Western Maryland Counties Talk Secession. Become Mountaineers or Subtract Eastern Panhandle?

This could become very interesting.  For it may in fact turn out to be what the Eastern Panhandle has been waiting for (see the WSAZ article), i.e. the opportunity to secede from the "Charleston regime" that controls West Virginia government.  The discontent has been growing.

Historically, the Eastern Panhandle had more controversy (and highly doubtful voting tabulations) during West Virginia's secession and founding perhaps than any other part.  (See our previous articles regarding the unconstitutional founding of West Virginia, including the controversy documented on West Virginia Public Television).  The Eastern Panhandle has been griping ever since and this could potentially provide them the opportunity to secede from "Charleston" control and join western Maryland counties to form another and possible 51st State, all legal and Constitutional, providing the State governments grant their consent (a big if, but it could be demanded).

More Shocking Truth: The Real History of West Virginia, 150th Anniversary

While the West Virgina Public Broadcast production of the Road to Statehood (previous post) was fairly revealing about the controversial formation of West Virginia, this video, with well-documented sources and quotes, goes even further by illustrating how the minority of politicians in Wheeling basically hijacked and hoodwinked the public of western Virginia and manipulated things within the counties to achieve their own desired outcome.   This shows even more remarkably how West Virginia was formed by fraud against both the citizens of western Virginia counties, and the eastern panhandle, as well as against the Constitution of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Especially notice how many of western Virginia's counties voted and supported in favor of Virginia's Secession from the Union!  The colored map tells it all.  To this day it is also noticeable in some counties in particular what their historical leanings were and still are (e.g. Jackson, Boone, Logan, et al).

It is doubtful that West Virginia government schools are teaching your children the truth about just why and how West Virginia was actually formed, or rather coerced politically into Statehood.  It is doubtful most West Virginians know, including those who hold office in government.  Maybe this is why there is so much waving of the Union, federal U.S. flag all the time instead of even the State flag of West Virginia.  The Reconstruction and political propaganda have never ceased to pretend that it was a majority view to break from Virginia and to justify what can be considered no other than an illegally formed state.

150 Years Ago: Virginia Secedes From Union, Federal Government Perverted Its Powers

                Virginia Ordinance of Secession

April 17, 1861 Virgina Secession Convention approves the wording of a referendum of secession and calls for a popular vote to approve it.


AN ORDINANCE to repeal the ratification of the Constitution of the United State of America by the State of Virginia, and to resume all the rights and powers granted under said Constitution.

The people of Virginia in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in convention on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having declared that the powers granted under said Constitution were derived from the people of the United States and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression, and the Federal Government having perverted said powers not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern slave-holding States:

Now, therefore, we, the people of Virginia, do declare and ordain, That the ordinance adopted by the people of this State in convention on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, and all acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying and adopting amendments to said Constitution, are hereby repealed and abrogated; that the union between the State of Virginia and the other States under the Constitution aforesaid is hereby dissolved, and that the State of Virginia is in the full possession and exercise of all the rights of sovereignty which belong and appertain to a free and independent State.

And they do further declare, That said Constitution of the United States of America is no longer binding on any of the citizens of this State.

This ordinance shall take effect and be an act of this day, when ratified by a majority of the voter of the people of this State cast at a poll to be taken thereon on the fourth Thursday in May next, in pursuance of a schedule hereafter to be enacted.

Adopted by the convention of Virginia April 17,1861.
