Treasonous warmongers and statist parasites get caught doing their dirty deeds...and so accuse their accusers of treason!

From:
If This Be Treason...

but, of course, it isn’t
(AntiWar.com) -- by Thomas Knapp --

Julian Assange isn’t an American citizen. Wikileaks isn’t an American organization. Even if we accept the logic of state, neither Assange nor Wikileaks owe any duty of loyalty to the US government. Where no loyalty is due, no betrayal is possible. Whatever else they might be, the Wikileaks "dumps" of information deemed "classified" by the US government aren’t "treason" (as the usual suspects keep calling them) by any reasonable definition of that word.

Nor, contra US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s surreal claim, is the latest Wikileaks release "an attack on the international community." If such a "community" exists, identifying it with the parasite states sitting atop its regional populations is like designating canine breeds on the basis of the ticks which infest each dog’s fur.

And talk about the pot calling the kettle black! It was Clinton, not Assange, who directed US State Department employees to spy on United Nations officials — including but not limited to permanent members of the UN Security Council and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon himself — in what looks an awful lot like an identity theft scheme right out of the latest crime news headlines. If the UN’s member states do indeed compose the "international community," Clinton has cast herself in the role of neighborhood burglar.

But, if this be treason, make the most of it.

The penchant of state actors for secrecy stems from the same motives as any other criminal’s desire to keep his deeds out of the public eye. Their threats against those who might reveal their secrets are of precisely the same nature as the warnings of any child rapist to his victims: "Don’t tell, or YOU will get in trouble."...MORE...LINK
