More Cows Needed to Reverse Climate Change, Experts Say

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-02-27 15:00 +0000

In a little-noticed presentation on Dec. 9, 2023, at COP28 in Dubai, a panel of soil experts presented the case for cows as climate allies, not gas-spewing destroyers. The event, titled “Conscious Livestock Rearing and Soil Health,” discussed “animal rearing’s impact on soil health and its place as a part of the climate solution.” Contrary to the anti-cow cacophony of the climate crisis crowd, these experts explained the vital role ruminants like cows play in nourishing and rebuilding precious soils. It turns out grazing cows sequester massive amounts of carbon.

On the panel of experts was Seth J. Itzkan, co-founder of SOIL4Climate, Inc., a nonprofit that “promotes soil restoration as a climate solution,” and a man akin to a Lorax for the cows.

“I would respectfully push back against the less animals narrative,” Itzkan said, referring to calls to reduce the number of cows on the planet. “I actually don’t think there’s nearly enough,” he continued. “I think we’re going to need way more ruminants on the Earth, maybe twice as many as there are now, and they will need to be managed in this way that is beneficial.”

The Case for More Cows Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and globalists of their ilk claim humans must cut back on meat to save the planet from doom. The entire argument is premised on claims of enteric methane emissions from cattle confined in unnatural factory operations: Rotationally grazed cows sequester more carbon dioxide in the soil with their manure than they emit when they burp. Cow manure rebuilds soils destroyed by synthetic fertilizers and other chemicals, nurturing microbial life that feeds on methane. Robust natural soils sequester more carbon dioxide than forests, yet bovines are denied any carbon credit.

Itzkan was one of many soil and agriculture experts on hidden display at the global climate summit who explained that soil health is a key element of effective environmental stewardship and that ruminants are integral to that ancient cycle. Itzkan argued that:

[G]rasslands, the second largest ecosystem on the planet after the oceans, coevolved with extensive herds of grazing ruminants. These migratory mammals were essential to giving grasslands their fertile soils which store an enormous amount of carbon. A great deal of this carbon has been lost because of poorly managed cropping and grazing. However, ecologically beneficial cropping techniques, and grazing in a way that replicates the behavior of wild herds, can replenish much of this essential element.

Where the Buffalo Roam North America’s legendary bison herds once thundered across the Great Plains, nurturing soils and the entire ecosystem. Efforts to eradicate the buffalo to undermine Native Americans starved the precious soil microbiome; subsequent compaction and tilling by tractors and equipment gradually weakened and eroded topsoils. Synthetic fertilizers (manufactured from natural gas, aka methane) replaced bison manure, while various chemical concoctions began killing off soil microbes, poisoning wells, and wiping out colonies of vital honeybees.

The push to eliminate cows has been crafted by the same industrial forces that imprisoned them in Confined Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs). Synthetic and fake meats grown from soy or corn harvested with tractors and chemicals do not rebuild soils, instead accelerating erosion and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cows returned to roam the fields and hillsides, converting grass to meat and milk while replenishing soil health naturally.

Cows are not the cause, but the solution, of climate change. Humanity needs more cows, not fewer! Those who say otherwise are simply manure deniers.

Correlation Is Not Causation but This Is Suspicious: Workplace Injuries Rise After States Legalize Recreational Marijuana

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-02-27 13:00 +0000

I’m confident that people who show up drunk for work are more likely to get injured or injure someone else, but this study on weed and workplace injury suggests something less immediate and more lasting. The potential for a decline in cognitive agility with long-term use of marijuana might result in more work-related injuries.

Drunks, or those in training to be one, have well-understood immediate handicaps that fade without persistent use, joined later by chronic or terminal conditions resulting from long-term excessive use or abuse. The corpus on legalized or decriminalized marijuana, in contrast, continues to grow. Still, there are well-documented inferences to mental health issues as marijuana is a popular hobby among mental patients. Feel free to engage in “which came first debates,” as I’m sure there is evidence on both sides, but the US Department of Labor Statistics is reporting something we could add to the conversation.

U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics for 2006 through 2020 show that legal “recreational marijuana sales were associated with a 10% increase in workplace injuries among individuals aged 20 to 34 years,” the study authors concluded. … The study was published Friday in the journal JAMA Health Forum and co-led by Dr. Joseph Sabia, chair of the economics department at San Diego State University. ..

“Two and 3 years post-adoption, injuries were significantly higher,” the research team concluded.

Among 20-to-34-year-olds generally, on-the-job injuries rose by 10% on average, and when the data focused on folks solely engaged in full-time work, the researchers observed an 11.9% rise.

Correlation does not mean causation, but seeing as we’re in the early stages of this particular human experiment, and the legal weed train (and all the lovely taxes that will spring from it) appears unstoppable, what is society to do about this?

The idea that freedom is merely the ability to act upon one’s whims is surely very thin and hardly begins to capture the complexities of human existence; a man whose appetite is his law strikes us not as liberated but enslaved. And when such a narrowly conceived freedom is made the touchstone of public policy, a dissolution of society is bound to follow. No culture that makes publicly sanctioned self-indulgence its highest good can long survive: a radical egotism is bound to ensue, in which any limitations upon personal behavior are experienced as infringements of basic rights.

For my part, the government need not be much involved until there is a threat to the rights of others, and that threat does not include other states collecting revenues from Granite Staters that we could be collecting here. My primary objection to state involvement has long been their using appetites (liquor and tobacco taxes have long rankled my sensibilities) to accumulate revenue, with which they might then do more serious harm—the same with gambling. I’ve opposed them all on the basis of enriching legislators and regulators inspired to grow government—a far more significant threat to human liberty than any other.

Pretending to set up a slush fund to address addiction to the thing you’re peddling is deceptive misdirection; after all, where’s the slush fund to address addiction to the uncontrolled taxation, meddling, and growth of government?

So, is there some middle ground between the right to put things into your body and the effect it inevitably has on society? We’ve come to terms with alcohol, so many will say yes. And who is to complain if an employee who has harmed their cognitive agility hurts themself unless that results in the harm of others for which there are already laws to punish offenders after the fact?

It may or may not be a thorny question, but if long-term use of modern-day marijuana is proven dangerously debilitating and irreversible, what then? Are we just sacrificing future generations to death by misadventure or, worse, creating a caste of eaters? Our new morals allow us to plumb this state of decline but do not permit us just to erase the results, although there is a movement among assisted suicide advocates to convince them to do just that.

Assuming they survived their workplace injury.

A Tale Of Two Races

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-02-27 11:00 +0000

I won’t say this is the best or worst of times, but I think it is a time of change in America. Change may be the most overused and meaningless word in politics. It is a sign of pure laziness when a candidate claims it is time for a change and thinks that says it all. It says nothing. It is tantamount to someone responding with the word interesting in a conversation.

It means and contributes nothing to the dialog. The change that is happening in America is palpable. It is a slow but growing movement rejecting the radical socialist views of the Progressive Left that were initially embraced but have proven to be failures. It is a movement that indicates a possible trend back toward more traditional values, dare I say, more conservative values.

The 2024 Presidential race is the redo that many of us have longed for and that the Democrats had hoped would never happen. The brash and maligned Trump is seeking to regain his place in history, taken by the lifelong politician, Joe Biden. In a time of change, two octogenarians will compete to be the leader of the free world, our President.

Both have been down this road, and both have won and lost. The battle in 2024 will be a contrast between a man who gets his energy from being with and in front of the people and one who has used up his energy and will run for office from his Delaware basement once again. Biden will do his best to avoid people and exposure to minimize his blunders, while Trump will balance his time between the campaign trail and various courtrooms. The 2024 Race will be our history’s most unique and confusing election.

The Democrat Party is caught in the conundrum of admitting Biden is unfit for the office and exposing the lie they have been telling for four years or sticking by their man and risking losing the Presidency. The Dems have done their best to weaponize the DOJ against Trump and force him to split his focus between the campaign and the preservation of the Trump business empire. The 91 indictments would seem insurmountable for most people, but Trump is rising above the most. Trump has the resources and the will to go toe-to-toe with those who would take him down. Leticia James and Fani Willis have exposed themselves politically, not legally, focused on taking Trump down. Each daily legal report shows a corresponding increase in Trump support. As Trump said a few weeks ago, he is one indictment away from winning the Presidency.

On the flip side, Biden will rely on his immediate surrogates and the Party to speak for him. Biden will not debate, hold a legitimate press conference, or public rally. Biden will try to win a second term by being the least transparent candidate ever. Show them nothing, say nothing, and hope the Democrat machine can produce enough votes in the crucial states to bring home the win.

Trump has to avoid a guilty verdict by a high court that will stall his campaign. New York will not survive the appeal, and Georgia is falling apart before it starts, but there are many more legal land mines between Trump and victory.

This election is unfortunate and embarrassing on the global stage, but the blame for that falls solely on the Democrats. They have a flawed incumbent candidate and an unpopular record, which forced them to get creative. Let’s hope the awakened American voters see through this and take the first step to reviving a great America, by putting Trump back in the White House for four more years.

A note from the author. This is my 1,200 article and consecutive days publishing on Conservative View From New Hampshire. I thank you for your support and look forward to keeping the streak alive. We have so much work to do but together, we can get the job done. Ray

Night Cap: Accountability, Transparency and Executive Council Dynamics

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-02-27 03:00 +0000

From a front-row seat on January 31, I observed two well-known lawyers sparring in the executive council chamber.  It was Warmington and Formella, and the heated dialogue begins at 1h21 min in this video.

Most people paying attention to the Corner Office race know that reproductive issues primarily fuel Warmington’s campaign, and she lashed out at Formella because he declined to join an amicus brief with his out-of-state counterparts.  He took it like a gentleman at the mic for about 10 minutes, claiming that it didn’t pass legal muster while she was gaslighting him.

That was not the first time Warmington became unhinged in the chamber.  A previous time, a date unknown to me at the moment, she spent about 30 minutes lashing out at Wheeler for recording his vote. As the “leader of the pack,” so to speak, one of Wheeler’s responsibilities is to deliver the meeting minutes to Scanlan’s office to be archived. Warmington took objection to Wheeler recording his vote on voice votes.  It was a “wah wah wah, transparency” cry to no avail while Wheeler defended himself, claiming that he always does that.  She claimed that he was taking advantage of the benefits of being the messenger.

There’s other fodder to make criticism of Warmington, but instead, let’s discuss the kinds of votes there are and their applications.  While I’m most certainly a Wheeler critic, I commend him for recording his vote in a VOICE VOTE, which is resoundingly transparent. A future researcher who pays little or no attention to what’s happening today has a shovel to start digging if desired.

The VOICE VOTE is used in lots of government bodies, including the executive council and both chambers of the legislature, usually to move things along and/or when the item being voted on is of little interest or consequence.  In addition to saving time, there are a few other advantages.  One of them is the subjectivity of the person running the show.  Look at the Senate, for example.  No matter how loud you hear the enemy camp shout “no” with D’Allesandro playing lead vocals, Jeb can still say, “The ayes have it, and the item is adopted.”  So it’s a great “power tool” in the toolbox, but it also cloaks cowardice, and the cowards have an easier time dodging accountability in a larger body, particularly the House.

All kinds of shenanigans can and do happen when an item of specific interest, like brass knuckles, falls victim to the establishment’s hive mind. I mention brass knuckles because that bill was in the Senate last year. Twitley moved the item right after the clerk called on her to introduce the committee recommendation just to usurp any opportunity for discussion, and a VOICE VOTE was involved.  Remember that this is a body of 24; one could ask each one how they voted, but there’s no individual recording and archiving of said votes.

Let’s revisit the executive council, which only has five members.  What I just said about the Senate applies here also, hence Wheeler’s desire to record his vote.  Then there’s the roll call.  Roll calls are time-consuming, especially when there are a lot of them.  In the House, all 400, or as Senator Gray would say, “members with butts in seats,” which is often much less than 400, will press their buttons during that window of time to vote.  It goes ON RECORD, both how they voted or if they voted at all.  Accountability.

Before leaving Twitter, I used to follow Eric Brakey, the good senator from Maine who was blocked by Buckley.

One of his videos showed the Maine Senate voting just like the NH House. They have 35 members.

We have 24, and the clerk calls the roll, one at a time. Pay attention to the dynamics here. Carrie Gendreau will always vote first and Altschiller will always vote last.  This is the same for the executive council. Kenney will always vote first, and Wheeler will always vote last. In a body of 5, Wheeler has the opportunity to be a tiebreaker if one of his peers has already gone rogue with a vote.  The flip side is that Wheeler’s vote is rendered irrelevant if Kenney, Stevens, and Gatsas vote the same way.

Why am I boring you with all this civics?  It’s because the executive council has to vote on the judge nomination of the Gunstock accomplice, aka Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois.  Remember that this is a political favor from His Excellency for Livernois’s contribution to torpedoing NH’s reddest county. If you’re not up to speed on Gunstock, which the Damn Emperor prefers you not be, you can find intel here.

I emailed Wheeler shortly after Livernois’s January 31 nomination, which was at the same meeting as  Warmington’s most recent public meltdown.

At the end of the email, I said, “Please vote NO and encourage your peers to do the same.”  I published the open letter as a model for those with writer’s block, but personalizing an email to one’s elected is known to have a better chance of being read than copied and pasted activist group emails.  As voter number five in a ROLL CALL VOTE, Wheeler’s vote can potentially become irrelevant as I already noted.  He can’t block Livernois all by himself; therefore, it is important to get at least 2 of his peers on board. Kenney, who always votes first and was the lone dissenter against the approval of Anne Edwards’s judge appointment, would be a good person to target.  Kenney also recently made some public comments about wanting more “big government” in the form of snowmobile regulation on the heels of recent accidents involving rentals.

Politely point out that he is on notice.

Have you told YOUR executive councilor to vote NO yet?  If not, please do it now.  I suggest pointing out that it’s an election year.  Now it’s time to go follow up on Wheeler, who has a habit of ignoring my emails.

At Best “Collateral Damage” … At Worst Intentional

Granite Grok - Tue, 2024-02-27 01:00 +0000

The young lady murdered by an illegal in Georgia: to the globalists/corporatists, she was “collateral damage,” the price that unfortunately has to be paid to get the ruling elites the workers they demand. To the evil people running the Biden Regime and supporting the Biden Regime, she was nothing.

Because what really matters is that she had white skin, and people with white skin have oppressed people with non-white skin throughout history, and this is a small step to evening the score.

These people … the people inciting, encouraging, allowing, tolerating, etc., etc., etc. … are EVIL. You, your family, your friends mean NOTHING to them.

Not So Intelligent Design

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-02-26 23:00 +0000

The origin of life and the universe is not a typical water-cooler conversation, but in an increasingly secular world, nagging questions remain. Problems for which relativists, atheists, and secularists can’t answer with certainty. Well, no one can; that’s the beauty of mystery, but the uniqueness of reality suggests the need for more debate.

On the science side, there are variables that, if they were even the slightest bit different, suggest none of this nor any of us could exist. There’s a lot of luck involved or, as advocates would suggest, evidence of design. I’m sure it is also a “we don’t know what we don’t know” problem, so I’ll stray from that universe into one more my speed and still on topic (at least in the universe of my consciousness), using government in pursuit of progressive perfectionism.

There is an apolitical idea held by groups who are increasingly more secular than theist that someone (them, actually) can use their superpowers (legislation, rules, force of law, and even a police state) to usher in the utopia on earth. A perfectly functioning pile of millions of otherwise disparate moving bits that result in heaven on earth. A mortal political paradise – while you as an individual (in their context) are not allowed or perhaps even capable of knowing what your ideal life or world might look like. Despite the frightening similarities (homo sapiens sapiens), it is not within you to know how individual peace or prosperity might look. What it would feel like. In their mind, you are more likely a barrier on the road to utopia.

This perfect place can only be achieved by their design. A vision precipitated by their will into which you will confine yourself in deference to the illusion that they can not only know but make your life better, but each and every one of the over 300 million of you in the United States, at the same time.

For a bunch of secular humanists, this sounds very much like the theocracy that tells you to fear wherein you will play the role assigned so that you might one day achieve thanks to a government that always hunger, led by people who never starve, in pursuit of a perfection that never arrives.

The Intelligent design of an all-seeing oligarchic god-king without whom it would have been impossible.

The difference, of course, is the first cause. We do not know where all the matter in the universe came from or if there was a designer from where they came. Oligarchic god-kings or governments that behave like them are allowed to create themselves, and in our case, with the will or indifference of the people.

We allowed them to heap disdain on the paradise we had, a messy and imperfect arrangement but the best chance for true liberty in the arc of human history, whether you think it was ordained by God or not. In the end, the problem with people is always people who cannot imagine a power greater than themselves, whether it is the designer of the universe or their constituents.

Outlaw the EPA in NH

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-02-26 21:00 +0000

Imagine a Mosquito at a nudist colony that knows what to do but doesn’t know where to start. Kudos to State Rep. Michael Granger and the five co-sponsors who know where to start! Introducing HB1294 to Nullify the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in NH will preserve state sovereignty and nullify (EPA) regulation enforcement.

Rep. Granger needs your help to educate his colleagues to overcome decades of disinformation that has saturated our culture with doomsday scenarios. Among many other frightening projections, remember 1969’s Population Bomb dangers Paul Ehrlich predicted: The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970’s and 1980’s hundreds millions of people will starve …”! Prophetic nonsense, in 1975, from Nigel Calder of International Wildlife, warned: “The threat of a new ice age must now stand along side nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.”

Encroachments on our liberty ignited by loud voices of fear created the EPA. Environmental hysteria propagated EPA implemented false solutions, ostensibly to save the environment with an underlying cause to control people. The result: bureaucratic laws supersede our Bill of Rights protections. Fear of government must once again be viewed as Washington did: “…It’s a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” If government uses phony science and fear against the people, then certainly we can use the fear of truth about the EPA to save our liberty.

America’s survival needs pullers at the oars in the liberty boat. Consider this a call for emergency action. I am now using their tool of fear to motivate action from the reader. Freedom needs help to continue for posterity. Your involvement in helping push the “nullification” of the EPA’s unconstitutional usurpations of power will not stop accidentally. We need to confront these encroachments on our liberty by placing phone calls and emails demanding NH legislators pass HB 1294 to stop the EPA’s unconstitutional law. Ponder the thought of edicts from the EPA mandating another lockdown.

We need to build a fire in the minds of our State Rep”s and Senators with true facts to help Rep Granger pass HB 1294. Tell them our Bill of Rights have no emergency exceptions. Tell them they have the authority and duty to interface for “we the people” to protect our God-given inherent rights.

Nullification

Manchester VA Whistleblower Part 2: Federal Oversight of Manchester VA

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-02-26 19:00 +0000
“Report Wrongdoing.”

This is the message encouraging employees at the Manchester Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Medical Center to report violations of federal law, regulation, or policy. Several agencies are tasked with oversight of VA programs and investigation of complaints, including fraud, waste, abuse, and gross mismanagement.

After years of reporting issues to many members of leadership and their unwillingness to address the malfeasance and injustice that continued, I decided to become a whistleblower. Please read part one of this series for background information.

“Whistleblower”

This word seems to evoke fear in the hearts of Manchester VA employees.  I remember a colleague advising me not to talk about the 2015 whistleblower case around a manager who was well-known for retaliation.  Conversations about poor management often include lines such as: “They don’t work here anymore.  They were a whistleblower.”  Or, “Management made it known they didn’t like that person after the whistleblower case.”

Like-minded employees who shared my concerns seemed hesitant to talk after I revealed my whistleblowing to them, and for good reason.  I faced severe retaliation for reporting even minor concerns within Manchester, VA, and this evoked a sense of fear, preventing me from becoming a whistleblower sooner.  News stories about retaliation in the VA and this GAO report only serve to reinforce this fear. Related:Whistleblower: The Manchester VA is A Microcosm of Everything Wrong With the Federal Government.

Faced with an assortment of oversight agencies to choose from, I filed a whistleblower report with the Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection (OAWP).  Within a week I received an email from a representative who asked me for more information, which I provided extensive records with names and dates of each interaction with VA managers. What I did not know was that OAWP does not have investigative authority on most issues, and my case would be forwarded to the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

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

“Do Not Reply”

Once my case was forwarded to OIG, I was cut off from all human interaction.  I received emails only from a “Do Not Reply” email address informing me to use an online portal if I needed to submit more information.  I asked to remain anonymous until I could speak with someone from OIG, thinking there would be some sort of investigation at Manchester VA.  About a week later, OIG sent me an email stating they closed my case without investigation and forwarded the case to VA New England Headquarters.  The email indicated I could call this office for follow-up, but they cut and pasted the address and phone number from their own website.  The final email indicated there is no appeal process and seemed to discourage any further communication.  I made two attempts to call OIG, where a voice message tells the caller that OIG “does not respond to requests of status of complaints” and “we will only contact you if we close the case or need more information.”  The emails had similar wording, stating you may never hear from anyone.  When I did speak with the telephone representative, I asked if I could have a point of contact at the New England Office to follow up.  I was informed they could not provide any information and I could file a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Transparency

When I filed FOIA requests, I was sent only my emails back to me after requesting all files in my case.  They even had the audacity to redact my own name and email address. At one point, a FOIA officer called me and attempted to talk me out of asking for more information.  I sent a letter of appeal asking for a case file as to understand better how the decisions were made and to ensure all documents were transferred from the multiple agencies involved.  The FOIA officer’s letter back to me, citing the many exceptions to FOIA, case law, and the privacy act, effectively stifled any hope for transparency.  Why did they tell me to file a FOIA request in the first place?  When I called the New England VA Headquarters, nobody returned my call.

Questions

Unsure if my concerns for the care of our nation’s Veterans would ever be addressed, I reached out to another whistleblower who informed me they had the same experience with different agencies handing off complaints to each other and no resolution.  It seems the agencies tasked with oversight and investigation do not feel the need to speak with whistleblowers.  They don’t feel the need to validate concerns brought to them or give any assurance that those concerns will be investigated or addressed in any way.  When one agency hands the case off to another, they close the case and provide no follow-up.  In my case, the oversight agency sent the case back to the same agency I filed the complaint about in the first place (or so I thought … more on that in part 3).

Are our elected representatives in Washington, DC, aware of this issue?  In part 3 of this series, I will reveal my interactions with their staff members.

MONDAY MEMES

Granite Grok - Mon, 2024-02-26 17:00 +0000

Announcing the 100th – official – MONDAY MEME post. At least, per the number in the link.

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

Amen.

Let me be clear: Consenting adults in the privacy of their own home?  Straight, gay, whatever?  Not my business.  You recruit kids, let alone maim, etc., kids?  My business.

 

 

 

 

Let me be clear: When VAIDS truly strikes en masse, there will be people I will mourn.  And some, I’ll pop open a bottle of bubbly.

A Canadian High School sent students home with condoms, wooden penises, and a sexually explicit pornographic book about gay sex as part of its sex education curriculum, according to Reduxx.

The incident occurred at Virden Collegiate Institute in Manitoba, Canada.

Janine Stephanie Penner, the mother of one of the teen students who received the items, documented the controversy in a Facebook post on Feb. 19. Penner explained that her son in grade 10 was given a “gay porn graphic flip book at school as a method of learning how to use condoms and in addition, received 15 condoms and a wooden pecker for practice.”

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.
