Talkback: Saturday, October 15th, 2008 on 104.1 & 1290 WKBK

Talkback is a bit painful at times as several callers think Ian being arrested is just a great thing.

If you’ve been reading this blog for the last month or so, you know that the “City of Keene” has been threatening me over my tenants’ couch in their lawn. First, they sent one of their “enforcers” to threaten me with a $100 ticket. Then, one of the commenters here on Free Keene dug up a little dirt on their “enforcer” Carl Patten Jr. Early last week, my tenants snapped a photo of Mr. Patten snooping around and photographing the couch.

Here is the latest on the situation. The day after Mr. Patten was caught snooping, a letter arrived in my mailbox from Laurie Plankey, Accounts Receivable for the “City of Keene”. Here is a PDF and here’s the text:

September 16, 2008

On 8/26/2008 Carl Patten from Code Enforcement issued you ordinance violation # 1133 for a junk couch on the lawn at (ADDRESS) The violation was not paid within 7 days and has now increased from $100.00 to $200.00 and is now due. You can pay this fine on the 3rd floor, City Hall, 3 Washington Street, Keene NH. Please ask for me. Failure to pay the penalty imposed by the citation may subject you to court action.

PAYMENT OF FINE DOES NOT NEGATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROMPT CORRECTION OF VIOLATION.

In response, I wrote them the following and had it notarized before hand delivering it in front of witnesses this morning September 26, 2008:

Ian Bernard of Free Talk Live posted this on the FreeKeene.com blog with this video:

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:

A little confrontational but assuming the velocity at which activists move to NH stays the same or increases he’s likely correct. At least the “is about to change” part. Not so sure about “everything.”

Free Minds TV is on the scene to cover a funeral for Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party. Fed up with the LP’s big government presidential nominee of Bob Barr and the general stripping of the party’s principles, activists in Grafton NH had a mock funeral for the Bob Barr and the LP at the first annual Burning Porcupine.

Log onto http://www.freemindstv.com for more coverage of Burning Porcupine. Also, join the members section of Free Minds TV for the uncut funeral footage and tons of bonus content.

I’m not sure they deserve the respect of a proper funeral.
