im not a religious nut but just hear me out.

native americans only problem is alcohol.
if they would smoke pot and ban alcohol,they could get this country back.
if you believe the book of mormon,they say the indians may be the tribe of eli.this tribe was banned from alcohol.but pot was part of the ointment they put on their head and what was burned in the temple.
they were smokin it when us whities got here.

i know its a crazy theory with no real facts but if the key fits, who cares.
also doesnt cherokee sound alot like cherub key?

Just a note here...  I am not for any banning of anything except where it hurts Others directly and tangibly.  If People want to drink alcohol, as long as Their behavior does not hurt Others... [shrug]

Otherwise We are not free.

.......36 States Want to Secede from the Federal Government: What's the Economic Impact?
..By Henry Blodget

This is an encouraging number.  The only way secession for even one state is going to occur successfully, is for a sufficient number of states to push for secession simultaneously, that the federal government no longer has sufficient manpower to beat said states into submission.

Federalism is a Service to Self polarised concept, and the Union is an invention of the cabal.  It is an abomination which is counter to dynamic/natural organisation, and must be resisted.

The goal was to have a number of large federal states serve on intermediate terms, before the final implementation of their real goal, which is global government.  I applaud secession wherever the concept is being persued, because I understand that individual countries should be small.

Last report on Twitter was that there are petitions in all 50 states...

[sky otter]

well Z has said many times that no one actually reads the links
he sure knows the score

i put these here scarcastically and the comments prove that you ddin't read any of it
sigh

quote from one source

The reality here is that there's no legal mechanism by which states can secede from the nation. The White house is being good-spirited by offering to respond to any petition that gathers more than 25,000 signatures, but the most this gesture will do is make the signatories feel listened to.

Joe Weisenthal, Deputy Editor at Business Insider, likens these secession petitions to "comments on an Internet chat board." They're just a handful of Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to bellyache, not proposing anything serious.


quote from another

Residents in more than 30 states have filed secession petitions with the "We the People" program on the White House website.

Petitions to strip citizenship of individuals signing onto petitions to secede and exile them have also been submitted.

A threshold of 25,000 signatures must be met within 30 days for petitions to be reviewed. The Obama administration explains, "If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the Administration and we will issue a response."

and another quote
..seems those already getting hand outs are the biggest moaners
Census records show that six of the seven states that amassed more than 25,000 signatures on their petitions to form independent nations in the past week took more than $10 million in revenue from the federal government that year.

The seven states – Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina – took more than 23 percent of all federal revenue allotted to the states that year.

Missouri also received $11 million and has collected more than 29,500 signatures, but the electronic votes are divided between two identical petitions, disqualifying the state from receiving a White House response.


i'm workin real hard to abide by my own first rule to not take anything personally
so before i start a rant
i'm going for a walk

I could make a lot of comments back to the quotes given, but these are not worth the energy.  All I did was mention that I had heard that all 50 states started petitions. Not sure how this is construed as saying I did not read links...  (Couple I read when I received the links in a tweet...)
