Take down the Berlin Wall of the Pacific Northwest : sovereignty, then statehood

No not at all (comment re article on corrupt border officials and border services abuses of power)

The Berlin Wall of the Northwest divides the West Coast artificially and often nastily. This should just not be, and I must point out and very strongly and pointedly that it was drawn by London and Washington very long ago and remains to divide us to benefit Central Canada.... Including the limitations on Vancouver's economy and our freedom of movement in many ways including the prevention of the development of aerospace and other high tech so The Dominion's central dominant provinces are where much goes down that COULD be going on here.... Why do Ottawa and Toronto and Montreal control Vancouver and the rest of the Pacific Slope and the Conquered West (AB, SK, MB and the Lakehead i.e. The Nord-Ouest of Louis Riel)?  To prevent the emergence of more powerful rivals to its own control of the northern half of the Continent and lay its greedy hands on the North and the transmontane West, that's why.

The Peace Arch at the Douglas/White Rock border crossing to Blaine says on it by its open steel gates, unclosed symbolically, "May These Gates Never Be Closed".

Well they're only wide open for money and the rich is what it amounts to - even though when it was put up it wasn't the Twenty Questions and arbitrary strip searches and vehicle dismantling and uniformed anality and tensions no free citizen of either the Union or The Dominion should have to face..... I say that it's time to open them forever and prepare for joining the US as Free Cordillera and ridding us of the artificial and too difficult division of the Lower Mainland from Whatcom County avd the rest of the Georgia - Puget Sound - Juan de Fuca region and Oregon and California.... California from whence we as a settler colony were founded - and fulfill our part in Manifest Destiny by finally ditching control from the Canadas (Upper and Lower) and joining the Union at last.

Why not join the US as a state and have freedoms that can't be revoked by a notwithstanding clause and not be ruled by petty despots called first ministers?

Ironically Native North Americans due to the Jay Treaty can already cross the border more freely than settler nations /peoples can, and due to the lack of Crown treaties are already actually Sovereign.  Why not also all of us??

I know it sounds crazy but it's crazier to keep on putting up wyrf the East 's bullshit and the farce and manufactured fake nationalism of the Land of the Maple Leaf and the sentiment that maintains the farce of Parliaments in Victoria and Ottawa....

Sovereign Free Cordillera can enshrine in its constitution language and religious rights... Or rather its constituent cantons and nations... universal health care and the 2nd Amendment requires well - organized militias.... Given the Robocop-like nature of the national paramilitary (the Mounties aka The Force) and Border Services etc militias for the sovereign nations like Wet'suwet'en and Tsilhqot'in and a locally drawn National Guard controlled by us - not the East - make great sense.

The border is 173 years old (1846) and both a nuisance and obsolete.... As is the so called Confederation which has never been fair and since 1867 has meant subjugating us to rule by the Dominion of the Canadas.... Without fair and equitable representation in the too distant capital on the Ottawa River.

Alberta is having a referendum on separation = statehood next year.... I say we beat them to it.... 85% of Free Columbia is already sovereign which means there is nothing in international law preventing it requiring us to even negotiate..... Especially with US support.....

Rather than be invaded and annexed forcibly like Teddy Roosevelt threatened to do during the Alaska Boundary Dispute or as in War Plan Red or as almost happened as interventions during the 30s during the Vancouver General Strike etc of that decade or in 1983 had the general strike of the Solidarity Movement in 1983 gone forward, let's willingly join as a free state of the Union and welcome them in as fellow citizens not as occupied or conquered or slaughtered in the process.

I've been a brainwashed "Canadian" nationalist all my life but no longer..... Not at all. I'm a free citizen on sovereign land and want to see the indigenous nations govern themselves and our cities and towns and valleys and islands also self-governing as constituent components of a Swiss-style free state of Cordillera or Pacifica or whatever (the name Cascadia sucks imo) and the invisible glass wall of the 49th and its stern steel waj of suspicion and search at ground level taken down once and for all.

We can make the US better by joining them and that glass wall that separates us from kin and friends and commerce and east travel with our neighbouring cities and nations....

No I'm not a paid American agent though sure wouldn't mind some financial and moral support from Stateside at all (inbox me... I'd rather hear from the CIA before CSIS doesn't even knock as I'm talking sedition against the Crown... and them).... I live on the TCH and am easy to find.... But visibility is better than invisibility and the louder and more vocal I am the more my disappearance or detention will be internationally visible.

The Invisible Wall of the 49th also prevents me from helping my sweet little cousin in the Kitsap... Less than 275 miles from me... Where she lives in her van and was stolen from and taken advantage of.... She's a few years younger than me and like me doesn't want things or money, just somewhere to live and needs people around her who love her and just wants to take care of animals like she has done since she was 4H-er....she was orphaned young when her dad my Uncle Don died... Her mom survived many years but Candace (Candass now by her choice) has been on her own mostly since. The Berlin Wall of the Northwest keeps me from helping her to get to the nhce organic farm I live on where she can be happy and safe.... And have some lambs to raise again somewhere nobody will steal fti from her and she has friends and a cousin who loves her and friends to watch over her....

All castles in the sky for now, but all do-able by summer if enough people realize the revelation of the lie of Confederation and the ugly tyranny of the false Crown and sham parliamentary system.... I'm not a leader only a voice... The people must lead... Especially the young like you Wyatt Scott and others younger of all nations, new and indigenous and among the Army of the Poor whose ranks I have been on for years....

Canada used violence and masses troops and paramilitary against sovereign governments with titles and boundaries older than ROME or even TROY and it doesn't even have the legal right to even be west of the Rockies FFS.

Only fear of change and of what the US is like right now prevents people from taking action.... And control and manipulations by the colonialist media controlled from Toronto and in NatPo papers' case owned by a conservative hedge fund in NYC not reporting truth or skloeun free debate and diverse opinions.... Nor does the Tyee which is an NDP organ and Pfft full of pretentious "progressive" bullshit.

Vive la Columbie-Libre, vive Les nations et assemblees souverains de la Cordillera... A bas la Corunne et le tyrannie faux du Canada. Vibe aussi la Republique de Terre-Neuve /Republic of Newfoundland and the United Acadian Federation of a liberated PEI /NS / NB and also yeah Vive l'Alberta Libre aussi... MB and SK aussi though imo SK should join AB on its referendum and be part of the new state of by whatever name and MB and the Lakehead forming the natural unit they were there until Queen's Park sent in the OPP to take Rat Portage (Kenora) to take it from Manitoba by force.....

The US really only wants the two western provinces as came out in a leaked State Department report during the Meech Lake Accord fiasco but they'd take the Maritimes and the Lakehead /Manitoba and Newfoundland (which almost joined them in fact but Joey Smallwood suckered them with Ottawa's help) no problem.

2 new stars and 4 senators from the new western states is a good thing... 10 new stars and 20 senators in the US flag would be even better.... Ontario can be last dvd the 11th new star of they want.... Quebec won't of course but that's fine it's their destiny... And we have ours.... It's called Manifest Destiny and I no longer have any fear of or hostility towards it at all.... Makes one whole lot more sense than remaining under The Dominion's jackboot and bring drowned in treacle-y maple leaf nationalism even one more year.... Even one more month....the coming federal and provincial elections are both farces of shammery and scammery and use buggered up and unfair electoral systems

The Great Cree Nation and Denendeh and the Gitxsan-Wet’suwet’en Confederacy and St’at’imc and Tsilhqot’in Nations and the rest should be sovereign and self - governing... Including the Iroquois Confederacy - the Six Nations plus the Ganienkehaka of the Mohawk haudenosaunee... The Iroquois Confederacy was internationally recognized and in maps and a signatory nation at the Congress of Vienna which ended in 1837 and was erased from it by Lord Durham when he “organized “ Upper and Lower Canada after the Rebellions of 1837-38.

It's time... It really is avd it can happen fast.... Why wait for a referendum held under the auspices of the Crown like Alberta is doing when there is no Crown here other than the pretense of one and we are already sovereign???

Take down the wall.... Once and for all and let those gates at the Peace Arch be taken off completely and the Arch be painted on rainbow colours of a new flag and its beautiful park by Semiahmoo Bay be a symbol of the peaceful Union of the Sovereign Commonwealth of Cordilleran Nations entry into the Union in Peace and Friendship as the next new state and next star on the American flag.

As I said in my other post last night why stop the Cascadia Maglev at Greater Vancouver when it can go all the way to Anchorage and Interstates 5, 15 and 25 also? Lots of jobs in that and hordes of Americans are coming north on in swarms due to fires and drought and superstorms and rapidly rising sea levels anyway.... Let's make them welcome and make it easier for them to get to the remaining habitable regions in the High North and they'll love us and be proud we joined them and made America bigger and better like the Orange One campaigned for.

Don't anyone think that we're strong enough to say no or can refuse them or resist without bloodshed and oppression... That goes for the indigenous nations too.... We are not in a bubble and it's better to join on our terms rather than being overwhelmed by theirs....

Ecological /economic and looming geotechnical disasters including the next Big Nine+ Cascadia Subduction Zone Quake and others the public doesn't know about yet which are even more terrifying need local coordination and direction... Not Ottawa's unknowing and uncaring meddling and Toronto media saying “oh dear”....

The Line isn't just an impingement on regional and personal freedoms it's also a major obstruction to the realities of public safety in coming crises which Ottawa doesn't even know about nor would it much care about and would have to ask American help for anyway..

They already own or operate /manage most of the provincial government anyway since 2001..why not take statehood so we can have a say in what goes on here and not let a political system or party owned or obligated by corporate and foreign interests run the show.?

Two Senators and a passel of Congressmen in DC and a say in choosing the POTUS... and their gratitude for joining them.... Will get us more in one year than Ottawa ever has since 1867....
