The cofounder of the California separatist group Yes California said in an interview Monday that the group welcomes "the vocal support" of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who recently began tweeting about the California independence campaign known as "Calexit."
"Ultimately the Calexit vote and its preceding debate will be up to Californians to decide but we welcome the vocal support of Julian Assange, as we would for any individual with the courage to stand up against and defy the powers that be in order to affect positive change in this world," said Louis Marinelli, the cofounder. "That's what our campaign is all about."
Marinelli, a 31-year-old activist, announced in a 1,600-word statement on Monday that he would return to California after spending just over a year in Russia's fourth-largest city, Yekaterinburg, with his wife Anastasia.
Let's see, cozy with the Russians, and being supported by Julian Assange, does this seem eerily familiar to anybody else?
I rally thought this Calexit bullshit had died in its sleep after the Brexit fiasco blew up over in Britain. But apparently somebody is attempting to resuscitate it and get it back on its feet again.
Now ask yourself which political party would stand to benefit the most from California seceding from the United States?
And which country would love to sew the seeds of discontent in the most influential liberal state on the planet?
Keep in mind that though overall significantly more intelligent than their conservative counterparts, there are still some easily manipulated members on the liberal side as well.
This is clearly an attempt to cause friction among California voters, and to undermine the effectiveness that California wields as a political force in this country.
Only an idiot would support this.
Or a Russian operative of course.
