TREASON  

 Author: Michael LeMieuxDate: October 31, 2010http://www.newswithviews.com/LeMieux/michael133.htm 

It seems to me that the words “traitor” and “treason” are being used more and more when talking about modern politicians. But is that an accurate portrayal of what is goingon?

 Anyone who has been following the antics of our central government knows that theConstitution is more a quaint historical document than a restraint on governmentaction. We have politicians openly admitting that the legislature is intentionally ignoringthe Constitution when drafting bills. Branches of government relinquish constitutionally mandated powers to other branches of government, and even to semi-privateorganizations, such as the Federal Reserve.  Are the actions of our politicians treasonous? The quick answer is Yes and No. The reason I say yes and no is that under our currentsystem of law, treason has a very specific and limited definition. However, the broadergeneric definition of treason would, in fact, encompass the actions of our politicians. Let us first take a look at a few definitions and see if we can determine where we stand: Blacks Law Dictionary (Seventh Edition) defines treason as

“The offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which one owes allegiance, either by making war against the state or by materially supporting its enemies. – Also termed high treason…” 

Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856, defines treason as:

“This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance. 4 Bl.Com. 75. 2. The constitution of the United States, art. 3, s. 3, definestreason against the United States to consist only in levying war (q.v.)

against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort.” The first of Bouvier’s definitions is what I believe most people use to define treason. When a servant of the people takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and they betray that oath by passing laws they know to be unconstitutional, they believe that servant hascommitted treason. The first definition is based upon British Law, and our federal lawsare based upon the Constitution.

 Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution states:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying Waragainst them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid andComfort.” 

Let’s dissect this statement. What does it mean by “levying War?” According to Bouvier’sLaw Dictionary it means:

“The assembling of a body of men for the purpose of effecting by force atreasonable object; and all who perform any part however minute, orhowever remote from the scene of action, and who are leagued in thegeneral conspiracy, are considered as engaged in levying war, within themeaning of the constitution.” 

 At first glance one might understand this to mean gathering troops to change agovernment by force. But it also speaks of those who would be “leagued in the generalconspiracy” who are also engaged in levying war.

In past wars men and women have been found guilty of treason by conspiring with theenemy by providing intelligence, safe houses, and other “aid and comfort.” If a memberof our own government was to actively work to install the ideology of an enemy, wouldthat be considered Treason? How about the lesser charge of “adhering to their Enemies?” Again in Bouvier’s it states:

“ADHERING. Cleaving to, or joining; as, adhering to the enemies of theUnited States… If war be actually levied, that is, a body of men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable enterprise, allthose who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from thescene of action, and who are leagued in the general conspiracy are to beconsidered as traitors.” 

Bouvier’s Law Dictionary also states that

“War is not only an act, but a state or condition, for nations are said to beat war not only when their armies are engaged, so as to be in the very act of contention, but also when, they have any matter of controversy or disputesubsisting between them which they are determined to decide by the use of 

force, and have declared publicly, or by their acts, their determination soto decide it.” 

 What about our war against terrorism? We say we are at war but there has been nodeclaration of such; and yet, because we are in the condition of war, anyone siding withthe enemy is considered treasonous.

In a lecture on the origins of the cold war[1] we find the following statement:

“The TRUMAN DOCTRINE of March 12, 1947 announced aid to Greeceand Turkey in the stated context of a general war against communism. Aid in the amount of $400 million was approved by the House andSenate by a margin of three to one. In many w ays, the Truman Doctrinemarked the formal declaration of the cold war between the United States

and the Soviet Union -- it also solidified the United States' positionregarding containment.” The Cold War was not only a war on Communist aggression, it was a war of politicalideology, and it was a war between America’s ideal of individual liberty and the dogmaof a communist controlled society. Communism has proven to be antithetical to liberty; it is government control over allaspects of life. Socialism is to Communism what marijuana is to heroin. As VladimirLenin stated: “The goal of socialism is communism.” America has always been in anideological war with those that would foist communism upon us. As stated in theTruman Doctrine, we are in “a general war against communism.”  As this is an ideological war, it will never change. It cannot change as they arediametrically opposed to one another. Can we co-exist on the same planet? Yes, as longas either side does not become aggressive toward others.

But what of those who would come from within our own borders and strive to conquerus from within. What if those “elected” to represent the people are actually wolves insheep’s clothing with a design to fundamentally transform our nation into that of ourenemy?

 A lot can be learned by comparing the words of past enemy leaders with our own leadersof today. Let’s look a few quotes of Vladimir Lenin :[2] 

“Without a revolutionary theory, there cannot be a revolutionary movement.”“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstonesof taxation and inflation.”“The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.”“It is true that liberty is precious - so precious that it must be rationed”“Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed

to no one governing.”“No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses” 

 And how about Karl Marx :[3] “Democracy is the road to socialism.”“In a higher phase of communist society... inscribe on its banners: fromeach according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

“The English have all the material requisites for the revolution. What they lack is the spirit of generalization and revolutionary ardour.”“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.”“We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, butrather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man

during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the mosttime's carcass.” Now let’s take a look at a few quotes from President Obama :[4] 

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some othertime. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that weseek. ““I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.”“In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.”“It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion orantipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment oranti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”“People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is ourtime.”“This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open marketshave created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been acornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be ableto sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.”“We have now just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principlethat everybody should have some basic security when it comes to theirhealthcare.”

“Change has come to America.”“We are five days away from fundamentally changing the United States of  America.”“Instead of having a set of policies that are equipping people for theglobalization of the economy, we have policies that are accelerating themost destructive trends of the global economy.”"I'm in this race not just to hold an office, but to gather with you totransform a nation.""My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. Ihope you'll join with me as we try to change it.""To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The

more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos.The Marxist professors and structural feminists.""We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money." 

The ideals of this administration, evidenced by their rhetoric and willingness to abandonthe Constitution, to defy their oaths, to wage war against the ideology of liberty thisnation was founded on, in my opinion, is treasonous. The number of self-avowed

socialists and Communists in positions of leadership, selected by the President, canleave no doubt; the enemy is within the gate. It is not just this president, but every public official who passes or enforces law withoutregard for the Constitution. It is every legislator that refuses to honor their oath to

support and defend the Constitution by willingly passing laws known to beunconstitutional, who does not read the legislation presented, or who tell us we will only know what is in the bill once it has been passed.

 We have a government filled with vile, blood-sucking vampires who feed off the life blood of honest working Americans. We are told that those who do not follow them or believe as they do, are the enemy. We are told that those who risk their lives for thiscountry and who return home must be watched as potential extremists or possibleterrorists. We are told by those within the federal government that homegrownextremists are those who demand the government abide by the Constitution. We aretold that those who believe in freedom, self defense, state sovereignty, and individualfreedom, or who support political candidates that espouse freedom are somehow dangerous and must be watched. In fact, we are led today by a political insurgency that has more in common with KarlMarx and Vladimir Lenin than it does with Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. Welive in a time when individual liberty is replaced with forced charity by stealing from one who has earned it to give to someone who has not. My fellow Americans, do not be misled, we are at war. We are engaged in a war for the very survival of our great nation against those that would tear asunder the very fabric of our nation. We are at war with those that would fundamentally change this great nationfrom liberty and freedom to one of communist serfdom in a global war of dominance.  As for me, I side with truth; I side with Honor; I side with the modern patriot and those who truly honor their oath to protect and defend this nation from all enemies, foreignand domestic. I side with freedom. Footnotes: 1,  Lectures on twentieth century Europe 2,   Vladimir Lenin Quotes 3, Karl Marx Quotes 4, Barack Obama Quotes and The Obama File

intelligence team member. He served tours to Kuwait and Afghanistan where hereceived the Purple Heart for injuries received in combat.

Mr. LeMieux left military duty at the end of 2005 after being medically discharged with over 19 years of combined military experience. He currently works as an

intelligence contractor to the US government.

Michael is a strict constitutionalist who believes in interpreting the constitution by theoriginal intent of the founding fathers. His research has led him to the conclusion thatthe republic founded by the Constitution is no longer honored by our government. Thatthose who rule America today are doing so with the interest of the federal governmentin mind and not the Citizens. Michael believes that all three branches of governmenthave strayed far from the checks and balances built into the Constitution and they have failed the American people. A clear example is the Second Amendment, which theSupreme Court and the founders have a ll said was an individual right and could not be"infringed" upon, now has more than 20,000 state and federal laws regulating every aspect of the individuals right, a definite infringement. He has traveled around the world living in 14 States of the Union including Haw aii, and visited (for variouslengths of time) in Spain, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea, Scotland, Pakistan, Mauritius,Somalia, Diego Garcia, Australia, Philippines, England, Italy, Germany, and PuertoRico.

Michael now lives in Nebraska with his wife, two of his three children, Mother-in-Law and grandchild. His hobbies include shooting, wood-working, writing, amateurinventor and scuba diving when he can find the time. Contact Michael through his Website: www.constitutiondenied.com
