Sam called Dan Mitchell’s morning show on WKBK this morning. Afterwards, a statist calls to spout unfounded nonsense. Grab the archive.
Also, here’s the archive from last week’s Talkback, which also includes a call from Sam, some statists, and liberty activists discussing violence and morality. Please join us for our weekly listening, chatting, and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Free Keene Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.

On “The Hill” at the Cheshire County Correctional Facility.
The Hill, as they call it, is working on the dairy farm, reportedly owned by the jail. I was wrong in my original assumption. According to the other prisoners, no milk from the farm is used at the jail, and it’s sold at cost. Here’s where i gets interesting. The farm is run by Dave Potnam, a local selectman for Westmoreland. It appears at least on its surface to be another example of government granting monopoly privilege to the bureaucrats’ friends and family – or themselves in this case.
I’m left wondering what his management fee is for a farm that requires no personal investment of his own for equipment, seed stock, facilities, repairs, etc. He gets the benefit of a paycheck – I wonder how much – without any of the risks other farmers take, while getting a never ending supply of free slave labor from the jail.

Will the wonders of the so called NH “Justice” system ever cease? The prosecutor, now the country attorney, is getting really desperate in his attempt to clean up the mess created by Keene District Court security and the Keene Police Department. The demurs clearly show the charges are deficient and suffer fatal flaws. That presents a problem. They have held me in jail for over a month on baseless trumped up charges, and they need to save face. So they picked the weakest two and dropped them. They are also the two even remotely related to the issue at hand – Burke over stepping his authority, and freedom of the press. Government likes to use the court system they designed to control the discussion and obscure anything remotely damaging to their railroading process.
When all else fails, it’s time to use the good old standby, contempt. Look it up in the statutes, and you won’t find it. It’s a magical charge that one tyrant in a black dress used to jail over 35 people overnight when a cellphone went off in “his” courtroom.

Reflecting back on my experience of today, all I can say is “Wow, what an incredible day.” I’ve been reading Marianne Williamson’s book The Gift of Change. It had a pretty strong Judeo-christian undertone to it, which I don’t completely agree with. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the way she expounded on how the ego interferes and prevents us from living our higher purpose. It also gave an analogy on meditation. Williamson says it’s like letting the dishes soak and allowing things to come up, leaving the soul clean and refreshed. She also advocated seeking guidance through meditation. That hasn’t worked for me, as I haven’t heard voices, experienced visions, or anything extraordinary yet. I approach things with a beginner’s mind, so I figured I would give it a try.

I lack the benefit of reviewing my posts, and I don’t remember where I left off. Forgive me if I’m repeating or skipping points, and let’s get back to the work program.
Remember that I’m now in a gymnasium with 27 metal cots – 25 of which are full – one bathroom, no shower, and not much sound absorbing material. It gets very loud at times and the sound echoes around the room. Again, the ide is to acclimate prisoners towards getting out and becoming a tax paying “employee” (a legal term meaning someone who is required to fill out a W-2 and pay their income tax).
Lights are out from 11pm to 7am, but prisoners are working all hours of the day and night. Things are quiet in the morning – TV is kept low and many are sleeping – and starting about 10-11am it gets progressively louder until lock down at 11pm. If you’re working nights, it means the lights are on, the TV is going, and people are talking, all while the night cleaning crew is trying to sleep.
