Today I added Dogecoin and Namecoin to the list of crypto-currencies Peace News Now accepts. PNN is 100% viewer-sponsored and always has been since its inception in 2012. Please help to keep the message of peace pumping through the internet and airwaves by consistently opening your crypto-wallet to send a micropayment whenever you enjoy a blogpost or podcast. Until I can either get a PC or a Namecoin wallet that can work on a Mac, I am sending all of PNN’s Namecoin donations to the good folks at MeowBit.com for a very important project involving internet freedom. Thank you, if you’re one of the people who makes Peace News Now possible.
PNN Live #66 MeowBit Means Internet Freedom
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of sitting down to talk with Jay Noone, a volunteer firefighter, tax resister, and freedom-to-travel activist based in Massachusetts. In the second hour, I spoke with Michael W Dean about the freedom of the internet and how MeowBit is making it easier to achieve.

Is BitPay Anti-Guns?
Central Texas Gun Works, a popular gun store in Austin, accepts bitcoin as payment for everything they sell. Safety training, tshirts, shooting courses, and firearms. They not only sell all your favorite guns for bitcoin and ship them anywhere in the country, but they also have a bitcoin ATM in their store. They were one of the first in the country to have one, and they are long-time sponsors of projects in the liberty movement such as John Bush’s “The Liberty Beat“.
One blog is reporting that yesterday Central Texas Gun Works had its bitcoin account frozen by processor BitPay.
For those who jump the gun to point out the risk of large scale buying of illicit firearms, Michael clarifies every paying customer will need to fill out Form 4473, a United States government form that must be submitted when a person purchases a firearm from an authorized dealer. The FBI is informed and background checks are run before the transaction is completed. The store, earlier turned down by BitPay because of concerns over its firearms sales, has now partnered with CoinVoice to process its payments.
While I’m glad owner Michael Cargill was able to find a replacement processor so quickly, but I am shaking my head wondering, “Why would BitPay stop serving Michael?” I’ve tweeted them, but no response yet.

10p Michael Cargill centraltxgunworks.offers@gmail.com Big Announcement?
“Jon Stewart is very, very afraid of of us, apparently. Several emailers have written to inform me that Stewart did a small hit/smear job on Judge Andrew Napolitano on The Daily Showlast night. The ‘hit’ was about how the Judge wrote in one of his publications that the U.S. probably could have ended slavery the same way that New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and all the other Northern states did, as well as the British empire, Spanish empire, the French, Danes, Dutch, Swedes, and others during the nineteenth century, namely, peacefully. (See Jim Powell, Greatest Emancipations: How the West Ended Slavery; and Joanne Pope Melish, Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and Race in New England, 1780-1860). No, no, said Stewart and pals, 750,000 dead Americans , more than double that number maimed for life, and the total destruction of the voluntary union of the founders was the only way to go. Southerners, six percent of whom owned slaves, ‘were willing to die to preserve slavery’ announced the renowned historian Jon Stewart. The Great Oz (er, I mean, The Great Abe) did what was necessary said the great historical sage and his cast of clowns,” says Thomas DiLorenzo.

GAY THING:
William KielyDerrick J Freeman
Tomasz Kaye: “George Takei apparently believes it’s acceptable to use threats of violence (via the state) to compel people to associate with one another against their will. Reprehensible.”http://www.policymic.com/articles/83189/you-don-t-deserve-our-dollars-george-takei-s-scathing-open-letter-to-arizona via We the Individuals
Derrick J Freeman, you’re the most vocal gay libertarian on this issue I am aware of. Thanks.
James Anderson An important thing to note in this case is that the State controlled monopolies and cartels – state agencies, taxi services, business unions, etc. – should NOT be allowed to discriminate, because they only exist due to the State’s violence. Private businesses should of course be able to discriminate – you wouldn’t want to force a Jewish deli to serve a neo-Nazi, would you? But in the case of the state granting special rights to privileged businesses, it becomes a little unclear whether this bill would actually help or harm liberty.
Certainly though, I’d think gay people would already choose to boycott any business that utilizes the law, rather than directing their ire at this particular piece of legislation which simply codifies a liberty that all private property owners should have – that of discriminating who can use their property and in what ways.
Yes, of Course Businesses Should Have the Right to Refuse Gay Customers
I *want* people to have the freedom to be bigots. I can shop around for my gay wedding cake, and I *certainly* want to know if the place where I am spending my money actually *wants* to serve me. Put a sign up that says “queers unwelcome” and I will gladly shop elsewhere. No man should be forced to make me a cake, nor would I want a cake from someone who doesn’t support my love. Letting bigots be bigots is a good way to know who the good guys are!
This is about a person’s right to operate their own business how they think is best. They will inevitably make choices that you disagree with, but I urge you to have the compassion to afford others the freedom to make mistakes. I think we can peacefully coexist with bigots without forcing them to do things our way. Let’s instead lead by example and keep the moral high ground by refraining from using force against our brothers and sisters.
Kristov Atlas Remove the violence. Trying to dictate further how the businesses are run is pissing into the wind for liberty.

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives approved a rise in the nation’s debt limit Tuesday, setting up passage of a bill in the Senate that would allow the nation to continue paying its bills this year.
The measure, which boosts the current debt ceiling of $17 trillion before the government would have been forced to default at the end of the month, passed 221 to 201, with 28 Republicans joining 193 Democrats in voting yes.

Ladies of CopBlock Calendar Debacle Documents made Public
Yesterday, I was approached by Alma Sommer via Facebook. She asked if she could use PeaceNewsNow.com as a platform to blog about a recent dispute within her community. I created her a username and password, and she wrote everything below, without any edits by me. My goal in allowing this to be published on my website is, as I told Alma, to solve this problem without the use of the state. Courtrooms used to be the place to bring all of your facts and info and stories and get it all out in one place. In the 21st century, a blog post can do this better. I hope that in the spirits of peace, truth, and cooperation, this issue can be resolved through investigation of the facts and peaceful dialogue. I never censor or delete comments. To show that I have no bias, I invite any of the Ladies of CopBlock, or anyone who seeks a peaceful resolution to a conflict, to blog about it here on PeaceNewsNow.com. – Derrick J Freeman
The Ladies of CopBlock calendar debacle has been kept secret from the public. It is now time to make public the information within.
Six Ladies withdrew from the calendar before publication for many different reasons. Mostly due to each individuals concerns being disregarded.
Most of the group was documented before it was closed off to some of the Ladies. The threads have been put together for your viewing pleasure.
Also here are a few statements as to why the Ladies opted out.
Kate Ager:
“I chose to disassociate myself from the Ladies of CopBlock calendar project due to a lack of respect regarding major concerns with the final project voiced by myself and other participants.”
Kristen Meghan:
“After the project was delayed, the original intent of the product was lost. When evidence of where funds were could not be produced when asked, adhominem attacks were the only reply we got. This is why I chose to withdraw my involvement; however I continue to support CopBlock and the new Women of CopBlock.”
Toni Bones:
“I regret to inform my friends and supporters than I can no longer consent to involvement in a project I was led to believe was for copblock due to profound differences in principles. I have witnessed very little transparency, accountability or any other values I’ve learned to appreciate through cb. While I can not promise a calendar, I can promise I will not stop until the truth of the funds is made available and our generous donors be made aware of such. I am currently comfortable claiming that I believe Lauryn has committed fraud and gathered these funds on behalf of my friends and I to promote herself.”
Alma Sommer:
“I chose to withdraw from the Ladies of CopBlock calendar due to philosophical differences. My goal is to promote spontaneous order and Agorist principles in all things. Concerns were met with a blatant disregard, instead of transparency, therefore loosing my support of this project. I strongly urge the donors to ask for their money back”
Josie Wales: (Josie the Outlaw)
“My choice to disassociate from this project is due to lack of organization and major concerns voiced by many of those involved left unaddressed. However, I remain a strong supporter of CopBlock and new Women of CopBlock”
Meg McLain
“After months of delays on the Ladies of CopBlock calendar, we were told the final product would be “amazing”. I think we all assumed a calendar was not that hard to make look good, and after such extreme delays, I was expecting something great. What we were shown as the ‘final product’ was not only hideous, it was filled with spelling and grammatical errors (my name wasn’t even spelled right). All the girls voiced their concerns, including the fact that the calendar was now so late that a couple of the months were no longer of use. Rather than address the concerns, our comments were met with anger and resentment. We were told it couldn’t change, cause the printers had already been paid a nonrefundable deposit. When I asked about this policy, the story changed to “no deposit, but the printer was prepaid, and we couldn’t get the money back”. Again, I asked about this policy, and the story changed again to “the money is in the bank account of Lauryn’s mother.” Because the story of where the money was kept changing, myself and others thought it would be best to get financial records and/or move the donated funds to a neutral 3rd party. Once again our requests were met with anger and verbal attacks. The general behavior came off as dishonest and angry; and the concerns of the girls regarding changes needed to the calendar were being disregarded and treated with utter contempt. For these reasons, I was no longer comfortable being a part of this project, as it was no longer clear where the money was or what the message of the project was. I hope the money is returned in full to the donors; however, I still have concerns that the money may be partially missing. I would hope that the donors could contact me if they are not refunded in full.”
