What Justice Should Look Like It’s Time for Civil DiscourseAfter five years in Nashua’s courts, I no longer believe the system fails by accident. It fails by design through silence, delay, and loyalty to power. Yet the damage isn’t irreversible. Real reform is still possible if New Hampshire decides that fairness matters more than familiarity. ... Read more

According to Google and AI, “Blessed are the peacemakers” is a biblical quote from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:9, meaning that those who actively work to create peace will be called the children of God. This is distinct from being a “peacekeeper,” who merely maintains a fragile status quo. Peacemakers actively resolve conflict by bringing ... Read more

New revelations about the ubiquitous presence of microplastics in food, water, clothing, and even the air we breathe have led to greater awareness and studies of possible deleterious health effects.

Back in August, Kamala Harris had suggested that she wasn’t going to run for President again in 2028. She told Stephen Colbert as much on not-quite-live television.

Mr. Bitcoin and Mr. Monero stand outside the Federal Reserve Bank and say fiat money is a scam.

The Shire Free Church, in cooperation with support from the Free State and Shire readers like you, is pleased to present the adventures of “Mr. Bitcoin & Friends” to educate and entertain children — or those of you that act like children — about Bitcoin.  You can always visit https://mrbitcoinandfriends.com or my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@TJTheSpy to see more show concept art and videos.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a mathematical, peer-to-peer, open-source digital cryptocurrency that is not backed or owned by any government, corporation, or legal entity.  Bitcoin is pure math and computer code running on the internet, making it difficult or impossible for anyone (including governments acting on behalf of their money printing central bankers) to stop, shut down, or control. Bitcoin is a new solution to a real and and growing problem in the world:  In what way do you keep your savings (in government fiat currency) from being destroyed by inflation?  A way that is digital, online, and decentralized.  A way that is free of “annual storage fees” and “currency conversion fees” because you sent your money across an imaginary line called a “border.”  A way that is voluntary and free-market.  Satoshi Nakimoto, our prophet, came and showed us such a way:  The way of Bitcoin.

Secret Agent Monero can only be seen if you know his secret “Viewing Key”

After reading Dave Ridley’s article about AI obliterating New Hampshire, I decided to take this opportunity to explore ChatGPT’s 4.0 and Google’s Veo 3 engines.  All the images and videos in this post are AI generated.  I am a mathematician and computer engineer by training.  Drawing was something I never practiced and I have no natural proclivity in that skillset.  But with AI, I can draw comic book characters like Mr. Bitcoin and his friend Secret Agent Monero who fight together to battle the inflation monster.  I don’t need to have any skills in 3D rendering, or video editing, or Photoshop.  With AI, I can use text prompts and images to generate amazing things like this short 8-second video:

Just a reminder…  I’m not a trained lawyer, so I make mistakes lawyers wouldn’t.  That said – I think it is high time the NH state government address the ghosts of its past and contrast them to its continued enforcement of victimless offenses against the peaceful.

So I drove to Keene today to comply with the interstate summons that Grafton County Attorney Martha Hornick had the Cheshire County Superior Court issue me with regards to Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire.

I have no information to report other than the fact that I witnessed Rob’s attorney meet with CA Hornick and then once we were all in the courtroom the CA told me I was being released from the summons.

I may have accidently failed to put coins in the meter where I parked outside the courthouse and was issued a parking ticket.  I went to the Keene City Hall and told them I wanted to be formally charged and issued a court date.

So I was.

I’m sorry to do this to you, Keene Police.  I have no argument with you or any rank-and-file “boots on the ground” law enforcement in New Hampshire.  I think you guys are heroes that risk your lives daily to protect innocent people from harm.  I also have great respect for the “Birthplace of New Hampshire law enforcement” and its Director, John Scippa.  Director Scippa was actually on staff for my Full-Time Academy class (the 121st).  He’s a great (hilarious) man.

My issue is with the upper echelon of the New Hampshire Judiciary and New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.

Don’t worry…  as I begin this case it won’t be long before the Attorney General’s Office gets involved takes it over from you.

Me and my $15 parking ticket are after the ability of the State of New Hampshire to punish peaceful people who commit victimless “crimes” while government elites are above the law.

Stay tuned.

The Pocket Judiciary In Nashua, justice doesn’t feel random. I was told that Superior Court cases are assigned through a “round-robin” system to keep things fair. Yet fifteen of my cases went to the same judge. This was simply not statistically possible, and patterns have meaning. That judge, Charles Temple, became the City’s go-to authority ... Read more
