The executive branch coup against America has succeeded. The American people have suffered a coup d’etat, but they are hesitant to acknowledge it. The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy. Americans are ruled by usurpers who claim that the executive branch is above the law and that the US Constitution is a mere “scrap of paper.”
An unconstitutional government is an illegitimate government. The oath of allegiance requires defense of the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” As the Founding Fathers made clear, the main enemy of the Constitution is the government itself. Power does not like to be bound and tied down and constantly works to free itself from constraints.
The basis of the regime in Washington is nothing but usurped power. The Obama Regime, like the Bush/Cheney Regime, has no legitimacy. Americans are oppressed by an illegitimate government ruling, not by law and the Constitution, but by lies and naked force. Those in government see the US Constitution as a “chain that binds our hands.”
The South African apartheid regime was more legitimate than the regime in Washington. The apartheid Israeli regime in Palestine is more legitimate. The Taliban are more legitimate. Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were more legitimate.
The only constitutional protection that the Bush/Obama regime has left standing is the Second Amendment, a meaningless amendment considering the disparity in arms between Washington and what is permitted to the citizenry. No citizen standing with a rifle can protect himself and his family from one of the Department of Homeland Security’s 2,700 tanks, or from a drone, or from a heavily armed SWAT force in body armor.
Like serfs in the dark ages, American citizens can be picked up on the authority of some unknown person in the executive branch and thrown in a dungeon, subject to torture, without any evidence ever being presented to a court or any information to the person’s relatives of his/her whereabouts. Or they can be placed on a list without explanation that curtails their right to travel by air. Every communication of every American, except face-to-face conversation in non-bugged environments, is intercepted and recorded by the National Stasi Agency from which phrases can be strung together to produce a “domestic extremist.”
If throwing an American citizen in a dungeon is too much trouble, the citizen can simply be blown up with a hellfire missile launched from a drone. No explanation is necessary. For the Obama tyrant, the exterminated human being was just a name on a list.
The president of the united states has declared that he possesses these constitutionally forbidden rights, and his regime has used them to oppress and murder US citizens. The president’s claim that his will is higher than law and the Constitution is public knowledge. Yet, there is no demand for the usurper’s impeachment. Congress is supine. The serfs are obedient.
The people who helped transform a democratically accountable president into a Caesar include John Yoo, who was rewarded for his treason by being accepted as a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt school of law. Yoo’s colleague in treason, Jay Scott Bybee was rewarded by being appointed a federal judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We now have a Berkeley law professor teaching, and a federal circuit judge ruling, that the executive branch is above the law.
The executive branch coup against America has succeeded. The question is: will it stand? Today, the executive branch consists of liars, criminals, and traitors. The evil on earth seems concentrated in Washington.
Washington’s response to Edward Snowden’s evidence that Washington, in total contravention of law both domestic and international, is spying on the entire world has demonstrated to every country that Washington places the pleasure of revenge above law and human rights.
On Washington’s orders, its European puppet states refused overflight permission to the Bolivian presidential airliner carrying President Morales and forced the airliner to land in Austria and be searched. Washington thought that Edward Snowden might be aboard the airliner. Capturing Snowden was more important to Washington than respect for international law and diplomatic immunity.
How long before Washington orders its UK puppet to send in a SWAT team to drag Julian Assange from the Ecuadoran embassy in London and hand him over to the CIA for waterboarding?
On July 12 Snowden met in the Moscow airport with human rights organizations from around the world. He stated that the illegal exercise of power by Washington prevents him from traveling to any of the three Latin American countries who have offered him asylum. Therefore, Snowden said that he accepted Russian President Putin’s conditions and requested asylum in Russia.
Insouciant americans and the young unaware of the past don’t know what this means. During my professional life it was Soviet Russia that persecuted truth tellers, while America gave them asylum and tried to protect them. Today it is Washington that persecutes those who speak the truth, and it is Russia that protects them.
The American public has not, this time, fallen for Washington’s lie that Snowden is a traitor. The polls show that a majority of Americans see Snowden as a whistleblower. It is not the US that is damaged by Snowden’s revelations. It is the criminal elements in the US government that have pulled off a coup against democracy, the Constitution, and the American people who are damaged. It is the criminals who have seized power, not the American people, who are demanding Snowden’s scalp.
The Obama Regime, like the Bush/Cheney Regime, has no legitimacy. Americans are oppressed by an illegitimate government ruling, not by law and the Constitution, but by lies and naked force.
Under the Obama tyranny, it is not merely Snowden who is targeted for extermination, but every truth-telling American in the country. It was Department of Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano, recently rewarded for her service to tyranny by being appointed Chancellor of the of the University of California system, who said that Homeland Security had shifted its focus from Muslim terrorists to “domestic extremists,” an elastic and undefined term that easily includes truth-tellers like Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden who embarrass the government by revealing its crimes. The criminals who have seized illegitimate power in Washington cannot survive unless truth can be suppressed or redefined as treason.
If Americans acquiesce to the coup d’etat, they will have placed themselves firmly in the grip of tyranny.

Hang on FReepers!
We are in for a rough ride!
The question is, what are the rest of us, the patriots and the veterans, going to do about it?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Ping for reply from Dr Paul
Roberts is a nut of the first order.
the IRS continues to oppress conservative groups and conservative individuals
they are trying to pass a country destroying Amnesty bill in Congress. most low info voters are not even aware of this action by Congress as the media hidden these things and other crimes of Obama. the media has proclaimed we puppets must concentrate on Trayvon 24/7 , Adam lanza, kim kardashian , sports , hollywood etc. and even on here most obey the media brainwashing focusing on trayvon 24/7.
what happened to the BP oil “catastrophe” (I'm on the coast and i can tell you it was all media lies). what happened to global warming? we live in the media matrix. here i was berated because i dared to tell them the BP oil “disaster” wasn't a disaster . now where is it?
That said, when he speaks, people ought to listen...particularly on the fact that Obama is leading a coup.
If only our military would do for us what the military in Egypt has done for that country.
Message to the U.S. military..."put the Kenyan SOB under house arrest." "And pick up that NAZI George Soros while you're at it."
Name one point he made in this article that is not true.
PCR is a traitorous lunatic. He wouldn’t know the Constitution if James Madison came back to life and read it to him.
We should use the nonviolent means of Article V that our framing generation gave us.
Roberts is a nut of the first order.
Those who bury their head in the sand usually get shot in the A$$.
I think we are in the 8th inning. I expect an economic crash in cascades here within a couple years.
The bahstids knew the housing market would crash in 2008 and these clowns gave it a little shove to make GW Bush take the fall (not that he did not deserve some blame). I speculate that these scoundrels are doing the same thing.
Maybe, IDK. I do know I can’t find anything to disagree with in the posted article.
BUMP!
I think we are in the 8th inning. I expect an economic crash in cascades here within a couple years.
Could be sooner.
So you think the Bush presidency was worse than Saddam Hussein and the Taliban governments?
He said Bush and Cheney were worse than Saddam Hussein and the Taliban. Among other things. Roberts is seriously deranged.
The part about the illegitimacy of the Bush/Cheney regime sounds a little loopy but all the rest of it I agree with.
The article, while on the right track, sounds a little suspect. Not written as responsibly as I would expect from an editor of the WSJ etc.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.........
If you are referring to this:
The South African apartheid regime was more legitimate than the regime in Washington. The apartheid Israeli regime in Palestine is more legitimate. The Taliban are more legitimate. Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were more legitimate...
Notice the phrase "regime in Washington". To me, that refers to the current regime, King Zero.
I voted for W both times, but I think he could have done a much better job. He's a good man, just not really Presidential material.
But, no, I (obviously, as I'm not a liberal) do not think Bush was worse than the Iraqi regime or the Taliban.
