Secession Speakeasy 76: Using Geopolitical Blackmail to take away Independence?

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss the recent developments in northwest Africa and southern Europe where Morocco appears to be taking steps geopolitically to blackmail Spain into supporting Morocco’s efforts to take away the independence of the neighboring Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. What is especially reprehensible about these actions? What are the background reasons why this dispute has been allowed to drag on for so long? What dangerous precedent could this set for other self-determination movements if Morocco succeeds in its efforts?

Secession Speakeasy 162 (Public House Edition): Quebec & Alberta Separatists meet to plan collaboration!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, the leader of the Quebec separatist party the Parti Quebecois, met both privately and publicly with certain Alberta separatist leaders to discuss collaborating their efforts to help each other accomplish their goal of independence for their respective nations. Why is this a huge positive development for the oppressed people of Canada and for the prospects of peace after the dissolution of the Canadian nation? What can other self-determination movements across the world learn from this alliance between two movements of differing ideologies and yet both seeking independence for their peoples?

Secession Speakeasy 161 (Public House Edition): Revolutions in Sri Lanka & Nepal a taste of what is coming worldwide?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the people’s revolutions which unfolded in Sri Lanka and Nepal and how they were triggered by an utter collapse in domestic living conditions for the working classes of both countries. What similarities can be drawn from the working class conditions within these two countries and the conditions for the non-elite classes in places like Europe, Africa, Canada, America, China and across much of the rest of the world? Keeping these similarities in mind, what warnings can be drawn from Nepal and Sri Lanka for what may unfold across much of the rest of the world in the near-future? How does this play into the whole breakup of nations which Martin Armstrong is forecasting and far-seeing individuals can see coming?

From Steal to Secession AM - Ep. 54: Has America Reached the Point of No Return?

Professor Wall welcomes Daniel McAdams and Chris Rossini back to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a discussion on where America stands as Donald Trump's second term begins to really unravel due to foreign policy blunders, a collapsing domestic economy and dangerously spiking domestic tensions in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. Has anything good for the people of America come out of Trump's second term? What are the odds of civil war in America in the near-future? Can National Divorce be accomplished in America in a way which restores peace and opens the doors for prosperity? How much of what is unfolding is real and how much is a façade for the public eye?

Professor Wall welcomes the Foreign Minister of the microstate of Liberland, Thomas Walls, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss Liberland, it’s history, it’s fight for recognition among the nations of the world, and what it hopes to accomplish for the people who have chosen to be part of this nation. Why is there such opposition to the establishment and growth of Liberland coming from certain government sectors in the Balkans?

How is Liberland going about seeking to obtain recognition from other nations? What self-governing and economic principles make up the foundation of Liberland as a nation? What can Liberland teach other self-determination and self-government movements across the world?
