City Bans BEARCAT Promotional Video from Being Shown at Committee Meeting
Ian Freeman, a blogger at FreeKeene.com, sent us this update about the growing opposition to the further militarization of local law enforcement in Keene.
I was told today by city staff that I would be disallowed from showing the LENCO video promoting their BEARCAT attack vehicle.
LENCO’s head salesman, Jim Massery admitted on the phone today that he didn’t think it should be shown to the council as it’s intended to market to the police.
Of course, that’s the point. LENCO is not marketing the BEARCAT to police as a rescue vehicle, as the council has been told. The
councilors should see how this monstrosity is being promoted. If you haven’t, please watch the video that the city attorney doesn’t want you or the city commission to see:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vm4bzV31k14 This video was changed to unlisted after Ian’s inquiries. Now, only those with the link can see it.
(Also, note that LENCO changed the permissions on their video to make it so it is not searchable and also so it can’t be embedded on other websites…like this one.) Then come out on Thursday evening as people speak out against it. It’s our chance to reverse the deal and say, “Thanks but no tanks!”
LENCO’s head of sales also said he’d be attending the Keene committee meeting, which tells me LENCO doesn’t quite think they have this sale in-the-bag.
Fr33 Agents have downloaded this video from the LENCO YouTube channel in case they attempt to remove this video which depicts militarized agents of the State using increasingly agressive tactics to “Thunder” by AC/DC.
We’re not the only ones asking Why do America’s police need an armored tank? Let us know your thought in the comments.
Army veteran calls “Support Hotline”, SWAT team shows up
In Fairfax, VA, Army reservist Matthew Corrigan, was suffering from depresion and decided to call what he thought to be a “Military Emotional Support Hotline.” The number was in fact, the National Suicide Hotline. While Mr. Corrigan spoke with the representative on the other line, he answered several questions in which he stated that he was a veteran and a gun owner. The young man said nothing of suicidal tendencies or harming anyone with his firearm during this brief conversation. After Corrigan turned his phone off, he took his sleeping medication and fell asleep.
At approximately 4 a.m. in the morning Mr. Corrigan awoke to his name being called over a bullhorn while flood lights covered his home. Police and SWAT team had surrounded his house with firearms drawn. Mr. Corrigan exited his home and locked the door behind him just before being handcuffed and thrown into the back of a SWAT truck. At this time Mr. Corrigan was asked by officers to give them his key. Corrigan stated ‘There is no way I am giving you consent to enter my place.’ According to the complaint filed by Mr. Corrigan one officer stated:
I don’t have time to play this constitutional bullshit!
The law enforcer then ordered the other officers to enter Corrigan’s home. Mr. Corrigan was taken to the VA hospital when police broke into his residence without a warrant, confiscated 3 of his firearms, destroyed property and took his dog to an animal shelter. Three days later after staying at the VA hospital and declared not to be a suicide risk, Mr. Corrigan was released only to be rearrested and placed in jail for almost 16 days. When Corrigan returned to his apartment, he found the front door unsecured, the stove left on, and every drawer and shelf dumped into piles along with everything in his closets.
Mr. Corrigan is seeking more than $500,000 in damages from the government for constitutional violations.

Senate votes for domestic surveilance drones in U.S. airspace
Despite the ACLU’s warnings that domestic law enforcement agencies use of aerial drones could undermine Americans privacy rights, the U.S. Senate passed the $63 billion bill on Monday with a vote of 70 to 20. This piece of legislation is now on it’s way to President Obama’s desk for what is expected to be signed into law. H.R. 658 Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2011 would allow for police agencies to operate any drone within certain weight limits inside U.S. airspace. Jay Stanley of the ACLU said, “This bill would push the nation willy-nilly toward an era of aerial surveillance without any steps to protect the traditional privacy that Americans have always enjoyed and expected.” As the U.S. Government passes such draconian legislation as the National Defense Authorization Act, or better known as, the indefinite detention bill, Americans are seeing an accelerated thrust towards a technological dictatorship in the form of unmanned aircraft flying above what has now been designated as a “battlefield” here on U.S. soil.

Bradley Manning Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
We have the great honor of nominating Private First Class Bradley Manning for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize. Manning is a soldier in the United States army who stands accused of releasing hundreds of thousands of documents to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The leaked documents pointed to a long history of corruption, war crimes, and imperialism by the United States government in international dealings. These revelations have fueled democratic uprising around the world, including a democratic revolution in Tunisia. According to journalists, his alleged actions helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements, shed light on secret corporate influence on our foreign policies, and most recently contributed to the Obama Administration agreeing to withdraw all U.S.troops from the occupation in Iraq. Bradley Manning has been incarcerated for well over a year by the U.S. government without a trial. He spent over ten months of that time period in solitary confinement, conditions which experts worldwide have criticized as torturous. Juan Mendez, the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on Torture and Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, has repeatedly requested and been denied a private meeting with Manning to assess his conditions. The documents made public by WikiLeaks should never have been kept from public scrutiny. The revelations – including video documentation of an incident in which American soldiers gunned down Reuters journalists in Iraq – have helped to fuel a worldwide discussion about America’s overseas engagements, civilian casualties of war, imperialistic manipulations, and rules of engagement. Citizens worldwide owe a great debt to the WikiLeaks whistleblower for shedding light on these issues, and so I urge the Committee to award this prestigious prize to accused whistleblower Bradley Manning.Members of the Icelandic Parliament for The Movement
Despite beng alone in a government cage, Private First Class Bradley Manning has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Manning is alleged to have released many documents to the international whistleblower site Wikileaks, including the horrific “Collateral Murder” video which shows soldiers for the U.S. Empire in a helicopter callously and gleefully killing a group of unarmed Iraqi civilians and Reuters journalists.
Manning has been accused of leaking classified information and has been imprisoned since May of 2010.
In a letter to the members of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Iceland’s Movement of the Icelandic Parliament group explained that they were compelled to put forth Manning for the prize because it is vital to recognize how the courageous efforts this individual made have positively impacted the peace process in our world.
