Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss recent developments in Greater Idaho’s campaign to move the Oregon border. What are the prospects for success for the now-scheduled referendum in Wallowa County in May 2023? How long will it take for the Oregon and Idaho legislatures to act on the bills being filed concerning the Greater Idaho question? What kind of arguments has Greater Idaho made to convince people that this move would not be “radical” or “unprecedented”? What does Greater Idaho’s efforts mean to the rest of America?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss multiple stories which seem to all point to the reality that the National Divorce phenomenon is fast approaching in Canada.

What does the recent surge in popularity and rise in separatist rhetoric from Quebec’s leading separatist party, the Parti Quebecois, mean for Quebec’s prospects for secession in the near-future?

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
Trying to undermine the efforts of Staten Island to secede from New York City and form its own city, a council member from Brooklyn has commissioned a study which he now uses as proof the Staten Island could not succeed on its own because it cannot support a socialist government. Why is that completely ridiculous? https://keepgovlocal.substack.com/p/secession-only-for-socialists
The always gracious Lew Rockwell consented to publish another piece of ours concerning how a recent current event shows us once again that it is foolish to put faith in politicians and that only we ourselves can take back our own governance and restore our freedoms. Secession is the answer to our problems! https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/05/no_author/put-not-your-trust-in-speakers/
