Keene activists made history in 2012 when we stood up against the BEARCAT for the first time ever, as acknowledged by Salon in this excellent piece on police militarization. (Actually an excerpt from Radley Balko’s new book.) The detailed story focuses on the outrage of the insane “War on Drugs” that brought on the militarization of the police in the first place – the specter of “terrorism” has merely furthered those aims. They also focus on the police’s penchant for ruining a good time, like back in 2005 when camo-clad storm troopers raided a Utah rave, even swooping in via helicopter and terrorizing and attacking the peaceful ravers. That, in addition to several stories of a police-state in action paint a detailed picture of the insane situation we find ourselves. Balko’s piece wraps by covering various court decisions further advancing the police state.
It’s a bleak picture. Anyone paying attention for the last decade or two has seen it – a militarized police state is on the rise. What are you going to do about it? Share a status on facebook? For those willing to stand in peace for liberty, the solution is the Free State Project. The cowardly police consider the peaceful free staters to be domestic terrorists – that’s because their legitimacy is in jeopardy thanks to us. Come join the fun!
It’s like deja vu all over again. The last blog I wrote for Free Keene detailed how the MPD had chosen to ignore the constitution in favor of the enforcement of a city ordinance, specifically a park curfew. This time they’re using a zoning ordinance about signs to squelch protest.
Longtime readers of this blog know that the first BEARCAT showdown between the peaceful activists and the militaristic police state was in 2011-2012 in Keene. (more…)
The Concord (NH) PD has applied for a Lenco BEARCAT, according to the Union Leader, the application states “Groups such as the Sovereign Citizens, Free Staters and Occupy New Hampshire are active and present daily challenges,” in addition to organized groups, it cited “several homegrown clusters that are anti-government and pose problems for law enforcement agencies.”
The NHCLU Executive Director Devon Chaffee said, “It’s far from clear to us why an armored vehicle would be necessary to address what are generally, by and large, non-violent movements that in fact provide little or no threat to the security of our state.”
Thanks to Devon Chaffee of the NHCLU, I now have a copy of the application, which is being posted for the world to see! (more…)
AKPF #1 episode 10: Conspiritual breaks new ground with fresh submissions obtained from the official Keene city bureaucrats. The first portion of the program sees Prince John and Jester Mullins take to the floor and lay out their conspiracy delusions for the entertainment of the civilian population. The videos obtained by and aired on AKPF #1 demonstrate a pattern of irrational paranoia on the part of high ranking officials, as CoK agents tipped their hand en route down the rabbit hole by accusing Robin Hood and the Merry (wo)Men of a civil conspiracy. After Prince John relays his account of recent history involving PKD, DMT, and clockwork elves, his jester sends a firm warning to renowned film director Robert Rodriguez regarding his Machete action/adventure series. Also included are updates from rapper Xstrav arrested for drinking iced tea and a trailer for FreeConcord’s Occupied Chicago: The NATO Summit Protest Tapes, which is scheduled to broadcast on Cheshire TV’s mature after-hours programming block soon.

Two days ago we saw the first photographs hit the internet of Joseph T. DiRusso, a secret state police sergeant responsible for stealing Garret’s property one month ago without so much as an explanation why. Now, the edited video of Garret’s brief encounter with the evasive DiRusso — which provided the clear images — is live at FreeConcordTV. All of the raw videos from the day are organized into a playlist at Fr33manTVraw.
