NH Liberty Forum is happening this Friday & Saturday (primarily). If you haven't gotten your ticket to the leading liberty conference put on by the Free State Project by now you are running out of time. In fact they might even be sold out at this point. They were close to selling out in the last couple of days.
This is a great event for those looking to meet other libertarians in the free state and find out how the migration movement is radically changing New Hampshire for the better thanks to 10s of thousands of activists who have moved to the state. We control about 1/4 of the state house and over 20% of the New Hampshire Senate now too. I will also apologize in advance for just how open we are in that you will sadly run into a few conservatives at this event too. Just ignore them. Not everyone gets what it means to be a libertarian. We want an end to government education for instance despite that there is some amount of support for vouchers in the mean time. Particularly by the conservatives vendors/groups that attend. We do have actual libertarians at the event though so it is still worth attending. There will be people using crypto, goldbacks, and advocacy for decentralization, New Hampshire independence (you can't really achieve freedom without it after all, even if we can have major impact at the state level), and an end to taxation (taxation is theft), mesh networking, HAM (but without the government permission slip), 3d milled guns, drug decriminalization (without the taxes), an end to state violence (that isn't defensive in nature, ie laws enable violent actors, so any laws that aren't against violent individuals, broadly speaking, are immoral, ie see non-agression principal) etc.
I hope to see everyone at the 420 rally today in Concord at the state house. Riley's got a speech he has prepared and everything. This is New Hampshire where we are going to get no tax AND total decriminalization BOTH. Not just decriminalization of weed. Plus all drugs.
420 rally to support further decriminalization of illicit substances this Sunday 4/20 at 4:20 PM at the state house in Concord, NH. Though we recommend showing up a bit early.
Trump's trying to take out the internet again: And the congress critters are getting on board. Stop SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is basically back. This new provision would make people take down content others object to.
Have you been a bit concerned about the growth of the surveillance state? So have we. Cameras everywhere, stores logging serial numbers, automatic number plate recognition systems, and even facial recognition now. That's why my company has introduced 'Privacy Proxy', a service where a real human (company) will purchase goods on your behalf and ship them onward in a manor that'll preserve your privacy. Nothing says we have to preserve the details of an order, log the serial numbers of products, or keep a log of every shipment. We can even use cash to pay for S&H and BURN THE RECEIPT!
:) So... if you need someone who can keep a secret check out ThinkPenguin.com for the details on the service and then watch us burn the S&H receipt of our first proxy purchase order (yea, we're literally burning the meta data):
Dave Täht, a guy who helped fight the FCC's excess regulation that has led to the death of freedom friendly wifi devices has sadly passed away. He may be best known for his work on bufferbloat, but to me he's one of the few freedom fighters that remained in the world. He recognized the danger of the FCC's rules on wifi routers (and really just wifi) and it's implementation by manufacturers. We lost the fight, but it’s people like him, Eric Schultz, and others who led an important if not short lived fight for freedom in the tech sphere. To that end his name, commitments, and efforts will be remembered.

2. The public hearing will be Tuesday, April 1, at 9:50 a.m. in Room 100 in the State House. Show up at the hearing and testify for our bill! More information can be found at: https://www.nhinspect.org/
Also, our allies at Americans For Prosperity - New Hampshire will be hosting a Senate calling party with us, and we need you to volunteer!The goal is to contact voters in key districts and urge them to call their Senator to support HB649. Come join us for phone calls and free dinner!

Your a real libertarian if...
1025. You have a smart phone with LineageOS, GrapheneOS, or some other fork
1026. You have a smart phone, but don't have a sim card or use the cellular feature
1027. Instead of the cell phone you communicate with boefang radios and unlike hams defy the authoritarians by not asking their permission, going so far as to unlock restricted albeit unused portions of the spectrum (hey, we aren't monsters, protocols aren't the issue, it's the violence inherant in the system that ia the problem)
1028. When the FCC shows up looking for your pirate radio station you and your closest friends go out to protest
1029. When the health inspector shows up to your events you and 1000s of your friends run them out of town
1030. Your first instinct when a cop shows up is to pull out your phone and start recording
1031. When you start an anti-drug-criminalization protest in the central square and one guy dares to pull out some weed after the cops show up in an attempt to intimidate and then gets arrested you and a hundred of your friends take a trip to the police station and start smoking weed in the police station in protest of their arrest
1032. You actually know enough about the law to refuse a roadside DUI breathalyzer test after being pulled over without losing your license or facing a trial
1033. You know enough about the law to a point you can stare down a cop illegally demanding a drivers license during a DUI checkpoint encounter and still not be arrested for failure to ID (the reason a cop can normally demand a license is they have articulable suspicion of a violation, but at a DUI checkpoint this does not exist, stops are based on a plan and supreme court carve out exception to the warrant requirement in the constitution)
Your a real libertarian if ...
10. At least one or more of your friends are sitting in a cage over reasons of principle
11. You have constant conversations on weather Matrix, Freenet, or encrypted mesh networks are the way to go
12. You know what Tor is and have actually used Tails
13. You smoke weed not because you like it, but in defiance of unjust laws or attend decriminalization rallies despite not using
14. You've spoken at state house hearings, attended trials of your friends, and know people who have run for office
15. You have your GPG key on your business cards
16. You don't tweeet, but toot
17. You look down on people using dirty fiat
18. While you may not pay taxes you help others who help themselves
19. You car is registered to a trust or LLC
20. You think about how you can be more self-reliant on regular bassis
21. You've moved to New Hampshire for The Free State Project
22. You've stood up to abusive authority figures be it the police or a high school vice principal
There is a new simple test to determine if your a real libertarian.
1. All your friends are on Matrix
2. You attend attend regular crypto meetups that have turned into alternative currency meetups
3. You attend events where the people around you are accepting and spending crypto, but not investing in or marketing crypto even if they sell or advocate for non-fiat currency
4. You have attended some form of mesh meetup or event, such as for Mashtastic, or simply setting up a mesh network
5. Your preferred operating system is primarily or entirely composed of free software
6. You or someone close to you has 3d printed or milled a gun for reasons of principle, no serial numbers and preservation of freedom
7. You have no respect for the law, but are OK with protocols and value principles of nonviolence with the exception of self defense
8. You can sniff out feds amongst your 'friends' based on their interest in sports and a lack of understanding of fundamental liberatarian principles
9. None or nearly none of your friends pay taxes for moral reasons
