The offal Old North State

#NCExit?

According to Ryan McMaken’ s new book, Breaking Away, since 1945 the number of independent countries in the world has almost tripled. #Secession is trending!

We, the people of the empire formerly known as the “United States of America” would be well-served to heed the lesson. After all, these confederated states were formed by secession from an overbearing Great Britain.

I submit that it is now high time that the revolutionary principles of our founders be applied to the federal oligarchy under whose yoke we are currently repressed.

#CalExit, for example, seems like both an excellent idea for those who desire to live there, and for those of us residing elsewhere as well.

I would further suggest that North Carolina would benefit from secession from the US, in ways both cultural and economic. Furthermore, NC currently consists of at least three independent regions (western, central, and eastern), each of which would benefit from disassociation from the others.

The idea of the eastern part of our state being disconnected from the urban central region excites me — the trade and governance aspects seem to almost demand it. And, as an historical “Appalachian-American”, I suspect the mountain folk might find a similar separation advantageous as well.

Such functional separations might lead to consolidations with areas more in common also, e.g., eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina, or eastern NC and eastern SC perhaps.

There seems less and less reason to maintain our national status quo, and stronger and stronger arguments for a ‘national’ reorganization. At least, I think the topic deserves some serious discussion at several structural levels.

I Choose …

… religion over the cult of the state.

… liberty over servitude.

… the constitution over anti-liberty statutes and emergency orders.

… self-reliance over dependency.

… individual choice over diktat.

… republicanism over communism.

… local control over state control.

… common sense over herd hysteria.

… nationalism over globalism.

How about you? It is past time to take a stand. No alternative is acceptable. No price is too great.

All I Need To Know

I wrote my state “representative” (R-35) as follows:

Sir,

I encourage you in the strongest possible terms to actively support and vote for HB61. It is past time to act on behalf of your constituents to protect their natural right to self-defense without infringement or restriction.

Thank you!

I received the following response:

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to my office. We appreciate hearing from our constituents, and your comments help me better represent you and the people of NC House District 35.

Sincerely,

Representative Terence Everitt
NC House District 35
1301 Legislative Building
16 W Jones St, Raleigh NC 27601
(919) 715-3010

That says it all without actually saying anything.

God protect us from our enemies … and save us from our friends!

Announcing A Major Scientific Breakthrough!

A joint task force from the HLM Institute and the WR Institute have announced a major discovery in the long-standing and contentious research on human-generated climate change.

Researchers discovered a strong correlation between the short-term increase in CO2, methane, and other gases and the onset of the new legislative sessions around the nation.

Government officials across the country typically refused comment, presumably fearing self-incrimination.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
“Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don’t hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous.”
