Steve Kubby was a candidate for the Libertarian Presidential nomination in 2008, and the runner up for the party’s VP nomination in 2008 and 2000. He was also the party’s candidate for Governor of California in 1998. He is currently working on a new business venture in the medical field. Disclosure: I worked on his presidential campaign.
The Law and those who enforce the Law, have made a fundamental, immoral, illegal and unconstitutional shift in their Rules of Engagement. As a medical cannabis activist, my colleagues and I are the first to be see and feel the boots of those who are intent on hijacking the Law to suit their own evil purposes. Here is what we see.
Under the Constitution and Bill of Rights in the US and the Charter of Rights in Canada, the Law is intended to provide a SHIELD, to protect the rights and welfare of citizens from those who would abuse those rights and those citizens through force or fraud.
However, the Police, Prosecutors and Judges, have betrayed the trust placed in them, subverted the Law, and turned their dreary, moronic rules and regulations into a SWORD, intended to harm, not protect the citizens they are supposed to serve.
Those responsible for these crimes against their fellow citizens, are traitors, by the very definition provided by the US Constitution, Article 3, Section 3: “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 penalty for treason is usually death: “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
(Cite: 8 USC 2381 – Sec. 2381. Treason, 18 USC – U.S. Code – Title 18: Crimes and Criminal Procedure, January 2004)
When our the Police, Prosecutors and Judges, have betrayed the trust placed in them, when they wage a “War on Drugs” that is used as an excuse to jail more people and more minorities than any other country in the world, or in history, then we have Traitors and our security is more threatened than any criminal act by terrorists.
These same Police, Prosecutors and Judges have violated their oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution, and now openly violate and abuse the very laws that give them their power to begin with.
When they protected us, our Police, Prosecutors and Judges deserved our trust and respect. But now that these public serpents, have betrayed our trust and openly wage an illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and Treasonous war against us, they are the Enemy of all freedom loving people and only a real and genuine revolution will right the wrongs of such a corrupt and evil society.
As freedom loving, peaceful people, we abhor violence, but there is no avoiding the blood fight that lies ahead. When the Law becomes a Sword, instead of a Shield, honest men will take up arms to defend their rights, their families and their way of life. As difficult and painful as it is to admit it, Thomas Jefferson said it best:
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

I agree completely with Steve. The authoritarians among the police, judges, prosecutors, and bureau-rats do not wish to recognise the 10th Amendment power of the states to take a different policy with regard to marijuana. They do not accept the right to possess and smoke marijuana, clearly established by the historical facts of 18th Century settlers possessing and smoking it (including George Washington), and also clearly established by the 9th Amendment.
The war on drugs is a war on the American people. The war on terror as it is implemented today is a war on the American people. The war on money laundering is a war on the American people.
As Steve notes, these wars are treason. Little wonder that the war on drugs was described in those words first by the neo-conservative Republican president Nixon, who engaged in so many other acts of frank treason. Nixon should have been tried for treason, found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, and executed. His subordinates who either committed treason should have been tried and executed, or if they only performed acts accessory to treason, should have been tried and convicted of felonies, and been ineligible to hold federal office. I am speaking in particular of Cheney, Rumsfeld, GHW Bush, etc. Nixon’s White House was a festering swamp of perversion, corruption, and treason. The surviving members of that administration should still be tried for treason and related crimes.
The same is true of Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush the younger. Making war on the constitution and making war on the American people are undoubtedly making war on the United States. And the wars have gone on long enough.
Stop the wars. Execute the traitors.

As one patriot in exile, I have good news to report.
Most people like most Americans, and pray for
Change. Tides turn. Good Prevails. Evil Flees.
Wars are bad for business, worse for education.
Greet great Policy- not bad police-y.
The World believes that- YES, YOU CAN!
Change- The God of Love outshines darkness.

Good article by Kubby.
“Nixon should have been tried for treason, found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, and executed.”
You serious? This is probably the first time I’ve seen a self-professed libertarian support executing people for treason. Execution for murder I’ve seen before… but execution for treason against the State? Wow.
I would hope that’s not what you meant…

darolew,
It seems that some “libertarians” will look for any excuse to gleefully spill the blood of their enemies. It reminds me of when Phillies said repeatedly during one of his speeches at the Convention that the way to deal with statists (or at least the ones he disagreed with) was to “lock them up and throw away the key”. He punctuated this claim by pounding his fist like Hitler. Worse yet, this drew considerable applause.
Personally, I want no part of this vindictive, bloodthirsty version of libertarianism. Unfortunately, there are situations in which using violence or incarceration may be necessary to defend oneself, or to punish evil. That doesn’t mean, however, that we should relish these situations, or seek them out.

I fail to see how locking up and throwing away the key on statist who betray the republic is “bloodthirsty”. It’s more like “Justice”.
And I don’t see libertarians looking “for any excuse to gleefully spill the blood of their enemies.” History has given us plenty of excuse already! Considering that the WoD and the resultant persecution and prosecution of Kubby are Nixon’s fault, I don’t blame him for that attitude one bit. The WoD is a War on Freedom, one of many the gummint wages daily against We the People.

It’s only “justice” if you believe that the “republic” is something worth defending.
I wasn’t criticizing Kubby. I was responding to Jim Davidson, who suggested that Nixon should be executed for the crime of “treason”, i.e. for betraying the State. I, on the contrary, believe that people should be rewarded, rather than punished, for betraying the State. That doesn’t mean that I forgive Nixon for any of his other numerous sins, many of which undoubtedly deserve punishment. But “treason”? No way.
As for the part about “locking them up and throwing away the key”, that was a reference to Mr. Phillies’ apparent belief that if someone disagrees with his politics, they deserve to be incarcerated. If we adopted that standard, I would no doubt be one of the first ones that was hauled off to jail.

The laws don’t matter anymore, because the left-wing illuminati are going to re-write everything.
