As the southern baptists push their 'new' immoral political agenda to criminalize gay marriage, porn, and vice it seems only rational that the rest of society start setting up baptist conversion camps under the guise of undoing the damage from these cults. In practice we need not change their beliefs, only cause them to suffer their own advocacy. The camps should include mandatary penetration tests, same sex only bunk houses, and whips for those who dare blindly follow the camps teachings.

Heros defend the victims AND the victimless through any means available at their disposal. This includes use of violence when necessary against other violent actors. This includes those using violence as a defense against the gang calling itself law enforcement. The difference between most gangs and law enforcement is most gangs don't target the victimless masses by way of 'civil asset forfeiture', take a paycheck by way of 'fining' people who have no victims, or kidnap folks usually under false and manipulated pretenses in the name of some false greater good.Police may be above the law, but they should NOT be beyond the justice of the masses and it is only the masses who can enforce justice when it comes to law enforcement, prosecutors, and other bureaucrats that place themselves beyond the reach of public accountability.Support the protesters and those defending the public against the violent abusers calling themselves law enforcement, national guard, marines, and ICE. The real heros aren't the politicians either (except for maybe ~100 migrants for the FSP who moved to NH). The real heros in Los Angeles aren't the ones getting getting paid. They are the ones being persecuted for using whatever means were at their disposal to defend your freedoms. Be it their words, their rocks, or their cocktails.

New Hampshire is one of few great places to start a business. Thanks to other like-minded individuals and a more freedom respecting business environment small entrepreneurs like Mama Maria can be both prosperous and helpful in enabling libertarian-minded individuals to promote peace through use of non-state currencies. Mama Maria is the 2nd brick and mortar business to start accepting the refreshing privacy respecting cryptocurrency Monero. She also takes Goldbacks for those times when the most principled of us are without a solid internet connection (ie no cellular, and wifi is being iffy).https://freekeene.com/2025/07/04/new-food-truck-in-keene-mama-marias-gyros-now-accepting-cryptocurrency/

Microsoft Outlook in the "cloud", the "greatest thing ever invented" according to some went down for over 21 hours on Wednesday and Thursday according to to CNBC. I don't think I've had 21 hours of downtime total during the entire 25 years I've been managing mail. Why people are obsessed with the cloud I'll never understand. Handing over your most important data to a dishonest and self-serving corporation has never made any sense to me. Then to top it all off people get upset when Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, or someone else wipes out there stuff.Best t-shirt ever:https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/there-no-cloud-its-just-someone-elses-computer-t-shirtArticle: https://slashdot.org/story/25/07/12/1730242/microsoft-outlook-malfunctioned-for-over-21-hours-wednesday-and-thursday

A friend of mine has been working on self-improvement now for a few years and I have been helping him out where I can. His objective is to be more self reliant and less dependent on the state. In practical terms it means he has taken the plunge and moved to New Hampshire, refused state aid, and is learning to be more independent. For him this means learning to traverse the town on his own, do his own grocery shopping, and get to and from various nearby places where we have held weekly social events by himself. This is frankly amazing as he's been told his entire life that he'd be depended on the state and others for the rest of his life. You see the reason for that is my friend is blind. However what we have been led to believe and what many people with disabilities have been led to believe is that those with various sorts of problems couldn't do this or that and then given only one option: take money from the state. What most don't know is that this money comes with strings attached that hold the more ambitious, like my friend here, back. If he were taking money from the state he'd be unable to take a job. The truth is he can work when people give him a chance. He's a professional in the audio production world editing podcasts. He's now started a new business as a baker making and selling bread.For 1 Goldback (or an equivalent in crypto, about $7-8) you can now get fresh extremely delicious bread in Keene, New Hampshire. This is until the state comes in and shuts him down for baking bread without a license.It's time to end the state and let people get back to being productive human beings. My friend has been living independently for the past two years and soon won't need any help that he can't get through free market solutions.

It's about time someone stood up against these right-wing religious nut jobs that have pushed censorship and other laws that have primarily benefited politicians in the name of 'protecting' LGBTQ, women, and others and can't comprehend the difference between fantasy and reality. While I'm against the use of violence there is a HUGE difference between 'violent' video games, or in this case creepy sexual fantasies and people committing actual violence. When you pass a law criminalizing thoughts your committing a VIOLENT act that isn't justifiable. Banning actual violence (without consent) is justified, but not some sickos fantasy. Just like it's not justified to ban violent video games just because some small percentage of people will commit actual violence.https://www.polygon.com/news/616835/visa-mastercard-steam-itchio-campaign-adult-games

I got a new found respect for the danish. Apparently they have no qualms about feeding their pets to predators. A zoo asked for donations and apparently it's not a problem, but revealed a 'culture issue' in at least the United States. There was such an insane reaction the Zoo had to mute its social media page. LOL. I am definitely on the side of 'it's how the world goes round' and this comes off to me as this delusional fantasy land so many people live in today. I get it is a pet... but come on. If only people were this upset about like actual people being murdered and caged by their governments.

@codrus Yea, I'd avoid Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Apple, and at least Sony. I realize like two of these companies don't even sell computers at this point, but... aww got to keep boycotting evil. Basically all these companies have instituted DRM on wifi card slots and/or designed their systems such that you can't utilize standard components. The goals were pretty apparent in that they are or were trying to force people to buy replacement parts from them. They were trying to copy the 1980s US car company model. Produce crap, then charge to repair it (this is where the industry made its money until people caught on and started buying foreign based manufactured cars that didn't suck), or at least force everyone into their ecosystem to whatever extent they could (Apple in particular, but it's definitely not exclusive, I mean, Dell also did it back in the 1990s with proprietary power supplies and crap like that). Actually I was looking at servers the other day and realizing other companies like Super Micro also pulling shit like this. Though they do have some standardized motherboards (ATX, EATX, etc) and I probably can't be 100% certain the reason for it. There might in this particular instance be some technical benefit/reason for why they do it. I doubt it, but... maybe.

We're making progress on the freedom front in New Hampshire every day:One of our former free stater libertarian state reps in New Hampshire Michael Yakubovich has been fighting for our freedoms even on his death bed after having stepped down as a state rep due to a cancer diagnosis. Michael Yakubovich was diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago and in his name our governor just signed a bill that will give granite staters the right to try medical solutions that aren't yet FDA approved and may not be for decades to come. So long as the medical treatments have passed phase 1 trials (I believe that would mean something like, they've been tested on animals) and you've exhausted FDA approved treatments, and you can then get everyone on board (like the researchers/pharmacists/doctors/etc) that would be involved in the process of treating you using non-FDA approved research you can now legally make the attempt (at the state level)."Under the framework for the basic policy, terminally ill patients with less than 6 months to live (and who have exhausted all FDA-approved treatments) can try an investigational treatment or medical product that has completed phase one safety trials — provided the patient, doctor, and manufacturer are all in agreement."If you prioritize liberty, freedom, and privacy over "safety" you should check out the Free State Project. 10s of thousands of liberty-loving people are moving to New Hampshire with a single goal: Changing the system somewhere. Instead of left/right politics that go nowhere we're focused on expanding freedom on every issue every time. Outside of the use of violence (non-consensual) you should have the freedom to do as you please. Unfortunately that isn't how 98% of people see it, which is why moving matters.

Love this video promoting the free state, other than the conservative stance on ID checks at the polls at least. Don't get pulled in by stupid republican politics. As a whole libertarians want freedom including open boarders, free trade, and if your physically here on voting day you should be able to vote. It doesn't matter if your 5 years old or 105, white, black, or mixed, gay, straight, bi, or something else entirely. My "legalize gay marijuana" t-shirt sums it up perfectly.https://x.com/FreeStateNH/status/1961183320865374236

@cjd Right, so your going to tell me that libertarians support the state and apparatus that are drivers licenses and IDs? What your calling libertarian are really just conservative voices. Libertarians are for freedom in all its forms. Freedom to travel unmolested, economic freedom, etc. It's not to say that voting can't be restricted, to say 1 vote per person, but to rely on a state issued ID to that end is asinine and not libertarian.

It was one windy day- but Free Staters from accross New Hampshire came out to Manchester on Tuesday none-the-less and protested Manchester's city ordinance that prohibits people from selling home made food without a permission slip. The gist of the story is a guy was targeted by state mafia, ie the health deaprtment in the City of Manchester for daring to give away canned pickles. Free Staters heard the story and turned it viral. Maybe 50-100 mostly free staters showed up outside an aldermine meeting to demand change and defy the governments draconian restrictions on the distribution of food by mere mortals. Check out the article and protest video here:https://freekeene.com/2025/09/05/live-free-and-pickle-hands-off-our-pickles-say-the-free-staters-of-new-hampshire/

"IPTV Pirates May Soon Be Named and Shamed, Italian Minister Says"I just want everyone to know that if I were in Italy I'd be in the process of investigating how I too could become an IPTV pirate.There is nothing shameful about "pirating" content. If you want to be ashamed of something be ashamed that your not contributing more (either via financing or exertion of effort of some kind presumably) to the production of creative and useful content and software you use and enjoy. Just because copyright is immoral and is enforced through the use of violence that is the state doesn't mean you can't be a economic contributor to the creative and software ecosystems. Whether it be through purchasing of t-shirts from your favorite bands, donations where such options exist, or other means. We get fan emails daily from customers purchasing our products and in doing so they too are contributing to the development of free software. It's not immoral to charge for free software. Free software is about the freedom the user gets from being able to make changes, fix bugs, and being able to redistribute said changes to others. Whether or not you can make money from it is another matter, but the reality is yes, you can. Numerous companies and thousands of individuals make fiscal contributions to free software developers and organizations every day. Much of the development is funded by companies and individuals out of self-interest. It's not even necessarily a charitable act.https://torrentfreak.com/iptv-pirates-may-be-named-and-shamed-italian-minister-says-251020/

Headline: AI Use in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' Draws Fire From US Lawmaker"The use of AI in the latest Call of Duty has prompted a US lawmaker to call for regulations to prevent artificial intelligence from taking jobs away from human workers. On Friday, Khanna tweeted: 'We need regulations that prevent companies from using AI to eliminate jobs to extract greater profits.'"Hilarious post on Slashdot to this call of action:"I have been complaining for 30 years that game companies have used AI to drive the decisions of dishonestly named "non-player characters" instead of employing real human beings to play against the people buying their games. Billions of jobs have been lost over the decades!"He has a good point. I mean, I remember back in the day playing games 'against the machine', as opposed to an employee of the game company, and as a consequence that was one less person they had to keep on the payroll. https://www.pcmag.com/news/ai-use-in-call-of-duty-black-ops-7-draws-fire-from-us-lawmaker

Under 16s banned from social media starting today in Australia.When does state violence against minors justify violent rebellion? If not this act by the Australian government, then when? We have become a society of docile creatures programmed to obey. When I was in school the school yard itself was far more dangerous than anything online ever could be. Sure, there are predators, but if you were in school prior to the past two decades school yard bullies probably did far more damage than the internet has done to youth today.You can throw forth tons of sad stories with victims, but it hardly justifies the violence used by government to restrain companies and curtail the free speech rights of young people.It's time to stop treating kids like they're owned no different from an animal or family pet. Kids should NOT be slaves of a sick twisted class of adult.Kids should not be forced to swipe IDs to buy lunch, humans shouldn't be forced to swipe plastic to get into national parks, and those of us still alive need to take a stand and put some skin in the game in taking a stand against that which is the most violent to us all: Government, including government schooling.https://apnews.com/article/australia-social-media-children-ban-safeguarding-harm-accounts-d0cde2603bdbc7167801da1d00ecd056

If the US doesn't respect international law and illegally seizes foreign vessels in international waters like the recent Venezuela oil tanker seizure why should US citizens respect US law?The answer is simple: We shouldn't. Respect is something that is earned, not blindly given and the US hasn't earned that respect.Under international law, the United States' unilateral seizure of foreign-flagged vessels in international waters—particularly for enforcing sanctions—is a clear violation of established international treaties and laws.International law, including the 1958 Convention on the High Seas and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), prohibits states from boarding or seizing foreign vessels on the high seas except in specific, narrowly defined circumstances which include: Hot pursuit from a state’s territorial waters, piracy, slave trade, and disturbingly illegal broadcasting.

Court just ruled only feelings you express are protected, not any actually useful speech:https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/not-all-computer-code-protected-speech-us-appeals-court-finds-ghost-gun-case-2026-02-12/Basically this creates differences between regions (a circuit court decides the law, but it's impact is limited to the states which are part of said circuit) as to whether or not your right to publish 3d printable gun blueprints is protected under the US constitution or not. In this case that means it's potentially illegal to distribution gun blueprints in (and technically depending on the laws of the state): Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware.From the article: "In a statement, Second Amendment Foundation Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack said the ruling 'goes against prior courts which have ruled code is indeed speech, creating a new test that seems to have been prompted by this panel's disfavor of firearms.'"
