The Case for Treason.

Vic Biorseth, Monday, July 30, 2012

What, exactly, is Treason? From the American Constitution:

Section. 3. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I submit that “levying war” on the American Constitution is, precisely, levying war against the United States. The Constitution is what Constitutes and makes up the United States. If it wasn’t for the Constitution, the United States would not exist.

The Presidential Oath of Office, again, from the Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, no one is above it, and no law from any source may be superimposed over it or in its place. All new legislated law must conform to the Constitution and not oppose or violate it in any way. All Legislative and Judicial officeholders are required to affirm the legal supremacy of the Constitution and to solemnly promise to preserve and protect it before they assume office. From Article VI of the Constitution:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Again, to repeat the point: I submit that “levying war” on the American Constitution is, precisely, levying war against the United States. The Constitution is what Constitutes and makes up the United States. If it wasn’t for the Constitution, the United States would not exist. Whatever does injury to the Constitution does injury to America as founded and as Constituted.

There have been too many violations of the Constitution committed under this administration to count. It passed the point of treason long ago. The President, the Vice President, multiple members of the House and of the Senate, and five Justices of the Supreme Court have all violated their oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. If their actions stand, then the Constitution itself may as well not even exist.

For my evidences, I invite you to re-read the American Constitutional Principles page, paying particular attention to all the Constitutional violations. If you ignore all but the ones involved in Obamacare, you will still see multiple radical violations of the Constitution by all participants, all of whom were sworn to defend the Constitution, and all of whom violated their oaths of office. Just right off the bat, there is nothing in Article 1 Section 8 about the federal government providing either health care or health care insurance for the population. Such radical overreaching, as has been done on a lesser scale by administrations since Woodrow Wilson, violates the Constitutional principle that the powers of the federal government are limited and enumerated by Article 1 Section 8.

We never even should have gone there. But that’s not all, if you read how it was passed in the linked article. It wasn’t even legislated Constitutionally. It wasn’t even signed into a law Constitutionally. It violated the most important Constitutional principle of all – that the Constitution itself protects the people from the government. With this abomination of a law, the federal government may now order citizens to buy something they do not wish to buy, and legally punish them if they do not buy it. The scope of this completely new and completely unconstitutional new government power is absolutely unlimited.

The Purpose for America’s Being is laid out in our Delcaration of Independence, and our national organization – our Constitution – is therein called for to protect and defend our national purpose for being. For the first time in world history, a nation was born and designed to be a nation of laws and not merely of men; a nation with guaranteed citizen rights, and with established legal protection of the people from their own government. This is what we get from our Declaration:

• That all men are created equal, meaning that we all stand equal before the law, in a land where no man is above the law. American citizens enjoy legal equality, i.e., equality of opportunity. Equal opportunity naturally flows out from equal treatment before the law. There can be no equal opportunity in the absence of equality before the law.

• That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights – these rights are not given by man, or by government, or by any worldly authority. The rights are an endowment of God, and no man, and no government, may ever interfere with them or take them away.

• That among these rights are Life … it is an irrevocable right of all in this land to live an uninterrupted life. No innocent human is to be deprived of life, and no guilty person is to be deprived of life without due process of law, before which he stands equal to all other men.

• Liberty … here Liberty does not mean merely the freedom from being bound to any employer or any property owner or any class or order of men; it also means freedom from the American government. Here men are free so long as they adhere to the law, including especially the supreme law of the land, which is the Constitution. An American may live where he chooses, move about freely and as often as he wishes, work for any employer, change employment, and not be directed or controlled in his daily activities by government.

• Pursuit of Happiness … which means that a citizen is free to work for his own advantage, profit by his own work, and choose what that work might be. He may create his own business or hire himself out to work for others, as he and he alone sees fit. Here a man may find his own niche where he will be happiest. When men have Liberty and they enjoy the right to the Pursuit of Happiness, then and only then the Free Market – i.e., Capitalism – springs forth and automatically comes into being.

• To secure these rights –
  1. Equality before the law;

  2. Life;

  3. Liberty;

  4. The Pursuit of Happiness

  – the government is established, deriving it’s just powers from the consent of the governed.

• When government destroys these rights, it is the right of the People to altar or abolish it and institute new government;

• The foundational Principles and formal Organization (Constitution) of the powers of government are to be laid in such a way as to reestablish and protect these God-given rights –
  1. Equality before the law;

  2. Life;

  3. Liberty;

  4. The Pursuit of Happiness.

This, then, is the very purpose for our Constitution, and the very purpose for our American national being. It is why we exist as a nation, and how we are to proceed in securing our founding national principles and citizen rights, and in the control of our government. Thus, we are a nation of laws, and not of men. The law stands above our government, and does not subsist in the government. The government is ruled by the law, rather than the law being ruled by the government. Administrations come and go; Congresses come and go; Supreme Courts come and go; only the law remains. We the People are the sovereign citizens of the American nation. We have our three co-equal branches of government to counter-balance and hold each other in conformity with the supreme law, but there is a fourth co-equal partner to consider: We the People. We are the final check on the government.

I submit that the three branches of the American government have failed in their responsibility to keep law within the constraints of the Constitution. Obamacare presents the most recent and the most egregious example of this total failure, but certainly not the first one. As we said before, most recently in the Anti-American Americans page, in the Restoring America section, the three branches are co-equal; none has any special superiority over the other branches. There is nothing in the Constitution, for instance, granting special Constitutional interpretive authority to the Court over the other two branches. The fact that, since the 1803 Maybury v. Madison case law precedent, the Supreme Court showed that it could strike down unconstitutional law, represents a legal precedent, not a Constitutional principle. The other two branches have exactly the same ability and responsibility to keep Court findings within the constraints of the Constitution. The fact that they have never done it does not mean that it cannot or should not be done. It merely means that the other two branches have failed in their responsibility to the Constitution and to the People. Again, read the Anti-American Americans page for examples of when and how they should have acted just as the Court did in Maybury v. Madison.

Legislated law that violates the Constitution is no law.

Legal Precedent that violates the Constitution is no Legal Precedent.

Executive Order that violates the Constitution is no Executive Order.

Unlegislated Regulation that violates the Constitution is no law.

It may be argued that Unlegislated, Unrepresentative Regulation is no law.

Court Decisions that violate the Constitution have no legal standing.

Back to the Treason argument.

Violation of one’s oath of office is a “high crime or misdemeanor” at the very least, and may indeed be treason. I submit that violation of one’s oath of office is therefore, at the very least, an impeachable offense. Impeachment may be applied against any and all civil officers of the United States, and is not limited to the President and Vice President alone. Senators, Representatives and Supreme Court Justices, all, may be impeached from office. See Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution. Anyone may be tried for treason.

But treason involves more than merely violating one’s oath of office, and it is, as it should be, a more difficult charge to make. In the case of the passage of Obamacare, or the “Affordable” Health Care Act, the oaths of office were violated by:

1. The President, in signing it into law;

2. The Senators who voted to pass it;

3. The Representatives who voted to pass it;

4. The Supreme Court Justices who voted to constitutionally sustain it.

That all of these oaths of office were violated is clear and obvious to anyone who can read. There is virtually no part of this Bill-become-Law that is Constitutional. The question regarding the treason charge revolves round whether any oath violator intended, by that act, to destroy the legal supremacy of the Constitution, and thereby destroy America as founded and constituted. I submit that the Constitution is the USA; it is how we are constituted. Therefore, any President, Senator, Representative or Justice who purposely sought to destroy the legal supremacy of the Constitution was in fact a domestic enemy of America. (Enemy of America and enemy of the Constitution are synonymous terms.)

Any investigation into intent must therefore look not only into any possible conspiracy, but also at any clear adherence to alien enemy ideologies, which stand opposed to America and her Constitution. This adherence or commitment to an enemy ideology may be ascertained by the subject’s own written and spoken words, affiliations and actions. There are two major political ideologies that stand diametrically opposed to the American Constitution, and they are:

• the revolutionary, sociological, economic, political ideologies based on the writings of Karl Marx, under the broad title of Marxism;

• the religious, political, legal, theocratic ideologies based on the recorded words of Mohammed, under the broad title of Islam.

Both of these alien ideologies absolutely oppose the American Constitution, in all particulars, and they therefore pose a threat to America, and stand as enemy ideologies.

Marxism seeks and intends to eventually eliminate all private property, sovereignty, borders, nations and governments, including this one. Islam seeks and intends to eventually eliminate all other religions, all other legal systems, and all other forms of government, including this one. Both of these alien enemy ideologies fully intend to use violence, both have historically used violence, and both are currently using violence, as needed, to achieve their ultimate ideological ends.

Marxist Ideological Infiltration has had huge success in America since the publication of Marx’s Communist Manifesto in 1848. After multiple humiliating revolutionary failures, and after encountering the particularly tough-nut-to-crack American system, Marxism went underground and pretended to be other than what it was. It still followed the evil dictums of Machiavelli, and it still employed the infamous Hegelian Dialectic, and it still worked toward eventual revolution; but all that was tempered and somewhat camouflaged by the educational techniques of the likes of John Dewey, newer items like the Cloward-Piven Strategy, and the sneaky stratagems of the likes of Saul Alinsky. The organizers and agent-provocateurs put on suits and ties, political smiles, and pretended to love America as they went about their evil Marxist work.

Marxist ideology today can be identified among teachers, journalists, commentators, politicians and office holders by tendencies favoring redistributionism, movement toward controlling if not collectivizing the citizenry, opposition to Christianity and Judaism, tendency toward growing government to solve problems, encouraging class envy and class warfare, demonizing the rich and the successful, opposition to border security and sovereignty in general, and support for the “perfection” of mankind, the world, society and everything.

We went over how American culture was infiltrated and at least partially taken over by Marxist Ideology in the Anti-American Americans page, and I won’t repeat all that again here. Go to the link for more details of how it came to be. Even among those of us who are not Marxist ideologues, many see Marxist ideology as harmless, which is the worst imaginable situation. Many good Americans see this alien and enemy ideology as merely another, relatively innocent, political opinion. But, you see, it is not innocent; it is evil, and malevolent. Every part of it opposes the Constitution.

I submit that today, Marxist ideology virtually owns the Democrat Party, most of the “Establishment” Republican Party, Public Education, upper academia, journalism, the SLIMC, popular entertainment and celebrity. And it owns the current President. He is bred in it; he has steeped in it all his life.

Islamic ideological infiltration is a newer threat, but no less malevolent and treacherous than sneaking Marxism. Modern Islam has adopted many of Marxism’s deceptive stratagems, smiling as it works toward revolution from the inside. The Obama administration, the Democrat Party and the SLIMC are working in concert to mask the Islamic threat and to project Islam as a “religion of peace.” They even go so far as to purge words like terrorism or anything violent from any linkage whatsoever with the word Islam or Islamic. Reach-across-the-aisle establishment Republicans like John McCain and John Boehner fully cooperate in this pro-Islamic public propaganda, to the detriment of the American Constitution to which Islam is so vehemently and irreconcilably opposed.

If you somehow doubt that our current President despises Christianity and Judaism, and that he treats Islam in a highly preferential way, I invite you to read the Obama the Moslem page, and also view the video there. His own words convict him.

Marxism and Islam link up again as they did in World War II, to destabilize and destroy Western Culture before considering what to do about each other. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is the basis of this temporary alliance of mortal enemies. Both ideologies seek global domination and subjugation of all peoples; both cannot be successful at achieving that goal. But, they can “partner up” to defeat an enemy that is stronger than either of them. The fact that these malevolent ideologies of world conquest are not widely recognized for what they really are, is what makes them so very dangerous to the world. All you have to do is read the Manifesto. All you have to do is read the Koran. It’s all right there in front of our eyes.

The Fast and Furious Program involved US government agents purposely putting the best military light weaponry into the hands of Mexican murderers so that they would commit murders with them, and then the investigating US agents would implicate American gun shows and gun dealers in a highly public condemnation of Amendment 2 of the Constitution, with the willing aid of the SLIMC. It was intended to be a path to popular support for a repeal of the second amendment.

Now the second amendment was intended, like the rest of the Constitution, to protect the free citizenry from their government. The current administration intended to turn that upside down, like most other governments, so that the government was protected and more insulated from the people. We talked about this in the Gun Control page. The American notion of citizen gun rights is modeled after the Swiss example, in which every man is armed, keeps his arms at home, and even heavy, crew-served weaponry is maintained in private households. In Switzerland this was born of necessity, in a small country accessible at every point along its borders, from many nations, any one or all of which might turn hostile at any time. This principle is less important in America, but is still important; the larger intention of the American framers was to insure the American people against an eventually ruthless and domineering government. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, any government that cannot trust its people with arms cannot be trusted by its people.

I submit that once an honest investigation has been completed it will be shown that the intention of Fast and Furious was, from the beginning, a direct attack on the Constitution.

The Stealth Drone in Iran story is one you may not have even been aware of. It didn’t exactly make headlines. This is the not-deemed-newsworthy story of how a super-secret American military drone landed itself in Iran, right in front of Iranian and Red Chinese intelligence officers.

But, you see, it landed, and it turned itself over to the Iranians and the Red Chinese who were waiting for it. How? The official story, briefly spoken of once, and then dropped by the SLIMC, was that the Chinese or “someone” hacked into the code and took control of the drone, and delivered it to the Iranian officials and the Chinese agents who were waiting for it. I don’t know how this all happened, but I can tell you this with a high degree of certainty:

No one hacked into that code.

First of all, how would they know it existed?

This drone employed the most effective stealth technology in the world, completely invisible to radar. So, how did the Iranians (or anyone) even know it was there?

If it simply crashed, how would they know it, and how would they find it?

If it detected some mechanical break-down and needed to land itself, in the vastness of the Iranian desert, why would it pick a place to land itself right under the noses of those who wanted it, and then not self-destruct?

This was an Inside Job, with special security clearances required to pull it off that point directly at the highest levels of government. We have been betrayed. Mark my words: this weapon system, or some manifestation of it, will eventually be used against us. Perhaps in Afghanistan, perhaps in New York, perhaps in Washington DC, perhaps against some navy vessel or fleet. Huge mountains of formerly secret technologies involving stealth, radars, software, GPS, communications, physical optics, weaponry and more have been handed over to our enemies.

The Stealth Drone represents the perfect delivery system for multiple nuclear warheads or any other form of WMD, and now Iran has it, and the Red Chinese have it.

God help us. God help Israel. God help the world.

Once upon a time in this country, simple Truth was of vital importance. If there is any one thing that I have been taken to task for more than any other on this Website, it is that I tend to see everything as simple, black-and-white, true-or-untrue, no-shades-of-gray, right or wrong. I submit that everything is – or everything should be – just that simple. If we pay most attention to the most important things, all lesser issues just fall into place. God comes first; everything else sorts itself out.

Our Founding Fathers and the Framers of our Constitution never anticipated this situation. They never could have believed that the highest officers of the government they designed might violate their oaths of office, or take the oath so lightly as to be a small part of a mere ceremony, little more than a photo-op. They would never believe it.

In their day, a man’s word was his bond. If he said it, that was final. Any slight insinuation that a man’s word was in question might land you on the field of honor with a dueling pistol in your hand. And to put one’s hand on Scripture and solemnly swear to something was as serious as it could ever get. How could the Constitution be protected if men’s word had become worthless? How could the Constitution remain “The Law” if no officers of the government steadfastly and assiduously protected and defended it?

A thing is either True, or it is not.

A man’s word is either trustworthy, or it is not.

The Holy Bible government officials place their hands upon during their swearing-in either means something important to us as a people, or it does not.
