Who Has Been Treasonous?

A confused judge recently referred to the entrapped Trump associate Mike Flynn as acting “treasonously,” and over the past year several media ignoramuses have referred to Donald Trump as “treasonous,” despite no evidence of “Russia collusions,” etc. Here is an article that I wrote 8 years ago, on how the government bureaucrats of the national security state in Washington commit treason against the people. (I had to change several links because it’s so long ago, and/or find the Wayback Machine page for a link.)

The Treasonous U.S. Government

December 28, 2010

(Link to article at Strike the Root)

The ongoing WikiLeaks affair has been an exposé of who really understands the principles that define America, and who is truly confused. The “classified” leakers and their publishers (who include the New York Times and the Guardian) are merely attempting to expose the State and its crimes as well as its outright ridiculousness and irrationality. The ones who defend the State’s intrusions abroad, the killing of innocents, the occupations of foreign lands, the removal of due process through renditions, indefinite detentions and assassinations without cause or even suspicion, are the ones who want to suppress any exposing of those State crimes.

It is as though the defenders of the U.S. government’s secrecy and cover-ups think they are in countries like Iran, in which the act of revealing the crimes of the State is an act of blasphemy and deserving of one’s being stoned to death. These obedient defenders of the State are truly against moral values and the rule of law, yet they are the ones who refer to alleged leaker Bradley Manning as having committed “treason” against America.

The hopelessly flawed U.S. Constitution addresses treason:

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.

Worse, the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines treason as:

1: the betrayal of a trust

2: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family.

Unfortunately, the mainstream view of “treason” has been one of “defiance of State authority,” or disobedience. The WikiLeaker’s actions have not gone against America, but they apparently have been challenging to State authority, and that’s a no-no in authoritarian societies. It is in such societies that the State has access into every detail of every individual’s private life, as the Washington Post recently uncovered, but the citizens are not allowed to know what their government is up to. The great 19th Century individualist Lysander Spooner clarified some of these issues in his publication, No Treason – The Constitution of No Authority.

In my view, acts of treason do not necessarily consist of “levying war” against one’s country or countrymen – if that were the case, then I suppose the American Revolutionaries were acting treasonously against Britain – but acts of treason can be those that go against the interests of one’s countrymen.

So to me, just about every act of the U.S. government since its beginning has gone against America’s interests, that is, if one believes that America’s interests are those of preserving liberty, and that the government’s purpose is to protect life, liberty and property. For instance, after the Southern States peacefully seceded from the American “union” in 1861, President Abe Lincoln “levied war” against them, that included his killing thousands of innocent civilians and burning entire cities to the ground. Lincoln’s need for greater centralized State control and dominance, and obsession with compelling millions into an association to which they did not want to belong, was worth his depraved acts of aggression, violence and murder. Lincoln acted treasonously, against his fellow Americans and the basic values of the America that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and their fellow Revolutionaries and secessionists-from-Britain believed in, and against the interests of the Southern secessionists who believed in freedom and prosperity.

The endless list of examples of treason by the U.S. government against Americans includes President Wilson’s unnecessarily entering the U.S. into World War I. When you take your country into other countries’ wars, you are at that point making your population vulnerable to hostilities, in addition to squandering away public funds that are not intended to be used for the benefit of other countries. Other examples include FDR’s New Deal of fascist/socialist property confiscation, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan started by the two Bush presidents, President Obama’s new medical takeover, and so on. Those intrusions and acts of aggression by agents of the U.S. government against Americans and foreigners have all gone against the interests of Americans and against our freedom and prosperity. They are treasonous acts. They are all crimes committed by the U.S. government against the lives, liberty and property of many millions of Americans for many decades, and continuing.

The State’s Treasonous Foreign Policy

Regarding U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning’s alleged leaking and months of solitary confinement, former Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski writes about the hysteria of the federal State and its flunkies and defenders, and compares the alleged whistleblower soldier with actual convicted spies against America:

Charged but not convicted of any crime, American PFC Brad Manning is being held largely incommunicado at Quantico, without bedding or permission to exercise in his cell. He is purposely deprived of human contact. His current treatment – based on unproven charges – is far harsher than the treatment and sentences of four famous and convicted US federal-level spies.

Former FBI agent Robert Hanssen was arrested in early 2001, and charged with selling secrets to the Soviets during the preceding two decades. Upon arrest, Hanssen confessed and was able to hire as an attorney the extremely competent Plato Cacheris, who negotiated a plea bargain. After an entire career spent profiting from the sale of classified information to the Soviets and later the Russian Federation, he is held at Supermax in isolation. Well, not exactly like Brad Manning – Hanssen has bedding, books, and exercise.

The case of career CIA employee and horrific spy/profiteer, Aldrich Ames, is also instructive. After his arrest and lawyer-facilitated plea bargain, Ames was not held forever in isolation at a Supermax-style facility. Instead, he resides at Allenwood Federal Prison with the general population, and is able to receive visitors and to correspond with people outside the prison on issues of current interest.

Two other famous convicted federal-level spies of the same era include Army Warrant Officer James Hall and Army Colonel George Trofimoff. These military officers who sold secrets were not tortured, nor were they deprived of their constitutional rights to a fair defense. Even though they are convicted military spies, they are serving less intensive punishments than either Ames or Hanssen, and were treated far better than PFC Manning.

Manning is not accused of selling secrets, or profiting from their release. Washington has made charges; it suspects Manning is partly responsible for publicly embarrassing the federal security apparatus. But as the Pentagon and the State Department both admit, even if Manning was the source of some government documents, the revelations did not seriously impact government operations.

Some critics of the WikiLeaks release have referred to Manning’s alleged actions as “treasonous,” and compromising American security. But in actuality, the leaked documents have done nothing but expose the crimes of the State, which is what the Press used to do before that institution apparently merged itself into the State apparatus. The real “treason” that is happening is that of the agents of the State acting against Americans’ liberty and prosperity.

While the recent document leaker has not compromised America’s security in any way whatsoever, we can take a closer look at how the U.S. government’s agents just over the past 20 years have been the real culprits in compromising the security of Americans. That includes President George H.W. Bush’s taking the U.S. into war against Iraq in 1990-91, the U.S. government’s and United Nations’ sanctions against Iraq throughout the 1990s and how those hostilities against Iraqis have backfired against the U.S., and George W. Bush’s “War on Terror” campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq and against Americans’ civil liberties.

In July 1990, then-Bush Administration U.S. ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie met with then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and was said to have given the Bush Administration’s “green light” for Hussein to invade Kuwait, although, while some analysts disagree on whether that was intended by the Administration, other analysts believe that that was how Hussein interpreted the message. On August 2, 1990, Hussein began his invasion of Kuwait, followed in the next months by the U.S. military setting up their war on Iraq to begin January 15, 1991.

The Bush Administration had a well-prepared PR campaign to sell the Persian Gulf War, in which Bush took the U.S. military into war overseas against a country that was of no threat to the U.S.

Would a politician like the elder Bush tell a foreign leader that he, Bush, would look the other way if Hussein invaded Kuwait, only to then go and invade Iraq as though that was Bush’s intention in the first place? Well, that seems to be the way politicians, statists, internationalists, and government expansionists go about business, given the power they have as monopolists in territorial protection. And also, Bush probably felt safe politically and legally, given how so many Reagan Administration officials had gotten away with their schemes of selling arms to Iran to fund the Nicaraguan Contras in what became known as the Iran-Contra affair of the 1980s.

In author James Bovard’s analysis of the U.S. military’s bombing campaign on Iraq in 1991 and subsequent sanctions on Iraq, Bovard cites the Washington Post which quoted Pentagon officials that the bombing campaign targeted civilian infrastructure, particularly electrical facilities and water and sewage treatment facilities, as well as military targets. This was an intentional strategy of the U.S. military as a means of “disabling Iraqi society at large,” that supposedly would compel the Iraqi people to get rid of their leader Saddam Hussein.

As Bovard pointed out,

A Harvard School of Public Health team visited Iraq in the months after the war and found epidemic levels of typhoid and cholera as well as pervasive acute malnutrition. The Post noted,

In an estimate not substantively disputed by the Pentagon, the [Harvard] team projected that ‘at least 170,000 children under five years of age will die in the coming year from the delayed effects’ of the bombing.

The U.S. military understood the havoc the 1991 bombing unleashed. A 1995 article entitled ‘The Enemy as a System’ by John Warden, published in the Air Force’s Airpower Journal, discussed the benefits of bombing ‘dual-use targets’ and noted,

A key example of such dual-use targeting was the destruction of Iraqi electrical power facilities in Desert Storm…. [Destruction] of these facilities shut down water purification and sewage treatment plants. As a result, epidemics of gastroenteritis, cholera, and typhoid broke out, leading to perhaps as many as 100,000 civilian deaths and a doubling of the infant mortality rate.

The article concluded that the U.S. Air Force has a ‘vested interest in attacking dual-use targets’ that undermine ‘civilian morale.’

The bombing campaign and a decade of sanctions throughout the 1990s led to widespread disease and skyrocketing cancer and child mortality rates, which by 1999 were said to lead to the deaths of approximately 500,000 Iraqis.

The U.S. government’s invasion and bombing of Iraq in 1991 and sanctions, disease and death, as well as the U.S. government’s expansionism of military bases and other government apparatus on Muslim lands such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, and other intrusions and interventions are what have inflamed anti-Americanism throughout the Middle East and Asia. These actions of the U.S. government have been provocations against the inhabitants of those foreign lands, the effects of which have consisted of retaliations and attempted retaliations against Americans. In other words, we Americans have been made increasingly vulnerable to the aggressions of foreigners because of the aggressions that our government officials have been committing against people in foreign lands.

But rather than ending the murderous sanctions, occupations and other U.S. government intrusions and interventions on foreign lands, the response of the robotic, comatose U.S. government officials to the September 11, 2001 attacks was to increase the aggression, intrusions and violence overseas even more, as well as impose policies of rendition and indefinite detention and assassination of people without due process, without just cause or even actual suspicion – the George W. Bush Administration knowingly apprehended suspects at random and knowingly kept innocent people detained for years in Gitmo – as well as start a campaign against Americans and their what-used-to-be-known-as “inalienable rights” and “civil liberties.” In other words, every action and policy of the U.S. government, especially since 1990, has made Americans less safe and more vulnerable. We are less safe because of the provocations by our government of more terrorism against us, and we are less safe because of the abuses of our own government against us and our liberty. This is what I mean by treasonous actions of the U.S. government.

And how has the U.S. government been treating Bradley Manning for months, someone who has not been tried or convicted of anything, and whose alleged actions have harmed no one, but who allegedly dared to expose the agents of the State for what they are? Salon.com’s Glenn Greenwald has been doing an exceptional job writing about Manning’s treatment.

According to Greenwald, Manning’s attorney David Coombs, and MIT researcher David House, Manning has been held in 23-hour-per-day solitary confinement for over five months, with one hour per day allowed for “exercise,” which consists of walking in circles in a small area, is made to respond to guards’ checking him every five minutes, is made to endure constant sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation, has very little contact with others and is deprived of knowledge of events in the outside world. In a more recent update, Greenwald noted,

…And in the wake of my report, there have been several reports of the damage to Manning that is now apparent, including in The Guardian (“Bradley Manning’s health deteriorating in jail, supporters say”), The Independent (Manning ”in weak health and wracked with anxiety”), The Daily Beast (“The conditions under which Bradley Manning is being held would traumatize anyone”), and from his lawyer (“who says the extended isolation — now more than seven months of solitary confinement — is weighing on his client’s psyche . . . . His treatment is harsh, punitive and taking its toll, says Coombs”)…

What the agents of the U.S. government are doing psychologically and physically to this one individual is how criminals, barbarians, degenerates and sickos treat other human beings. But the reason he is being held in solitary confinement and why he is being abused in such a sick way is that our government officials are responding not to any real threat to Americans’ security, but to an uncovering of U.S. government officials’ real character.

The American prisons aren’t even treating their convicted rapists, child molesters and murderers with that kind of cruelty and physical deprivation, which is particularly loathsome given that Manning has done nothing wrong and has harmed no one. However, this is in line with the U.S. military intentionally bombing water and sewage treatment facilities with the purpose of causing disease and deaths amongst the Iraqi civilian population in 1991, a scheme that comes from sick-minded barbarians. But in their emotional, gut reactions to the news about leaks of State “secrets,” the authoritarians who love and worship the State have made the uncovering of the true nature of today’s agents of the State a matter of blasphemy worthy of the sinner’s being stoned to death in a public courtyard. “We are all Iranians now,” the Palins and the Gingriches might as well declare.

But is merely uncovering the State’s true nature really a crime? Shouldn’t we instead penalize the agents of the State who start wars unnecessarily and thus make their own population more vulnerable to retaliation, as the warmongers did with the war against Iraq of 1991, and all the repercussions and blowback we have been suffering because of it? (And oh, what a coincidence the timing of those actions coincided with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War and a sudden lack of an enemy to justify the always expanding military welfare state, but that’s a different discussion for a different essay.) The devastation and physical destruction, the human toll and financial cost of the entirely political decision to invade Iraq in 1990 have treasonously damaged America. (And oh, what another coincidence that the 1990 warmonger’s son also started an unnecessary war against Iraq in 2003, and for solely political reasons, that would cause even further blowback against us!) These actions have damaged America in the most criminal sense, and these actions against America are treasonous.

To protect us from further damage to our liberty, security and property, we need more Bradley Mannings, and more WikiLeaks, and much less centralized power in Washington, given that just about every action of the U.S. government has been treasonous, against America and our founding principles, and is constant, daily proof that the Anti-Federalists were right.

The Dow Down Again – No, Donald, It’s Not the Fed, It’s YOU!

The Dow sank again today in a shortened day of trading, down more than 650 points. Donald Trump blames the Fed. Trump tweeted, “”The only problem our economy has is the Fed. They don’t have a feel for the Market…” Like you do, Donald.

No, one big problem now has been Trump’s trade idiocy. This “trade war” crapola. Someone please tell Trump that it doesn’t matter if there’s a “trade deficit.” It’s not the same thing as a budget deficit! He wants to spend money — other people’s money — like a drunken sailor, and “who cares if there’s a $1 trillion budget deficit,” he might as well say! But THAT’s the deficit that matters, and that influences the economy, not this “trade deficit” thing.

Donald Trump needs to cut it out with this trade fascism that he is shoving down the people’s throats. Leave people alone, and let them have the freedom to buy whatever they want, or sell whatever they want, and let producers have the freedom to buy whatever capital goods they want or need, and leave them alone! Who cares if they’re buying stuff from China or India or Iran or Ireland. Someone please tell Trump to stop being such a dictator, and such a control freak!

And stop stealing from people, which is what Trump’s damn tariffs are, stealing!

A Christmas Message

Becky Akers has this very nice Merry Christmas message, including a link to George F. Smith’s video of the Christmas Truce of 1914 around the beginning of World War I on or near Christmas to initiate peace. After all, was Jesus Christ not the “Prince of Peace”? She also quotes from an article with a Christmastime pro-life message.

Becky writes: “Mr. Smith’s video gently prompts viewers to question the identity of the soldiers’ actual enemies (hint: it’s not the poor slobs firing away at them). The film is a riveting introduction to the philosophy of freedom, and since it’s especially apropos now, you might want to forward it with your greetings to friends and family.”

George Smith points out that after all the death and destruction that governments have caused, the bureaucrats and politicians themselves survive and have enriched themselves off the wars. “Never forget the spirit of ’14.” I think I’ll post the video below.

More “Defense” Revolving Door

After “defense” (sic) secretary James Mattis handed in his resignation to Donald Trump that included Mattis’s criticism of Trump’s wanting to take U.S. troops out of Syria and Afghanistan, it seems that Trump is telling Mattis to leave on December 31st, rather than the end of February as Mattis had planned.

Well, good for Trump. (It is doubtful, though, that Trump will fire the other warmongers including Mile Pompeo and John Bolton and others there who believe that the U.S. military must be all over the world being put in harm’s way for no good reason.)

But the guy that Trump is temporarily replacing Mattis with, deputy “defense” (sic) secretary Patrick Shanahan, is from the “military industrial complex,” having been with Boeing for 30 years. According to Wikipedia, Shanahan was “vice president and general manager for Boeing Rotorcraft Systems … responsible for all U.S. Army Aviation programs,” and “vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems … overseeing the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, Airborne Laser and Advanced Tactical Laser programs…”

“Revolving door” much?

(He might as well work for the Clinton Foundation…)

Walter Block on Immigration

Walter Block, sometimes known as “Mr. Libertarian,” has a post on the LewRockwell.com blog, giving some hypotheticals on how conservatives might take an even more radical view on immigration. Dr. Block lists some suggestions that the more collectivist minded of conservatives might advocate, such as deporting all Pakistanis if a Pakistani individual bombs and kills innocents, or deporting all Libyans if a Libyan person kills, etc. On dealing with immigrants, he states that “there is no way to protect the recipient country that is fully compatible with libertarianism.”

He concludes with links to articles and papers (I have removed some of them whose links were not working, and found working links for others whose links were not working):

Mattis Panics While Trump Removes Troops from Syria. Yes, End the Occupations, Invasions, Bombings, and Blowback

Donald Trump has announced that U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Syria. And apparently he’s starting to talk about getting out of Afghanistan, too. (Why does the U.S. have troops in Syria? And Afghanistan?)

And secretary of “defense” (sic) Jim Mattis has announced that he is resigning in protest, because he believes that “the U.S. remains the indispensable nation in the free world” and that “our strength as a nation is inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships” (i.e. government collusions).

And that is why our government in Washington must send troops to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and all over the world, to act as occupiers and invaders in countries that are not U.S. territories and where they have no moral right or constitutional authority to be.

These internationalists and globalists like Mattis believe that, for some reason, the U.S is some divinely chosen country in which the government is obligated to protect not just the people who live in the U.S. but those elsewhere in the world. (By invading their countries, bombing, murdering millions of innocent civilians, etc., and acting surprised when a 9/11 occurs.)

Now, I know that Mattis will not be charged with war crimes, manslaughter or murder, but it should be known that the war crimes and murders that he oversaw as the “defense” secretary has numbered in the thousands of innocent civilians, in Syria alone.

According to NPR,

The U.S.-led coalition against ISIS has so far verified 104 unintended civilian casualties caused by its attacks in Raqqa and is investigating more cases, coalition spokesman Army Col. Sean Ryan tells NPR.

…

Since January, the rescue team has uncovered more than 2,600 bodies. Through their identification process, they say they have found that most of the bodies were civilians killed in coalition airstrikes during the battle for Raqqa between June and October 2017.

…

n May 2017, Defense Secretary James Mattis told CBS News the U.S. was accelerating and intensifying the campaign against ISIS, and added, “We have already shifted from attrition tactics … to annihilation tactics.” [Yup. You sure have, Mr. Secretary.]

…

Data given to Airwars by the U.S. military’s central command show the coalition launched at least 21,000 munitions — airstrikes and artillery — in the city in little over four months.

The True Believers in American Exceptionalism really believe that U.S. troops should be in these other parts of the world, bombing and killing. The sheeple believe the propaganda and they seem to easily get bamboozled. American Exceptionalism has replaced the Golden Rule. Our government forces can occupy other countries’ territories, invade and bomb other countries and get away with killing thousands (or hundreds of thousands in the case of Iraq), but we can’t let other governments have their military bases here in the U.S. Can you imagine how we’d feel if foreign governments bombed U.S. cities out of some belief that doing so would protect them over there from terrorist invaders coming from the U.S.? The American sheeple believe in their rulers in Washington, they worship the U.S. military and will continue to rationalize the interventions, the “nation building,” the U.S. invasions and bombings of other countries, and the blowback.

All that is what Mattis is referring to when he references “our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships.” Such alliances, which George Washington and Thomas Jefferson warned us against (Thomas who? George…?), such partnerships have not proven for the good since World War II, but the bamboozled sheeple believe otherwise.

End the wars, invasions and occupations, the bombings and blowback, and close down ALL foreign U.S. military bases, bring ALL U.S. troops back to the U.S.

For those who are a bunch of chicken littles, like Mattis and millions who agree with his hysterical panic and fear, eventually all the U.S. government interventions and occupations will have to end at some point. So end all that forthwith.

A Recent Update to the Justina Pelletier Case

I had written quite a lot about Justina Pelletier since my initial 2014 post about her situation. That’s the teenager (now 20) who was the victim of “medical kidnapping,” in which the new hospital changed her diagnosis from mitochondrial disease to a psychological disorder, accusing her of merely having psychosomatic reactions despite the actual medical tests which verified her medical diagnosis. The hospital, Boston Children’s, removed her from the treatment she was getting and then placed her in a facility for troubled teens despite the fact that she was not “troubled,” and her physical condition deteriorated to the point of her having to be in a wheelchair. They had also brought in CPS and removed custody from her parents and transferred custody over to the State. Based on what I have learned throughout all that time, it appears that the hospital kidnapped Justina, most probably for the purpose of using her as a guinea pig for research against her will and without her or the parents’ consent. When the hospital does that to kids, the kids are considered a “ward of the State,” and therefore the Doctors Mengele can do what they want with them.

The Pelletier family initiated a lawsuit against the hospital and the specific “doctors” involved in the kidnapping, false imprisonment and torture.

Most recently, there is an article on The Daily Wire with an exclusive interview of Justina’s father, Lou Pelletier. Pelletier says he thinks the lawsuit will come to trial around January of 2020. (Does it have to take 6 or 7 years after the crimes were allegedly committed by “doctors” for a trial to take place?)

Check out the website MedicalKidnap.com, and you’ll see that these kinds of situations are going on all across the USSA. (They do it to elderly people too, folks.) Just wait until the government takes over your health and medical matters completely. With ObamaCare, “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” and so on. In the People’s Republic of USSA, “child welfare” means that children exist to serve the control-freakish desires of the apparatchiks of the State and its Soviet psychiatric wing.
