Publisher’s Note: If this election season does not cure you of voting at any level in a statists enterprise, you have been paralyzed from the neck up in a skiing accident. When you pull that lever, it is a declaration of war on your neighbor.
Use this time to tend to your preps.
This is the one hundred year anniversary of the Easter Rising in Ireland and the beginning of the “suit and tie” guerrilla fight in Eire. In recognition of the coming Endarkenment and the possibility for sporty times ahead, I’ve added two new wrinkles to my armory for the excitement ahead.

On to secession.
Moving on, I find the Anti-Federalist papers always refreshing and invigorating to review and read again. As a Stoic, I often read writing that is literally two thousand years old. I don’t suffer from the chronological conceit that if it weren’t published in the last five years, it has no merit. Hence a reunion with my secession series I penned years ago before I was ex-communicated from Lewrockwell.com.
A fictional narrative series on possible futures in the USSA.
I inaugurated the first of several conversations about secession several years ago. The first essay is published below and the accompanying essays are linked below that. Mordor on the Potomac can NEVER be reformed. You can send good people but they will be sucked into a system of corruption and servitude that is unrivaled in the last thousand years in the magnitude of treasure and blood expended outside of large conflicts.
Buppert’s Corollary to Acton’s Axiom is that “Power attracts the corruptible and absolute power attracts even worse”. Rare is the ruler in any annals of history whose psyche is not possessed of a severe psychopathy or sociopathy; they rule and seek to do so because they wish to control others ultimately through any means necessary. Five millennia of chronicled history is unimpeachable – government, whether secular or religious, is the source of ALL slavery and the fount of most violence leading to the abattoirs like Nazi Germany or the USSR. We are on the road ourselves.
This election season has been quite the peek behind the curtain at how the ruling cabals in America work. The email scandals surrounding Comrade Clinton, the Wikileaks release, the American Stasi clean bill of health for a politician spreading state secrets, the triangulation of the Clinton Foundation and the pay for play of some the most vile regimes on Earth…
On and on…
The wars we now engage in AfPak, Yemen, Iraq and all the other neo-imperialist shitpits planet-wide are simply more expenditures of blood and treasure on top of the War on Drugs, Poverty, etc. The Soviet Union was quite vicious but at least they were honest about their form of government. We are bombarded by the government/media complex on the freedoms and liberties we enjoy. What? The attack on 9/11 and our war on Islam is not a response to their antipathy toward the aforementioned freedoms and liberties. They have simply reacted to decades of war on the Middle East. We were told they hate us for our freedoms but that charge is more fairly leveled at our own government.
The final deSovietization of these united States will only occur when the American fractures, dissolves, devolves and calves off into the inevitable regional enclaves which have been created already through spontaneous order. Remember that all the analysts were caught flat-footed when the USSR collapsed in 1989. It can happen here so you had better prepare for the worst because it is coming. That is not one Black Swanapproaching, it is a flock.
The America in the Inland West is significantly different in culture and temperament from the Soviet-lite states of the Northeast. This country was born in a divorce from the United Kingdom and a secondary revolution in 1860-65 to right fissures that had long been festering and it is time for the country to file for divorce again – from Washington.
My books are available on Amazon and I would love some honest reviews if you have the time. -BB
“Good Morning, Governor, how might we…”
“Mr. President, I realize you are a busy man so let’s get down to brass tacks…we are calling the ball and withdrawing our support of your Administration and the Federal government in DC. Effective immediately, we have coordinated to place all outgoing receipts to the IRS in a caged account here in Boise…”
“Governor, you can’t do that…”
“Please don’t interrupt while I am speaking as we are from this point onward peers in the family of nations. I hope you have reviewed the diplomatic instruments we sent by courier last night to Department of State which delineates the terms of our divorce.”
“I did receive those and you have no earthly idea the can of whoop-…”
“Please, sir, maintain the decorum of these proceedings so we can move forward to an amicable separation. I give you my personal assurance on the safety and well-being of all Federal personnel we have detained for immediate repatriation to the remainder of these United States. Any non-law enforcement Federal personnel who wish to remain behind will be permitted to do so.”
“I hope you have thought through the consequences of what you are embarking on.”
“Mr. President, we have had over two hundred years to give the rulers on the Potomac a chance but that time has expired. Effective immediately, all so-called Federal lands now belong to the nation of Idaho and we will dispose of these lands at our leisure. In the interest of burying the hatchet, we will not seek compensation for the seizure, abuse and tenure of Federal practices on the aforementioned land and call the balance even.”
“Those are my lands, Governor…”
“In actuality, they belong to neither of us, sir. On to other business, I have alerted my National Guard forces to establish checkpoints at all the main arterials in and out of Idaho. All National Guard forces deployed overseas will return home in the next 48 hours. I would also caution you on the use of military force to convince Idaho and its citizens to forcibly return to the yoke of the Union. Idaho has a well-deserved reputation as a rather well-equipped state in firearms possession and use. As Yamamoto said, you may find a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
“Are you threatening the president of the United States?”
“No, sir, I am simply making an observation about the hazards of one country invading another.”
“You are land-locked, Governor and wholly dependent on federal subsidy for a great deal of employment and infrastructure in Idaho.”
“No longer, the tremendous tax burden across the spectrum formally imposed in our nation as a subject State in your country is now effectively terminated and we are going to unleash the free market to address all of our former shortcomings as a result of the overarching government supremacism practiced here before. In telephone conversations with my neighboring governors, we are on the verge of Confederation negotiations that will pave the way for Idaho embassies in British Columbia, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. We do intend on opening a consular office in DC as soon as we can ensure the diplomatic baggage containing sufficient weapons assures our safety in the greater DC metropolitan area for our diplomatic personnel.”
“Governor, what Constitutional right do you have to secede from the US?”
“Mr. President, the behavior you have exhibited toward the Constitution has been at best characterized by active neglect and abhorrence for the restraint on governance in the Bill of Rights. I am rather surprised you would resort to assuming the document in any way has weight in Washington, DC. I would suggest my rights extend as far as our ability to throw off what has become a government of occupation instead of cooperation. We resign, sir and wish to go in peace.”
“I will use every measure in my arsenal to force you back into the fold.”
“Mr. President, thank you for the heads-up but we have taken certain precautions to ensure that any rash measures on your part have a disproportionate impact in the DC/Virginia corridor. Please don’t press us on the issue. I would like to offer one more rather moderate important proposal to our future business. These United States as administered by DC are now essentially bankrupt. War on the world, out of control spending and borrowing, debt and deficit, non-funded future liabilities in the tens of trillions and a banking infrastructure rotten at every level has pushed the US to an economic abyss from which it cannot shrink. We will provide you a demonstration project of tiny government, free banking and a formerly enslaved citizenry unleashed to realize their potential with no government interference. We simply wish to go our own way untethered from the Remora Nation DC came to symbolize.”
“Governor, this conversation is over.”
“Good day, Mr. President.”
