[Episode 0922] [Rebel Civics] Peaceful Secession Worldwide with J.G. Franklin
Jan 25, 202301:34:30Tap to summarizeKeith discusses secession movements past and present outside the U.S. with guest J.G. Franklin, an actor, english conversation teacher, and Washingtonian living in Brazil. The trend of the last century is away from empires toward decentralization, with the number of countries tripling in the last century. We start with Brazil - J.G. gives a brief history of the formation of Brazil by mostly peaceful separation, 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 talk about the key to all of this - the principle of self-governance beautifully outlined in the US Declaration of Independence.

Jan 18, 202301:48:26Tap to summarizeKeith and guest Benjamin Shaffer discusses the ludicrously unconstitutional consideration 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. We go though the list of federal agencies discussing which are Constitutional, which are not, and why. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at how far our general government has gone beyond the Founder’s intent, words, and the ratified contract between the states that created Washington DC. Benjamin is an attorney deeply interested in the Constitution from the Founder’s view, and counsel with the alternate currency company Goldback.

Jan 11, 202300:59:03Tap to summarizeKeith 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.

Jan 8, 202302:12:33Tap to summarizeThe Unsafe Space Book Club reviews and discusses Tom Woods' new book "National Divorce" on peaceful political separation, hosted by Keith with a panel of secession thinkers. The book is based on episodes of Tom Woods Show episodes and Mises Institute talks, with secession perspectives from Tom, Jeff Deist (President of the Mises Institute), Historian Brion McClannahan, rabble-rouser Michael Malice, law school professor F.H. Buckley, President of the Texas Nationalist movement (Texit) Daniel Miller, and author Kirkpatrick Sale. Why is it such a big deal about wanting to draw a political boundary here, instead of over there? Is the best possible arrangement of society really to have 330 million people ruled from one city? The book answers these questions, explains why a state leaving the union is constitutional and why secession is NOT treason, and presents solid arguments in favor of the principle of self-governance. Joining in on the Book Club discussions: Marcus Ruiz Evans, President of the Calexit full state secession movement Steven Axelman, Founder of Americans for Peaceful Separation (APS) and Board member of Foundation for New Hampshire Independence J.G. Franklin, an English teacher and Washingtonian Actor in Brazil, bringing in the Brazil secession movement perspective Alex, Unsafe Space #Texit #NHExit #Calexit #FLexit Link to download free E-book: https://nationaldivorce.com For more content and information on next month's book: https://unsafespace.com We believe in Free Speech and we'd love it if you would follow us and watch our shows on Rumble! https://rumble.com/c/UnsafeSpace For a full description of this episode, including a list of links to referenced material, visit: https://unsafespace.com/book-club/TBD About Book Club The Unsafe Space Book Club is an opportunity for members of the community to read and then get together to discuss interesting or relevant books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Transcribe →[Episode 0918] [Rebel Civics] 2022 Rebel Civics Review
Jan 4, 202301:12:55Tap to summarizeKeith looks back at 2022 from a civics perspective on the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful as the government continued its war against us. Included from the bad side, we cover government successes destroying the value of the dollar and moving us closer to WW3. On the good side we saw government failures when their virus/drug sales scam was exposed and the expansion of state nullification of federal laws on marijuana, firearms, and now psilocybin mushrooms. For the 2022 ugly side taxpayers got a $1.7T ass-kicking from the year-end passing of the “omnibus” bill. From the beautiful side the Twitter/FBI political censorship ring was blown wide open by the richest guy in the world using his cash to do something about free speech. Join live to add to the list!

Dec 22, 202201:20:28Tap to summarizeThe Constitution’s “welfare clause” is frequently used to claim the federal government can lawfully fund 80+ social welfare programs. This claim requires ignoring the Constitution’s limits on the funding powers of Congress. Keith explains why the claim is both false and absurd, why every federal welfare program is unconstitutional, and why nearly $1T/year in unlawful federal spending would be eliminated if Congress abided by the contractual legal requirements they have sworn to uphold.
