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!

Slavery Cannot Tolerate Free Speech

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

“Slavery cannot tolerate free speech” because today’s slaves are TOLD what to think through 24/7 propaganda and then obediently parrot it back.

Knowing what YOU think based on YOUR KNOWLEDGE is freedom.

When you don’t know your own mind you are susceptible to… other people’s suggestions… dare I say “mind control”?

It’s not as obvious as the cartoons portrayed with a helmet on your head, but it IS the Squawk Box and the news cycle and its often repeated, looped, “mind control” phrases…

Consider one term you now frequently see lobbed verbatim and without any supporting evidence from the Left across media channels: “It’s a racist dog-whistle…”

I bring it up because this phrase was used in a recent Union Leader article in an overt attempt to make up news…

The Free State Project’s official Twitter account tweeted out a list made by a participant about NH Churches. You can view the list HERE. As you can see with your own eyes, it’s a comprehensive list of Christian Churches, and, when you click on the individual churches listed, one column denotes whether the church is “woke/based”. The FSP didn’t make the list, a Christian participant of the project did. The goal of tweeting it out was to provide information for potential movers. Some want to attend a woke church, some don’t. As it is in a free society. No malice was intended, but when the news media picks up on a non-story, turns it into an international news story–for real, I got a Google Alert from a news outlet in India–and includes the “racist dog whistle” line, you know a propaganda game is afoot.

Let’s parse this out… The quoter is: 1. Calling their opponent a dog(?); 2. Claiming to be a mind reader who “knows” the quotee can hear something no one else can hear (i.e. imaginary); 3. this “thing” they “hear” is “racism.” No proof, no evidence, just an often repeated lie, which we are seeing with more and more frequency.

Using a blanket statement like “racist dog whistle” in the media to ascribe negative characteristics to a group you don’t like by stating, “*I* know what they secretly think” isn’t journalism, it’s woke jingoism, it’s propaganda, and it’s defamatory. Media, do better please.

One last thought… If you hear “racist dog whistles” everywhere, maybe, just maybe YOU’RE THE RACIST? After all, the Democrats were the Party of Slavery, as Frederick Douglass knew: Listen to “THE SLAVERY PARTY.” EXTRACT FROM A SPEECH DELIVERED BEFORE THE A.A.S SOCIETY IN NEW YORK, MAY, 1853.

Been Warning You For a Long Time Now…

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

This Facebook capture is from “This Day” in 2016, when it was being reported that conservative media was being censored by Facebook. For those who know me, I don’t have a particular skin in the game as to whether it is conservative or progressive voices (or anyone in between) being silenced… I have an issue with censorship per se. So, by the way, regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, should YOU.

Project Vertitas Founder James o’Keefe in the Free State

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

Wednesday was eventful! Morning: working on the The Carla Gericke Show (catch the latest episode HERE). Early afternoon, walked our future property at Bardo with Emily Smith (you don’t realize how deep in the forest you are till you see how small we are in the pics).

Early evening listening to heroic investigative reporter and now Regime-persecuted James O’Keefe speak at Dartmouth. I was ready for a Free Speech rumble, but everyone was awfully polite. Thanks for all you do, James!

James and I have met over the years, we even had drinks once at The Copper Door back in 2013 or 2014 when I was still drinking. We caught up for a quick “hello” in South Dakota at Freedom Fest too. Yesterday, I had him sign a copy of Muckracker and gave him a copy of my book, The Ecstatic Pessimist with a Free State of NH passport strategically placed to open to my essay about Orwell that I delivered at the launch of Ben Swann’s Truth in Media in 2013.

At last night’s event, James o’Keefe’s talk was mainly a take-down of the “journalism” presented by Kyle Mullins, former editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth. You can watch James respond to a question about Anonymous and conflict of interests in the media HERE.

Here is the piece done by The Dartmouth after the event.

Lastly, we’d planned a late dinner at an old stomping ground Korean restaurant only to discover they now only do take-out… Guess who ate squid in a parking lot last night?

Did You Hear Elon Musk is Buying Twitter… Maaaaaaaybe?

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

BREAKING! Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $41B in order to take company private. He’s savage! ❤

UPDATE! Zee plot thickens! From my Twitter feed:

Man, this @elonmusk takeover is turning into Succession meets Billions IRL with some Pentagon Papers thrown in for good measure. #Twatter

ICYMI: Vanguard comes to Regime’s rescue & buys current largest share at 10.3%.
Saudi Arabian shareholders turn down deal (looks like the Regime is finally calling in that favor). Elon calls them out on it.
Progressives cheer AGAINST openness & free speech and FOR Big Money.

If the collapsing Regime is willing to go to these lengths to stop someone from re-instituting CENSORLESS FREE SPEECH, and YOU’RE not wondering what they are trying to hide, you’re not thinking hard enough.

Hint: Connected dots on intelligence agencies’ malfeasance. The corruption rife in DC. The harm caused by the government’s response to C-19. The lab leak. The collusion btw Big Pharma, Big Money, Big Tech & Big Gov against YOU, the “nonessential” little guy.

Then there is this: https://www.nytimes.com/…/twitter-saudi-arabia-spies.html

Turns out: Chairman of Twitter is Salesforce’s CEO, which recently ran an anti-SpaceX/Elon superbowl ad. So this drama has multiple layers?

UPDATE 2:

On Friday, Twitter introduced a poison pill rather than accept generous offer. The Twitter board has a fiduciary duty to consider all offers in GOOD FAITH.

By rejecting an offer at 54% PREMIUM, they are screwing their s/holders, and opening themselves to a massive shareholder lawsuit. All this now obviously to continue to suppress free speech and rig elections in favor of their favored candidates.

FYI: Invoking the “poison pill” means if any person or group acquires 15%+ of Twitter’s outstanding common stock without board approval, other s/holders can buy additional shares at a discount <–to fend off a “hostile takeover”. Yesterday, they diluted the stock to reduce Elon’s stake.

The original offer represented a 54% premium, which has now been reduced to 18%. The question investors should ask themselves is why they would continue to hold Twitter stock now that the Board has shown it will BREAK THE LAW and choose SJW/Wokeness over its fiscal duties.

Then Twitter’s Board hires Goldman Sachs–you know, Too Big To Fail guys–to advise them on the offer. They say it’s not a “fair offer in good faith,” BUT, the premium offer of $54.20 is ABOVE their own buy/sell recommendation of $30. This was Elon’s response.

Update 4/21/22: Looks like Elon has borrowed enough money to take an offer of $46.5B directly to the shareholders, thus circumventing the poison pill, so currently, in the Saga of Twitter’s Free Speech Suicide Squad: “Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a filing Thursday he has secured $46.5 billion in financing to buy Twitter — mostly with borrowed money.”

You decide if this SNL skit is funny or not.

My response to the skit was: “Another “N-word” was censored on social over the past 2 years: the Nuremberg Code, the set of ethical rules for human experimentation that were grossly violated by the introduction of vax mandates during Covid. Mentions received warnings/misinformation labels. #FreeSpeechMatters”

Artist Ai Weiwei Warns of Chinese and American Authoritarianism

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

I have been a fan of Ai Wei Wei for a long time and was thrilled to hear him speak in NYC years ago. I’ve caught his exhibits in Brooklyn, Prague, and online, and watched several of his documentaries. My favorite piece of art is his marble surveillance camera, because the incongruity of the marble brilliantly cements Big Brother in such an inconceivable, permanent way.

I Got “Cancelled” Years Ago for My Opinions on Gun Control

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

I’ve never spoken about this publicly, because I eschew victim mentality and, at the time, nine years ago, I couldn’t really believe it was going down the way it seemed to be–this was before there was a term for getting rid of people in the workplace whose opinions you didn’t like.

I made the post below on Facebook, set to my “friends” originally, except most of my work colleagues were, I thought at the time at least, “my friends.” Soon after this post, the chair of the NH Writers’ Project board took me out to dinner to chastise me, telling me my opinion was not acceptable. Honestly I don’t remember all of the details of what was said, but I do know I was sobbing at the dinner table, so it was definitely unpleasant and belittling.

Soon after, my then boss left NHWP, telling me that everything was set up and that I would be appointed as interim executive director, and then officially promoted when the board approved the appointment at the next meeting. Thinking I had just landed my ultimate dream job–running the NH Writers’ Project, putting on exciting arts events across New Hampshire, including Writers’ Day, our flagship annual event, which in my five years with the organization I had revamped from a money-losing mess into a record-breaking, money-making success–I took a much needed vacation to recharge. While on vacation in Honduras, I was informed they’d hired someone else as the executive director but that I could stay on for the time being in my current part-time role.

Now that I understand the socialist playbook is all about silencing people you disagree with instead of debating the actual issues raised, I know I was simply a very early victim of cancel culture. So early, it didn’t even have a name yet!

People who know me know I’m an early adopter of good ideas, which means, like most early adopters, you run the danger of being unpopular until your time comes.

My time will come.

In the meantime, I’m batting pretty well about my predictions for the future, including:

1. NH being the best place to live if you value liberty;
2. Bitcoin and crypto being the best hedge against inflation and money creation;
3. We’d all be better off with less government. Every single one of us;
4. Corona-fascism is real and they are trying to implement a global population/movement control system using vaccine passports as an excuse; and
5. Guns are the only thing making America not look more like Australia or Austria right now. Molon labe.
