Tyranny or Treason

US Flag and Constitution of the United States of AmericaWhat I am about to discuss may offend some, that is not my intent. My intent is to encourage people to open their eyes and begin to move in a positive direction. Individuals with conservative ideas have officially been labeled as “terrorists”, “anarchists”, “those who truly wish to ruin the United States.” The individuals making these allegations are the POTUS himself, Senator Reid,  Congresswoman Pelosi and others. It is evident by their actions through the past six years as long as they are given what they demand, individuals who express conservative views are simply “Tea- Partiers.” Let those with conservative view points draw a line or place a boundary and they become terrorists.

Understanding the aforementioned individuals have the right under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to freedom of speech, these individuals are also aware of the derogatory reflection it makes when these things are said in the presence of the Media. Of course they do, this is one of the reasons these individuals and their underlings have attempted to thwart all efforts by individuals and families of those affected by their unwise, treasonous activities which resulted in many honorable service men dying. The people of these United States have a right to know the truth. Here are the inevitable, ancient, unanswerable questions, “But what is TRUTH?” “Are mine the same as yours?”

Let’s look at additional questions though at this point these questions are not being answered. . . .

  • Who is the individual who has approved the illegal sale of weapons to the Mexican Cartels from the arsenals of the United States Government and attempted to do it Secretly! (Fast and Furious)?
  • Who is the individual playing cards while DEVGRU was eliminating a threat to the United States then had his underlings “leak” the names of those involved in the “Mission” to the Taliban and/or Al Qaeda?
  • Who then approved the arrangement for a “blow and go” mission for those individuals in Afghanistan and blew the helicopter out of the sky after DEVGRU was sent there with no protection which is NOT Standard Operating Procedure? (Extortion 17)
  • Who was the individual that approved giving 20 F-16 fighters to Egypt while it was a Sharia Law state?
  • Who was partying in Las Vegas (with instructions not to ‘be bothered’) when distress calls were repeatedly made from the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya and US military assets where told to “hold” (oh lets not use the Stand Down phrase) all the while individuals were watching via drone placement as at least four United States Citizens were brutally tortured and eventually viciously killed?
  • Who is the individual that populated White House staff with KNOWN Terrorists and those who support the Muslim Brotherhood a KNOWN TERRORIST Organization?
  • Who approved the signing of the United Nations International Arms Trade Treaty directly in violations of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States?
  • Who made the decision to “sell the national debt” to the People’s Republic of China, a well established communist government?

Now, let’s look at some passages from the Constitution of the United States:

  • Article. II. – The Executive Branch
  • Section 1 – The President
  • No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
  • The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.
  •  Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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.”
  • Section 4 – Disqualification
  • The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
  • Article III. – The Judicial Branch
  • Section 3 – Treason
  • Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
  • No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
  • The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

This writer understands she is not alone in asking these questions nor in seeking the answers to them. This writer would venture to say a great majority of the populace of the United States and the Countries of the World are asking these same questions. These United States have lost face. She has become the laughing stock of the International Community, primarily due the actions of the current administration. Information received from a personally know and valued reliable confidential individual states “the general population of Great Britain believes America is a JOKE!” A JOKE ladies and gentleman! Are we as a nation willing to stand by and allow other nations who have been our allies in various conflicts from World Wars to the current battles in Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East to believe our nation is a JOKE? I would hope not . . . I would pray to God, NOT! WE THE PEOPLE are responsible adults. Many of our fathers, grandfathers, sons, uncles, brothers, nephews, and friends have paid the ultimate price for our nation. Are we willing to allow them to sacrifice their lives for NOUGHT? Please say NAY! NO, NOT IN THIS LIFETIME! There must be a plan! There is definitely a purpose, to retrieve what is left of our REPUBLIC, to honor her and her people through withstanding the tyranny attempting to overtake us. ARISE America, ARISE! Your country calls to you for help. She pleads to those who love and respect all she has given and all she is to each of us along with thousands throughout the world, the only place where individuals have an opportunity to live free. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9 KJV)  “. . . all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.” Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:13-16 NASB)

Have We Forgotten Our Heroes? Chapter 22 – Roy Boehm

Boehm3_737878903LCDR Roy H. Boehm was born in Brooklyn New York. Boehm enlisted in the Navy in April 1941 at the age of seventeen and saw action in the Pacific theater of operation during WWII from February 1942 until the conclusion of the war in 1945. He participated in recovery of corpses and munitions from the USS Arizona while his ship, the USS Duncan, was being repaired and refitted at Pearl Harbor. He is a survivor of one of the largest “all surface” sea engagements of World War II, the Battle of Cape Esperance at Guadalcanal. Boehm was serving on the destroyer Duncan (DD 485) when the ship received fifty-eight 6″ and 8″ shell hits at point-blank range before going down. He saved a teammate from burning to death by jumping in the ocean and later he had to fight off sharks which eventually killed the sailor he saved. Boehm also participated in the following campaigns and engagements: Battle of the Coral Sea, Bouganville, Truk, Green Island, Emeru, Saipan, Tinian, and Guam. He was engaged in supplying ammunitions to the guerrillas in the Philippines and saw action in Kerama Reto and Okinawa. LCDR Boehm also saw action in the Korean conflict and the war in Vietnam.

While serving in the US Navy, Boehm attained the following qualifications: unlimited deep-sea diving, deep submergence rescue chamber operator for submarine rescue, experimental diving, and salvage diving. He is a qualified Underwater Demolition Expert, and was test pilot for underwater swimmer propulsion units. Boehm is a graduate of Airborne and Ranger Training. In early 1961, under a Presidential Two priority received from President John F Kennedy, Boehm developed, designed, implemented, and led the Navy’s commando organization known as the SEALs. He was the first Officer in Charge (OIC) of SEAL Team Two.

Boehm assisted in the design and implementation of the Navy’s first counterinsurgency course, for which he received the Navy Achievement Medal. Following this, he was named head of the Navy’s River Patrol Craft Division. There he developed tactical procedures, organized, and trained River Patrol Boat sailors for Operation Gamewarden in Vietnam.

LCDR Roy Boehm is authorized to wear the following medals and awards: Bronze Star with combat “V”, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Navy Achievement Medal, Navy Presidential Unit Citation (1942), Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation (1967), Navy Good Conduct Medal with 3 Stars, China Service Medal, American Defense Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal w/1 Silver Star/1 Bronze Star/ 1 Arrow Head, Victory Medal WW II, WWII Occupation Medal Navy, National Defense Service Medal with 1 Bronze Star, Korean Service Medal w/2 Bronze Stars, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, US Vietnam Service Medal, Philippines Presidential Unit Citation, Korean Presidential Unit Citation, Philippine Liberation Medal, United Nations Korean Medal, United Nations Medal, RVHJ Campaign Medal with Date, USN Expert Rifle Medal, USN Expert Pistol Medal.

Roy Boehm passed away at the age of 84 on December 30, 2008. Roy’s last wish, that his death not be publicized. He wanted no obituary, no funeral service and no fanfare over his death. Boehm was most proud of a plaque mounted on his wall: “Roy Boehm, Man-O-Warsman.” That honor was bestowed on him by the men who served under his command. “It’s the highest compliment you can get,” Boehm had said.First SEAL by Roy Boehm

LCDR Roy Boehm is frequently mentioned in Richard Marcinko’s books. Boehm can be seen in the video program “The Tides Of Specwar”. Roy Boehm and Chuck Sasser have written Roy’s autobiography. “FIRST SEAL” is published by Simon & Schuster’s Pocket Books division. It is one of the best autobiographies I have ever read. It was a pleasure to read and was written so one could visualize the actions while reading.
