being so slimy and aggressive. Now the police have 20 pounds of hashish to smoke and sell and the peaceful men who went to make the pickup are facing prison sentences:

Two men were arrested in Londonderry last week after attempting to smuggle drugs in a package sent via UPS, police said.

Investigators said the drugs were hidden in an inflatable boat.

Police said they were wearing the traditional UPS brown uniforms when they went in to make the arrests. (more…)

Banned for No Reason

Listeners of FreeTalkLive are familiar with the court orders some of the Keene liberty activists have received banning them from being on Superior Court property without explicit permission from Sheriff Foote himself. Apparently, singing qualifies as “harassing.” Decide for yourself who these public servants are serving. Activists have already agreed that they will not be asking permission to enter the courthouse to conduct their business with public officials. Should they be arrested, they will NOT be taking a plea deal. To find out why, click below:
