Notice of Nonconsent and Affidavit of Truth

by | Dec 6, 2008 | 14 comments

The City of Keene actually put dollar signs on their property tax bill this time around! Since they never answered any of my questions I included with my check last property tax time, this time I drew my own conclusions and invited their rebuttal. I stapled the check to the following document indicating on both the document and the check that their depositing of the check would constitute their agreement with my assertions. Now, obviously I understand that they are just going to use violence on me anyway as was recently proven in the “freedom couch” situation. I don’t believe these are magic words that will save me from their violence or anything, it’s just fun to give these bureaucrats something to think about. I think my next step will be to contact the state attorney genital, record the phone call, and ask some questions about the “consent of the governed”. So, in case you’re interested in what I wrote to the violent monopoly called government, here are the contents of my “NOTICE OF NONCONSENT AND AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH” (.PDF): (more…)

My timing sucks but I’ve been wanting to make a comic for some time about the federal government’s reverse Midas touch as it applies to disaster relief in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I’m not sure when a good time will present itself so here it is.

Liberty Activists and Authoritarian Statists Call WKBK’s “Talkback” 2008-11-29

by | Nov 29, 2008 | 49 comments

Radio TowerLiberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback on Saturday and discussed public transportation, the Free State Project, drug decriminalization, government, and corruption. That set off the statist authoritarians who proceeded to dominate the entire third hour. I have included their calls in this archive in hopes they will inspire you to call the show next week:

The unfortunate fact is, the authoritarians are still the bulk of call load on this show. We could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details and discuss on this Free Keene forum thread.

Skip Starbuck’s for World AIDS Day

by | Nov 29, 2008 | 11 comments

Skip Starbuck\I discovered this wonderful corporate outreach by Starbuck’s on World AIDS Day through Facebook. It appears that Starbuck’s is going to oh-so-generously donate 5 cents when you buy one of their beverages. Well, not any beverage of course. It has to be one of three holiday specials, so they won’t be sacrificing 5 cents on their less exorbitantly-priced beverages. It’s not just people dying in Africa depending on them, after all. They have shareholders dependent on them as well.

I know that reads sarcastically, but I’m actually one of the last people to complain about someone making money by providing a product people like. In fact, kudos to them for some brilliant marketing. That’s what it is, after all. I’d be willing to bet they’ll spend more on the ad campaign promoting their “charity” than they will actually end up donating. Let’s be real. Starbuck’s is not a charity. It’s a business.

Anarchy Isn’t The Answer

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a massive super computer is asked for a simple answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. It spends 7 and a half million years to determine that the answer is 42. Of course, the realization is quickly made that a simple answer to an extremely complex question, or more accurately many difficult questions, is ridiculous on its face. The real answers to all the big problems are not easy, however badly we may desire them to be. (more…)

Help me get mine! The Golden Porcupine is awarded to any Free State Project member who manages to recruit three or more people to participate in the FSP. The idea is that if everyone currently signed on were to recruit three people, we’d more than reach our goal of 20,000 signers. I’d like to do more than that though. I’d like to be the #1 recruiter! That’s going to be tough competing with people like Ian and Mark of Free Talk Live with thousands of listeners across the country, but it won’t keep me from trying.

Did you find out about the FSP from Anarchy In Your Head? Were you encouraged to join by the comic? Make sure you tell Phil Denisch. If you haven’t signed up yet, why not? Go sign up now and put Dale Everett as the person who referred you.
