Betraying America...Part Two

“All criminals should be arrested. Obama is no different. In fact, he once said no one is above the law. If he truly believes that then let justice be served.” -U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL)

Rep. Fine's comments came soon after National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, released the first round of declassified documents that “suggested” former president Barack Obama colluded with key Democrat players to accuse Russia of “meddling” in the 2016 Presidential election when they knew well that no such “meddling” took place. And this prompted Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department to assign a task force to look into what are serious allegations.

And look into it Bondi did for within days she announced with “utmost seriousness” the formation of a “Strike Force” to examine said allegations. But not to be forgotten is that there already were four separate criminal, counterintelligence, and watchdog probes between 2019 and 2023 regarding these very allegations with all concluding that Russia did interfere and did help Trump win in 2016. However, the caveat here is that said probes were all Democrat initiated with many of those same players now coming back into question. And this means that what Tulsi Gabbard did now was expose what was covered up and lied about back then...which I covered last week in“Betraying America...Part One.”

And so with Pam Bondi now tasked with the job of turning said into federally chargeable offenses..a not so easy task as presidential immunity, statutes of limitations, and acts of treason and subversion come into play...with this being the crux of, “Betraying America... Part Two.”

So here let's start with none other than Barack Obama himself, for if not for him and his revenge driven agenda revolving around Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump, Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden in 2020 might have been a win instead. And with two serious allegations being made against Obama...that of treason and subversion...the question now being asked is does “presidential immunity” come into play. “Presidential immunity” typically covers actions taken while the president was performing “official duties” while in office, but does it apply to a criminal prosecution of a former president after he's left office... making this a truly convoluted question.

Simply, the President of these United States does have “absolute immunity” from civil lawsuits if the suit arose due to actions the president took within his designated Constitutional authority. However, there are limits to what constitutes “official acts,” and presidents are not “absolutely immune” from all lawsuits, like those that involve actions they took before taking office or those they took “outside of their Constitutional authority.” And it's these last five words, “outside of their Constitutional authority,” which might or might not come into play in the DOJ making a case against Obama. How so...because the Constitution does not give the president the right to interfere with what are supposed to be “free and fair” elections.

“Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution” clearly states what are actions related to ones official presidential duties, as in their giving a State of the Union address to Congress; recommending measures to Congress; receiving foreign ambassadors and public ministers; taking care that the laws are faithfully executed; and commissioning all officers of the United States. However, “presidential immunity” generally does not extend to unofficial conduct (as in conduct that does not relate to their aforementioned duties), or conduct that occurred before the president took office.

And while presidents also have “absolute immunity” for actions taken within the so called ”outer perimeter” of their duties, trying to “fix an election” or trying to negate or overthrow a duly elected president does not fall into that or any category. According to the SCOTUS “outer perimeters,” encompasses actions which arose from a president’s “unofficial conduct”  while in office, or which arose from actions taken before he took office. 

 

Simply, the judiciary can hold a president...either past or present...liable for private actions taken, just like they can for anyone else. And in Barack Obama's case regarding “election collusion,” said actions were both secretive and private in nature.

However, when it comes to criminal liability for a former president...which would be the case with Obama...while it gets a bit murky, the fact is that word semantics does come into play via the word “presumptively.” How so? While the Supreme Court’s 6 to 3 decision in the 2024 case of “Trump v. United States,” that sitting presidents are “presumptively” immune from criminal prosecutions with “immunity” in regards to official acts they took as president, the ruling left the door open to the possibility that the government can challenge the word “presumptively” by proving that prosecuting the president would not “pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.”

And this is key, while the principal of “presumptively” does certainly apply to sitting presidents, sometimes former presidents are not “absolutely immune” from what is considered to be criminal liability as former presidents do not...I repeat do not...have “immunity” for their “unofficial acts” committed while president. Simply, what Obama tried to do during his second term as president was first try to stop Trump from getting elected, and then stop him from holding office after being duly elected, acts which not now or have been deemed to be Constitutionally designated acts. Therefore, it's my belief that in the case of Obama, due to the fact that not only did he mastermind the conspiracy to make knowingly false accusations against President Trump and subvert “We the People” of our Constitutionally given right to a “free and fair election” via acts of “obstruction” both before and after the official election took place, but that, thankfully, there is no “statute of limitations” on prosecuting anyone for what I believe to be “treason” against the United States.

And with “treason” being officially defined in the Constitution as “levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort,” I think it's quite possible that a case for “treason” can be leveled against Obama because the actual meaning of the word “war” is not spelled out in the Constitution. Remember, while the word“war” is most commonly defined as “an armed conflict between political groups involving hostilities of considerable duration and magnitude,” know that is not the only definition of “war” as the word itself also encompasses nonphysical “acts of war” as well. For example there are economic wars, sanctions, cyber attacks, cold wars, and political wars of words fought between once political friends now turned adversaries, all examples of wars with no blood shed.

In the case of the 2016 presidential election the word “war” could then legally be applied to mean that in Obama's “colluding” with his political cronies...most of whom were his national security cabinet members....they knowingly manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a political “witch hunt”...a non violent “coup” if you will...against a now sitting U.S. president. Remember again that Obama and crew first tried to prevent Trump from winning the 2016 election, and when that failed they tried to prevent Trump from assuming the office he was duly elected to hold, thus Obama did declare “war” on what the Constitution calls the right to “free and fair elections,” by his trying to overturn the voice of “We the People.”

Again, “war” is not always defined by physical violence or by blood lost, but that sometimes “war” is about an opposing political party using “under the radar” tactics to try and overthrow the sitting government simply via “subversion” from within. And that folks is exactly what Barack Obama and those loyal to him and his would be puppet Hillary Clinton tried to do. And that surely is an “act of war” even in the broadest of senses, and thus astute attorneys would most probably be able to legally override even the “outer perimeters” of what is “presumptive presidential immunity” especially when “subversion” is thrown into the mix. Why so...because what Obama orchestrated, via his working “from within,” was a systemic attempt to both undermine an election and, if need be, to possibly try to overthrow the new Trump government.  

So with the very definition of “subversion” now also in play, the aforementioned word “intrusion” might not only be overridden, but there well could then be a charge of “treason” being leveled against Obama. How so...because Obama knowingly and willingly “colluded” against a political rival,..technically a private citizen at the time...and then subversively tried to overthrow the government of newly elected President Donald Trump. And Obama's reason was to get Hillary into power thus completing his “transformation of America”...the very antithesis of not only our Constitutional republic, but the erroneously claimed democracy many believe us to be.

And yet even with the possibilities I've just stated many still believe that Barack Obama will not be charged with “treason” let alone be charged with anything out of fear that in bringing charges against America's “supposed” first black president...he's actually “mixed race”...could lead to what I call “the element” to again start “acting badly.” Fear relating to politics, especially when aided by the media, is a powerful tool used to help keep the party faithful in line, but sometimes fear must take a backseat to doing what is right not just for some but for the sum of our country.

So as it stands now, as I write this, recently released emails pertaining to the now declassified annex of the “Durham Report” show that right from its inception the FBI, the Obama administration, and George Soros'  infamous“Open Society Foundation” were working in tandem on the development of the “Russia Collusion Hoax.” And this means that in the case of Obama, the aforementioned question of “intrusion” can now be overridden by his having committed, what I believe to be, an act of “treason” for knowingly and willingly “colluding” against Donald Trump, in order to get Hillary into office. To Obama and his ilk, completing the “transformation of America”...the very antithesis of our Constitutional republic...was worth all risks taken especially when they thought they'd never be caught let alone ever be charged with anything.

But here I must say that whether charges against Obama can or cannot...will or will not...be brought someone must be called to task for to sweep all under the rug means that collusion of the most dangerous kind can and will happen again with the victims being both “We the People” and the Constitution's rule of law...for without the law we are not the nation our “Founders and Framers” designed us to be.

So if not Obama...if his skin color, the media, and the “element” are able to shield him once again,..who then will become the Democrats much needed “fall guy?” Remember, even the Democrat hierarchy has to know that trouble lies ahead what with DNI Gabbard's continuing to release intelligence reports showing that top Obama officials perjured themselves before Congress regarding their made-up Trump/Russia “witch hunt.” In fact, word has it that the CIA and the DOJ are still working together to declassify more documents that could lead to serious legal consequences for Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former NI Director James Clapper.

In fact, in the last document release as I was writing this, materials from a long-classified appendix to the Durham Report showed that the then still loyal to Obama FBI was involved in promoting a scheme concocted by none other than Hillary herself, with Obama's knowledge of course, to help “frame” Donald Trump as being a Russian “asset.” And current CIA Director John Ratcliffe echoed this sentiment by stating that this “directly implicates Hillary Clinton.”

So with Hillary's name now being floated as a possible “fall guy” to help keep Obama off the hook and out of jail, there's another more plausible and likely name that comes to mind as being the one to take a hit for “the Obama team”...and that is former CIA Director John Brennan. Why so...because he did lie to Congress and he would not be protected against perjury charges if the statute of limitations has not run out.

But the bottom line does remain that someone or many someones must be held accountable for not only the damages to our country they caused, but they must be made examples of not only legally, but in the court of public opinion as well. Not to do so makes a mockery of our Constitutional rule of law, while also sending a message that some are indeed above the rule of law. And if that be the case America's 250th birthday might well be our Constitutional Republic's last.

And with that I say there might still be a “Betraying America...Part Three” for sometimes it takes someone thinking outside the “proverbial box” to see something even the experts missed, so case not closed.

Religion in War...A Factor Overlooked

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google  

Religion...“organized religion” to be more precise...has a long and somewhat sorted history...man-made to those who are non-believers...the “One Most Holy” who has dominion over us all to those who do believe. And yet neither side, to date, has been able to offer tangible here and now proof positive of either the existence of God or the lack thereof.

And while to the Christian faithful the Holy Bible is all the proof they need of God's existence, yet that proof is actually not tangible proof for the Bible in reality is but the words of mortal men...men “inspired” by the words of God yet not written by the hand of God. That deed alone belongs to the Jewish faith...which preceded Christianity by thousands of years...for it was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who, with his own hand, set the words of the Ten Commandments upon rock tablets giving them to Moses after he led the Jews out of bondage in Egypt. And while both “Abrahamic” religions...Judaism and Christianity...do believe in but one God who rules over all...monotheism it's called...the belief in one God alone does not make it fact nor does it negate what many believe to be fact, thus continuing the ongoing centuries old argument between believers v. nonbelievers.

But this article is not about ones personal religious beliefs nor is it about any of the religious collectives to which one might or might not belong, yet religion itself is this article's core topic as it relates to the realities of war...including Iran's ongoing war chant “death to Israel, death to America,” and how it's the calling card for Iran's what they believe to be a “Holy War.” And this key factor is being overlooked by far too many folks as this is the most dangerous type of war for when ones enemy believes that God is on their side alone, they think they can do no wrong.

In fact, history itself has shown that religious “tensions,” if you will, is what contributed to the rise of extremist ideologies as witnessed by the Crusades, what was the Papal initiated religious wars of “reclamation” fought during the Middle Ages; the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) between Catholics and Protestants; and islam's numerous still ongoing wars of hoped for“islamic conquest.” But the most vile of all wars having religion as one of its driving forces was, in my opinion, World War II, for not only did one evil man promote anti-Semitism to justify what was to become the “Holocaust,” but he, Adolf Hitler, deemed an entire group of people...the Jewish people...to be “sub-human” and in need of “extermination,” thus claiming that in doing so it would help to “purify” the so-called “Aryan race.” Remember, Hitler was obsessed with “racial purity” and used the word “Aryan” to describe his idea of a “pure German race.”

And Hitler's personal hatred for the Jewish people...the people he identified as “enemies of the state”...became the very people he foolishly held responsible for both Germany's economic and cultural decline. And when it was coupled with Hitler's all but consuming jealousy of the Jews economic and personal successes...the Jews fate was sealed. And when Hitler's hate fueled rhetoric morphed into his selling the justification for murdering six million+ Jews, even the most devote and faithful of religious believers legitimized and gave credence to what was truly the saddest chapter in this, the most unholy of wars.

Simply, Hitler was able to unify the vast majority of the German people together in an act of cleverly crafted preordained hate, thus laying the groundwork for the creating of selectively targeted victims hidden within a most vile of masqueraded causes, while at the same time negating...or at the very least masking...for way too many of the faithful the guilt factor that some must have carried...guilt for their having remained silent about the unspeakable acts knowingly being committed while they willingly and shamefully looked away.

And Hitler did relish in using the influence of Christian religious leaders...religious leaders too afraid to stand up against the man who literally threw aside the Biblical concepts of knowing right from wrong, good from evil... and did so to garner their help in keeping the faithful in line...as in loyal to Hitler's party line that is. And so the clergy became but one of the propaganda arms of the “Third Reich.”

So here the question then becomes, why did the majority of Germany's religious leaders...why did the majority of Europe's religious leaders...not stand up against the evil that walked amongst them? The answer is really not at all that surprising in that once Nazi Germany was able to manipulate both religious rhetoric and its clerical deliverers, churches became gathering places by which Hitler successfully spread Nazi propaganda while instilling in the faithful what he believed to be the “legitimization of his actions.” And he did so while at the same time fostering a sense of what some call “divine support” for the eliminating of those deemed “unholy”...as in the Jews...the now easily and frequently blamed “Christ killers.”

And so for too many countries of Europe “Jew hatred” became a then quite acceptable norm for way too many folks, while the systemic murdering of six millions Jews...babies and children amongst them... morphed into a complex play between Biblical teachings of religious doctrine, and the fact that on some level both the German people and the people of Europe had to know what was really going on. Why so...because Nazi Germany became experts in manipulating religious rhetoric to help propagate its hate filled ideology and propaganda.

Simply, Hitler was successful in using religious musings to turn neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend, all in an effort to not only place blame on those who were actually blameless, but to use the religious faithful as one of the means by which to help spread the doctrine that became known as the “Final Solution.” Churches across Germany and Europe were forced to align their teachings with Nazi state rhetoric and propaganda, and unfortunately too many of the faithful did fall sheepishly in line no matter that the smell of death reeked even inside houses of worship, And while some stood strong against this most perverse style of indoctrination, those who did so were also deemed “enemies of the state,” and like the Jews they tried to protect their bodies joined that of Jews piled high inside the anything but “work camps.”

And Germany of the 1930s and 1940s clearly shows that when religious idealism and fervor is entwined within the reasons for war, a most dangerous of combinations is created for it causes divisions and hatreds amongst people that might not have existed before. And this in turn gives birth to radical extremism which can easily morph into immeasurable suffering and loss of life with God's holy name becoming anything but holy. And when a U.S. president is faced with such a quandary their actions, or lack thereof, becomes part of history itself with both religious and secular history melding into one and the same.

Such is the case with then war time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) who simply ignored what was deemed to be the “industrial scale killing” of Jews taking place in Europe. Believed by some to be an anti-Semite, FDR's actions...or lack thereof...did speak for themselves then as they do now that history has been written.

FDR was a practicing Episcopalian who not only embraced a “Jesus based theology,” but one who mentioned God and religion in his war time speeches,  yet he literally turned his back on Hitler's systemic annihilation of Europe's Jewish population. And in Roosevelt's taking no actions to help save the Jews, his disdain for the Jewish people and their faith was on full display for all to see if only their eyes had been open.

And so, the claimed to be “man of faith”...never once publicly spoke out against Hitler's systemic murdering of Europe's Jews not even after “The Auschwitz Protocal”* was released to the American press in the fall of 1944. Briefly, this document described, in detail, the atrocities committed at Auschwitz and Birkenau by three camp escapees, and how Auschwitz and others like it needed to be bombed. In fact, in the summer and early fall of 1944, the “World Jewish Congress” along with the “War Refugee Board” (WRB) forwarded requests to bomb Auschwitz to the US War Department. These requests were denied by both the department and by FDR himself. And this was no matter that the US Army Air Force had recently carried out a heavy bombing raid of the I.G. Farben synthetic oil and rubber (Buna) factory which was less than five miles away from the “Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center.”

A truly sad commentary indeed, and no excuses made can mask the fact that the plight of European Jews was of little to no concern to Roosevelt or to those in his eyes closed administration. 

Simply, religion...the Jewish religion...did indeed color the landscape of WWII and in the way we fought. And while our military shoulders no blame, the fact remains that World War II...especially in the European Theater... was indeed a religious colored war, making this war even uglier than it already was. In fact, if it was not for the “extermination camps” still operating unimpeded, and Roosevelt not allowing the bombing of said camps or the rail lines continuing to bring Jews to what he well knew were the gas chambers...the war might have been over sooner and countless Jewish lives would have been saved, and the children murdered would have been able to grow up.

In fact, in a February 2013 edition of the Jerusalem Post, former South Dakota Senator and 1972 Democrat presidential nominee, George McGovern spoke about his having piloted a B-24 “Liberator” in December 1944, and how his squadron bombed Nazi oil facilities less than five miles from Auschwitz. And in an earlier interview in 2005, McGovern stated that, “There is no question we should have attacked Auschwitz,” adding that, “ There was a pretty good chance we could have blasted those rail lines off the face of the Earth, which would have interrupted the flow of people to those death chambers, and we had a pretty good chance of knocking out those gas ovens.”

Could have, should have, would have...no tangible reason not to have bombed both Auschwitz and the rail lies except for the “no-go” from Roosevelt himself with his flimsy excuses being that our priority was to defeat the Axis powers before anything else. Sure some “collateral damage” would have happened, but that would have been a small price to pay for the “ovens” and “crematories” to be permanently rendered out of commission.

So when some say there was no basis in religion for WWII...when some evil sorts still say the Jews got what they deserved and that the job Hitler started needs to be finished; when supposed men of God throw their faith aside in order to focus on the perpetrators instead of the victims; remember that religion is indeed a first, last, or somewhere in the middle...and probably forever...factor regarding all aspects of war.

And really why shouldn't it be for God seems to have done nothing to help stop hate, war, or injustice. God basically walked away from us after (what some believe) to be creation for it seems, at least to me, that “He” never intended to be “hands on” if you will, as “free will” was given to us for a reason. Case closed.

On Memorial Day...And Always  

By: Diane Sori / The Patriots Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google

 

Monday is Memorial Day and while many will go to the beach or enjoy a hearty barbecue, let’s not forget the real reason for this most special and solemn of days…a day to remember and honor those who put their lives on the line for our beloved country…a day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for a purpose they believed was greater than themselves…a purpose of keeping "We the People" safe and free at home.

And while political battles continue in D.C. and across the nation, Memorial Day offers us the chance for all Americans…no matter our race, creed, color, religion, party affiliation, or whether this president is our president of choice…to unite together and remember the one thing we all we have in common...gratitude...gratitude for those who served…gratitude for the brave men and women who proudly wore but sadly died wearing our nation’s uniform…gratitude so that we can go to that beach and can enjoy that barbecue.

On Memorial Day there should be no hyphenated Americans (nor should there ever be)…just Americans bowing their heads together in prayer as the flag of these United States is raised throughout this great nation, and then as it's solemnly lowered to half-staff. On this day let us remember the more than one million American patriots who gave their lives in service to this country. And when the flag is once again raised high at noon we must also remember to not allow their sacrifice to be in vain for a nation that forgets its true heroes is a nation that loses its soul.

Memorial Day is a day when we should teach our children the importance of the sacrifices made by so many to ensure their freedoms and the freedoms of generations to come.

Memorial Day is a day when many Americans will visit cemeteries or memorials nationwide to place small flags at the base of the headstones of the fallen to let them know they are not forgotten nor will they ever be.

Memorial Day is a day to honor the remains buried at the Tomb of the "Unknown Soldier" for while he, brave soldier whomever he may be, is home resting on American soil he is not with his loved ones, but serves as a reminder of the many who never made it home, and should remind us that there are still some left behind who must be brought home.

Memorial Day is a day when the "Pledge of Allegiance" should take on a renewed meaning, and should reawaken in us all the realization that we do live in the greatest nation the world has ever known, and remind us that some things are indeed worth both fighting and dying for.

Memorial Day is a day to honor courage for while those lost in battle knew fear, they sacrificed with courage of heart and strength of conviction, something that must never be forgotten for without knowing fear there can be no courage and without courage there can be no victory. Those who gave all deemed their love of country and duty to freedom were of greater value and more important then the fears they faced in dying.

Memorial Day is a day to also honor the very freedoms those lost in battle gave to each and every one of us…the freedom we have in our beloved America to act, speak, and think as we so choose without hindrance or restraint…a freedom we intend never to lose…a freedom we will fight for with just as much passion, dedication, determination, and courage as those who sacrificed before us…for we will not allow their sacrifice to be forgotten nor will we allow our freedoms to be taken away.

No…we will never allow their sacrifice to have been in vain.

Memorial Day is a day for prayers for those lost…a day for honoring their memories not just with tearful remembrances but also with a smile…a day to rediscover the meaning of what our military fights and dies for…our liberty, our safety, our individual rights guaranteed us under our Constitution, and the continuing American story of which we all play a part in.

So on this Memorial Day I will bow my head in solemn prayer and thank and remember those who made that ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free…and pray to God that someday…"nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Isaiah 2:4)

Someday…someday soon I pray. And may God our Father Bless America today, tomorrow,  and always.
