If you think Jeanne Dietsch and her ilk are amusing/comical/funny/etc., then you have no idea … none at all … of the true nature of the Left. The Jeanne Dietsches of New Hampshire and of America are the current incarnation of the Schutzstaffel, the NKVD, Mao’s cultural revolutionaries, and Pol Pot’s followers.

They are the “true believers,” eager and willing to carry out whatever crusade their “leaders” set them on.

“It can’t happen here!” “It can’t happen here!” If you believe that, either you have been living in a cave or are willfully delusional. Every day that passes, this country becomes more and more like East Germany, Kampuchea, the Soviet Union, etc., etc…

Don’t laugh at Jeanne Dietsch and her ilk … be terrified of them. They are the ones the Regime’s security apparatus will use to identify the “insurrectionists,” “extremists,” etc. They are the ones who will be running the Regime’s equivalents of the gulags, concentration camps, and killing fields. They aren’t in the least funny unless you find gulags, concentration camps, and killing fields funny.

Earlier this week, Representative Leah Cushman introduced HB 1010 “relative to expanding maternity options and midwifery access.” Fortunately, representatives of the “we know what’s best for you” crowd were there to explain why patient choice is a very, very bad thing.

Here’s a choice snippet from the testimony of Dr. Cathy Chung Hwa Yi, an OBGYN based in Concord, NH:

This bill allows patients or consumers to decide what is the best option for them. In my opinion, I think the government and the regulatory board and the licensure committees exist to protect the public and allow the lay public to make good decisions. By allowing the public to decide now to where to choose care, I think it endangers the consumer. …

So my position is that this bill poses the choice of seeking care to the lay public and I think the government and its agencies should exist to protect the public from making good choices and good options, and by deregulating or allowing the patients to have more choice in this particular situation it is reckless endangerment, I guess, of the public.

The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation’s spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand.

In the movie Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise – the first one – has a magnificently-delivered line as they prepare to break into CIA headquarters.  “It’s much worse than you think.”  Well, we’ve been seeing article after article about “books” in school libraries, drag queen story hour, etc.  Here on the grok, all over the Conservative part of the blogosphere, MassResistance is a great group.

A book author and his books, plus two recent videos, came to my attention, so let me dig in a little. And so, leading in… it’s much worse than you think.  Much, much worse.

 

BIG BLACK HAWK

Do not play the below youtube if you have little ones around.  This has no bad language, but… note the double entendres and other symbolism.  These could get very uncomfortable having to explain why you’re snarling at the screen.

My Big Black Hawk Funny Books Humour #comedy (youtube.com)

Also – this is not his only such book.  He has others.

Link 1.

Link 2.

Link 3.

Lots of others.  And as we’ve seen, from schools and other places, this and similar materials are metastasizing into kids’ hands.

Onward, there’s a point building.

 

IT’S OK TO PASS AWAY

Again, content alert:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/its-ok-to-pass-away-1.mp4

 

Calling for our children – our children – to think that dying young is perfectly acceptable.  Not just acceptable but implicitly something to be welcomed.  And someone made a video and posted it.  Now, I understand the initial video has been pulled off YouTube.  Good.  But that doesn’t change the fundamental thing – someone made it.  Again, point building.

 

CALLING GOOD EVIL, AND EVIL GOOD

So now this video hits my field of view.  It’s a woman commenter who watches a minute or two of a lead-in to what is, apparently, a new Amazon cartoon (series?) depicting… wait for it… Satan as the misunderstood good guy.

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/amazon-pro-satan-cartoon.mp4

 

Now, interestingly, perhaps a year ago, both my kids started asking me a question with the simultaneous timing being suspicious: What if God is the bad guy, and Satan’s the good guy?  Now, I’ve always encouraged my kids to think “outside the box,” and even if the questions are uncomfortable for me to have to deal with, I’d rather they had a wide-ranging curiosity and sense of inquiry rather than an ossified “Because someone told you.”  But the fact that both had similar questions at roughly the same time made me inquisitive; I looked for and didn’t see anything that I thought could have triggered this. Agitprop aimed at kids specifically?  I don’t know.

But watch the above video again.  In watching this repeatedly, I noticed several things:

First, it describes Heaven as being ruled by beings of pure light who worshipped good.  Ruled by beings… not a singular G-d, but plural beings.  And worshiped good, not G-d.  It’s curious in the notable absence of the one central figure here.

Second, Lucifer – wearing a top hat and with the cartoon presentation – comes across as a hip-hot-happening young guy.  Perfect for attracting attention from younger viewers who would, IMHO, very likely find him as a sympathetic dreamer with fantastical ideas for all creation character.

Third, Lucifer is described as someone being disapproved of by the “elders of heaven.”  Again, notice Someone missing?

Fourth, Adam and Lilith.  About Lilith (links in original, bolding added):

In Genesis Rabbah, we encounter a brief midrash that claims that Adam had a first wife before Eve. This interpretation arises from the two creation stories of Genesis: In Genesis 1, man and woman are created at the same time, while in Genesis 2 Adam precedes Eve. The rabbinic tale suggests that the first creation story is a different creation, in which Adam has a wife made, like him, from the earth. For some reason this marriage doesn’t work out, and so God makes Adam a second wife, Eve.

So this cartoon builds off Lilith apparently – by some writings at least – being Adam’s first wife.

The Lilith of this story confronts both Adam and God: she defies patriarchy, refuses a submissive sexual posture, and in the end refuses marriage altogether, preferring to become a demon rather than live under Adam’s authority.

…

Perhaps the best-known of the new Lilith tales is “The Coming of Lilith,” by Judith Plaskow. In this feminist midrash, Lilith flees the garden because she is an “uppity woman” who doesn’t want to be pushed around by Adam or God.

No wonder she’s become, seemingly, a feminist icon.  She defies the Patriarchy, etc.

Once a source of fear, Lilith has been transformed into an icon of freedom. While some disapprove of this widespread embrace of a former demon, Lilith’s rehabilitation makes sense. The frightening character of Lilith grew, in part, out of repression: repression of sexuality, repression of the free impulse in women, repression of the question “what if I left it all behind?”

Isn’t that feminism in a nutshell?  And I do recall, from many years ago, a vague memory of this.  And apparently one of Adam’s complains was that Lilith wouldn’t obey him so G-d made him a new wife, Eve.

Lilith and Lucifer… rebellious dreamers.  The Lilith mythos of an independent woman who needs Adam like a fish needs a bicycle, a Lilith free to wantonly express her sexuality?  No, nothing appealing to young, hormone-addled female minds in that phrase, no.  And inferential, at least to me, is the attractiveness of such a “liberated” putting-out woman to equally hormone-addled male minds.

Fifth, in this take on things the Apple was not the Original Sin (per my understanding of Catholic teaching at least) but rather being the two well-intentioned lovebirds who merely wished to share the gift of free will with Eve.  How noble.  How selfless and generous.  How appealing to young minds yet again.  And again, no mention of His command to both Adam and Eve to not do so; this was mentioned as an “act of disobedience” – disobeying who precisely?  Not mentioned.

Sixth, as those two love-birds are cast from Heaven, the narrator discussed how one of the punishments was to never see the good that comes from mankind.  Such an unjust punishment for someone who just wants good in the universe, no?

And parenthetically, I love the outrage in the viewer’s voice as she exclaims, at the end, “So Satan’s the victim now”!?  (IMHO she’s a great face to watch to study body language.)  Again fitting in with the Woke idea of oppressors and oppressed.  Now that Satan is a victim, he’s become protected:

Meanwhile, what’s happened to those who tear down statues like Lincoln or Columbus or General Lee… ?

 

 

 

THE POINT REVEALED

None of the above examples… none of the child grooming books in schools… none of this – NONE OF ANY OF THIS – spontaneously appeared out of the ether in finished form.  The ideas for each of these came from a human mind.

That human mind had to express the idea to other human minds, who fed back that this seemed like a good idea.  Someone had to then put together a presentation, pitch it to companies / funders / superiors, who then had to agree to fund it.  Artists, animators, writers, etc., had to be hired; surely they knew what was being put out there.  For that OK to pass away video, there had to be camera and set crews who watched as it was rehearsed and then filmed without, one assumes, saying anything; the kids had to have parents who, even if desirous of their children being actors, had to have read the material and still OKed it (like the infamous Little Cuties on Netflix).  And then comes the advertising once the materials are done.  School librarians had to see such books and ask for and get funding for those books, etc., with school boards defending it.  And so on.  Layers and layers and layers of people involved in bringing the final forms to being.

For each example this is a cast of a dozen or more… scores… possibly hundreds.  All on board.  Doubtless those who say WAIT ONE MINUTE are ignored or even punished.  So the rot goes deep.  Very deep.  For every example you see… understand how many are involved behind it.

Added: And how many just go along.  Consider this piece of filth:

School Board Member Sworn In On Stack Of Gay Porn Instead Of Bible | The Daily Wire

And the guy administering the oath just goes along with it.  Look, I can understand, say, a Jew not wanting to put their hand on the New Testament.  A Muslim not wanting to swear on a Bible.  And so on.  Someone shows up to take an oath on a stack of porn and graphic content school books?  And people didn’t turn him away?  Didn’t turn away from him?  So yes, it’s much worse than you think.

Two quotes come to mind to wrap up:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20,Ezekiel 9:9

And this notable thought from John Adams:

 

 

Much, much worse than you think.  So, one more quote, from Thomas Jefferson:

‘I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.’

HB1002, as passed by the New Hampshire House, would allow unprincipled municipalities to turn requests for public documents into a revenue stream. It passed the NH House yesterday, after which (at least) two things happened.

Rep. Lisa Smart, having voted in favor, requested a reconsideration of the vote. The House will have to vote again.

On February 1, 2024 at 5:45 p.m., Representative Lisa Smart, having voted with the prevailing side, served notice of reconsideration on the motion of Ought to Pass with Amendment on HB 1002, which the House passed on a roll call vote of 193-179.

— NH House Clerk (@nhhouseclerk) February 1, 2024

It is not uncommon for someone to vote yes on a bill they know they can’t stop today in hopes of getting a motion to reconsider that could produce the necessary pressure to get a different outcome. HB1002 will be reheard and another vote taken.

The second thing from yesterday was a response by Rep. Travis O’Hara to an email scolding him for his yes vote on HB1002.

 

You read it right. One hundred more times, but I felt like some context was needed. GraniteGrok did not file any right-to-know requests. David Murphy (Skip) did. But let’s pretend it was GraniteGrok and that this is about costing taxpayers “thousands” (x100) because Travis is closer to the truth than he realizes.

Skip, who made said request(s), upon reading the above response, replied,

“Yet the former Gunstock Commissioner used $100K of taxpayer money as a slush fund against conservatives. I RTK’d the invoice. No one would have known the amount if I hadn’t done so. Just one example.”

Gunstock is a public subdivision of the state and Belknap County, but the commission that runs it acts like it is their private company. It is not. They are subject to state law as a government body. When irregularities arose, and both Skip and the Belknap County Delegation began to ask questions, Gunstock (in this case) Gary Kiedaisch, along with Tom Day, spent over $100,000.00 on lawyers and lawsuits to entangle those who had oversight and responsibility for uncovering any irregular or illegal activity – including misuse of funds (like donating tax dollars to Gov. Chris Sununu’s campaign) or hiring lawyers to go after state reps investigating Gunstock.

Add to that the cost to the delegation to defend itself from the lawsuit (another 40K), all because the power behind Gunstock didn’t want to be audited, examined, or scrutinized.

If you are not clear on the size and scope of the pile of shit into which Travis O’Hara may have just stepped, Gunstock (the public entity) used public money not just for private or personal interest but to avoid being investigated by people elected to hold them accountable.

The very reason we need the Right to Know Law in the first place.

O’Hara may or may not have been a beneficiary of the effort to smear the Republicans who dared to question how the Gunstock Commission was constituted, run or on what they spent your money (we’ll save that for another day), but had Skip not “filed” that right-to-know request or been unable due to increasingly prohibitive costs favored by Travis (I will gladly vote 100 more times for HB1002) O’Hara, these facts (including the abuse of Belknap County resources) might never have come to light.

So, is 100,000+ dollars more or less than “thousands of dollars”?

GraniteGrok’s reporting, by the way, did not cost taxpayers a dime, but O’Hara’s proclamation is literally why we need to make public documents more accessible (not less) and why Republicans should oppose HB1002 when it comes up for reconsideration next week.

That and, as Skip noted, there are more examples, and we’d like to thank Travis for inviting us to share them when we otherwise might not have.

On Thursday afternoon, the New Hampshire House voted on CACR20, legislation that would place a question on the ballot asking voters if they wished to amend the New Hampshire Constitution to include a provision stating that New Hampshire declares independence from the union once the DC politicians rack up a debt of $40 trillion.

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.
