Earlier today Infowars reported that a man photographed by MSNBC with a sidearm and pro-liberty sign at an Obama event in New Hampshire may be a federal agent planted to discredit the patriot movement.
In a capture of the video an earpiece of the sort commonly worn by the Secret Service and federal agents can be seen. The man in question also has a placard with the web address of Restore the Republic, an organization founded by the late Aaron Russo in 2007.
Infowars contacted Gary Franchi, managing editor of Republic Magazine, a periodical associated with Restore the Republic. Franchi confirmed that the individual in the video is associated with Chris Lawless and the Free State Project. The placard is recycled from the April 15 Tea Party.Chris Lawless acted as an organizer for the Free State Project’s annual Liberty Forum in 2008.
“The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property,” the Free State Project website explains.
Lawless explains on Franchi’s Facebook page that the earpiece is in fact hardware for a patriot radio network. “I know the guy,” Lawless writes. “There were 4 others also wearing earpieces. They do that to call each other in case of a problem. We also have something called PORC 411 here in NH.”
PORC 411 is short for Porcupine 411, a rapid message distribution network. Porcupine 411 is used to report the locations of speed traps and sobriety checkpoints, reporting unusual or improper police activity, distress calls related to roadside detention or imminent arrest, and upcoming social events, activities “or almost anything else of immediate interest to liberty lovers,” according to the PORC 411 website.

Alex Jones should bring him onto the show! I think he’s awsome now. You can buy those ear pieces in a shop, it’s not just issued by the government. MSNBC is full of fear and s---. If more people with permits took guns to these town hall meetings it would keep the bastards honest and it will deter any SEIU or ACORN thugs from causing trouble there. Obama is bringing in goons to rough up the opposition and this sort of behaviour of intimidating the opposition is unacceptable in a democracy. It may happen in Zimbabwe or some other IMF s---hole but not America!!!!!!!

Hmmm considering his face was shown on the air and the things that were said i would think a law suit for defamation would be forth coming (Oops MSNBC).

UPDATE:
This guy was probably a very good fellow patriot that is doing more for the movement than anyone else including myself!

Sorry, but bringing a gun to these events is one of the best ways to discredit the entire anti-establishment movement going on across the U.S. The guy with a gun is a dumb ass.

Although he has a right to carry a firearm anywhere he chooses you are completely right. Bringing a gun to an event where the President is near is asking for the wrong kind of press and sending the wrong message. Even though the last few President’s have been complete tools for the Elite they deserve protection and I don’t wish them to be murdered.

No, he is stading up for his constituional rights and is letting the world know it. Everyone in states that have open carry laws should be wearing a sidearm to show they are exercising their 2nd Amendment right. I’m going to start wearing mine tomorrow!

Sorry flub, but that kind of reasoning is exactly why so many of out inherent RIGHTS have been subverted.
Frankly, is just shows the press for the kind that they are. The press will spout 1st amendment all day long, then poo-poo the 2nd. All or none! You cannot be selective about what part of the Bill of Rights is ok and what part is not.

You know, there FLUB, (how appropriate), cowards like you are the reason why our 2nd Amendment rights are up for grabs in the first place. Acquiescence of your rights should be right near the top of your list, immediately following your sex change operation. Free carry states have less violent crime across the board, because you don’t rob someone who may carry a bigger gun than you do.
And I certainly hope a defamation of character lawsuit is headed MSNBC’s direction. Maybe the guy can contribute to Flub’s new mangina.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
I love the Free State Project! Well-organized guys who look after each other! I hoped to see that but I never saw it until now. What a relief and what a boost in hope! Government will fear the huge number of patriots rallying from everywhere. We’ll gauge the weight of “A well-regulated militia”, now.

If it was not for this story I would not have known about the Free State Project either. This guy is a real patriot and everyone in free carry states should follow suit. This is the best way to “speak” truth to power by showing up and demonstrating your Constitutional rights directly and without hesitation. Onward patriots!

I was thinking the same things as you two. I wonder if there’s anyway to branch the Free State Project into other states. I think they could get at least 20,000 in almost every state.

Applaud the patriot. It’s possible to lawfully carry a handgun and not shoot up your gym, or random citizens that you disagree with. An armed public is a polite public.

We ourselves shold also be raising the standard of our stripes wherever we live by following the example of the NH compatriots. We should let everybody in the world know that we are the land of the brave and the free and that we fight for our God, our religion, our freedom, our peace, our wives and our children.

I saw the interview on MSNBC with Chris Matthews. I couldn’t believe Matthews kept trying to play the interview so that the protester was made into the bad guy. MSNBC is illegitimate at journalism. But we already knew that…
P.S. Alex, thanks for having me on the phone today!

Info Wars staff needs to reign Alex in a little! He jumped the “gun” (excuse the pun) on this guy BIGTIME! He should appologize for his paranoia! Don’t get me wrong, I love Alex and what he does. We just can’t be SUSPICIOUS of EVERYONE, the militia needs to know how to recognize each other and jumping to conclusions just because someone looks out of place is not only irresponsible but downright dangerous and unproductive! SETTLE DOWN ALEX…Just a bit, find out the facts FIRST, then comment.

Every state or area should have a patriot message system like those New Hapsta folks have with their “PORC411″ system to alert patriots of any problem with the local piggies gettin tyrannical.
Funny, they call it…. “PORC” nyuk nyuk

Because of this man, I am now going out and buying a blackhawk tactical sidestrap duty holster. It is a fine system for open carry and ought to be alot of the cops and military use the same holster with their LBV. I plan on packin one everywhere I can (there are some places in Anchorage that won’t allow you to have a weapon on their property) as soon as that holster gets into the gunstore I ordered it from. Bravo to this man for making probably the most succinct and powerful pro 2nd ammendment statement this year.

Oh- and the system costs $89.99 if anyone wants to join me in this endeavor. Open to Alaska residents only (unless you live somewhere else in America- then carry in your state too).

Learn to make holsters yourself. It’s easy; start with the toughest but thinnest leather you can find, and pre-drill it with a 1mm bit to ease the way for the needle, that you’ll stuff with 000 nylon. You’ll have a custom holster perfectly fitted to you, and you’ll wait for it only one or two days. It’ll cost you about 7 or 8 bucks for the raw material. Strange, but among the zillions of how-to videos in YouTube, none explains how to do it. And old issue of Guns&Ammo in the 90’s explained it very well, but I don’t remember which it is. Start making sheaths for knives or magazines to start simple. Wet the leather and press it with a smooth rounded object to mold it around the object it will carry. I even made sheaths for cigarette lighters; a Zippo looks quite dressed up in shiny hide!

Damn, when will you idiots start using your brains?
August 13th, 2009 at 5:33 am
It amazes me that, in a state where it’s lawful to carry a loaded, unconcealed weapon, a story like this is even going to capture any more than a 10-second schpeel on the local yokel networks, much less global news networks.
And as far as sending messages, maybe the politicians SHOULD be afraid of any American who exercises their rights as the Constitution permits. Maybe it’s an even greater shame that this isn’t commonplace in areas like that. Knowing that individuals are walking around prepared to defend themselves might make the ACORN goons think twice before putting their hands on us.
