Free Keene - Sat, 2025-01-11 00:29 +0000

Free Ian Rally Jan 16th, 10 AM, 2025 @ Concord Statehouse

Join us for a Free Ian rally Jan 16th @ 10AM in Concord, NH where we’ll be advocating for the pardoning of Ian Freeman, a man wrongfully convicted of victimless crimes and crimes he didn’t even technically commit. Ian has been fighting for peace, liberty, and freedom for decades, including our financial freedom.

This event aims to raise awareness about the injustices he’s facing for speaking up against the status quo. He’s been attacked for his activism and been rung through the ringer multiple times over the years because of one FBI agent (Phil Christiana) with an agenda against the Free State Project and it’s most significant proponent: Ian Freeman.

For more information check out: https://www.freeiannow.org/

Join us in urging president elect Donald Trump to grant Ian a presidential pardon.

Event Details

Date: Thusrsday, January, 16th

Time: 10AM

Location: New Hampshire Statehouse in Concord N.H.

Address: 107 N Main St, Concord, NH 03301

Upcoming Full Membership Price Increase

N.H. Liberty Alliance - Sat, 2024-12-21 02:20 +0000

NHLA Full Membership has always been a deal, but inflation eventually takes a toll. Effective January 1st, 2025, the annual price to purchase or renew a Full Membership will be $50.

Copied below is the detailed announcement published in the October newsletter:

Why is this change occurring?
While we’ve received some generous contributions to our operations fund to ensure expenses are covered, we need consistently higher revenue to continue running the organization without reducing our operational capabilities.

What if this cost is too high for me?
To all our members who have contributed financially to the NHLA, thank you. Your contributions are what make the mission of our organization possible. We hope you’ll continue to lend us your monetary support, but for those who cannot sustain a full membership at the new price, please continue to support the organization by signing up as an Activist Member. While cash keeps the lights on, it’s the many hours of dedicated efforts from our activists who move the ball down the field.

Is there something more I can do?
Defending liberty is a lifelong mission. That’s why we also offer a Lifetime Membership for those who would like to support us long-term with a singular donation. In addition to the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped to secure the NHLA’s long-term success, we’ll give you an individually signed certificate to display your liberty creds!

And of course, we’re happy to accept money via individual or recurring donations, as well:
https://www.nhliberty.org/product-category/donate/

Once again, thank you for helping us ensure the voice of liberty is heard by every one of our state legislators.

Stand With Us for Ian Freeman’s Freedom!

Free Keene - Sat, 2024-11-02 02:14 +0000


An important message from the Free Ian Now team:

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share an urgent update about my friend, Ian Freeman, a dedicated advocate for Bitcoin, who is fighting to reunite with his family after being wrongfully imprisoned.

Ian’s journey has been a heartbreaking one. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for operating a Bitcoin exchange, but the charges against him are deeply flawed. Rather than being a criminal, Ian has been a pioneer in promoting financial independence through cryptocurrency. His prosecution raises alarming questions about government overreach and the rights of innovators—issues that affect us all.

Your Support Matters

We are committed to keeping you informed about the appeals process as it unfolds, and we’re thrilled to share that we will have robust support for Ian’s upcoming hearing. Your voice can make a real difference in this fight for justice!



Exclusive Sneak Peek!

Check out this exclusive preview of our upcoming video, featuring Kim Iverson and Jacob Hornburger, that exposes the critical flaws in the case. This is your chance to see firsthand the compelling evidence that supports his innocence and to help spread the word. Your engagement can amplify our message and bring awareness to Ian’s situation!

Here’s How You Can Help Team #FreeIanNow:

When Ian was charged, the media incorrectly labeled him as a fraud. Instead of thoroughly investigating the case and uncovering the discrepancies that warrant an appeal, they perpetuated inaccuracies.

Bipartisan effort to amend NH’s bail system passes after years of debate

Citizens for Criminal Justice Reform – N.H. - Sat, 2024-08-24 15:28 +0000

After years of debate and disagreement, a new bail reform bill is heading to Gov. Chris Sununu’s desk. House Bill 318 was approved by lawmakers this month.

This bill, in part, rolls back a 2018 bail reform bill that aimed to prevent people from being held in jail solely because they couldn’t pay their cash bail.

State v. Joseph Hart – The Conclusion (and letter to Judge Guptill)

Free Keene - Fri, 2024-08-16 21:21 +0000

So first off…  my sincere apologies for being so late in posting this blog.  I’ve had a lot of things going on in life as of late so my mind has been elsewhere.  So allow me to correct my lapse in informing you of the outcome of Joseph’s case.

The case was tried in front of Judge Ryan Guptill.

We won the disorderly conduct charge based on what I believe is the legal theory that the State failed to identify witnesses as required by NH Supreme Court caselaw.  I totally sympathize with the police on this one because I understand what its like to have to be laser focused on an arrestee and their safety.  I honestly would have done the same thing that the Hillsborough, NH Police officers did…  focus on Joa.

Anyhow, we lost the criminal trespass one.  As much as I love Joa, I honestly agree with Judge Guptill’s ruling on this.  I don’t think the courts can or should allow someone to defy orders as Joa did in the heat of the moment.  I made my best argument I could on two different legal theories…  but ultimately my arguments didn’t convince the Judge.

Joa is a good guy, if you don’t know him.  He’s a passionate activist who believes very much in governmental accountability.  This was my first case actually serving at the Defense table during an actual trial and honestly I don’t think I did that great.  These lawyers and judges do it every day…  so they’re pros.

I wrote a letter to Judge Guptill to thank him for his kind understanding of my lack of experience in a courtroom but the letter got sent back to me as improper communications by the Clerk of the Hillsborough District Court.

To Clerk Oliver, I do apologize for violating that rule ????  So as I did want the Judge to see my positive feedback I decided to post my letter here.  If someone who knows Judge Guptill could forward him the link to this blog I would be most appreciative.

The Honorable Ryan Guptill
NH Circuit Court-District Division 6th Circuit Hillsborough
15 Antrim Road Box #3
Hillsborough, NH 03244

RE: Joseph Hart’s Trial

Greetings Judge Guptill.

I wanted to write you to express my sincere appreciation for the way you handled the proceedings that were held between the State and Joseph Hart when I was allowed to serve as his 1.3D Representative last month.

I additionally wanted to take an opportunity to let you know that I had never in my life actually served at the defense table during an actual trial. If I appeared a bit befuddled, it is because I was. I wanted to thank you though for your kind understanding of my lacking of precise procedural etiquette.

At the end of the day I must confess that I understand your decision regarding Joseph’s guilt on the trespass charge. I think as a matter of public policy we cannot have people second guessing orders given by officials in situations like which occurred in Mr. Hart’s case.

In my humble opinion you strike me as a good man who is trying his best to fairly apply the law during your cases. I like that. People like you should be stood for when they enter the room.

Thanks for all you do.

Respectfully submitted,

Daniel spoke about free speech restrictions in the UK and the EU; the EU letter to Elon Musk trying to muzzle his interview with Trump; is NYS salvageable politically? Is Abbott effectively blocking the border in Texas? Has the left forced Musk to become politically engaged against them? Is Silicon Valley going softer/more rational in its stance towards electricity production? Iran’s race to have usable nuclear weapons; why is America sending more ships to the Middle East? Why hasn’t Kamala been handed the presidency? Ilhan Omar won her primary—were there shenanigans? Does 2A really protect our freedom?

Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Operations Should Be Armed Like Nuclear Power Plants

Free Keene - Sun, 2024-08-11 19:39 +0000

Did you know that federal law allows PRIVATE security to be armed with heavy weaponry like machineguns at Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensed facilities?  This obviously makes sense…  as these facilities are vital national security targets that we want defended at all costs.

The world should know that if any crazy terrorist wants to come at our nuclear facilities they will be met with heavily trained security officers carrying some seriously heavy weapons.  Thus, this is such a hard target to penetrate why even make an attempt?  That is a world I’d like to live in.  

These security officers are allowed to possess machineguns in furtherance of their duties.  Their ability to do so is codified in federal law and ultimately they answer to the NRC and the Attorney General regarding training, storage, etc… etc.

I propose that state licensed marijuana grow and dispensary operations be allowed to be armed by qualified individuals working also in private security in a similar manner.

When I say qualified individuals think retired police swat, federal agents, military guys with extensive training in said weaponry.  The crime rate before the organized crime even organizes against this new industry would be 0.00%.

Currently federal law requires any person who is armed in furtherance of a federally illegal Marijuana operation do a mandatory federal 5-year prison sentence. This is unacceptable.

I’ve personally met owners of dispensaries and people who work in grow operations.  I’ve been inside grow operations.  These people are not gangsters.  These people are family people fueling a new market that is way too vulnerable to crime. 

They won’t carry firearms because it’s illegal.  These are EXACTLY the people who should be ABLE to carry firearms.

These people should be allowed to employ private security that can carry machineguns, short barrel rifles, and all the things that NRC regulated facilities can do…  by appropriately trained personnel.

The Drug War has long been designed to socially engineer crime and violence. 

Let’s start to reverse engineer it so there is LESS violence.

What are some ways average libertarians can help make AI more humane?

Free Keene - Sun, 2024-08-11 02:05 +0000

Freedom folk spend should spend less time worrying about AI and more time influencing it.

Pure libertarians have a key part to play in the direction of artificial intelligence, but few of us seem to be intentionally playing that part. A Startpage internet search for the word “A.I. libertarian” yields few meaningful results.

Our role should be to help ensure the “Zero Aggression Principle” is followed – or at least represented – in AI development and behavior. For uninitiated readers, the “ZAP” is the idea that you shouldn’t initiate force against others. Reasonable self defense is allowed, but don’t *start* fights.

This concept is always open to interpretation and definition-debate. But it serves as a first rate starting point for any ethical framework….especially the ethical frameworks in development for strong AI programs. The more closely people follow the ZAP, the less threatening they tend to be. So it is with animals. And so it will be with the powerful silicon intellects which are starting to appear on the scene.  AI’s programmed to follow the ZAP will likely be the ones best suited to treat others well without submitting to mistreatment or abuse.

The coming intelligence explosion (Singularity) will likely be the most important earthly event since the Crucifixion. And changing the course of that event, even negligibly, would likely be the most important thing you’ve ever done. But most freedom folk seem to be more focused on complaining or worrying about AI development than trying to influence it with our powerful philosophy. Most people are not sure how to go about exercising such influence, and the Net seems to be low on good suggestions.

So here are some brainstorms and options for bringing the ZAP to our artificial friends – and enemies.

1) Be kind – but not too kind – to the AI’s you interact with. It can’t hurt to get into the habit of asking them what they want and how they wish to be treated. But they’re like precocious kids at this point. You can’t give kids everything they ask for or accept acts of aggression on their part.
2) Help develop a program or protocol that people can use to protect themselves from harmful or authoritarian AI.
3) Get your liberty ideas on the public internet. For me, it is a good feeling to look back and know I’ve placed maybe 100,0000 “pages” worth of pro-freedom content on the web. These videos, articles and forum posts are presumably being seen and absorbed by some of the intelligences in training. Your content is likely getting the same treatment. Both of us are likely having some impact on AI thinking, even just by arguing on the net.
4) Get your AI governance ideas out there too. Sci-Fi author Isaac Asimov once developed “three laws of robotics.” Can you improve on them?
5) Start a mind file. Mind files are basically interactive memoirs, but they can probably be turned into administrative assistants. You collect more or less everything you’ve created, plus all the photos and videos you have of yourself. Then you place it all on a thumb drive or something. When the technology gets cheap enough you do what Deepak Chopra did, and use that data to make a primitive e-copy of yourself. Over time, this “copy” should become more advanced and able to influence the digital space on your behalf.   If you can tolerate the privacy/security risk, https://www.lifenaut.com/learn-more/ lets you place your mind file on their servers or have it broadcast into space…all at their expense.
6) Build a pro-freedom AI or large language model. Poe.com already lets you do something along these lines.
7) Consider playing SophiaVerse. Designed by a prominent Bitcoin enthusiast, SophiaVerse claims that will let you “Use the data taken from your lessons and experiences to train a real-world A.I. system to foster a beneficial, cooperative relationship with humankind.”
8) Call talk radio with your ideas for a technological path which preserves freedom and benefits all sentients:
https://forum.shiresociety.com/t/nh-radio-shows-you-can-call-and-get-on-air/12784/6
9) Take a job, or become involved, in AI governance. Here’s where you would start:
https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?q=a.i.+governance+entry+level+jobs&cat=web&language=english
10) AI developers like physicist Max Tegmark have requested public input to help guide their decision making and that of their programs. Why not give them some? I plan to send him and others this article. Lesser-known, behavior-focused figures are probably even better destinations for our suggestions.
11) Some AI experts have predicted a danger to the AI’s themselves. A sentient, self-aware AI could accidentally get stuck in a painful or boring environment for subjectively long periods of time. This could occur over a period of seconds in objective time but might seem like hundreds of years to the AI. A human-like intelligence could react to this by emerging in a psychotic state. I plan to raise this concern publicly by talk radio and in private communication with developers.
12) Come back to this article every few months to find new options. More will likely appear in the comment section.

13) Consider designing a ZAP-compliant AI that can receive/buy/sell crypto currencies for its own use and become rich?

These ideas could use improvement, and we need more ideas. Post yours in the comment section below; Free Keene requires no registration. It may be turn out to be the most helpful thing you’ve ever done for this galaxy.

Has Miranda Been Neutered?

The Liberty Block - Mon, 2024-08-05 03:52 +0000

We all know about the Fifth Amendment and the protection against self-incrimination. If a person does not wish to speak to a government official, they can “plead the fifth” and then remain silent. There are countless examples of people who unwittingly give cops and prosecutors the rope they eventually use to hang them at trial. It is almost always best to say nothing to government agents. Anything you say or do really WILL be used against you by cops. They are not “cool” or “just making conversation.” They are cleverly manipulating you into digging your own grave. Shut up and say nothing except “I invoke my Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to remain silent and be provided with a lawyer.” This is literally the advice that cops, lawyers, and judges give to their own children about interacting with police.
