Is now the time for all good men and women to realize that the future is in our hands? Not the hands of politicians whose ambition and greed have bankrupted our nation and enslaved our children. It is in our hands as given to us at the founding of our nation. I purposely did not say the United States since our nation was founded on natural law and Sacred honor first; then the Articles of Confederation and finally the Constitution which gives us our current system of government.
Or does it?
After watching the video below, I can only surmise that Janet Napolitano is guilty of treason. Her indignation at allowing confidential information to be compromised without repercussions is matched only by her arrogance.
Does anyone feel that the Department of Homeland Security has the safety of the American people as their true mission? Let’s consider asking how secure the people in Arizona currently feel based on their punishment for trying to enforce federal laws. Napolitano’s “testimony” supports an agenda shared by the Muslim Brotherhood, not our national security. Shakespeare’s Hamlet has an excellent phrase for her testimony:
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
As does John McCain and several other politicians whose response to the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in our government will also be shown to be treasonous. Which brings me to the point: when (not if) the government collapses due to this infiltration, bankruptcy and/or civil unrest, what will happen next?
Let’s look back to history for a possible outcome: the Nuremberg Trials:
No trial provides a better basis for understanding the nature and causes of evil than do the Nuremberg trials from 1945 to 1949. Those who come to the trials expecting to find sadistic monsters are generally disappointed. What is shocking about Nuremberg is the ordinariness of the defendants: men who may be good fathers, kind to animals, even unassuming–yet who committed unspeakable crimes. Years later, reporting on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, Hannah Arendt wrote of “the banality of evil.” Like Eichmann, most Nuremberg defendants never aspired to be villains. Rather, they over-identified with an ideological cause and suffered from a lack of imagination or empathy: they couldn’t fully appreciate the human consequences of their career-motivated decisions.
American excellence must be restored with Sacred honor, courage and justice. We have three options ahead of us:
1. We can let the people responsible for the destruction of our country go free in an effort to start fresh.
2. We can engage in vigilante justice.
3. We can put them on trial.
Option number 1 is the easy way out. But then I remember Pastor Bonhoeffer’s words:
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
There is no honor in this option: evil must be confronted and held accountable. We cannot rebuild our nation on shifting sand.
Option number 2 also is an easy way out: Wipe evil out as quickly as possible and move on. The problem again is the issue of Sacred honor. Vengeance is not justice. As Eric Holder has shown the nation how little the administration regards the concept of justice; we cannot abandon one of our highest principles. Without the rule of law, there cannot be a Republic.
Which brings us to option 3. We currently have no rule of law in the United States and therefore no Republic. We see the consequences of lawlessness and its support by the government every day with their policy of social justice based on mitigating factors. The Constitution has been usurped as has our Liberty by vain and aspiring men holding the highest offices of the land. And we put them there. That is why we must hold those responsible for their actions accountable: with mercy and justice. We must prove to the world that our founding principles were not abandoned and show that we will make the hard decisions and sacrifices to prove it.
The Nuremberg Trials accomplished this goal by showing the world that evil men must be held accountable for their actions. I want to recommend that these trials be held in Washington, DC. If we are to rebuild our future, let us start by restoring the name and honor of George Washington. Who among us now regards “Washington” with honor based on the actions of our “leaders”?
The arrogance shown by Janet Napolitano is rampant in our nation’s Capital. Who associates the names of Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett with honor? The complete list is not short but let us hope that “The Washington Trials” will be the option America chooses to start a future built on a solid foundation.

Agreed 100%. Posted.
David,
Your article poses an interesting and challenging dilemma for America and her citizens.
As a nation of laws in which a respect for law and justice was supposed to be the cornerstone of government and society, the best outcome would be for those who commit treason and seek to destroy America be tried in a court of law, found guilty, and receive the prescribed punishment. Such an outcome, however, presupposes a return to a constitutional government and restoration of the Liberty and Individual Freedom that has been stolen from us.
The Nuremberg Trials could only have taken place after the war was over.

It is hard for Americans to imagine a war being over without first accepting that a war will be fought. As you stated, we have to first accept the proposition that we can “return to a constitutional government and restoration of the Liberty and Individual Freedom that has been stolen from us”. I will never accept the alternative for me or my children. The first step to restore our Liberty is to understand that is has been “stolen” from us. History has shown that the price of freedom is dear as Thomas Paine wrote. Once we are willing to pay this price, the actions that you foreshadow will happen.
Option 3 is a hard pill to swallow, but it is the right one. Posted
Not only do I agree with you, but presidents and congressmen have been subverting the constitution for decades. Presidents routinely initiate wars without congressional approval. Presidents circumvent congress with executive orders. Agencies circumvent congress with regulations. Members of congress routinely violate self-imposed ethics. We’ve outsourced the nation’s finances to a non-governmental organization (the Fed) that has no congressional oversight. And, we’ve allowed the president to indirectly control it by giving him the authority to appoint the director. Which begs one to ask, “Who gave the president this authority in the first place?”
Some of the above could also be considered treasonous, or at least qualify one for significant jail time.
The nation, as our Founding Fathers created and envisioned its future, was lost at least 100 years ago. Our ability to continue to exist as a nation was lost decades ago. But, it’s sort of like killing a chicken by cutting off its head off -- the body will run around aimlessly and violently for quite a while before it finally dies. I think we’re now in that stage of the nation’s life.
We no longer have legitimate laws, so when and how would option #3 be performed? Would we have to fight a war (and win) prior to trials for these crimes? Or would the war be ended with option #2? Some things to think on.
Cruachan!

Lets make sure the gallows are strung prior, with sturdy rope, and pushed as images for the rest of the .gov to see.
And why should we wait for the circus to start, before putting them on notice of their crimes? As criminals, they have only to be apprehended, since their crimes are obvious to everyone but themselves.
Who will put them on notice? Eric Holder is found guilty of Contempt of Congress and the Department of Justice will not take action. Congress has to have legal counsel on how to proceed. Janet Napolitano defends a traitor’s actions and then covers it up as shown in the video. Isn’t this act also treasonous? The president tells the nation at his State of the Union address that he will bypass Congress to pass his agenda. Isn’t that treason? Both parties approve the NDAA removing our rights under most of the Bill of Rights? Isn’t that treason?
But then they know what their actions will bring: NDAA, 1st amendment limitations, massive hollow point ammunition purchases, large food stockpiles of Mountain House products and preparations to secure their families. They also know that most Americans do not have the courage to stand up for Liberty and the Republic. It is our duty to change this fact.
“Most Americans do not have the courage.” That’s what I’ve been thinking on the most. It is also the most frustrating. Having been in a movement which requires personal sacrifice and even potential jail time, I have seen clearly that most do not want this level of participation. But I believe it’s an absolute necessity. Checking a box is not the solution. Even still is the level of morality that even those deepest in this liberty movement wish to put in place. Many do not want God at the top. So yes, we have our own brainwashing and atheism to contend with. Nevertheless, God still moves mountains. I still believe that.
#3 is interesting. But like you mention, we have to have a foundation of law on our side. I believe that a re-establishment of the de jure states could provide us with a foundation for such a trial. Not only this, but it would give us proper status as an injured party (state citizens, not nationalized U.S. citizens) which would allow the deepest charges of Constitutional violation to be brought to the surface for judgement. The verdict resulting from charges on such a grand scale would not only remove these people from office, it would be a counter-revolution, a complete reversal of the overthrow which occurred in 1867 and 1868 to subjugate our states and people to the federal government in the first place. These “roots” of violation would ripple outward so that the branches of corruption would fall away. A fresh start indeed.
The Republic is indeed dead, and as a natural result, We the People are getting fed up -- as such, there *WILL* be a good bit of #2 for certain, as it is a necessary prelude to war… let us pray that the fight itself is prosecuted with honor as well as valor, or the republic will be finally consumed therein, and it’s ashes spread as a consequence.
Never forget the path which brough us to Nuremberg… it was furnished with passive compliance, willful ignorance, repeated denials and appeasements, and finally with war, death, and destruction. WE HAVE BEEN WARNED

~Those who abuse Liberty, do so at their own peril!
We must ask our candidates and present representatives what they plan to do about this now and if elected. And keep on them write about their responses or non-responses.
