Keith is joined by Eric Ivers from Illinois to discuss an intrastate secession effort to shift the IL-MO state line, moving 4-5 western Illinois counties to Missouri. Eric has been working to hold a citizen’s referendum in his county, voting to leave IL and become part of Missouri. We discuss the practical matter of passing an intrastate secession shifting state lines, the harder sell of a full state secession by leaving the union, and some secession variations in between. The irreconcilable differences in Illinois are highlighted by socialist, crime-ridden Chicago vs the large rural conservative areas, with state politics dominated by the high population city. Other Illinois secession movements will be touched on, such as solving a big problem by breaking off Chicago into the 51st State of New Illinois, and the intrastate secession movement of downstate counties moving state lines to put them in IN.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the FBI “assessed” the likely source of the virus was a Wuhan lab leak and that the problem is China. Politician and media response is to act as if everyone knows it may have come from the lab, the problem is the Chinese government and the lack of international safety regulations, and the reason we need to know what happened is to prepare for the next pandemic. What is missing from the dozens of media reports Keith watched is mention of the US government’s funding the “research” at Wuhan. Also missing is consideration of NOT inventing new viruses in a lab that kill millions worldwide. Keith discusses the impeccable timing of the FBI’s announcement as the Empire builds public fear of China, and the deafening silence on the fact that the US government partially funded the Wuhan lab’s novel coronavirus gain-of-function work. Evidently they prefer we forget. In this short, prerecorded episode, Keith remembers.

The question of secession is one about the higher authority of the states above the general government. Yes, a state can constitutionally leave the union based the state and people’s decision alone. This principle is recognized by both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The Declaration is a secessionist document - not a founding one. But secession is not included in the version of history taught in the government schools today. The victor's schools teach the opposite, because the US government won the War for Southern Independence. As is true in all of history, the winners write the history books. Keith discusses secession, General Robert E. Lee, and the principles behind a US state lawfully leaving the union.

The federal holiday of this week is Washington’s Birthday - NOT so-called “Presidents Day”. Contrary to popular belief the holiday was NOT changed by Congress. Celebrating the birthday of all presidents is worship of the power of the King, and a celebration of the King himself. The “Presidents Day” holiday honoring the birth of all presidents is the required holiday of a monarchy, where the King’s Birthday is the most important day of the year. George Washington’s actions in the 1700s were a major part of creating the limited constitutional republic we are supposed to have and liberty-minded people should celebrate his birthday. But most US presidents were terrible for liberty. Celebrating the ever-growing power of the federal executive as implemented by most presidents, ludicrously far beyond what the Constitution authorizes, is not an American principles holiday. Keith discusses why we shouldn’t celebrate “Presidents Day”. It’s Washington’s Birthday!

On Feb. 8 investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported U.S. “Navy divers … planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines”. Hersh’s plausible story and reported culprit should be one of the biggest news stories of today, yet a week after publication we mostly see crickets from legacy media. Everyone seems to be assigned to the China Balloon story. The CIA and White House denied involvement (surpassed?).

Hersh’s history of factually exposing major government crimes should give everyone pause. For example - he broke the 1968 My Lai massacre story (The White House denied that one too). If the report is true, the rational conclusion is that the US government is seriously risking WW3 by attacking both Russia and Germany. Keith discusses Seymour’s article and the biggest empire in the history of Earth.

Keith interviews Louis Marinelli on a recently launched movement named “CalExit 3.0”, proposing to split California into two along ideological lines by holding citizen referendums at the county level. The politically left majority counties would leave these united states, forming an independent sovereign country operating under progressive ideologies with a 3:1 starting majority of left-leaning voters. The rest of the counties would remain in the US as the state of California, becoming a swing state with an even mix of politically left, right, and independent voters.

Keith discusses secession movements past and present outside the U.S. with guest J.G. Franklin, a Washingtonian Actor and English Conversation teacher in Brazil. J.G. gives a brief history of the formation of Brazil by secession, arrangement of the federal and individual state governments of Brazil, and the possibility of three southern Brazil states going independent today. We briefly cover some of the numerous peaceful national divorces in the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, and Africa, from Brexit to Namibia to Czech Republic to Crimea. To close we discuss the key to all of this - the principle of self-governance so nicely outlined in the US Declaration of Independence.

Keith discusses the ludicrously unconstitutional attempt by the Biden administration to implement a US wide ban on gas stoves, along with other actions proving those in power in the federal government have zero interest or concern with the limits imposed on them by the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at how far our general government has gone beyond the Founder’s intent, words, and ratified contract between the states that created Washington DC.

Keith discusses the truth behind President Abraham Lincoln’s edict. Widely claimed to “free all slaves” by those promoting the Lincoln Myth, his proclamation did *not* free nearly a million slaves in the united states. Lincoln specifically exempted from freedom every slave in every place he had legal authority in. Be skeptical when a politician attempts to claim a moral high ground. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation political stunt was not what our government schools told us it was.
