Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapid unfolding of events in Canada, especially in the wake of the 2025 Canadian federal elections. Why does secession preparation appear to be increasing in intensity across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec in particular? What is particularly striking about the differences in preparation approaches? What is it about the recent turn of events which seems to point to the real possibility that Canada’s National Divorce era has now begun?

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. Will the people of Republika Srpska finally give Milorad Dodik the backing he needs to pull off a successful secession from the failing state of Bosnia-Herzegovina? Have the people there finally been pushed beyond their patience level with the European Union and it’s Globalist allies? What lessons can other secession movements take from what is happening with Republika Srpska?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the recent revelations from the Texas Nationalist Movement that a coordinated censorship effort against self-determination movements in the social media realm almost certainly exists. Who may be at the root of these efforts to shut down these efforts? What time-tested anti-censorship tactics are leading movements like the Texas Nationalist Movement and Greater Idaho engaging in which every self-determination movement should learn from?

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? Who might be behind this effort to deny Liberland the recognition it deserves despite the fact that they seek peace and pose no threat to anyone? 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?

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 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?
