Suspected Fed/Free State Project Agent Provocateur Jeremy Kauffman Charged After Alleged Racist Incident

Kauffman drags libertarianism through the mud again…

Etienne Note: As part of our support of the Free State Project, we have been covering Jeremy Kauffman’s divisive tactics, most recently in our article: What is the Deal with the Free State PARTY in New Hampshire? Kauffman is now back in the news dragging libertarianism in NH through the mud…

By DAMIEN FISHER, InDepthNH.org

As prominent New Hampshire Libertarian Jeremy Kauffman mounts an effort to dissolve the national Libertarian Party, he’s also dealing with a legal drama for his alleged racist behavior in a grocery store parking lot.

Kauffman, 41, is scheduled for trial in July on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration stemming from an April 4 incident in which he allegedly tried to fight several people while hurling racist insults, according to Manchester Police reports.

Police were called to the Elm Street Market Basket parking lot around 2 p.m. on April 4 to deal with reports that a man hit another car in the parking lot with his car, fought with several people, and then went inside the store and continued yelling. One witness told police the suspect, later identified as Kauffman, immediately started making racist statements after the fender bender, and tried to fight people. When a bystander, who is Black and from Jamaica, walked by the incident, Kauffman reportedly directed his ire toward that man.


What the Fuck is Going On? - Expanded

An overview of all that matters - Everything else is theater.

by A Lily Bit

There is a certain kind of British conversation that takes place in a quiet room with two cups of tea going cold on the table, the kind where one man tells another that the country he was born in has been gutted from the inside, that the elections he votes in are theatre, that the pension he has been paying into is collateral for a debt nobody intends to repay, and the other man, who already half-believed it, sits there and feels the last of his civic optimism leave the room like steam off the tea. That conversation has been happening more often lately. It is happening in pubs in Bedford, in coffee shops in Manchester, in the spare bedrooms of men in their fifties who have stopped sleeping properly and have begun reading books their fathers would have called crank literature, and it is happening because the official explanations no longer fit the visible facts.

The visible facts are these. The British state cannot build a hospital on time or on budget. It cannot guard its own borders. It cannot keep the lights on without buying gas from people who hate it. It cannot prosecute the obvious crimes committed in the open against children in its northern towns. It cannot house its own citizens, who now hand over more than half their take-home pay for a flat they will never own, and it cannot stop importing several hundred thousand new claimants on those flats every year.

Yet at the same time the FTSE prints record highs, the people running these failures retire to estates and consultancies, and the national broadcaster spends its breath worrying about pronouns. Two stories cannot both be true. Either the people in charge are the most consistently incompetent ruling class in modern European history, or the failure is the point. Once you accept the second possibility, a great many things start to make sense at once, and the quality of your sleep suffers accordingly.

What follows is the case for the second possibility. It is a case made by people who have spent twenty-five years inside the engine room and emerged convinced that the engine was built to do exactly what it is doing. It is not a comfortable case. The popular framing, encouraged by whichever feed your algorithm has been training, would have it that the villains are the Jews, or the Muslims, or the lizards, or whichever team your particular grievance has been schooled to hate. The case here is something different. It is a case about money, and about the small number of institutions that get to create it from nothing, and about what those institutions do with three centuries of compounding advantage.


BREAKING: Landmark Peer-Reviewed Study Finds Vaccination Is a Major Risk Factor for Autism

Our 50-page analysis of more than 300 studies provides one of the most comprehensive syntheses to date on the possible causes of autism.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

For decades, scientists have debated what drives the relentless rise in autism. Some have claimed it’s simply due to “increased screening” while others insist vaccines play no role whatsoever. Thousands of studies have explored genetic, environmental, and perinatal factors—but very few have ever evaluated vaccine and non-vaccine determinants together within a unified analytical framework.

Now, our peer-reviewed study titled Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder, officially published in the Journal of Independent Medicine, provides one of the most comprehensive syntheses on the possible causes of autism to date.

Most importantly, by systematically evaluating all known autism risk factors side by side, we found that combination and early-timed routine childhood vaccination represents a significant modifiable risk factor for autism within a broader multifactorial framework. We found 79% of studies evaluating vaccines or their components (107 of 136) reported evidence consistent with a vaccine–autism link. The evidence converged across epidemiologic, clinical, mechanistic, toxicologic, and neuropathologic domains.


Tokenization: A Seventh Grade Explanation

Imagine yourself owning a house. It’s yours. You have the deed. You can live in it, paint the walls, rent it out, sell it to anyone you choose, or give it away.

by Patrick Wood

Imagine yourself owning a house. It’s yours. You have the deed. You can live in it, paint the walls, rent it out, sell it to anyone you choose, or give it away. Nobody can change the terms of your ownership after you buy it. The deed is recorded at the county courthouse, and no company or platform operator can alter it without your consent and a judge’s order. That is ownership.

Now imagine someone tells you there’s a better way. Instead of holding that deed, your house will be converted into a digital token on a computer network. They call this “tokenization.” The token represents your house — or more precisely, it represents a fraction of your house, because the whole point is to divide the property into thousands or even millions of tiny digital pieces that anyone in the world can buy. You might own the equivalent of one ten-thousandth of a building.

They tell you this is exciting because it “democratizes” real estate — now everybody can be an “owner.”

But that is a lie. It switches definitions in mid-sentence. Owning a “token” is not the same thing as owning a house.

While families are choosing between groceries and rent, while Americans are working two and three jobs just to survive, THIS family is running what appears to be a textbook grift.

In June 2025, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump launched Trump Mobile. The flagship product was a gold Android smartphone called the T1, priced at $499. Buyers were asked to pay a $100 deposit to reserve one.

590,000 people paid that deposit.
That’s $59 million collected.
They promised delivery by late summer 2025.
Then November.
Then December.
Then Q1 2026.
Now? The release date has been quietly DELETED from the website entirely.

The phone was marketed as “proudly American” and “Made in the USA” with an etched American flag. That branding was quietly removed from the website within days of launch.
