COVID-19 Reading List

In honor of the Supreme Court hearing the challenges to the vaccine mandates today, I would like to share with our community my list of reading recommendations so you can get the true perspective on COVID-19, its restrictions and the people behind pushing these restrictions. Educate yourself and then share your knowledge with those around you! Local solutions like self-educating and sharing your knowledge is how we defeat this totalitarian campaign.

Secession Speakeasy 152 (Public House Edition): Why is Secession a Forbidden Topic of Discussion?

Professor Wall, the Secession Minstrel and the Jester hold the annual Secession Day discussion unpacking the following question: “Why are we forbidden to discuss the topic of secession?” Why is it considered a cultural taboo to even bring up the topic? Could it be that the Elite classes recognize that if they wish to maintain their rule over the people that then the people must not be made aware of a very effective political tool in their toolbox?

Secession Speakeasy 151 (Public House Edition): Washington State Split Talk Heating Up!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the recent proposals being discussed in Washington State about putting forward solid grassroots opposition to tyrannical governor Bob Ferguson’s agenda. Can a “Convention of Counties” to push for a “federalization” of the state government pull off a necessary correction? Or is Washington state bound for breakup no matter what? What about these proposals bear similarities to steps America’s Founding Fathers took in the lead-up to the Revolution? What role might these proposals play in the likely resurrection of the State of Liberty movement?

Secession Speakeasy 150 (Public House Edition): Has Canada’s “National Divorce Era” officially Begun?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapid unfolding of events in Canada, especially in the wake of the 2025 Canadian federal elections. Why does secession preparation appear to be increasing in intensity across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec in particular? What is particularly striking about the differences in preparation approaches? What is it about the recent turn of events which seems to point to the real possibility that Canada’s National Divorce era has now begun?

Here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" Family comes FIRST

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

A Great Conversation Concerning TEXIT!

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!

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?
