Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news coming out of Great Britain and New York City where sections of those respective areas are now beginning to raise the specter of secession. What is pushing the younger generations in the land of Wales to turn their thoughts towards independence? What is the driving force which has rocketed secession to the forefront as a talking point among the people living in Staten Island, New York? Are these further indications that the tide of history is turning in favor of secession?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the launch of a new movement to split the northern areas of Maine from the southwest coastal region of Maine. Will this split develop into separate statehood for Northern Maine or a re-drawing of state borders with New Hampshire taking in the disaffected northern Maine counties? What role could Northern Maine play in the unfolding secessionist sentiments within New England at large? How does this play into the bigger picture of the unfolding political breakup which is developing within both the United States and Canada?

Professor Wall and the Reporter discuss the developments in Wyoming where the state government is now going to be adding gold and silver into it’s Permanent Mineral Trust Fund to help protect the state government from the collapse of the US dollar. Will this investment in gold and silver also serve as a monetary backing for Wyoming to have it’s own stable currency in post-secession America? How is this plan going to also protect everyday Wyoming citizens? What lessons can other states and secession movements take from this extremely important economic step?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss a story from Colorado where local municipal governments are fighting attempts by the Colorado state legislature to take away municipal rights to set their own laws for building houses, businesses, etc. Why are these municipal governments right to stand up for their rights against these centralizing efforts out of Denver? What aspect of the Davos’ “Great Reset” program appears to be at play here? What can state-splitting movements like Greater Idaho, Illinois Separation, Northern Maine and others take from this situation to add to their own arguments for accomplishment of their goals?

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
“From Steal to Secession AM” celebrates it’s 50th episode by welcoming longtime and internationally renowned self-determination and referendum expert Dr. Matt Qvortrup for a fascinating discussion on the practical aspects surrounding self-determination and independence in the realms of culture, law, and practicality. What lessons can we take from the world today of the realities surrounding movements which successfully achieved independence for the parts of the world? What does success for self-determination efforts look like in different contexts? What are the potential results which unfold if people’s rights and needs for self-determination are denied through manipulation by the ruling classes?
The Professor lays forth why it is very wise for self-determination movements to design and put together a flag for their movement and the important roles which flags serve in helping advance such movements.
