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 recent proposals being discussed in Washington State about putting forward solid grassroots opposition to tyrannical governor Bob Ferguson’s agenda. Can a “Convention of Counties” to push for a “federalization” of the state government pull off a necessary correction? Or is Washington state bound for breakup no matter what? What about these proposals bear similarities to steps America’s Founding Fathers took in the lead-up to the Revolution? What role might these proposals play in the likely resurrection of the State of Liberty movement?

Professor Wall and the Reporter discuss the rising threats, protests and political attacks being made against the self-governing South African community of Orania by the Marxist political groups holding power in various forms and degrees in South Africa. Why are the charges of racism and apartheid being leveled against Orania untrue and what is the real agenda against Orania which the Marxists are using the labels as cover for? What is especially dangerous about the tactics the Marxists are using and what could it lead to? Could Orania and the example it has set be a solid foundation for the beginning of a Volkstaat country which secedes from the failing state of South Africa? Why is it imperative for the freedom of all peoples in South Africa that the BRICS countries stay out of South Africa’s impending dissolution?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the recent developments surrounding the situation in South Africa. AfriForum and South African Solidarity successfully lobbied Donald Trump and Elon Musk to bring attention to the plight of the Afrikaners and the slowly unfolding genocide in South Africa. However these episodes do not seem to have brought about support from the American government for the Cape Independence cause despite the Cape Independence groups sending a delegation to Washington seeking geopolitical help. Why is getting help from Washington unlikely? Where is the success of the Cape Independence effort more likely to arise from? Why is it imperative for the freedom of all peoples in South Africa that the BRICS countries stay out of South Africa’s impending dissolution?

In a crossover episode with the new podcast“War, Divorce or Federalism” Professor Wall engages in a lively discussion with former North Dakota state legislator Rick Becker on America’s current situation and the choices facing the peoples who make up this vast country. Can federalism be re-asserted through a process like the Article V Convention so as to diffuse tensions and so prevent the onset of a possible civil war? Or have things deteriorated so badly that only national divorce can bring back peace?
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
“From Steal to Secession AM” celebrates it’s 50th episode by welcoming longtime and internationally renowned self-determination and referendum expert Dr. Matt Qvortrup for a fascinating discussion on the practical aspects surrounding self-determination and independence in the realms of culture, law, and practicality. What lessons can we take from the world today of the realities surrounding movements which successfully achieved independence for the parts of the world? What does success for self-determination efforts look like in different contexts? What are the potential results which unfold if people’s rights and needs for self-determination are denied through manipulation by the ruling classes?
