Guns, Weed, and Bitcoin: Among the Free Staters at Porcfest
FEATURE: What I saw at the Porcupine Freedom Festival
BY: CJ Ciaramella

I'm only posting like the first 20% of the article.

Quote
LANCASTER, N.H.—There is a specter haunting New Hampshire—the specter of libertarianism—and every year it holds a huge party in the middle of the woods where people carry guns, smoke weed, prepare for the collapse of society, and trade Bitcoin for beer.

Since 2001, libertarians have been trickling into New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. The aim is to turn the Granite State into the freest, least-regulated place in the nation. There are around 1,500 Free Staters in New Hampshire now, and most of them congregate every year at the Porcupine Freedom Festival, a weeklong party where just about anything goes.

The movement has confused some in New Hampshire who weren’t aware they were living in an authoritarian police state, and has alarmed Democrats who love the government. Democratic state Rep. Cynthia Chase once called the Free Staters the “single biggest threat the state is facing.”

I travelled to the 11th annual Porcfest, as it’s known by attendees, to see this domestic threat for myself. The festival is located at a private campground a mile or so outside the town of Lancaster, up in northern New Hampshire among the White Mountains.

In the midst of this verdant scenery, more than 1,000 hardcore libertarians gather every year to live out their idea of a society free from overbearing government.

In the backwoods of New Hampshire there is not much in the way of light pollution and with our elevation at PorcFest this is the perfect opportunity for checking out the summer stars.

The Porcfest Star Parties are an opportunity for those of all ages and skill levels to get a chance to observe the sky through a telescope, learn how to pick out star groups and, as so many in the past, marvel in the beauty of the night sky.

Tuesday http://sched.co/1jXBaub
and Thursday http://sched.co/1nCdSet
at PorcFest. Join the event

We all want a cavernous mansion on hundreds of acres of land, but what if you are more limited in space? Tiny homes let you build the (mini) castle of your dreams on any sized property.

Come and learn about building tiny homes Tuesday at Porcfest http://sched.co/QphRA0

With the continuing march of the surveillance state, it's more important than ever to understand how to protect yourself. At PorcFest this year we have two sessions that allow you to do just that; understand how you are being surveilled and the countermeasures you can take to prevent it.

Wednesday: Becoming NSA-Proof http://sched.co/1jXyE7c


Saturday: Worried about NSA Spying? Learn Counterveillance! http://sched.co/1ewk8h2

The Rubber Room - Not Safe for Work / Re: anti freekeene

FSP has not disown FK so FK is still part of FSP.

Sillytroll is sillier than sillyperson. Since FK was never a part of the FSP, the FSP cannot disown FK. The only legal connections that I know of are that FK helps sponsor PorcFest and Liberty Forum. All kind of groups have done that from political parties, to PACs to book stores and so on.

FK is *not* the FSP.
I am merely the one of the most vocal anti-FK members of FSP. Many of the most effective activists I've spoken to -- the ones who are profoundly libertarian, yet are liked and in some cases elected by their neighbors in town -- share the opinion that FK has, as a whole, been on balance at least somewhat of a negative, a liability, a detriment, to the goal of Liberty in our Lifetime, within NH.
Not because of the motives, but because of the implementation. It's just very confrontational, in your face, very un-New-England, very un-New-Hampshire.

And I can already hear Ian's cognitive dissonance rationalizations kicking in.
Dude... the brand is so bad, it's like maybe they should start killing puppies or advocating for cannibalism. It AMAZINGLY bad. Talk about losing the battle for hearts and minds!

FSmember1111 was a troll on this forum and the FSP Forum. The Free State Project doesn't have members.

Not satisfied with Big Gay Dance Party and UNCE this year we have also added the Big Goth Dance Party. Pull out your Dr. Martens, put an unhealthy amount of hairspray in your hair and dance the night away to the best EBM & Industrial tracks.

I'd hope that the No income tax, no sales tax gun owners in CT vote with their feet by moving to NH :) The next big rally is tomorrow and there are supposed to be 1/2 a dozen free staters there, handing out FSP flyers. For the folks that stay in CT, I hope the state doesn't build a new jail for them :(
