The World Economic Forum, WEF, has for decades been a central node of collaborative efforts towards bettering himanity. Many of its projects are initiated with the best intentions. Yet, it has increasingly become corrupted and now acts as a source of fascist anti-human ideology worldwide.

This is in plain sight in the language used by the WEF’s directors and media outlets. The key term is “Public-Private Partnership”. What does this mean precisely? It means cooperation and coordination between corporations and governments. There is a key element missing here— the private citizen.

Corporations and governments are both functioning power structures directing economies. Both are conglomerations of individuals working towards specific goals. However, neither necessarily have in their specific interest the prosperity and well-being of the individual private citizen. When corrupted, both corporations and governments take from the citizens rather than nurture them. Most especially, when corrupted, neither has in its interest the prosperity of individuals outside of themselves. That is, a corrupted government run by a certain political party will not care for citizens outside that party. A corporation will not care for citizens who are not part of the corporate structure.

No effective global mechanism exists today for regulating corporations and governments. These power actors chart a course depending on the morality of the people who run them. By and large, across the planet today, morals have been cast to the wayside in favor of money. Some widely broadcast voices say you can have only one but not the other. This is not true. Attaining both is possible. All that is required is restraint from the amoral.

It is difficult to do a good thing that benefits everyone. There are so many possible courses of action. There are many easy ways when it comes to making money. Yet, making money morally in a way that benefits everyone is the key. It is possible with a clear vision and a good conscience.

The WEF has not promoted such a path forward. This group of globalists is promoting transhumanism— the destruction of the human body. They call it by other words to make it palatable, and so they can profit. Yet, the reality is that their agenda promotes war and bloodshed, promotes castration, and promotes deadly and dangerous biomedical technologies. They have collectively lost the way.

A collaboration between corporation and government has been defined already— it was recognized by the Italian politician Benito Mussolini in the mid 20th century by the term fascist. This is precisely the correct definition of fascism.

When corporations and governments work together, there is a conjunction between the monopoly on economic power and the monopoly on military force. The result is destructive and anti-human. The course is one where the individual finds it increasingly difficult to affect change or even to be recognized and heard.

We must avoid this course at all costs. The WEF is not leading humanity along the best course of action. We must all recognize this reality as quickly as possible and act to avert what could be a disaster for the entire planetary civilization.

Homeschooled students typically score 15 to 25 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests, according to The National Home Education Research Institute.

An earlier series of articles published by me in the Eagle Times showed a strong majority of students in public schools in NH and VT scored poorly on statewide reading performance assessments. 

New Hampshire does not collect such data on homeschooled children and homeschooled students are not required to take the yearly state assessment or to report their results if they do. 

But we do know that one of the many reasons people decide to homeschool is that schools do not serve their children well academically.  

As one parent interviewed for this article said:  “My child was removed from school because she was getting excelling grades in reading and we realized she couldn’t spell or read well.” 

In researching this article, I conducted a survey to determine how reading is learned by homeschoolers.  It ran from October 3 to November 14, 2023 and was advertised to the Upper Valley Homeschool group and the Granite State Home Educators group on Signal and Facebook.  The UVHG has about 800 adult members and GSHE has over 16,000 adult members. 

The survey asked questions about approaches to homeschooling, how homeschooled children learn to read, when they’re taught, where they’re taught and how they’re taught.  It also asked about when children showed an interest in reading, how long it took them to become fluent readers and how well they read now. 

There were 111 responses; one entry per homeschooled child.  The children’s ages ranged from 5 to 21.  Some children have special needs and learning disabilities, though those didn’t stand out.  The results are summarized below.   

How do people homeschool? 

Fifty-five percent (55%) of the 111 children take an eclectic approach to learning, meaning parents try different things based on what the child is ready for and what works for that child.  Eighteen percent (18%) of parents follow a particular curriculum, like the Classical Method or the Trivium, basically doing school at home, though with a lot more flexibility.  Nine percent (9%) do what is called “unschooling,” which is usually thought of as learning as you go through your day-to-day life. 

Many parents are able to guide their children’s learning full-time; some have at-home businesses, others work unconventional hours. 

Many homeschooling families are part of co-ops or learning clubs, no matter which approach to learning they take.  Groups meet daily, 2 to 3 times weekly, once a week or a couple of times a month, depending on what works for the families.  Some allow kids to be dropped off; some don’t. 

Two local groups are the Upper Valley Homeschoolers, who base many of their events in Newport NH and at Micah Studios, which is also in Newport.  Micah works with homeschooled students between the ages of 6 and 18.  All Micah students currently use Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs).  (In full disclosure, I was involved in setting up Micah Studios, but am not involved with the school’s operation.) 

How do they teach reading? 

As one parent said:  “Learning to read was always, in my mind, akin to potty-training; a necessary skill, which each child needs help with, but has to develop when they are ready to be provided and made available, but not to be punished for or be negative about.” 

Who does the teaching? 

• 47% were taught by parents, in addition to some also learning on their own (19%) or at school (5%), 
• 29% taught themselves to read, sometimes along with parents (19%) or in school (2%), 
• 8% learned to read all on their own, 
• 7% learned to read only at school, and 
• 5% were taught by themselves, parents and schools. 

When parents say their children learned to read on their own, they mean that they didn’t use a curriculum or method to teach them, that the child just started reading one day.  However, they generally spent a lot of time reading to and with them and taught them the alphabet and the sounds the letters make. 

Below are survey answers that revealed a few patterns in homeschoolers’ approaches:  

• They provide a rich reading environment for their children.  “He was read to every day of his life by parents and siblings.  There were always books in the house.  Weekly visits to the local library.” 
• They wait until the child can pay attention.  “He asked to learn to read when he first turned 6, but didn’t seem to have the attention span to actually do lessons, so I started by just reading with him as much as I could.  Once he was able to pay enough attention to the material to learn, I tried several different ‘curriculums,’ mainly Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons and All About Reading.” 
• They do short regular practices.  “We spent 5-10 minutes, 5x a week, stopping for breaks when he asked to.  It clicked for him after a few months (age 6) and he accelerated with fluency!  He preferred non-fiction books that would show him how to DO something (cookbooks, science experiments, etc.).” 
• They focus on phonics (80%) and sometimes combine it with other methods.  “We work on phonics as it fits into our daily life.  We have common sight words that appear regularly on a board that we change every couple of weeks.” 
• They try different approaches.  “At 3, she asked me to learn to read so we got Learning to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.  It was too much for her (and I found it boring) so we stopped.  Later, we tried a reading program with enjoyable stories, but it taught memorization and not sounding out, so we did it mostly for fun.  At 5.5, she got an Usborne collection for beginner readers.  We went through the first handful of them together and then, suddenly, everything clicked and she started reading them on her own.  Within weeks she went from barely being able to read to being a pretty good reader and by 6 was reading small chapter books.” 
• Learning to read can also happen in the most unexpected places.  “Honestly, she learned by reading text messages, prompts in online games, birthday cards, notes around the house, etc.” 

When did these children show interest in reading? 

Research indicates that children will learn to read more easily if they’re developmentally ready.  In one study (https://bit.ly/3S1WRzT), 22% of kindergarten students started the year with a gap in their reading readiness.  At the end of the year, gaps remained and those who were already ready to read made significantly more progress.  

Homeschooling parents use interest to let them know that their child is ready to learn to read.  As one parent said:  “I am grateful I could give her the gift of waiting until she was ready.” 

Some lessons from the survey: 

• Some kids show interest in reading as early as 1 year old and some as late as 10 years old.  “This child struggled and just wasn’t ready to even slightly connect the dots of reading until the age of 8.” 
• Some children are taught to read before they are developmentally ready.  “We withdrew ‘Pat’ in the middle of 3rd grade.  Pat couldn’t read past a 1st grade level without major struggling.  Pat has now been homeschooled for 3 years and is reading at 12th grade level and can’t put books down.”   

Most of these children (73%) showed interest in reading between the ages of 3 and 5.  Quite a few (20%) showed interest between the ages of 6 and 8.  One was 10 years old and a few were 1-2 years old.  The range is probably similar for all children.  

How long did it take these children to become fluent readers?  

Most of these homeschooled children (65%) were taught to read after they showed interest.  One child was first taught to read at 9 years old.  She became a fluent reader very quickly.  Harry Potter was the first book she read on her own. 

Some kids can learn to read fluently at an early age.  One child was reading fluently at 4 years old, before going to school for grades K-4.  “Starting with simple books, he was able to quickly improve his reading skills and comprehension.  We introduced more interesting stories early and avoided simple readers without good story lines.” 

The survey data suggest that it takes about the same amount of time for kids to become fluent readers whether you start teaching reading before or after the child shows interest.  It can range from two weeks (if they’re really ready) to more than 4 years for children to read fluently.  

Does learning to read before or after showing interest affect how much they LIKE to read?   

“He loves reading now because it wasn’t forced on him as something he HAD to do just because he was a certain age or grade.  It was offered to him as an exciting magical power when he was ready and interested to learn it.” 

Over 71% of children in the survey like to read, whether they learned to read before or after they showed interest in reading.  This might be because most of these homes provide rich reading environments, where parents and siblings read with the child early and often.  

However, 20% of children who were taught to read before they showed interest do not like to read now, compared to 10% of children who learned after showing interest.  The sample of children is small, so it’s hard to draw conclusions.  

Did going to school affect when children learned to read? 

“This child was not ready to learn to read in kindergarten when it was taught.  She hated doing the phonics and simple reading homework at home.  She simply did not understand it and ended up repeating kindergarten and hating school.  She eventually ended up having panic attacks at school so I pulled her out halfway through 5th grade to homeschool.  She caught up to her original grade and is now flourishing in college.” 

Some of the children in the survey went to school for a period of time:  

• 34% attended a traditional school.   
• 23% attended, at some point, in grades PreK-3, the years that schools teach reading. 
• 11% attended school beyond 3rd grade.  
• 6% attended school for just one year and, for some, that year was PreK. 
• 9% attended school only for PreK and/or Kindergarten. 

Over 80% of the homeschooled-only children were taught to read after they showed interest, whereas almost 40% of these children who were schooled were taught before they showed interest.   

Of course, homeschooled families have the opportunity to wait for a child to be interested.  Children who go to school have to try to keep up with their class, no matter their level of reading readiness.  

A number of years ago, I tutored a first grader, a 6-year-old boy, in reading.  He didn’t know, or care about, the sounds that letters make.  It’s not clear that it’s worth putting a lot of effort into forcing a child to read at that readiness level.  My focus was to get him to trust me while exposing him to books and letters.  Elementary school teachers have to meet this challenge every day.  

Conclusions 

“Homeschooling has allowed her more time to read and has accelerated her skills.  Rather than getting up before she’s fully rested and rushing to get to a traditional school where she will be assigned 20 minutes of reading, she wakes up when she’s ready each day and reads in bed before getting up.” 

All homeschooled children in the survey who showed interest in reading have learned to read.  People who responded to the survey were self-selected so we might not have heard from parents whose kids had problems learning to read. 

Homeschooled children are taught to read using many different approaches.  Many parents mentioned following the child’s readiness and interest.  Contrast this with schools, which use one approach for all students, whether it works or not. 

In my previous series on reading published by the Eagle Times, one parent said that everyone in her affluent town hires tutors to teach their kids to read, even though they attend a well-performing public village school.  Also, the principal of another village school said that many kindergartners start out not ready to read and that it is a problem.   Perhaps school policies should change to allow children to attend kindergarten only if they are ready to learn to read, no matter their age. 

Whether you homeschool your children or send them to school, reading to or with them at home regularly will give them a solid foundation.

The post Homeschooling Survey: They Use Many Different Methods to Learn to Read appeared first on Granite Grok.

Democrats continue to insist that despite the risks (fraud, assault, injury, etc.), if a boy wants to play on the girl’s team (use their locker room, showers), that’s social justice, but New Hampshire has legislation that would protect girls by limiting sports participation to biology at birth, so – naturally – they have to object.

It takes many forms, but this clip of testimony in opposition from NH House Rep Hope Damon is … interesting. She very politely and calmly reminds us that losing builds character. Someone should have told that to the Hillary supporters after Trump won in 2016 or—for that matter—her entire party. They still can’t get over it, but I digress (just a wee bit).

Rep. Damon’s argument isn’t wrong exactly. Generally speaking, defeat properly repurposed builds character, but this oversimplification of the context ignores facts.

Losing builds character if it inspires you to improve toward some attainable goal, and most of these girls work hard to excel at a sport only to be faced with the potential of a fit male competitor (even if he lacks the skills to do well against other boys) who can outperform them on a girl’s team. If they are fit and have skills, we are telling girls to stop wasting their time with diet, exercise, and all that practice. You can’t win (maybe you should stay home and bake cookies).

If she takes testosterone to try and close the gap, she’s doping and can’t play with girls. If she plays with boys, she still loses if she survives. Where is this politically enforced systemic disadvantage building character? It won’t, but it will result in serious injury, anger, and possibly depression. Rep. Damon may have left that out.

And how about this?

Does it build character when a man wins a women’s sports scholarship? How about if that was her only real opportunity to attend a university? Lots of character building, especially when it’s this guy. Franz Lagardas plays both male and female volleyball, and he just got a sports scholarship to a women’s college. I’m sure the young lady he beat out enjoys all that character-building. She could, of course, take hormones as in the example above, but then they might not let her into the women’s college or on the women’s team.

Character building!

One more point. If losing builds character, I hope the citizens in Croydon introduce Rep. Damon to some come November. It sounds like she could use it.

The post Dem Rep Thinks Girls Losing to Boys (Pretending to be Girls) is Good for Them appeared first on Granite Grok.

Earlier this week, the Senate Education Committee heard testimony on HB1205, which would require schools to designate athletics by sex and prohibit biological males from participating in female athletics. This bill further creates various causes of action based on violations of its provisions.

There was a great deal of testimony from both sides of this issue, but one thing we can see is, this issue has become partisan. Democrats are standing against girls and women, and Republicans are standing with them. It’s as if Democrats forgot the history of the women’s movement.

WMUR covered the hearing here. You can see how Republicans, and myself, spoke to some of the concerns for girls who have been injured by the males who identify as females. Representative Hope Damon (D), at the end, says that we (women and girls) need to learn to lose. Who says that in 2024? Women are sick of being told to sit down and shut up.

Title IX was established to give girls some of the same opportunities as males, to compete and win scholarships and awards. All of that is under attack when biological males are allowed to compete in women’s sports.

You can see from this video how girls in one Massachusetts school were thrown to the ground by a trans athlete during a basketball game.

Senator Suzanne Prentiss (D) doesn’t seem to understand that the injuries these girls are sustaining are far worse when they come from a biological male.

Other states are moving to pass legislation that protects girls and women, and their sports.

This would be a good time to send an email to ALL of The New Hampshire Senators and ask them to protect women’s sports and their privacy in the locker room and restrooms. Senators New Hampshire <Senators@leg.state.nh.us>
You can also find your senator here.

It’s unfortunate that this has become partisan, with the Democrats standing against fairness and the rights of women and girls in New Hampshire. It’s up to us to remind them that they need to do the right thing.

Essentially supporting secession from the federal government, judge Abena Darkeh proclaimed that the federal constitution did not exist in his courtroom. This decision absolutely violated the federal constitution and the US Supreme Court.

In January 2024, there was a meeting of the New Hampshire House State-Federal Relations and Veteran Affairs committee. The committee heard two separate bills on secession.

The first one, CACR 20, would be a constitutional amendment that would see the people of NH vote to amend the constitution to say that if the federal government’s national debt reaches $40 trillion, New Hampshire shall peacefully secede from the union.
The second one, HB1130 would form a commission to study everything we would need to know about secession, such as economic impact.

This is video of the full public hearing for both bills and the people’s testimonies.

On Wednesday morning, NHexit.US announced that local liberty activists in New Hampshire have hired a chartered airplane pilot to fly a pro-independence banner over the three largest cities in the state. Over the past few years, the calls for serious discussions on peaceful separation of New Hampshire from DC and the union have grown dramatically. New Hampshire is already home to the most influential liberty movement in the world.

Notable events since 2021 include:

• legislation to place an independence referendum on the ballot which was sponsored by nine lawmakers in the New Hampshire House
• a poll by SurveyUSA finding that almost 100% of NH residents strongly resent the federal government and 29% are ready to secede immediately
• increasing demands by lawmakers and the centrist governor telling the DC tyrants to back off 
• An abundance of pro-independence sentiment, including flags for the Granite Republic, hats, T-shirts, books, articles, and podcasts, and even a national anthem

This Saturday, an airplane banner could be added to that list. The tentative plan is for the banner to fly over Nashua, Manchester, and Concord. If you look up while in one of these cities, you just might be able to snap a photo or record a video of the banner. We encourage our readers to post their photos to social media with the tags #NHexit, #secession, and #NHpolitics. 

Additionally, the question of secession will be asked by another highly reputable pollster. The University of New Hampshire is currently conducting a political survey that includes multiple questions related to New Hampshire independence. The results could be published within days or a few weeks. 

 

 

The post Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence (FNHI) shows that while the peaceful separation of New Hampshire from the federal government has low support among politicians, it has significant support among registered voters.

According to an overwhelming number of respondents, the people of the United States are getting more and more divided over important issues like LGBT rights, guns, abortion, election integrity, race relations, involvement in foreign wars, climate change, immigration, and so on (91%).  Nearly as many fear that if this trend continues, it will lead to increases in political violence (89%).

Large majorities of respondents agreed that the federal government doesn’t have their best interests in mind (67%); that it violates their rights more than it protects those rights (65%); that it produces laws, regulations, and court rulings that are incompatible with New Hampshire’s culture of freedom (63%); and that its financial decisions and economic regulations hurt our livelihoods, and could lead to inflation and bankruptcy (77%).

In short, 63% of respondents feel that their state can be trusted more than the federal government.

One possible way forward would be for New Hampshire to begin ignoring federal laws and regulations regarding matters reserved to the States by the 10th Amendment. Fewer than half of respondents believe that the federal government should be able to force New Hampshire to follow federal mandates and laws regarding cannabis (27%), medicine (37%), public health (42%), education (41%), welfare (42%, firearms (42%), businesses (38%), and abortion (33%).

This approach, also referred to as ‘nullification’ is common, currently being utilized by dozens of states, and is consistent with the recent enactment of New Hampshire HB 1178, ‘prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms’. 

However, a more comprehensive way forward would be for New Hampshire to reclaim its sovereignty, peacefully separating from the federal government to govern itself as an independent country, an idea that was supported by 29% of respondents and 52% of Republicans. Only 58% of respondents do not support immediate and full secession from the federal government today. More than 2/5 of respondents agreed that the state should be able to do this without securing permission from the federal government (43%). And only 3% of respondents would support the use of military force by the federal government to interfere with such a separation.

Again, while politicians declined to put the question to the people, more than 2/5 of respondents support the idea of placing independence on the ballot (42%) while only 47% currently oppose it.

History is filled with proposals that seemed at first to be politically impossible, but after serious discussion and evolving circumstances, proved to be politically inevitable. To take just one example, shall-issue laws for concealed carry licenses, once viewed as extreme, are now the law in nearly every state. As the results of this poll show, peaceful separation already has more support now than shall-issue laws had in 1990. Today, not only is shall-issue the norm, but 25 states allow their residents to carry concealed guns without even requiring a permit. If New Hampshire independence follows a similar path, it may only be a few short years away from broad adoption. 

The survey also found strong support for independence and extreme discontent with DC politicians among all 8 states polled. In Texas, 90% of Republicans recently endorsed putting secession on the ballot, officially placing the position in their platform. California progressives have a strong independence movement of their own, and surveys show that around half of Californians support or are open to independence from the union. Progressives in Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington also support independence. States like South Carolina, Florida, and many other states have new independence movements that are rapidly growing, as well. 

The post New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence appeared first on Foundation for New Hampshire Independence.

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.
