When Do Bad Policies
Become Treasonous?
By Chuck Baldwin
That America's two most recent
presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, have been guilty of
egregiously flawed and fallacious decisions and activities is
obvious. However, at what point do bad policies and conduct become
treasonous? At what point do we conclude that our country's
Chief Executive has crossed the line of mere insanity, and
has actually become a threat to our national security and survival?
Those who listened to my radio talk show when Bill Clinton was in
office know how I daily chronicled what I believed were acts of
treason. No, I am not talking about his numerous sexual
affairs. I'm talking primarily about what became known as
Chinagate.
There is a plethora of evidence to support the accusation that
then-President Bill Clinton deliberately facilitated the transfer of
military (including rocket and satellite) technology to Communist
China in exchange for large donations, via highly placed Chinese
operatives. That, more than the Monica Lewinsky affair, should have
been the basis of impeachment. However, the Republican majority in
Congress chose to do absolutely nothing about Clinton's
treasonous conduct in Chinagate. Now it is President George W. Bush
who is pushing the envelope.
As I have already stated in this column, I believe an independent
investigation should proceed aggressively in order to determine
whether or not President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney
deliberately manufactured evidence to support a preemptive invasion of
Iraq. If it is proven they did, they should both be impeached.
However, I believe there is another area of malfeasance committed
by G.W. Bush that is equal to anything Bill Clinton did: his
determination to facilitate a Mexican invasion of the United States,
and the decision to merge America into a trilateral North American
Community.
It is no hyperbole to say that Bush's infatuation with
Mexican immigration, and uniting the economy of the U.S. with those of
Canada and Mexico, threatens the sovereignty and independence of our
country, not to mention our national security.
One former military analyst is quoted as saying, "We are
under attack. Twenty million have already entered the country, and
more are to come. And sadly, many of our leaders are siding with the
invaders. They are willing to spend billions of dollars to deport
foreigners from Iraq and defend Iraq's borders, but
won't lift a finger to save the USA."
William Calhoun wrote, "We know that Hispanics in the
Mexican military are helping Arab terrorists sneak into the United
States. We know that many Mexican gangs have already made alliances
with terrorist cells in India."
Calhoun continued by saying, "In short, Hispanics plan to retake
the Southwest United States. Reconquista, is what they call it, and
their aim is for Aztlan to live once again." As Mexican activist Ricky
Sierra said, "We are recolonizing America. It is time for us to take
back what is ours."
Not only has President Bush turned a blind eye to the gigantic
national security risks posed by unfettered illegal immigration, he
has become the most outspoken expeditor of illegal immigration.
For example, just recently, President Bush gave a directive to the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals demanding that a convicted Mexican
rapist and murderer on death row be given another hearing. In what is
obviously an attempt to grovel before and appease the Mexican
government, Bush used an International Court of Justice ruling to
justify this presidential intrusion into the State of
Texas's judicial affairs.
The murderer's name is Jose Ernesto Medellin. He was one
of six gang members convicted of brutally raping and killing two
Houston teenagers, Jennifer Ertman, and Elizabeth Pena, who stumbled
upon a violent gang initiation. But George W. Bush wants him taken off
death row and given another hearing.
Thankfully, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has no intention of
being bullied by this rogue president. Judge Michael Keasler wrote
that Bush "exceeded his Constitutional authority by
intruding into the independent powers of the judiciary."
Presiding Judge, Sharon Keller, said that Bush's
"unprecedented, unnecessary, and intrusive exercise of
power over the Texas court system cannot be supported by the foreign
policy authority conferred on him by the United States
Constitution." (Source: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Remember, this is the same president that, at the behest of the
Mexican government, turned the U.S. Attorney's office loose
on two U.S. Border Patrol agents and a Texas Deputy Sheriff. According
to Jerome Corsi, "Investigators had no plans to bring
charges against Texas Sheriff's Deputy, Gilmer Hernandez,
until the Mexican government intervened and demanded it," the
officer's supervisor told WorldNetDaily.
Sheriff Don Letsinger, of Rocksprings, Texas, said the "Texas
Rangers were not going to recommend prosecution, but federal law
enforcement took over the case in response to the Mexican
government's intervention."
I trust that readers are also aware that in continuing to
accommodate illegal immigration, and placate the Mexican government
that promotes it, President Bush is ignoring the fact that, according
to Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), illegal aliens murder twelve
Americans each day. That equates to more Americans being killed by
illegal aliens each year than have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan
to date.
Now we hear that "the Bush administration is fully
committed to, beginning within weeks, a pilot test that will allow
Mexican trucks to operate freely across the U.S." (Source:
WorldNetDaily) Think of the thousands of U.S. workers that will
ultimately be displaced by Bush's decision to launch
Mexican trucks all across America. Not to mention the potential safety
and security problems that will ensue.
I ask the question again: At what point do bad policies and conduct
become treasonous? At what point do we conclude that our
country's Chief Executive has crossed the line of mere
insanity, and has actually become a threat to our national
security and survival? I believe Bill Clinton crossed that line. I
believe that George W. Bush has also, crossed that line.
The problem is, hardly anyone in Washington, D.C., has the guts to
do anything about it. For one thing, many of our Congressmen and
Senators from both major parties are equally culpable in both
Clinton's and Bush's chicanery.
Let's face it, folks: we are living under a government
that, regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats control it, is
sated with corruption. It's time we admitted it. No!
It's time we did something about it. I hope and pray that
the American people will wake up and realize that they have the
authority and power to throw off this bunch of
scoundrels. It's called the ballot box, and we need to use
it to thoroughly clean house. And we need to do it while we still can.
As Winston Churchill said, "If you will not fight for
the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not
fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come
to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against
you, and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse
case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because
it is better to perish, than to live as slaves."
