In the linked article Frank Staples points out NH has never ceded property to the federal government under the legal process defined by NH legislation, therefore NH can assert states rights and claim back taxes on all federal claimed and occupied property in NH.

“Additionally, pursuing back taxes and interest from the federal government will not only assert our legal rights but also provide a significant financial boost to our state.”

  • Frank Staples

History indicates it is unlikely the NH Governor, legislature, or state courts asserting legal rights will provide any significant funding to NH as back taxes and fees for land use. IMO the federal government will ignore NH “asserting”, including having federal judges issue options in federal cases that NH can’t legally do it.

SCOTUS will simply invent a new (albeit false) interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, or cite a majority opinion of a previous Court. If the political environment at the time prefers the Court objecting to NH “asserting”, the major of the nine politically connected lawyers who wear bathrobes to work will go with the politics.

NH cannot be allowed to assert its lawful authority by the federal government. Allowing that would destroy two centuries of steady and relentless growth of federal power and usurpation of state sovereignty.

Without the threat of independence on the table, hanging over the heads of DC elites in power, I don’t see how NH can go as far as Frank Staples proposes.

But hey, try it! Assert state sovereignty. I’m 100% in favor. Frank’s plan is awesome and I’d love to see it implemented. I just have little hope for success based on all US history since at least 1861 and King Lincoln’s tyrannical reign. It’s more likely to provide only small gains in a few areas IMHO, not anything that can be legitimately called state sovereignty.

“Stop taking about constitutions.”

  • Ian Underwood

Without the threat of and plan in place for potential secession to back up a US state asserting its lawful authority as a member of the Union, the assertion will fall on deaf ears in Washington DC. The Feds don’t give a shit.

August 23rd episode of the Part of the Problem podcast

Q: “What is the most effective strategy for libertarians to influence policy in a political landscape dominated by two major parties?”

A1: Running the gayist guy you have”.

  • Robbie The Fire

A2: There is no one most effective strategy. There is the LP trying to pressure Trump into taking more libertarian positions, my strategy of telling the truth in front of the biggest audiences I can, the Free State Project’s geographic concentration strategy, and pulling your kids out of government schools.

  • Dave Smith

(Summary of Dave’s answer providing his thoughts on four most effective strategies)

From Q&A section at end of the August 23 episode of Part Of The Problem

While not all Free Staters support secession, the geographic concentration strategy will never ube fully effective without NH ending its delegation of authority to the biggest empire in the history of Earth. Secession is a necessary step to living in liberty.

All history of these United States indicates NH will never be a truly free state without leaving the union. Decentralization is key - without a national divorce “The Free State” will always remain just a description of the least tyrannical state under the thumb of the Empire, a slogan, and a goal.

The Free State can never be better than just the freest oppressive US state in practice without leaving the Union.

Something quite extraordinary is happening in Australia.

Over the past few weeks, many key authoritative figures - former PMs, top strategists, etc. - came out against AUKUS and US imperialism, in favor of Australian independence.

What are the actual steps to a successful revolution of society?

https://mises.org/podcasts/radio-rothbard/meaning-revolution

https://mises.org/online-book/egalitarianism-revolt-against-nature-and-other-essays/10-meaning-revolution

Murray Rothbard

“Most people, when they hear the world “revolution,” think immediately and only of direct acts of physical confrontation with the State: raising barricades in the streets, battling a cop, storming the Bastille or other government buildings. But this is only one small part of revolution. Revolution is a mighty, complex, long-run process, a complicated movement with many vital parts and functions. It is the pamphleteer writing in his study, it is the journalist, the political club, the agitator, the organizer, the campus activist, the theoretician, the philanthropist. It is all this and much more. Each person and group has its part to play in this great complex movement.”
