TREASON: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death.
I see a lot of comments calling everything treason. most of the times the crimes are serious, but do not fit this strict definition. We need to maintain higher standards here and call out crimes for what they are - not just label everything treason.
SEDITION: If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
MUTINY: a)Any person subject to this chapter who— (1)with intent to usurp or override lawful military authority, refuses, in concert with any other person, to obey orders or otherwise do his duty or creates any violence or disturbance is guilty of mutiny; (2)with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of lawful civil authority, creates, in concert with any other person, revolt, violence, or other disturbance against that authority is guilty of sedition; (3)fails to do his utmost to prevent and suppress a mutiny or sedition being committed in his presence, or fails to take all reasonable means to inform his superior commissioned officer or commanding officer of a mutiny or sedition which he knows or has reason to believe is taking place, is guilty of a failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition. (b)A person who is found guilty of attempted mutiny, mutiny, sedition, or failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct.
I don't know... Almost every single politician is adhering to our enemies and giving them aid and comfort through pushing Marxist propaganda and sending our money overseas. A lot of corporations are doing the same thing. If that doesn't directly meet the definition of Treason you gave then I don't know what does. The only difference with sedition is 2 or more of them are doing it together.
Sedition carries different min/max penalties and doesn't require citizenship to the country. Treason specifically requires "owing allegiance to", or in other words citizenship
Yes lawfagging is always treason
Because it deals with actual facts, and actual facts are RACISTTTTTT! Just like math.
Not everything is treason, not everything is sedition, but our representatives are guilty of both.
I would most of the “elite” are guilty of both treason and sedition. How is giving money to ISIS not treason?
That fits the narrow legal definition of treason.
Thank you for this. Histrionics do not serve us well, especially in reaching out to normies. Opposing political view or insufficiency (eg, "not conservative enough") is not traitorous or seditious. We need to hold to a higher standard.
Disagree. Anyone who voted for Biden or a RINO is giving aid and comfort to our enemies. I would argue they are all traitors.
They are Americans too bro. Misguided of course but casting a vote for the wrong guy is NOT treason
Yessir. Well stated. We really do need to hold a higher standard .. esp here.
And what court? Military or Civil?
Mutiny is a military crime obviously but it also applies in cases of any military personnel refusing to obey orders from the civilian Commander In Chief. Mentioned here specifically because many here have accused military brass of treason when their crime was in fact mutiny
Thanks.
