UPDATE 8/16:
8 people, 8,000 miles across the US in a veggie-powered school bus, 40 days & 40 nights – it’s The New World Manifesto! Some of TNWM are from as far away as Poland, and others as close as Burlington, VT. They have just recently kicked off their tour and one of the first stops was Ademo’s “wiretapping” trial on Monday. I’ll post their video(s) when they are available, but for now here are some of the photos they took and their first blog from NH (they came to Keene to see our community after the trial was over).
From freeconcord.org:
On Monday, Ademo Freeman was convicted of three counts of felony wiretapping after a three hour trial in Hillsborough county superior court, Manchester.

Extensive writeup by Pete Eyre at Cop Block
Preparing for his trial from the Valley Street jail, and spending his lunch break in a cell at the courthouse, Ademo did an excellent job explaining his actions and opening himself to responsibility for them. Unfortunately, he did not present the defense necessary to win over the twelve (likely television-watching) everypersons to understand why his was such a case as jury nullification was intended for. Press and supporters filled the gallery. The judge presented a very relaxed demeanor, a respect for the audience and (some) of their rights, which Cheshire county magistrates have caged individuals over in the past. There were limitations on the press, as only two individuals were permitted to video or audio record despite several requests. Judge Kenneth Brown (more…)
Liberty-oriented representative Mark Warden appeared on Girard at Large on WLMW near Manchester. He discussed the trial of Ademo and the issue of “wiretapping” Here’s the archive.
Warden also headed up a subcommittee hearing in Concord today that heard from the public regarding changing the wiretapping law. Here’s a summary from Aahz on the Shire Society Forum:
The dozen or so “general public” who attended expressed their opinions (essentially: NH should be a 1 party state, Ademo should be pardoned, the way the current law stands we’re all wiretapping everyday).
The sub-committee members seemed very attentive and appreciative of input. (more…)
Tom Knapp at the Center for a Stateless Society has this to say about the Ademo conviction:
“Autoimmune diseases,” per the Wikipedia article on same, “arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells.”
Analogizing from autoimmune disease to political government has its dangers — foremost among them the fact that any such analogy requires us to think of society as a sort of super-organism with its own interests separate from and superseding those of its constituent parts, people — but I don’t think the analogy is a poor one. If there really is such a thing as “the body politic,” the nation-state is to that body as lupus or multiple sclerosis is to an individual human body.
The most advanced stages of the disease are easily identifiable: Mussolini’s “everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state” sums them up rather neatly. (more…)
This is a supplemental addition to the Porcfest Chronicles. Eric Voorhees head up this panel to talk about Bitcoin and answer audience questions about the digital currency. Special thanks to Drew Phillips for the camera work.
