Things are going very well for PeaceNewsNow.com ever since I started the website back in November. I’ve begun a series of podcasts all under the head title “Peace News Now.” You can listen to the latest episode by clicking here. On Sundays, I host a one-hour program called “The Peaceful Resistance Report,” which covers the week’s top stories in the world of peaceful protest. Monday through Friday, I host a 5-minute podcast with a focus on civil noncompliance called “The Daily Peace.” On Saturday, I mix it up with a one-hour program called “As the World Burns,” which features shocking headlines reeking of dystopian nightmare. Here is a sample of Peace News Now:

At the time, I was given a report from the arresting officer, Raymond Tenczar, indicating he believed I was guilty of “disorderly conduct” for allegedly loudly causing a “disturbance” outside of the room in which the city was going to hold a tax sale. If you watch the video of the arrest, you’ll see that I do raise my voice, but only at the time Tenczar places his hand on me to arrest me.
Apparently, the Palmer police and/or prosecutor realized that they had no case for disorderly conduct, and the misdemeanor charge was dropped. More detail on the charge droppage later in this article.
However, they completely changed the circumstances of the charge and the evidence in their case for the remaining town ordinance “disorderly conduct” violation. Now they are alleging that I was “disorderly” in front of the open house, which happened prior to the tax sale. In an unsigned report, allegedly written by Palmer police officer Sean M Ford, he claims I was yelling at the town attorney and attempting to intimidate him. (more…)
