This week on Manch Talk, we cover several topics from satanic statutes at the State House, to school choice and the City of Manchester’s billion dollar proposal for a new school (no thanks!). We delve into the controversy of American holiday greetings and salutations, and rip off a few BandAids!
Let’s stop the censorship, the lies, the control, and let the marketplace of ideas exist…
Watch the full episode now…
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!
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.
This is my post-TSA gate rape face.

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.
Carla recaps the history of the Assange prosecution, and Tammy fills us in about who is running in Manchester.
Defend the Guard passes the NH House! NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen botches history after tweeting that Ben Franklin said, “A democracy, if you can keep it”. Join us for a rip-roaring episode replete with free speech about boobies. (And there still is no such thing as a free lunch.)
Catch my hilarious and poignant opening speech at Liberty Forum 2023, where you will find answers to questions like, did Carla accidentally murder the world’s funniest libertarian writer, and can you fight City Hall?
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.
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.
Fascinating. I firmly believe the Left (+whomever has enough clout to get the NYT, Globe & New Yorker etc involved) is trying to demonize us while simply helping more people learn about the blossoming liberty movement in NH… 😀 #libertarianhomeland https://t.co/scDVXFVms4

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!
