Warning Signs from the August 2nd, 2022 Primaries

Many are celebrating the victory of their preferred candidates on August 2nd, and with good reason. However there were many troubling things which emerged as well, and people would be wise to be aware of these things and what it probably portends for November:

1) Vote totals for Grassroots candidates going backwards in the middle of vote-counting.

2) Absurd rises in the vote totals of Establishment candidates.

3) Vote machines rejecting valid ballots and forcing them to be adjudicated by ‘neutral’ observers (and its primarily happening in Republican counties).

4) Mail-in Ballot problems were still widespread.

5) Efforts being made to undercover give Democrat voters Republican primary ballots.

6) “Sharpiegate”, the use of sharpie pens on ballots which then mess up the ballot and give the impression the voter voted for candidates they did not vote for.

7) Valid voters are discovering that their ballots have been rejected without good cause.

As I stated in a previous “From Steal to Secession AM” episode, I am convinced many tests are being run in the primary elections right now to prepare for the November midterms, and based on what I am seeing that is being borne out.

I am also seeing a general narrative being spun about the midterm election results that the expectations are Republicans will barely take back the House, but the Democrats will take the Senate. Even Mitch McConnell is promoting this narrative. Again, as we laid out in a previous “From Steal to Secession AM” episode, the Elites have made it clear that they have a lot of confidence that their efforts will succeed and that confidence can only come from a knowledge that they have rigged the system.

Do not let up! Keep voting and supporting your preferred candidates. Either we overwhelm the fraud algorithms, or the elites are forced to resort to even more obvious stealing which will wake more people up.

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 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

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?
