Lavabit Forced to Shut Down and Shut Up
Sunday, August 11th 2013. 1 ounce of silver is 20 dollars. 1 Bitcoin is 103 dollars. Peace News Now is brought to by friends of http://WeUseCoins.com and by you, the listener.
Peace News Now reported on the Green Beam, an activism tool employed by Free Staters in Manchester, and owned by Bill Dominico. Shortly after being threatened by police for broadcasting to drivers about a DUI Checkpoint Ahead, Bill ran an online fundraiser to cover court fees. On Thursday, he received a letter from Manchester Police Captain Robert Cunha. It read, quote,
“On July 26th you were issued a city ordinance summons by the MPD for using a laser signage device in violation of the city's zoning ordinance (9.07). Research into the enforceability of that ordinance revealed that it is enforceable by the Director of Planning and Community Development Dept. Therefore , the police dept. will not be pursuing this matter in the court system. The ordinance summons you received has been voided. There is no need for you to answer this ordinance violation.”
So what’s next? Green Beam Bill has announced that he plans to be at the next checkpoint with, quote, “beams blasting,” and says he hopes to meet the "enforcers" of the Planning and Community Development Dept. I am sure that since the ordinance is "enforceable" that they will be anxious to preserve the, quote, "peace and dignity of the state." Thanks to everyone who is supporting this effort. Bill will continue to retain counsel for the expected future confrontation. Stay tuned to Peace News Now for more updates from the Free State.

Speaking of the Free State, New Hampshire Public Radio was abuzz with talk of police militarization this week. John Duvall, Concord Police Chief, and Devon Chafee, of the NH Civil Liberties Union sat down on call-in show “The Exchange” to answer questions about the acquisition of a ballistic armored attack truck for the Concord Police. In the application for the grant for this vehicle, Duvall wrote that the Concord police deal on a daily basis with local terror threats from the Free State Project. Carla Gericke, President of the Free State Project, called in to hold Duvall accountable for his slanderous accusations.

Duvall is asked point blank by the interviewer to list some examples of the daily challenges presented by the Free Staters. He completely ignores the question. This is important to emphasize because he *lied* on an application for federal grant money in the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When you lie to the federal government, you go to jail. When this man lies to the federal government...well, let’s see what happens.

Rather than comply, he has chosen the latter. He has been told that if he were to speak about the events that led to his decision, he will be punished. This is where we are today.
