Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss a range of sovereignty issues from Canada to Spain to California. Did a high official in Justin Trudeau’s government recently admit publicly that Canada is planning to interfere in America’s forthcoming 2024 elections? Are the Catalan separatists laying the groundwork to make another run at a Catalonia independence referendum with the nature of their demands in their negotiations with the Socialists for power in Spain? What does the new elitist term being thrown out there, namely “political violence”, meant to convey? Is Tom Luongo correct that Gavin Newsom’s recent electoral machinations may be the opening stages of an illegitimate “Elitist Secessionist Project”? What is the major problem for those on both the Left and the Right when it comes to the issue of secession?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the recent revelations from the Texas Nationalist Movement that a coordinated censorship effort against self-determination movements in the social media realm almost certainly exists. Who may be at the root of these efforts to shut down these efforts? What time-tested anti-censorship tactics are leading movements like the Texas Nationalist Movement and Greater Idaho engaging in which every self-determination movement should learn from?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments in Catalonia over the last several months where the Catalan Separatists, in particular Carles Puigdemont and his party, have wrenched extremely significant concessions out of Pedro Sanchez’s socialist government in Madrid. Are these concessions slowly but surely turning Catalonia into a de-facto independent country? What do these developments say about what is likely in both Spain and Catalonia’s near-future?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that reportedly representatives from the Faroe Islands are scheduled to begin negotiations with the nation of Denmark about the Faroes finally being given what they have long sought: Independence. What was particularly effective about the approach of the Faroes independence activists to getting their cause to the verge of success? What lessons can be derived from their campaign to this point which independence activists should take note of in their own efforts?

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
Professor Wall welcomes back Scottish Nationalist academic Dr. Paul Gilfillan, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the developments unfolding in the British Isles. Is the growing realization of the ineffectiveness of elections among the populace, the rising untenability of the domestic situation and the stark dysfunction of the Westminister government opening up new opportunities for independence for the various nations under the British Empire? What does the contrast between the rising popularity for Scottish Independence and the stagnating or declining support for the Scottish National Party say about the situation in Scotland? Could the separation of Northern Ireland from Britain or the Faroe Islands from Denmark play a big role in getting Scottish Nationalism to a new level on the path to independence?

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!
