Liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss the crappy school tax vote, education, government violence, stealing homes, taxes, hemp, decriminalization, and driving while stoned. Also, a couple of local statists call in to complain about liberty-oriented callers. Anyone know who the final, whining statist male caller is? I know he has called before – does he work for the Sentinel? Retired bureaucrat, perhaps?
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
**Further video of these events will be posted in the coming days**
Three people, including one Keene activist, were arrested Saturday afternoon at a 420 rally.
The event, starting at 4:20 pm, was peaceful and drew a lot of local support for around 30 minutes. Locals even joined in the unusually large crowd of people gathered in downtown Nashua. Activists held signs and drew hundreds of honks of support from passers-by.
Suddenly, 30-40 minutes into the event, two plainclothes officers closed in on a 17 year old teenager and arrested him for possession of marijuana. The ensuing moments, which will be posted here and across the web in the form of many videos, included two more arrests, many more police cars, and an attack dog.
Both of the other arrests were for disorderly conduct. David Krouse sat down in front of a police car and was arrested. On the other hand, Catherine Bleish of the Liberty Restoration Project was arrested for allegedly not getting out of the road when she was ordered to. Despite that police were on both sides of the road with a lot of confusion going on.
– The young man arrested first was released to his family from Nashua PD
– David was released from the Nashua Police Dept with an April 1 arraignment.
– Catherine reportedly was not giving her fingerprints, which caused the police to threaten to keep her in jail, but as of 8:45 ET was reportedly set to be released, but any court dates are of now unknown.
The Australian government is after a man who lives in the US because he posts satire on the internet and the kangaroos are offended, a 200-year-old cheese rolling race has been canceled due to health and safety concerns, the Downsizer Dispatch, the NH legislature debates whether to make milk or cider the official drink of the state, and the Venezuelan government wants to crack down on the internet.
Thanks to BJ Wurts for the great letter about his trip to Keene.
The Free Keene Press is going to be looking to expand the amount of pages we have to fill. The next edition will be four pages instead of one. This means I am going to need more Keene-centric content and could use some help with that task. Currently I am paying for the printing costs out of pocket, with the cost going from $70 to $200, I will also need help paying for the printing costs. I am open to the idea of running some ads and pricing is negotiable.
What I am looking for as far as content is:
Articles in general
Photographs with caption or brief context description
Re-printable art
Opinion pieces
Comics, puzzles
Press releases for events around Keene
In terms of the articles I would like to see:
Taxes
City Council watch type report
Events around the Keene area like Pumpkin Fest
Social needs and services and a critique thereof, both public and private
Important Cheshire county news stories
And much more of course. I plan on keeping an open mind as to what gets printed. You can submit an item for consideration by sending an email to press@freekeene.com.
And just to clarify things: By submitting you give the Free Keene Press permission to reprint and edit your item as we see fit. You will not be compensated. You will be credited and if your item is edited a note will be made. Please limit profanity. More than likely if an edit is made it will be for length.
If you have questions please feel free to email the above address.
