NH Blockchain Conference Hit with New Form of Censorship on Facebook?

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

Get this… I posted a reel on FB and used a song from their library–Jesus Jones’ “Right Here Right Now”–on a post about a blockchain conference that took place in the Free State of New Hampshire this past weekend…

This morning, after I shared it to an FSP group last night, I notice the privacy setting had changed to “locked”–my posts are generally public–so I went to investigate…

My post now has a copyright ding from Warner Music on it… BUT, if you want to submit a dispute, the SUBMIT BUTTON DOESN’T WORK…

When you factor in I literally told my husband last week that this will be the next way corporatists censor speech (I used to do IP law in Silicon Valley, mind you), I don’t know what to think…

Is it a simple issue, like I have used that song on a reel before (I have)? If so, WHY DOESN’T THE DISPUTE BUTTON WORK?

Is it something more nefarious? When you consider how many times in how many ways I have been censored on social media, I’m pretty sure this is a newfangled lawfare approach to censor speech…. Note how looks like the song is OK almost everywhere, but not in the USA?

When Facebook started the practice of providing the music I thought, Huh, wouldn’t it be interesting if they use copyright infringement claims to take down dissident content in the future… I don’t know for sure that this is where we are, but something is mos def sus…

The Free State Blockchain Digital Asset Conference was amazing. More details to come!

Gate Rape: Your Government’s TSA Molestation Program

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

This is my post-TSA gate rape face.

Why? For about a decade, I opted out of the scanner, but a few years ago, I had such a shocking experience–the female agent literally stuck her finger into my lady parts–that I started to “obey.”

My last defiance is doing a double bird–FU fingers in the air–in the scanner.

This has resulted in interesting verbal exchanges.
TSA agent: “I saw what you did in there.”
Me, leaning in: “Good.”

Today? They claimed my nether regions–ensconced in leggings–“alerted”.

Total bullshit.

Probably retaliatory.

I’ll keep zapping the bird, but if I get another “random alert” resulting in another traumatic gate rape experience, I **will** sue.

Rights not asserted are lost.

I have the Constitutionally protected right to flip off Big Bro. And they don’t get to stick their dirty statist fingers up my cooch in retaliation. (As I’m writing this, I recognize that there is deep-rooted trauma this experience has exposed. I will try to write a more comprehensive essay later.)

Then you see stuff like this, and it makes you go, Hmm.

This post generated a lot of social media interest.

I decided to make some GROK art… let’s call it a new category: TSA MOLESTATION ART. I didn’t have time to tweak these to perfection, but you get the gist.

Consent is Freedom

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

These are the heroes fighting for your freedoms who you should be thanking. We were not afraid.

We were out from the start, raising the alarm about the loss of freedom being snuck in under the guise of fear.

Fear spread by your government against you.

Fear that made family members turn on each other.

Fear that made you accept loved ones dying alone.

Fear that let you accept school closures and muzzles on your children’s mouths.

Fear that the government, colluding with the legacy news, MANUFACTURED against YOU.

Your government does not serve you. They called you NONESSENTIAL. They MANDATED and FORCED YOU to inject things against your will.

Consent is freedom. If you do not consent, you must disobey.

Ep. 35 The Carla Gericke Show Covers Free State Hate and a Brand New Poll

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

This week, I cover a new Suffolk University and Boston Globe poll that included a question about the Free State Project. SPOILER!: About half the respondents have never heard of the FSP, so this supports my theory that the haters are simply boosting us. Thank you!

I also read a few Letters to the Editor from the Union Leader in support of Free Staters, and conclude with a recent review of my book, THE ECSTATIC PESSIMIST: Stories of Hope (Mostly).

Find poll HERE.

Ep. 34 The Carla Gericke Show Asks Who Is Assassinating Democracy?

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

This week, I do a deep dive on the censorship of the “Hunter Biden laptop story,” and discuss whether free speech is worth preserving. I also contend that Democrat’s take on our Constitutional rights is… insane, and I think I prove it! Let me know in the comments, and buy my friend, Lou Perez’s book, That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore, right now!

Filming Cops at PorcFest? I Am The Only Reason This Video is Legal

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

Kidding, not kidding! Did you know years ago, I was arrested, handcuffed to a pole for hours, physically threatened behind the Weare PD station by three burly cops, charged with felony wiretapping carrying a 7-year sentence, all for filming cops during a late night traffic stop? I fought them all the way to the First Circuit and prevailed in a landmark First Amendment suit that equally and positively affects the rights of ALL thirteen MILLION people of the First Circuit. Police also no longer have the claim of qualified immunity in filming cops cases, meaning they can be held personally liable as well because it is super egregious to take your camera or footage. You can read the decision, Carla Gericke vs. Begin et al, HERE.

Free Staters Are the Vanguard to Remind You Liberty is Worth Preserving

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

Ready for my photo shoot with the Boston Globe. In the past few weeks, I’ve spoken to the Globe, the New Yorker, the New York Sun, and local media on topics ranging from Croydon, Gunstock, the Democrats, mean tweets, secession, woke churches, and more!

The media are out for blood against Free Staters… Individuals who just want to reduce the size and scope of government… how awful! So awful that people are calling me to say they wish my mother had aborted me. Real classy stuff.

Really makes you wonder what the people critiquing us stand for… Here’s a hint: war, slavery, subjugation, and control.

Don’t let the bad guys con you into thinking that’s good!

Trust your instincts and know this: Free Staters come in peace. We’re the vanguard to remind you liberty is worth preserving so that together, we can Live Free and Thrive!
