On Friday I am commissioning my first ever official “overview” of government misconduct. The presentation will detail my case as to precisely how Keene Circuit Court-District Division Presiding Judge Edward Burke violated state law, the state Constitution, and judicial canons by telling a lie to have someone arrested. A lie that constituted False Reports to Law Enforcement, a crime under state law. A crime that if the exact facts and circumstances were brought before him in a criminal case where you did the same thing, he would find you guilty.
I am quite familiar with the crime as I have arrested people and prepared prosecution cases for it before. Judge Burke should have been arrested by now for what he did… but lucky for him, it appears that his friends in government are protecting him.
The presentation I will be burning to DVD and distributing to Governor John Lynch, the Executive Council, and every member of the New Hampshire General Court. Every mainstream media outlet in New Hampshire will also be receiving a copy.
Judicial Canon #2, the code of conduct for judges, reads as follows:
A JUDGE SHOULD AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN ALL OF THE JUDGE’S ACTIVITIES
I presume that includes impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge’s interactions with members of the free press who are asking constitutionally protected questions. Especially when our own Constitution says:
FREE SPEECH AND LIBERTY OF THE PRESS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SECURITY OF FREEDOM IN A STATE: THEY OUGHT, THEREFORE, TO BE INVIOLABLY PRESERVED.
(not taken away in a creative attempt to cover up a criminal offense)
Ian and I took to the streets to ask Keene residents what they think about the Lenco BEARCAT.
I was just reading the comment section on the Ridley Report regarding Keene Circuit Court-District Division Presiding Judge Edward Burke breaking the law and thus far getting away with it. I was very saddened to see the following comment:
I am sending this comment, and every one that is brought to my attention afterwards, to the Cheshire County Attorney and the Administrative Office of the Courts Security Director. Judge Burke may have broken the law, but he also deserves its protection… even if it can be proven that at times he doesn’t afford other people the same courtesy.
Please, if you’re a New Hampshire resident and this upsets you, reach out to your local state representatives and/or state senator. You can also contact the following:

If you see any threats of violence, please, notify the authorities immediately. These things need to be dealt with in a civilized manner.
UPDATE: Unless you’re the authorities, as you’ve already notified yourself (and the public you answer to) that you intend on being violent.
Shame on you.
Keene’s looming threat of the BEARCAT attack truck blows up wider than national with international coverage now appearing in the UK’s Daily Mail.
UPDATE: The story has broken on FARK.com
UPDATE: Daily Kos also has a piece.
UPDATE: Autoblog Canada has a story.
Here.
The only thing Judge Burke needs to be worried about is all the New Hampshire State Representatives I’ve already spoken to about this.
