Can anyone tell me if starting a war with propaganda qualifies as tyranny or treason?
And don't those crimes usually involve prison, or hanging or some other harsh punishment?

After all, look at all the dead people, the soldiers, the innocents of Iraq and Afghanistan, and look at what our nation has become in 8 short years, do any of these acts perpetrated by this criminal gang qualify as crimes?

Now that the truth is slowly and painfully coming out, will anyone DO anything about it?

1. Who did we put in prison after the Spanish American War?
Or the Mexican American War? Or Vietnam?

2. Treason.
As for your second question, unfortunately the answer is only sometimes.

3. Someone has to have the courage to indict.
The People should be demanding justice, but we're only demanding cheap shit from Walmart.

4. Only if you lose the war and power
Otherwise, your fellow party members will spend millions of dollars naming things after you, once they retake power in the next cycle.


Iran/contra was treasonous on the part of the Reagan administration, and the repubs worship Ronnie to this day.

6. For starters, I'd say it qualifies as first degree murder.
It was pre-meditated, in fact about as pre-meditated as it gets, and death is never a surprise in war.

It really fucking bugs me that a lot of people in this country would consider what I just said as ridiculous hyperbole. HOW anyone could come to any other conclusion is...'just stupid' sounds lame but it's all I come up with now.

There's a pretty large group of people that should be charged with capital crimes. I guess I should prepare myself for being pissed of for the rest of my life, because I highly doubt anything like that will ever happen. These bastards will get away with it.

7. Treasonous Murderous Bastards-the ENTIRE * Cabal.
Congress is complicit. Many of us have been saying this for YEARS.

Don't expect Obama or Hillary to do a damn thing about it either. :puke:
