I’ve spent the weekend (and honestly the end of last week) under a rock with the manuscript for NML (the earc for volume 1 is out, btw. Post about this later.) so I’m not writing about Tulsi’s revelations on Friday.
For a recap here. And if you’re X-less, here.
I read them again this morning, and one thing jumps out at me: the use of the word “Treason”. As Charlie Martin has explained on X this has a very specific meaning in US constitutional terms: It means cooperating (Aiding and abetting) an enemy at open (shooting) war with the US.
Is Tulsi using the word loosely? Did none of her advisors point out the meaning? Or is she using it advisedly? What war were we involved in? Well…. Afghanistan. Eyes the ignominious retreat….
This stuff seems more solid than it’s been, though I’ll point out to Cynical Publius that at least for me the “Big Mike” thing was never a serious conspiracy. I don’t know if it was for anyone, but certainly not most people. (Unlike the French who are deadly serious about Mrs. Macron.) I think it was just our way of pushing back on Michelle Obama’s stunning beauty and style when in fact she was a “fairly decent looking” woman about my age. I’d like to think with her resources I’d look better. I’m probably wrong, but hey, I’d probably look about the same. Anyway selling her as the most stunning and well dressed woman ever was a serious attempt at gaslighting.
(Her sense of style reminds me of P. J. O’Rourke’s description of the sense of style of Russian oligarch wives: cover yourself in Elmer’s glue, then roll through the boutiques on Rodeo Drive.)
The “Big Mike” thing was our way of rattling the cage bars right back.
But the rest…. yeah.
Now, I’ve read Mike Walsh screaming that none of this matters unless there are indictments. I’m not sure he’s right.
Unless Tulsi really means that “treason” and has the receipts on that (in which case we’re in “hanged by the neck” territory, guys and … scary times ahead) it might be better, instead of arrests that while they aren’t will give the appearance of revenge, to expose Obama very thoroughly and make it so he can’t hold up his head in public anywhere.
For him, and those with him, that is literally a punishment worse than death.
But this post is to say: I’m taking the 48 hour BUSINESS DAY rule. Because none of this, right now, makes any sense in my head. I’ll wait till the contents under pressure settle.
However, I figured you guys needed some time to discuss it, and a place, and I’ll let you do that.
The one thing I’m already sure of is that all the people who idolized Obama need to go on their knees to Nixon’s grave and apologize.
Anyway, I’m going back to the day job (fiction, guys, fiction) and give you a chance to arggle bargle on this thread.
Apparently in Mongolia, people deal with eczema by washing with nettle tea or nettle soap.

I tend to agree, altough the definition in the Constitution is a bit slippery: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Depending on how any of those terms are defined, it could be applied to almost any act against the best interests of the nation, including attempting to circumvent the results of an election as Tulsi claims to have evidence for Obama and crew doing in 2016-17; a declared war is not specified.
I suspect that the Founders intended it to mean a declared shooting war, but unlike the debates regarding the 2nd Amendment I’ve never seen its meaning discussed in documents from the time.

Phillip Vigol was convicted for being a part of (not leading) the militia that committed the arson – and was the only one arrested where they could produce two witnesses.
By the way… The violence commenced when Neville (the aforementioned tax collector) fired the first shot – killing one Oliver Miller.

“… [treason] has a very specific meaning in US constitutional terms: It means cooperating (Aiding and abetting) an enemy at open (shooting) war with the US.”
No, it doesn’t. Why would someone say that? The Constitution is written in plain English; there is no need to invent text that does not exist.
The Constitution defines treason as follows (Article 3, Section 3): “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
So (a) it says “war” but does not limit it to “shooting war”. And (b) it also lists separately “adhering to their enemies”. For example, spying for Iran probably does not reach “levying war” but it most definitely is “adhering to their enemies, giving them aid…”

The Reader offers the full text of Article 3 Section 3 to observe that the Founders set and incredibly high bar for prosecuting 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.”
Requiring 2 witnesses’ testimony to an act of treason for a conviction makes it unlikely in a politically charged environment. Not to mention the Supreme Court would have to establish the the meaning of ‘levying War against them, or in adhering to their enemies…’ where there is no declared state of war. The Founders had seen the abuse of a treason charge by Britain and other governments in Europe and wanted to make sure it didn’t happen here.

Yes, we need to punish the wicked. We also need to not empower them to just turn around and screw unto others.
Forty-ish percent of the electorate think -you- are the bad guy in this discussion. What does that do to the future of the political process if you toss a prior pres in prison, or simply impeach?
-Why- did the founders make it so dang hard to do this? What were they -actually- guarding against?
If we go this route, we have to do the whole thing. Essentially, gut/geld the opposition, such that it is eliminated from the process. Then new factions form up, as our system depends upon a two major faction system.
Now, what does the former faction fanbase do in response? Submit? Shrug? Or explode? Assuming a spectrum of response, what percent of the former opposition has to go violent to wreck the system? To merely prevent it from functioning? What mechanism is needed to prevent that from occurring? Is that method anything recognizable as our Constitutional Republic?

They’re power-hungry, vicious, angry, and are rapidly losing what little sense of restraint they once had. What our side does must be carefully calculated to take that into account — either by turning the voting populace thoroughly against them (preferably by being massively better than them), such that whatever party eventually supplants Republicans as the governing majority, it no longer bears any resemblance to the Democratic Party as we have known it, or, even better, dismantling the gigantic federal apparatus that makes the government such a threat in the first place (it’d be the work of decades, but one can hope…).

We want to trash Obama so that he is anathema to the Democrat party (he is already anathema to most rational folks). Why you ask? Because right now there are three psudopods to the Democrat amoeba.

Of the three The Obama psuedopod has been the most effective of late (going on nearly 20 years) so it needs to be taken down a few notches.
Now there is a part of me that would love to see Obama perp walked. But as noted we don’t want to make him a martyr. Don’t give him any attention, nail all the underlings skins to the wall as best you can (Pour encourager les autres in the Intelligence community). Certainly leave his name in the documents and dump as much of this stuff into public as unredacted as feasible (ala the Pentagon Papers) so future historians can see what happened.
That alone will ruin Obama’s day because as a narcissist he longs for the adulation he thinks he deserves. In prison he would become a cause celebre, particularly in his own mind. He’d be the greatest martyr (perhaps greater in his own estimation) since Pontius Pilate freed Barabas instead of Jesus. Without that validation it tells him we think he was a puppet just like his VP became, so unimportant that we shan’t bother to even deal with him. That will gall him all to heck and gone. And he’ll have the misery of “Big Mike” hammering him for being such a gutless useless worm and failure. Sadly we can’t do to him like was done to Harry Mudd and give him 500 Android Big Mikes.

As for deportation he is a natural born American by the rules extant when he was born. We have rescinded naturalization for lying (e.g. several who were Nazi guards or participants in WWII war crimes by the German military). I don’t think we have ever removed citizenship from an American. If he wishes to renounce citizenship, fine even good, the door that way make sure it doesn’t hit him on his skinny little backside.
Take all the documents from this coup attempt and have them all bound up into several volumes, have them displayed at the Obama presidential library. Maybe have a special display section on them. Remember the Presidential Libraries are part of the Library of Congress. Nothing we can do to him will hurt him more than that.
The Democrat party right now is hanging on the edge between the two remaining parts (the Clinton pseudopod being essentially a dried up stick with Carville and the Clintons raging uselessly). Someone later in the comments equated the Democrat part to Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter universe. These pseudopods are like the Horcruxes that hold the soul of the party. If we can destroy them perhaps a new party will form to make a viable opposition party. The Clinton Horcrux is dying of old age. This is our chance to rid ourselves of the more devious of the two remaining Horcruxes. With a bit of luck the remaining Bernie Bro/open socialist Horcrux will self immolate (Deus Volent).

So I think Gabbard got to major, so it would be sorta incompetent of her to be unfamiliar with some of the nitpicky legalities that officers should consider, and which are of little relevance to Jimmy McOrdinary, who lives in Saint Louis and is strictly mentally occupied by his family, his church, and his HVAC bro to logistics manager career path.
The special legalities of the American officer or enlisted man are basically the constitution, the UCMJ, case law on rules of war, what your in service or former service fellows are likely to press charges on following a civil war, and the question of precisely if we are at war with whom.
For example, we are at war with North Korea, so it would be possible to give treasonous aid and comfort to North Korea.
“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.”
Now, obviously, Gabbard ought to have staff check with legal advice when it comes to implications of documents, and charges. This necessarily opens her to an information warfare attack by dishonest staffers, or disloyal legal advisors.
Anyway, multiple sets of documents. Might satisfy criteria for two independent witnesses.
Was it an overt act? I dunno, maybe, but not being an intel type myself, I kinda have a hard time understanding how well one could persuade a jury of such.
Did our enemies benefit? Yes, in purely my own reckoning, maybe not in the way that other people would seek to prove it. I’m not sure anyone took advantage of the opportunity, unless we count the ChiComs with the 2020 shenanigans.
Act of war against the United States? My brothers in Christ, I think communism is a practice of warfare against the American people, but I have serious questions when it comes to being able to persuade a jury of elemetns of a crime in specific examples.
The basic issue of this situation is that it has some parallels to some other claims that certain people have made about certain other persons.
Thus it maybe inherits some of the ambiguities that other situations also inherited.
Now, privately planned dishonesty is perhaps a bit different than directly making a claim in public that one believes to be true.
So there are several things that this release and statement might be. Two of them are a) political grandstanding b) attempting to get a precedent of immunity from the courts that might be more broadly applied.
Anyway, we have an internal stability issue that is an artifact of communists, and in particular of having OBama be a communist who won’t freaking let go of influence.
A question is whether Gabbard has sufficiently left her left mental background enough that she does not think that the Trump administration is literally facist. I mean, the standards of evidence one would plan to use would be different if one assumed that one was voluntarily participating in a fascist regime, than if one expected to participate in a mildly conservative American government.

Key words here – the CONSTITUTION, not political convenience of the moment. DOMESTIC – those seeking to subvert that Constitution and the government legitimately formed under its provisions.

This is why you occasionally see someone turn down a pardon. They intend to prove themselves not guilty. Thus they wont accept due to the “admission” aspect.

Is it? Because all I know is that internet ‘lawyers’ readily claim that to be the case, right up to the point that they feel the need to defend the honor of someone who has accepted a pardon.
By that logic, Hunter Biden can be considered guilty of every non-violent federal offense from 2014 until 2024.
So while it’s fairly well-established that accepting a pardon can make you seem more guilty in the court of public opinion, that’s a very different thing from it being so in a court of law.
Some quick research suggests that the most often-cited opinion on the matter is easily read to refer to public opinion (that is, the public is likely to presume guilt from accepting a pardon,) rather than the law, although the only prominent case referring to the matter never went beyond the 10th Circuit (where that court was clear that accepting a pardon is not an admission of guilt.)

Yes. To the law (rightly, IMHO), guilt is only established by conviction in a court of law, or a freely entered plea in same. (Also, to the law, a pardon after that does not erase the guilt.)

I understand that the time issue is defined in RICO.
I basically read a RICO explainer that some lawyer did years ago, don’t know if correct.
1. It is not all crimes, there is a specific list of crimes that the wider conspiracy has to have been involved in carrying out. 2. It has to be within ten years.
December 2015 or 2016, that has huge issues with establishign stuff in a timely way, and with a foreknowledge of actual killings.
2020, there were a few qualifying murders, and we are only five or six years out.
I have some sort of forecast that is silly for me to try to understand well enough for specific words.
1. I have had a doomer fixation on a similar hypothesis for years. Not only am IANAL, but there are other reasons to think my judgement on this stuff is suspect. 2.

Probably somebody else has already made this distinction (coming back to a half-finished comment and haven’t read what’s been posted in the interim), but since they weren’t aiding an enemy nation but were themselves an enemy within, the crime Obama and his minions committed is sedition, not treason.

We can have many paths to where we find ourselves now. Tribalism, rejection of elements of left theory, being drawn to an opposing theory, sentiment, etc.

There are reasons to think that we are mid surprise, and that we do not have complete knowledge of our alternatives, nor of exact outcomes of choices.
One of the issues with the communists, is the models they convince themselves are reality, and a bunch of complicated arguments they allow themselves to beleive about doing evil things to accomplish good or necessary things. Their evil choices of tactic tend to piss off and alienate people.
In matters of war, and in matters of war crime, winning the fight does not require a strict and mindless mirroring of tactics. Opponent can inspire, yes, but pick the tactics and strategies deliberately, which serve your ends.
WWII Japanese were not beaten with pure kindness, but, say, competing in terms of comfort women might have been an utterly terrible idea.
A model of the opposition is that they are a minority, and have truly depended on fraudulent elections.
Voters somewhat correlate to shooters, even if shooting is much messier and riskier than voting. There is a minimum threshold of deranged shooters below which the left cannot meaningfully force the loss of civil order.
There’s an inference (about which there is maybe room for reasonable men to disagree) that they are below that threshold. If this is true, some choice of goals point directly at “then act on what you can prove convincingly, and maybe wait on other priorities”.

I joked about the Brazil hot air balloon incident, and the Bengelidash crash of the PRC manufactured jet fighter trainer because you might think I was autistic the way that I was raving about the ‘we had an aviation incident in January, must be Trump’s fault’ political claims.
To some extent, aviation crashes can be normal. We prefer rare, but even if rare at modern traffic volumes you will get some. Soem crashes have avoidable contributing factors, but not all of those are a result of some politically convenient recent politician.
Hearsay is the FAA has a logn term issue, going back to Obama, with the humans that operate the aircraft control equipment. DIE informed problems with test changes and graduating enough trained persons.
Hardware/software side of the installations is important, and is not necessarily something that you could fix in a year by having the money.
I am not sure that modern air traffic towers, or modern airport radars would have prevented any of the crashes. Basically, the DC helicopter stuff could simply be manning. We would have to see how a replacement works to be able to evaluate whether a modern system would have automatically prevented whatever thingy.
DIE dollars and RF engineering dollars are not fungible, because you need the right management skills in various places to get RF engineering dollars spent effectively. If Biden and if Buttigieg were insane grifters, that might prohibit an effective modernization program.
It is very far from certain that the recently appropriated monies for aircraft control towers will prove to be an effective modernization program.
On the radar side, some of the FAA’s systems are fifty years old. IIRC. That is maybe a lot on congress deciding not to fund stuff, but maybe says some thing about red tape management questions.
The computers that integrate the radar tracks, and display it for the traffic controllers, are an IT problem, but one with some very domain specific aspects. For the last twenty years, the FAA has been very interested in funding research in human-machine interfaces for both aircraft traffic control, and for direct aircraft operation.
Anyway, I have a bunch of biases and outright ignorance in how I evaluate some of these engineering procurement questions. I like the idea of updating the FAA’s facilities and equipment they maintain, but also I have been trying to get into the work force that might profit by doign some of that work.

Well, the FAA would contract it out, so it’s RockLockMartBoeWhatever who needs the engineering talent. What the FAA needs is program management talent, which is similarly Venn-non-intersectional.
And since it’s government contracting, lowest bidder would likely win the contract, which means the winner would in turn contract it out to West Asia, if not the Middle Kingdom, and that would be a fine kettle of backdoors indeed.
It’s a fairly tricky problem these days with the radar tracking stuff mostly getting traded away for position and kinetics self-reporting via datalink, and conflict resolution between converging airplanes getting electronically negotiated between each other, leaving the controllers going “Hey, what are you guys doing?” today.
With everybody datalinking to everybody, and most cockpit panels down to small GA planes having a fair picture of everything else that’s in the area, the ATC folks will be in even more of a cat-herding situation. Add in all the fancy new curving approaches and tricky stuff that GPS nav can enable and… well, as noted it’s tricky.
