Worst Cases of Treason and Subversion in U.S. History
George Bush became president by subverting the Constitution. Many of the actions of his administration are treasonous. For example, when he exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame, he committed the most insidious form of treason, in the words of his father George Herbert Walker Bush. Informants are the best and most crucial sources of intelligence. When the informant’s contact is exposed, the informant’s life and wellbeing are jeopardized. The potential informant is less likely to come forward. The entire intelligence structure and security of the nation suffers.
The bloodless coup of 2000 was a greater act of treason and subversion than the Civil War was. The Civil War was an attempt by one part of the nation to break away. The Bush revolution shredded the Constitution, defiled the unique American experience and disgraced the nation before a civilized world.
George Bush claims he is the decider. The Constitution says Congress is the decider or legislator. The president is the “executor” charged with carrying out or implementing Congress’s decisions and the statutes of the Constitution. The Constitution lists the duties of the Legislature first in Article I. The Executive duties and restrictions are listed in Article II. Bush either has no understanding of the Constitution or believes it is null and void.
The Founding Fathers anticipated the rise of people like George Bush, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon to the presidency, so they created two other branches of government to rein in the excesses of potential tyrants. The other two branches of government have proven to be just as susceptible to corruption as is the presidency. Complete corruption of government has occurred far more often than the Founding Fathers anticipated. They did suspect it could happen. Many of them warned that their new idea of the supremacy of ideas, principles and values over kings, nobilities and theocrats was a “bold experiment.”
The Founding Fathers’ worst expectations turned out to be true. In the 20th Century alone, the entire system failed numerous times. Besides the Bush, Reagan and Nixon Administrations, there was McCarthyism and the Palmer Raids to name a few.
The U.S. system of government proved to be inherently corrupt. George Bush merely lifted the veneer and exposed the internal rot and decay. Bush and those around him have low estimates of the mental, moral and maturity level of the average American and believed it was safe to reveal the true political system. They proved to be right. Deep down, most Americans do not subscribe to the new idea that principles and values should be superior to authoritarian rulers. Most Americans are morally bankrupt. Most are incapable of concluding on their own that killing 1,000,000 people as happened in Iraq is evil and criminal. They can’t even deduce independently that unjustified mass murder of others is wrong. Most have minds dominated by the reptilian brain stem. No more than 15% of Americans have minds dominated by the cognitive brain sector, that sector capable of moral, human behavior. Most people have the potential for a human dominated mind, but the animal mind has by far the longest history on the evolutionary ladder and is instinctively dominant.
The Democratic Party holds the claim on the cognitive mind. How did they perform in this latest crisis? Abominably. Their response to the worst political crime in U.S. history was to declare it excusable. They want to ignore it just as they did the crimes of treason, subversion, drug-running and fiscal criminality by the Reagan Administration. They have reached the same conclusion about the intellectual and maturity level of the average American. The neo-conservatives, the far right wing of the Republican Party, have an analogy for the intellectual level of Americans. They like to say: you wouldn’t allow a three-year old to cross an intersection by himself. Most Americans appear to be content with their role as a three-year-old. The problem is that they are lethal to the rest of the world and unfit to be outside U.S. fences and cages. The Democrats’ disgraceful, contemptible, negligent behavior has demonstrated that they are more in agreement with the Republicans than with the Founding Fathers.
Very few can comprehend the magnitude of 1,000,000 murders. Few of those who can are in Congress. They can be counted on one hand. The Founding Fathers’ dream turned into an abysmal, disgraceful tragedy. As in the movie “Shot in the Dark” it turns out that everyone is guilty.
