Secession Speakeasy 175 (Public House Edition): Will the Globalists ignite Civil War or Martial Law in America?

Tempers flare in the first Secession Speakeasy episode of 2026 where the Professor, the Minstrel, and the Jester discuss the shocking situation which the peoples of America now find themselves in. On the domestic front, America seems to be being primed for a scenario where the American Bill of Rights will be completely thrown out so the Globalist Elites on the Totalitarian Left and the Authoritarian Right can attempt to have their power-hungry ambitions fulfilled. What should the ordinary people of America do to push back and preserve their rights in the face of this unprecedented challenge?

Secession Speakeasy 174 (Public House Edition): A Surprising Secession Success Story!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel close out 2025 on Secession Speakeasy with a great historical secession success story from the Minnesota Arrowhead. In 1977, the residents of a small town in the Iron Range made a stunning show of defiance against a political class which was ignoring a very dire situation which the residents found themselves in. The town’s defiance swept the imagination of America and likely began opening the door for Secession and Self-Governance to become serious topics of discussion heading into the 21st Century.

Secession Speakeasy 172 (Public House Edition): The “State” violates Church sovereignty in Andorra!

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss the situation unfolding in the European micronation of Andorra where it seems as if globalist forces are trying to use the Catholic Church’s position in Andorra’s governing setup as a tool to try to compromise the sovereignty of the Catholic Church. Why are these Globalist forces so insistent that the Vatican allow the Bishop of Urgell, who serves as one of the two co-Princes of Andorra, to sign off on a law effectively decriminalising abortion in Andorra when the Bishop has the option of abstaining? Could the Globalists be using this scenario to pressure the Vatican to abandon it’s opposition to abortion?
