TalleyTV Arrested for “Chillaxing”

I am reposting this article from another blog I follow. Some Fr33 Agents are mentioned.

This article was originally published by the Free-Hater News Dec. 23, 2011:



Boom! Two Arrests Before Annual Christmas Party!

Keene, NH - So I walk into Judge Arnold’s courtroom, and that monster Ian Freeman is sitting there for a hearing about Thomas Ball*. His Free-Stater loons were all sitting behind him so pathetic, but wait! No cameras?! “Hell yeah,” I thought. I put on my toughest game-face and pointed with my mightiest finger and walked with my most German march and told them if they don’t remove their hats or stand for the judge, they’ll be arrested. They think they’re hardcore, sitting there looking stoned and motionless. John** walks in, the free-stoners remained seated, and I asked him if I could arrest them. He said yeah so you know the fun is about to begin!

I went over to go put cuffs on these people but then realized I couldn’t possibly arrest all of them at once, as strong and agile as I am. I called for backup and my buddy came and helped me block these guys into a corner. Some of the wimps threw up their hands and said they were leaving under duress and made stupid comments about how WE should be respectful! Can you believe it? I mean these people seriously have the gall to come in and disrespect my friend John like that and think nothing’s gonna happen? Not on my watch! I’m what the taxpayers want. They want me there to make sure this baloney like wearing hats indoors doesn’t fly. Happy to help, taxpayers.

It was pretty awesome arresting these two. The one guy and girl thought they were sooooo cool ’cause they didn’t have to stand up when John walked in the room. Like they were just going to relax and just make themselves at home sitting there ignoring everyONE and everyTHING in the courtroom. What’re you doing there if you’re not going to follow the rules? You’re gonna get thrown out. Duh.

The guy called TalleyTV weighed about 180 lbs and was built like a brick outhouse. The wimpy baby got down on the floor and I dragged him across the floor through the courthouse to a paddywagon where I waved goodbye. The girl called Kelly Voluntaryist had no problem walking herself. I don’t know how such a pretty girl learned to be so disobedient. Both of them are part of some website called Fr33 Agents. Sounds like a bunch of dissidents who need me to put ‘em in their place.

Well, crazy day, but it looks like I won my bet with the other bailiffs***. One day I’ll have enough saved up for that penis enlargement surgery, and I won’t need this job to get my kicks. Until then, I’ll see you in court!

Now Blogging at FreeKeene.com

KEENE – I’m happy to report that I’ll be blogging at FreeKeene.com. I’ll be spending more time here and the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund, where I’m the managing director, is establishing an office at the Keene Activism Center.

I’ll still be blogging here at Talley.TV, of course, as well as CDEvolution.org. Much of my content for Free Keene will originate from the Keene specific posts to this blog and feature new episodes of Talley.TV.

Expect a change to the content you see here. With so much other video talent in Keene (and so much activity) I’ll be changing my focus to covering events live and interviewing activists, especially those who disobey bad laws.

Here’s what Ian had to say at Free Keene:

If you’ve been reading Free Keene for a while, you know Jason. He’s a prolific activist, a big supporter of civil disobedience, and a talented videographer and editor. I was excited when Free Keene was able to sponsor his videos, but I’m even more excited that he has seen fit to make the move from the woods of Grafton to the urban small town of Keene! Now, he joins FK as a blogger! Here’s his bio from the bloggers page:

Jason Talley (“talleytv”) – Jason Talley reports from the front lines of freedom at Talley.TV and is the Managing Director of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund. In both of these roles Jason advocate for the victims of government violence and finds common cause with those who work to replace the State’s perceived monopoly with a voluntary society which respects the principles of liberty, justice and peace.

Jason has been actively advancing the ideas of liberty for over a decade. He left Washington, DC to “search for freedom in America” as the creator and crew member of the Motorhome Diaries. In April 2010, Jason was the 806th person to move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. Soon after witnessing the State of New Hampshire’s ongoing war against peaceful people he invoked his right to revolution and is much happier being part of the Shire community.

FreeKeene.com was recently listed as the 37th most popular libertarian website and is a sponsor of Talley.TV episodes featuring the following ad:

Crowd Sings the “State Free Dance” at the Jefferson Memorial

WASHINGTON, DC – On June 4th, a week after the violent crackdown by employees of the U.S. Park Police, hundreds of people travelled to the Jefferson Memorial to take a stand for freedom and to protest the police brutality witnessed on the viral video showing government employees choke and body slam peaceful dancers.

This episode of Talley.TV takes place after the successful disobedient dancing inside the memorial. Standing on the steps outside the memorial, some people took the microphone, provided by Code Pink, to share their favorite Thomas Jefferson quotes, speak about other abuses by the Park Police, and discuss other issues of importance. I plugged my tablet into the sound system and began playing the State Free Dance song produced by Hannah Hoffman. When she heard the song playing she excitedly took the microphone and led everyone in singing.

Read Hannah’s account and download the State Free Dance MP3 here.

This was a team effort. The video was taken by Ron Nair, who you can hear in the beginning of the video passing out the flyers he designed. The flyers were funded by PorcFest to advertise their “State Free Dance Party” at the Porcupine Freedom Festival. The food and transportation expenses to DC were covered by the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund, thanks to donations by our supporters. In addition to being an organizer of the event, Eddie Free hosted Rob, Hannah and I at his home for several days. The crowd in attendance was largely due to Adam Kokesh (seen at the end hugging Eddie) and his following on RT.

It was a lot of work and logistical hurdles but we took a stand and along with hundreds of others, we were victorious.

One month later, on July 4th (aka IndepenDANCE Day), disobedient dancers returned to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial with fewer numbers, similar to the May 28th event.

Instead of chocking and body-slamming the peaceful dancers, the armed employees of the U.S. Park Police watched five people enjoy what Thomas Jefferson called a “healthy and elegant exercise.” Despite trying to intimidate dancers with assault rifles, armored vehicles and vests, U.S. Park Police refused to enforce the judge’s order banning dancing at the Jefferson Memorial. Victory belonged to the peaceful yet disobedient dancers. The State knows what to do with violent people, since they speak that language, but are totally unprepared for peaceful and entertaining resistance as demonstrated at the Jefferson Memorial.

Disobedient Dancer and CODEPINK Co-Founder speaks with Talley.TV

Reposted from Talley.TV:

Normally I stay behind the camera but Rob Nair captured my conversation with Code Pink Co-Founder Medea Benjamin the evening before she returned to the Jefferson memorial for some civil danceobedience. A lot of people oppose Code Pink and have an unfavorable opinion of the dance party because of their association. But others may have the same reaction to my involvement or Adam Kokesh’s presence. Every disobedient dancer had a reason for disobeying a bad law and Medea was kind enough to give me an opportunity to discuss our different points of view.

I can’t tell you why Madea danced (I should have asked) but here is what her website, codepink4peace.org tells us about her:

Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization Global Exchange. She has been an advocate for social justice for more than 30 years. Described as “one of America’s most committed — and most effective — fighters for human rights” by New York Newsday, and called “one of the high profile leaders of the peace movement” by the Los Angeles Times, Medea has distinguished herself as an eloquent and energetic figure in the progressive movement.

CODEPINK describes itself as:

a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end U.S. funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect our resources into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. Won’t you join us?

Here’s Madea talking to Adam Kokesh on his Russia Today show:

And the video produced by Code Pink about Madea’s triumphant return to the Jefferson Memorial where she danced unmolested by the U.S. Park Police:

Madea and I may not agree on the issues but I like her style. If only Code Pink’s “women for peace” would help end the wars at home in addition to U.S. Emire building we’d have more to dance about.

Thanks to the financial support by the donors to the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund who made this trip, and video, possible.

Liberty on Tour Interviews CD Evolution Director Talley

From LibertyonTour.com:

Jason Talley, who partook in Motorhome Diaries with Pete and myself, is the managing director of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund (CDEvolution). An organization that – per its website, “works to restore freedom and support liberty by acting as a bridge between liberty activists and supporters. The fund works primarily in an administrative support function with volunteers to communicate directly with activists to ensure that they are supported and the event is a success.” We had the pleasure to reunite with Jason while in Grafton and took that opportunity to discuss CDevolution’s activists.

We support activists, the good people who disobey bad laws.

Ademo continues:

As an activist who’s been caged for non-compliance I can’t stress enough the importance of such an organization. They do great work now but the good people who disobey bad laws could always use more support, consider donating to the CDEvolution fund today.

Thanks Ademo! The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund is proud to support Beau, Ademo and Pete as Liberty on Tour embarks on their Free State Friendship Tour. Check them out. Here’s a photo of me and the LOT crew after my interview in Free Grafton:

Welcome to the Shire, fellas!
