Vermont Secession

"It doesn't make economic sense, it doesn't make political sense, it doesn't make historical sense. Other than that, it's a good idea." - Paul Gillies, former Vermont Deputy Secretary of State, historian and lawyer


    "Facts Are Stubborn Things"
    - John Adams

    " 'I think that the Vermont secessionist movement is over.
    Has been for a long time,'
    says Frank Bryan, a professor of political science at the University of Vermont," and a co-author of
    "Out! The Vermont Secession Book."

VNG (Vermont Army and Air Guard) Battle Flag


This is the flag carried by New Hampshire militia Brig. Gen. John Stark's force at the Battle of Bennington, VT on August 16, 1777.
For his success at Bennington, Stark was promoted to brigadier general of the US Continental Army.
His flag, then known as the Stark-Bennington Flag, later became known as the Green Mountain Boys flag.
The flag is now the official battle flag of the Vermont Army and Air National Guard.




Flags of the
Second Vermont Republic


This flag is the
standard of the present day
Second Vermont Republic.


This flag represents the movement by members of SVR to "collectivize" the assests of the State of Vermont and
re-create a Soviet-style centralized economy based on a report written by SVR members of UVM's Gund Institute.


This flag was used by various 2010 election campaigns of SVR,
such as gubernatorial candidate
Dennis Steele's campaign, managed by secessionist embed in the Occupy Vermont movement, Matt Cropp,
as well as at the official website
of the Second Vermont Republic
that is maintained by the
Magnolia Vermonter, Thomas Naylor.


This is the earliest known SVR flag which represents SVR's strong ties to the white supremacist League of the South that continue to this day.

      "Vicious"

      Thomas Naylor, the anti-Semitic
      & racist coddling founder of SVR,
      now deceased.

        Rob Williams, VTCommons journal hate blog publisher and a proponent of Lincoln historical revisionism.
          "Ridiculous"
          Alex Linder, neo-Nazi scum
            "I hate to admit it, but (Rowley's) actually starting to make sense..."
            Harold Thomas, Ohio Republic
              "There is nothing constructive on this blog... hack their websites(!)"

                  "Wow ur realy(sic) stupid aren't you?

                      the "temerity of anonymity"
                      Oddly, washed up freelancer, partisan political hack and frequent contributor to Rob Williams' hate blog, William Boardman, frothingly said this in the comments section of an article wherein he referred to his own anonymous source in three paragraphs. So let's add phony and hypocrite to his fluffed résumé.
                        Lincoln Derangement Syndrome (n):
                        A deeply-embedded psychosis held by many Vermont seceshers, Lost Causers, neo-Confederates and defenders of Southern Heritage™ like the white supremacists at the League of the South, indicated by the reflexive, knee-jerk response to any criticism of the Confederacy, by pointing out that (1) Abraham Lincoln held personal views about African Americans that were racist, (2) the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free any slaves, or (3) that Lincoln’s public policy position toward the institution of slavery changed over time.

                        There is no known cure.
                        Although it has been rumored that homeopathic researchers are working on a sugar pill treatment, they are said to be unsure as to what the correct dilution will be for
                        Lincoln hatred.

                                                Fair Use Disclaimer

                                            • "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." 


                                            • Under the 'fair use' rule of copyright law, an author may make limited use of another author's work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner's exclusive rights. 


                                            • Fair use as described at 17 U.S.C. Section 107:  "Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phono-records or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. 


                                            • In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 
                                            • (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for or nonprofit educational purposes,

                                              (2) the nature of the copyrighted work,

                                              (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and

                                              (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work."
