The Opioid Task Force in charge of expediting Representative Amanda Bouldin’s new bill seems to have failed at educating New Hampshire statehouse bureaucrats about the lifesaving substance, Narcan. Because of their ignorance, more lives will be lost to overdose while the paper pushers continue their medicine prohibition.
Bouldin’s first Narcan bill was a success, but the new bill will hasten the end of the Drug War.
Edward Snowden to Keynote Liberty Forum 2016
Now, mainstream media is picking up the news via an AP story (apparently sourced from NH’s Valley News) that is popping up in places like the Washington Post, FOX News, and dozens more outlets nationwide.
With two months to go and other speakers to be announced, the 2016 Liberty Forum is looking like it will be an amazing event.
2016 is also the year that the FSP will reach its goal of 20,000 people pledged to move to New Hampshire to work toward more liberty. The only question is when. Just this weekend, the Free State Project crossed 90% of its goal. In order to push to the goal faster, they’ve launched a fundraising campaign to buy facebook ads. Here’s the pitch video produced by Free Keene blogger JJ Schlessinger:
After ten years of service, Shire Free Church minister Mark Edge is leaving the airwaves of Free Talk Live, where he spent eighteen hours per week on-air creating entertaining radio with a variety of co-hosts and callers.
Now, he’ll no longer be behind a microphone on Free Talk Live and will be spending an indefinite period of time with his family each night. He is leaving it in listeners’ hands to decide when he can return to the show.
Here’s his explanation as to why from Saturday night’s final segment:
In a near-complete victory, James Cleaveland was found not guilty of “resisting arrest” and the jury was deadlocked 6-6 on his “disorderly conduct” charge this week. Here’s the full video of his trial and the pretrial motions:
Are you a libertarian or voluntarist and still haven’t signed up for the Free State Project? Your time is running out to make history with us. The FSP is now at 90% of its goal of 20,000 people pledged to move to NH and get active for liberty. Join at http://pledge.freestateproject.org
Why not go where thousands of libertarians are?
Anarchics host Renee Kate presented this year’s Ladies Panel at Keenevention, that turned out to be the final episode of Seditious Sirens, where she and her selected ladies from the Shire discussed their activism and took audience questions. Panelists included Katie McCall of Stone Manor, Ellen Ball of the Anarchics, and Ann Leverette from Flaming Freedom.

Justin M. Paquette Threatens Innocent Chalkers
Last week I published a story here at Free Keene about local hate group member Justin Paquette being arrested on two counts of felony armed robbery for allegedly holding up two local convenience stores with a knife.
Very soon after publishing, I was contacted directly by a local business owner who disputed that the Justin Paquette that had assaulted my friend Derrick J back in 2014 and was present during a physical attack by his friend on a peaceful local chalker, was in fact not the same Justin Paquette as was arrested last week for allegedly robbing the gas stations.
As soon as I received this information, I updated the article to reflect that it was in dispute. Later, I saw a couple of posts from some clearly-upset people on facebook that I’d mistaken the new Justin Paquette for the old Justin Paquette. Who would have thought a small town like Keene could have two Justin Paquettes and they were both dangerous people who don’t respect property rights?
Justin Paquette (the younger one)
Turns out, there are indeed two Justin Paquettes in Keene. It also turns out, after some research at Cheshire superior court this week, that both Justin Paquettes have been arrested for felony armed robbery.
The original, Justin M. Paquette, just had a birthday this month and is now 32. Court records show that this summer he took a plea deal on a felony armed robbery and misdemeanor “criminal threatening”. You can read the case summary in this PDF, which includes his sentence. (He’s currently out on probation and has a suspended sentence for five years.)
New Justin Paquette is younger, 27, and is now currently facing the fresh armed robbery charges from last week’s robberies, where he allegedly brandished a knife at convenience store clerks.
I am sorry for my mistake. Thanks to all who brought it to my attention. Now we know to beware of anyone named Justin Paquette. Any good person named Justin Paquette may want to file for a name change with their local probate court.
