Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapid series of events which unfolded in Austin, Texas to begin the year and how what took place there is going to affect the ongoing battle to get a TEXIT vote and various other state sovereignty initiatives through the legislature. Could the defeat of David Cook have long-term positive ratifications for the Texit cause just as the 2020 elections did for MAGA? How many of these renewed state sovereignty measures will get through? What is the key mindset change which seems to have emerged both in the Texas legislature and among the populace in general which is a very good sign for the Texit cause?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapidly escalating situation in the Balkans which looks like it is reaching it’s moment of truth for the political entity known as Republika Srpska.

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments in Catalonia over the last several months where the Catalan Separatists, in particular Carles Puigdemont and his party, have wrenched extremely significant concessions out of Pedro Sanchez’s socialist government in Madrid. Are these concessions slowly but surely turning Catalonia into a de-facto independent country? What do these developments say about what is likely in both Spain and Catalonia’s near-future?

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?

Professor Wall welcomes back Scottish Nationalist academic Dr. Paul Gilfillan, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the developments unfolding in the British Isles. Is the growing realization of the ineffectiveness of elections among the populace, the rising untenability of the domestic situation and the stark dysfunction of the Westminister government opening up new opportunities for independence for the various nations under the British Empire? What does the contrast between the rising popularity for Scottish Independence and the stagnating or declining support for the Scottish National Party say about the situation in Scotland? Could the separation of Northern Ireland from Britain or the Faroe Islands from Denmark play a big role in getting Scottish Nationalism to a new level on the path to independence?
