“My son’s property is being threatened with seizure” – so said a gentleman who stopped by MARV at PorcFest. A week later I joined other Keene-based activists for the two-hour drive to Bondsville, MA, where Jay Noone and supporters had gathered.
Despite threats that his property would be stolen that morning, when we left later that day Jay still retained his property. By openly standing for his beliefs Jay was safer. His actions undoubtedly will embolden others.
The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit – Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do – He does not keep “protecting†you by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that.

On May 27-28th, 2011 we attended third-annual Bardo Fest!!! held at the 200-acre Bardo Farm in Croyden, NH at the tail-end of our Grafton/Upper Valley stop of our Free State Friendship Tour.
This video shows just a fraction of all the awesomeness that happened during the four-day event (we left early to support Dave Ridley at a rally outside the Nashua PD), which facilitated not just the sharing of skills but the growing of a community. Hope to be back next year!
GREENFIELD, IN – Twenty-five years ago Frank Powell dropped a four-pound C4 bomb on a West Philadelphia row house, resulting in the deaths of five children and six adults associated with MOVE – a group that advocated for human and animal rights. Powell was never held accountable for his actions since he wore a piece of metal on his chest from the Philadelphia Police Department. His colleagues, who had fired 10,000 rounds into the dwelling, faced no repercussions. Nor did those who ordered the use of such aggressive violence or those from the same criminal organization that had seven years prior shot-up MOVE’s previous residence.
