Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments in Spain where the Catalans pressed their leverage to get major concessions from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his PSOE party on Catalan separatist demands, including some that were VERY surprising. What might the Catalan separatists’ gameplan be going forward? Why did Davos seem to back down on this and what might they be plotting behind the scenes even with this apparent defeat?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the largely unnoticed news out of Florida that the Sunshine State’s Chief Financial Officer is putting the wheels in motion for gold and silver to be recognized as legal tender and the CFO’s reference to taking this step to protect against the collapse of the dollar. Is this another indication that preparations are going on inside Florida for the state to chart it’s own path as the Empire collapses?

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss a prediction from the great geopolitical forecaster and analyst Martin Armstrong that the Democratic Party is due to split up in the near-future. Is there evidence on the ground politically which reinforces Armstrong’s prediction? If so, why is it happening? What would the long-term benefits be of a Democratic party split-up? Why would the Republican party NOT benefit long-term from this?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss a number of different news stories which, when analyzed inside the bigger picture, point to a rather disturbing conclusion. Are the Elites putting pieces in place to take resistance out of the electoral realm and into more dangerous realms? What should Secession believers watch out for in order to avoid being labeled as scapegoats as a result of these Elitist machinations? Is there ways that these Elitist plans could end up backfiring on them for the benefit of the people?

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 Alberta lawyer and commentator Katherine Kowalchuk to "From Steal to Secession AM" to discuss events in Alberta and what is really going on behind the scenes. What is the truth about Premier Danielle Smith, the Alberta Sovereignty Act and Alberta's ongoing battle with the Canadian federal government in Ottawa? What does Alberta really need to happen in order to start standing in true defiance against the federal government in Ottawa? What else should be being done to advance the cause of Alberta sovereignty? What more could be done to protect the Albertan people against Ottawa's tyrannical overreach? How might the cause for Alberta Independence advance in the near-future?

Professor Wall welcomes Florida secession activist and FLexit leader Keith Bessette to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a discussion on secession, it's deeper justifications, and it's prospects in the state of Florida. What are the Principles of Secession? How do we overcome certain basic objections to the idea of secession? Is Ron DeSantis putting pieces in place for Florida to assert it's own sovereignty for (in his own mind) the worse-possible what-if scenario of a collapse of Washington DC? What kind of independent spirit exists among the people in Florida? Is it enough to lend support to a secession effort? How soon might Florida follow states like Texas, New Hampshire, Louisiana, or California out of the DC-based Union?
