moralanarchism:

The fucking tyrants are afraid of those who want to govern themselves.  They can’t have the illusion of authority broken.  If they do the whole damn system will collapse and they will be rendered powerless.  So they will do everything within their power to stop the spread of freedom. 

Fuck the police state. 

The Keene Activity Center (KAC) is a place where (mostly) young libertarians and anarchists in Keene, New Hampshire congregate to talk philosophy, plan activism (including civil disobedience), and generally relax and socialize. Apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been trying very, very hard to infiltrate the KAC, judging from this account of the arrest of one of the club’s members, Rich Paul, on marijuana charges.

Paul is going on trial for petty marijuana distribution offenses pursuant to testimony by an undercover FBI informant. It looks as if the trial is on state charges, but what’s interesting and disturbing is the interest the federal government has taken in the case. FBI agent Phillip Christiana apparently tried to pressure Paul into wearing a wire into the KAC and luring people into pot transactions, offering him immunity from prosecution in exchange. Follow the link to read more about how the FBI agent tried to coerce and trick Paul into waiving his right to counsel.

Here are some questions the FBI ought to answer, that is, if they were in any way accountable to those of us who are paying their salaries under duress:

1. Why is the FBI taking such a keen interest in these small-scale marijuana offenses?
2. Is the FBI targeting Keene libertarians, anarchists, and “voluntaryists” for their political views?
3. Does the FBI countenance or authorize the deceptive and coercive interrogation tactics reportedly used by this agent?

I’m hoping Paul finds himself a good lawyer and negotiates a good plea bargain. His trial starts April 16th, though, so time is short. The local activists seem to be aiming for jury nullification. They shouldn’t bet the house on that. The prosecutor will paint Paul as a big-time drug dealer and scary anarchist.

It says he’s facing 81 years for selling a little grass to his buddies. Wtf is wrong with this picture?

It appears this guy is going to need some financial support from the community. Whether or not he’ll get that from voluntaryists I’m not sure. I hope so.

And when things are heated up and distractions are everywhere, that’s when evil slips its hand in. If the FBI hasn’t infiltrated their group yet, now would be the time to do it. A little caution from here on out would be wise.

Medical Marijuana passes the NH House! As Rep. George Lambert said, “NH House goes overwhelmingly green on medical marijuana”

WIN!

Good job, tiny home state.

As activists warned when cops were first authorized to carry tasers, police aren’t restricting their use to situations in which their own lives are at risk. They are using them sadistically, punitively and unconstitutionally when civilians fail to obediently comply with their orders. The most recent case involves a recent brutal attack on a 44 year old non-English speaking woman who tried to buy more than two iPhones at the Apple store in Nashua, New Hampshire. Owing to her limited English, she had no idea what store employees or the police wanted her to do. You would think two big burly cops could think of a less painful and dangerous way to subdue her.

In a case last year in Austin, cops repeatedly tased a man who was having a seizure, even after he was lying on the ground handcuffed. It caused him to suffer a heart attack that left him with brain damage.

Then there’s this woman in Studio City who suffered cardiac arrest after police repeatedly tased her for refusing to allow traffic cops to search her purse. As cardiac surgeon Dr Kathy Magliato, president of the California chapter of the American Heart Association, reveals this isn’t the first taser-induced cardiac arrest. As most result in death (yes, tasers kill people just like guns do), the victim is extremely lucky to be alive.

What’s wrong with this picture? All this suddenly makes me realize that the 99% are nothing but a bunch of lab rats to the ruling elite. They apply their psychological contingencies to get us all revved up to consume. When we fail to do so exactly the way they prescribe, they punish us with electric shocks.

After reading about the Chinese woman, I wouldn’t be caught dead (excuse the pun) anywhere near an Apple store. I’m not Pavlov’s dog and I refuse to be conditioned to run out and buy every new electronic gadget Apple comes out with.
