Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason!" -Sir John Harrington, circa 1600.
There has been a lot of murmuring lately about various acts being treason, so I thought it would be worthwhile to discuss what treason actually is, here in these presently united States. According to the Constitution, treason is covered under Article 3 section 3- "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. "
US Federal Code, Title 18, Chapter 115, Section 2381 defines treason as- "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
So, giving aid and comfort to the enemies of these presently united States is treason. Given that Al-Queda and the Muslim brotherhood are both calling for the destruction of these presently united States, it would appear that they are enemies of these united States. So what do we call people, especially those who have taken an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, who have "Provided aid and comfort" to Al-Queda? Traitors, no?
Why has Hillary Clinton, who conspired to deliver countries into the hands of our enemies and weapons into the hands of Al-Queda, not been indicted for treason? What prospers in Mordor-on-the Potomac?
Dare you, gentle reader, call this treason? What would Vince Foster say, if he were still around to speak?
With regard to all who serve the Light
