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 news out of the Canadian province of Manitoba where polls are finding separatism sentiment rising, which seems to be putting the elite storytellers in the Canadian establishment media in a panic. What does the article seem to be implying about the rise of the separatist mentality among the Manitoban people through the fear and alarm that is evident through the verbage of the article? What does this seem to say about the future of Canada if Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec all have successful independence referendums in the near-future?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the different approaches now being discussed by the Greater Idaho movement in their quest to bring about separation from Oregon and unification with Idaho. What are the pros and cons of the three initial ideas proposed? Are there other options available which would be a longer campaign but would bring about success for the Greater Idaho and be a positive long-term trend in both the area and the country as a whole? How does this effort to re-direct Greater Idaho’s approach prove that long-term the movement will succeed in it’s goals?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news out of the British Isles where the City of London and the British Deep State are putting forward a narrative that social media bots, which they claim originate from Iran, are behind the recent surge in popularity for Scottish Independence. Why does this narrative have no real evidence backing it up? Is this being used to justify a future crackdown by the British Deep State to destroy the Scottish Independence effort? Are they also trying to lay the groundwork justifying British intervention in the war being waged against Iran? What should Scottish Independence backers be doing to combat this narrative going into the 2026 Scottish elections?

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
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!
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?
