I posted last month about the Greater Idaho movement, which aims to move the border of Oregon to the west, allowing rural Oregonian counties to join Idaho, with which they are culturally and politically compatible. Initially there would be eleven counties that would switch from Oregon to Idaho, while others would be added later, possibly including several from northern California, and giving Idaho a Pacific coastline.
A bill to begin the consultation process with Oregon was formally introduced in the Idaho legislature earlier this week. Below is the press release sent out by Greater Idaho:
Greater Idaho Bill Introduced in Idaho Legislature
A bill that would invite Oregon to begin talks with the Idaho Legislature about relocating their state line was unanimously awarded a bill number, HJM 1, by the Idaho House of Representatives’ State Affairs Committee today after a short discussion. It was then read on the floor of the House. A full hearing before the committee was scheduled for February 13 at 9 AM.
Rep. Judy Boyle and Rep. Barbara Ehardt are the bill’s lead sponsors, and three cosponsors signed on to the bill immediately after it was printed. Rep. Boyle, whose district shares a border with Oregon, gave the committee several reasons to support the bill. She explained that her county has been overwhelmed by drugs since Oregon changed its laws on marijuana and decriminalized hard drugs. She said moving the state line would move the problem farther away.
Rep. Boyle cited a forthcoming final report on a major economic analysis that was funded by the Claremont Institute. The study found that relocating the state border would provide a net benefit to the government of Idaho’s budget of $170 million annually.
Lastly, she said that relocating the border would ease the intense influx of people to the current counties of Idaho, as some of the migration is politically motivated. The proposed relocation would increase Idaho’s territory by 74% while increasing the state’s population by 21% according to the “Greater Idaho” movement’s website greateridaho.org.

The bill introduced today [February 1] mirrors a bill introduced into this session of the Oregon Legislature by Senator Dennis Linthicum.
Also, the Greater Idaho movement has also announced a film contest to crowdsource its next YouTube ad.
and San Bernardino County is preparing to secede from the State of California and become its own state or maybe join Arizona. What is scary about that is the new state line would be right across the street from me.
I would love if this happened. Or if the northern part of California became Jefferson. And I would love if Texas seceded, too. But, you know what the chance of this happening are? Zero. Oh, if we are fortunate enough for the America In Name Only government to collapse, it might happen. But, at least in the foreseeable future, Oregon will not approve for parts of its “empire” to secede.
A review of the irreconcilable political differences points towards three natural divisions of the country and some parts uniting with Canada and Mexico.
1. The South West quarter of the disunited states have common beliefs (California south of San Francisco, Arizona, New Mexico} and a soon-to-be overwhelming Hispanic population. Therefore, they would become part of Mexico.
2. The East-Central part of the US (North of Virginia, East of central Pennsylvania), will become either independent or a part of New Canada. Therefore, combining East Central US with Eastern Canada makes sense for the viability of those regions. They could form Wokestan.
3. A North West to the South East portion, running from Alaska to Florida and would form a viable new country, a New America. It will include Alaska, BC, Alberta, parts of Idaho and Washington, Montana, Texas, and Florida.
These three divisions will have the wherewithal to form nations with enough shared values to survive. The present US cannot be reformed from within, and a reformation from without will destroy everything. So separation and divorce seem the only viable options. Those with present power will fight like hell, but if they win, they won’t have a country to follow them. The geopolitical reality is much different than the 1861-65 Civil War.
I am afraid I have to disagree, we now live in a very Balkanized disunited states, since the immigration act of 1964 we have essentially cut off our European brothers and sisters and let the 3rd world flood us with low IQ and low skill parasites, so this will quickly devolve into tribal conflict where winner takes it all or loses it all. The ethnic cleansing that will result will make a Serb blush with envy at the scope and scale of it all. Europe will quickly follow suit where there will be military coups and dictatorships that arise out of the ashes.
If this succeeds, will eastern Washington want to make Idaho even greater?
Need to continue the line north and south, freeing the good people of Eastern Washington and extreme Northern California. Maybe contact people in Alberta and Eastern B.C. and see if they want to join the party.
