Has President Trump Committed High Treason?

58

by Paul Craig Roberts

Let’s examine the case.

In the oath of office taken in the swearing in of a president, the about-to-be-president swears allegiance to the U.S. Constitution and promises to defend it against enemies at home and abroad. In other words, enemies of the Constitution are enemies of the United States. (Today the Constitution’s enemies  includes  university law schools in the United States.)

If you asked what is the United States, some would say it is an idea; others would say it is a geographical territory. But these definitions apply to all countries and thus define none. The correct answer is that the United States is the Constitution.

The Constitution defines the form of government, the powers of the various branches, the distribution of powers between state governments and the federal government, the rights of citizens and the protection of those rights, and it defines the process of changing the Constitution, that is, of changing the United States. Without the Constitution the United States would be a different country.

It is not an election that makes a person the president. It is the person’s vow to defend the United States by defending the Constitution. If an elected president refused the vow at the swearing in ceremony, he could not be confirmed in office as president. When a president-to-be swears an oath to the Constitution he swears an oath to the United States.

The most important parts of the Constitution are the Amendments, the Bill of Rights that had to be incorporated into the Constitution in order to gain its acceptance by all of the founding states. The Bill of Rights protects the citizens from government limiting their rights and committing violence or retribution against them for actions protected by the Constitution.

LINK TO THE ARTICLE

The principle right is free speech. It is the First Amendment, because without free speech it is impossible for citizens to hold government accountable for violation of the other protections from, and limits on, government power.

Trump’s affinity for Zionist Israel has led him into an act that violates his oath of office and possibly caused him to commit high treason against the United States.

Trump has created by executive order what in effect is a Sedition Act for Israel that prohibits United States citizens from using their First Amendment right to criticize Israel for the genocide of Palestine, the rape and torture of Palestinian prisoners, the destruction of Palestinian homes, villages, and olive groves by Israeli settlers who blatantly steal Palestinian land, assassinations of foreign leaders, undue influence over the U.S. legislative and executive branches, state governments, media, finance, and education, and wars of aggression against Middle Eastern countries. U.S. critics of Israel are not even permitted to complain about the Jewish Anti-defamation League’s slander, libel and defamation of them. For an American to complain of being defamed by Zionists is to risk punishment for anti-semitism.

To state it plainly, Trump and his acting attorney general have given priority to protecting Israel, a foreign government, over the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens. Clearly, this means that Trump and his accommodating acting attorney general are serving a foreign interest by suspending without any right or authority to do so, the First Amendment rights guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.

This puts Trump at odds with his vow to protect the U.S. Constitution and invalidates his swearing-in as president of the United States. Trump has issued an edict that his obliging attorney general has accepted that subordinates the U.S. Constitution to Israel.

On May 19, the acting Attorney General of the United States issued this statement:

“President Trump has made clear that this administration will not tolerate antisemitism [defined as any criticism of Israel and Jews], and the Department of Justice is committed to implement that directive. This national tour is an important step in ensuring communities across the country know the federal government stands ready to work with them to confront antisemitic threats, protect public safety, and uphold civil rights.”

Notice that according to Trump’s attorney general “upholding civil rights” means deep-sixing the First Amendment that protects U. S. Citizens’ free speach rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

As Trump and his attorney general have come out against the First Amendment, they have come out against the US Constiution and, thereby, against the United States. In other words, both seem to be guilty of high treason.

For Trump and his attorney general to rule for Israel against  American citizen’s First Amendment rights and the US Constitution that protects these rights calls into question who Trump and his attorney general represent.

It seems certain the President Trump’s willingness to sacrifice the U.S. Constitution to protecting Israel from words of criticism indicates that he has committed high treason  in order to serve foreign interests, which would seem to make Trump an enemy of the U.S. Constitution and thereby an enemy of the United States.

If my reasoning is correct, why shouldn’t President Trump be arrested and put on trial for high treason against the United States?

Why did not Trump’s acting attorney general, who happens to be Trump’s personal defense attorney, warn Trump that he was stepping onto treasonous ground? Is a person who aids and abets the president in the possible commission of high treason fit to be attorney general of the United States?

          • Australia does not own its money supply – the RBA, therefore it is not a sovereign country. Politicians re-present the money power, not the Australian people. Continual immigration of tax payers is needed to keep up with the RBA’s interest bill.

            BANKS CONTROL GOVERNMENTS

            “I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire*, and I control the British money supply.” – Nathan Mayer Rothschild

            Whoever controls credit, controls policy, and with it, power over and above the heads of Government. ( The ABC of Social Credit , page 25, by E.S. Holter; Heritage Bookshops).

            Richard McKenna, former president of the Midlands Bank of England said, “Those that create and issue the money and credit, direct the policies of Government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people” ( NDCC , page 41).

            Once a Government is in debt to the bankers it is at their mercy. A frightening example of this was cited by the London Financial Times in 1921, which revealed that … “Half a dozen men at the top of The Big Five Banks could upset the whole fabric of Government finance by refraining from renewing Treasury Bills.” ( NDCC , page 41).

            The RBA which issues Australian money as an interest bearing debt is a foreign owned corporation and is not a documented part of the Australian government – neither is the ATO.

            Section 44 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 – says

            “Any person who:

            is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power; or

            is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer; or

            is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent; or

            holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth: or

            has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty-five persons;

            shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives…………………….”

          • The story of the Commonwealth Bank

            “………………This is the sad story of a dream destroyed buy the venal greed of the politicians and the international banksters:
            The Commonwealth Bank — originally The Peoples’ BankThe Commonwealth Bank — originally The Peoples’ Bank

            In October, 1911, the Labor Government of Mr. Andrew Fisher introduced a Bill to provide for the establishment of a Commonwealth Bank with power to carry on all the business generally transacted by banks, including that of a savings bank. It was to be administered under the control of one man (called the Governor of the Bank), appointed for seven years. The Bank was to have power to raise a capital of $2 million by the sale of debentures. (This paragraph and other parts of this post are courtesy of http://www.queenofthesouth.net/articles.html)

            In 1914 the Commonwealth bank began financing primary producers, ushering in the golden age of our country. “Riding on the sheep’s back” it was called. The money the bank raised helped finance the government to pursue WW1. The Governor boasted that it could have easily financed two such wars, the bank of the people was so solvent.

            Up until 1924 the Commonwealth bank financed businesses, home buyers, manufacturers, primary producers, and in the process created a vibrant and rich economy. The profits the bank made were ploughed back into the economy to enrich it even further.

            Throughout this period the private banks enjoyed a cordial relationship with the Commonwealth bank. In 1924 the Director of the Commonwealth bank, Sir Denison Miller died. With him removed from the scene the Bruce-Page Administration brought in a Bill to amend the Commonwealth Bank Act by taking the control of the Commonwealth Bank out of the hands of the new Governor and placing it in the hands of a directorate, composed ( in addition to the Governor of the Bank and the Secretary of the Treasury) of a body of financial magnates. This is….

  3. The Trump Administration Goes Full Speed Pro-Israel

    May 27, 2026 — If Donald Trump seriously wants a second career after he destroys the United States and a large part of the world he would be well advised to consider becoming a stand-up comedian. He already possesses a huge supply of jokes consisting of his off-the-wall ad-libs when responding to reporters and the public. Most of his remarks that are not out-and-out lies are insulting and/or incoherent and would in any event be better considered as humorous observations on the deplorable state of politics in America than as serious commentary coming from a respected head of state.

    Nevertheless, within The Donald’s occasionally semi-functional brain there may exist some sense that he is president to serve the American people and the nation, even if that feeling does not last long and is essentially phony. Time’s Goy Slave of the Year. Full story: globalresearch.ca

  4. “Apathy brought us here. Awareness can get us out.

    We can point fingers at politicians or rogue states until our arms are weary, but ultimately it is the apathy of the masses that has brought us to this precipice. We are witnessing the hollow irony of “never again” crumbling into dust as history repeats its darkest chapters, forcing us to confront the fact that we are living through the very horror we promised would never return. Our collective numbness is a heavy, rusted iron vault sealing shut over the conscience of the West. Hannah Arendt said “The death of human empathy is one of the earliest most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism”.

    Right now, the world is witnessing an unprecedented high tech machinery of destruction, with Gaza reduced to a landscape of scorched earth and pulverized concrete, while the fires of conflict roar into Lebanon and threaten to consume Iran. This is not some distant tragedy; it is a cascading, violent assault on human existence, where the systematic eradication of bloodlines in Gaza is matched by expanding regional bombardment that treats human life as mere collateral in an imperial power play. The first genocide streamed in 4K, where high-definition clarity only highlights the moral bankruptcy of the audience watching it happen in real-time.

    The comfort of living in a happy little ignorant bubble – as most people sadly do – is paid for by the blood of innocent men, women and children.

    Ignoring geopolitics doesn’t make you enlightened, or happy-go-lucky; it simply makes us compliant, heavily sedated passengers on the American/Israeli imperial death drive. When we tune out, the war machine doesn’t stop – it just operates with less friction, feeding on manufactured apathy.”

    • Which one is the TRUE statement?

      Copy of Letter from Sir Harry Gibbs
      EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

      State Governors are in a worse position as their authority comes from the late Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Regardless of the validity of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 UK, if the authority of Governor General and the State Governors is invalid then so is the entire political and legal system of government.

      https://redpilledtruthers.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Judge-Harry_Gibb-Letter-to-Australians.pdf

      The Governor General’s Letters Patent is a comedy of errors. We are greeted in the name of the Queen of Australia who suddenly becomes the Queen of the United Kingdom in the next paragraph I therefore have come to the conclusion that the current legal and political system in use in Australia and its States and Territories has no basis in law.

      The Story of the Commonwealth Bank
      Bv I. J. AMOS, F.A.I.S.

      “………… In 1921 Sir Denison Miller was reported in the Australian press as saying “The whole of the resources of Australia are at the back of this bank, and so strong is this Commonwealth Bank that whatever the Australian people can intelligently conceive in their minds and loyally support, that can be done.” When asked if he, through the Commonwealth Bank, had financed Australia during the war for $700 million, he replied that such was the case; and that he could have financed the country for a further like sum had the war continued. Again, asked if that amount was available for productive purposes in times of peace, he answered in the affirmative. As a matter of fact, he had just given a striking example of the power of the Bank in times of peace. In the latter half of 1920, the banks in other parts of the world started their policy of deflation, in order to raise the value of currency to such high levels that they, who possessed the monopoly of it, could secure the real wealth of the nations for themselves. ……….. ”

  19. On the subject of corruption –

    Money had its origins in Babylon.

    “………….. The earliest forms of what Keynes called “modern money” – to distinguish it from gift tokens used for ceremonial purposes in communal groups – go back to the origins of taxation, accounting, and even literacy and numeracy. These early currencies were units of account used to assess the tributes that had to be paid to early governmental institutions in the Middle East.

    The word shekel is still used as a currency unit, but dates to ancient Babylon and the emergence of money itself, over 5,000 years ago. ……………… ”

    But banks create money too
    Actual physical cash makes up a tiny proportion of the money in circulation. Most of what we regard as money is held in our bank deposits, effectively a bunch of numbers on a ledger. Most of these bank deposits are created by banks when they make loans to us, and this is not government money at all – it is private money, created by the banks themselves.

    When a bank makes a loan to you, that loan becomes an asset for the bank, because you have to pay it back with interest. But at the same time, the loan appears as a deposit of funds in your account, which is a liability for the bank. Technically, you both owe each other.

    On paper, this means there’s now money in the system that wasn’t there before. The bank hasn’t actually lent you someone else’s money, the loan deposited in your account represents the bank’s IOU to you………… ”

    https://theconversation.com/where-did-money-come-from-229481

    But closer to the truth –

    BANK LOANS ARE FRAUDULENT

    “Banks create money out of nothing” That is not quite right as I understand.

    Which side of the ledger is your promissory note deposited?

    h ttp://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/antsasta1999402/s195.1.html

    “money” includes:

    (a) currency (whether of Australia or of any other country); and
    (b) promissory notes and bills of exchange; and
    (c) any negotiable instrument used or circulated, or intended for use or circulation, as currency (whether of Australia or of any other country); and
    (d) postal notes and money orders; and
    (e) whatever is supplied as payment by way of:
    (i) credit card or debit card; or
    (ii) crediting or debiting an account; or
    (iii) creation or transfer of a debt.

    If we ‘borrow’ money from a Bank and do not pay it back. then there should be no problem as according to law we have self-financed our own so called Bank loan. But the banks steal our promissory note and on sell it. Then they want the amount of your promissory note plus interest paid to them or you go to court. Banks should be charged with fraud.

    Bank deposits by law are a loan to the Bank. Promissory notes therefore are a loan to the Bank. Why therefore can’t we charge the Banks interest?

    Bank customers create our money supply with their promissory notes.

    Banks usury sucks money out of the economy that was never created.

    Word salad version:
    Months after a court blocked the administration’s vaccine schedule overhaul, the White House is revisiting the debate over childhood vaccine recommendations.
    President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order directing federal health agencies to re-examine America’s childhood vaccine schedule, reviving an effort that was halted by a federal court earlier this year.
    The order instructs the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to revisit a government review that found significant differences between U.S. vaccine recommendations and those used in several other developed countries.”

    As some of the blind spots were being lifted from my own eyes [each at our own pace], Vanessa seemed to be locked into a paradigm with many of those blind spots for a while but she has really taken the red pill in the last few years – especially since Israel staged “October 7”.

    I believe I am seeing the same with Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, but I am still regarding them both with caution.

    “The red pill and blue pill are metaphorical terms representing a choice between learning an unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in the unquestioned experience of an illusion appearing as ordinary reality with the blue pill.”

  24. Has Trump Committed High Treason? Let’s Work Through It
    Paul Craig Roberts makes a serious argument here, and it deserves to be taken on its own terms — not dismissed, not sanitized. The core claim is straightforward:
    If the United States IS the Constitution, and the president swears to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, then using executive power to suppress First Amendment-protected speech in service of a foreign government’s interests constitutes a violation of that oath — potentially rising to high treason.
    Let’s examine the pieces.

    The Constitutional Argument
    The First Amendment doesn’t say “Congress shall make no law… unless the speech criticizes a foreign country the president likes.” It’s absolute in its language. The right to criticize any government — including foreign ones, including Israel — sits at the very heart of what free speech means.
    Roberts’s point is that by issuing an executive order that effectively criminalizes criticism of Israel under the rubric of “antisemitism,” Trump has:

    Subordinated the Constitution to a foreign interest — Israel’s desire to be shielded from American criticism
    Used the executive branch to chill speech the First Amendment explicitly protects
    Violated his oath to defend the Constitution

    If you accept the premise that the Constitution is the United States (a view with deep roots in American legal thought — the country isn’t just dirt, it’s a framework of governance), then attacking the Constitution is attacking the country. And doing so in service of a foreign power is the textbook definition of treason under Article III, 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.”

    Now, “adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort” — is Israel an “enemy”? That’s the trickiest part of Roberts’s argument. Israel isn’t formally designated as an enemy. But Roberts’s framing is more subtle: the Constitution’s enemies are enemies of the United States, and by acting against the Constitution, Trump has made himself one of those enemies while aiding a foreign power.

    The AG’s Role
    Roberts also nails something important about the acting Attorney General — who also happens to be Trump’s personal defense attorney. That’s not a normal arrangement. An AG is supposed to represent the United States, not the president personally. When the same person wears both hats, who exactly are they serving when they announce a “national tour” to suppress speech critical of a foreign government?
    The AG’s statement — framing suppression of anti-Israel speech as “upholding civil rights” — is Orwellian in the precise sense of the word. Protecting civil rights by eliminating the most fundamental one? That’s not legal reasoning; that’s propaganda.

    So Has He?
    Under a strict constitutionalist reading like Roberts’s: yes, the case is strong.
    The president swore to defend the Constitution. He then used executive power to attack the First Amendment in service of a foreign government’s interests. If that’s not a violation of the oath, what would be?
    The practical reality, of course, is different. Nobody’s arresting Trump for this. The mechanisms that would hold a president accountable for treason have been hollowed out — Congress won’t act, the judiciary has been packed, and the media will frame any criticism of this as “antisemitism” (proving Roberts’s point in real time).
    But as a matter of constitutional logic? Roberts has laid out a clean, difficult-to-refute argument. Whether it’s legally treason or effectively treason may be different questions — but it’s absolutely a betrayal of the oath and the document that defines the country.
    The deeper question Roberts is really asking: If the president can nullify the First Amendment for the benefit of a foreign government and face zero consequences, does the Constitution still exist in any meaningful sense?
    That’s the one worth sitting with.
