Secession Movement Ready to Take HoldSARTRE, Contributor Honest Abes version of despotism caused many politicians to Wave the bloody shirt, but todays crop of brave leaders just asks you to sign a petition to beg for a cordial severance. Just imagine the response from the unprincipled governmental career class. The re-education FEMA facilities are ready to become todays Camp Douglas detention centers. The League of the South list Ten Reasons For Secession and offers this assessment. What is behind this increasing support for secession and independence? Perhaps the answer is this: hard reality has finally trumped the myth of a sacred, indivisible union. In other words, many citizens are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall, and the message is alarming. Notwithstanding, the sentiments of the Old South, the contemporary motivation to reject the arrogant and oppressive dictates of the central government is taking hold for a myriad of reasons. One of the stronger reasons appears in the article, Pluralism Leaves No Other Option LIBERTY Demands Secession. It is absolutely crucial to view the concept of America not as a country, and certainly not as a government. The uniqueness in the notion of the 1776 revolution lies within the shot heard round the world. Equity adjudication of the inadequate common law, supplant natural law with chancery courts. Equity follows the law is the claim, but the practice is that the law becomes arbitrary, that which men desire. Set aside the fear of federal retribution and coercive retaliation. Is it justified to seek dissolution of the failed empire that has long ago buried the essence of a constitutional republic? The great departed Joseph Sobran in Secession, Anyone?, urges you to search your conscience and be true to your immortal soul. A few readers think Im writing with tongue in cheek when I propose secession. Well, though I see the humor of it, Im not exactly joking. I know its unlikely to happen, for the time being, but the idea has value as a thought-experiment. It can help free our minds of the illusion that the present political status quo was, and is, inevitable. How would such a movement proceed? The essay, Representation, Secession and Taxation, illustrates unbearable circumstances and practical steps to ratchet up populace pressure. As discontent rises and practical solutions evaporate, that dirty historic sentiment begins to bubble to the surface, SECESSION. Russell D. Longcore provides a standard, when secession is a vital and justified option that many would accept. Secession should be solemnly deliberated by the elected representatives and the state citizens. Secession should be initiated at the moment that any state reaches the point at which it will no longer accept the despotic tyranny and laws coming from the US Federal Government in Washington, DC. Or, secession should be initiated upon a collapse of the Dollar, or the imposition by Washington DC of martial law in the event of social upheaval. The initiative, Petitions to secede are filed for 23 states since election, as previously reported by the Washington Times explains the procedure. The White House may have to take the requests seriously. According to the website, any petition receiving 25,000 online signatures on the We the People page within 30 days of posting will receive a review by the appropriate executive department and a response from a White House staffer. As of Monday, the Texas petition had already exceeded the 25,000-signature threshold, and the Louisiana petition was fast approaching the cutoff with more than 18,000 signatures. Most of the petitions were posted online Nov. 10, which means they have until Dec. 10 to qualify for a response. A further update appears on U.S. Citizens In Over 40 States File Petitions For Secession, which also lists the states and the proposed response. The Obama administration explains on the website, If a petition meets the signature goal within the designated period, the White House will respond to that petition in a timely fashion. Finally, the Daily Caller raises attention from the state of Texas. The Texas petition leads all others by a wide margin. Shortly before 9:00 a.m. EST Wednesday, it had attracted 94,700 signatures. But a spokesperson for Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday afternoon that he does not support the idea of his state striking out on its own. Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government, according to a statement from the governors office. A backlash Monday night saw requests filed with the White House to strip citizenship rights from Americans who signed petitions to help states secede. This last implication, suggesting that any citizen that petitions for secession to the federal government should be stripped of citizenship, essentially supports the case why beleaguered and ostracized proponents of a nation of laws, as opposed to a banana republic of the rule of men, deserves a peaceful severing of ties. Read closer the real intentions of the global fascists: Anti-secession forces fight back with White House deportation petitions. Mr. President, reads one, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported. This so called peaceful deportment is basically the separation sought, when the destination for exile is the very state that seeks secession. Each individual state retains their sovereignty and every citizen is endowed with intrinsic natural rights. The fault with petitions to the federal government for the privilege of exercising your own inherent rights is absurd. State governors need to demonstrate the leadership to rally their legislatures to employ their legitimate dominion in the face of federal government tyranny. Force, bribery and unlawful court decisions are the tools used by the central government to intimidate, cajole and dictate their formula of oppression. Mr. Sobrans questioning the inevitability for acceptance of federal authoritarianism, rests on your fortitude and character of exercising your basic human rights. Secession from tyrannical government is a moral imperative. Any illusion that the Obama administration would willingly bend to the will of the people from a sovereign state escapes normal thought, however, in the face of stark repression, only consistency with valuing the sanctity of life and human rights, allows for principled stands on high moral ground. Governments fall, while a consensual nation state can still survive. With the destruction of an accepted traditionalistic national identity, time-honored heritage becomes the target of dictatorial do gooders who facilitate subjugation of independent self-governing states. The disease of false patriotism in a corrupt and imperial empire is destroying the lives and moral character of the multitude. Decent citizens need to proceed with advocacy on secession with more action than signing a petition. They must confront the domination out of Washington directly. They must lobby their state legislatures to reject federal intrusion. Also, they must pressure their governors to resist and fight back the coercion from central governance. When the oppressed masses realize that the welfare state is actually a Chicago-style detention camp intended with their demise, the prospects for a ground swell for secession would explode. The context of justifiable rebellion starts in Texas as stated in Politico account, Secession petition leader: Obamas baked. I am completely aware that Election Day was a catalyzing moment, but I do not believe that the underpinnings of this are solely about Barack Obama, Texas Nationalist Movement President Daniel Miller told POLITICO. This cake has been baking for a long time its the Obama administration that put the candles on the cake and lit it for us.
