Re: 100% Impossible to Secede from the Union
The guy uses Colorado as an example. All trains and airplanes would stop because they are controlled by the govt. Colorado mainly uses coal so thy would be screwed without supplies coming in. Also the govt contolls satelite, radio tv and cellphone waves. Basically all communication would be shutdown. Then there is the currency issue. What currency would colorado use and if they decide to use their own would the other states accept it? Very interesting video for the secessiontards.

Also, any state that made a serious attempt to secede would probably get its seat of government nuked.

Re: 100% Impossible to Secede from the Union
So the Federal Government is like China, and the states are like Tibet.

Nuff Said.

Also....NOTHING is impossible. If the states learned to 'live off the grid' and get back to easier life.

Oh nooooz....what would dey do without they Satellite Iphone?

As for currency, you do REALIZE that in the beginning....before the tyrannical federal government came into existence, each state did QUITE WELL issuing their own GOLD BACKED currency?

I was impressed with this guy's investigation into the source of the Innocence Of Muslims fake trailer. Very impressed.
This video impacts me similarly.

Actually if Britain re claimed colonial control of freed states, DC couldn't do shit. The freed states would become free states in the royal commonwealth.

The govt would also sabatoge the states that seceded. They could send in patsies to contaminate the states water supplies and food supplies. The govt could send in troops to take over Colorado as well.

This was proven 150 years ago.

Just look at what Lincoln ordered Sherman to do in Georgia.

You seem to be forgetting the most important fact of all. The government only has power that we gave it. We can take that power away at any time. The government know this and uses fear to keep everyone in line. Throw away your cell phones, you don't have to have cable or satellite TV. The internet is not controlled by the government. If it was, you would not be on it. They just feed you a bunch of lies to scare you, and you eat every lying crumb of it.

Obama can give all of the EOs he wants, and he may actually believe that he has a right to them, but only if we allow it as a people. This world lived a long time before all of these little techno-toys, and we can live without them. Our lives are not dependent on government handouts. If we are, then we are all in some very serious trouble.

Re: 100% Impossible to Secede from the Union
if all 50 states seceded at once, it would effectively dissolve the government. then once that happens, the states could re-form under a new name (i.e. The New United states) at which time they would be a brand new country having ZERO debt. now whatcha think bout them apples?

Re: 100% Impossible to Secede from the Union
Incorrect. it is imossible to secceed from the corporation.

The Tenth Amendment gives the proviso for seccesion which has already been used by the southern states.

It's not like the Gubbermint runs programs to ship coal to states that don't have it. Powerplants that need coal BUY IT on the open market!

As for communication, if CO seceded, the Fed Gubbermint would NOT control its satelite, radio, tv, or cellphone waves!

As for currency, they could use any currency. They could use US dollars, or Mexican pesos, or print their own. There is nothing particularly special or life-sustaining about Federal Reserve Notes. We currently need them to pay federal taxes, but Colorodans needn't pay the IRS if they secede!

This guys is blatant disinfo shill.

While you are right on some levels, you perhaps confuse the concept of authority with the reality of power. Authority must be vested by those who agree to be ruled. Once granted, it comes with power, which always grows over time. The authority can be revoked any time. The power is a different story.

I am not confused with it. I understand it well. I also understand that there are those that would rather be a slave to handouts, then work for their own lives. That is where the real power lies. As long as you create fear you create power.

But once that fear is broken, and the truth is brought forth for all to see, then the old power brokers have no more power over the masses, and once again, the masses control the power.

Re: 100% Impossible to Secede from the Union
OP you might try a shave and a haircut to be a bit more believable. First off, you are a chickenshit for not wanting your views to be known to the government. It is that attitude that has gotten us into this friggin mess. Next point is....Texas can and has the military power to secede. Last point is...as in the 1850s and 60s, other states are trying to tell us how to live. The outcome this time will be very very different. Go ahead and smoke your dope and adore your movie star residents in CO and leave the rest of us alone.
