In the world of international diplomacy, secrets have a way of unraveling. Leaked emails and reports have recently unveiled a clandestine Iranian operation known as the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI). This covert endeavor, designed to cultivate support for Iran’s nuclear program, has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power.

But that’s just the beginning.

Within this revelation, another thread has emerged – the involvement of key figures from the Biden administration with the IEI. This revelation raises profound questions about foreign influence and its implications on U.S. policy.

The IEI, previously shrouded in secrecy, has now been exposed for what it is – a covert Iranian operation. Its primary objective? To garner international support for Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This revelation adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing global discussions about Iran’s nuclear program.

The involvement of Biden administration aides with the IEI is a central theme. These individuals, working within the highest echelons of the U.S. government, had ties to the IEI. The nature of these links and their implications on U.S. policy decisions remain under scrutiny.

The IEI was not limited to a single sphere of influence. It infiltrated academia, leveraging the credibility of scholars to propagate its agenda. Meanwhile, sympathetic journalists played their part, shaping public perception subtly. Think tanks, known for their role in policymaking, were strategically targeted. Case studies vividly illustrate the IEI’s success in influencing policy decisions. And it didn’t stop there; former government officials transitioning into advocacy roles created conflicts and ethical dilemmas that continue to raise eyebrows.

The Biden administration’s approach to Iran stands in stark contrast to previous administrations. It is marked by a commitment to re-engage with the Islamic Republic of Iran, a notable departure from the aggressive stance of the past. This shift in policy has not only raised eyebrows. Still, it has caused genuine concern among policymakers and the public, who worry about potential risks and the implications of this new direction, making it a central point of debate in the broader context of U.S. foreign policy.

Amidst these revelations, the potential for undue influence on U.S. policy looms large. The need to mitigate foreign impact is paramount, echoing concerns about the integrity of policymaking. It’s a complex issue with no easy answers.

Ariane Tabatabai’s Controversy

As this international intrigue unfolds, Ariane Tabatabai, a former Georgetown University security studies professor and current senior adviser to the U.S. Department of Defense, finds herself at the center of a heated controversy. Genuine concern has arisen regarding her purported ties to Iranian regime influence networks and her security clearance.

The acquisition of her security clearance remains a shadowy enigma, with scant details emerging. Yet, one report suggests that her connections to the Islamic Republic networks managed to evade detection during the clearance process.

The security clearance saga erupted in April 2021 when a group of U.S. lawmakers demanded the revocation of Tabatabai’s clearance, citing her involvement in an “Iranian influence network” that they believed endangered national security.

Fast forward to September 2023, and Republican lawmakers intensify the call. They demand an investigation into Islamic Republic-backed influence operations on U.S. soil, advocating the suspension of clearances for officials, including Tabatabai, potentially swayed by these networks.

In response, Tabatabai can only refute these allegations. She tries to label them “baseless and unfounded,” portraying them as part of a “smear campaign” orchestrated by lawmakers seeking to undermine the Biden administration’s diplomacy with Iran’s regime, yet providing no clear explanations for the accusations.

And yet, despite the ongoing furor, Tabatabai’s security clearance endures as of September 2023, and surprisingly, she remains a senior adviser within the U.S. Department of Defense.

It’s not just her alleged ties to Iran’s regime influence networks that have been scrutinized. The accusations against her are part of a broader discourse surrounding U.S. policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran. Some U.S. officials and lawmakers contend that the Biden administration’s stance is overly lenient, failing to adequately support the Iranian people’s battle for democracy and human rights. Conversely, others advocate for diplomatic engagement and peaceful resolution in the U.S.-Iran relationship.

This exposure of the Iran Experts Initiative raises critical questions about foreign influence on U.S. policy. Whether through academia, media, think tanks, or former officials, vigilance is imperative to maintain the integrity of U.S. policymaking in a complex and interconnected world.

As for Ariane Tabatabai’s security clearance acquisition remains opaque, while her ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran influence networks kindle a political storm. Lawmakers’ calls for revocation have yet to bear fruit, and she continues her work at the U.S. Department of Defense. This controversy also mirrors broader debates on U.S. policy towards Iran, illustrating today’s complexity of international diplomacy.

So, you may have seen/heard about the mob of illegals who attacked a cop in New York. The illegals were released immediately by some Regime “judge,” and then at least one of them flipped the bird to America.

We are witnessing the destruction of America by the Biden-Regime, and the Senate GOP response is to legalize the invasion and tell GOP voters, whom Mitch and his ilk detest and believe are stupid, that their amnesty bill will reduce illegal immigration. And, if you have been paying attention as opposed to mindlessly seal-clapping every time Nikki Haley praises forever wars, you know that illegal immigration is just one of the many ways the Biden-Regime is destroying America.

Now contrast the special treatment of the criminal illegal with the treatment of the former marine who in the past would have been treated as a hero but, in today’s faux-America, is the criminal:

One of these people is in our county illegally, beat up cops, and was released without bail.

The other is a former Marine who protected riders on a subway from a violent psycho, is facing criminal charges, and was released on a $100,000 bail.

But just keep on pretending that none of this is happening, keep pretending that the vital issues of our day are eviscerating local zoning laws (so we can have more and more and more apartment complexes, which somehow is not “massing up” New Hampshire), and cutting business taxes (while local property taxes spiral out of control), and some minor increase in funding in school choice (while public schools continue DEI indoctrination).

America is no more. Our rolling over to COVID-tyranny and then reelecting the COVID-tyrants showed that. Our acceptance of the rigging of the 2020 election showed that. Our pretending that the Biden-Regime’s pathologies are mere incompetence shows that.

Chuck Schumer has found his latest cause to give the American people the impression that he is looking out for their safety. Schumer has gone on the record, with the required number of Democrats nodding heads surrounding him, that he is declaring war on nicotine pouches. The Senate Majority Leader singled out ZYN pouches, but he included all brands of the pouches in his sortie.

Schumer showed by his actions and comments that he is poorly prepared to talk about this nicotine product that is regulated for adult use. With the resources available for members of Congress, you would think nobody should ever embarrass themselves with unfounded comments or crusades, especially the Senate Leader, but you would be wrong.

Before I get into Chuck’s misinformation, can we look at the other issues facing Americans that were pushed aside so Schumer could focus on nicotine pouches and addictions? How about the Border crisis? Schumer has been sitting on HR2, which is a border and immigration bill passed by the House in 2023. Chuck will not bring the bill to the floor for debate. But the Democrats, including the compulsive liar Karine Jeanne-Pierre, continue to say the Republicans have no solution for the border crisis. How about the Fentanyl crisis? We are still losing 100,000 prime-age Americans annually, but all the Dems are doing is asking China to scale back on production. How about sealing the Border so we stop the flow of illegal Fentanyl from Mexico? These issues must be too difficult for the feeble Senator from New York. So, he will put his energy into nicotine pouches and restrict the freedoms of adults who use and enjoy this product. This control of our lives is what Democrats crave. They do not preserve our freedoms and liberties but rather find ways to restrict or regulate them.

What are nicotine pouches? They are not a tobacco product and are not a carcinogen. These pouches are predominantly a mixture of salt and a dose of nicotine. The pouches are usually available in either 4 or 8mg concentrations of nicotine and are available in various flavors. Most states use age restrictions for tobacco as a guideline for nicotine sales, making the nicotine pouches unavailable to minors. That is not enough for Schumer, who wants the sale of nicotine pouches prohibited for everyone, period. He has unleashed a battle from the millions of users who are of age and enjoy this product.

Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs known. Just ask anyone who has tried to quit smoking. Nicotine is the ingredient that makes cigarettes so addictive to smokers. There are no tobacco ingredients in Nicotine pouches. Nicotine pouches can raise heart rates and cause a rise in blood pressure, but they also can cause an increase in attention span and mental acuity. Adult users are aware of the issues and, as adults, want to decide whether to use or not. They do not want the government, and certainly not Chuck Schumer, making that decision for them.

Martha’s Vineyard is a remarkable place—a quaint little island of elites where the median home price is around 1.5 million. Barry Obama has a massive estate there, as do many well-heeled elites (despite the alleged risk of rising sea levels). And now they are eligible for subsidies (your money, not theirs) to add EV charging infrastructure.

The Biden administration is classifying some of the country’s most elite and exclusive locales as “low-income” areas, making them eligible for electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidy programs.

The administration’s EV charger tax credit program — made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill — is specifically designed to route subsidies to “low-income” or “non-urban” areas of the country. The “low-income” emphasis for eligibility aligns in spirit with the Biden administration’s wider pursuit of so-called “environmental justice,” which is effectively the combination of social justice ideology and green policy.

The handouts reduce the cost of EV charging infrastructure (public or private) in low-income or non-urban areas by about a third, including the Vineyard and Nantucket – where median home prices are a hair over 2 million). And doesn’t that make good sense?

Elite enclaves are where the EVs would be. Few others can afford them or have the disposable income to embrace their impracticality. Martha’s Vineyard isn’t large so a full charge could last long enough to virtue signal to all the neighbors. Many of its more well-heeled inhabitants are elsewhere during the colder months when EVs lose range, not that these aren’t much more than yard sculptures for many. Parked out front (putting them in the garage is dangerous) to be observed by guests holding half-filled glasses of chardonnay and a small plate of whatever was on the last charcuterie board they passed.

A Mercedes EQE or the BMW i7. Rarer, perhaps, if the ferry has stopped allowing EVs on the boat because of the liability costs (I didn’t look).

And sure, the average denizen of Martha’s Vineyard could easily afford to pay for the charging equipment if they wanted it or pool some resources for public chargers, but why waste the funds appropriated by Congress for chargers if no one in low-income areas can afford an EV aor where EV owners would not be caught dead?

Some animals, or so the saying goes.

I want to get the word out in the public square right now, fresh off the heels of that horrible HB 1002 House roll call, because time has a habit of making people forget things, and candidacy filing time is not for another four months.

Every intelligent person knows that the muzzled Baby Shamu must NOT be allowed to stay in Gary Daniels’s seat, but what are her constituents going to do about it? My preference, as an outsider, is to convince Gary that his services are desperately needed. There has to be a variety of ways to do that, and people close to him should have that conversation.

However, in the event that he opts to remain a private citizen, something people approaching 70 are known to do after a resume rich in public service, a Plan B is needed. I had a conversation with a suitable potential candidate outside of Merrimack last summer, but this person was not interested and cited some practical reasons not to be the one. There’s Milford Rep Vanessa Sheehan, a nice lady that I met at Fulchino Vineyard for a Lily Tang Williams event. There’s also Merrimack Rep Jeanine Notter, someone well-liked by her peers with lots of name recognition. One might even look to private citizens from Amherst, possibly Lynn “Just Jocelyn” Briggs or Linda Kaiser. Who NOT to promote is Bill Boyd, and here are some reasons why:

Bill has proven himself anti-RTK with his vote in favor of the “RTK records tax” yesterday, as did 2 of his local peers.

One of them was Rep Maureen Mooney, a LAWYER, mind you. And the other was Rep Healey. Rep Healey and Nashua City Clerk Healey might share the same anti-RTK DNA. Someone should file a bill to fund a “23 and Me” study on that.

Bill Boyd also voted NO on HB 1131 2 years ago. This was the school mask bill that the Damn Emperor vetoed. The House roll call occurred sometime in April 2022 because I remember confronting Bill about his rogue vote at the May 1 Merrimack GOP soiree outside the Exit 11 Mexican joint. I started the unpleasant conversation with Melissa Blasek present, and she stepped in to finish it. It was good to have her handy as another Merrimack rep to talk to him as his equal.

Shortly after Bill Boyd won his April 13, 2021, special election to fill the seat vacated by the untimely death of Speaker Hinch, he voted the wrong way on an election-related matter. See this link.

Like a rap sheet, um, I mean “resume,” his misdeeds are listed in chronological order. The last one I’ll mention took place before he was elected. Chris Buda sent up the GOP “bat signal,” kind of like what firemen would call “mutual aid,” in the late winter of 2021. He announced the upcoming Merrimack special election and out-of-town help was being sought. I signed up to lend a hand and participated in a Saturday morning dump sign wave. I met Melissa and many other at-the-time Merrimack reps.

Bill arrived and graciously greeted me and said thanks for the help. As it’s common for governors to endorse special election candidates, the Damn Emperor endorsed Bill. I casually mentioned that, but I said something like, “Ooo, an endorsement from the Tyrant himself.” Bill defended His Excellency with a sheepish “he’s not a tyrant” rebuttal. I told him I knew he had to be on his best behavior in order to get elected and gestured with a wink and a nod. Instead of a wink and a nod back, he looked at me funny as though he was seriously in denial of what a POS Baby Huey really is.

And I’ll finish by saying it again. Bill Boyd does NOT belong in the Senate. He will always do Jeb’s bidding, and he has enough water carriers already.

The post Bill Boyd Is Not “Senate-Worthy,” Don’t Even Think About It, Merrimack! appeared first on Granite Grok.

Be it noted that Deputy AG Geoffrey Ward deleted the files of 28+ police officer files relating to the Laurie List. This occurred after a letter I had written to John Scippa of police standards and training regarding concerns about Concord Police Detective Julie Curtin which he told me he was forwarding to to the AG’s office.

Assistant AG Jane Young replied to me, stating that Geoffrey Ward would respond, but he did not. Rep. Susan Homola followed up as well with his office using the pretext that Assistant AG Jane Young had assured me that there would be a response. She received no reply either, and then Geoffrey Ward deleted the files of 28 police officers, and Julie Curtin left Concord Police Department after 15+ years with no explanation.

Geoffrey Ward is now a federal prosecutor, and Jane Young is now US Attorney for New Hampshire. New Hampshire’s Supreme Court Chief Justice is former AG Gordon MacDonald who argued that the Laurie list should not be made public in August 2018 when Julie Curtin and James F McLaughlin were working for him and Jane Young on the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Pauls School – paid for by the public. Gordon MacDonald knew that James F McLaughlin’s name was on the Laurie list in August 2018 but he hid it.

He knew that Julie Curtin had obtained student files without a warrant at his office’s direction from St Paul’s School and he knew that her sworn affidavit used to obtain records for NH v Owen Labrie contained a lie which was corrected by the SANE nurse, under oath, in the criminal trial. Despite all of this, the State still uses Detective Julie Curtin as a witness in State trials, and the State continues to hide the records of Police Detective James F McLaughlin.

My research concludes that public officials are covering up nefarious activities in which they have profited using public funds and that the reason for hiding these records is due to their desire to prevent the public from discovering this. They are public officials, paid for by the public and they have NO right to hide their activities from the public or their financial dealings – kick backs, secret deals, for profit enterprises hiding behind non-profit fronts.

The state is also hiding )or playing dumb about) evidence regarding witness tampering in the trial of NH v Owen Labrie by former AG Michael Delaney with state witnesses who were then allowed to provide testimony after Prosecutor Catherine Ruffle was informed by Concord Councilwoman Amanda Grady Sexton of the tampering. The records of this sit with the US Senate Judiciary Committee and are corroborated by a conversation Prosecutor Ruffle had with Judge Larry Smukler which was unsealed several months after the trial. At the moment of their unsealing, Ruffle claimed she had misspoken and retracted her comments. She is now a clerk for Merrimack County Superior Court. But the fact that there was witness tampering has been supported by at least two other documents from both the state witness’s family and the defense’s counsel.

The State of New Hampshire and its public officials are complicit in the abuse of public funds to deceive the public to cover up a racketeering enterprise that is the result of collusion between Concord Council members, Concord Police, Merrimack County prosecutors and court personnel, the AG’s office, the NHCADSV, UNH PIRC, Franklin Pierce Law School, the judiciary committee and law firms Shaheen & Gordon, McLane Middleton, Nixon Peabody and others.

Why should the public pay for publicly elected officials to racketeer and then collude to hide their actions that have interfered with the criminal and civil justice system and abused federal grants?

The state has ignored millions of complaints by members of the public. Why should the public have to pay to gain access to the state’s deliberate failures and cover ups – eg the FRM Ponzi Scheme, the Diocese of Manchester/Police/ YDC abuse cover ups or instructions to the DCYF to delete files re YDC, Phillips Exeter Academy or elsewhere?

Yesterday, I placed a mid-size donation into a fund that seeks to reimburse US Border agents and soldiers who choose to continue their work in an alliance with the Texas Guard or the volunteer groups now establishing themselves to protect Americans’ lives and property.

The ongoing opposition of Texas to the feds on the border issue and where is Trump, why is he not capitalizing on this issue? Does POTUS have authority to stop States’ National Guards from going to another State to enforce the border; the proposed deal in the senate to allow more immigrants in; should Trump do more to raise the enthusiasm of the republican voters? How important is the upcoming special congressional election on February 13th in Nassau County, NY? Severe prison sentences for pro-lifers vs light or no sentences for BLM peaceful protesters? Should Trump more publicly protect and stand up for Peter Navarro?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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