Topic: Annexation

Archie Lowe outlines the legal argument that Texas was never lawfully annexed by the United States, as the 1844 treaty failed in the Senate and was replaced by a constitutionally questionable joint resolution. He asserts that Texas became a military captive of the U.S. in 1865 and, under international law, retains the right to re-establish its independence.

The Republic of Texas organization continues to operate its congress and foreign affairs despite the incarceration of its leadership. Richard McLaren explains that the group is utilizing modern United Nations human rights treaties and the historical Law of Nations to challenge the legality of the 1845 annexation. He threatens to use these international legal frameworks to disrupt international commerce and bring the current court system to a standstill.

A letter from the Archives of the State of Texas, reportedly signed by Christopher LaPlata, is cited as evidence that the state lacks documentation proving the legal annexation of Texas into the Union. The discussion references the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, arguing the original intent was military protection rather than total absorption. McLaren suggests that global investors are moving money into hard currencies like gold and silver as the Republic prepares to challenge the existing financial system.

The City of Austin's annexation plans are criticized as a bad deal rooted in regionalism and the establishment of a global world order. The host argues that the city seeks to make residents dependent on centralized water and electrical systems while burdening them with debt and regulation. He dismisses the current neighborhood opposition as loyal opposition because they focus on service guarantees rather than rejecting the annexation entirely.
