In an interview on ITS radio (brodacast from Charlottesville, Va), Johnathan Irish expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped bring his daughter home, and out of the custody of Department of Children, Youth, and their Families (DCYF). Stephanie Janrvin and Johnathon Irish live in Northwood, NH. After their child was born in early October 2010, the child was snatched by DCYF, reportedly over Irish's affiliation with Oath Keppers. DCYF claimed it to be a "militia". Oath Keepers is a group of active duty police and military who have sworn to uphold their oath to protect the American people from enemies,...

Our man Dave Ridley in New Hampshire updates the Oathkeeper Infant Kidjacking with all the latest details. Will a Civil Suit be filed against the rogue CPS Bureaucrat who submitted a false affadavit to the Court?

I think in this political climate one of the best things GOPers and libertarians can do is join together and support the Free State Project in NH. No, I'm not talking about the potheads in Keene who are unrepresentative of the FSP anyway. I'm talking about the real goals set forth by the founders of the movement who seek to ensure absolute personal liberty and end government tyranny. Yes NH has been pretty liberal lately but it is a small state and still on the fringe between liberal and conservative. There is no reason why it can't be taken back...

Oath Keepers prep lawsuit against NH bureaucrats. Child protective bureaucracies named affiliation with their rather innocuous organization as one reason for seizing a baby. Sponsor: http://FreeKeene.com

protest in Dover NH over the illegitimate use of Oath Keepers name on an affidavit concerning custody rights with John Irish

As you know the baby of John Irish and his fiancee Stephanie was taken 16 hours after her birth. She was taken in part because of association with Oath keepers (as is clear from the Court order, which adopted the CPS agent’s entire affidavit as the Court’s “findings of fact” and reasons for the order. Another “reason” given by CPS, and adopted by the Court in its “findings of fact”, was gun ownership. The time is now to stand up and protect the rights of all all parents to freedom of association and freedom to keep and bear arms. A...

Did state accuse wrong guy in Oath Keeper case? (Baby Cheyenne NH). Gag order prevents the witnesses of a court hearing from revealing what happened in there... but did the prompt return of Baby Cheyenne to her parents have something to do with mistaken identity on some issues?

Police State USABaby snatched for dad's politics back with parents reunited! Newborn returned to family where father accused of being 'Oath Keeper' A tiny baby girl snatched from her parents' custody a week ago when her father was accused of being an "Oath Keeper" was returned to her parents today. According to WND sources close to the case, the accusations against the father, Johnathon Irish, whose fiancée, Stephanie Taylor, is the mother of Cheyenne, have been dropped. WND originally reported on the case last weekend when the state took the baby, ordering the father to stand with his hands behind...

There is troubling news on this story. Johnathan and Stephanie went to visit their child today. Details are a bit sketchy at this point, but Cheyenne is reportedly losing consciousness, bleeding out of her private parts, and has not gained weight. Update from the Free Baby Cheyenne Facebook Group: “Pirra Milan EMERGENCY PROTEST AT CONCORD HOSPITAL AND DCYF’S OFFICES!!! JOHNATHAN AND STEPHANIE WERE AT A VISIT. BABY CHEYENNE WOULDN’T WAKE UP!

Liberty activist supports government's decision to take his grandchild from his son on grounds that he considers this option safer for the baby. Also I just received an e-mail from Kevin Noyes who is acting as a PR aide to Baby Cheyenne's parents. He says they have just seen her on visitation and that they are expressing specific concerns regarding her physical condition. I have an e-mail in DCYF, the child protective division to try and get a response. The number listed on their website is now listed as disconnected. Concord Family Division, a court branch, has professionally returned my...

This is hardly the first time law enforcement officials and social workers have cited "political extremism" to justify severe and extra-constitutional sanctions against people who have not been convicted of an actual crime. Just a few months ago, police in Salem County, Massachusetts arrested an innocent man named Gregory Girard on palpably fraudulent criminal charges because his wife -- acting as a dutiful collectivist drone -- reported that he had developed "extremist" political views. Those unsanctioned opinions, coupled with legal firearms purchases, led to Girard's arrest and detention as a "danger to the community" -- but he was never formally...

Quotes from the controversial document reportedly put out by the government Oct. 7: "The division became aware and confirmed that Mr. Irish associated with a militia known as the "Oath Keepers" and had purchased several different weapons..." "Without the intervention of the court the infant will be at risk of harm. The child is neglected...."

There's a court date coming up Oct. 14 and a state house petition for redress meeting on Oct 19...post the details if you got 'em.

Several developments have occurred in recent days that indicate something as innocuous as visiting pro-gun rights websites that are critical of government Constitutional compliance, and especially participating in comments and forums, can results in heightened law enforcement scrutiny and even as a supporting criteria for "legal" intervention.On Friday, I told WarOnGuns readers I was aware of a child welfare case in New Hampshire where one of the criterion for removing a child from its parents was an ostensible membership of the father in what protective services was characterizing as "a militia known as the Oath Keepers." Long-time readers know we've...

A fascinating culture-war blog entry plus comments at Wonkette, well worth reading for people confused as hell as why Sarah Palin is able to succeed selling a sense of "they hate us but really we are more than OK" to lots of Americans. The setup: a couple in New Hampshire had their baby stolen from them by government agents--which I think most normal humans recognize as one of the most wrenching, horrific, violative of one's integrity and liberty things that a state, or anyone, could possibly do--whatever the reason for it might be. The affidavit about the snatch lists ongoing...

An emergency peaceful protest at Concord Hospital was held Friday due to the state of New Hampshire forcibly removing, with the aid of the hospital, 15-hour old newborn, Cheyenne Irish, from her parents. The baby's father, John Irish, alleges all the charges for the removal are trumped and he does not know why according to his statement at the protest. (See Oppression by Oath Youtube video below, posted by Adventures In the Free State) Adventures in the Free State writes: "A day-old infant was abducted by NH DCYF on 10/7/2010, from and allegedly with the complicity of Concord Hospital, apparently...

Stewart has just now as of 7:45PM PST, spoken to the father and he is faxing documents to Stewart. We are establishing a legal defense fund. Once it is confirmed through documentation that the father’s association with Oath Keepers was listed as a reason, even if among several reasons listed, for taking the child, we will actively pursue aggressive legal remedy and redress. We will assist in locating competent local legal counsel in New Hampshire and additional expert legal counsel from around the country in First Amendment and child custody law. Stewart, who has worked on several First Amendment cases...
