Manchester’s Longest Running Crypto Vending Machine Returns to Murphy’s Taproom on Elm St.

CVM Inside Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester

Recently due to the ridiculous and tyrannical COVID crackdown on freedom that we’ve seen globally over the last two months, Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester closed its doors and the area’s longest-running Cryptocurrency Vending Machine (CVM) had to be moved to the other Murphy’s location in Bedford. Now, a month later, the CVM is back at Murphy’s Taproom in downtown Manchester at 494 Elm St as they prepare to reopen on Monday to their regular hours of 11:30am-Midnight, seven-days-a-week!

Originally installed back in 2016, the General Bytes brand CVM has been offering Bitcoin (BTC), DASH, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and most recently Monero (XMR) to the community at competitive rates, with unparalleled privacy. Since then, the area has seen close to a dozen competing CVMs spring up, many of which are severely limited on the amount available to purchase and invasive of users’ privacy.

Given the economic ruin being imposed by the federal and state government gangs, now may be a really good time to start learning about and acquiring cryptocurrency. The CVM in Manchester makes acquiring crypto as simple as putting cash in a vending machine. If you’re new to crypto, install some wallet software like Edge Wallet or Exodus Wallet and drop by Murphy’s Taproom any day to purchase some cryptocurrency.

Penn Jillette Talking About Possible Move to New Hampshire… if Vegas Dies

by Ian | May 13, 2020 | 9 comments

Back in 2009, half of the magician/comedy duo Penn & Teller, Penn Jillette gave Keene a ringing endorsement, saying “I should be in Keene, with the Free Staters”. He later weighed in support of Keene’s controversially named new restaurant, Pho Keene Great.

Now he’s openly discussing a possible migration to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project, in the possible event of Vegas dying due to the COVID crackdown:

We asked @pennjillette of @CWPennandTeller about the FSP through @BookCameo:

"If COVID actually kills Vegas, I'll have the opportunity to move to #NewHampshire…. I know a lot of people in [the Free State Project]…. It's a good idea. Let's see where it goes."

Video from May 2nd Major Freedom Rally at NH State House

by Ian | May 6, 2020 | 7 comments

Saturday’s huge freedom rally at the state house in Concord attracted several hundred attendees, was the second one of its size in as many weeks, and was thankfully ignored again by police. It also attracted independent newsman and talk show host Vincent Moore who had done a video of the first mass rally two weeks prior.

Here’s Moore’s video of this Saturday’s mass civil disobedience event:

BREAKING: Massive Freedom Rally Takes Steps of New Hampshire State House

by Ian | May 2, 2020 | 18 comments

Hundreds gathered in the name of freedom on the steps of the NH state house.

Hundreds gathered today, May 2nd, in the name of freedom on the steps of the NH state house.

Several hundred protestors descended once again today on the grounds of the state house in Concord, New Hampshire to protest the tyrannical behavior from the New Hampshire criminal gang known as “government” and their governor-king Chris Sununu. The same thing happened two weeks previous, where hundreds gathered despite near-freezing temperatures and rain. Today’s freedom rally was warm and sunny and again hundreds attended, perhaps even more than last time.

Police again ignored the event, preferring – as bullies would do – to target and threaten peaceful parents and children on area playgrounds instead.

As before there were speeches and signs, but this time the crowd started by Main Street and ended the event by amassing in front of and on the state house steps where a myriad of photos were taken, including the one I snapped that you can see on this post. Video is expected tonight from Vincent Moore of Shire Free Media. I’ll post that when I get it. Meanwhile, you can see his video from two weeks ago here.

Today’s rally was a huge success, though it wasn’t perfect. There were a lot of Trump supporters there, apparently still under the deluded belief that Trump somehow supports freedom. That said, the rally was an excellent example of mass civil disobedience and noncooperation and many minds were open to the idea of New Hampshire declaring independence, which is the flyer I passed out to most of the crowd.

My “ASSEMBLY IS A HUMAN RIGHT” / “FREE HUGS” sign netted me six hugs, five from ladies, one from a guy.

Will the protestors take the next rally to the home of “HIS EXCELLENCY”? Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest.
