FSP Haters Release 26 Page Document About the FSP’s Success

by | Nov 2, 2012 | 8 comments

In case you need more proof that the Free State Project is the best chance you’ll have to achieve liberty in your lifetime, some anti-FSP organization has formed and released a 26-page PDF via their website, attacking the FSP, and giving some unintended compliments.

The document mentions civil disobedience, but really focuses on the political successes that FSP participants have had – a real testament to the success of that style of activism.

Clearly working within the system is working here, unlike everywhere else. The politicos have been vindicated, but this document is also proof that there is no safe road. There’s no way to make everyone happy if what you want is to change the status quo.

Looks like we are well on our way on the path Gandhi made famous:

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Love liberty but haven’t made the move yet? Here are 101 Reasons to Move to NH, courtesy the Free State Project.

Power Suppliers Deregulated in NH – Now you have a choice.

I just happened to call Fairpoint to inquire about their DSL speed (an upgrade to 7mbps is now available in Keene for $4/month more) and they told me that energy suppliers in NH have been deregulated, so now you can sign up for different suppliers besides PSNH. (Your power is still delivered and billed by PSNH, it’s just the supply portion of the bill will be provided by Fairpoint Energy.) Fairpoint is offering 10% off the supply portion of your power bill for choosing them: http://www.fairpointenergy.com/

Judges Ruling: Darryl W. Perry vs City of Keene, et al.

I’ve been waiting to make this post, partly because I wanted to make sure it would be the final post about the case.
A Lady Judge, whose name I don’t remember and can’t make out, dismissed the case. It was dismissed after the Hearing on the Motion to Dismiss because the court claims I supposedly “failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.” The Judge did not adress the immunity claimed by the defense, nor did she mention Article 10 which states there are not to be two classes of men.

Her order can be viewed below: (more…)

US Supreme Court to Weigh the Infallibility of Drug Detector Canines

by | Oct 31, 2012 | 2 comments

An article in the Washington Post that has been widely syndicated discusses how the collection of evidence by the use of drug detector dogs will be considered by the united states supreme court. Two cases are pending on the docket, both from Florida, which question the effectiveness as well as the constitutionality of canines for drug detection use. The article cites studies from the University of California at Davis in which 18 police canine teams were sent through a facility and tasked with finding hidden drugs. Though there were no drugs in the facility, 17 of the teams reported alerts. Barry Cooper, former police officer and producer of the Never Get Busted educational film series has discussed his own manipulation of police canines while he was working as one of the most successful narcotics interdiction detectives. Anyone who has owned a dog knows that their life revolves around serving their pack leader. There are no objective standards or testing done of the animals to demonstrate their effectiveness. In a 2005 case, former supreme court judge David Souter stated that the infallible dog “is a creation of legal fiction”.

Last year, the Florida supreme court had thrown out a case from 2006 which featured questionable probable cause for a search after a police dog sniffed and acted playfully. Judge Barbara Pariente wrote: (more…)
