Northern Colorado Secession Plans

I know it has been a while, but the last two weeks I was extremely busy with some rogue forex trading which I needed to focus on in order to keep everything intact. The life of a rogue forex trader can be extremely rewarding; having said that there may be times when you guys will miss me and my rogue forex trades here as more pressing matters require my full attention such as my trade set-ups for the next few weeks.

While I was analyzing charts in order to find the next rogue forex trade which I will share with you guys on Monday, I did have some time to stumble across a very interesting article which I could not keep to myself. It has to do with Colorado or rather Northern Colorado which wants to become the first state to secede since West Virginia seceded from Virginia back in 1863 during the Civil War. This was 14 years before Colorado even joined the union.

Since then there has been no secession in the US, but it was only a matter of time. Northern Colorado is serious about it and a total of eight counties are in secession plans together. I am rather excited about this, but do not get too excited forex traders. I doubt they will have their own currency and merely adopt the US Dollar as their currency which means now new currency crosses to trade.

Which eight counties want to form the 51^st state?

• Kit Carson County
• Logan County
• Morgan County
• Phillips County
• Sedgwick County
• Washington County
• Weld County
• Yuma County

There may be two Nebraska counties who would like to join the new state as well as two Kansas counties which means that there could be up to 12 counties from three different states who would like to secede and form their own state which they can govern free of socialistic left-wing propaganda.

Secession talks are usually heavy in Texas which continues to see an increase in secession wishes from the US while Austin would like to secede from Texas. I think this shows the extreme dissatisfaction of the growing general public with the current system and those who understand the US constitution want to break away from Washington and be allowed to operate their state for their constituents and away from left-wing idiots.

The counties who wish to form their own state represents the rural areas and want to fight in order to preserve their way of life, which given the abuse of freedom as well as the US constitution over the last five years makes perfect sense. I applaud the people who have created the idea, fight for it and stand up for it as well as those who support it.

Weld county commissioners Sean Conway, Mike Freeman and Douglas Rademacher are leading the secession coalition and want to put secession on a ballot so voters can decide if they are on board with secession and in order for the process to move forward. US Representative Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, also support the coalition. After voters agree on secession from Colorado, the Colorado General Assembly needs to agree on it and give the counties the green light. The final hurdle lies within the US Congress and their final approval.

The process is lengthy and most think impossible to achieve, but the coalition is already mapping the borders of the new state and are 100% serious about this matter. I can only hope for the citizens of the counties who want to do the right thing for them and their lifestyles that they actually secede from Colorado.

I will continue to follow the developments out of Colorado, more out of personal interest than business interest as it will not have any impact on forex markets. I think over the next decade we will see more and more secession talks and the eventual break-up of the US as we know it now. At that point forex markets will take note as we may see a complete split of the US over the next three decades into multiple independent countries.
