Cradle-To-Grave Community Schools Are Spreading …

Granite Grok - Sun, 2024-06-02 00:00 +0000

The Seabrook School Board has been challenging the implementation of the Community School Model for their school. While Community Schools sound good for families, that’s not the case.

Community Schools were developed by the CDC for public schools. They are called Whole School, Whole Community, and Whole Child schools. Essentially, parents are marginalized because some people believe that public schools can do a far better job of raising children. Read more about that here.

While that may be the case for some neglected children who attend public schools, that’s not the case for all Seabrook families. Over the past year, Seabrook parents have been attending school board meetings and asking the administrators to focus on academics (low proficiency scores) and persistent bullying.

I recently wrote to the Superintendent in SAU21 about the Community School Model and questioned why this is a priority for Seabrook. I mentioned the numerous problems that erupt when reformers turn public schools into medical and mental health clinics for children. New Hampshire couldn’t even vaccinate children properly last year. Two NH children were vaccinated after their parents told the schools NOT to vaccinate their children. When parents are absent or removed from the process, expect big mistakes to occur. Years ago in PA, 6th-grade girls were forced to undergo a vaginal exam without their parent’s knowledge or consent.

The School Board members in Seabrook have been questioning and pushing back on the grant money that will be used to implement the Community School Model. I attended a school board meeting recently where the administrators made it sound like this is all about expanding preschool. Why would anyone care about expanding preschool for children? (Discussion starts at 21:30)

While I’m not opposed to preschool, expanding preschool doesn’t address the pressing problems in the school. It may provide free daycare for working families, but there was no mention of using the $1.3 MILLION dollars in federal aid for working families. One gets the impression that preschool is so important that they must accept the federal money in order to improve the quality of education in the school. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Studies have shown that preschoolers do not make long-term real academic gains. In fact, preschool is supposed to be more about socializing than academics anyway. So how does that help with the problems that plague this school?

Years ago, a Head Start Study, which I included in my email to the Superintendent here, exposed the fallacy of pushing universal preschool. Head Start showed no lasting value to children. Education researchers pointed to the need to focus on elementary and secondary schools.

Sci-Tech Daily recently ran an article reporting on a study from Teachers College, Columbia University, the University of Virginia, the University of California-Irvine, and the University of Delaware That Revealed the Varied Impact of Preschool Programs on Long-Term School Success.

 

The study, “Unsettled Science on longer-run effects of early education,” published today (May 2) in the journal Science, examined published evaluations of well-established, publicly funded preschool programs using rigorous designs. The four evaluations reported a mix of positive, negative, and no differences in the school performance of children who did and did not attend preschool programs in elementary school and beyond.
AND
Although most recent evaluations show public preschool programs improve literacy and math skills at school entry, that advantage fades quickly after children enter elementary school.

 

This is essentially what the Head Start Study showed, too.

So why is the federal government moving forward with money for schools to implement the expansion of preschool? Maybe it’s not really about preschool as we’ve been led to believe.

When the Principal of Seabrook resigned recently, he admitted that it was because the board wasn’t supporting the mental health of the students. HUH? I thought this was about preschool. Now the Principal is saying this money is to support the students’ mental health. I’m not surprised, with the Community School model, public schools become mental and medical clinics but with a long list of problems that follow.

What else did they have in store for Seabrook and SAU21?

I filed a 91-a Right to Know Request asking to see emails that were exchanged on this federal grant. Within one of the emails you will find a link to the U.S. Department of Education. The US DoE provides a short video on how to implement “logic models.”  If you fast forward to about the 12-minute mark, you can see how they plan to collect data on the students and track them through their lifetime. No students are exempt, and there’s no way to opt out. Community School grant money has been sent to Manchester, Seabrook, Ringe, and Concord.

As you can see from these emails, the goal wasn’t just to expand preschool but to begin with infants and expand it to all of the schools in SAU21.

Do we have an integrity problem in SAU21?

The board wasn’t told this; they were told it was all about expanding preschool. Go here and listen at the 21:30 mark. This is beginning to look like an integrity issue with the SAU21 administrators. The Seabrook School Board then voted to review all grant applications in excess of $25k. They want to make sure that they agree with what the administrators are doing.

This really wasn’t about expanding preschool at all. This is exactly what the CDC envisions for all schools: Cradle to Grave, where the government promises to take care of us from the cradle to the grave. They are going to collect and share data on your children from birth through their careers.

What’s the problem with that?
Emmett McGroarty, an attorney, described to the U.S. Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking in Washington, D.C., that the federal government’s data mining can have an intimidating effect on individuals, even if the data is never used.

Alvin Bragg Won The Battle, But Lost The War

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-06-01 22:00 +0000

Until I can write about this ridiculous, rigged trial being overturned, I hope this will be my last article on this sad chapter in our history. Alvin Bragg, like Leticia James, is the epitome of the new generation of legal minds who do not fight crime but people. Bragg and James campaigned on the promise that they would “get” Donald Trump. Neither had specific crimes they could point to, but this trial proved you do not need a crime to convict your target. The actual crime that New York was trying Trump for violating was not disclosed until the summation and directions to the jury. That violates the 5th Amendment, just one of many reasons this verdict will be overturned. Democrats like to profess they are the Party of the Rule of Law, but this trial shows how far from the Law they run.

The tone for Republicans was evident as soon as the verdict was announced. The number of people flocking to the Trump website was so large that the site crashed for a short time until the techs could resurrect it and get the cash register running smoothly again. James Madison wrote about a day like today in the Federalist Papers. Madison, along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, wrote extensively in The Federalist Papers to warn a budding new democracy of the dangers of a mob, or faction, rule, and those brilliant men who came together to give birth to this great country made provisions to overcome such a day. This dark day in our history will put those plans to the test. No one is above the law, but this trial showed that the law, used as a weapon, can bring anyone down.

Alvin Bragg went to the podium within hours of the verdict, thanked the jury, and praised the prosecution team for bringing the correct ending to this trial of Donald Trump. He explained that this type of white-collar crime is the purpose of the office of the District Attorney. That is such a sad and stupid statement and so understandable coming from a George Soros-planted DA. As New York City is turning into a hell-hole because of the litany of crimes that Bragg announced on his first day, his office would not pursue.

Among the crimes, Bragg said his office would not prosecute:

  • Marijuana misdemeanors, including selling more than three ounces.
  • Not paying public transportation fare.
  • Trespassing, except a fourth-degree stalking charge
  • Resisting arrest
  • Obstructing governmental administration
  • Prostitution.

Alvin Bragg believes not prosecuting these offenses will make the city safer and the criminal justice system more fair. Those are the beliefs of a man who should not have the power of the office of District Attorney. On the day that Bragg was holding his post-trial celebration, a man was attacking patrons with a machete in a New York McDonald’s. Boy, Trump’s conviction sure made the day safer for those folks.

And let’s talk about this “praiseworthy” jury. These 12 men and women and the dozens of alternates did not ask to be on this jury, but they certainly did not take their responsibility seriously. I have been on three juries, and none of the cases held the weight of this trial. They were simple assault or burglary cases that took hours of deliberation and compromise to decide a verdict. There were many rounds before a unanimous consensus was reached. In this case, the jury took only a few hours and one free lunch to reach a consensus on 34 indictments.

That is absurd.

The testimony of a hooker/pornstar and a convicted perjurer was in no way persuasive enough to satisfy reasonable doubt on every fabricated charge. The task this jury faced had some pundits predicting at least a week of deliberation and would still probably produce a hung jury, not for this bunch of the newest Liberal heroes. They had to set a record for the quickest time to convict a man, with no prior criminal history, of nearly three dozen charges, or maybe they were just playing their role in this charade. With every bad decision by Bragg and the wrong ruling by Merchan, this outcome should have been obvious. Those few hours in the Jury Room will profoundly impact our country’s future.

The Lotus Effect

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-06-01 22:00 +0000

(Credit: Header image from here.)

 

I wrote the following essay on my old blog, specifically about the “sudden” explosion of Islamic migrants in many Western countries:

 

E The Islamic Lotus

 

From that above link – and note the year, 2018! – I pulled this screen grab of an analogy I’d read – and cited from memory – in a scifi book about why Neanderthals (hidden among us) didn’t see rising Homo Sapiens as a dire threat until they were overwhelmed “suddenly” by us (no, I don’t recall the name of the book but it was an entertaining read):

 

 

And, indeed, we’re suddenly noticing.

 

 

Muslim says: “We don’t need guns, Islam will conquer Germany by outbreeding you” (barenakedislam.com)

If you are not shaken to your core by this, something is wrong with you (barenakedislam.com)

Remember this video?

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Muslim-Demographics_360p.mp4

 

Do keep in mind this was made several years ago.  It’s worse, and visibly so, now… but it’s only suddenly that we’re really seeing it.  Here is another, discussing Canada, more recent:

“By 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group the world over. […] Are you going to oppose sharia even then? We have families. We are making babies. You’re not. […]One day we can have a Muslim majority nation here in Canada. Right in your face”

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/muslim-demographics-in-Canada.mp4

 

And I don’t have it bookmarked on this computer, but I remember some years ago seeing a video of an Imam in Europe preaching to a crowd of Muslims that the future belongs to them.  ON CUE, every family there with children raised up their infants and toddlers.  They have a vision and a plan, and think in decades and centuries – while our politicians and even public, for the most part, think until the next election.

Goodbye Andalus.  I mean Spain.

Goodbye Greece.

Goodbye Germany and Austria.  Jan Sobieski III weeps.

Etc.

AWARENESS EXPLOSIONS

But it’s far bigger than merely Islamic hijra.

In the last few years we’ve seen multiple topics where seemingly-small things have – in some cases literally – exploded into view, very publicly.  There is the food crisis – which gets people grumbling about prices and occasional shortages but is not of great concern as yet, but which will only truly be noticed when shelves look like this:

 

 

Mass Starvation: Here’s Why Most Of America Is Completely Unprepared – Activist Post

Meat prices are creeping up and up, fed by the Dread Pirate Climate Change, plus now fears of the Dread Pirate Bird Flu.  This also affects milk products, and everything that depends on them.  Never mind all the food plants, dairies, and chicken farms spontaneously combusting – plus the East Palestine disaster…

 

 

We’re now seeing, with the prosecutions persecutions of President Trump, just how deeply-rooted political considerations, never mind financial payoffs and graft, are in the supposedly-impartial Judicial system.

Unmasking the Insurrection: How Gaza Protests Serve a Bigger Agenda – Flopping Aces (bolding in original):

It has been clear from the outset that the organizations fomenting disturbances on American college campuses were effectively political fronts for Hamas, a murderous terrorist organization. Now those organizations are beginning to drop even the pretense of operating lawfully. They are now openly calling for revolution and threatening terrorist attacks here on U.S. soil.

Other actions are not just spoken of in abstract terms either.

 

 

 

 

They openly want to see the US – the “empire founded on capitalism” – destroyed.  See video here.

And many more examples.  All with one overarching theme – these movements / changes been building for years, but only as they enter a crisis level do they register with our conscious minds.

 

 

ARE WE HARD-WIRED NOT TO SEE THINGS EARLY

It does seem to be that way.

I had the occasion to reread an essay of mine from a few years ago:

Just Give Me Yavneh – Liberty’s Torch (libertystorch.info)

Note how, in case after case, people say “Oh, that can’t happen here” or “That’s just not possible” or some such.  Same thing here.  And while nobody wants to be in a situation where every single thing that comes across our consciousness should cause twitches of paranoia and fear, lest our system overload from the Boy who cried wolf syndrome, at the same time, worry has a function.

Normalcy bias is a real thing.  Stability privilege is a real thing.  And things are about to get very, very unstable.  The avalanche has started.  We’re about to see the anomaly end.

 

 

We’re in the endgame of the spreading lotus plant on many, many fronts.  Prepare yourself.

A Travesty for What Used To Be a Constitutonal Republic

Granite Grok - Sat, 2024-06-01 20:00 +0000

Whether someone supports Trump or not, if they can’t see that this case and ALL of the other cases against Trump are 100% politically motivated and completely bogus, they should not be allowed to hold office or vote in ANY future election because they are either too dumb to realize the damage that this has done to the American justice system or they are too corrupt and their lust for power so strong that they would do ANYTHING including destroy the country to stay in power.

The Alvin Bragg indictment used a Federal election law concerning the reporting of election expenses and cobbled that together with a New York statute, of which the statute of limitations had expired, to bring 34 charges that amount to a Trump employee marking a legitimate “Legal Expense” as a legal expense, instead of marking it as a campaign expense when the payment had nothing to do with Trump’s presidential campaign.

The judge, who donated large sums of money to the F Joe Biden campaign and that has a daughter that works for an organization that collects donations for F Joe Biden campaign as well, WAS REQUIRED by the New York State Legal ethics code to recuse himself. He did not.

The prosecution did not even lay out the actual crime in the indictment. The judge would not let Trump’s legal team provide a proper defense and made Trump’s lawyers go first in closing arguments, which is illegal. Not to mention, the judge instructed the jury that the verdict did not have to be unanimous, as is required in ALL criminal cases.

We want to thank John Cawthorn for this Contribution – Please direct yours to Steve@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

It has been reported that Trump could not even get qualified, top-notch lawyers to defend him for this case because the New York legal system and Bar Association have intimidated and basically threatened anyone of high legal stature from joining Trump’s legal team.

This is beyond a travesty of justice and a perversion of the justice system for political purposes.

This is a complete dismantling of the US Justice system. A system that for 250+ years was based on an expansive and strict legal code of ethics, the US Constitution & the Bill of Rights. The US justice system has now been raped and pillaged. It has been replaced by a system where legal ethics no longer matter, the Bill of Rights trampled, and a Soviet-style show trial system put in its place by a bunch of short-sighted, power-hungry goons that have no idea that what they’ve un-leashed will eventually come for them. A system such as this eventually eats its own.

Stalin (the F Joe Biden cabal’s patron saint) unleashed Lavrentiy Beria on his enemies, real and imagined. When all of his enemies were jailed or put to death, Stalin had Beria tried and executed for crimes against the state. Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and the rest may want to read a history book instead of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. They can’t see it now, but they will reap what they sow.
They should also all read Isaiah 5:20 as that is their future IMO.

Yesterday was a sad, sad day for our country. The Mar-A-Lago raid made the USA a Banana Republic. This case and verdict make the USA a rogue criminal state where the party in power stays in power by any means necessary and tramples the god-given rights of every citizen as they do so.

Under F Joe Biden, the USA is now exactly where Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said the Soviet Union was back in the 1970’s…

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying.

In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

Video: House Committee Hears Two Secession Bills

NHexit.US - Thu, 2024-02-29 20:47 +0000

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.

Secession Airplane Banner Flying Over Merrimack Valley Saturday

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Thu, 2023-05-25 02:34 +0000

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.

New Hampshire Survey Shows Disdain For DC, Support For Independence

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Fri, 2022-07-22 02:33 +0000

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.

Top 100 Reasons New Hampshire Should Be Independent

Foundation for N.H. Independence - Sat, 2021-11-13 01:28 +0000

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.
