Or at least people are now calling me a terrorist and calling for my indefinite detention as a result of my taking on the corruption happening in Cheshire County.

“Brad Jardis in my observation is a terrorist plain and simple. All he has done along with his so called activists friends has started violence against Judge Burke because they got caught breaking the law. It is a good thing the NDAA passed because Brad Jardis needs to be taken off the streets because of his violence.”

All my violence’eh? You apparently forgot to read this.

Why would they need the NDAA to come after me right now for what I am reporting if I was actually breaking the law? Everyone knows the NDAA is meant to only silence people who would be victorious in court.

Could it be because I am right?

From the comment section of my interview on the Ridley Report.

On Friday I am commissioning my first ever official “overview” of government misconduct. The presentation will detail my case as to precisely how Keene Circuit Court-District Division Presiding Judge Edward Burke violated state law, the state Constitution, and judicial canons by telling a lie to have someone arrested. A lie that constituted False Reports to Law Enforcement, a crime under state law. A crime that if the exact facts and circumstances were brought before him in a criminal case where you did the same thing, he would find you guilty.

I am quite familiar with the crime as I have arrested people and prepared prosecution cases for it before. Judge Burke should have been arrested by now for what he did… but lucky for him, it appears that his friends in government are protecting him.

The presentation I will be burning to DVD and distributing to Governor John Lynch, the Executive Council, and every member of the New Hampshire General Court. Every mainstream media outlet in New Hampshire will also be receiving a copy.

Judicial Canon #2, the code of conduct for judges, reads as follows:

A JUDGE SHOULD AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN ALL OF THE JUDGE’S ACTIVITIES

I presume that includes impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge’s interactions with members of the free press who are asking constitutionally protected questions.  Especially when our own Constitution says:

FREE SPEECH AND LIBERTY OF THE PRESS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SECURITY OF FREEDOM IN A STATE: THEY OUGHT, THEREFORE, TO BE INVIOLABLY PRESERVED.

(not taken away in a creative attempt to cover up a criminal offense)

Ian and I took to the streets to ask Keene residents what they think about the Lenco BEARCAT.

I’m on my way to the post office to send the following three letters to high ranking law enforcement officers in New Hampshire regarding the online comments of a threatening tone made against Judge Burke.

- United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire Kacavas
- New Hampshire Attorney General Delaney
- Cheshire County Attorney Heed
- Administrative Office of the Courts Director Goodnow

I believe the threatening rhetoric involved is protected speech under Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969) as it doesn’t seem to infer imminent lawless action, but using or threatening violence is unacceptable in a civilized society.

What is it that defines good? According to Webster’s dictionary, it is defined as “being positive or desirable in nature “. Is good then a subjective value to be determined by each individual according to what they find desirable? If that were the case it would mean that there is no such thing as good or evil, that man’s life has no meaning, that there is no existence outside of consciousness; that the world is nothing but an accidental playground of pure, unbridled nihilism and that we are the devil’s children with empty, cackling, infinite nothingness as our total sanction and final purpose. While looking to any form of mainstream media at various interludes might depict this to be the case, rationality tells us quite differently; and although my overall faith in the human race is sometimes lacking I highly doubt that such a concept accounts for the inner beliefs of anyone but a psychopath.

If good is not subjective – determined by the consciousness of whomever one is asking – is it then intrinsic? Are certain things simply good in and of themselves, requiring no sanction? The intrinsic theory of values unfortunately is responsible for almost as many horrors as the ridiculous concept of “public interest” (social theory of ethics). The intrinsic theory of values provides the logical base for the idea that since certain things are simply good and certain things are simply bad, it doesn’t matter how they are achieved. For instance: terrorism is bad and safety is good, thus whatever must be done to combat terrorism and guarantee safety must be moral. According to the intrinsic theory of values, the internment of thousands of Japanese-Americans during World War II was perfectly moral, and according to the intrinsic theory of values it would also be perfectly moral to throw every Muslim on earth in front of a firing squad…or in a gas chamber.

Value cannot be characterized independently of reality nor of consciousness. It must as fact of matter be a seamless integration of both, using total rational consciousness to build its meaning with the building blocks of reality; primary axioms which exist and their logical corollaries. This is objective value. Existence exists, consciousness exists, life exists, and man’s life exists. As such man’s purpose is to live free, to thrive, and above all, to create. Good is what forewords life; evil is what spins life out of control to its demise, the concept of irrationality, the idea that life and its corollaries, including principles of non-aggression and self -ownership, do not matter and are not subject to the laws of existence.

For taking such a firm stance on people thinking threats of violence against public officials is funny or a joke. It isn’t. At all. You don’t do it, ever.

Why? Well a friend of mine, and a known active-duty federal agent in libertarian circles, summed it up rather eloquently:

“Perceived as a threat? Remember, we’re talking about the man who swore upon his office that Ademo threatened him about a ruling he had made, when there wasn’t even any implication that something bad could happen to him.

(Adam Mueller) was asking legitimate questions in a perfectly civil way, yet got thrown in jail for “threatening” Burke. You think he won’t use any trolling or joking as evidence that he’s right?

Remember, Burke is a collectivist. He thinks we’re all one blob-like entity, acting in union. He has zero understanding of individualism. His fellow judges are pretty much of like mind, so some seemingly harmless anonymous comment on a blog, in their minds, is the same as Brad or Jason directly threatening them.”

Remember also, the people breaking the law and Constitution are the only ones who can use violence, not only to solve problems, but to make you respect them.

Burke has the legal right under state law not to be threatened in this manner. He also has legal rights under the 5th Amendment to the Federal Constitution and Part I, Article 15 of the New Hampshire Constitution that I hope are read to him rather soon.

Demand government accountability!

I was just reading the comment section on the Ridley Report regarding Keene Circuit Court-District Division Presiding Judge Edward Burke breaking the law and thus far getting away with it. I was very saddened to see the following comment:

I am sending this comment, and every one that is brought to my attention afterwards, to the Cheshire County Attorney and the Administrative Office of the Courts Security Director. Judge Burke may have broken the law, but he also deserves its protection… even if it can be proven that at times he doesn’t afford other people the same courtesy.

Please, if you’re a New Hampshire resident and this upsets you, reach out to your local state representatives and/or state senator. You can also contact the following:

Robert T. Mittelholzer, Esquire, Executive Secretary

Newmarket, NH 03857
Phone: (603) 292-1825
Fax: (603) 292-1827

If you see any threats of violence, please, notify the authorities immediately. These things need to be dealt with in a civilized manner.

UPDATE: Unless you’re the authorities, as you’ve already notified yourself (and the public you answer to) that you intend on being violent.

Shame on you.

The Huffington Post article has spawned other coverage, like in Homeland Security News Wire.

This blog is made pursuant to NH Rules of Professional Conduct 3.6 (c) (2) and (c) (6) as the testimony I am referring to below was given at a public hearing at the New Hampshire Supreme Court, and thus, it is part of a public record. Additionally, the people of New Hampshire should be aware of the danger to the public interest.

As the time approaches where the string of events leading up to State v. Jason Talley becomes more and more public, I would like to remind the New Hampshire Supreme Court (and the news media) that at the “Rule 78” hearing on 12/16/11, (the rule about restrictions of New Hampshire’s Constitution Part I, Article 22 in the court system) that I attended, I stood right in front of you, on camera, and told you exactly how the courts were “inviolably” preserving the right to the freedom of the press in Cheshire County: a crime was committed by a sitting judge and high ranking judicial officials stripped rights away in an attempt to try and change the story.

I was even happy to see the former judge that I used to testify to as a police officer present on the panel. I figured it was beneficial to have someone on the panel who knows I am not a liar.

I spoke the truth, on camera, about the judicial cover-up occurring after Adam Mueller’s illegal arrest and how it ensnared Jason Talley. I was apparently ignored.

As Part II, Article 73-a makes you, the Supreme Court, the boss of all the lower courts in New Hampshire, I hope you are preparing to explain to the public how you were told specifically how a crime was being covered up in Cheshire County by judicial officers you supervise, but apparently did nothing about it.

^— This man spent two days incarcerated for a crime he never committed. He spent two days incarcerated for constitutionally protected activity.

Hold Judge Burke and the other judges who are involved accountable because it is the ethical thing to do… not because politics forces you to do so later.

You’re not above the law… you’re entrusted with it.

Meet the ladies of FEMEN. These Ukranian women took off their tops to protest a gas monopoly in Russia – oh, and it was -25C at the time.

FK blogger Brad Jardis is taking on the court system:

From Radley Balko‘s Huffington Post article on the Keene BearCat issue:

“These people are crazy,” Massery said. “They hate cops. They hate the government. They remind me of the Jehovah’s Witnesses who take on the Red Cross. Why is anyone listening to them?”

Jim Massery (right), standing in front of the BearCat

I must say that I found this statement from Jim Massery, the Lenco representative I met at the city council meeting on the BearCat, to be a bit confusing.  Jim and I had had a good conversation following the BearCat meeting in which he stated that Keene had the most passion in standing up to police militarization that he had ever seen.  So why is he quoted on the Huffington Post as saying I’m crazy?  If I’m crazy, why did he even bother to hold a conversation with me, much less to pay me such a nice compliment?

If he thinks I’m some whack-job, why didn’t he stand for his opinions and tell me so to my face?

That doesn’t really sound like the way a Christian ought to conduct himself.

Radley’s article continues:

The Keene city council will take up the issue again next month. Massery predicted opposition from Keene residents will ultimately be in vain. “We have Bearcats in 90 percent of the 100 or so largest cities in America,” Massery said. “This is going to happen. It has already happened. To resist now would be like saying police officers should scrap the Glock and go back to the revolver. It’s a fantasy.”

Jim, I am a Christian.  Jesus Christ was a peace activist.  You claim to be a Christian, yet you’re going to sit there and say that peace is a fantasy?

That doesn’t really sound like something a Christian would say.

Additionally, we the “citizens” of Keene do not want to have a BearCat in our peaceful city, and we the “citizens” have worked very hard to express our feelings.

Jim, are you saying that our feelings do not matter and that you would like to force us to have a BearCat in our city?

That sure doesn’t sound like something a Christian would do.  Personally, I’m starting to think that you do not understand the teachings of Christ at all, Jim.

And here’s the real kicker, again from Radley’s article:

“All we do is make trucks,” Massery said. “How the trucks are used after the police department gets them isn’t something we can control. You’ll have to ask the police department or city council and Keene about that.”

Jim, if you were alive during the life of Christ, and if you worked for the company that made the cross on which he was crucified, would you be able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning or fall asleep at night?  Would you?  Would you truly feel that how the crosses were used after you sold them to the people who murdered Christ is none of your responsibility?

If nobody manufactured crosses, upon what would Christ have died?  Or would he have died at all?  Have you ever thought about that, Jim?

Are you really a Christian, Jim?

On your blog, you claim to be a Conservative, Christian, Citizen.

However, your actions prove that you’re nothing but a hypocrite and a fraud.

This blog is made pursuant to NH Rules of Professional Conduct 3.6 (c) (2) and (c) (6) as the below have been filed with the Cheshire County Superior Court and the people of New Hampshire should be aware of the danger to the public interest.

The New Hampshire Judicial Branch belongs to the people of this state, not the people who hold (and have abused) positions of power within it.

- Motion To Change Venue .PDF

In the words of a frequent FreeKeene.com commenter and critic on our Motion To Dismiss charges against Jason, “enslave keene” stated:

For all that know me and probably wish I would just go away, let me call a spade a spade here and say Judge Burke messed up big here. The fact he did this to a person or persons I personally find to be of low integrity does not negate the fact that a standing judge did abuse very special powers granted him under the assumption of honest execution of those powers.

Judge Burke, you messed up. You let “them” get under your skin, I get it but sorry you have got to stand accountable for this one.

… as do the New Hampshire Judicial Branch officials who enacted rules restricting constitutional rights as a result of his criminal conduct.

Local talk radio listeners have probably noticed that hatemongering neocon Mark Levin is no longer on the air on WKBK. Program Director Dan Mitchell explained that Levin has been dumped off of all of Saga Communications’ talk stations nationwide. (Update – Saga’s WGAN told me they still have Levin. So, that was inaccurate.) Unfortunately, WKBK did not opt to replace him with Keene’s own “Free Talk Live“. Thankfully, Clear Channel’s WSPD in Toledo, OH did just that.

To give you some idea of who this Levin character is, I submit the following: In a stunning example of poor customer service, Levin attacks WSPD Program Director Brian Wilson in an email he angrily sent upon discovering his show was canceled by Wilson. In this YouTube video, a listener has cribbed clips from a recent episode of Free Talk Live, where we read the emails, which I shall also paste below: (Also, credit to the Ron Paul Forums for blowing this up viral-style.)

Here’s Levin talking about his cancellation on-air:

Here are the emails:

This was my reply to your previous re the Levin contract expiration:

< >

You will notice there is no “agreement” made or mentioned.
In fact, in response to Mark’s outrageous diatribes, mis- and dis-information slanderously leveled at Ron Paul, Tom Woods, Lew Rockwell – personal and professional friends of mine – I will be exploring other programming options effective immediately.

You are welcome to share with Mark my early admiration for his focus on Constitutional principles, their absence from most of what passes for governance and how that compelled me to add his show to the WSPD line-up. You may also share that while I heartily endorse lively on-air debate/discussions on virtually any subject, the verbal and written abuse he heaped on these Constitutional scholars who individually have done more throughout their careers to advance Liberty and Freedom than Mark ever will with his scorched-earth, egomaniacal diatribes is not good radio programming or content on my station. Complaints from my listeners would tend to support that.

I’ve been in this business 47 years, on great radio stations like WABC, WMAL, WBAP, KSFO, WBT; I’ve even owned my own station. Despite being confined to Toledo, I know more than “tiny market” about radio and how it works. Despite his difficult voice quality – about which we spoke prior to signing him to WSPD – I admired his writing and efforts on behalf of Liberty. Now it appears his vanity has been “over-served” Rush Limbaugh’s “ice tea/Kool Aide” and, like Rush, thinks way more of himself than can be objectively sustained.

If Mark ever gets a grip on his rational self – or develops the class and courtesy to apologize to the three gentlemen mentioned above – I’ll give him another listen.

Re Your Email (see below)

Dear Brian:

I don’t think I have ever read a more unprofessional note from any program director. If you did not want to extent the show, you could have just canceled it. The fact that you are using your position as a program director and host on a Clear Channel station to front for the Ron Paul campaign and his friends is a disgrace.

As you are undoubtedly aware, Lew Rockwell was the editor of the Ron Paul letter, which were full of racist and anti-Semetic diatribes. His website is full of hateful and vile attacks against me and my religion. In fact, he is such an extremist that he has written about and posted piece attacking Ronald Reagan, William Buckley, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Thomas Sowell, and on and on. But you know all of this, don’t you Brian? After all, Rockwell is a friend, as you say. I could go on, but the fact is you know all about these folks. But when I and my religion are attacked by these people, I respond.

I also don’t appreciate you lecturing me about what I have done in my career over the last 40 years for the cause of liberty — whether serving Reagan, litigating against Obama policies in the Supreme Court, writing best-selling books on liberty and conservativism, and of course, my radio program. Your personal attacks about my career and my voice are outrageous. I also think your attack on Rush, who helps pay your salary and is the anchor of your company, by belittling his work and his audience is mind-boggling.

Perhaps you should consider leaving your job as PD and host in Toledo and joining the Paul campaign full-time, rather than abusing your positions as you are. I have been on WSPD since September 2006. Interesting that only now, during this phase of the Paul campaign, I don’t meet your standards. I have asked Darion, my affiliate relations manager, to send you a cancellation notice, given what you have written.

Mark

Finally, Brian lets Levin know how he really feels:

Dear Mr. Levin

Thanks for taking the time to write. Your missive confirms all my original misgivings about you – and then some.
I’m only surprised you didn’t type in ALL CAPS to better convey your Kindergarten temper fit.

If I “did not want to etent the show…”? Wow. Weren’t you typing with both fists?

FYI, counselor, your contract had already expired so you won’t be needing to send that “cancellation notice”. As with your mis- and uninformed diatribes, Due Diligence is as absent as your intellectual courage to respond to your spurious comments about Tom Woods and the War Powers Act. Or have you re-written the Constitution recently?

As to your continuing efforts to libel Lew Rockwell, maybe you could become pen-pals with LRC contributor David Gordon. I’ll leave it up to your crack research to determine Mr. Gordon’s religious convictions.

“Hateful attacks on me and my religion”? Seriously? As a renowned practitioner of law, please cite specifics. How about a link or two? Meanwhile, would you care to read Lew’s glowing articles on Murray Rothbard? Probably not. They would surgically remove the”un” from your uninformed.

If “extremist” Lew Rockwell “posted piece [sic] attacking….Tom Sowell”, how do you explain Dr. Sowell’s article archives at LewRockwell.com ( http://www.lewrockwell.com/sowell/sowell-arch.html)? I know the answer: you’d wouldn’t. Instead, you would treat us to a typical Levin soprano concerto, packed with flaccid repartee and void of fact.

No worries. Everyone here knows nothing deters The Grate One — which is sad knowing how desperate the Republic is for common sense, Constitutional fealty and reasoned response. Congratulations on your part in nurturing the collective ignorance via megalomania.

Yes, when not mercifully pre-empted by sporting events, you have been on my station since 2006, failing to produce even a modicum of the ratings produced by a former county commissioner (with no prior radio experience either) but a sharp eye for Liberty and Freedom and a respectful ear for the opinion of callers who disagreed with her. Sadly, I never got the same performance from you. Rather than improve with age and experience, you became spoiled and rancid, unfortunately following the roll model of others who started out exciting, compelling and entertaining only to swoon at the sound of their own voice (or “naked body”), blinded by the glare of their paychecks and taking the hysterical blathering of myrmidons as inspired hosannas. Along with them, you succumbed to the delusion of adequacy.

It’s true: you have your “radio program”, about as successful as your “litigation…in the Supreme Court”. But when you’re response to an objective programming decision based on vile, prejudiced, uninformed content combined with 5 years of poor ratings performance is met with adolescent ad homonyms, distortions and incoherent scribblings, your screed has the intellectual depth of a damp sponge.

As an obscure philosopher once wrote: “Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you’ll suck forever.”
Suck on, Mark, suck on.
And I say that with all due respect.

Brian Wilson

Considering that the front page of the school newspaper displays a graphic which actually appears as though a BearCat is driving right on through, I was a bit surprised that more students weren’t familiar with this issue already.  However, despite the cloudy grey afternoon, Ian, Derrick J., and I managed to distribute over 300 “Thanks, but no tanks” flyers to students throughout the KSC campus.

Most were extremely receptive and happy to take the flyer.  I continued the discussion past that point with quite a few students and received some pretty colorful feedback, ranging from surprise to dismay to anger.  Strong language was used in several instances, and one student pondered using the BearCat as a public restroom.

I can just picture the epic frathouse pranks that could be organized around the BearCat if the frathouse occupants so choose to have the courage to stand up to tyranny.  Hell, I might even participate.

Just kidding, of course.  Everyone knows I would never do anything like that

Nevertheless, the students of Keene State proved to me today that they are, for the most part, reasonable and peaceful young adults who definitely grasp the concept of the non-aggression principle.  I didn’t run into a single one who thought the Keene PD should have a BearCat at their disposal, although the on-shift manager of the student center (also a student) seemed to be a bit upset about the fact that I was passing out literature at the student center without first asking permission.  I politely explained that because I am forced to pay taxes which in turn support the state college, I stand behind my right to peacefully distribute information on campus.  When logic failed and she was still angry, I asked her if she was going to call the police to come take me to a cage and if she felt I belong in a cage for handing out literature.

She went behind the counter to use the phone; I passed out the rest of my flyers and left.  I’d made my point, and after all I am still out on PR bond for my chalking arrest!  I would like to make the point however that as the BearCat issue was so prominently featured in the KSC Equinox (school paper, graphic as shown above), it would be the height of hypocrisy to claim I don’t have the right to pass out my own literature concerning the BearCat at Keene State College.

Perhaps she was just having a bad day.  I hope to be able to have a peaceful discussion with her next time I visit KSC, which will likely be next week.  In the meantime, I’m looking forward to visiting the college more often and genuinely hope the students of KSC join me in saying “Thanks, but no tanks”!

In liberty,

Kelly
