The President has betrayed his oath of office and so has every top official of the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, the US Military, and many other law-enforcement agencies.  If they weren't betraying us they would be aligned with what I and others have been saying for a long time, and they would be saying it too. Most were trained to believe that if they are following orders, they are doing the right thing.  And that's the way it should work.  They were never educated or trained to know when things are no longer working as they should be.

These people all took an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution and none of them are doing that. That's their job but that's not what they do or think about. When you take an oath of office you are honor-bound to keep your word regardless of what other people do.  Checks and balances do not apply only to the three branches of government--they apply to all of us. Just like the rule of law applies to all of us in equal measure, so does our word of honor.   

Julian Assange, Bradley Manning, and Edward Snowden and others understand their obligation as honorable citizens to protect and defend the honor of those who once had the courage to dedicate their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to making truth and integrity a way of life for all peoples starting right here at home.  Many lost their fortunes and their lives doing so.  We are no longer being led by such people although there are many people living in the United States today who do have the courage, the honor, and the ability to do what our Founders did.

Somehow the leaders we now have no longer believe in freedom, justice, or honor.  There is plenty of evidence to demonstrate that what I just said is true.  In fact the evidence is overwhelming.   

We, as a nation, are currently being unfaithful to basic concepts of truth, honor, and the rule of law.  The rest of the world is beginning to see it clearly.  We must have the courage to look into the mirror at what we have become.  

Our military is supposed to protect our freedoms and systems of justice, not destroy them; not trample on people when they try to be as free as we once wanted to be.  The higher-up in office or rank our leaders get the less they appear to understand what freedom is all about... the less conscience they seem to have...  the less they seem to respect the value of simply telling the truth. They can't conceive of peoples living in freedom under systems where leaders openly tell the truth, admit and take responsibility for their mistakes, defend justice, and value life. 

Enough of all this talk.  We now know what we needed to know.  We have been betrayed.  The proof is outlined and described in tens of thousands of articles, videos, and other communications already offered by me and so many others.  What else do you need to know? Well you won't know unless and until you look into things for yourself and not simply believe what your usual sources tell you.

You don't need to fight anyone.  You just need to believe in yourself and in the truth; you need to seek the truth out for yourself, and eventually the truth will set you free if you don't give up on yourself or be afraid to be who you are and how you truly want to live.  As God is my witness.   www.gpln.com
