  • The Dangerous Sedition of Urging Military Disobedience Over Policy Disagreements

    The Dangerous Sedition of Urging Military Disobedience Over Policy Disagreements
    Nov 22 2025
    In a stunning display of partisan desperation, six Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds—Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)—released a video entitled “Don’t Give Up the Ship” on November 18th. In it, they directly addressed active-duty service members and intelligence personnel, reminding them of their oath to the Constitution and their duty to refuse “unlawful orders.”This came amid President Trump’s deployment of National Guard forces to quell violent crime in Democrat-run cities like Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and potentially others. President Trump rightly condemned this as “seditious behavior at the highest level,” labeling the lawmakers “traitors” whose actions endanger the chain of command and national stability.To wit: those who cloak their political opposition in faux concern for the Constitution while actively undermining civilian control of the military are the real threat to the Republic.To understand why this intervention is so pernicious, one must first grasp what constitutes a truly “unlawful order” under US military law. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and longstanding precedent make clear that service members are obligated to disobey orders that are manifestly illegal—that is, orders that clearly violate the Constitution, federal law, or the laws of war, where no reasonable person could believe them lawful. The Department of Defense Law of War Manual and court-martial precedents emphasize that the illegality must be patent and palpable. Classic examples include orders to commit war crimes, such as murdering unarmed civilians or prisoners.History provides sobering illustrations. The most infamous US case is the 1968 My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War, where Lieutenant William Calley ordered and participated in the slaughter of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese villagers. Calley’s defense—“I was only following orders”—was rejected; he was convicted of premeditated murder because the order to kill non-combatants was manifestly unlawful. The courts-martial of Calley and Captain Ernest Medina reaffirmed that “superior orders” is no defense to obvious crimes.Similarly, post-World War II Nuremberg Trials established that Nazi officers could not hide behind Hitler’s directives to exterminate Jews or execute prisoners—such orders were void ab initio. In American jurisprudence, cases like United States v. Keenan (1969) further solidified that an order to commit a serious crime against civilians carries no legitimacy. These are not gray-area policy disputes; they are blatant criminal acts.Sedition, by contrast, strikes at the heart of governmental authority without necessarily involving overt violence. Under 18 USC § 2384, seditious conspiracy occurs when two or more persons conspire to oppose by force the authority of the United States, to prevent or delay the execution of any law, or to seize federal property. Historical examples include the 1861 convictions of Confederate sympathizers who plotted to disrupt Union operations, the Puerto Rican nationalist attack on Blair House in 1950, and more contemporary instances where state and local officials in “sanctuary” jurisdictions have systematically refused to honor ICE detainers or cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, deliberately obstructing the execution of duly enacted immigration laws and releasing dangerous criminal aliens back into communities—actions that federal authorities have repeatedly condemned as endangering public safety and defying the Supremacy Clause.Treason is the gravest offense, narrowly defined in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The Framers deliberately made it difficult to prove, requiring two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.There have been fewer than 40 treason prosecutions in US history and even fewer convictions. Aaron Burr was acquitted in 1807 despite allegations of plotting to detach western territories. During World War II, the Rosenberg spy ring was convicted of espionage (not treason) for passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, while Tokyo Rose (Iva Toguri) was controversially convicted of treason for wartime broadcasts but later pardoned. The narrow definition exists precisely to prevent its weaponization in partisan fights.Herein lies the outrage: partisan political and ideological differences cannot form the basis for claiming an order is unlawful. Deploying federal forces to restore order in crime-ravaged cities—authorized under the Insurrection Act and other statutes—is a quintessential executive prerogative, not a war crime. Encouraging uniformed personnel to ...

  • Democratic Socialism's Electoral Spread Is The Stealthy March Of A Marxist-Progressive Color Revolution

    Democratic Socialism's Electoral Spread Is The Stealthy March Of A Marxist-Progressive Color Revolution
    Nov 18 2025
    In the dim corridors of American democracy, where the fluorescent hum of complacency once drowned out the whispers of subversion, a crimson specter now stirs. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), that self-anointed vanguard of “progress,” gleefully tout their latest electoral conquests as harbingers of a benevolent new dawn.Zohran Mamdani’s seismic victory in New York City, part of a coast-to-coast socialist surge that netted DSA-endorsed candidates a staggering 12 wins in the 2025 cycle—four in New York alone—has the far-Left champagne corks popping. Municipal upsets in Connecticut, where DSA acolytes like Hamden’s Abdul Osmanu clung to their council seats under the Democratic banner, only underscore the rot. Nationwide, these “sweeping victories” have ignited feverish op-eds hailing a “red sun rising” over the body politic.But peel back the veneer of these so-called triumphs, and what emerges is no mere ideological shift—it’s the meticulously orchestrated creep of a slow-motion color revolution, engineered by Marxist-Progressives hell-bent on dismantling the Republic from within. Forget the street theater of molotovs and barricades; this is revolution by ballot box and backroom deal, a Trojan horse of equity-speak and grievance politics that the complicit Democrat establishment—and let’s throw in the political opportunist RINOs—has not only failed to quarantine but actively abetted. The DSA isn’t reforming America; it’s recolonizing it, one “democratic” concession at a time.To grasp this insidious ploy, one must first demystify the Democratic Socialist facade. Deceptively couched as a “big tent” for millennials disillusioned with corporate greed, the DSA is little more than Marxism’s millennial makeover—Karl with a kale smoothie, Lenin lite for the latte-sipping set.Founded in 1982 amid the ashes of Cold War socialism’s global humiliations, it has ballooned to over 90,000 members by cynically co-opting the language of justice while peddling the same collectivist poison that starved millions in the 20th century. Their “successes”? A grotesque parody of electoral legitimacy.Recall Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 upset in New York’s 14th District, where she ousted a 10-term incumbent not on policy merit but through viral TikTok posts and astroturf outrage. Fast-forward to 2025, and Mamdani’s win is hailed as a masterclass in mobilizing “non-voters.” This was less about voter empowerment than demographic demagoguery—courting immigrant blocs—many enabled to vote illegally courtesy of New York State’s ridiculous voter registration laws—with promises of open borders and rent control that would bankrupt urban cores.In blue strongholds, DSA insurgents routinely knife moderate Democrats in primaries, turning safe seats into socialist beachheads. The Squad—Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and their rotating cast of Marxist radicals—now boasts a stranglehold on congressional committees, where they sabotage bipartisan deals with performative filibusters on “climate justice” and “reparations.”This isn’t organic populism; it’s the classic playbook of a color revolution, adapted for the American exceptionalism it despises. Traditional color uprisings, from Serbia’s Bulldozer Revolution to Ukraine’s Orange tide, relied on NGO- and government-agency-fueled youth mobilization and media psyops to topple autocrats.Here, the Marxist-Progressives have inverted the script: instead of foreign meddlers like George Soros (though his Open Society fingerprints are everywhere), it’s domestic infiltration via academia, unions, and Big Tech. Universities, bloated with tenure-track Trotskyites, churn out DSA foot soldiers—think the Young Democratic Socialists of America, whose ranks swelled post-2024 amid Trump’s shadow, registering “disenfranchised” youth to flood polls with anti-capitalist fervor.State-level wins, like DSA-backed legislators in California pushing for “universal basic income” that masks wealth redistribution as welfare, erode property rights under the guise of equity. Nationally, Bernie Sanders’ twice-failed presidential bids weren’t defeats but Trojan horses, injecting “Medicare for All” into the Democrat bloodstream and priming the pump for 2025’s municipal muggings.The complicity of the Democrat old guard—and the politically opportunistic apathy of the establishment Republican apparatus, so mired in their set ways they couldn’t recognize a color revolution if they were face-painted in it—is the revolution’s secret sauce; treacherous enablers who trade principles for power.Nancy Pelosi’s once-iron grip on the House frayed as she greenlit DSA firebrands into leadership roles, muttering platitudes about “diversity” while they gutted the party’s centrist soul. Joe Biden’s 2020 “Build Back Better” was less infrastructure than ideological surrender, laced with Green ...

  • How Marxism & Islamism Mirror Each Other in Their March Toward Domination of the West

    How Marxism & Islamism Mirror Each Other in Their March Toward Domination of the West
    Nov 10 2025
    In an era where the West sleepwalks toward its own undoing, it’s high time we peel back the veneer of “progressive” idealism and “spiritual” piety to reveal the grotesque underbelly of two ideologies that have poisoned the 20th Century and now conspire to devour the 21st. Marxism and Islamism—those seductive sirens of collectivist utopia and divine absolutism—aren’t distant cousins; they’re identical twins, suckled on the same venomous teat of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Both promise paradise on earth (or in the afterlife, for the theocratic flavor), but deliver only chains, gulags, and graveyards. To ignore their eerie parallels is not just naive; it’s suicidal.Let’s dissect this unholy symbiosis, layer by bloody layer, and arm ourselves with the unflinching truth before it’s too late.At their core, both ideologies are rotten with the delusion of infallibility, a god-complex that brooks no contradiction. Marxism, that bastard child of Hegelian dialectics and proletarian envy, posits history as an inexorable march toward communist bliss, where the vanguard party—self-appointed shepherds of the masses—holds the divine right to purge dissenters. Karl Marx himself, in his fevered scribblings, envisioned a classless society forged in the fires of revolution, but what emerged was the iron fist of Lenin and Stalin, who understood that utopia demands uniformity.Dissent? A counter-revolutionary sin, punishable by Siberian exile or a bullet to the brain. Fast-forward to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, where millions were “re-educated” through terror, their thoughts dissected like lab rats to ensure alignment with the Party line.Islamism, the politicized perversion of a faith that once sparked enlightenment, mirrors this with chilling precision. Drawing from the Quran’s unyielding commands and Muhammad’s Medina playbook—where opposition meant exile or execution—modern Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sayyid Qutb recast jihad as a total societal overhaul. Sharia isn’t mere law; it’s a totalitarian blueprint, infiltrating every crevice of life from diet to doctrine.Apostasy? Blasphemy? These are Marxism’s “bourgeois deviations” rebranded as kufr, warranting fatwas, floggings, or beheadings. Iran’s ayatollahs, those smirking mullahs in saffron robes, enforce this with the same zeal as Soviet commissars, jailing poets for “insulting Islam” while their youth rot in Evin Prison’s digital panopticon.Both systems worship the collective over the soul: the ummah for Islamists, the proletariat for Marxists. Individual rights? Laughable relics of bourgeois decadence, to be trampled under the boot of “greater good.”Economically, their authoritarian strangleholds are Frankenstein’s monsters stitched from control and coercion. Marxism’s central planning—those five-year mirages of abundance—starved Ukraine in the Holodomor and choked China’s Great Leap Forward into a famine that devoured 45 million lives. Private property is the opiate of the exploiters, seized by the state to “liberate” the workers, who end up serfs on collective farms. Islamism, no less rapacious, invokes zakat and usury bans not for charity but to funnel wealth into clerical and jihadist coffers. Saudi Wahhabism funds madrasas that churn out suicide bombers, while Hamas’s Gaza fiefdom diverts aid into tunnel-building ant-farms of terror.Both disdain free markets as satanic temptations: Marxism decries capitalism’s “alienation,” Islamism rails against riba-fueled “decadence.” The result? Stagnant economies where innovation withers under fat bureaucratic thumbs, and the masses subsist on propaganda rations of resentment.Propaganda, ah, the lifeblood of these leviathans. Both wield narrative as a weapon sharper than any scimitar or sickle. Marxist regimes mastered the art with Pravda’s fairy tales and Hollywood’s unwitting echoes in “progressive” agitprop, rewriting history to saint Stalin while airbrushing Trotsky from photos. Islamism counters with dawah’s honeyed lies and Al Jazeera’s slick spins, portraying burqa-clad oppression as “empowerment” and suicide bombings as “resistance.”Taqiyya—deceptive piety—dovetails with Marxist “united fronts,” where Islamists cozy up to Western Leftists, feigning victimhood to mask their supremacist snarls. Schools in both spheres indoctrinate from cradle to caliphate: Soviet youth pledged allegiance to Lenin, while Islamist hafezs memorize surahs that glorify conquest. Critical thinking? A virus to be vaccinated against with mindless recitations and reified rage.Their totalitarian tentacles extend to the family, the arts, even the bedroom—nothing escapes the gaze of the Great Leader or the All-Seeing Allah-as-enforced-by-man. Marxism’s “new socialist man” demanded gender quotas that masked the erasure of womanhood, as seen in East Germany’s Stasi-monitored nurseries. Islamism’s ...
