So-called independent web portals keep popping up in New Hampshire. They are well funded with professional staff, but try not to look it because they are actually partisan political fronts pretending to be unbiased, disinterested observers. They want you to trust them.

You can’t.

They may even say they care about New Hampshire, Live Free or Die! Granite Post News is one of the more recent inventions. Within seconds of clicking the link that hit my inbox, I could tell what this was. But before we get to that, here’s who they claim to be.

No one cares more about our state than the people who live here. And that’s us. Our experienced team of journalists all call New Hampshire home. We know you because we are you. We’re here to cut through the fog of disinformation and half-truths meant to confuse and distract from what we cherish most about our state and our country. That’s why we’re committed to reporting based on facts, science, and what matters most to Granite Staters.

They admit to believing in a living wage, centered reporting, quality education, and strong democracy. That sounds a lot like a Liberal-funded front group pretending to be something it is not. A band of locals who care about New Hampshire.

Sorry. Not even close. But not everyone will notice or realize, so we are here to help.

Granite Post News is owned and run by Courier Newsroom. Courier is a creature of ACRONYM.

One newer group heralding the new era of pseudo-news outlets is ACRONYM, a liberal dark money group with an affiliated super PAC called PACRONYM. The nonprofit also is an investor in a for-profit digital consulting firm that gained notoriety for its role in launching Shadow Inc., the secretive vendor behind a vote tabulation app at the center of the pandemonium at the Iowa Democratic caucuses. ACRONYM announced it was divesting in Shadow Inc. shortly thereafter.

ACRONYM is behind Courier Newsroom, a network of websites emulating progressive local news outlets. Courier has faced scrutiny for exploiting the collapse of local journalism to spread “hyperlocal partisan propaganda.” It claims to operate “independent from” ACRONYM and says ownership is shared with “other investors.” But a new tax return obtained by OpenSecrets lists ACRONYM as the full owner of Courier as of April. 30, 2019, the most recent date on record. An ACRONYM spokesperson told OpenSecrets that Courier has attracted multiple private investors since that time.

Websites affiliated with Courier Newsroom that appear to be free-standing local news outlets are actually part of a coordinated effort with deep ties to Democractic political operatives. OpenSecrets first revealed the network’s digital ad spending at the Investigative Reporters and Editors NICAR conference in March.

ACRONYM has millions to spend on its networks and mission, and this isn’t our first dip of the toe into Couriers waters. In the run-up to the midterms, the same dark money was doing the same fake media song and dance. We uncovered four outlets in the Granite State of the original 51.

Granite Post News looks to be a bit less cut and paste, but the underlying partisan mission is the same.

Consider yourself informed.

And one more point, since this always comes up if an “outlet” or an advocate decides to play denier or engage in pushback. We have no issue with you being who you are. Just admit it. Let the people know, and they can decide how to value the opinion and reporting you have to offer.

 

The ‘Grok and Grok Media are reader-supported. No deep pockets. Just shoestrings and a strong desire to protect New Hampshire. You can begin or continue to support us and our mission here.  Thank You!

Suppose for a moment that you, the reader, live in the most corrupt and bluest city, and there are a handful of tireless truth seekers who keep getting knocked down by city hall, its agencies, activists, and even the courts.  How fortunate you are if you have such people willing to use their time, money, skills, and peace of mind to keep on trying!

This song is for them.

Also, suppose that you have zero representation in city hall or the NH legislature.  Let’s say for the moment that there is a member of the legislature (yours or someone else’s) who lives in your zip code and ought to be sympathetic to the local issues. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that such a person would go to bat for you and your local truth seekers, even if it’s someone not on YOUR ballot?

Now, recall Mr. Sylvia’s comment that the Senate is a place where good House bills go to die. It is also a place where bad House bills get rubber-stamped.

What about It?

Remember summer reading lists?  If you’ve been spared from them, I’ll say that you’re expected to read the book(s) and be prepared for a discussion in class that fall.  Another comparison is the book club, which is voluntary and, therefore, perhaps more accurate.  Anyway, you will get more out of reading the rest of this article if you first watch Melissa’s podcast called “How To Break Through Establishment-Controlled Legislatures.” Don’t be turned off by the 52-minute length; you can skip the unwanted content (ads, messages from the sponsor, etc.).

“How To Break Through Establishment-Controlled Legislatures”

 

Before she brings Emily and former Rep. Tim Baxter into the discussion, she focuses on a bad senate bill involving custody disputes, DSS, and placement of kids from broken homes.  I have no skin in that game, but the theme Melissa was illustrating resonated with me because of the similar Senate playing field forces involved with a bad House bill that the Damn Emperor signed on June 14.

Melissa mentions gatekeepers in her podcast and how the purse strings are controlled, but she’s classy enough to not name names.  Let’s just say that the lobbyist she is referring to has an unusual and frequently mispronounced name.  He is usually addressed by his initials and he’s been running the lobbying firm solo since the untimely death of his business partner, who also happens to be Queen Sharon’s predecessor.

You Can Help

Donating directly to the candidate, such as Emily Phillips, is a good start. I know broken records are commonly heard and read at campaign time, but I’ll share what I’ve heard from various Bible Bangers here and there over the years. “Faith without works is dead.” One of them, Nurse Terese, often makes comments like, “If you pray to God for a hole in the ground, don’t be surprised if you come into possession of a shovel.”

Terese also regularly says that courage breeds courage.  Melissa and Emily discussed the dynamics of the roll call.  I want to add to that the act of removing bad bills from consent.  Perhaps abolishing the institution of consent is worth discussing.  I have a Senator who regularly says, “Sometimes bills take multiple seasons to get things done, and the first one is to ‘just have a conversation.'”  I’m guessing the alteration of the consent calendar falls under the auspices of the Rules Committee, of which he is the chair.  Consider the seed planted and talk to Emily about consent because I predict a warm reception to the idea.

If we want different (meaning better) results in how the Senate behaves as a body, it’s time to get off the couch, open the wallet, and swap some keystroke time for in-person activism.  Please click here to offer Emily ways in which you are willing to help and remember that you don’t have to live in District 23 to help clean up the senate.

The past few years have been plagued by all manner of professional fearmongering, not the least of which is the overuse of the term forever chemicals. It got popular with the media and “activists” at the same time the enviro-radicals were looking for a way to reduce water consumption.

Cleaning water is carbon intensive and emits things the Climate cult insists are dooming the world. None of that is true, but that’s their Modus Operandi for everything, including fossil fuels and your lifestyle. Make everything more expensive or harder to get, and meaningless emissions go down with your quality of life. Not sure you agree? You are living it right now.

Water Water Everywhere

Water is no different. Armed with spotty science and scary language, the nation has quickly fallen under the pall of yet another assumption. First, that PFAS is a forever chemical – we still don’t know that. And second, if it is, it could accumulate to a point where it might cause cancer – the actual science is still out on that. But let’s say it’s true despite the rates of cancer for PFAS workers being at or below the average of everyone else (that data is older than the plot to use PFOA and PFAS as a tool, so apologies if it is outdated, or god help us accurate).

PFAS does accumulate in the human body. Most of us have some, and it has no meaningful effect and never will (which is why they labeled it a forever chemical). BUT – if, as advertised, and they are right about the risk, and this is bad because there is no mechanism to relieve it (natural or crafted in, say, a dual-use gain of function bio lab in Wuhan), and at some point, you might start popping tumors, then what are these same fearmongers prepared to do about this problem?

 These chemicals, which are used to enhance battery performance and reduce flammability, were found in high concentrations in environmental samples near EV battery manufacturing plants in the United States, Belgium, and France.

Ironically, one of the few retardants available to help firefighters extinguish lithium battery fires is a PFAS-based foam that is being banned everywhere that lithium vehicles are behind heralded (or is that mandated) as the future of all car fires. Fires that cannot be extinguished easily and are typically contained and allowed to burn …for hours, releasing hot gases from rare earth metals as well as (presumably) PFAS fumes into the local environment.

While supporters argue that electric vehicles are crucial for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the potential increase in PFAS pollution presents a new environmental hurdle. As Guelfo stated, “Slashing [carbon dioxide] emissions with innovations like electric cars is critical, but it shouldn’t come with the side effect of increasing PFAS pollution.”

The research team conducted a comprehensive “cradle-to-grave” evaluation of bis-FASIs in lithium-ion batteries, testing more than a dozen batteries used in EVs and consumer electronics. They detected these chemicals at parts per billion levels, significantly higher than the limits recently set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for PFAS in drinking water.

Good times.

Oh, one more point before I go. Let us not forget that, per the reporting and research, lithium Battery manufacturers add PFAS to the product to reduce the risk of fires. In other words, fires are a known risk and side effect, and removing PFAS, presumably, would only increase the risk of adding even more toxic chemicals into the atmosphere from burning EVs.

Happy Greening the Planet Cultists.

State Rep Angela Brennan believes that in order to prevent a dictatorship, we must practice dictatorship. Sort of like the “to save the village, we had to destroy the village,” supposedly said by someone in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Let’s put this as simply as possible so even Angie can (hopefully) understand it.

Joe BidenX is NOT and NEVER has been running the Executive Branch. He lacks and has been lacking the mental capacity to do so. Obviously, therefore, someone(s) else is running the Executive Branch. That someone(s) was NOT elected. This is NOT a democracy. Joe BidenX acting as a figurehead while some(s) UNELECTED others run the country is NOT a democracy. A dictatorship is a far more accurate description of what we have been living under since January 2021.

Needless to say, Angie … like all the other low-IQ, wine-mom, Woke-Commy-bots … believes that Trump is a dictator because she disagrees with Trump’s policies. Think about that … her definition of democracy is NOT majority rule (and to the libertarian nincompoops … yes, I understand that the President is elected by electoral votes). Majority rule, i.e. democracy … according to this low-IQ, wine-mom … is a dictatorship when her side does not win.

Want to see a dictator, Angie? LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

For all the deniers out there who insisted the US government, under Joe Biden, wasn’t running a human conveyor belt operation from Central America into the American heartland, this is for you. Not only are they doing it, but they admit it, have set up offices in foreign countries to make it easier, and they are bragging about it.

Elections have consequences

The post This Might Make You Mad appeared first on Granite Grok.

As most Americans with half a brain cell know, the United States’ modern-day banking and financial system is not what the founders envisioned—far from it. There are many truthful arguments to make. In a way, usury is the nucleus of its operation.

Usury is the loaning of money, usually at high interest rates. In fact, General George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, in my opinion, warned the most, at that time, against the dangers of central banks controlling the money system; an oligarchy of bankers was the most dangerous form of tyranny, perhaps worse than a monarchy.

Many of our founders were avid scholars in Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Maxims of Law, Natural Law, etc. believed in and understood the Bible very well using the language and meaning of words at the time of their writings. They feared the power of God and understood the importance of applying its principles not just in theory but living it out daily as well as discerning what type of government to establish.

Opposition to usury has Biblical roots. It is my belief many of the founders warned of the dangers of banking oligarchies because of their knowledge of the Bible and understanding how usury applied to various models of past government (which many also spent summers studying), which is always tied to how money is used for government purposes and its intended impact on the people.

Some examples from the King James Version on the evils of usury:

Exodus 22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

Leviticus 25:36 – Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

Ezekiel 22:12 – In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

A handful of other verses, especially in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, touch on usury.

Another verse that sticks out is Proverbs 22:7:  The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Though I suspect this verse can be interpreted in different ways, I believe understanding the whole of chapter 22 is relevant to grasping the deeper context of the verse. I find that it acknowledges economic inequality exists (whether it is good or not is hard to tell) but this can potentially mean both, depending on how governments and rulers attain wealth and allow debt to be incurred. Economic inequality is not bad if it is a result of equality of opportunity and/or just rules. Though people are responsible for their own decisions, a government can exploit the ignorance of the common people in how to avoid making bad decisions and to make corrections to past behavior to become financially stable or free. A modern-day example is how big pharma and the WHO kept scientific information from being communicated about the experiments of the COVID-19 vaccines and alternative therapies such as HCQ and Ivermectin.

The founders realized the nature of man was fallen and thus needed a government. Hence, Madison’s quote in Federalist Paper 51, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” If this very same government were to compose of the same fallen man, there must be limits and restraints on that very same government. This is where the Laws of Nature come in. The Laws of Nature are never to be violated. If governments are not protecting them, they must be restrained or put in check by the same people who gave consent to the establishment of such a government.

Madison’s statement about men not being angels in Federalist Paper 51 has a parallel to the general truths of Proverbs 22 because it discusses in many ways the balance between rule and servant. In an analogous way, Federalist Paper 51 balances government versus the consent of the people. If men were such angels, and there was no sinful nature of men, there would be no evils to warn against, nor would the Bible warn against usury, nor would there need to be the need for a government and internal/external controls on that same government. This is not to say being rich is evil nor is it to say servitude is wrong. Some people work harder than others, are more ambitious, make wiser decisions than others, have more skills, etc. This is why the founders studied natural rights. From the founder’s eyes, the adherence to natural rights is a balance that must be preserved between a struggle for a just government and a right to alter and change the government via Constitutional measures. Whether poor or rich, we are all common under the fact we have inalienable rights, inherent with intelligent design.

Usury’s modern-day evil use is evident with the  Department of Education’s system of loaning high-interest rate loans, deceptive and bureaucratic strings attached grant money to state budgets, predatory credit card practices, subprime mortgage lending to high-risk borrowers through faulty credit ratings, national debt created by creation of money supply from recurring cycles of illegally regurgitated debt, an IRS collection agency with no constitutional authority, now the emergence of many of these powers with the World Economic Forum and its subsidiary affiliates. Though people are responsible for paying back what they borrow, it is also the government’s job to not economically, psychologically, and morally take advantage of the same people they are supposed to serve through deceptive, uninformed consent and willful ignorance of the masses.

Just as Proverbs 22:7 mentions the rich ruling over the servants, the verses before and after hint at meaningful insights into wealth and poverty. In the same capacity, the founders believed in a just government that would protect virtue and punish evil. The struggle between good and evil has always existed. Right now, in my opinion, besides elections, understanding the nature of usury, the history of our banking system, and knowing what our natural rights are and tying them together are the most important things Americans can learn right now, besides their faith and the Bible.

Hurricane Beryl came on strong, degraded to a tropical storm, and then managed to get back to CAT 1 before it hugged the Texas Coast. Landfall Hurricane! The Climate Cult can’t help itself. Global Warming, Global Warming. Really? Global? Let’s take a look at that.

Tropical Storm Beryls path as of 7-8-24

As a reminder, everyone, including us, expects a nasty Atlantic hurricane season this year. Accumulated cyclonic energy, hurricane landfalls, it’s all been on the down low in the Atlantic for too long and we are due. No matter. Everything proves the unimpeachable hypothesis. Beryl was their popular blonde from day one. Formed Early and reached Cat 4 (Wait, 5!). It’s that super-heated Atlantic basin! Quick aside about that, if interested, but trigger warning: the correlation has nothing to do with CO2 or why India can burn coal while we can’t).  Global Something!

Global. Global, you say: reformatted, emphasis mine.

The Pacific Basin is much larger than the Atlantic and has almost 4 times the Accumulated Cyclonic Energy Index of the Atlantic. ( 432). The Atlantic Basin averages 122. So, if you want to use tropical cyclones as a barometer of how bad it is getting, how come the last 4 years have found the Pacific so far below normal ( last year did reach an average ACE in the west Pac, but a near record low number of storms).

After all, the water is so warm, So why is the western Pacific  25% of the average, the eastern Pacific 0%, and perhaps on the way to breaking the record for the latest development? ( The West Pac was a top 5 late development this year).

And why aren’t we hearing about this?

Globally, we are at 75% of average, and even tho I expect the hyper-Atlantic season, I don’t think it will be enough to take the global Ace above average. There has been no increase in this, and the lowering overall is to be expected. Tropical cyclones are nature’s way of taking heat off to the tropics and redistributing it to the temperate regions.

I have been arguing for 2 decades that a warming world is not the harbinger of an orgy of attacks, as only one basin is liable to be active. What is the need for hyperactivity if the heat is already distributed? The warmer north waters change the global wind oscillation, sea level pressure, and vertical velocity patterns, arguing for less, not more, activity. T

he Atlantic, a much smaller basin, can take up some of the slack. The configuration of the cold La Nina, the very warm Main Development region, and the colder water off the US southeast coast will cause the focus to create the storms (and, of course, the hysteria) in our part of the world. Meanwhile, the largest source of tropical activity is likely to be well below normal and offset it. But what will you hear about? Why is no one bringing up that the warming is working AGAINST storms in the largest basin?

Global?

It looks local to me. Speaking of Local, here’s a random late June 2024 temp map for no particular reason.

 

Nice, but wait. There’s more. Northern and Central California have had costal water temperature warnings. It is dangerously cold. It’s so cold you could get hypothermia and die (even in July).

A recent temperature reading off the coast of Crescent City revealed that water temperatures were 47.3 degrees Fahrenheit, more than 3 degrees below normal for this time of year and 4 degrees below winter water temperatures in January.

Meteorologists and weather experts are blaming the temperature plunge on an “intense marine cold spell.”

Another odd admission that isn’t getting the attention it deserves. The fragile Gulf of Maine—not too fragile for massive mechanized implants or the process required to install and maintain them—has been so warm lately. We’ve written about it. But scientists are baffled by how unusually cold the water is deeper down in the Gulf. Imagine that. The deeper you go, the colder it gets, but for some reason, this is still colder. Global Warming! They’re looking into it but not very loudly since it’s not on rotation at CNN like Hurricane Beryl!

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.

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.
