On paper, the leader of the California secession movement lives in an apartment complex near San Diego’s Golden Hill neighborhood. But in reality, the Calexit campaign is being run by a 30-year-old who lives and works in a city on the edge of Siberia. Louis Marinelli heads the secessionist group Yes California. Following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, the organization has gone from an unknown fringe group to one discussed seriously in mainstream media.

What has not been discussed as prominently is Marinelli’s deep ties to Russia. A former right-wing activist from Buffalo, New York, Marinelli first moved to Russia almost a decade ago. He studied at St. Petersburg State University, the alma mater of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He returned to the United States to campaign against LGBTQ rights as part of the National Organization for Marriage. Marinelli then returned to Russia. He would marry a Russian citizen, and the couple moved to San Diego, where Marinelli launched a political career based on a platform of California secession.

She can be right once in a very long while after all

kidding of course as over the years I've agreed with her now and again. FWIW I don't completely agree with her here other than that there is a Russian effort to help it along and that the leader of Yes California is a Russian

California's problem is they got regulations that regulate the regulations regulating regulations. Home prices and rents are artificially high because of the pieces of filth running the show. My part of the state will stay in the USA whether it's part of CA or not. In fact, that's preferable for many here.
