With many unanswered questions still looming large from the Fast and Furious  investigation, Occupy Wall Street, and the 9-11 Attack on the American consulate  in Benghazi it is time to ask whether the Obama administration with its reckless  policies to “fundamentally change America” is guilty of sedition or perhaps even  treason.

Webster’s defines sedition as, Crime of creating a revolt, disturbance, or  violence against lawful civil authority with the intent to cause its overthrow  or destruction. Because it is limited to organizing and encouraging opposition  to government rather than directly participating in its overthrow, sedition is  regarded as falling one step short of the more serious crime of treason.  In the  U.S. the display of a certain flag or the advocacy of a particular  movement….(such as anarchism, or communism). Knowingly illegally arming  Mexican drug cartels to gain evidence to abridge the second amendment is  violence against lawful civil authority, even if it does not result in the  murder of a law enforcement official, which Fast and Furious did.  This  administration supported the Occupy Wall Street (OWS), a movement that was rife  with socialists and anarchists calling for the overthrow of our government and  economy, often resorting to violence with the blessings of former advisors.  The  Failed Gun running operation to arm Libyan rebels in Benghazi resulted in the  consulate being overrun and four American lives being lost.  Without delving  into the administration’s policies, these three cases show an obvious tie to “organizing and encouraging opposition to government” as well as “advocacy” in  the case of the OWS movement.

Treason is defined as, Offense of attempting to overthrow the government of  one’s country or of assisting its enemies in war. In the U.S., the framers of  the Constitution defined treason narrowly—as the levying of war against the U.S.  or the giving of aid and comfort to its enemies…

In all three of the examples mentioned above the administration directly or  indirectly assisted our enemies in time of war.  In the case of Benghazi and  Fast and Furious the gun running provided aid… to our enemies. If they used the  weapons against us did they levy war?  The drug cartels are enemies of the U.S.   Further, OWS wants to undermine our economy, which was Al-Qaida’s goal on 9-11.   Both of these examples are a form of domestic terror. Since the Libyan rebels  were assisted by the Muslim brotherhood that came from Egypt and has the same  goals as Al-Qaida, the administration is guilty of encouraging terrorism against  the U.S.  Ask, were the weapons given to the rebels passed through to Al-Qaida  and used against us in the consulate attack? We have seen the lack of  cooperation by the DOJ in the Fast and furious Investigation, praise for the OWS  demonstrations by the president, and the great Benghazi cover-up after the  Consulate attack , yet we still do not know the truth regarding guns,  intelligence, security, and missing weapons.  The administration shared the  bogus story regarding a video about Mohammed the pedophile and womanizer as the  cause of the attack. Then the State Department said it was a planned 9-11  terrorist attack and not a demonstration about a video.  What will the next  STORY be?  We have heard that the president knew, did not know, went to bed,  never called, etc. which brings to mind something I was told as a child: “When  you tell the truth, the story doesn’t change.”  One thing is certain, with all  the changes to the Benghazi story that have come out of the Obama  Administration, someone is lying and others are covering it up. 

Call it the total incompetence of this administration with guns and OWS or  the A,B, C, foreign policy, (Appease, Apologize, Bow down to out of a Lack  Courage in the Face of Crisis), that actually led to this latest round of  terrorist attacks.  The Obama Administration has ignored the truth about Fast  and Furious, hoping it will go away.  Now it appears they are doing the same  with the Benghazi gun running operation.  Whatever the facts are the American  people deserve to know what occurred and why in each circumstance.  Is this  administration guilty of sedition and or Treason?  The policies point to it and  the actions scream it.  The Obama camp has yet to truthfully respond about any  of these cases, and continues to be evasive, unclear, and confusing very  effectively, with full media protection and complicity.

Brigitte Gabriel, a leading expert on Islamic extremism stated “It is such a  shame that in our country today, we have an administration that is not  forthright and truthful, and is more concerned with public appearances and  elections than protecting America. It is shameful the way this administration  has handled national security and foreign policy, to the point where we have  become the laughingstock of our enemy…”

Sedition and treason aside, our lack of response only emboldens militant  Islamists who understand and respect strength, not the weakness continually  shown by this administration.

The president took the following oath of office “I do solemnly swear that I  will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will  to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the  United States.” –Article II, Section 1, Constitution of the United States With his administration bordering on sedition and treason, it is time for Obama  to not only protect and defend the constitution but, as he stated in 2008, it is  time for some “transparency, honesty and Change” before any more damage occurs  to our nation.
