California gained an embassy in Russia last weekend, at least in the eyes of those who have promised to seek a statewide vote on secession, nicknamed "Calexit," in 2018.
Louis Marinelli, a San Diego resident who is the leader of the group promoting an effort to turn the state into an independent country , organized the Moscow event that was publicized on social media.
"We want to start laying the groundwork for a dialogue about an independent California joining the United Nations now," he said in an email Monday.

Marinelli is currently working as an English teacher in Russia, and said he is there working on immigration issues related to his wife, who is a Russian national....

Russia doesn’t want Communist losers. Send them to the utopia of North Korea.
Anyone care to speculate as to the repercussions/ramifications if sessession passed?
Wait, I’m not sure. Are we supposed to hate or like Russia. I am getting so confused.
This is great news! All this time I thought Texas would have to jump off the Titanic. I never thought the iceberg would move out of the way. Where do I send $ to help this cause?
55 Electoral Votes for the Dems automatically:
From WHOM will the resistance REALLY come, huh..?
YOU KNOW.
“California should build wall around border.”
Will the barb wire on the top be slanted inside or outside?
So Moscow is not hacking for the Democrats? Between this and Hillary Uranium, and we have dum fck traitor liberals in the CIA saying Trump works for russians...
Look I just said it to be saying it. It was not meant to be a serious statement.
Anyway its hard to treat the Logan Act seriously, to my knowledge no one has ever been prosecuted for violating it.
My view if you have a law enforce it or repeal it!
I wonder what those Californians who are expecting big pensions from government jobs will say about this..
This is not just one individual. La Raza and the groups that desire to reclaim the states lost in the war with Mexico - to be named Atzlan.
This is a modern day group some of whom are similar to The Weather Underground with respect to methods. The FBI infiltrators back then talked about Ayer’s group discussing the need to kill 25 million people who might not be able to be re-educated.
I have read that some of the members(cartel and gangs) of the Calexit group have suggested that they could just starting killing lots of people of European descent so that they would leave California, if they are not successful in seceding. Governor Brown I read, is also supporting the idea of secession.
The movement to form the 51st state from Northern areas of California is following a legal path to that end, and hence there is impetus on the Calexit group to move fast before that can happen.
I have pasted much the same and had some FR cheese-eating, surrender-monkeys try to drag me through the coals.
Mark my words, if California tries it, they will only bring pain and hurt down on themselves.
The next revolution, if it has to happen, will be when America rises up and chastises Sodom on the Potomac.
Exactly!!!
“Sodom on the Potomac”
And Gomorrah by the bay!
Absolutely. For half a century the leftists blocked people in northern California and southern Oregon from creating the State of Jefferson, giving every excuse under the Sun why secession is impossible. But California should be split up, into at least 3 but up to as many as 6 pieces. Even though it isn't apparent to many, the libs are active primarily in the large coastal cities while most of the land in California is conservative. Let them create a coastal state comprised of a piece immediately around San Francisco, another around Los Angeles. The rest stays put in the U.S.A., including the resource-rich regions that remain conservative.
LOL, it will go by counties. Resistance will be harsh. They may find themselves without food and water. Chances of the Central Valley, North Coast, and San Diego staying with the US would be great. In fact, once the Feds stop funding the State and the unfunded pensions, R and D for defense and removed the military bases and federal prisons, the state will be in dire straights
..So now they are ok with Russia?....
More than OK. California longs for the good old Soviet days.
It’s their role model post secession.
The border should be Highway 5 or 99 with Sacramento cut out for Mexifornia.
This issue reminds me of Jane Fondas stunt with the Vietnamese.
Russia undoubtedly understands that the referenced person is not an agent of the state.
But this person may be violating the Logan Act.
Logan Act
Corrections, insights welcome.
I’ll write it again. We couldn’t get that lucky.
Especially my home state of Colorado, which could renegotiate the foolish water rights sale done decades ago.
No, remember they want a dictator. They don’t believe in real elections.
