THE GRANITE EAGLE

“Non-violence,” to most, means the purposed avoidance of aggression – both immediately and as a direct result of the task at hand. The “No Kings” protest I attended yesterday, October 2025, claimed this term for itself, posing as a peaceful stand against executive overreach.

Last week, the Granite Eagle broke a major story about the State of New Hampshire being actively involved in recruiting and facilitating the purchase of a 338,000 square foot facility in Nashua, NH by Nongfu Spring, a Chinese food and beverage company. Prior to the details being exposed about how involved New Hampshire officials were, the only thing the public knew was that a Chinese company had purchased a massive facility in Nashua, NH. That was it.

Chris Thomson’s Op-Ed "YDC Lawsuits: The most disturbing case of fraud ever seen in NH” was a welcome fresh take on the YDC cases. I noticed David Vicinanzo’s comment under it. He is one of the lead attorneys suing the State. He doth protest too much. He was a federal prosecutor in Concord in the 1990s when the majority of the abuse at YDC allegedly took place.
