The April 14 2013 edition of Peace News Now was visually illustrated by Free Concord’s Garret Ean. In Sunday’s program, you’ll hear about the latest on Bitcoin, police accountability issues in Salisbury, NC, and how a recently declassified NSA document might reveal evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Check out episode #95 of the daily newscast produced by superactivist Derrick J Freeman below:
Rich Paul, despite facing 81 years in prison for selling cannabis, has again refused the plea deal. As is mentioned in the “Don’t take the plea deal” flier, refusing an initial plea deal frequently leads to a second, better plea deal. That was the case today at superior court where Rich Paul was this morning for a hearing on some motions. The original plea deal on the table was that he plead guilty to the felonies and receive one year in jail. The new deal, offered this morning, was pleading to the felonies and receive zero jail time. Tempting as it was, Rich heroically refused and will go on trial by jury tomorrow at 9am.

The K(eystone)GB has discovered–better sit down for this–that there are anarcho-capitalist and libertarian young people in that wonderful city.
This morning toward the end of his show on WKBK, Dan Mitchell brought up Robin Hooding, which had been a hot thread on the WKBK facebook page. Here are his comments and the subsequent calls:
Peace News Now #93:
Keene bureaucrats are furious about Robin Hood! Robin Hood of Keene is the most popular act of engagement with the community that FreeKeene has experimented with so far. Robin Hood employs a handful of individuals to feed the parking meters in downtown Keene. They are funded by private donations, usually from people they save. The Robin Hooders leave a type of calling card on the windshields of cars that they rescue, and when people return to see that they’ve been saved, they often donate and “Like” the Robin Hood of Keene Facebook page.
