Attention Fellow FSP Participants, Fellow-Travelers, Porcupines, etc.

[ancapagency]

If you encounter a situation which is not immediately life threatening to yourself or others, and it is a situation in which you might otherwise have reported something or someone to the "authorities"--be it the Police, CPS, DEA, FBI, DHS, CIA, NSA, the Zoning Commission, the Planning Board, whatever; and you are unsure or concerned about what you should do, please do the following:


1) Stop, take a breath, and think.

2) Don't allow yourself to get pulled into an argument.

3) Do not immediately post it on FaceBook or other internet forum.

4) Call me (603.340.6654) or someone else in the Porcupine Community you know and trust, and present me (or them) with a brief sketch of the situation.

5) Discuss your options, get some perspective, and have all your "ducks in a row" as it were.

6) Then, and only then, decide on your course of action.


Again, this is in cases in which there is not immediate and life-threatening danger to you or someone else.

If there is a fire, call the Fire Department.  Yes, I know they're statist, but they're presently the only viable option.

If there is a medical emergency, call the ambulance/paramedics.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE POLICE UNLESS THERE IS EFFECTIVELY NO OTHER OPTION TO PREVENT DEATH OR EXTREME INJURY!

Hopefully, Porcupine 911 will be established soon, and a lot of this stuff can be handled by live operators who can get you assistance.  Until that time, and in the absence of other individuals and/or services, I am available for emergencies 24/7--I don't sleep much, I'm not a partier, and I am trained and experienced at dealing with all manner of situations.  For example:

I am certified in Wilderness First Aid, CPR/AED, etc.

I am a 10 year veteran of the US Army.

I am a trained Mediator (that's Non-Coercive Conflict Resolution), and have been practicing for 8 years.

I have spent the past 5 years working with "at risk" children in NH.

I am trained in Criminal and Counter-Intelligence Investigation.

I am trained in Interviewing and Interrogation, and have studied Body Language and Micro-Expressions extensively.

I've been a firearms instructor for over 20 years.

I am a trained Counselor.

I've been involved in the Liberty Movement since 1996, I joined the FSP in 2003, and I moved to NH in 2006.

I deal well with emergencies, and have had enough of them in my life that very little phases me.

Therefore, chances are I can assist you, advise you, or direct you to someone within the community who can.  If I don't know someone within the community who can assist, chances are I know someone outside the community who can safely assist you.

Please at least consider this option before you get dragged into escalating drama, post stuff on FB, or call the Government Agents.  This will make sure that the FSP is not harmed by things unrelated to it's sole purpose (i.e. getting good pro-liberty folks to NH), and will also prevent the escalations and serious drama which seem to be cropping up as of late.  I suspect folks will be a lot happier all around, and I can promise you I'll do my very best to ensure your concerns are addressed to your satisfaction.

Initial consultations are free.  Matters discussed are confidential unless and until I tell you otherwise explicitly.

Thanks Mike!

My suspicion is this will work if there's a little profit to be had....and not work so well if it's only a volunteer effort.  So I hope that there is an expectation Mike will get paid at least sometimes when he helps people out!   

[MaineShark]

If I had a situation I couldn't handle on my own, Mike would be one of the first people I'd call.

I know Mike is tops on my list of those who I would trust with a serious situation. When and if TSHTF, he is welcome in my guest room.

[CurtHowland]

That's enough of a recommendation for me to put him on my contact list. Thank you.

Hopefully, I'll get to meet Mr. Ruff in person.

[Russell Kanning]

good ideas
the only one I would not do is call the fire department, I would rather put out my own fire with help from friends and neighbors
I don't need the fire guys to come save my foundation.

I don't know Mike very well .... but I know him enough to know he is better than all the guys being paid by the big gang

IMO, firefighters and EMT's are just another tenacle of law enforcement. That includes animal control, forest rangers, wildlife officials, metermaids, security workers, building code inspectors and assessors and even utility workers. They are all trained to snitch and gather information to ease guilty verdicts. They all share direct communication through air channels and they all have clear access to computer based data on individuals.

Just recently I saw taxicabs with "COP" decals on the side of their cars. It stands for Cabdrivers On Patrol.

Its a shame ignorance isn't a commodity, many in the freedom movement would be infinitely wealthy instead of fiscally challenged...

Last time I checked Firefighters perform no law enforcement function. They do traffic control at accident scenes but that is not law enforcement. I don't recall ever seeing a data terminal on a firetruck.

EMT's are specifically prohibited from disclosing any patient information to anyone other than medical personnel without patient permission.

EMTs and the such are good "witnesses" and are now being trained to gather information. ie, auto wreck, shooting, suicide, etc as they are often first on the scene. They will ask someone injured in a car wreck "were you drinking?".."doing any drugs?"  Another thing they do is ask "are there any weapons in the house". And yes they are all linked together with radio dispatch operators. They keep the same channels open.

How do I know this? I trained to be a volunteer fireman last fall. I quit after they started instructing this kind of behavior.

So, you've never see firefighters issue tickets for violating a burn ban? Shut down a business and issue citations for fire code violations?

I've never witnessed the questioning you are describing.

Shootings and suicides, EMS personnel are staged until law enforcement determines its safe to enter the scene.

Nope.

Bob, just because you have not seen it does not mean it is not happening. Trust me it IS happening in all states.

No firefighters issued any tickets or citations.
