Secession Speakeasy 33: Welsh-Exit & Staten Island Secession Talk Explodes

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?

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?

Secession Speakeasy 149 (Public House Edition): South African Marxists threaten peaceful self-governing Orania!

Professor Wall and the Reporter discuss the rising threats, protests and political attacks being made against the self-governing South African community of Orania by the Marxist political groups holding power in various forms and degrees in South Africa. Why are the charges of racism and apartheid being leveled against Orania untrue and what is the real agenda against Orania which the Marxists are using the labels as cover for? What is especially dangerous about the tactics the Marxists are using and what could it lead to? Could Orania and the example it has set be a solid foundation for the beginning of a Volkstaat country which secedes from the failing state of South Africa? Why is it imperative for the freedom of all peoples in South Africa that the BRICS countries stay out of South Africa’s impending dissolution?

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?
