It’s never the crime that’s the big deal – it’s always the coverup that’s the biggest problem and it looks like Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch and former Commish Brian Gallagher are going to have a lot of explaining to do. 

Sidenote: and the “paper of record” in the Lakes Region, The Laconia Daily Sun, and the Salmon Press (with its weeklies scattered around the lake communities)?  Where have they been on all this?  They thought their puff pieces were sufficient as long as GMR kept buying those hefty sized ads in the Sun?

As you know, GraniteGrok was given access to the unredacted billings from the Devine-Millimet law firm as well as the preliminary report from PretiFlaherty law firm that the Code of Ethics that Kiedaisch was trying to foist on all the other Commissioners was null and void.

Being a Dillon’s Rule State, meaning that anything that a subdivision of the State wants to do MUST have a State Statute (NH RSA) authorizing/enabling that activity.  You know, the same Principle of Law I’ve been saying for the last two years about the Gilford School Board – show me the RSAs that allow you to nullify Freedom of Speech and lie to Parents.  For grins and giggles, find that report at the bottom of this post. It’s purpose, as many of these kinds docs are, are to show an “aspirational” face to the but are oft used by the politically nefarious to silence/muzzle/bench the “opposition” and make it harder to respond to bad things (or you’ll be accused of being uncollegial, selfish, out for themselves, not willing to “go along to get along” in addition to the other tropes that echos that old Beatles song “Under my thumb”.

However, the purpose of this post was to do another email demand of GAC related emails – those of Gary Kiedaisch.  It’s been clear that he decided that the GAC, and thus, Gunstock Mountain Resort, was going to be his plaything as if he was, yet again, the “Chair of the Board/CEO” of yet another entity, free do to what he wants. So I crafted yet another email Right To Know specifically tailored to him.

Why? I’ve been reading the past minutes of the GAC going back a few years.  I’ve now been to a few meetings of the GAC to observe him and his methodologies of action. I have listened to him go on about his background (quite a few times as he’s quite enamored with himself) to see how he sees himself in relation to others.  And now, in going through the unredacted billing records, seeing the racking up of tens of thousands of dollars going after anyone he sees is a threat to his Power,  his true petty (bordering on paranoia??) reveals itself (and yes, there are a few other observations that I’ll talk about in subsequent posts).

And he never thought he’d be found out.  Or Brian Gallagher, for that matter.

Sidenote: or maybe Brian did in finally realizing that his gig was up as he had turned into another “GAC seat squatter” like Rusty McLear when he sold his Belknap County home and didn’t resign immediate as he no longer fit the Commissioner requirement of being a “resident property owner in Belknap County”.

And Kiedaisch, unnecessarily, spent $600 of GMR money in what appears to a be a whining effort of “well, I HAVE to keep Brian on the GAC – I’m losing my Power Base!”

(click on it to embiggen)

OK, time to cut to the chase.  While I wrote the below BEFORE the special GAC Non-Public meeting (and handed out hardcopies to Commissioners Ness, Lambert, and Wood; Strang and Kiedaisch attended telephonically), after reading those billing records, it is going to be a pleasure to get his emails into my hands.  Most of the assertions I made above, I’m quite sure, will be substantiated.  It’s going to be quite a pleasure to read them.

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A:4 (I) ), I am demanding access, within 5 business days, to the below enumerated governmental records Otherwise, if this cannot be fulfilled within the mandated 5 business day window per RSA 91-A, please advise when the Responsive Records will be made available.

This requests any and all emails from any email accounts belonging to Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch during the time period of January 1, 2021 through to end of day, May 6, 2022:

• Individual outbound/inbound emails to or from Commissioner Kiedasich to any Gunstock Mountain Resort (“GMR”, or associated GMR entities) employees as part of his official/political duties (as being a politically appointed Commissioner is inherently a political post) concerning the operations/planning/expansion/politics of GMR.
• Individual outbound/inbound emails to or from Commissioner Kiedasich to any member of the Belknap County Delegation (i.e., the NH House Representatives representing Belknap County) as part of his official/political duties (as being a politically appointed Commissioner is inherently a political post) concerning how GMR may be affected by the NH House Bills or amendments to such bills.
• Individual outbound/inbound emails to or from Commissioner Kiedasich to any member of the NH State Senate as part of his official/political duties (as being a politically appointed Commissioner is inherently a political post) concerning how GMR may be affected by the NH Senate Bills or amendments to such bills.

This demand has been phrased in this fashion as he has made clear his specific rejection of the use of an official GunstockCommissioner.org account.

However, since he has, in the past, submitted such responsive requests from at least one personal email account, the precedent has been set for his compliance to such a Right To Know demand as this.

The information for each responsive record shall include:

• TO fields, FROM fields – all addresses
• CC fields, BCC fields – all addresses
• DATE fields
• SUBJECT field
• And the Body of the email itself.

Per RSA 91-A:4 IV(c) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, available for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.

As you are aware, in 2016, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that a governmental body in possession of records is required to produce them in electronic media using standard common file formats: Green v. SAU #55, 168 N.H. 796, 801 (2016). Unless there is some reason that it is not reasonably practicable for you to produce these records in the requested format, I ask that you either do so or explain why it is not practicable for you to comply.

Please also note, per RSA 91-A:4 III, III-a, and III-b, you are required to maintain the safety and accessibility of such responsive records. This also includes such responsive records (e.g., emails) which may have been deleted from respective Inboxes but are still available on the applicable email server or in your / email host backup system(s).

Please let me know when these records will be sent to me for inspection.

You may email the responsive records to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume turns out to be substantial, I have already set up a Dropbox folder for all of your responsive records to which they can be uploaded

Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Skip Murphy

And if he doesn’t, he sure will be willfully confirming the coverup, now, won’t he?  It’s what happens when hubris outweighs humbleness.

Either way, Belknap County residents will have a much better picture of who he really is (in addition to the pettiness already shown in the actions of unredacted billing records).

To Be Continued

The post Gunstock Area Commission – So Let’s See How Transparent Gary Kiedaisch Will Be about His Emails, Shall We? appeared first on Granite Grok.

This orchestrated assault on the United States Supreme Court by the White House and mainstream media has gone into Level 1 Fear Factor. Though the leak was a draft and not the final opinion, It appears the Left is acknowledging that the reversal of Roe V. Wade is inevitable.

The next step for them is to promote protesting, destruction, propaganda, and fear. Fear is a powerful emotion, and since Democrats operate on feelings rather than facts, fear is the right tool for hapless leaders to use on ignorant followers.

If, and that is a big IF, the Left had actually read the leaked document, they would know that the overturning of Roe does not outlaw abortion but takes it out of the Federal Arena and puts it back on the states. It also states that this opinion is narrowly focused on abortion and does not extend to other social topics. If this opinion is finalized, as in its draft state, a woman will still be able to abort her unborn child with restrictions based on the term of the pregnancy. There will be states with more significant restrictions than others, but that exists now.

Let’s dig into some of the words, actions, and inactions of the President, media, and various people on the Left.

1. The home addresses of the Conservative Justices have been published, and protestors have taken the liberty of infringing on the personal space of these jurists. These protests have been peaceful but instilled fear in the families and staff.
2. The President and Jen Psaki refuse to condemn the act of doxing the justices or protesting near their homes.
3. The White House will not condemn the leaker but states the info leaked was important enough to justify the action.
4. The President uses his new term MAGA Radicals to define Republicans and label them as misinformers. 
5. Hillary Clinton has gone to the media to claim that the rights of women, people of color, or people of alternative sexual orientation are all threatened by this out-of-control, power-hungry Supreme Court.
6. The mainstream media is in sync with every message emanating from the White House.

I cannot express how strongly I feel this entire situation is a choreographed performance by the White House and the Democrat Party. This has been done to salvage some seats and minimize the damage they know is coming in November because of the poor performance of the Biden administration and the resulting record-low favorability ratings. They have created an October Surprise in May, knowing how volatile the Abortion issue is to Americans. They have stimulated their supporters who have been disappointed in the President and opened up the money spigots. They are raising money at a record pace. 

The safety of the Justices has to be a concern of all Americans. And the laissez-faire approach by the White House is disturbing and troubling but shows the opportunity this leak has offered the Left is more important than the safety of five Conservative Justices. That is sad and makes you question the humanity of the President and the Left.

So … “Dr. Tom Sherman” posted this in response to Sun-King Sununu’s response to the leaking of a draft Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade:

What Dr. Tom is actually saying is that he believes there should be NO restrictions on abortion, ever … that he supports abortion right up until birth … indeed, he may even support “post-birth abortion.”

So … some questions for “Dr. Tom”:

I understand that the Democrat Party is the party of angry women and emasculated men. Is championing the killing of defenseless eight and nine-month-old unborn babies to help you feel less emasculated?

Why do you think killing defenseless unborn eight and nine-month-old babies is “brave”?

How broad is the principle underlying the right to an abortion? For example, does this right allow the government to censor what you would consider “misinformation” about abortion?

 

 

The post Some Questions About Roe v. Wade For “Dr. Tom Sherman” appeared first on Granite Grok.

When you know better, you just do, and failing to use that power is an injustice. It is your job to tell everyone else what everything is, or means, what they should do, and how to do it. Even what to say and not. And the more Democrats there are in your government, the more it thinks this way.

Vermont, conveniently to both my geographic and ideological left, is increasingly that. A place where freedoms are eroded by the abrasive politics of social justice and the mendacious gods of equity and inclusion.

Vermont is the East Coast’s California. Its liberals have that particular something—the urge to control everything not just because they should but because they can. And no object is too petty for pursuit.

 

The Vermont House gave preliminary approval on Thursday to a bill intended to ban racist and offensive school mascots, overriding objections that the legislation would erode school districts’ autonomy.

S.139 would direct the Vermont Agency of Education to create a state policy for school branding, including mascots, slogans, logos and sports teams, by August of this year.  … The bill directs the Agency of Education to create a process for people to file complaints to their local school board. School boards’ decisions could be appealed to the secretary of education, who would have the ultimate jurisdiction.

 

The bill directs the Vermont Department of Education to spend taxpayer dollars to tell taxpayers what is offensive. And like any proper despot, what is objectionable, obnoxious, obscene, or culturally odoriferous will be at their discretion and perfumed with the scent of more intrusive government – even if that offends you.

But policing “racist” school mascots will (inevitably) require additional staffing, resources, and room for mission creep.

They may even find that they need a department of the department to police the Department’s decisions on mascots and branding. Thought police to police the thought police. Don’t laugh. We have a Federal Ministry of Truth (still reeking of that New Department Smell) telling us there is no Ministry of truth.

Stringing words together that dare to question this is misinformation.

Vermont’s Ministry of Unoffensive Mascots (Slogans, Logos, or Team Names) is destined for a similar path. The false gods demand tribute, and its clerics will need something to do.

And if taxpayers find that offensive?

When you know better, you just do, and those who disagree or stand in the way of “progress” will find themselves on the wrong end of a swelling police-state mentality that can only end as an actual police state.

So, it’s not about mascots or team names at all. It is about the fundamental force behind the American Revolution. Leave us the hell alone; we’ll work it out ourselves. And opponents of the Ministry of Offensive Mascots make the same point. You are eroding local control. But they can’t stop, and they won’t. Failing to use abuse power is an injustice.

And they are destined to abuse it -deliberately or not – until only they have it.

 

S139 has already passed the Vermont State Senate.

 

The post Vermont Wants Department of Ed to Police School Mascots, Team Names, and Logos appeared first on Granite Grok.

Since the 60s, those that would break traditional American norms, traditions, and relationships have been at it, small issue by small issue for decades. And there are too many Conservatives/Republicans that want to get into the Culture War that the Left has brought to us -and not the other way around.  

In sixty years, if we on the Right are truthful with ourselves, we just let them do it.  No, to be clear, not everyone gave up – but not enough stood up and pushed back.  That would be NH State Rep Sue DeLemus:

On Thursday morning, a few hundred supporters of abortion rights gathered in front of the State House to press lawmakers to act. The peaceful protest clearly angered one anti-abortion lawmaker — Rep. Susan DeLemus, R-Rochester, who was seen castigating the pro-abortion activists on a video that went viral.

“Shame on you, shame on you. Shame on all of you. You are killing babies. You are murderers, you are murderers,” DeLemus said.

Pro-choice – a Leftist euphemism for the killing of babies.  Note the other ways that they deflect from reality – fetus, a bunch of tissue, MY choice, Body autonomy, man having no say, and of course the stupidest one of all – The Handmaid’s Tale (as if it would come true). My response is (outside of incest and rape which are extremely rare in comparison to other pregnancies) – a lack of taking responsibility for one’s actions.  I don’t care if it was “I wasn’t planning on this”, “it will ruin my plans”, “I didn’t think I’d get pregnant”, or “the contraceptives failed”.

I’ll say it over and over again: if you have decided to engage in a physical act that can result in a new baby (NOT a “fetus” or any other Latin term for that developing baby you want to throw out; is still a baby), who is the innocent one in all this?  And you want to kill that innocent being?  Just to make yourself feel better?  Just to make life easier? Just to protect your “lifestyle”?

Sue (I’ve known her for many years) was right and she was very right in putting it in blunt and plain language – when you abort a baby, you are murdering an innocent human.

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:

This week my committee heard our last two Senate bills, starting with SB 224, creating children’s environmental health day. Neither the sponsor nor any supporters showed up to testify in favor; we then proceeded to a non-germane amendment addressing reciprocity for electricians’ licenses. The constituent who still worked in Connecticut admitted that he actually had not applied for a license, but assumed he wouldn’t get one. Members of the board of electricians testified that Connecticut had very similar standards to New Hampshire and the exact same language regarding reciprocity. They thought he would be accepted by the board if he applied, because of his extensive experience, and at worst would need to take a test confirming his knowledge. After that hearing, we voted to kill SB 224 and not take up the amendment.

We also heard SB 450, a housekeeping bill on the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. AARP and others came out in favor of what they hoped the bill would do (lower drug costs for their members) not caring that the board was investigative and intended to clarify drug pricing for government purchases. We voted, 10-9, to send it to interim study with HB 1566, which also addresses this board.

We want to thank NH State Rep Carol McGuire for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

We discussed SB 330, amending it to include funding as a topic for the study committee, creating an OPLC oversight committee modeled on the existing HHS oversight committee, and deleting all references to the Boxing and Wrestling Commission. As amended, we recommended the bill 19-0. SB 357, mental health training for first responders, had the promised amendment to include dispatchers in the training, and a clear exemption for existing officers, and then passed unanimously.

SB 383, land surveying, had an amendment developed by the subcommittee, which clarified the non-resident licensing (and put it in the correct statute) and deleted the authority to investigate and punish non-licensed surveyors, which was not acceptable to the committee. It, too, passed unanimously. SB 277, on emergency and temporary licenses, had a subcommittee amendment as well – but some members objected to the exemption from continuing education. We revised the amendment and recommended it, again unanimously.

SB 282, on acupuncture licensing, had an updated amendment that addressed HB 1192, the similar bill we passed earlier. HB 1192 passed the Senate, so SB 282 only makes a few further language changes and a note that it passes after HB 1192. SB 358, eczema awareness month, was debated over my non-germane amendment to revise the administrative rules process. It passed, 14-5, with the opposition opposed to any changes to the process – since it’s working so well, of course!

SB 226, a recruitment program for state employees, was unanimously recommended to pass.

SB 397, which consisted of two interstate compacts, one on mental health counseling and the other on the placement of children, had an extensive debate. An amendment, based on the subcommittee work, deleted the placement compact (which was the 2009 revision to a 1960s vintage compact New Hampshire has been in for decades) and added some specific language about placement with parents, across state lines. (This was a result of some of the miscues in the Harmony Montgomery Your State House Page 1 of 2 April 29, 2022 case, and was an urgent priority for the governor and most of the committee on children and family, which worked on this with us.) The updated compact would not likely be finalized soon – it requires 35 states to adopt it before it’s effective, and only a dozen (? not sure – we got different numbers from different members, but it didn’t seem to matter since it was well below 35) or so have joined up so far. This amendment passed 10-9 (party line); a subsequent amendment to delete the mental health compact was debated and failed, 6-13. I supported the deletion since I have long considered compacts to be unconstitutional: they all declare that their rules have the force of law in all member states, but the New Hampshire constitution forbids any laws not voted on by the people or their elected representatives. An ought to pass motion with only the first amendment failed, 8-11. I decided to let this sit for a while and went on.

SB 382, requiring telehealth providers to have a New Hampshire license, had an extended debate. The supporters of the bill thought that it was implied by current law (in particular, the physician’s compact, which defines that treatment takes place at the location of the patient, not the doctor.) The opponents wanted people to be able to see any provider they wanted, wherever the provider was, and thought that many would not want to bother getting an NH license. I could see both sides, but realized that this only mattered if there were a problem: a happy patient would never care! A motion to kill the bill failed, 9-10; after more debate, we voted to pass it, 13-6. I had supported killing the bill (it seemed everything was OK at present) but voted to pass it so that the law was clear as to what state’s laws applied to telehealth operations.

SB 274, prohibiting project labor agreements, was killed, 12-7, with three Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition. After a break, we unanimously reconsidered our last motion on SB 397, ought to pass with only the mental health compact. The second vote came out 16-3, with the Democrats realizing the children’s compact was never going to pass the committee, and getting the mental health compact was a higher priority.

The redistricting committee met on SB 200, which is now the congressional district map. The minority presented their previous map (current districts with Hampton switched from CD1 to CD2.) This was criticized as splitting economic communities and counties, and even as not being the “least changed” as they could have moved a few towns in the North Country and resulted in a lesser deviation between the districts. It failed, 7-8. The Republican mapmaker presented a new map, concentrating CD1 in the I-93 corridor, which had several advantages: population deviation of 5 people, only two counties split, and all economic communities kept together (except ones already split by county lines.) The political competitiveness was excellent, as in 2020 the Republicans would have won by 50.5%. Can’t get much tighter than that! The Democrats criticized it as moving too many communities from one district to another, and not being “competitive.” After some discussion, this map passed, 8-7 (all votes in this committee are on party lines.)

The post NH State Rep Carol McGuire – Your State House 04/29/22: Senate Bills Keep Grinding Away appeared first on Granite Grok.

In my recent essay Things Fall Apart… I commented about how the very fundamentals of our nation (US) and Western Civilization seem to be developing fractures that will lead to the whole thing falling down.

The goal is clear, IMHO: total global collapse and depopulation.  Just look at Tucker Carlson’s take on what’s happening in America today.

 

 

After all, paradise must be built.  The foundation must be laid.  No matter the human cost of prior attempts.  No matter the cost now.

 

 

 

This is why I truly believe we are in a religious war.  No sane person, IMHO, could ignore the enormous toll prior attempts at world communism have taken, and still double-down trying it again unless this were their FAITH.

 

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

You may not easily believe this based on my doom and gloom essays of late, but generally I’m a very happy and optimistic person.  Yes, I’m cautious and do tend to err on the side of caution and safety – Engineer! – but overall I always look for and see the silver linings in even the darkest clouds.  And I delight in the small moments when I feel Hashem’s presence.  Take yesterday morning: taking my wife’s travel cup of tea, lunch, and laptop to her car while she was getting dressed for work I stepped outside to a cool & crisp morning and took utter delight in the sun rising, dew glistening on the grass, my kids’ trees standing tall waking up after the winter, and a rooster crowing in the distance.  A marvelous moment worthy of pure joy in His kindness having my see that.

Yet I feel, in the pit of my stomach, that I’m watching the Gates of Hell starting to crack open prior to the loosing of all it’s infernal fury:

USA / NATO gearing up for counterattack against Russian forces in July or August, with high risk of escalated retaliatory strikes by Russia using EMP or nuclear weapons – DC Clothesline

And this kind of talk?  Openly discussing nuclear attacks?

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/sarmat-talk.mp4

 

And if this isn’t casus belli (if true; I’ve heard disputations of this) I’m not sure what is:

U.S. intel helped Ukraine sink Russian flagship Moskva, officials say (nbcnews.com)

Let alone having Ukraine field-test our new weapons against Russia, emptying our own weapons stores to supply them.  And don’t get me started on draining our strategic petroleum reserve.  Or this: US Targeting Russian Generals.

 

WWI?  BLUNDER.  WWIII?  INTENTIONAL.

As I’ve written before, IMHO WWI was stumbled into.  Not so now.  There are serious people bent on massive depopulation, see here and here.  They want a global massacre.  Whether from disease, The Jab, war, engineered food shortages, whatever, the stage is being set for a calamity on a scale humanity has not seen before.  Well, at least since about 70,000 B.C (links in the original):

[O]nce in our history, the world-wide population of human beings skidded so sharply we were down to roughly a thousand reproductive adults. One study says we hit as low as 40 [breeding pairs].

On my old blog I had an essay about the Climate Cultists who truly believe that humanity’s emissions of CO2 is a threat to all life on earth.  Let me repeat that.  People believe that CO2, a gas essential for plant metabolism and life, is a biosphere-level threat whose emissions must be stopped and that gas actively removed from the atmosphere.

 

(Buy the mug!)

 

Now, as I wrote in that essay, ask yourself this question and seriously think about the answer:

Imagine you truly believed – believed to the pit of your soul – that humanity’s massive presence on earth was a threat to all life on earth (I’m not disputing that mankind isn’t being destructive).  Let me repeat: you absolutely believe the current human population on earth is a threat to ALL. LIFE. ON. EARTH.  All of it.  From whales to dragonflies to orchids, even to this hideous creature.

 

 

If you truly believed this, what would you NOT DO to prevent the end of all life?  Certainly you’d work, with every fiber of your being, to ameliorate that threat.  Right?  And what’s the simplest solution to that?  Not “green energy” but reducing the world’s population.  Drastically.  And quickly.

WWIII would certainly do that.

 

SCREAMING FROM MY SOUL

In an excellent book The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes – and Why there is one scene – and I’m going from memory so please forgive any deviations from the actual account – that perfectly captures fatal-level denial.  There was a flight going to Miami from, IIRC, New York and the plane crashed.  The flight crew worked quickly to get the passengers out even as flames were spreading through the whole cabin.  But one man, reading his newspaper, refused to leave.  Pleading with him the stewardess tried to get him to move, stating that the plane had crashed and was on fire.  The man, reading his paper, replied that it was all nonsense.  The plane was fine and he looked forward to arriving in Miami in a few hours.  She abandoned him to save herself and he burned alive rather than admit his reality was now a threat.

 

(Link to AZ Quotes per their policy)

 

I feel the same thing watching so many persons in my life now.  My accountant who has long term plans for my money – bless him – but cannot fathom anything truly dark coming; he’s done an excellent job with my money but I fear his inability to see what’s coming is now a threat to my largest financial holding (if Wall Street gets flash-fried – like these shrimp (cute video from Japan) – there goes all my money).  My wife, whose family suffered during the break-up of the USSR and whose people were murdered by Stalin in a parallel starvation to the Holodomor (one out of every three ethnic Kazakhs died), denies the need for preps and having firearms and laments the money I’ve “wasted” in purchasing them – ironically she went rifling through the stockpile trying to find raisins and cashews for her snacks and was disappointed that we didn’t have raisins available on hand… dissonance anyone?  My sister who still prods me to get The Jab despite our all having had Covid and, thus, already have the gold-standard of immunity.  My Holocaust-era cousin who, notwithstanding my pleas for her to put even a couple of weeks of food and water aside, states that “That can’t happen in America” and that she can always pop by the store if she needs anything.  My high school best friend, still a close friend, who thinks that maybe he should get a crossbow to threaten people who come to his doorstep if society collapses.  A f*cking crossbow.   Against a mob on his doorstep in a SHTF situation.

And on.  And on.  And on.

War drums beating with people – seemingly – eager to push-push-push America and Russia into direct confrontation.  Step by step brinkmanship.  Even with no intent on the part of the leadership (certainly I don’t think Putin wants a nuclear war, I’m not so sure about President Potato the real powers), I tremble thinking that a careless slip or misinterpretation of an action could be the spark, let alone a deliberate false flag event; remember that multiple US pols have said we would have to “respond in kind” if WMDs are used in Ukraine.  We have massive heat, we have an abundance of (figurative) fuel and oxygen… all that’s needed is ignition.  Accidental or intentional, the end result will be the same.

IN CLOSING, A PROVERB

Someone sent me this proverb (purportedly from Africa).  It’s accurate.

When elephants fight, ants get crushed.

Prep.  Plan.  Pray.  And find your inner steel.  I very much fear you will need it, soon.  For the elephants are being herded into the arena for combat…

 

 

Hashem help us all.  And let us pray that if their plans come to fruition, there are enough people of our mindset to rebuild.  Give me Independence Hall 1776 (formatting edited from the original):

Just as the Rabbi said [to the Roman army commander] “Just give me Yavne” to save Judaism in the face of the inevitable & unstoppable Roman conquest, I say Just give me Independence Hall 1776 to save America and, more broadly, the West.  Give me people filled with the brushfire of liberty in their minds and a burning heart yearning for freedom, putting the Individual above The State, and all tempered with morality and responsibility.

And while I’ll still weep, and while I’ll still fight hoping to avert the collapse, I know that with people like this we will preserve the seed corn of liberty, and rebuild.

Really elitist of you, NH State Senator Bob Guida (deigns to not wanting to speak with mere Representatives), NH Representative Tim Lang (aspirations of replacing Guida bankrolled by Kiedaisch/McLear/Belknap County Landscaping founder Hayden McLaughlin monies?), and Gunstock Area Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch (who has repeatedly that only people like him and his commercial/professional accomplishments should be on the Commission).  Just an ordinary guy without money and connections?

Donteventhinkaboutit!

You’ll see in the video that Kiedaisch, calling in from California, refuses to make his intentions rather public and abstains from the resolution that outlines that the Gunstock Area Commission, by a vote of 4-0-1 are against the amended HB1397 that was turned from a simple bill to extend Rockingham County elected terms from 2 to 4 years to one that totally turns upside down how the Gunstock Area Commission.

You’ll also hear how hard Kiedaisch worked against Lambert’s insistence on adding a couple of late additions to the agenda – until Lambert read him the same part of the ByLaws that I have heard Kiedaisch use for his own agenda:

So, here is that “pre-Non-Public Meeting” Public Meeting:

And I walked out and sat in the car waiting for the non-public meeting to end.  And it finally did and they went back into Public Meeting:

I have to apologize for this last one – the DJI OM 5 gimbal swapped position (it said that the phone was unbalanced) from landscape to portrait but the camera recording stayed landscape.  I’m also looking into enhancing the audio acquisition for the next time that I think that a con-call speaker will be used and I will be several feet away from it.

The released records!  One of the bones of contentions in this “GAC situation that could happen in your town, too”) was the release of the redacted billing records that that it seems (quick glance – further research is greatly needed) that Commissioners Gallagher (former, in Gallagher) and Kiedaisch seemed to use as their personal lawyers to further, not the GAC’s needs but their own political agendas.

State Rep Mike Sylvia Committing Civil Disobedience in 2014

State representative Mike Sylvia of Belmont – the main sponsor of CACR 32, the historic NH Exit constitutional amendment – has spoken out via his blog on the subject of New Hampshire Independence. Written just days prior to the full house vote, Sylvia’s excellent piece is titled, “Sovereign State Or Branch Office of D.C. Inc.”  In it, he demolishes the arguments against secession.  You can read it here on his blog, but I have also pasted the text below to ensure it is not taken down if his site goes away at some point:

Sovereign State Or Branch Office of D.C. Inc.

In 1784 the people of New Hampshire formed a government, founded upon the sovereignty of the people. The people shared with that government a limited portion of their own sovereignty which was detailed in Part II of the New Hampshire constitution. Notably, the people retained to themselves rights which could not be infringed upon nor delegated to others. This is known as our New Hampshire Bill of Rights which make up Part I of our constitution.

The people of New Hampshire declared our State to be forever a sovereign state.

[Art.] 7. [State Sovereignty.] The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled.

In 1787 the Constitution for the United States was created. In 1791 the Bill of Rights was amended to the constitution. This included the 9th amendment;

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

And the 10th;

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Note how well those amendments fit with the preexisting NH Constitution Part I, Article 7, [State Sovereignty.] The people of this state have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled.

In the majority report recommending that CACR32 be inexpedient to legislate three ill-conceived reasons are relied upon.

First, “Nowhere in our US Constitution does it allow the federal government to permit any state to secede.” If one reads and understands the 10th amendment to the US Constitution, one can clearly see that lacking the explicit delegation of the power to prevent secession means that secession is retained to the states or the people. The majority report is self-defeating and lacks any logic.

Second, the majority claims that the ‘perpetual union’ was then ‘perfected’ under the US Constitution therefore it must continue for eternity. An honest look at the historical facts will reveal that we no longer hold to the Articles of Confederation; clearly that union was not perpetual. In fact, one can consider the formation of a new government under the US Constitution to have been an act of revolution.

Lastly, the Civil War settled the question. This argument is the very simple and brutal ‘might makes right.’ This is a bit odd when balanced with the concept of a contract between states. If force is that which holds the union together then there is no state sovereignty. If sovereignty is held by D.C. Inc. one might be forced to consider whence that sovereignty came.

It is quite sad but predictable that a committee named State Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs would be so subservient to the powers of the National government which regards its founding document with such little concern.

With such weak arguements against the proposed amendment to our constitution, the author of the majority report felt the need to move beyond reporting on the bill into the realm of questioning the character of the sponsors. He demands that D.C. Inc. punish those whom question authoritarian rule from the swamp. He even goes as far as threatening those whom might dare to vote for such a proposal.

Still straying from the content of the amendment the writer implies that the General Court should punish those whom follow the State constitution and view the State as the sovereign state that it is.

Insecure in his failed reasoning, he resorts to threatening charges of rebellion for those whom might dare vote to send a constitutional amendment to the people of the state. He further implies that the NH House remove voting rights for presumed rebellion.

REBELLION: Deliberate, organized resistance, by force and arms, to the laws or operations of the government, committed by a subject.

I’m almost disappointed that he didn’t whip out the big one:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Let me end with one more jewel from our Bill of Rights:

[Art.] 30. [Freedom of Speech.] The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate, in either house of the legislature, is so essential to the rights of the people, that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, or prosecution, in any other court or place whatsoever.

The authors of our founding documents knew tyranny all too well, if we open our eyes today, we can see it coming back around.

Open your eyes.

(The “Majority Report” from committee member Brodie Deshaies appears below:)

CACR 32, relating to independence. Providing that the state peaceably declares independence from the United States and proceeds as a sovereign nation. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE.
Rep. Brodie Deshaies for State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs. The committee believes that articles of secession are unconstitutional and therefore impossible. Any attempt to make NH a “sovereign nation” only purports to do so and is illegitimate. There are three main arguments the committee heard. The first legal argument why states cannot secede from the union is reasonably understandable. The federal government is the only legitimate power to admit new states and to extend or retract territorial boundaries. Nowhere in our US Constitution does it allow the federal government to permit any state to secede, let alone for any state to decide unilaterally. Our constitution is quite clear on this issue (see Article IV, Section 3). No state constitution has ever suggested that states hold this power. Constitutions are implicit contracts with citizens that grant governments specific powers. With no power explicitly given allowing secession, no state can ever secede. Another argument lies in the US Supreme Court decision in Texas v. White (1869). In the court’s majority decision, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase explained that the union began during the Revolutionary War amongst the colonies. In his decision, he writes, the union “was confirmed and strengthened… and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation… [and] by these, the Union was solemnly declared to be perpetual.” Justice Chase then says that our current Constitution was “ordained to form a more perfect Union,” which intended to convey the idea of indissoluble unity….” Therefore, the union can never be dissolved. Our form of government and Constitution is predicated upon the union’s “perpetual” existence. Without this “perpetual” existence, we would be throwing away the union, and with it, the US Constitution. The last constitutional argument is straightforward. It does not matter whether or not secession is illegal. What matters is that the union beat the confederacy in the Civil War. Once this happened, the illegality of unilateral secession was de facto established. The legality of secession was answered at Appomattox Court House in 1865 with the conclusion of the Civil War. It also means the repercussions for attempting unilateral secession have been decided too. The federal government must punish states and their leaders who try to secede. Which leads us to another question: can state leaders introduce or vote for articles of secession? This is currently an open question and the NH General Court would decide the answer. Nonetheless, the 14th Amendment, Article III, is very clear: “No State Legislator shall engage in rebellion against the Constitution.” Voting for NH’s proposed articles of secession could be determined by the NH House as rebellion against the US Constitution. It could be casting a vote to rebel against the union and, therefore, the same constitution establishing the perpetual union. Voting for CACR32 is not voting for a referendum. NH does not have referendum. We encourage fellow lawmakers to reject NH’s articles of secession and protect constitutional government. Not only is CACR32 logistically and constitutionally impossible, but NH’s articles of secession may require enforcement of the 14th Amendment by the NH House.

It was a historic day as New Hampshire was the first state since the “Civil War” to have a house floor discussion about secession.  As reported on this blog previously, CACR 32 – the constitutional amendment that would have allowed NH voters to decide the question of declaring peaceful independence from the United States – was voted down 323-13 on Thursday.  Now you can watch video of the full discussion from the floor of Rep’s Hall:

Don’t miss this post at Free Keene which gathers together seventeen hysterical posts from SHOCKED democrats in response to the heroic thirteen state reps who voted to try to stop CACR 32 from being killed.

We’re just getting started promoting independence for New Hampshire. CACR 32 was just the beginning to get the conversation going. Stay tuned here to NHexit.US for more. Meanwhile, be sure to sign the petition and join the community via the links in the top menu and help us do even more!

Cowardly State Reps Return to Reps Hall

Today was the big day, the first time ever that a bill relating to New Hampshire independence was heard by the full state house.  With over 330 of 400 reps in attendance, the historic proposed constitutional amendment was sadly shot down 323-13.  We didn’t expect to win the first time out, of course.  The point of CACR 32 was to get the conversation started.

No thanks however to multiple so-called “liberty reps” who put fear-based political concerns over principle and refused to back up the brave reps who sponsored this bill.  I was there greeting the reps this morning as they entered Reps’ Hall and I heard various excuses.  Free Stater rep Jess Edwards said it shouldn’t go to voters unless reps support the idea, and he doesn’t.  This is literally the same thing some of the democrats told me as they were entering the chamber, expressing that they were against democracy as they see themselves as “gatekeepers”.  One Democrat, rep Tim Egan, even admitted in an email to me, “legislators can absolutely not trust voters with this decision”.  The state reps don’t trust you to decide, whether they be Republican or Democrat.

Representative Tom Ploszaj used the excuse that no one from his constituency had reached out to him in support of CACR 32.  Of course the bill got very little attention in the media, so it’s likely few people were even aware of it.  Ploszaj and other “liberty reps” seem very concerned with what voters would think if they voted in support of CACR 32.  Ploszaj said in an email, “My personal opinion and stance on the CACR is irreverent [SIC] since I was elected to represent my district and uphold the Constitutions not to make decisions based on my own agendas.”  This is a strange statement as we all know that no one can truly “represent” a diverse group of people.  If Ploszaj ran a campaign and was honest about supporting liberty, then that is presumably why he was elected, not to do anything a handful of people who call him up suggest.  If a few people called Ploszaj to request he sponsor some Communist legislation, I suspect he would say no, even though some constituents wanted it.

Jason Osborne, Free Stater and the current House Majority Leader said that he supports California seceding, but doesn’t think the people of New Hampshire want independence.  He told me instead NH should lead the way for America.  Another Free Stater, five-term rep Brian Seaworth expressed that he didn’t want to support the bill because he didn’t think it would pass and he felt that voting for it would put him in jeopardy of losing the next election.  Melissa Blasek, state rep and executive director of Rebuild NH said that while she likes the idea, she’s worried the democrats will use it against her in her reelection campaign.

I guess we’ll see if the thirteen heroes who voted for this bill will be defeated in their re-election attempts later this year.  What if they are re-elected?  Will the “liberty reps” who refused to stand on principle develop a spine?  Don’t get your hopes up.

Perhaps they’ll be prosecuted for treason or rebellion as statist rep Brodie Deshaies suggested in his attempts to intimidate the reps into opposing CACR 32.  I’d bet against any reps being prosecuted.  Despite the claims to the contrary, this was an attempt at peaceful secession.  No violence was ever suggested.  Secession is legal and constitutional, as rep Matt Santonastaso explained in his speech on the house floor today.  Article one, section ten of the US Constitution outlines the specific things that states are not allowed to do.  Leaving is not one of those prohibited things.  In fact, secession isn’t talked about at all in the US Constitution.  Therefore, it’s a right left to the states under the tenth amendment of the Bill of Rights.  We CAN do this.  Some state is going to be first to go.  Whether it’s Texas, California, New Hampshire, or elsewhere, the only question is when.

 

NHexit.US

The next big step for the NH Exit constitutional amendment, CACR 32, is this Thursday March 10th, when it will come to the full state house for a vote. Supporters of New Hampshire independence should immediately call or email their state representatives and ask them to support CACR 32. Please remind them that voting on CACR 32 is NOT a vote on state secession. Their vote is on whether or not to put the question on the ballot for the people to decide.

Many reps are confused and believe that if they vote to pass CACR 32 that they are supporting independence for NH and that is not true. Voting to kill CACR 32 means they are anti-democratic and do not want to allow the people of New Hampshire to vote on the matter.  Please be kind to the confused reps and try to help them understand rather than getting upset.

Here’s a handy tool you can use to discover your local state reps and get their contact information. While you can contact more than just your area’s reps, reps outside your area may not consider your comments as seriously as your local reps. So, if your time is limited, keep your state rep outreach to your area’s reps only.

Second, if you have free time this Thursday March 10th, please show up at the state house in Concord at 107 N Main St for their full house session where CACR 32 will be heard. We do not know the exact time CACR 32 will come up, but it is expected to happen at some point. The session begins at 9am but some NH Independence activists will be arriving much earlier, some as early as 7:30am, for a rally outside the state house. Feel free to bring signs or shirts promoting independence for New Hampshire. Be sure to also connect with our chat rooms on Matrix or Telegram to help coordinate. Both chat rooms are linked together, so if you join one, you needn’t join the other.

Earlier this winter, the committee hearing the bill voted it “Inexpedient to Legislate” 21-0, however there are 400 state reps in New Hampshire and because it’s a constitutional amendment any vote of the full house must be a “roll call” vote. Roll call means that each representative’s vote is recorded so we know how each state rep voted. We need to be present on Thursday to show them there is support for CACR 32 and that we are watching to see how they vote. See you Thursday morning at the state house in Concord!

Over the past few weeks, a group of pro-freedom activists in New Hampshire has been holding informal meetings to brainstorm how to best promote independence in the next legislative session. Predictably, progressive authoritarians have already begun to attack the concepts of independence and liberty. A few conservatives cling to hope that they can fix DC and all 50 states, convince all Democrats to embrace conservative liberty values, and ‘save America’. 

 

I have written dozens of articles, published three books, and produced hundreds of videos making the case for a national divorce from the authoritarians. Here are just 100 reasons why every New Hampshire citizen who supports freedom should support a bill and a ballot referendum on independence from DC. 

 

1. Without the federal income tax, we’d each save around $25,000/year right off the bat.
2. The IRS is corrupt, tyrannical, and about to grow by 80,000 employees and billions of dollars. Years ago, they were caught targeting conservatives. Now, they are surely much more polarized and hateful against us. I could live without them.
3. The ATF is extremely anti-gun. They have been one of the biggest reasons that federal gun control laws have grown increasingly strict. The ATF passes laws and bypasses Congress. Once the murderous criminal, Dave Chipman is confirmed as the new ATF director, things will get much worse. I could live without the ATF. Once we divorce DC by declaring independence from the union, the ATF will no longer have jurisdiction over us. 
4. The CDC is out of control, and the agency will only ever grow more tyrannical. This was before corona-fascism made the CDC into the most harmful agency to liberty of all 400 illegal executive agencies. By the way, did you know that the CDC took legal ownership over every rental property in the united states?
5. I don’t trust Joe Biden to run my life or to do anything that could impact me. I have around 28 trillion reasons for distrusting that corrupt, evil, demented sociopath. 
6. I don’t trust Congress to run my life. They have proven time and again that they support authoritarian socialism. Even with majorities in the House and the Senate and even with Trump in the White House, Congress did nearly nothing to expand liberty. But they did pass many laws that violated my natural rights. 
7. The federal government benefits from terribly untrustworthy elections, such as the one in 2020. Once HR1 passes into law, all elections in the united states will be required to abide by the same insane rules that caused us all to doubt the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
8. Once HR51 passes into law, DC will be a state, complete with two more hardcore socialist Senators. The Democrats will control the Senate forever.
9. If you aren’t a big fan of sobriety checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
10. If you aren’t a big fan of immigration checkpoints, you’ll be happy to learn that they are federally funded and/or conducted. Once we divorce the feds, it’s unlikely that any local police dept. will spend the money on the checkpoints. 
11.  Local cops only use tanks, drones, BEARcats, and other aggressive military gear against us because the feds give them those toys. Once we cut ties with DC, our local cops will return to their proper role as peace officers instead of acting as soldiers against us.
12. One of the reasons that Dictator Sununu locked us down and derailed our economy involved pressure and money from DC encouraging him to do so. 
13. If you don’t like being forced to pay for the DC politicians to wage futile endless wars in dozens of countries all over the world while veterans, women, and babies in our own communities starve on the streets, it means you want to separate from DC. 
14. If you are ready to give up on the war on drugs and stop sending cops to homes to punish people for consuming a plant, separating from DC is the first step you must take. DC politicians STILL consider cannabis a schedule one top-tier dangerous substance that is 100% illegal to possess. 
15. Do you love it when cops steal your property (car, house, money, guns, etc.) without convicting you of a crime? Well, federal law allows law enforcement to seize any property that could be involved in a past, present, or even future crime. And the feds have ‘extended’ that authority to state and local cops. Once we sever ties with DC, cops in NH lose the power of civil asset forfeiture.
16. If you ever wondered why bad cops almost never receive any punishment, you should know that ‘qualified immunity’ is a federal doctrine. Without DC, local cops become much more accountable to their neighbors.
17. The millions of federal regulations cost businesses over 2 trillion dollars each year in lost productivity. Once we divorce DC, our businesses will truly be able to unleash their creativity, making New Hampshire more prosperous than we could ever imagine.
18. Who should decide whether NH accepts illegal aliens or Afghan refugees? Biden and Pelosi or our governor and legislature?
19. Are you tired of being ruled by nine lawyers in long black robes who live in DC and have the power of Gods? If five out of the nine rule a certain way, that becomes the law for all 330,000,000 people in the united states.  
20. The federal reserve and DC politicians have overseen a decline in 99% of the US dollar’s purchasing power over the past century.
21. DC politicians have run up a debt of 28 trillion dollars and counting. And they claim that you and I are responsible for it. 
22. Nearly every politician has ambitions and eventually wishes to be sent to DC. This affects nearly every decision they make. Once DC is no longer in their minds, they will focus on what is most important: you.
23. Federal law enforcement (including the FBI) have shown themselves to be thoroughly corrupt. Even conservative commentators like Dan Bongino have called for their abolition. A few months ago, the FBI and other federal cops came to New Hampshire and violently kidnapped six of my friends. They are charging them with crimes that could result in them spending the remainder of their lives in federal prison. Their excuse? That my friends committed some victimless crimes by using and selling cryptocurrency. Once we leave DC, that will never happen again. 
24. Want a suppressor so that you can save your hearing? They are only illegal because the feds prohibit them. Without the feds, NH would be totally free, and you could put a suppressor on your SBR without any worries. 
25. Are you worried about increasingly strict EPA restrictions on vehicles, houses, and everything else? Once we divorce DC, they will have no jurisdiction over us.
26. Are you sick of random federal judges issuing injunctions that overrule actual laws passed by Congress or state legislatures? An independent NH would not have to worry one bit about federal judges.
27. The DC politicians are destroying the once-mighty American military. Their current secretary of defense and commander-in-chief continually insist that the #1 priority for their military is pleasing LGBT individuals. An independent New Hampshire could have a military with a top priority of defending us against hostile militaries. As it should be.
28. Have you accumulated a respectable net worth? Soon, the federal government will tax your net worth each year in addition to all of the other taxes. 
29. The US Congress literally does not represent you or me.
30. The federal government hates you. Especially if you are white. 
31. Multiple federal court rulings have declared that the first amendment does not protect any speech that is insulting, especially towards a government agent. 
32. Right now, even policies that you think are set by state lawmakers are really controlled by the feds via extortion. 
33. If the thought of Pelosi’s Capitol Police Force growing worries you …. You might support NH independence from DC. 
34. If you would rather have your highway taxes spent on highways … You might be a NHexiter.
35. Do you think that Facebook and Twitter are too powerful and too damaging to liberty? Federal law grants them effective immunity from lawsuits while also granting them the power to manipulate content. They get to act as both a publisher and a platform, whichever suits them at the moment. 
36. If you support sound, free-market money like gold and silver (and crypto) ….You already support NHexit. It’s only a matter of time before the feds ban them.
37. If you are afraid that Donald Trump might become President again …. You just might be a NHexiter.
38. If you are afraid that Kamala Harris might become President…. You just might be a NHexiter.
39. If you think that Title IX is a major reason that free speech and due process in colleges were destroyed, you support NHexit.
40. If you believe that boys should not have a free pass to the girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, you support NH independence. 
41. If you can’t count the billions of federal laws….you might support independence.
42. The FDA hurts and kills patients by stifling innovation and preventing people from using medications until the FDA spends decades of time and billions of dollars approving them.
43. Cutting ties with DC would immediately and drastically cut prices and improve the availability of drugs like epinephrine, insulin, loperamide, and many others. 
44. DC politicians use the federal department of education to brainwash your children to hate freedom. Once we are independent, that goes away.
45. The federal government believes that showing online ads to specific cohorts is a crime.
46. If you are not comfortable with the REAL ID becoming a dystopian federal identification card, you might be an NHexit supporter.  
47. Support in Congress for a magazine ban is getting very close to a majority. In a few years, your magazines will be federally illegal. 
48. Once HR127 passes Congress, every firearm will be effectively illegal. Hope you’re ready to turn in your guns to the feds! You are a patriot and not a criminal, so you’d never violate federal law, right? 
49. It is very likely that Congress (or federal regulators) ban armor plates for all civilians very soon. Hope you’re ready to turn in your plates!
50. Even the best ‘conservatives’ in DC are working with Bloomberg to take away your guns.
51. Technically speaking…the federal government should not exist anymore. 
52. Federal judges have ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. 
53. The federal government thinks it can take your property by force, as long as it plans to use the property for anything that could benefit the government, including giving your property to companies like Pfizer. Without DC, states and localities have no power of eminent domain (AKA theft of property).
54. Federal politicians from Biden to McConnell and everyone in between consistently sell us out to oligarchs like Putin and Xi to enrich themselves. 
55. We can’t take power back from Congress, even with a Convention of States.
56. The DC politicians incentivize single motherhood and discourage employment. 
57. If you don’t believe that global warming is the biggest threat to our lives, you should not be in the same union as DC, the federal government, and the other states. 
58. If you don’t appreciate being spied on by the NSA and other creepy DC agents and politicians, you should consider divorcing them. 
59. If you don’t want to support the Taliban by providing them with money and military weapons and helicopters, you should leave the union and stop paying federal taxes. 
60. The federal government considers people guilty until proven innocent – the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Peaceful protesters have been receiving punishments in prison for months despite never being convicted. If you support due process, you support NHexit.
61. The federal TSA regularly violates our natural rights, despite literally missing 95% of actual threats. 
62. DC politicians maintain a horrifically managed ‘no-fly list’, which mistakenly puts many people (including babies) onto the list, preventing them from flying. It’s also nearly impossible to get off of the list. 
63. Conservatives from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh have spoken in support of state independence from DC. 
64. Federal government leaders believe that if you don’t wear all the masks they recommend and if you don’t get all of the vaccines they recommend, you are just like the Taliban suicide bombers. 
65. DC politicians prohibit beneficial pipelines that would have been amazing for our national security and economy while simultaneously supporting pipelines for nations that are hostile to us. 
66. Who is arming the violent Mexican drug cartels? Federal agents from DC!
67. The federal government has kidnapped innocent Japanese people and put them in concentration camps. New Hampshire has never done that. And they couldn’t ever do that. Because we all have lots of guns. 
68. The US government banned firearms and ammunition from Russia. New Hampshire would never do that.
69. The US government puts many kids in cages at the border. New Hampshire would handle immigration in a much more sensible and humane way. 
70. Things will literally never change for the better. Even with Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress and the SCOTUS, freedom only diminished and tyranny continued to grow.
71. New Hampshire citizens are the hardest workers and earn the most money, which is demonstrated by our continent-leading median household income. We don’t need DC politicians to be wealthy.
72. New Hampshire is the freest state. Nearly all of our issues are caused by federal laws. Once we are independent, we will be almost 100% free to live as we please!
73. New Hampshire is the safest state. We don’t need DC or other states bringing violence to our peaceful paradise. 
74. Half of the people in the united states believe that Biden was legitimately elected and that Republicans are all traitors, while the other half believes that Biden lost the election and progressives are traitors. How could one country be united if its people hate each other so much? 
75. The DC politicians now feel so entitled to infinite power that they essentially ban medications that could help treat COVID, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. 
76. DC politicians are so arrogant that they no longer feel the need to pass legislation in Congress; they now use executive orders to pass new laws, including the most recent one forcing all private companies in the united states with over 100 employees to vaccinate their employees or test them for COVID weekly. This will affect 80 million employees. If you don’t want DC sociopaths coming between you and your employer (or you and your doctor), you support independence. 
77. When conservative states began having success treating COVID with monoclonal antibodies Biden and DC politicians began to BLOCK the life-saving treatments from getting to pro-freedom anti-Biden states like Alabama and Florida, potentially causing people to die.
78. DC politicians have made it clear that they will continue to prioritize foreign nationals and illegal immigrants over American citizens like you and me.
79. On the other hand, DC politicians have made it very clear that Cuban immigrants are not welcome here (because they tend to vote for freedom and against communism). 
80. The Biden IRS is now going to monitor every bank account with over $600 in it so that they can tax all people who make any money in any way. Those who receive more than $600 in PayPal transactions in a year will also be subject to taxation, according to experts. Peaceful separation solves this IRS issue because the IRS would no longer have any jurisdiction over us. 
81. When NH adopted federal food laws, it made selling mushrooms illegal, among many other prohibitions. Now, the only way to make it legal for anyone in NH to sell mushrooms is to create more regulation requiring ‘licenses’, which is somewhat counterproductive. The only other way to make mushrooms legal in NH would be to sever ties with DC. 
82. Dictator Biden nominated an actual Soviet communist to be the comptroller of the currency. If you don’t want your country’s financial system to be run by an avowed communist, you support separation from DC.  
83. On 10/8/21, the preliminary deal on a GLOBAL tax on businesses was officially agreed to. A total of 136 countries have signed onto the measure, guaranteeing that they will work together to stomp out businesses seeking to evade taxes by implementing at least a 15% tax on them, no matter where they come from. Once New Hampshire becomes a self-governing state, its low (or absent) tax on business could attract so much business to the state that it could cause the biggest economic boom in world history. 
84. Dictator Biden’s OSHA implemented a vaccine mandate for nearly every worker in the united states. It is extremely unlikely that an individual could beat this in federal courts or via federal legislation. Separating from the union is actually the more practical way to nullify this mandate. 
85. A federal law to require all new cars to have passive drunk-driving monitoring technology is about to go into effect, making all cars in the united states more expensive and much more intrusive. The law does not specify, but the new technology may be tantamount to perpetual breathalyzers and/or eye monitoring in every car. 
86. The medical system and all medical institutions in the united states are becoming increasingly racist towards whites, and it all starts with DC politicians. 
87. The Supreme Court is composed of 9 judges. The SCOTUS is perhaps the most powerful entity in the united states now. These nine judges are either evil or mentally retarded. They certainly do not believe in freedom. Is that who you want to be ruled by?
88. The US House of Representatives passed legislation that would take over control of elections, taking the power that always resided with the states and granting it to DC politicians. Among the many measures in the legislative package was a law that prohibited any election in the united states from requiring ID in order to vote. New Hampshire citizens who would like to retain their voter ID law must either support secession or give up voter ID forever once this federal law passes. 
89. DC politicians just passed a law mandating that all vehicles made after 2026 be equipped with perpetual monitoring systems to detect ‘impaired driving’. The vehicles must also have ‘kill switches’ that allow cops to turn them off at any moment. If you don’t like this policy, secession is the only solution. 
90. In the summer of 2022, federal government will begin to require facial recognition/uploading pictures of your face in order to access tax/ documents on the IRS website.
91. The President announced that the next US Supreme Court Judge he nominates will be a black woman. Upon joining the court, she will likely hear a massively important case involving ‘affirmative action’.
92. DC politicians are literally stealing our organs. In 2021, a policy change at UNOS essentially caused nearly all organs from donors in New Hampshire to be sent to NYC, CT, and MA, harming New Hampshire’s patients who desperately need organs to live. DC is viciously fighting NH legislation that would allow Granite Staters to state their preference that their neighbors be granted priority over foreigners if they pass away with viable organs. 
93. The brilliant experts in DC are using $30,000,000 in taxpayer funds to give out drug paraphernalia, including crack pipes, to drug users. The statement from the DC politicians specifically mentioned that they are being distributed primarily to minorities and that they are to be used for illegal drugs. 
94. Our Lords in DC believe that they must force New Hampshire to build more housing projects so that our state could look more like the Bronx.  
95. Our brilliant Lords in DC are destroying our savings and devaluing our salaries by printing so much money that annual inflation is now at a frightening 9.1% annual rate.
96. DC politicians have been forcing you and me to pay for dangerous bioweapons labs in Ukraine for years. 
97. Your federal tax dollars are being used to pay Tik Tok influencers to create and promote propaganda approved by Dictator Biden. If you don’t want to be forced to fund such endeavors, you may want to consider secession. 
98. If you don’t enjoy paying $6 billion for the annual NIAID budget doled out by Anthony Fauci to fund foreign bioweapons labs and development and approval of ludicrously expensive patented pharmaceuticals and suppress use of cheap off-patent drug, you should consider supporting a vote of NH residents to leave the union.
99. The federal government violates free speech in numerous ways. Leaving their jurisdiction solves these issues and restores freedom of speech, expression, press, association, and worship. 
100. The federal government is increasingly racist. Most recently, Dictator Biden nominated a black woman to be a judge on the highest court because of her gender and skin color. Ironically, she will likely soon be ruling on an affirmative action case.
