TREASON -- 21ST CENTURY STYLE

Treason -- the act of selling out one's country. This is my definition, not that of a dictionary or resource publication. Treason is antonymic to patriotism.

The events of recent years have revealed a new type of treason. Whereas in past centuries acts of treason were more conventional and fit the conventional definition, acts of treason today are more sophisticated, suttle and much more difficult to detect. Blatant actions which reveal themselves as offensive to a national entity are easier to control and prevent. But little, suttle, piecemeal gestures which are part of a long and suttle crusade to destroy a naton are often hidden in the fabric of legitimate state acts. This, then, represents a continuing threat to a nation's future. While a clear and present danger might not be apparent, the possibility of future degradation of, and efforts to reach the goal by conquering that nation's assets, resources and holdings, and indeed subverting the nation itself, pose a critical threat to that nation's future.

In today's America, we must redefine the meaning of treason. Yes, the word means everything it has always meant but in the 21st Century the word has to mean more. In the 21st Century the word treason must take on the nuances of risks encountered as a result of momentous advancements in travel, communications, document transmission, money and funds transmission and many other scientific and technological advancements.

We have entered an era in which those obsessed with the "one world" culture are willing to bring a nation to its knees in order to make it accept their ideas. This is treason 21st Century style. There are those who are already seeking to make patriotism a negative concept. They would accuse people who demonstrate admiration for, and loyalty to, their country of being fanatic and out of touch with present-day reality. Americans must stand up to these traitors. There are those who ship America's assets, both financial and military (plus other assets) to foreign countries and care less about the well-being of America and Americans. These are traitors. Their acts are treasonous. They may be holding high governmental positions and may be receiving big salaries, but their acts are treasonous. When government operatives ship our military hardware around the world, leave critical stateside units without spare parts and leave America vulnerable to attack and possible capture from adversarial forces, the acts of those leaders are treasonous. This is why the definition of treason must change to catch up with the realities of the 21st Century.

Configuring a nation from within so as to bring about its future demise is treason. A suttle crusade to this end appears to be afoot in America. If patriotic Americans don't wake up, get involved and get in leadership positions in this country, America's premature demise may very well be on the horizion.

As for me, I love this country and I love the God in whom its money says we trust. Therefore, I shout, "God Bless America".
