Four Months in Keene

by | Aug 5, 2012 | 2 comments

I moved to Keene four months ago (April 4). Not long after arriving, I wrote a blog post on FR33gents.com titled “I’m Finally Home!”

Since moving to Keene, I’ve added more activism and activities to my plate. In late May, I threw my hat in the ring for Cheshire County Register of Deeds and in June I began blogging for FreeKeene.

Someone on facebook asked “What are your opinions about Keene, so far?”
Overall, Keene is nice small city. I’m originally from a much larger city and had planned to settle in Manchester, however I decided to stay in Keene. As with every place, there are pro’s and con’s and I will do my best to list my opinions without being too harsh or critical.

Pro’s

High concentration of freedom minded people
There is almost always an event
Most places in Keene are within walking distance
Anyone looking for work can find work!
There are many other reasons posted here

Con’s
Most of the activism is planned and carried out by a small handful of people.
Most activists will either do only in-the-system and outside-the-system activism.
Keene’s only art museum is on the college (which I’m banned from).
I work an hour away from Keene. I realize I could look for other employment, which is something I may do shortly.

All in all, I’m happy with my decision to move to Keene and hope to continue participating in both in-the-system and outside-the-system activism.

CNN’s iReport Covers Ademo’s Pending Trial

by | Aug 4, 2012 | 0 comments


Ademo Freeman continues to attract more eyes to his case. Yesterday a letter from him transcribed at nevertakeaplea.org was published. He affirmed that he would not be accepting a plea deal to safely avoid jail or prison time, and that he will trust a jury of his peers not to convict him for his victimless attempt to create transparency.

…by the time this is published to CopBlock.org and other blogs, I’ll have refused Michael’s offer and here’s why. First, I can’t go against my principles and sign a deal that says I acknowledge my actions as wrong or illegal. Second, I’m not a hypocrite. How can I advocate refusing plea deals and sign one myself? I don’t judge anyone who has taken pleas because each case/charge is different. Third, I am confident I can show a jury, with facts and logic, that I shouldn’t be caged for my actions.

Appearing today on CNN’s iReport blog is an entry about Ademo’s upcoming trial, which is scheduled to take place in Manchester in just over a week. (more…)

See Dick (Foote) Testify on 9/17 at 10am!

by | Aug 3, 2012 | 0 comments

You may have heard that Cheshire county sheriff Richard “Dick” Foote is running for NH senate this year and leaving his role as sheriff. Now hear this:

Dick is going to be on-the-stand in Keene district court on September 17th at 10am for the trespassing trials for me and Kelly. If you attend, you’ll get to see him asked questions that he will probably not appreciate, particularly those regarding the clearly illegal no trespass orders he issued to several activists late in 2011, which prevented us from our right to access the court system.

In case you missed it, here’s where he threatened us initially and told us that singing is harassing!

WeAreChange Overview: From Anaheim to NH

WeAreChange released on their youtube channel yesterday a video update of events around the nation which begins with an overview of the military police occupation in Anaheim, California. After a series of shootings of unarmed suspects, protests have swelled in the streets of the Los Angeles suburb whose local government is dominated by Disney’s commercial interests.

The video then highlights happenings here in New Hampshire, featuring video from Ademo’s wiretapping pretrial hearing, and footage from the recently released Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree, a documentary composed of content created by many Shire activists. See the well-produced three minute video “Disney Wiretapping Crime Spree” attached below.
