Going Galt Without Secession

Posted on by FortWorthPatriot

I just posted this on Facebook a couple of minutes ago. There is some talk of secession amongst some of my fellow Texans there. I wanted to put my post here as well to get opinions on it. Thank you for your patience.

It can be done. And we can Go Galt at the same time. The key to this is cutting off the east and west coast geographically while at the same time cutting off lines of trade and natural resources to the two coasts.

As Lois stated, we need to split the country in half, literally. In order to do this we would need an alliance of at least the following six states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. These six states would create a geographical barrier between the east and west coasts of the United States from Canada to Mexico.

It is also convenient that these states have traditionally voted Republican for years and most importantly have also been derided over the years as being flyover country by those on the coasts even though the coasts depend upon these states for food, oil, gas, and other resources.

Although these resources may be available on the coasts, given the governments of those states they would have difficulty getting them from the field to the cities. Fuel would become scarce as they would not have the refineries needed to make gas. I also dont believe they have enough acreage for farming to sustain their needs.

It would be fitting if we could get seven (7) more states (Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho) allied in the beginning as they are also part of flyover land and traditionally vote republican. This would give us 13 states in which the restoration of the United States would begin. Thirteen states. Fitting.

On that note, let me make this abundantly clear  I am NOT advocating a revolution against or secession from the United States. The goal is to cut off and isolate the coasts for a long enough period of time so that eventually they begin to understand that they need us to survive so that they have no choice but to concede and restore the Union. This would be our Going Galt.

So we get these 6 to 13 states allied, what do we do then? First, we seal the southern U.S. border, more than 50% of which is along the Texas-Mexico border. The Allied States would not need federal funds or permission to seal the border so it would be done quickly and correctly. The flow of illegal immigrants would then be channeled through New Mexico, Arizona and California.

At this point in time, we may have the states of Utah and Arizona in the Alliance, so we could seal the Arizona-Mexico border as well, constricting the flow of illegal immigrants even tighter through the narrow gaps along the borders of California and New Mexico. Then we begin purging all illegal immigrants out of the Allied States. I dont think that will be too difficult as many will leave voluntarily as they did when Arizona began enforcing federal immigration laws last year.

Secondly, since we hold the majority of natural resources, we begin upgrading and building new refineries throughout the Allied States. If we have Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas as part of the Alliance, we control the bulk of offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf. We ignore any federal agencies such as the EPA and begin drilling. Drill in the Gulf, drill inland. Drill, baby, drill.

Third, we set up a trade agreement between the Allied States and Canada and get that pipeline built. This would get Alaska into the Alliance if she hasnt already jumped on board by now. The only reason I havent so far included Alaska in this scenario is because she would be isolated from us and vulnerable, hence the need to get Canada on board with us. And I believe that Canada would help us as they understand they need the United States to protect them. They would also rather deal with common sense than with Washington. No need to trade with Mexico  what do they have that we cant produce here?

What about the military? What if Washington decides to move troops against the Allied States? First, I think that if such an order were to be given a majority of military leaders would refuse to obey. As I said before, this action is not a revolution or secession  I am not advocating an armed resistance against Washington. This is a passive act of ignoring the coasts in order to force them to realize that they need us to survive and that they will have to play ball our way in order to do so.

But what if some troops do move against us? Well, I believe that in the beginning of all this, we seize all military bases and assets within the Allied States. We explain to the military personnel at those bases exactly what our goal is  the restoration of the United States of America  and I believe they will join us. If not they are free to leave. Command and control of these units would need to be restructured under the temporary leadership of the Allied States.

Naval forces at sea willing to join us would have the Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi coasts in which to harbor. If necessary, we can ask for military support (boots on the ground) from long time allies such Canada, England, and Australia, which would have a vested interest in the quick and peaceful restoration of the United States of America. Washington may threaten them with sanctions but they would have the Allied leadership with which to negotiate alternatively.

And we can build our own military as well. In addition to any U.S. military personnel within the Allied borders who join us during implementation of the Galt Maneuver, this military would consist of all National Guard units that are not currently deployed, any and all State Guard units throughout the Allied States, and volunteers consisting primarily of former or retired military. I would probably be one of them.

What about those conservatives living in states isolated by the Allied States? Help relocate them to the Allied States if they wish to do so. There is plenty of room for them here and they have the same goals as we do. If they prefer to stay where they are until it is all over, encourage and support them as they work to convince their state leadership to concede. The goal is to leave the liberals to take care of themselves and see how long that lasts.

Then we trade only with those states within the Alliance and with Canada, and with any other country in the world who wishes to trade with us. As time goes by, states along the Allied border would start negotiating with us for resources. One by one, we bring them back into the fold. Working state by state on contiguous borders until the entire Union is restored.

Is this far-fetched? Maybe. But I strongly believe we need to do something NOW in order to preserve the United States of America. If anyone else has any better ideas, Im more than willing to listen.

NOTE: If I suddenly disappear from the face of the earth within the next couple of days, well then they have read this post and I am either in prison somewhere or dead. If so, ride out to meet them. Take the fight to them.

God bless us all.

LMAO. Try it again when dancing with the stars season has concluded. The “Americans” and America of 2012 is not in any way related to the one of 200 years ago.

I wish we could make a conservative barter market and stop using any form of currency.

I suggest creating more private religious schools to replace public schools. You have to change the culture.

I agree and that can be done as well during this timeframe. Why not?

I don’t know, I have tried in the past. But I would be willing to trade my skills and labor for farm eggs ... hunting permission etc.. It would be great if we could have one on the Internet.



To: dila813

What about state issued tax free bonds as a medium of exchange?



To: FortWorthPatriot

Interesting, I like it. Freeze them out. Toll roads for non allied state trucks coming in or crossing the allied states? Who could do this, who has the power and the money to begin? Better yet, who has the .....'s, well you know.



To: FortWorthPatriot

Some good thoughts. Not what going Galt is about and you're on thin ice with a number of federal laws. Keep thinking about it...



To: FortWorthPatriot

You have to get all states along the mississippi river, otherwise trade can still move up and down it. There is an enormous amount of trade that goes up and down this river.



To: FortWorthPatriot

You are assuming just because a state may have gone for the GOP they are conservative/share your view. This assumption may not be the case for example Montana reelected and North Dakota elected Dims as their Senators. Utah reelected Dim Matheson to the House for the 7th time.. I cant see how the numbers are there in the states you are talking about to make this viable..



To: dila813

You can, it’s called craigslist. They have trading there, or even if they aren’t posted there you can always make a trade offer. Worstcase they say no thanks.



To: dila813

I am a member of a few around here. one is on facebook. seems to be the busiest one. it’s open to most anyone though. I wonder if Beck is thinking of something like it with his planned changes to the blaze

"Who could do this, who has the power and the money to begin?"



The Governors of these states would have to agree to do this. Then they would need to get the support of the military leadership within their states. It would have to been absolutely crystal clear what the goal is: The temporary isolation of the eastern and western coasts in order to bring about compliance with the U.S. Constitution. This is not a secession or creation of a new country, it's a restoration of the United States of America.

Private religious schools will soon be outlawed. As will homeschooling. Only the federal teachers unions will be allowed to educate our children. Once the Supreme Court flips, and it will, then evangelical Christianity will be branded as hate speech and it will be banned as well. We really have lost everything. We can go quietly, or we can resist, but it will soon all be taken from us.

I think this whole scenario will come about sooner or

later when we get the hyper-inflation driven economic

collapse that is almost assuredly coming. The Europeans just

might deliver it to you in a silver platter. At that point it will be a snap to put together a COS or

what I would call a “Coalition of States”.

Basically, the same as what you put together and (or) any

red state that wants to join us. So be patient... our day is coming.

You have to do it without currency ideally, Obama wants to create a VAT tax, we need to do it without a trace.
