Everyone knows the meaning of the word "treason",
don't they? Well …. Maybe not.
Below are two definitions of the word "treason". The
first is directly from the Constitution of the United States of
America; the second is the "legal" definition of "treason".
"The Constitution
of the United States, Art. III, 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 attained."
Note that the Constitution refers to crimes of
treason committed against the "United States". Let us recognize that
the United States is comprised of fifty defined geographic areas called
States, and the people, all of the people, who occupy them. Thus, it
should be obvious that "treason" is an offense against the interests of
the people and their States.
Should any person or persons holding position(s) in government (the
government) commit a treasonous act or acts stipulated in the above
quoted Article of the Constitution, they are thereby guilty of treason,
as I read it. Any government or branch thereof, controlled by such
traitors might, and in my opinion should be, considered corrupt and
unconstitutional so long as it is so controlled, and treasonous.

of America can be found here on my website:

With these facts and conclusions in mind, read the
"legal" definition of "treason".
"'Legal'
definition of Treason
Treason. A breach
of allegiance to one's government, usually committed through levying
war against such government or by giving aid or comfort to the enemy.
The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of
the state to which the offender owes allegiance; or of betraying the
state into the hands of a foreign power. Treason consists of two
elements: adherence to the enemy, and rendering him aid and comfort.
Cramer v. U. S., U.S.N.Y., 325 U.S. l, 65 S.Ct. 918, 9327 89 L.Ed.
1441. See 18 U.S.C.A. § 2381. A person can be convicted of treason
only on the testimony of two witnesses, or confession in open court.
Art. III, Sec. 3, U.S. Constitution."

The "legal" definition seems to ignore basic
Constitutional allegiance to the people and their states, and
re-defines "treason" as the stipulated crimes a breach of allegiance to
"one's Government".
This implies a patriotic allegiance to "the
government", assumes it to be "one's" government, and ignores any
conflict to one's allegiance to the people and their states. In so far
as the Government might be a legitimate one, reflecting the will of the
people and protecting them, this "legal" definition might be considered
constitutional. However, should the government be illegitimate and/or
those holding positions within it act against the best interests of the
people and their states by committing acts of treason as defined in the
Constitution, that Government and those who occupy positions of power
therein, are guilty of treason as stipulated by the Constitution
itself. (Giving aid and comfort to enemies of the United States.")
The following passages from The Constitution should
be considered very significant as to the thoughts of those who wrote
The Constitution and how it must be applied.
The Constitution
of the United States, Art. I, Section 6 The Senators and
Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be
ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States.
They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the
peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session
of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the
same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be
questioned in any other place.
And
The Constitution
of the United States, Art. II, Section 4 The President,
Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be
removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason,
bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
These passages clearly specify that elected and
civil office holders are not exempt from arrest and prosecution for
treason. If this is not or cannot be accomplished when warranted, then
there is no true constitutional "law", and I suggest that all who
embrace and enforce unconstitutional "laws" are themselves criminals
and traitors.
I believe that all individuals holding public office
and appointed positions, in all branches of the national, state and
local governments who are aware that individuals holding high offices
in the national and state governments have committed treason against
the people, and who have not acted to protect the people, as they swore
under oath to do, are at best accomplices to traitors, as defined by
The Constitution. (ie. Failing to act to protect the Constitution and
the people.)
Thus, the legal definition of "treason" as quoted
above is, and in my opinion does contradict the spirit if not the
letter of the constitution. When it can be proven that those
controlling the Government are guilty of numerous acts of treason
against the people, as stipulated in The Constitution, is there really
any "legal" remedy? How can any high government official be impeached,
removed from office, and tried for their crime(s) when most if not all
of congress are also traitors? Uh oh!
It is also of great importance to be aware of the
fact that individuals and groups who recognize and do their best to
expose traitors within the Government might well be considered traitors
themselves under the "legal" definition of the term. This even though
they would not be in violation of the Constitutional definition of
"treason", and are in fact true patriots. In other words, anyone who
refuses to obey a traitor must logically, if not "legally", be a
patriot.
Unfortunately we live in a world where too many
traitors are called patriots, too many patriots are called traitors,
and far too few people can tell the difference.
Please forward
this to as many people as possible.
Truth is only powerful when it is widely known.
