Keenevention Announces Controversial “Peace Roundtable”

peace_roundtableOne of the most divisive issues among liberty-minded activists is our means. Is peace attainable through violence or is peace the only way? Does self-defense against aggressive state agents just make matters worse for future activists? These questions and more, including yours, will be on the table Sunday morning at Keenevention 2013. The “Peace Roundtable” features Derrick J Freeman, Ian Freeman, and Chris Cantwell. You won’t want to sleep in and miss it!

The Keenevention site and Facebook page have been announcing many panels and speakers. Only a fraction of which I have posted here. Please visit Keenevention.info for all the details on what’s happening!

See the full event schedule here. You can get your tickets now to Keenevention for $50 for the whole weekend!

Keene, NH 2013 Municipal Primary Election Results

Keene held a municipal primary on October 8 because a municipal ordinance says if there are more than 2 candidates for Mayor or a Ward Council seat, or more than 10 candidates for At-Large Council there shall be a primary. There were 11 candidates for At-Large council, so the City spent approximately $5,000 to remove 1 candidate from the general election ballot.

Ian Freeman survived the municipal primary for At-Large City Council, snagging the 10th ballot spot by a mere 10 votes over Bradford Hutchingson. (more…)

1. Why are you running for political office in Keene?
In a State that prides itself on political involvement, it is somewhat ironic that there are so few candidates for local office. I am running to give the voters a choice. On November 5, voters will have two choices for mayor, had I not filed, they would not have had a choice at all. (more…)

NH Governor Mute on State Police Camera Seizure

New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan was recently ambush interviewed by Dave Ridley multiple times at the same event as she greeted constituents and took photographs with young people. The topic of the interview was the electronics raid exacted on Garret Ean by state police investigator Joseph DiRusso on June 26, which resulted in a 55 day hassan_picakpf1aconfiscation of the device. When the camera was returned on August 19, it had some minor vandalism scribbled on the underside by unknown agents of the state.

Throughout the entire video, the governor of New Hampshire does not once seem to so much as acknowledge Ridley’s presence. After the chief politician is back in her vehicle, Dave turns his camera to her driver, asking if it’s appropriate for the state’s chief executive to ignore the state’s number two most popular youtube channel. He follows his boss’ lead and 2013_06_26_dirussohandalso gives the journalist nothing but a silently bowed head. Maggie Hassan has also been evasive with independent media in the past, including when the topic of the ambush interview asked the newly-inaugurated Hassan about NH independence.
