Unsafe Space

Keith discusses secession movements past and present outside the U.S. with guest J.G. Franklin, an actor, english conversation teacher, and Washingtonian living in Brazil. The trend of the last century is away from empires toward decentralization, with the number of countries tripling in the last century. We start with Brazil - J.G. gives a brief history of the formation of Brazil by mostly peaceful separation, and the possibility of three southern Brazil states going independent today. We briefly cover some of the numerous peaceful national divorces in the Americas, Eastern and Western Europe, and Africa, from Brexit to Namibia to Czech Republic to Crimea. To close we talk about the key to all of this - the principle of self-governance beautifully outlined in the US Declaration of Independence.

Keith and guest Benjamin Shaffer discusses the ludicrously unconstitutional consideration by the Biden administration to implement a US wide ban on gas stoves, along with other actions proving those in power in the federal government have zero interest or concern with the limits imposed on them by the Constitution. We go though the list of federal agencies discussing which are Constitutional, which are not, and why. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled at how far our general government has gone beyond the Founder’s intent, words, and the ratified contract between the states that created Washington DC. Benjamin is an attorney deeply interested in the Constitution from the Founder’s view, and counsel with the alternate currency company Goldback.

Keith discusses the truth behind President Abraham Lincoln’s edict. Widely claimed to “free all slaves” by those promoting the Lincoln Myth, his proclamation did *not* free nearly a million slaves in the united states. Lincoln specifically exempted from freedom every slave in every place he had legal authority in. Be skeptical when a politician attempts to claim a moral high ground. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation political stunt was not what our government schools told us it was.
