From Free Talk Live
Windquake has been listening (via podcast) since the spring of 2005 off and on, but became an everyday listener in September 2005, and has not missed an episode since.
Windquake is 36 years old and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is currently employed as a Technical Support Supervisor.
He would love to move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project and become an activist (what is the point in Indiana?), but his wife and family would kill him first. :)
Appearances
Windquake has made six "appearances" on Free Talk Live.
His 1st, on September 26th, 2005, was when Ian read his letter about the War on Drugs, and how a simple trip to the store for some cough medicine was the straw that broke the camel's back.
His 2nd, on December 2nd, 2005, was a call where he described his path to liberty. Which ended with the events described in the letter.
His 3rd, on December 12th, 2005, was a call about the "fair" tax discussion that Ian and Mark (Manwich at that time) had a few days earlier. The "fair" tax discussion they had was brilliant, find the archive.
His 4th, on February 2nd, 2006, was a call about the war on drugs and asked the question, "What happens when it is 50?" This was a reference to that even though 11 of the 50 states have legalized pot, but the Feds were still arresting people.
His 5th, on February 16th, 2006, was a call about the Fifth Amendment and eminent domain. He asked, "Has property ever been defined?" Since the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution means "Public Good" and not "Public Use", as it is written, could they take your truck and give it to some construction company, because they could make better use of it than you (getting more business, and therefore, paying more taxes)?
His 6th, on October 24th, 2007, was to wish Ian, Mark, and Wayne a happy UN Day. He listed out the great contributions of the UN (which resulted in about 3 seconds of silence).
Friends of Windquake

What the Hell is a Windquake anyway?
A Windquake is a mythical weather phenomenon in which the wind suddenly and unpredictably shifts several feet in one direction in one almost solid-like mass. This causes all property, vehicles, people, trees, and whatever else is in contact, to be thrown, causing massive destruction. Windquakes effect thousands of miles. The Windquake phenomenon was created for a Role-Playing Game, since Windquake is a huge RPG geek, he and a friend created their own called WindZone.
