Fresh back from the NHGOP Unity Breakfast, Carla shares some insights on the primary races and vows to do this if elected… Watch to find out!
I am growing! Even though I don’t have any real measurable skills as an artist, I have a burning desire to share what is in my head with people. While forest bathing the other day–fancy for ‘walking in the woods’–it occurred to me that at its very core, all being an artist is, is simply having the confidence to let your unique freak flag fly and share whatever YOU create with the world.
Simply. Yet we know, things worth achieving are hardly ever simple.
Making art is creative (selfish). Sharing art is confidence (selfless).
Somewhere in my journey to adulthood, I was told I was the “smart one,” and so, in law school, I started to suppress my artsy side, with occasional relapses into beehives, hot pants and fishnets, and drugs, lots and lots of booze and drugs, on the weekends.
Even though I’m grateful I developed my logical, rational, legal-minded side, I do regret not continuing to do personally fulfilling “fun stuff” like singing, dancing, and painting, at least as hobbies. You don’t have to be great at something to take pleasure from doing it… and who knows, with enough practice, you might even become good!
I was doing an interview with NBC Boston recently. In response to a “what’s next” type question, I said I’d like to “retire and become an artist,” mostly in jest (I will never really retire), but the interviewer glommed onto it, asking, “What kind of artist would you like to be?”
The question stumped me for a second–Wait! Isn’t being a writer being an artist? Remember how it took you more than a decade to call yourself ‘an author’ without having a full-on impostor-panic-attack!?!–then I said something like, “Well, I’m an author, and I dabble in painting (e.g. I painted the dogs you saw in my office), I take a lot of nature and food photographs, I cook, and, who knows, maybe in the future, I will have my own One Woman Show!”
(I will and it shall be called, “Disturbia.” :P)
But as I was answering, I was aware of that voice in my head, you know the one, Cunty McCunt, telling me how pretentious I sounded, and how dare I lay claim to such idyllic dreams! Who do you think you are, she started, but when I heard that second-person voice, that “you” voice, the one you have to teach yourself to hear so that you can snap her back in place–which is NOWHERE NEAR YOUR DREAMS–I re-framed my negative thoughts to this: I am who I am and I will do the things that feed my spirit and make me happy.
I am who I am and I will do the things that feed my spirit and make me happy. Like a well-rounded, authentic, balanced human-being. One who has, through hard lifestyle choices, including changing to a keto diet and quitting alcohol, developed the confidence to show you her crazy… as ‘An Artist’… one Post-It at a time!
This episode of Rock, Paper, Hand Grenades was recorded a year ago, and disappeared off Youtube. Catch it now to see why! (And it’s not because I can’t say “amygdala” right!)
This episode got banned off YT, and not just because I don’t know how to say “amygdala” properly

If you follow my work, you know I am a big fan of open and transparent government (I serve on the board of Right-to-Know NH, a nonpartisan group of concerned NH citizens), because if we don’t know what the government is up to, we cannot keep them accountable.
Transparency in government is vital to a functioning society, because you cannot both purport to work for us, the people, and keep secrets from us “for our own good.”
This is how abusers operate.
Over the past 2 decades, primarily after 9/11 when America really lost its way, the media, with every “unnamed source” and “intelligence sources say,” that started cropping up, became derelict. We no longer have a functioning 4th Estate.
No one in government is held responsible for anything anymore… starting with the WMD lies and ending with whatever this Covidmania shit-show is.
You may recall the Laurie’s List printed by the Union Leader in March 2021 for Sunshine Week showed several columns of blacked-out information about bad deeds done by unnamed cops. At the time, I thought if ordinary Granite Staters could SEE how even our local AG’s office obscures and hides the truth, you might wake up.
I am sharing this FOIA response from the Pentagon for the same reason. A serviceman who refused to get a medical treatment against his will was told:
“We found no indication of misconduct by [Air Force] Secretary [Frank] Kendall,” the document reads, before redacting the entirety of the explanation.”
This is your government. Do YOU approve?
Read more from the Ron Paul Institute about the legal bind the military finds itself in on this issue. (They may, by law, only mandate approved vaccines, but not emergency approved ones, and now everyone is scrambling.)
Kidding, not kidding! Did you know years ago, I was arrested, handcuffed to a pole for hours, physically threatened behind the Weare PD station by three burly cops, charged with felony wiretapping carrying a 7-year sentence, all for filming cops during a late night traffic stop? I fought them all the way to the First Circuit and prevailed in a landmark First Amendment suit that equally and positively affects the rights of ALL thirteen MILLION people of the First Circuit. Police also no longer have the claim of qualified immunity in filming cops cases, meaning they can be held personally liable as well because it is super egregious to take your camera or footage. You can read the decision, Carla Gericke vs. Begin et al, HERE.
Ready for my photo shoot with the Boston Globe. In the past few weeks, I’ve spoken to the Globe, the New Yorker, the New York Sun, and local media on topics ranging from Croydon, Gunstock, the Democrats, mean tweets, secession, woke churches, and more!
The media are out for blood against Free Staters… Individuals who just want to reduce the size and scope of government… how awful! So awful that people are calling me to say they wish my mother had aborted me. Real classy stuff.
Really makes you wonder what the people critiquing us stand for… Here’s a hint: war, slavery, subjugation, and control.
Don’t let the bad guys con you into thinking that’s good!
Trust your instincts and know this: Free Staters come in peace. We’re the vanguard to remind you liberty is worth preserving so that together, we can Live Free and Thrive!
“Slavery cannot tolerate free speech” because today’s slaves are TOLD what to think through 24/7 propaganda and then obediently parrot it back.
Knowing what YOU think based on YOUR KNOWLEDGE is freedom.
When you don’t know your own mind you are susceptible to… other people’s suggestions… dare I say “mind control”?
It’s not as obvious as the cartoons portrayed with a helmet on your head, but it IS the Squawk Box and the news cycle and its often repeated, looped, “mind control” phrases…
Consider one term you now frequently see lobbed verbatim and without any supporting evidence from the Left across media channels: “It’s a racist dog-whistle…”
I bring it up because this phrase was used in a recent Union Leader article in an overt attempt to make up news…
A website that promotes the Free State Project has begun identifying “woke” churches in New Hampshire, a move that has alarmed the multi-denominational National Council of Churches. https://t.co/jkShsvvsmP

The Free State Project’s official Twitter account tweeted out a list made by a participant about NH Churches. You can view the list HERE. As you can see with your own eyes, it’s a comprehensive list of Christian Churches, and, when you click on the individual churches listed, one column denotes whether the church is “woke/based”. The FSP didn’t make the list, a Christian participant of the project did. The goal of tweeting it out was to provide information for potential movers. Some want to attend a woke church, some don’t. As it is in a free society. No malice was intended, but when the news media picks up on a non-story, turns it into an international news story–for real, I got a Google Alert from a news outlet in India–and includes the “racist dog whistle” line, you know a propaganda game is afoot.
Let’s parse this out… The quoter is: 1. Calling their opponent a dog(?); 2. Claiming to be a mind reader who “knows” the quotee can hear something no one else can hear (i.e. imaginary); 3. this “thing” they “hear” is “racism.” No proof, no evidence, just an often repeated lie, which we are seeing with more and more frequency.
Using a blanket statement like “racist dog whistle” in the media to ascribe negative characteristics to a group you don’t like by stating, “*I* know what they secretly think” isn’t journalism, it’s woke jingoism, it’s propaganda, and it’s defamatory. Media, do better please.
One last thought… If you hear “racist dog whistles” everywhere, maybe, just maybe YOU’RE THE RACIST? After all, the Democrats were the Party of Slavery, as Frederick Douglass knew: Listen to “THE SLAVERY PARTY.” EXTRACT FROM A SPEECH DELIVERED BEFORE THE A.A.S SOCIETY IN NEW YORK, MAY, 1853.

A short story in pictures. My deepest sympathy to anyone who regrets their decision.
[EDUCATIONAL FAIR USE IMAGE REMOVED ON 03/09/2026.]
The #1 thing you can do going forward is switch off the MSM and stop trusting government.
Then #2, start focusing solely on your own health. Realize YOUR CHOICES MATTER. Inflammation can be reversed by a better diet, by avoiding processed foods and sugars. Fuel your body with whole foods and good high fats, and, if you stick to it, you will see and feel the difference within a month. Make sure to focus on the amount of sunlight and sleep you get, too. Literally, if all you can do is walk around the block once, walk around the block once!
Whatever you do, always be mindful about your lifestyle ***choices***. We only get this gift once!

Embedded OP from Facebook:
We are entering a new phase on this road to totalitarianism. A massive red flag is when people who deserve untold amounts of JUSTIFIED CRITICISM for illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral behavior, start saying you’re not allowed to criticize them.
Add to this trend, the lopsided censorship being instituted by Big Tech obo Big Gov working in cahoots with Big Pharma, and you have a recipe for disaster for liberty, freedom, and global human rights. Your duty now is to SPEAK UP DOUBLY HARD.
Yesterday, Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum globalist who wears a cape with massive shoulder pads and is only missing a hairless cat to stroke, called for AI to start censoring online “misinformation.” What could possibly go wrong?
NEW – Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum proposes to automate censorship of “hate speech” and “disinformation” with AI fed by “subject matter experts.”https://t.co/A4JDrh7RaK pic.twitter.com/LYqFhik3Wk

Then Twitter got in on the action.
This means we’ll take action against misleading claims about the voting process, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, or misleading claims that may undermine public confidence in elections outcomes.

They want to stop this type of propaganda from being too obvious (search on Youtube, there are many examples of this rote repetition of talking points the Regime wants you to support):
The reason they crave censorship is the narrative is hard to control otherwise & the manipulation is blatantly obvi… https://t.co/Mad02oIrHl

It’s genuinely interesting to me to try to figure out what posts/topics are being shadow-banned/censored on what platforms.
I can tell you, tagging the FBI in snotty Tweets like below, will level you up on the “no one can see you” scale. How can I tell? For certain posts, a double screen opens on my end for a moment, and then usually the post doesn’t get a single additional reaction after that.
Dear @FBI

Violent rhetoric > Actual violence.

The children of Waco
In other news, this Tweet is gold, and I’m both spelling it out below and embedding it, because it definitely was immediately shadow-banned, only getting one reaction and then nada. Weird what they find threatening. Words, definitions, which form the basis of arguments to persuade people. Without the ability to agree on what words mean, they know, the battle is much harder for the good guys. (How do I know I’m a good guy, you ask? Because in the history of the world the bad guys have always been the ones censoring, name-calling, controlling and lying. And I’m not doing any of that. I am telling the truth and trying to warn you before it is too late.)
