Peace News Now has been away this week in Keene, New Hampshire, for the Keenevention! It was an amazing and historic event organized by Free State Project early-mover Ian Freeman of Free Talk Live. Over 100 people attended, coming from all over the country to check out Keene and listen to speakers and panel discussions. JJ Schlessinger gave a rousing speech on Saturday night that captivated a swelling audience. Panel discussions included topics such as “Ladies in Media,” “Robin Hooding,” “Direct Action,” “Tech,” and “LGBT.” There were also organized hikes so people could get out and explore the New Hampshire mountains, plus a Karaoke and Bowling Night! Some people took the opportunity while in Keene to visit Rich Paul in the Cheshire County House of Corrections. My favorite parts were probably the Peace Roundtable featuring Chris Cantwell and Ian Freeman, and the closing keynote speech given by Bryan Tann, a former jail guard at the Cheshire County House of Corrections. If you missed it, don’t worry. You can still make it to the other great liberty events happening in New Hampshire, like the Liberty Forum in February or PorcFest in June!

In other news, Adam Kokesh pleaded guilty today to a variety of charges associated with videotaping himself loading a shotgun a few blocks from the White House.

The 23-second video shows Adam a few blocks from the White House, loading live shells into a 12-gauge, pump-action shotgun while saying, quote “We are the final American Revolution. See you next Independence Day.”

Adam was released from D.C. jail, where he has been for four months. At his arraignment, Adam pled not guilty, saying, quote, “Due to the oath I swore to the Constitution when I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, by virtue of the universal human right to self-defense, in accordance with the Supreme Court case D.C. v. Heller, which affirmed that the statutes under which I am being charged are unconstitutional and thus null and void, and on behalf of all freedom loving Americans, I plead not guilty.”

A trial was set for Nov. 18, and Adam’s supporters advocated for jury nullification in his case. Now, two weeks later, at an unscheduled hearing, he announced that he has fired his attorney and hired a new one, and is now pleading guilty to carrying a shotgun, possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. He also pled guilty to possession of marijuana. Kokesh is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 17. The judge ordered Adam to stay out of DC, to report to supervising authorities weekly, and to ditch all his firearms. Adam faces more than six years in prison on the combined charges.

Speaking of jailed activists, a member of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot has disappeared after being transported from a prison 10 days ago, according to her family.

Nadya Tolokonnikova’s family has reported that she was last heard from October 21, when she was unexpectedly taken from her prison cell in the Russian Republic of Mordovia and moved with no explanation from Russian officials.

“No one knows anything,” her father Andrei Tolokonnikova said. “There’s no proof she’s alive, we don’t know the state of her health. Is she sick? Has she been beaten?”

In a protest against poor prison conditions, Tolokonnikova, who is 23 years-old, launched a hunger strike and also penned an “open letter” denouncing the “slave-like” work conditions at the prison colony she was housed at.

Her husband and a group of supporters regularly protested outside the prison’s walls, causing tension with prison officials.

Tolokonnikova and fellow band member Marla Alyokhina are set to be released in March after serving a two year sentence for, quote “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” stemming from a protest the group staged at a church.
