Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss two contrasting proposals for secession from New England and the importance of practicality in proposing one’s plans. Why is it so important for secession activists to do their homework and put forward a practical plan for both what their goal is and how to accomplish it?

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?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the current situation which Greenland finds itself in in the aftermath of their local elections as Donald Trump continues to push for America to annex the island while the European Union tries to keep the status quo afloat. What suspicious geopolitical aspects emerged from the Greenland election results? Why are both America and Europe’s designs for the island very detrimental for the people there? What part does Greenland play in the whole elitist schemes for globalist control? Is there any way for Greenland to extricate itself from this geopolitical triangle?

Professor Wall and the Reporter discuss the details surrounding the Trump proposal that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States and the problems for the freedom of the individual which such a proposal poses. Is this part of a plan by people within Trump’s circle to still push the Globalist agenda with a more America-centered focus? What are the deeper benefits which the ruling classes in America see in absorbing Canada into the US government system? Why is the whole proposal so inherently dangerous that even Trump supporters should oppose it?

Professor Wall welcomes former Marxist and Mises Institute scholar Dr Michael Rectenwald for a discussion on why it is so important to maintain a healthy distrust of consolidated government power, even in the age of Donald Trump. Why is simply changing the people wielding the instruments of power not enough to restore liberty? What is it about power itself as well as the very nature of the state that makes it so dangerous for such powerful structures to be left functioning? How does secession play into the whole picture of rolling back the abuses of power?
