Kelly Voluntaryist and Derrick J. Freeman went to Manchester Airport in New Hampshire to protest the TSA’s blatant violation of human (natural) rights. This was round 2 for Kelly, she intends to do several more TSA protests, so she may be coming to an airport near you. They stripped down & handed out information in the effort to prevent further rights from being stripped away via the TSA (security theater), while trying to re-attain the non-negotiable inherent natural rights that every human being is/was born with.

It was an amazing night. (Video to come.) Not only was it awe-inspiring to see so many people pouring out from Keene and the rest of the Monadnock region in favor of peace, but the LENCO reps actually commented afterwards that Keene was the place where they had experienced the most passionate response to their BEARCAT.
Some had suspected that LENCO had never experienced anything like Keene, as evidenced by their desperate attempt this week to cover up their Bearcat promo video. Their military-fetishizing video was subsequently re-posted to several youtube channels, ensuring it will never go away entirely.
Who testified in favor of the BEARCAT? Why city staff and former cops on city pensions, of course. Among us non-aggressors, the supermajority of the audience and speakers were in opposition. This is not speculation. I asked during my speech to have the audience raise their hands if they opposed the BEARCAT. I hope someone got a picture or video of the huge response.
Before the rest of the story, I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out last night. The city council chambers were standing-room only. (more…)
Free Keene activists have often been portrayed as an alternative to the mainstream of whatever it is they’re compared to. In NH state politics, they are the ominous extreme that some politicians take care to avoid being associated with. In the city of Keene itself, always considered a more socialist and statist locality in New Hampshire, activists with that region’s liberty movement have had little influence over the rigidly ritual Keene city council. During a protest drinking game which featured water in glass bottles, Mayor Dale Pregent had activists arrested, though charges were later dropped. In recent history, there have not been any city council measures which have been either proposed or revoked as credited to Free Keene activism.
In the past few days, a story has been brewing over whether the city would accept hundreds of thousands in federal dollars to purchase an armored assault vehicle (more…)
UPDATE – Nov 2018 – Due to LENCO’s takedowns and their likely unauthorized use of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”, this video is gone from YouTube. However, it has been now uploaded to LBRY.IO and will be protected by the blockchain. Watch it here after you download the free LBRY.io app.
As you saw in my last post, LENCO, the manufacturer of the BEARCAT pulled their militaristic, violence-fetishizing promo video down from their youtube channel, but not before someone ripped it down to MP4. Now the folks at Copblock have uploaded it to their channel and word is other people are uploading it to their channels. Here’s the video again, for those who haven’t seen it:
