Our Treasonous Government

It almost seems oxymoronic to say that all branches of the United States Federal government are treasonous.  Treason generally applies to when a person seeks to overthrow a government or sovereign.  It almost never goes the other way.

Except in the case of the United States.  Here we have a foundation of laws established.  They are embodied within the United States Constitution.  That is where the rule of law comes from.  It is written down in a few pages so small that anyone could have a copy and read it in a few minutes.  It outlines how our federal government is to be structure, when it is to meet, and the limitations imposed upon it by defining the specific powers that each legislature has.

As such, anything that any branch of the federal government does outside of its defined powers is unconstitutional.  But what recourse do we have, as the normal average citizen, when dealing such injustices perpetrated upon us?  Is there an alternative besides voting?  Of that I am not entirely sure, but I am sure that just about every action perpetrated upon the rest of us by the federal government has become treasonous.

Treason, you see, does not only cover acts against a country’s government or sovereign by its own citizens.  It also covers breaches of contract.  The United States Constitution was a contract between the states and the central government as to how they would ruled over.  The common defense of the nation and the prevention of internal schisms was the primary concern of the Founding Fathers, who rightly believed that a set of disjointed states with little in common could survive with just a legislature.

The federal government has, in essence, broken its contract with the states and with the people.  Congress has passed tons of laws that have absolutely nothing to do with the defined powers of the Federal government.  Democrats in Congress now admit there is no constitutional founding for what they are doing, from health care to welfare, and they scoff at anyone who dares question them on this subject.  Republicans are little better, though many of them will use some form of Newspeak to justify their unconstitutional actions, like going to war without a formal declaration of war.

The executive branch issues out executive orders like they are their own form of Congress.  Executive orders were originally only suppose to apply to the employees of the federal government but now they apply to everyone.  This effectively means that most executive orders are unconstitutional.  Beyond that, the executive enacts military actions against other nations we are not at war with.  All of these things are unconstitutional and are treasonous acts.

The judicial branch doesn’t have the authority to be the final say on constitutional matters.  There is nothing in the constitution that says otherwise.  Therefore, pretty much all the rulings that are issues are not constitutional in the sense that they are not allowed to be “activist” judges.  What’s worse, many judges merely make up the rulings as they go, with no real constitutional backing.  Instead they have resorted to even pulling reasoning from foreign law, which is treason because foreign laws are not our laws.

So what can we do?  I say it is high time that we started to ignore the laws that are unconstitutional as much as we can.  While income taxation is constitutional, what they do with our money largely isn’t.  We can start by not using government services like food stamps, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and all those other welfare programs that are currently very popular.  We buy guns and ammunition to protect ourselves from criminals and thuggish police officers.  We can find ways to prepare ourselves for a terrorist attack.  Assembling a “Go” bag is probably a good start.

I guess I just outlined some of my resolutions for you this year.  My goal is to be entirely self-sufficient one day and not have to accept the aid of any fellow man.  Instead, I will look to help others who desire to get to where I hope to be.
