The California secessionist movement is fast becoming a political reality, even though it stands no realistic chance of ever succeeding. In a crucial first step towards their long term goal, secessionists have successfully filed a ballot initiative proposing that the state become its own country and secede from the United States. The initiative has now been cleared for signature gathering and will require 546,651 valid signatures by July 22nd in order to become a formal ballot initiative. If successful, voters would be asked in 2028 the following question: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent...

CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) - Carbondale City Council Member Clare Killman posted a video on Facebook calling for the state of Illinois to secede from the rest of the nation. It’s a move that local experts say is next to impossible. Kenneth Mulligan is a Political Science Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He says political moves like this are why President Elect-Donald Trump won the election in November.

CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” called Donald Trump a “secessionist, seditious president of the United States who inspired and celebrated a riot to burn down the Capitol.” Cooper said, “I wanted to bring in someone who masterfully told the story of Nixon’s final days, Carl Bernstein.”

Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia.

If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it’s not a hard process for us to...

Secessionists meeting in Tennessee By BILL POOVEY, Associated Press Writer Wed Oct 3, 3:15 AM ET CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - In an unlikely marriage of desire to secede from the United States, two advocacy groups from opposite political traditions — New England and the South — are sitting down to talk. ADVERTISEMENT Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully. That sounds just fine to the League of the South, a conservative group that refuses to give up on Southern independence. "We believe that an...

Whither the Scots? John O' Sullivan National Post Monday, January 08, 2007 Scotland's New Year -- known as Hogmanay -- is traditionally celebrated more uproariously than any other day of the year. But New Year, 2007, includes two events in the Scottish calendar that could create an enormous hangover for the full year. Compared to Canada's own secessionist murmurings -- which have been quelled (for the moment) by Stephen Harper's clever resolution designating Quebec as a nation "within a united Canada" -- the U.K. may be in for a rough ride. The first event on the horizon is the...

The coming economic crisis. Unemployment. Health care for the poor. The almost 1,500 dead soldiers. The almost 100,000 dead Iraqis. Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher. The Christian Conservative takeover of our nation. The missing 9 billion. The missing weapons of mass destruction. The impending invasion of Iran, and Syria. The total failure to protect us on 9-11.
