Freedom to Travel Event, Part 2

[Friday]

Now would be a *really* good time to make sure you have offsite backups of all your electronic files that you care about (baby pictures, etc.).  The Feds love to take people's PC's for investigation. Who knows if/when you'll get them back.

Study: Nonviolent Civic Resistance Key Factor In Building Durable Democracies
Nonviolent civic coalitions lead to deep gains for freedom, major new Freedom House study on political transitions finds.

Well if you ever want to get on the bad side of the Boston FBI's office, just ask them about John Zip Connolly.  He was one of the FBI agents from that office who was in bed with Whitey Bulger.  That office also framed four men they knew to be innocent of murder.  The murder was carried out by one of their informants, and with their knowledge and alleged help, they allowed a witness to perjure himself to get them convicted.  Two of them died in prison, two were released 30 years later after all of this started to unravel.

I thought most of you guys hated democracy......."tyranny of the majority"

When did we start paying you to think?

NH Man without I.D. and a gun vows to board flight or be jailed

You are right...I don't want liberty in my lifetime......I want liberty this summer.

It is funny when you think how little liberty we are seeking.....Mike just wants cosmotology licensing to end....I am just wanting to fly. We are not looking for Phillip Morris's right to sell cigs to children ?or something....we are starting slow and some people think we are going too fast.

The FBI agents also didn't like my idea of letting people onto the plane with guns....to help protect ourselves. Maybe someone else can do that one.

FBI and Federal Marshalls can be very sneaky, while appearing friendly. I was arrested once by Fed. Marshalls. They put me in the back seat, as usual, then started chatting innocuously. I happened to notice the driver reach down and take out the cigarette lighter from the dashboard. He placed the lighter on top of the dashboard. Why? I wondered would someone do that? Activating a recording device? I mentioned I saw him do it and would have nothing further to say. He looked like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

If the NHUnderground wasn't already on the Feds radar, you can bet it is now.  I urge everyone to keep it in mind when posting. Remember, what you say CAN and WILL be used against you.  ???

[Dave Ridley]

Russell and I were talking about this and are wondering if maybe we should send both of the FBI  agents to join this forum LOL

Bet they never catch Shorty.

In light of this...

Orchestrating Terrorism

As very few, if any, real terrorists have turned up, the FBI has resorted to creating terrorists by soliciting Muslim-Americans and appealing to them with schemes to aid "jihadists."

...I think we all need to realize the REAL possibility that the FBI will try to entrap one or more of us into agreeing to take part in some type of dangerous theoretical future crime.

They will obviously spend YEARS trying to entrap us.  We must refuse to violate our principles of nonviolence regardless of what anyone on this forum says or does, or how long they spend trying to do it.

Entrapment is absolutely unjust, and was once illegal, but it is now the status quo.? ?

[Russell Kanning]

but I really do like the idea of guns on planes.

[Russell Kanning]

The other great thing about participating in only nonviolent civil disobedience is that I don't have to worry about keeping my plans secret from the government.

[Russell Kanning]

I have been telling people in person, but I should mention it here.....that we can use as many people as possible to show up on Saturday to answer people's questions and help the media understand what we are trying to accomplish. You don't have to participate with me or get dragged in....you can just let onlookers know that your friend doesn't like government IDs and how people are treated at airport screening areas. It should be a fun atmosphere in the airport and I hope everyone enjoys themselves.
I will go through the main screening area at the top of the large staircase/escalators. Kat will stay around to see what happens to me or find out where they are taking me.
I look forward to the event. We are at the beginning of this great revolution and whatever they do to me should not worry you as much as it inspires. No matter where you are you can spread the word amoungst your friends, family, and coworkers about the next adventure one of your friends is undertaking. I am still getting positive feedback from the Outlaw Manicurist event and it will be fun to find out what they label this next event.

[JonM]

You mean, it wouldn't be a good idea for a bunch of people to dress up like Prince Harry and walk up to everyone while snapping their boots together and saying "your papers please" in a very bad German accent?

[Kat Kanning]

LOL!  Please do, Jon!

BTW, if Russell should happen to get on the plane, is there someplace I can hang out around Manchester for several hours?  I don't want to drive to Keene and back, when I come to pick him up.
