Secession Speakeasy 182 (Public House Edition): New Mexico Counties restarting efforts to join Texas?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that New Mexico legislators are yet again attempting to get a process begun whereby eastern New Mexico counties may switch back to join Texas as they had been formerly before 1850. With the popular support for this idea clearly established by the constant lobbying for it within the New Mexico legislature, what other steps must be taken to ensure that this border move becomes a reality? What deeper factors might come into play which makes this switch more likely as the old world order falls apart?

Secession Speakeasy 181 (Public House Edition): Iowa to join the Illinois Separation Effort?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the proposal coming from an Iowa state legislator that Iowa establish a Iowa-Illinois Border Adjustment Committee to see about taking in Illinois counties which wish to separate from political association with Chicago. How similar is this to the effort now going on in Indiana? What hurdles would an Iowa assistance effort face and what preparations should be taken? Why is this an important development in the changing world even if the original proposal is not passed by the Iowa legislature?

Secession Speakeasy 180 (Public House Edition): Will Electoral Representation Issues bring Secession to Ohio?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the newly launched effort in Western Ohio to split a local township into two new townships in order to ensure better representation and addressing of the local peoples’ needs by their local governments. Why is this yet another great example of how secession fever is beginning to rise within America? Why are the objections coming from local authority figures to this split so similar to objections which have been raised against other secession movements and why are they just as ridiculous? What great political approach is being used to help bring about this split which other secession movements should look at implementing themselves? Could this effort successfully spark more widespread talk of secession within the Buckeye State?

Professor Wall is joined by lawyer and Alberta independence activist Katherine Kowalchuk and Canadian law professor Bruce Pardy on “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the recent developments in the Alberta Separatism effort. What are some encouraging aspects that are being seen in the efforts to separate Alberta from Canada? What are some more concerning developments which it might be wise to make note of and take a different approach to? Why is Independence for Alberta not enough to actually restore FREEDOM to Alberta? What are the different stages of the process for Alberta Independence and which is actually most important as opposed to what popular belief holds as the most important?
