Interview with Special Guest Tatiana Moroz

Reposted from http://happyporcupine.info check it out for the latest Porcfest info!

Tatiana Moroz is a singer/songwriter and a newcomer to the Porcupine Freedom Festival. She will be preforming at 5:30 on Thursday, June 21st in the Shire Society Pavilion.

Check out her web page and take a listen to her music and then come to Porcfest and see her play it live!

Here is a short Q and A with Tatiana Moroz:

1. This is your first year playing at Porcfest. What can people look
forward to as far as your performance?

I will be playing a lot of music from my new album “Love and Liberty”,
which features a lot of music that reflects my hopes for us as a
nation and for the world. I am obviously a Dylan fan, so there will
be a few covers from him including “Masters Of War” which I did as a
request for the veterans at CVRP2012.com I play alone most of the
time, so I think that creates an intimacy with the audience. I love
performing for a liberty crowd; they are so enthusiastic and the
energy is palpable. (more…)

Porcfest Chronicles

Reposted from http://happyporcupine.info check it out for the latest Porcfest info!

Note from JJ:

The Porcupine Freedom Festival has become a rich and diverse event with so many different speakers, panels and events.  My goal with Porcupine Chronicles is to capture and spread the message of liberty.  To share this event with the internet to both market the Free State Project and the ideas of a society free of coercion.

For the past year I have been doing something similar in Keene with my TV show.  Free Keene TV is an all volunteer TV news and commentary show broadcast on the cable access station.

The idea was to set up a studio in the Shire Society Pavilion and produce as professional looking video as possible.  Originally I was thinking about selling DVDs of the various events and burning them right there at Porcfest.  I figured that people could give the DVD to friends or family who may be interested.  And the ideas spread.  This became much to large of a task and the overhead needed was not possible.

The key is to get it published as soon as possible so the plan in now YouTube.  I want flood the internet with a slice of Porcfest and see what sort of response happens.  The files will uploaded creative commons and I encourage people to rip, remix and share.

I approached Jason and Sharon Osborne with the idea and was surprised at how much they liked it.  We started formulating a plan.  Jason already had the HD cameras from his movie shoot for Chartarum.  He bought a high-tech new TV switcher and a new high-speed laptop and the pieces were coming together.

This is going to be a massive undertaking and there is still much prep work to do.  We are still looking for sponsors to recoup some of the money spent.

Unelected Government Employees vs. The People and The Law

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.

Seems pretty straight forward to me, yet unelected employees of the political subdivision known as the University System of New Hampshire continue to maintain that college students at a publicly owned higher education institution are not really people who have rights.

I have understanding for the position USNH is in, but with all due respect, they’re wrong.

I have decided to proceed pro se against USNH’s lawsuit and I will be updating you, the public, on my effort to defend the ability to lawfully carry a firearm or knife for lawful self-defensive purposes while on property that you (the public) ostensibly own.

This now means I have “the power of the Court” to subpoena (compel) and depose (question) witnesses.  I am spending considerable time now reviewing several defense strategies and working on deciding precisely how I will use the Court’s power to once again (like with Jason Talley’s case) show you how the government (and its servants) fail to follow the rules The People have established.

Your feedback, advice, critique, and suggestions are welcome.

Stay tuned for updates.

“Authoritarians Use Threats” – Derrick J from Jail

Subject: Authoritarians Use Threats

I was just threatened. Not just me. Everyone in cell block R. At 10:00pm, after head count, everyone was asked to convene downstairs for an important message. I wasn’t sure what this could be about, but I could sense tension in the room from the way the jailers were standing with their hands on their hips. The biggest jailer in the facility was pacing, poised and ready to address the crowd.

“Any of you know (I forget the name)?” He paused to look around the room.

“Silk?,” one inmate responded?

“Yes, Silk. Some of you may know him. He’s out now. There is a female employee, who, whenever she walks into this cell block, hears whispers of, “Silk, Silk”. It’s harassment, plain and simple. (more…)

“Circling the Drain or Springtime for Humanity?” – Derrick J from Jail

Subject: Circling the Drain or Springtime for Humanity?

Today was one of the best episodes of Free Keene TV yet. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it now. On top of it, the episode was followed by a visit from JJ Schlessinger (Thursday night Free Talk Live cohost, FreeKeene.com blogger, and Free Keene TV producer) and Anarcho-Ali Havens (Friday night Free Talk Live cohost, LadiesInKeene.com blogger, and regular anchor for Free Keene TV). Their visit really helped buoy my spirits on what has been a very up and down day for me. (more…)
