Three liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback this past Saturday morning to discuss property rights. Common objections to full property rights are addressed.

Yesterday marked the beginning of what I hope becomes a monthly reoccurring event: Keene FIJA Outreach.
In the morning, four area activist and myself, gathered in front of the Cheshire County Court house in Keene to hand out Fully Informed Jury fliers to people entering the court house. The reception seemed (more…)
Chris is organizing the new Keene FIJA outreach events you see in Nick’s recent Ryder Report. An inhabitant of Keene for nearly a decade, we look forward to Chris’ future input as part of this peaceful evolution. Chris is known as COG_K on the Free Keene Forum.
Our Keene-area activists spent 45 minutes Monday morning to reach out to potential jurors with FIJA information. Judges no longer inform juries about all their rights; specifically the right to vote “not-guilty” in a case where the jurors don’t agree with the law the defendant is charged with. Myself and other FreeKeene.com bloggers would love to see jurors begin to nullify convictions in victim-less crime cases. The first step toward that is to let jurors know of their rights to do so.
Jury nullification is an interesting form of outreach and activism. For those that ask us to work “within the system”: Jury nullification is a part of the system, for good reason. It is the final check and balance the public has on it’s legislative and judicial branches. For those activists who prefer “market activism” or workout outside the system, jury nullification is so far on the fringe of the status quo, they are happy to participate.
Of course, it’s been shown time and again that “the system” doesn’t really want the secret of jury nullification to get out. Potential jurors who bring it up will likely find themselves on their way home within the hour. Officers of the court will try to think up reasons information can’t be handed out, and judges have threatened additional charges for defendants who bring up jury nullification in the court.
How can a defendant informing a jury about the system as part of his defense be charged with anything? If it’s part of the system, the system judges and lawyers are meant to uphold, should it not be a defendant’s 100% right to take advantage of it? It’s more and more clear every day that courts don’t play by any rules besides the ones they make up on the spot.
Sam from the Obscured Truth Network and I called WKBK’s Talkback this morning to discuss car registration, consent, and noncooperation.

As you may be aware, Free Keene has been advertising on the Ridley Report. The Ridley Report is targeted to pro-liberty viewers, many who are activists here in New Hampshire or are planning to or considering moving to New Hampshire. It’s an ideal venue for recruiting new movers to the Keene area. In fact, I’ve just paid Dave Ridley to keep Free Keene ads on through the end of the year. That’s good news, but the bad news it we just don’t have much left over to spend on anything else.
Right now, only a handful of people regularly contribute to Free Keene. If you enjoy the content posted here and the pro-liberty activism going on in the Keene area, would you be willing to contribute three dollars a month to help us out?
Please visit contribute.freekeene.com and thank you for reading (and hopefully supporting) Free Keene.

Keene’s government people are hereby put on notice:
Everything you know is about to change. As each month goes by, more liberty loving activists will be moving into the Keene area. Please understand that voluntary interaction in a free market is the most humane method of interaction for mankind. These ideas of liberty are powerful and infectious. As our concentration and influence build, our ideas will become popular. Your government corporation will lose its most precious element of legitimacy as more and more people choose to ignore your dictates and live as free men and women.
Enjoy your coercive reign of the people in Keene while it lasts. I expect you’ll find your power over others diminishing over time, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I want to assure you that it is going to happen. Therefore, you should start thinking about products or services that you can offer into the marketplace on a voluntary basis, just like the rest of us peaceful people.
As a little taste of what is coming, here’s an what just one Keene-bound activist is doing down in his current home of Texas. Sam from the Obscured Truth Network will be arriving here sometime before the end of this year:
