This week, Carla Gericke is joined by her friend and colleague Mark Warden of Porcupine Real Estate. They discuss NH’s hot housing market, the upcoming election, including their own races as NHGOP candidates in Manchester, and more! Catch this episode of Manch Talk now!
Get this… I posted a reel on FB and used a song from their library–Jesus Jones’ “Right Here Right Now”–on a post about a blockchain conference that took place in the Free State of New Hampshire this past weekend…
This morning, after I shared it to an FSP group last night, I notice the privacy setting had changed to “locked”–my posts are generally public–so I went to investigate…
My post now has a copyright ding from Warner Music on it… BUT, if you want to submit a dispute, the SUBMIT BUTTON DOESN’T WORK…
When you factor in I literally told my husband last week that this will be the next way corporatists censor speech (I used to do IP law in Silicon Valley, mind you), I don’t know what to think…
Is it a simple issue, like I have used that song on a reel before (I have)? If so, WHY DOESN’T THE DISPUTE BUTTON WORK?
Is it something more nefarious? When you consider how many times in how many ways I have been censored on social media, I’m pretty sure this is a newfangled lawfare approach to censor speech…. Note how looks like the song is OK almost everywhere, but not in the USA?
When Facebook started the practice of providing the music I thought, Huh, wouldn’t it be interesting if they use copyright infringement claims to take down dissident content in the future… I don’t know for sure that this is where we are, but something is mos def sus…
The Free State Blockchain Digital Asset Conference was amazing. More details to come!
I recently sat down with Marcus Ruiz Evans to discuss my historical work with the Free State Project, and my new initiative NHExit Now! I will also sell you a beautiful home in New Hampshire! Reach out: carla (at) porcupinerealestate (dot) com. Together, we can Live Free and Thrive! Watch below or on YouTube now.
Few things make me happier than seeing the heart of PorcFest and the libertarian movement–the community–we are building in New Hampshire well-captured. Great to see so many movers I know featured, and fantastic job by Dennis Pratt, David Friedman (nice chocolate chip cookies shout out!), and Matthew Barney, a recent mover who is working on Trumind.ai.
Carla Gericke, fresh from an appearance with Dr. Phil, just launched the NHExit movement. (Ep. 2529 of the Tom Woods Show)

Last night’s New Hampshire Liberty Alliance dinner, fondly called “Liberty Prom,” was a blast!
Congratulations to Legislator of the Year and soon to be NH Senator Emily Phillips and Activist of the Year, Jeremy Olson, who currently runs the Merrimack Valley Porcupines meeting, held on the first Saturday of the month at the Quill.
Huge shout out to Melissa and Jeffrey Creem for their continued and stalwart support and efforts with the NHLA!
To everyone who made last night a smashing success, THANK YOU. It is because of the relentless efforts of freedom fighters like you that NH will forever remain the Free State!
Live free or die, live free and thrive!

Greetings from Littleton, New Hampshire! In this episode, Carla talks with Calvin about why his North Country town, Littleton, NH (aka Glad Town and Little Switzerland), is a great place to live.

Squee! PorcFest is coming up! This, the Year of Our Porcupine 2024, is the first time since 2009 that I have not helped load the PorcFest truck.
I have mixed feelings about this. The “people pleaser” in me (that I’m slowly murdering) is panicking that I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. The “I’m growing into new and different things” part of me is sighing a deep sigh of relief.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who showed up. Thank you!
I am grateful the Free State Project has grown to where I don’t feel personally responsible for every single thing that happens (or doesn’t happen).
I am grateful to all the leaders who have stepped up over the years to make PorcFest the amazing success it has become. To each and every one of you who have come before, THANK YOU.
A special thank you to Constance Spencer, Olga Sorens and Chris Lopez for being the Dream Team this year to bring us such a laudable PorcFest XXI lineup, with liberty luminaries like Ron Paul (virtual), Naomi Wolf, Jeffrey Tucker, and a host of other incredible speakers and thinkers. I can’t wait to learn new things!
Please come visit me at the Team Porcupine Real Estate OWN Hub at RV-74, where we will be doing talks starting on Wednesday about NH real estate, investing, short term rentals, buying land, etc.
As my focus shifts from day-to-day FSP management (hallelujah, Eric Brakey!) I am eager to help new movers find their home. Check out Porcupine Real Estate’s LIBERTARIANS UNITE newspaper on the campground for fascinating articles, and our full weekly schedule. Free coffee onsite every morning!
This is going to be the best PorcFest… YET!
How do I know? That YET is important. That YET is doing a lot of work. That YET is the key to a growth mindset and is a very important key to excellent interpersonal relationships when dealing with voluntary teams.
Why?
Because that “yet” allows you to include everyone who has come before while anticipating the improvements and innovations that will be revealed this year. That “yet” honors all the people who have contributed to making TWENTY ONE YEARS of PorcFests happen.
So many egos.
So much drama.
But here’s the reality, guys… THIS IS JUST LIFE.
There is NO PERFECT MOMENT. There is NO UTOPIA. There is NO VALHALLA. There is no ONE DAY I’LL…
There is only NOW, and what YOU are doing in every moment.
Yes, PorcFest is a fun time to let your hair down, but it is also YOUR chance to practice mindful personal responsibility.
The flip-side of freedom is HOW ARE YOU SHOWING UP IRL?
Please be considerate of your fellow campers. Please respect the campgrounds 11PM silence (yes, you need to switch off your music). If you want to hang and chat, there is only one spot: down on the field at the bonfire.
Live free, but also, don’t be an asshole. 
Let’s get rocking for a weeklong celebration of our beautiful project. Let’s put our best feet forward to embrace and welcome potential Porcupines to our libertarian homeland. Let’s show up with beauty and love. Let’s shine like the beacon of liberty we are. It starts and ends, with YOU! 
This week we delve further into the Sununu YDC scandal. Who is the judge? What would the economic impact be to the State if every incident receives the mandated $475,000 maximum–there are 1,400 complainants, each with numerous incidents, you do the math!?!? We also discuss the latest dramas surrounding the upcoming LP Convention in DC at the end of the month, and more!
