While driving back from morning coffee with the guy, my car radio was tuned to a daily conservative talk station, and the conversation was about what a caller stated was the number one priority today in America, that being that we, the people, take over, or take back our schools. The host and caller both agreed that homeschooling was the most critical action we can take with what is going on today. The host hinted while discussing that, ultimately, secession would be necessary, avoiding at all costs not using the s word.
This past year I have been very active in the fight to keep even more Confederate monuments from being removed. After losing every single battle in the courts’ articles, emails and social media posts again hinted but always stopped short of the s word. Watching the imprisonment of over 1200 protesters that were at the Capitol on January 6th patriots are not being paranoid in believing how the Justice Department can easily equate secession with insurrection given the War for Southern Independence. Then there is the narrative the Left keeps going about violent and armed white supremacists.
Not only am I not married to the word secession, I want nothing more than to help come about a peaceful movement of like-minded, culturally similar countries to withdraw from “The Union”. Besides secession having so much baggage that hinders rather than assists in the process of separation, as I wrote in my first essay on the subject in December of 2020, whatever term is to be used, it should emphasize what the people wish to build and why their freedom is important, rather than breaking away. The principle to be employed and sanctioned by natural law is the Right of Home Rule. Returning to the conversation on the radio this morning, people’s homes are their castles and their children are theirs to educate, not the state’s. It is a false hope that we could ever take back our schools
This sovereignty at such a basic level must be protected. It is the reason why separation is now necessary. Just look around the world. Here is a list of those 20 countries that ban homeschooling.
1. Germany
2. Sweden
3. Norway (for children under the age of 12)
4. Austria (for children over the age of 15)
5. Greece
6. France
7. Finland
8. Belgium
9. Italy
10. Portugal
11. Czech Republic
12. Slovenia
13. Slovakia
14. Hungary
15. Romania
16. Bulgaria
17. Croatia
18. Cyprus
19. Malta
20. Spain (unlegislated)

Given the current trends that limit freedoms and not increase them , how long will it be, knowing that the public schools are bleeding students to homeschooling, that the government clamps down. Just look at the increases in only a few years.
Homeschooling Statistics
Highlights of statistics on homeschooling:
1. There are 3.7 million homeschool students in the U.S.
2. States with the most homeschoolers are North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
3. The top reason for homeschooling is a concern about school environment.
4. Homeschool students outperform institutional school students academically.
5. The highest homeschooling rate is among students with a grade equivalent of 6 to
6. 48% of homeschooling households have three or more children.
7. The average cost of homeschooling is $700-$1,800 per student annually.
8. 1 in 3 homeschooling households has an annual income of over $100,000.
9. Homeschooling saves about $56 billion of taxpayer money annually.
Did you know, for instance that the District of Columbia has the highest increase in homeschooling 2018 to the present? Yes, 108% increase.
What’s Behind the Present Culture War
It was 2008, only fifteen brief years ago when presidential candidate Barack Husein O’Bama while stumping proclaimed that:
We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
It was a statement that he walked back and softened later as President in an interview in the Oval Office with Bill O’Reilly. In response to O’Bama’s presidency, the Tea Party Movement sprung up across the U.S., primarily, but not exclusively in “red states” in the nation’s heartland. In all manner of beliefs and lifestyles, the Tea Party supporters were the polar opposite of the elites in power. Two terms later and in time for another presidential election candidate Senator Hillary Clinton would prefer to these everyday patriots as the “deplorables”. There was an intensifying of political differences, which formulated eventually in two very distinctive cultures. The United States has had a history of times when political polarization intensifies. Only once, did it result in internal warfare resulting in a great loss of life, and resembled today’s culture war in that sides have very little common ground other than being the same species.
What I want to draw attention to is that the present culture war is not a real war in the sense that at some point one side will win. The warring factions are participating in a well-designed and orchestrated interim process.
Comrad Oligarch
Something the don’t teach in school ( could not be more obvious) are the differences between the Machiavellian strategy of fighting and winning versus, the Byzantium way. Machiavelli taught the prince to be very straightforward. Let your opponent know you, fear you and see you coming. Exactly what we are witnessing today as the culture war intensifies. You know four indictments of Trump, the taking of political prisoners from January 6. Both sides see each other as the enemy. But what if all are but pawns being used by players hidden from view with an entirely different agenda, a totally different war? There exists a coalition of oligarchs, for lack of a better word who I believe see the entire global chessboard and together they make moves knowing how to win and take all. Can you say all of the earth’s resources? That fact that except for a very few, after so many decades, you cannot name them, helps to prove my point. I know one thing though, Putin knows them very well and that is why he imprisoned the Russian and seized their assets. Biden knows them too.
The beauty is that these oligarths are extreme capitalists and from day one they have alligned themselves with far-left communists. Revolutionaries can be trusted to destroy the nations and economies that are in the way of them seizing the earth’s capital for their use and power. It is a winners-take- all game. So, whether it is a CNN anchor, Justin Trudeau, Adam Schiff, or the Antifa kid next door, they are being led to believe they are bringing forth a leftist utopia when, in fact, they will be slaves along with their stated opponents eating bugs, owning nothing and making believe they are happy. That’s right, I contend that these global elites stole a page out of Lenin’s playbook. The following is from Robesonian.com:
Historians, and political and financial figures of the early and mid-20th century referred to such young intellectual soldiers fighting for one cause or another as “useful idiots.”
History lesson: The phrase’s origin is unclear, but some say it was first coined by Vladimir Lenin, the father of the Bolshevik Revolution that led to the bloody overthrow of Russia’s monarchy in 1917 and to the creation of a communist government. Others attribute the phrase to Joseph Stalin, who after Lenin’s death in 1924 won a power struggle for control of the Communist Party. He was dictator of the Soviet Union by the late 1920s. Historians also attribute to Stalin the deaths of about 20 million people, victims of labor camps, forced collectivization, famine and executions. And that was before the start of World War II.
Homeschooling is Integral to Independence
I pray that more and more Americans see the necessity of separating from the U.S. and enthusiastically look forward to forging new local sovereign entities. Also, I’d like to win. The only way to win, the way I see it is we leave the Machiavellian world and a doomed strategy to the Left and start making some great moves knowing the game that the oligarchs are playing. Just imagine when all these entirely new sovereign and independent entities and economies pop up.
