Secession without seceding.

States open cary laws, states opening up again and doing away with Covid restrictions. Force Biden to use Federal Troops against the people.

I have been pondering how some states could seceed from Washington DC without actually declaring independence. Florida's DeSantis has given me a road map. "Fuck off Biden" is the war cry. Local laws nullifying executive orders. Court cases, restraining orders, push back, and outright civil disobedience. States open cary laws, states opening up again and doing away with Covid restrictions. Force Biden to use Federal Troops against the people.

Nullification always preceded secession in the antebellum South. Read your history. Americans have done it before! The only issue is that the nullifiers have to be willing to do without federal funds for this and that, because that'll be the primary means whereby the federal government will attempt to reassert its authority over the states. To have a real chance at success requires chicken-shit GOP governors to grow a spine, and be willing to stand in solidarity with other nullifier states, so as to present a wall of opposition. In the resulting standoff, the federal government will have to back down.

Federal funds are funds stolen from the citizen of the State.

So these villains, who call themselves governments, well understand that their power rests primarily upon money. With money they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. And, when their authority is denied, the first use they always make of money, is to hire soldiers to kill or subdue all who refuse them more money.

For this reason, whoever desires liberty, should understand these vital facts, viz.: 1. That every man who puts money into the hands of a “government” (so called), puts into its hands a sword which will be used against himself, to extort more money from him, and also to keep him in subjection to its arbitrary will. 2. That those who will take his money, without his consent, in the first place, will use it for his further robbery and enslavement, if he presumes to resist their demands in the future.
