Is California splitting away? Group believes California should form its own nation

“Yes California,” a pro-secession group, filed paperwork with the state attorney general in November for a proposed 2018 ballot measure to strike language in the state constitution binding California to the United States. 

This month, the group announced the opening of a “cultural center” in Moscow — “the first of many planned California culture centers which will serve to build a bridge between the nation of California and the nations of the world,” read a statement on Yes California’s website. 

Even if a ballot measure qualifies — 585,407 signatures are needed — and a majority of Californians want to secede, an independent republic of California faces very steep odds. The question of whether states can split was answered in blood by the Civil War and in law by an 1869 U.S. Supreme Court decision that found no right to secession in the U.S. Constitution.

DYI:  I was surprised an excellent article from the Los Angeles Daily News.  Of course not a new concept for Californians whether it is forming a new country or splitting into two States.  What this is really all about is AUTONOMY.  Californians would be better served if they became very aggressive in NOT complying with the Federal governments unfunded liabilities AND battling in the courts 10th Amendment issues.  The Fed's in order to force compliance hold over the heads of Californians revenue sharing monies.  Yep good old case of BRIBERY and if you don't do as we demand the Fed's will stop sending Federal dollars - EXTORTION!

If California, Texas, and Florida were to become aggressive in reviving States rights this out of control Federal beast would quickly be chopped down in size.  Removing federal regulations that stifle job creation and hinder freedom.  Once these three States became successful many of the other States would quickly follow pushing back the Fed's back to their constitutional mandates.

For the first time in my life - I'm 63 years young - there are forces pushing in this direction.  The election of Trump is more about States rights than Trump himself.  This is a continuation of Alvin Toffler's demassification concept as technology is in the process of individualizing almost everything.  Especially in the area of communication. Just ask the main stream press as internet citizen journalist and new media outlets are crushing old media.  Now the war is against the Fed's themselves as everyday citizens are "Fed Up with the Fed's" and their crony capitalism and their ineffective spending.  

I would expect to see the very real possibility of "Trust Busting" such as the top 5 banks having around 85% of the U.S. deposits.  This would go double for the medical industrial complex that I've written about many times.

Let's hope we see more of this mentality as the States fight back against Federal tyranny.
