Hello y'all!
This is a new feature for our Locals community which we will be trying to do daily (schedule-permitting).

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments in Catalonia over the last several months where the Catalan Separatists, in particular Carles Puigdemont and his party, have wrenched extremely significant concessions out of Pedro Sanchez’s socialist government in Madrid. Are these concessions slowly but surely turning Catalonia into a de-facto independent country? What do these developments say about what is likely in both Spain and Catalonia’s near-future?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that reportedly representatives from the Faroe Islands are scheduled to begin negotiations with the nation of Denmark about the Faroes finally being given what they have long sought: Independence. What was particularly effective about the approach of the Faroes independence activists to getting their cause to the verge of success? What lessons can be derived from their campaign to this point which independence activists should take note of in their own efforts?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news out of the Canadian province of Manitoba where polls are finding separatism sentiment rising, which seems to be putting the elite storytellers in the Canadian establishment media in a panic. What does the article seem to be implying about the rise of the separatist mentality among the Manitoban people through the fear and alarm that is evident through the verbage of the article? What does this seem to say about the future of Canada if Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec all have successful independence referendums in the near-future?

This piece from the Acton Institute speaks very much to our views here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" on what the relationship should be between family and the workplace. Here we always says that "Family Comes First". That means occasionally we will have gaps in our publication schedule when we need to tend to matters which affect family. However we are still committed to spreading the word on the causes which are important to the everyday people so that EVERYONE will be able to put family first in the not-too-distant future and it is why we value your support so much! Be a rebel, raise a family and show & tell the family how much you love them! https://rlo.acton.org/archives/124383-your-job-is-not-your-family.html
Sharing here a GREAT conversation between two very learned gentlemen: Daniel Miller, the President of the Texas Nationalist Movement, and former North Dakota state legislator Rick Becker, the host of the podcast “War, Divorce or Federalism”. In this episode, these two discuss TEXIT, the practicalities surrounding separation from the Washington DC Empire, the fallacies surrounding anti-separation arguments stemming from ridiculous talking points like Texas v White, and so much more! Listen in and get a great influx of knowledge from two gentlemen who KNOW their stuff!
In a crossover episode with the new podcast“War, Divorce or Federalism” Professor Wall engages in a lively discussion with former North Dakota state legislator Rick Becker on America’s current situation and the choices facing the peoples who make up this vast country. Can federalism be re-asserted through a process like the Article V Convention so as to diffuse tensions and so prevent the onset of a possible civil war? Or have things deteriorated so badly that only national divorce can bring back peace?
