  California secession organizers say they've opened an embassy -- in Moscow                  
                                            
           California gained an embassy in Russia last weekend, at least in the eyes of those who have promised to seek a statewide vote on secession,
nicknamed "Calexit," in 2018.  
     Louis Marinelli, a San Diego resident who is the leader of the group promoting         an effort to turn the state into an independent country        , organized the Moscow event that was publicized on social media.        "We want to start laying the groundwork for a dialogue about an
independent California joining the United Nations now," he said in an
email Monday.  
                   Marinelli is currently working as an English teacher in Russia, and
said he is there working on immigration issues related to his wife, who
is a Russian national.

Well if they leave the union they will need military protection I imagine it will be much cheaper for them to just host Russian bases than pay the US for their safe keeping so this move makes sense.

We should let them go, invade them and lay waste to everything, then install Paul as Supreme Emperor commander as the leader of a puppet government controlled by the US.

Why don't they just personally secede (i.e. emigrate) to the country of their choice. There are lots of countries out there willing accept Americans (and American money), even more so if you are willing to take a job like teaching English.

Let them go after they get out of prison:

Article III, Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

But didn't we settle all that in 1865?

I guess they don't teach history in schools any more.

Cause here's the rub.  Most countries have actual immigration laws that state you have to have both an ability to contribute to their country (a marketable skill) AND enough money to hold you over in savings for a set time period (6-12mo usually).

The vast majority of people in California (and the U.S. for that matter) are living on credit and don't actually have the second part covered.

It appears the libs will do anything to get the US into a war with Russia.

Well of course. Russia is now more democratic with greater freedom than the US,isn't controlled by war mongering George Soros and his Wall Street minions and Californians are able to respect a real,strong leader.

The Kalifornians will find out their embassy is even more communist than Moscow.

Once they are a separate country, I wonder how long it will take for some enterprising individuals to do the math on the wealth they have vs the military they do not have. The cartels will almost certainly try to take over immediately. It will get bloody real quick, possibly even French Revolution style if the super rich stay there.

If it happened (which it wont) there would be a mass exodus. Vegas and Phoenix would be over run. Not good. We're full and couldn't handle the influx. It would be a fucking mess.

I can't see our pandering nation ever letting a state secede. Feds I think would negotiate anything to keep Cali in the union. Strange days ahead though.

Occupy a government building and you are a terrorist. Occupy a state and its all cool. Something tells me this will go nowhere but it is California . Uncle Sam is not just going to gove that ground. Remember this is more possible in Cali than in Texas because people will sign anything there and vote how they are told . And second there are a lot of Mexicans there who want California for themselves . If they somehow got the Mexican immigrants to go along with the Liberal Utopia idea this could move forward

We should send in a new General Sherman to march to the sea, and burn, rape, and pillage the entire state. For Freedom.

I signed up on their Facebook page but they kept taking down all my supportive questions, like where do I send money, and where will we hold the riots?

Sucking up to our enemies shows what they are really about. Those on the right who think succession is a bright idea had better think twice. You will become a discarded useless tool when you have served their purpose.

As much as I think it would be a hilarious shitshow to watch their utter failure as an independent nation, there's no way the feds are going to let those seaports leave their control.

Long term outlook for the embassy may not ne good. Los Angeles Times today "California’s low birth rates are helping prolong a decade-long trend of minimal population growth. The 0.75 percent increase between July of 2015 and 2016 marks 12 consecutive years that the state has gone without a bump above 1 percent. That’s a far cry from last century’s growth, which at times soared to 3 percent or more annually.

“In the ’70s and ’80s, we were pretty much a new state, with plenty of opportunity and open land, and many people came here,” said Walter Schwarm, a demographer with the Department of Finance. “Now, we look like a state that isn’t at that point anymore. We’re a mature state.”

As with the birth rate, the number of people moving to California has done little to boost the state’s population. While the level of newcomers has gone up since the late 2000s, when the recession discouraged many from coming here, migration to California remains low by historical standards."

It would be awesome for America if Cali left. Why be sad? And no I don't care about sucking off California's tax money.
