Secession Speakeasy 126 (Public House Edition): Will the Empire or Individual States break up first?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the growing national conversation surrounding secession as evidenced by recent articles in the Wall Street Journal, The Spectator and the Epoch Times. With the conversation clearly growing as well as the general sentiment towards splitting, the question becomes, what splits up first? Will the DC Empire divide first with states all jettisoning themselves from the DC Union? Or will certain states themselves divide and then be followed by states leaving the DC Union? What trigger points would lead to either scenario unfolding?

Secession Speakeasy 124 (Public House Edition): A Financial Step Towards Florida Secession?

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?

Secession Speakeasy 121 (Public House Edition): Electoral Secession - Democratic Party to Split?!

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?

Secession Speakeasy 119 (Public House Edition): Elites preparing to ignite Civil War in America?

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?

Here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" Family comes FIRST

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.

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

INTERVIEW: The Professor talks with Calexit!

The Professor was invited to join the Calexit Podcast hosted by Marcus Ruiz Evans. The two engage in a far-reaching discussion on Secession, the history of the Secession Speakeasy podcast, the parallels between America’s empire and the history of the empires in Rome and the Soviet Union, the trajectory of America and much of the World towards splitting up, and the imperative action which believers in Secession must carry out if they want to start their own secession movements.

From Steal to Secession AM - Ep. 40: Promoting Self-Determination in California and the World!

Professor Wall welcomes the two main leaders of the Calexit Now movement, Marcus Ruiz Evans and Jason Wright, to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a wide-ranging discussion on their efforts to promote self-determination not only for their own people, but for people across the world. What is the Calexit Now movement? Are left-oriented states being neglected by the Elite classes in Washington DC just as much as right-oriented states are? What is the Global Summit on Self-Determination? How is it looking to assist self-determination movements across the world?
