Everyone knows that what the US govt is doing is treasonous. And they know it, but refuse to stop. Do they think they'll get away with it? Not much longer, I say...
Maybe what they're waiting for is for us to finally take a stand and have them arrested and prosecuted. (Arrest is nothing without prosecution anyway.) Imo these are serious times and they'd deserve death for betraying us. Afterall, they don't hesitate taking our lives when it suits them; or advancing agendas....
Anyway, as a reminder, here are the definitions of sedition and treason with examples.
Maybe we should get the ball rolling by writing an email or a letter to all of our political "leaders" reminding them that they have taken an Oath to protect and serve US and they have violated it....
Definition of Sedition
Sedition is defined as "conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state."
Examples of Sedition
When the United States instituted the draft for the Vietnam War, many young Americans showed their defiance by burning their draft cards. This act alone was seditious in nature, but not illegal. Burning the American flag has been upheld by the Supreme Court to be a constitutional right of citizens, but is also considered seditious. While not all acts of sedition are legal, being seditious does not automatically make them illegal. In dictatorial governments, of course, any act of sedition might be illegal and result in severe punishment.
Definition of Treason
Treason is defined as "violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies."
Examples of Treason
Americans usually think of Benedict Arnold when treason is mentioned. Arnold sold military secrets to the British during the Revolutionary War. This is a clear act of treason. Spies who spy against their own country are committing treason. Treasonous acts are illegal in all countries and are often punishable by death.
Gee, there's alittle sedition in all of us... :becky:
