Back in 2011/2012 I posted at length here on FreeKeene.com about a case I was working on: State v. Jason Talley.
In that case a judge illegally ordered the arrest of a citizen journalist, Ademo Freeman, for literally asking questions about public policy and its enforcement… some of the most protected speech under the 1st Amendment. The judge lied to court bailiffs to have him arrested.
The Sullivan County Attorney at the time, Marc Hathaway, engaged in a word salad game to “clear” the judge of any criminal liability, but before that other high ranking judges in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch enacted rules restricting the state AND federal constitutions so that one of their own would never be embarrassed like that again.
I was interviewed by a now New Hampshire State Senator about this.
Now, Robert L. Lamontagne, who served nearly a decade in the state prison for a crime he never should have been convicted of, without a fair trial, is facing contempt charges for posting some “sealed” information.

I have been absent from posting about this case for several months now as I have withdrawn as Mr. Lamontagne’s non-lawyer representative in the Cheshire County Superior Court. I did this because after specifically warning Rob not to violate a court rule, he went ahead and did just that… violated the court rule.
This violation put me in a position where I had to report his conduct to the State of New Hampshire OR I myself could get in trouble. It really broke my heart to have to do it… but I did. Now the State of New Hampshire is coming after him in a hearing I’ve been subpoenaed to on October 14th 2025 at 2:30PM in the Cheshire County Superior Court.

Ian Freeman committed no crime, but that hasn’t stopped the corrupt court system from sentencing him to nearly a decade in prison.
On July 29, 2025, a three-judge panel of the First Circuit federal Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the criminal convictions and incarceration of libertarian Bitcoin activist Ian Freeman, who I have steadfastly maintained is an innocent man who federal officials railroaded into an 8-year prison sentence, which he is now serving.

Free Stater led protest outside Manchester city hall against a draconian anti-american anti-granite stater ordinance that led to a city inspector sending a threatening letter to a man canning and giving away pickles
In the suppsoedly free state of New Hampshire free staters from accross New Hampshire came out to protest and support a man attacked by the health department this past Tuesday. As the Executive Director of the Free State Project stated in a newsletter sent out to free staters: “In the Free State, we do not abide even the small tyrannies”.
The City of Manchester is challenging the right of residents to give away homemade foods, specifically pickles. Recently, a man named Daniel Mowery received a “cease and desist” letter from the city health department. This letter ordered him to stop distributing his homemade pickles and stated that he needs a permit and a commercial kitchen license to continue. Mowery, who has been canning food since he was 20, gives away his creations for free, only accepting money when a friend offered it as a thank you. The health department threatened him with fines and legal action if he did not comply.

Venice.ai is one free stater’s superior alternative to Big AI, but using it won’t be enough. Here’s what else you can do.
As some of you may be aware, there is a menacing new term in the English vocabulary: “P(doom).” P(doom) is the projected likelihood that artificial intelligence will wipe out humanity or at least civilization. Etherium founder Vitalik Buterin’s P(doom) is 10% as of 2024, presumably 90% confident of a tolerable outcome. Big AI whistleblower Daniel Kokotajlo has a P(doom) of 70%. Mine has risen to 25%.
Kokotajlo claims his high P(doom) number stems from a lack of sufficient “alignment prioritization.” AI alignment is the extent to which a given intelligence aligns its actions with the general well being of humans. Terminator’s Skynet would probably have an alignment rating around 10%, Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000 around 80% and Star Treks’ Commander Data perhaps 99%. Kokotajlo says the companies most likely to achieve superintelligence are recklessly under-focused on alignment…and many AI experts believe him. The safety these top companies do focus on seems to be more about shielding snowflakes from having their feelings hurt than from having their civilization disemboweled.

Mama Maria’s Gyros Opens In Keene
Mama Maria’s Gyros and More opened this week In Keene, New Hampshire. Mama Maria & her food truck is permanently situated at 85 Emerald Street and will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11am – 3pm and from 5pm – 8pm.
When I inquired about the unusual hours Mama Maria stated that she was following a trend in downtown Keene. Apparently many restaurants are now closing during the day and re-opening in the evenings.
Mama Maria’s adds to the growing list of convenience stores, restaurants, dentists, doctors, and other establishments taking cryptocurrencies in Keene, New Hampshire. Over the past decade many new businesses have come onboard with accepting cryptocurrencies and goldbacks. Despite a rocky handful of years with various restaurants and other businesses going under due to governmental policies and restrictions on operating Keene has remained a tiny bastion of freedom and peace when it comes to businesses taking non-government pro-peace currencies.

After a thorough review of the court transcript independent and renowned lawyer Jacob Hornberger speaks out on the travesty of the prosecution of Ian Freeman
Renowned lawyer Jacob Horberger, founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) attended the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival this summer to present a speech on his legal analysis of the Ian Freeman case.
Ian Freeman was arrested in 2021 for the ‘crime’ of selling Bitcoin. In spite of the legal advise, few vending machines operated by him and the Shire Free Church, a complete lack of evidence connecting Ian to the supposed crimes, and more a prejudicial jury found Ian Freeman guilty on 8 counts and 4 charges. These included: Unlicensed money transmission, money laundering, conspiracy to launder, and 4 counts of tax evasion (one for each year of the federal government’s investigation).
Under cross examination the governments leading witness testified that she couldn’t confirm that Ian Freeman owed anything at all. Taxes that is.
