Word Count: 592 The Acceptability of Treason in Modern America
Implied as a major cause of emotional turmoil in Ellsberg's confession was
his loyalty oath. The oath requires one's loyalty to the U.S. Constitution AND
the President of the United States. If I see the President lying, is that
unconstitutional or do I cover his back? What really matters to me? An advancing
career? Those who hesitated answering the questions chose in favor of their
corporate bosses. Being the generous people we are, we excuse, enable and
encourage them. "When I am standing up with my president, I am honoring my oath
and I second his betrayal of a nation, or two, or three, or four, or. If you
fault my loyalty, you are a traitor to the nation."
When a betrayer is commonly known, why do so many applaud his deeds? Surely it
is because they know nothing of the betrayal, years after the fact. America
sleeps soundly, knowing someone who loves them is standing watch. Sweet, sweet
slumber. Wake us up when it's time to vote.
Treason has become a well seasoned tradition in the U.S. White House. Abraham
Lincoln decided a unity trucks & SUVs">government was more important than citizen or state's
rights. He believed fratricide was the best or only solution. If there was a
less violent and destructive option, poor Abe could not think of it. Possibly a
consequence of chronic depression. He was the first and only White House traitor
to be held fully accountable and properly executed - by a jury of one.
He ran for office to keep us out of war, made a shady deal with international
bankers and sold America in 1913, then plunged us into the war to end all wars.
He repented of his sell- out on his deathbed a few years later. He was the great
White House traitor number two, Woodrow Wilson.
About 30 years later, President Franklin Roosevelt wanted to go to war against
Germany, but the American people did not. He provoked the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor, had good intelligence, knew where their aircraft carriers were and
did nothing to prevent the attack. The next day America was on its way to two
wars. White House traitor number three.
Lyndon Johnson tried to provoke an attack by the North Vietnamese. Failing to do
so, he simply declared it happened. Since it would only be a little police
action, the Geneva Conventions were thrown out the window just as they had been
in the earlier Korean War. Does anyone see a trend?
Now we have the royal, righteous, King George, Prince Richard and Prince Donald.
White House traitors 5,6 and 7. Ethics, law and the Geneva Conventions are out
the window. They fly Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan in November 2001 on Air
Pakistan flights. No one in the chain of command says a word about this betrayal
and line up for assignments in the next war. The people who ought to know and
ought to care, re-elect them all. Now we are all complicit in high treason.
There are no patriots in public service or the military, no matter what their
illusions and delusions. We are the most powerful lawless gang on the face of
the earth. Want to make something of it? Bring it on!
