Secession Speakeasy 137 (Public House Edition): Iowa offers Southern Minnesota an Escape Route!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the proposal put forward by an Iowa State Senator that the state of Iowa could offer to take in the nine southern Minnesota counties bordering Iowa. How plausible is this proposal? What does this say about Minnesota’s steadily worsening domestic and political situation? How does this fit when considered with the other proposals put forward for rural Minnesota counties to split from the Twin Cities? What kind of pressure can the Iowa state government bring on the Minnesota state government to treat this proposal seriously?

Secession Speakeasy 189 (Public House Edition): Why is America refusing to support Cape & Afrikaner Independence?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the letter recently sent by the Cape Independence Advocacy Group to Donald Trump asking him to move from merely granting Afrikaners refugee status in the United States to openly supporting the Cape Independence effort and Afrikaner self-determination efforts. Why has Trump not done this? What forces are likely at work behind the scenes in American governing circles to prevent America recognizing these movements and what are their motives? Why is refusal to support these movements so incredibly stupid not only from a principles standpoint but a geopolitical standpoint as well?

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. 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 is joined by lawyer and Alberta independence activist Katherine Kowalchuk and Canadian law professor Bruce Pardy on “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the recent developments in the Alberta Separatism effort.

What are some more concerning developments which it might be wise to make note of and take a different approach to? Why is Independence for Alberta not enough to actually restore FREEDOM to Alberta? What are the different stages of the process for Alberta Independence and which is actually most important as opposed to what popular belief holds as the most important?
