Have you seen those news stories about the US government stealing domain names from people they don’t like? Now, if they do that to us here at Free Keene, you’ll need to use our .bit domain to find us. However, there are a few steps you must take before being able to see .bit domains. Meowbit is an easy-to-use program that allows anyone with a windows computer to access the decentralized .bit domain names. Here’s a guest blog from Meowbit creator Michael W. Dean:
Free Talk Live, the preeminent syndicated liberty radio show, has added a dot-bit mirror, so you can still access the site in case some cranky government control freak ever seizes their domain.
Ian Freeman of Free Talk Live’s site Free Keene also has a dot-bit mirror.

A couple of weeks ago, Free Talk Live host Mark Edge pledged to donate $10 to St. Jude Children’s Hospital for every signer of the Free State Project received by the end of April. I pledged to match his $10, as did FTL listener Michael January. The FSP racked up 52 signers in the timeframe, so now over $1,500 is being donated to St Jude! Thanks to everyone who signed up for the FSP – see you in NH!
In a report by the Keene Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis both reps cite frustrations with the system and their fellow reps. Weed suggests that he’s upset at his fellow Democrats because they won’t get behind other taxes, like an income tax,
“I’m very disappointed with Republicans, but also in the Democrats,” he said. His fellow party members are not willing “to talk about key issues that face New Hampshire … being most important to me, a fair tax structure. They’re afraid to bring it up, or even discuss it, because they think that means you’ll lose the next election.”
Chase also cites frustrations with the atmosphere in Concord,
“I find the situation in Concord frustrating at times. I feel very much like a square peg being forced into a round hole. I just don’t fit the mold up there. I hesitate to point my finger at anyone because it’s not their fault, it’s me.
Naturally, the more liberty-oriented people come here as part of the Free State Project, the more frustrating things will become for those who wish to control others. Already, anti-liberty reps are leaving office because they are having too much difficulty passing increases in government. Now that liberty media like Ridley Report and Free Keene are on their cases and exposing them publicly, that can’t make things very comfortable for them. So, they’re quitting, which is a big opportunity for liberty-loving people to help elect someone more freedom-oriented!
Seamus O’Connor and his wife, Carolyn Hanks have lived in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire for a few years now. Both have claimed participation in the Free State Project, but have also been long time critics of Free Keene bloggers, both belonging to a large “STOP FREE KEENE!!!” group on facebook. On April 23 of 2014, Seamus uploaded a video titled, “Garret”, which consisted of several repeated explicit threats of violence directed at Garret Ean. Beginning the monologue with, “Garret, I’m gonna kick your ass, you mutherfucker…”, the narrator goes on to repeat the “kick your ass” line, interspersed with references to a rough childhood, and expectations of a non-response to such violence by local authorities.

As in Keene, Manch business owners and downtown patrons are upset. However, it appears Manch’s political process has come down to the final vote on the proposal, while Keene’s is already facing major opposition and its process has only just begun. The proposed ordinances have yet to be read to the council or even to the appropriate committee. Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest.
Local computer repair / networking business owner Michael Gordon refuses to take the plea on an “Uninspected Vehicle” charge. Here’s the video from his “pre-trial conference where state trooper Scott Ellis attempts to get Michael to take a plea (that’s essentially the purpose of a pre-trial conference). Michael refuses the plea and so the case will go to trial.
