Secession Speakeasy 156 (Public House Edition): Separatism Sentiment Rising in Manitoba?

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?

Secession Speakeasy 155 (Public House Edition): A New Approach for Greater Idaho?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the different approaches now being discussed by the Greater Idaho movement in their quest to bring about separation from Oregon and unification with Idaho. What are the pros and cons of the three initial ideas proposed? Are there other options available which would be a longer campaign but would bring about success for the Greater Idaho and be a positive long-term trend in both the area and the country as a whole? How does this effort to re-direct Greater Idaho’s approach prove that long-term the movement will succeed in it’s goals?

Secession Speakeasy 154 (Public House Edition): UK claims “Persian Bots” driving Scottish Independence Surge!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news out of the British Isles where the City of London and the British Deep State are putting forward a narrative that social media bots, which they claim originate from Iran, are behind the recent surge in popularity for Scottish Independence. Why does this narrative have no real evidence backing it up? Is this being used to justify a future crackdown by the British Deep State to destroy the Scottish Independence effort? Are they also trying to lay the groundwork justifying British intervention in the war being waged against Iran? What should Scottish Independence backers be doing to combat this narrative going into the 2026 Scottish elections?

From Steal to Secession AM - Ep. 51: America’s Options: National Divorce or Civil War?

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?
