Dave Ridley of RidleyReport.com has put together a great summary of today’s tyranny at Keene District Court, including footage shot by some unknown videographer of the actual arrest. Had the bailiffs and cops known about the other videographer, they’d have likely arrested that person. The Keene Police Department sent four cops (plus the three bailiffs already there) out to handle these radicals who wanted to record in a “public” court with their so-called freedom of the press. Here’s the video:
Here’s my interview with Dave after his arrest. In two parts due to technical difficulties:
Part 1:
Part 2:
P.S. These two were originally streamed live at our new Live Streaming Video page. You can see the activism when it happens!
Actually, Dave Ridley from RidleyReport.com was arrested for recording in the lobby – he never made it in the courtroom. He streamed it live to the internet so the cops couldn’t delete it. He was released later with a demand he appear later in April to be arraigned on their favorite charge for activists, “Disorderly Conduct”. Here’s the video of his arrest, which was witnessed by well over 20 liberty activists. Who can honestly say there is freedom of the press in America?
This is an email between myself and one of the Keene, NH city councilors, Cynthia Georgina, who runs a local radio show on Saturday mornings called Talkback. It’s an interesting look into the reality of so many who believe in government, and the misunderstandings that keep them from embracing the principles of liberty. I recently shared one of my favorite movies, and this story is the discussion that resulted.

First off, Sam, thanks for “Pleasantville”. We finally watched it Friday night. . . .As I said, I’ll donate the DVD to the Keene Public Library so many other people can enjoy it if you don’t want it back. Anyway, we both enjoyed the film. I’m sure there’s some relevance to the Free State movement, and I really didn’t “get” that. But it was enjoyable!
Pleasantville is a story about change and how people choose to respond to change. The parallels to the FSP for me are numerous. Let’s explore the movie a bit and see if I can point out a few observations and correlations for you:
Have you ever tried to describe color to someone who only knows black and white? What method would you use to explain red to someone who only knows shades of light and dark?(more…)
Jesse, recently arrested in the Milford courtroom for refusing to remove his hat, and Charlie, arrested for asking about the hat rule in the courtroom lobby, were both found guilty on Wednesday of disorderly conduct. However, no punishment was required because they were both sentenced to “time served”, which would be the 4 hours they were held on the day they were arrested.
Jesse, apparently not wishing further conflict with courtroom dress codes, wore a suit to trial and followed the court’s desired procedure throughout. Charlie, while following procedure, also went with questions to ask of the court and officers.

“Like cocaine, Ritalin is a powerful stimulant that increases alertness and productivity. Ritalin and cocaine also look and act the same. Both have a similar chemical structure, and both increase dopamine levels in the brain. They do this by blocking a dopamine transporter protein responsible for the reuptake of dopamine at the synapse.”
“Ritalin is not addicting when taken as prescribed by doctors. Why this difference between Ritalin and cocaine? Ritalin is a pill that you swallow, so the drug takes longer to reach the brain. Cocaine is taken in high doses by injection or snorting. It floods the brain quickly with dopamine, which makes it dangerous and addicting.
Unfortunately, Ritalin is quickly becoming a drug of choice for teens. It’s relatively cheap and accessible. And because it’s a prescription drug, it’s perceived to be safe. But if Ritalin is abused (taken in high doses) or taken improperly (by injection or snorting), it can be just as addicting as cocaine. This is because drug delivery methods can influence the addictive potential of a drug. ”
The War on Drugs has been a success. It has done what was intended: growing the size and scope of the government, militarize local law enforcement and injecting into local law enforcement tendrils of federal influence via funding. (more…)
Normally I’d advise avoiding politics, but this is a pretty big opportunity to send a message to the Feds and show the strength of the liberty activist community in NH. -Ian

WHAT: Rally in support of HCR6
WHEN: 8:00 AM, Wednesday, March 4th
WHERE: NH State House, 107 N Main St., Concord [ Map ]
WHY: The Federal government has gone far enough. We need to draw a line in the sand. If there is further egregious, serious disrespect of the US Constitution by the Federal government, then New Hampshire must reclaim its sovereignty. See the interview on Glenn Beck here; longer interview here.
WHO: YOU! Not “somebody”. Not “those people”. YOU!!
HCR6 came out of committee with a surprise “Inexpedient to Legislate” recommendation.
For those that remember it, this is a replay of the resistance against the bills to get NH out of Real-ID. This is unacceptable. Fortunately, we have a playbook. We know what it takes to move this forward: MASSIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT!
ACTION ITEMS BEFORE THE RALLY:
1. Email or call your State Reps. Simply, courteously, ask them to support HCR6 when it comes to a vote. Their contact info is here
2. Contact the Speaker of the House, Terie Norelli, terie.norelli@leg.state.nh.us or (603) 271-3661 and ask her to support HCR6 when it comes to the full legislature for a vote
3. Pass this info along to everyone you know
