“Reflections on Civil Disobedience”
One night, later in the week at Porcfest this year I was walking around
and stopped at a campfire. A couple of the faces I had recognized as
people I had met earlier in the week – the rest I did not know. I believe
100% of them were attending their first Porcfest.
Apparently, I was right on cue, as when I approached the fire, some
comment was made about how if Ian Freeman were around, they could ask me.
The individual looked up, saw that the universe had delivered me to their
campfire, exclaimed a pleasant surprise and proceeded to ask: “Why Keene?”
Just prior to my arrival they had been discussing this, perhaps curious as
to why I had not chosen to move to Manchester and also under the
misconception that it was I who started the move to Keene. It’s an
understandable misconception, especially to people who may not have paid
attention to the Free State Project prior to the last year or two. (more…)
Hunter, Beau, Ademo and others gather in Central Square for Jury Nullification outreach. They put on a bbq and handed out flyers to cars that had stopped at the lights around the square.
Greenfield MA jury acquits two Keene men of felony wiretapping charges after they were arrested for filming the police, the dire state of American schools, and 15 states thinking about alternative currencies to compete with the declining dollar.
This video of Beau’s arrest for wearing a hat in court (charged with direct criminal contempt) and the subsequent “right of alocution” hearing shows some important things about the NH liberty movement today. Continue reading after the video for analysis:
The good news: The numbers of liberty-oriented people moving to and getting active in NH are growing, and those willing to take a risk are increasing. There is strength in numbers, and the more of us there are that are willing to laugh at the aggressors as well as noncooperate and disobey, the more they lose their precious legitimacy and control. The robed man in this video, Edward Burke, desperately attempts to flex his power by attempting to clear the courtroom.
The bad news: Burke is largely successful at clearing the court. (more…)
It’s that time of year again…The Hundred Nights Shelter is having a tent drive Saturday, July 9th from 1-6pm. Not only are they collecting things such as tents, sleeping bags, paper towels, duct tape, flashlights, BOTTLED WATER, foot powder, and toilet paper, but throughout the day there will also be many activities. Activities for all ages like face painting; followed by an open mic evening!
I do hope to see our readers down there next Saturday donating to a very worthy cause. This non-government-run shelter relies on donations and fundraisers alone to operate. Even the director and CEO are volunteer positions. Let’s all lend a hand to the hundreds of homeless people, families and children in Keene!
