In Daniel Webster’s eulogy of George Washington, Webster praised our first President’s concern that posterity would forget the blessing of liberty our Constitution is to our nation. “He invokes a respect for our Constitution and issues a solemn duty in watching over it carefully — in words so beautiful as to bring tears to our eyes.” Due respect for this blessed heritage was lacking in the NH’s legislature when HCR 40 passed an application calling for a constitutional convention (ConCon) to ratify a Balance The Budget Amendment in 2012. State Rep. Nikki McCarter has sponsored HCR 9 that would rescind New Hampshire’s sole live application for a ConCon.

Human nature is prone to selfish deception to achieve personal goals. Organizations with six-figure lobbyist salaries, such as the Convention of States (COS) & Wolf PAC, have wined and dined many state legislators to convince them to sponsor their cause. Instead of pursuing the Article V process, that has given us the first 27 Amendments, they have promoted the dangerous ConCon method to fix the Constitution. They blame the Constitution for the federal abuse of power caused by politicians who ignore its limits.

Money buys support, but truth begets true believers. The grassroots voice of freedom, the John Birch Society (JBS), comprised of 99% volunteers in their educational army, has opposed and stopped this deceptive narrative throughout the nation. For over four decades, I have been in this battle for truth to preserve the Constitution. At JBS, we say, “The Constitution isn’t broken; it just needs to be obeyed.” Naturally, everyone is for a balanced budget. People then argue it is the Constitution’s fault and one amendment will fix the problem when thousands of violations of it each year are causing a 34 trillion dollar debt to fund unconstitutional wars, foreign aid, and unlimited bureaucracies. Politicians love this lie that hides their big spending. Orwell exposes how the mind is conditioned to accept what is not true: “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie becomes truth.”

The crux of this issue requires a lot of history going back to the 1787 ConCon that set the precedent of a runaway convention. All states under the Articles of Confederation (AC) sent delegates to the 1787 ConCon with commissions to amend the AC. Delegates Pinckney from SC and Eldrige of MA said the delegates do not have the authority to go beyond their state’s mandate to amend the AC. Madison and the Virginia delegation decided to appeal to a higher authority, as the signers of The Declaration of Independence did: “They chose to exercise the transient and precious right of the people to abolish or alter their governments “ When the God-given rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are denied: “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, …”

Historically, Americans have been blessed with more freedom than any people who have walked the face of the earth. Obviously, this issue is deep.

Congressional leaders are sitting down with Dementia Joe to talk about how to spend your money. If you have been following along, you know that starting this Friday, the US Government may partially shut down. Congress has not yet agreed on a new funding deal (as I write this) for the federal government for the rest of 2024.

This joy ride started back in September when the full year’s funding bills should have been passed. But leaders couldn’t agree on the amounts. Since they’ve kicked the can down the road every few months, setting a new deadline each time. Now, we’re approaching the March 1st deadline. So far, it doesn’t look good.

Mr. Biden and Senate Majority Leader Schumer want a lot of spending on lots of things. They want $95B for the wars in Ukraine and Israel. House Speaker Mike Johnson and his party want less spending, especially for those foreign wars. We have a $34T national debt, record annual deficits, and record interest payments on that debt. We cannot afford all the wants.

The interest payments on that debt will be greater this year than the entire US military budget. That’s a wake-up point; enough! The Congressional Budget Office agrees with Speaker Johnson. Their analysis is that America’s national debt will reach $54T within the next six years.

The Penn Wharton School, too, says it’s true. The big debt load means the US will likely be insolvent by the year 2040. Not bothered by facts and data, Mr. Biden and Mr. Schumer insist on more spending. Sen. Schumer says opposition to further spending means you’re an extremist.

Mr. Johnson, not pleased by that rhetoric, says the shutdown starts Friday, if there is one, and the responsibility for the shutdown belongs to the Democrats. He points out that during recent negotiations, Mr. Schumer suddenly said he wanted more spending this year on new additional priorities.

We’ve got three days for Congress to pass at least 12 budget bills, or the shutdown begins. Can they do it? Some House Republicans say a minibus deal can be used. Others say they should kick the can again until April.

Those who care about the future of America say it’s time to shut down the Government and reset our priorities. They want to shock the American people with how bad the fiscal crisis really is. It’s time for DC to finally be honest with the American people. Yes, even if it means doing something unpopular.

America’s biggest budget items, by far, are Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. If DC is serious about cutting the federal budget and reversing that debt crisis, this means we have to change laws and start cutting or limiting those programs. Virtually every American will be affected, especially retirees.

That is why nobody in DC really wants to talk about the federal debt, deficit, and record interest payments. Sacrifice is not a popular idea. Those are the facts on this evolving budget crisis.

As it turns out, promising lots of free stuff to everybody is really easy. Paying for it, however, is not so easy. In fact, we can’t pay for it unless we take on more debt, massively cut spending, or jack up taxes. That’s the ugly political and financial reality this morning.

There’s no easy answer that comes without pain and sacrifice. That’s the honest reality nobody in Washington DC really wants to talk about, and certainly not in a Presidential Election Year. So, we should expect more lying and political theater over the coming days.

At the end of the day, there won’t be any material progress on deficits or debt. At most, we’ll see some version of “can kicking” that will push this problem down that road. But you have to know, at some point, there’s no road left. That’s when your kids and grandkids are stuck with the nightmare we’re seeing in places like Argentina and Venezuela.

As schools begin the shift to providing mental health services, parents need to be aware of some big problems that have been uncovered. Personally identifiable mental health information on students has already been shared, but schools are still failing to acquire informed parental consent for their child’s mental health assessments and services.

SEL is a way to shift more time away from learning the academic content. You can see in this video how the gatekeepers of the SEL programs admit that teachers are no longer important. Your kids can just learn that stuff on the internet. GO HERE.

This request for an investigation into what is going on in Merrimack was sent to The New Hampshire Department of education. Parents need to be informed and consent to all of these mental health programs and services offered by school counselors.

1st Request for Documentation:

Dear Superintendent Olsen:

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA, 91-1), I am requesting public access, within 5 business days, to the governmental records:

1) A copy of any parental permission slips for teachers to assess students using the DESSA. A copy of any parental permission slips for students to participate in the Second Step SEL program.

2) Copies of all SEL competencies or competencies related to social and emotional learning. (eg: Social Skills)

3) Documents showing where SEL/Social Skills competencies have been sent or will be sent. Colleges, etc.

Per RSA 91-A:4IV(C) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, available for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.

Please let me know when these records are available for inspection or you may email the records to me at Banfieldannmarie@gmail.com.

TRUST REQUIRES TRANSPARENCY

Ann Marie Banfield

2) REPLY BACK TO ME by SUPERINTENDENT:

Good morning Ann Marie,

I am submitting my response to your RSA 91-1 Right To Know Request. The attachment addresses your first request. With regard to your second and third request, my response to both is that the District does not maintain SEL competencies, or competencies related to social and emotional learning and thus has no responsive records.

Regards,

Everett Olsen

Chief Education Officer

SKM_C754e24022312280

3) FORWARD to NH Dept. of Ed for an INVESTIGATION:
Dear Ms. Fenton,

Please see the forwarded email from Superintendent Olsen, along with the documents I requested in my 91-a. 

I am asking you to open an investigation into the failure to secure informed parental consent before screening students with the DESSA- Devereux Student Strengths Assessment. It appears that the district required consent once the screening was completed to see if parents approved of additional support for their children.

As you know, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires informed consent by parents when children are assessed or receive mental health services from their school district. While I can appreciate that a consent form was sent to approve of additional services, I believe consent should also be required when their children were screened. 
Second Step includes SEL but also Transformative SEL which crosses over into political activism.

As you can see from the attached documents, the teacher will be covering serious mental health issues like managing stress and anxiety.

Aperture, the maker of the DESSA, includes their privacy policy here. Parents in the district are now raising concerns over what we see is a lack of security with the personal student data they collect and store. For instance, the privacy policy states that while financial payment information will be safely encrypted, it does not say the same about student data. 

Parents do not know what actual data is being collected, with what third parties it is being shared, and how it is being secured.

What happens if, through the screener, a student is experiencing emotional distress? The DESSA tool is supposed to help schools identify students who might need additional social and emotional health support so that they can ensure students have access to the right services and are getting the help they need.

Who has access to all of this personal mental health data? Where is it stored? Has Keene State BHII or any of the former universities accessed this sensitive information?

A New Hampshire physician wrote in The Wall Street Journal about how teachers are now performing mental health screenings using the DESSA. This is all done without parental knowledge or consent.

It was Marc Kirsch, who was Director of Sales & Business Development for Aperture Education, who confirmed for me in 2017 that the DESSA was a mental health assessment. Aperture even markets that “students have experienced a dramatic increase in mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression and behavior disorders. School-based programs focused on building social and emotional skills can proactively support students’ mental health.”

It even appears that you can get a psych degree in a one-day seminar.
Paul LeBuffe is the Vice President for Research and Development for Aperture Education (Apertureed.com). He is a graduate of St. Mary’s College of Maryland and received his Master’s degree in experimental psychology from Bryn Mawr College. For the past 25 years, Paul’s career has focused on strength-based approaches to promoting social and emotional competence and resilience in children, youth, and the adults who care for them. 



My first interaction with SEL was with a New Hampshire teacher several years ago when she sent me this:

DESSA is a program that allows teachers to enter and track student social and emotional behaviors in order to flag and group students for intervention.   I’m a huge tech person; but this type of tracking of data makes me extremely nervous.  First, because even physicians don’t track data like this over this long of time, and second because the data could be used (potentially) against a child later in life (ie college applications), and third, because a data breach on a system like this wouldn’t take much.   It’s VERY concerning to me, and because it’s teachers making the observations and entering data, it’s really flying under the radar, but is becoming more and more promoted and used especially in this area.  If ever there was something to get after, it’s programs such as this one.
I think if parents saw samples of the questions and the data that it feeds back, they would be totally against it. 
 I believe the info is fed to the DESSA servers. Where it goes from there, not sure exactly – that’s part of the issue. It’s made to track kids across settings and flag high risk kids…so I believe the intent is to store data for access beyond district walls As a teacher I’d like to refuse taking this info from my students. Can I refuse this as a professional?


In addition, as you will see by Superintendent Olsen’s reply, he said:
”With regard to your  second and third request, my response to both is that the District does not maintain SEL competencies, or competencies related to social and emotional learning and thus has no responsive records.”

As you can see from the file attached titled Merrimack-NH-School-District-SAU26- Essential Learning Competencies, on page 4 titled Subject Area: Characteristics of a Successful Learning, there are competencies listed as part of the Second Step SEL program.  This document was not provided to me in Mr. Olsen’s reply to my 91-a.
Merrimack-NH-School-District-SAU26-Essential-Learning-Competencies

I’m also attaching a file that is from a newsletter provided to parents explaining what will be covered in their child’s social and emotional class. This was sent to me by another source. If you scroll down that document, you will see that they are working on “managing anxiety,” among other mental health issues.
Newsletters (1)

The concerns I’ve raised have been many. For instance, will any of this data be used to deny a child a career in the military when they are older?

Informed parental consent was added to the federal law for good reason. Child Psychologists understand the importance of privacy and informed consent, and It’s why they should be the ones administering mental health assessments and treatments to children–not teachers and school counselors.

Please review the information I provided.

Thank you
Ann Marie Banfield

Unless you are on the far-Left of the political spectrum, you have NO representation in the United States Congress. New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation … Shaheen, Hassan, Kuster and Pappas … can vote like the obedient Communist-bots they are up to a few months before an election at which point, like a chameleon, they become “moderates” and “bipartisan” in the reporting of Fake News WMUR, NHPR and the rest of the deep BLUE media in the deep BLUE State of New Hampshire.

(As a parenthetical note, non-Communists in CD-1 had a chance to actually have a competitive district … but the mighty Sun-King, Chris Sununu, vetoed the GOP-drawn map because Sununu is far more Democrat than he is Republican.)

Maggie Hassan recently visited Ukraine to shill for the military-industrial complex … repeating the same nonsense that the warmongers have been repeating for years; for example: Ukraine has “degraded” Russian military and they just need a little bit more “aid” (American MONEY) to finish the job, yet SIMULTANEOUSLY this degraded Russian military is going to somehow conquer all of Europe if we don’t “aid” Ukraine.

Maggie Hassan is an ideologue/grifter. She votes exactly how her Communist “leadership” tells her to vote because in her mind a vote that advances Communism is good for New Hampshire. Hence America going further into debt to support that Corruptocracy called Ukraine because the Communists in the Deep State are obsessed with conquering Russia is good for New Hampshire. And while she and the rest of the delegation bankrupt America, they enrich themselves.

Compare Jeannie Shaheenie’s net worth when she entered Congress with her net worth today. And then explain to me how she made all those millions on a Senator’s salary. Salva Ukraine! Salva Ukraine! Salva Ukraine!

Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on.  Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic hatred of Jews and why that matters to today’s events.

Israel has to be very careful with the idea of a ‘Palestinian’ state.

Muslim terrorists on Oct. 7 at rally point (rumble.com)

The video begins at a gathering point for a huge force of Hamas Terrorists in a nature reserve west of Kibbutz Beeri, seemingly where they met after crossing the fence Once the Toyota begins to drive, we can hear the euphoria in their voices ahead of the crimes they are about to commit.

Here are a few excerpts from what they say to each other as they speed towards Israeli communities:

(01:30): “Oh, the weather is great!”

(02:06): “This is the hour for Jihad! This is the hour for Jihad!”

(02:15): They taunt [Israeli prime minister] Netanyahu.

(02:20): “My God is generous with us! In the name of God we will succeed!”

(02:37): “It will take them two years… no…. 20 million years to figure out what happened here!”

(03:00): “We must livestream it on the GoPro! It’s a must!”…. “Don’t worry, this will be seen live so everyone [in Gaza] will follow us!”

At (03:20), the Hamas Terrorists arrive at Kibbutz Be’eri, the site of one of the worst massacres. They begin to scream out, “BE’ERI, BE’ERI!” while laughing uncontrollably.
(03:50): “Walla, I will die a holy death!… God be with us!”
(03:59): “Send anyone and everyone our way! Oh Allah, the Great!”

At (04:27), they approach road 232, and we can hear the driver screaming, “Where is [the city of] Netivot?”

At (04:48), We can hear the driver start to sing a jihadist song, “Qariban Qariban,” which was famously adopted by ISIS. After he finishes singing, the driver stops to shoot intensely at an Israeli civilian car.

At (05:45), the driver sees a family station wagon approaching down the road. We can hear the driver say, “Give him lead Mahmoud!” The terrorists then fire assault rifles, an RPG, and a heavy machine gun at it until finally they approach the vehicle.

At (07:20), the terrorist says, “Clean it [the vehicle] out! Clean it out!”

The driver’s fate is unclear.

PALLYWOOD & MEDIA DISTORTIONS/LIES IN GENERAL

Last week I did this post showing how Gaza is, absolutely and without any doubt by anyone with three brain cells that speak to each other, NOT an “open air prison” or “concentration camp”:

Pre-War “Concentration Camp” Gaza – Granite Grok

I just rediscovered this video – “Thanks Hamas”.  Look at all that’s in Gaza – or was.  NOT the “concentration camp” that is claimed:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Thank-You-Hamas.mp4

 

Nice buildings, clean streets in good repair, greenery, markets full of food, maintained beaches, hospital halls, water parks / amusement parks, restaurants & hotels, kids rollerblading… every single second of this video gives absolute lie to the idea of a “concentration camp”.  Here’s another video:

 

https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/where-is-the-concentration-camp.mp4

 

Now comes this article:

Countering ‘Pro-Palestine’ Propaganda Part 5: Gaza is an Open-Air Prison :: Middle East Forum (meforum.org)

The evidence is there, right before your eyes.  The problem is demoralization, as described by Yuri Bezmenov (link only):

Yuri Bezmenov – How To Demoralize A Nation. (youtube.com)

And Sowell:

 

 

With a parallel word from fiction:

“Never underestimate the power of the human mind to believe what it wants to believe, no matter the conflicting evidence.”

― Brian Herbert, House Harkonnen

Because that belief, tying in with Sowell, makes the believer feel virtuous.  And, having tied that virtue to a specific belief, the belief is engraved in their minds lest – in actually assimilating contradictory information and having to reconcile it against their beliefs – they slide to undermining their belief in themselves as virtuous.  The vast majority of people do not have the strength of character to make that self-assessment / self-correction.  Thus they reject anything that would call into question their virtue.

I, personally, have seen this in action multiple times.  For example, in a “discussion” a few years ago about abortion and Planned Parenthood with a loonie-leftie fellow Yid coworker, I said that Sanger sp0ke at Klan rallies.  He didn’t believe it.  I pulled up proof on the computer – a picture of her at a Klan rally.  He literally stared and refused to believe it, actively called it a fake, even when I found a newspaper article giving background on the event.  For him to acknowledge this would undermine his faith that abortion was good.  So he rejected it in toto lest his view of himself, in supporting abortion, be undermined by the realization of abortion’s racist roots.

The World Prepares to Recognize a Hamas Palestinian State (jihadwatch.org)

The Biden administration also wanted Israel to defeat Hamas, but not to defeat it too much.

The administration is worried that if Israel wins in Rafah, it will win too much and be much less interested in its diplomatic solution of creating a “Palestinian” state which it believes is the real solution to the conflict. And it needs Hamas to provide pressure on Israel to create such a state.

The same failed idea that has haunted the region for decades is that Islamic terrorism can only be defeated by giving the terrorists some, but not all, of what they want. Much as it did not occur to the State Department that the Taliban would want everything, it refuses to believe that Hamas would want everything. And every time the negotiations fall apart, history is rewritten again.

In an article published in early October, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan described the negotiations that had brought peace between Hamas and Israel. “We have de-escalated crises in Gaza,” he boasted. The online version of the article has been edited to remove those words.

A lifeline to terrorists.

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST

In the Middle East, You Win with Fear :: Middle East Forum (meforum.org)

Only a crushing and devastating blow to Hamas will pave the way for a truce that would not be a victory for the terrorists. Such a truce would survive much longer than a half-baked truce that survives only several months until another extortion scheme.

I keep saying this.  I will continue to say this.  Peace with a hostile enemy is only possible once they’ve been crushed.  And it is critical to understand the culture: to them, mercy and such are signs of weakness to be exploited until you get the upper hand.

Know your enemy.

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

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

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

Nikki Haley may need to find another war to run on (There’s always Gaza!) to keep her Military Industrial Complex (MIC) Campaign Cash Flowing. Ukraine is losing, Russia is winning, and the only players who don’t want Peace are in NATO. But Peace is in the Air, and it’s been a bad week for the MIC.

Ukraine lost the “strategically paramount, fortified city of Avdiivka,” after which Russia launched an unstoppable border-wide offensive. Two days ago, the CIA used the New York Times to burn all of its “secret” assets in Ukraine, and today, we learn that Russia and Ukraine were both in Saudi Arabia in immediate succession in hopes that the Saudis can negotiate Peace.

 This morning, the Jerusalem Post covered the fast-moving story headlined, “Ukraine’s Zelensky holds talks with Saudi prince to push for peace plan with Russia.”

Peace plan! According to the article, on Tuesday Zelensky and a team of Ukrainian support staff went to Saudi Arabia to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and a whole lot of other Saudis.

The Saudis gave Zelensky the royal treatment. Literally, in this case. The day before, on Monday, the Saudis coincidentally hosted a delegation of Russian officials.

The timeline suggests there would have been just enough time to put the two meetings together if the Ukrainians started working on it late last week, either after the New York Times story broke on Wednesday or possibly right after CIA Director Burns’ visit. Either way, the Ukrainians are now seeking a peace deal from the Russians through one of its closest allies and new BRICS member, Saudi Arabia.

Not Peace through strength or Peace through war but Peace through … Peace. Zelensky likely sent his opening terms – which means a bunch of things he knows he won’t get, a few he likely can – last week after losing Avdiivka the previous week (and does this make him a Putin apologist?). Russia is all over his eastern front, and giving 61 billion to US arms manufacturers in the name of Ukraine isn’t going to help anyone but Defense contractors, not that the US doesn’t need to restock the sorts of things a nation might toss downrange in a conflict (but we have a budget/appropriations process for that and it’s one of the few Congress actually got done).

Feel free to speculate on the cascade of failures, but the CIA one is the most interesting.

First, longtime CIA watcher Mike Benz agreed with me that the 34-page Times’ article was an obvious CIA plant, but one paragraph convinced him the disclosure was actually just an effort to pressure Congress to pass the $61 billion Ukraine aid package by selling what terrific work the CIA was doing in Ukraine and how it needs funding to continue.

I disagree with Mike for four reasons.

One: the CIA could have much more easily assigned an attractive analyst with a compelling pair of visual aids to directly persuade Speaker Johnson (and anyone else in Congress) in a classified briefing without burning its network; it does that kind of thing all the time. Second, the CIA, like cockroaches, never do their scurrying out in the open. The network is useless to the CIA now its cover is blown, so there is no longer any need for CIA funds. Third, Ukrainian officials seemed deeply upset by the disclosures, rather than salivating over chances for a new plane-load of cash pallets. Fourth, though the reporters tried to squeeze the disclosures into a strappy dress, they wound up looking more like a balding, middle-aged, trans NATO general trying to pull off a tight skirt look.

Childers further posits with prompting from a reader that even the CIA might be afraid they can’t stop Trump, and it’s time to bury all the bodies before there’s something for which there’s no plausible deniability. But there’s still a lot of Joe and Hunter Biden stink and plenty of Obama’s, too (Joe was his point man in Ukraine). His people were there, did things, as things, hid things, tried to impeach Trump for asking about them (and succeeded), and then pushed the NATO thing that started the war.

They must have had a lot to hide besides secret Biolabs and secret CIA infrastructure (like the massive laundromat for taxdollars that became war funding). If Peace comes, expect the uniparty to try to launder recovery dollars through Ukraine to keep the train rolling until the last possible moment. Elections, after all, can be stolen. And if you did it once, you can do it again, though not in Delaware. A judge just struck “down a law allowing early voting and unlimited mail-in voting because those things were barred by the plain language of the state’s constitution.”

If judges in a few more states can find their constitutions before November, who knows what the CIA might have to consider.

The post UniParty Forever War in Danger: Zelensky Wants Peace – Visits Saudi Arabia Right After Russia appeared first on Granite Grok.

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

Notable events since 2021 include:

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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