Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Governor Jerry Brown of California is committing Treason Against the United States. He is leading a confederacy against the Federal Government and should stand trial, but of course that would be controversial. After Trump rejected the Paris Climate treaty, which had never been ratified by the Senate, the European Union announced that it would work with a climate confederacy of secessionist states in the USA. This is clearly Treason and all Federal funds should be cut off from the secessionist governments of California, New York and Washington, who have unilaterally and completely illegally entered into a foreign treaty rejecting the President of the United States on the Paris Accord.

U.S. Constitution – Article 1 Section 10
Article 1 – The Legislative Branch
Section 10 – Powers Prohibited of States
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it’s inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
There is absolutely no legal basis for Jerry Brown entering into any treaty, alliance, or confederation with the EU. Governor Cuomo of New York has also committed treason saying “New York State is committed to meeting the standards set forth in the Paris Accord regardless of Washington’s irresponsible actions.”
Jerry Brown should be put on trial right now. He had the audacity to say: “It is a little bold to talk about the China-California partnership as though we were a separate nation, but we are a separate nation.”
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Jerry Brown described California as “a real nation-state” and said “We’re a powerful state government. We have nine other states that agree with us.” Brown boasted.
In fact, this is a Climate Alliance of California, New York, Washington, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Virginia and Rhode Island which is absolutely unconstitutional. ALL FUNDING should be cut off to these states just as they did to Iran.
It is one thing that each state can create its own laws and punish people within the state. Then they will see as more and more businesses leave. But to sign treaties with the EU, that is absolutely treason. Jerry Brown should be in prison and there is no legal question about that for he has openly advocated the overthrow of the Federal government. That in itself is a crime without having to sign a treaty.
18 U.S. Code § 2385 – Advocating overthrow of Government
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

I say cut em’ loose. We don’t need them – the queers, the illegals, the niggers who are illiterate, Hollywood, tree huggers – to name a few.
…And 2+ million legal, taxpaying, American citizens who voted against Obama, Hillary, Brown, homosexual marriage, illegal immigration, legalized weed… That’s two million patriots. That’s TWO+ million people; the populations of several “flyover states” combined. Who put the drugs in your Wheaties?…
How about a little help from our fellow Americans, instead of the harassment?
Thank you.
Only 2 million? I bet there’s that many in greater SoCal/San Diego.
No. The territory of California – the actual land – is quite nice. Believe it or not there are also a significant number of genuine good-people conservatives there, mostly in the rural areas. We should keep the land and expel the troublemakers. Incidentally this would reduce the state’s population by about 80%.
“expel the troublemakers ” – How about to Puerto Rico? They can do any kind of shit they want there, and it’s an island, so they won’t be coming back soon.
Wow, good to know what kind of people this website panders to, racists, fascists, hate filled trolls, and the utterly amoral right wing garbage with no education or humanity. In short, sociopaths.
Hey Herkie, you say it panders?
No, but in some places “free speech” actually means non-PC, unpopular, unfashionable speech.
Obviously, with your ad hominem bullshit you need a bit of education.

Do you have any real arguments, or is name calling the best you can do.
Weak arguments often indicate weak minds.
Treason is bandied around a lot. Treason is defined specifically. This ain’t it.
Why do they keep electing commies in Cali? The best thing to do with this dribble is to ignore it.
Drivel.
No, dribble, dawg. Brown is dribbling BS out of his ass.
If you say so.
dawg- Are you saying you agree with Brown or are you saying I don’t have it right with dribble? Are you the official TBP spellcheck or are you that bored?
The FSA in big cities
They elect commies cause they want Free Shit. A large part of Kommiefornia is the ‘Big Warm and Easy”. These people will do anything to avoid having to do it themselves. They have kicked the can down the road so long, that they’re almost to the end of the road.
Dear Moonbeam,
I believe California has a perfect right to support the Global Warming Scam Treaty. Show your support by paying a pro rated portion of the USA obligations from the California treasury. It is politically safe in California to raise taxes for such a worthy cause.
Sincerely with love,

“make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts” – Congress hasn’t bothered to care about this since 1934 (at least) so caring about the rest seems unlikely.
Additionally, working with the EU is not the same as signing a treaty.
Additionally, we ALL should be supporting any and ALL efforts at secession by any and all entities that wish to free themselves from the totalitarian grip of the criminals in Washington D.C. Secession is NOT treason. Secession is a completely Constitutional and LEGAL option for all the states who freely entered into what was supposed to be a VOLUNTARY union of the states. Just because Lincoln waged a war that cost 750,000 lives and created the impression that might makes right does not change the truth of what our “union” was supposed to be about. Let them all go. Good luck to them. We should all be so lucky to have state leadership willing to stand up for our rights at state citizens (but hopefully not for the unprincipled, wrong-headed reasons Brown and other democratic clowns are doing it for).
This landmass we call North America is blessed geographically to be bordered by 2 massive bodies of water, and a more or less friendly country to the north and nothing of note to the south. It would be foolish beyond belief to cede land to parties hostile to us, inviting the enemy into our backyard. Beat these bastards into oblivion every way possible and with extreme prejudice if necessary. No land for peace!
Make of it what you will:

Millennial at Starbucks: “Dude, what’s a Constitution anyway?”
We know we are no longer a Republic, pretty darn sure are not a democracy.
Oligarchy?

Kleptocracy?
Idiocracy?

As long as the left wingers are running things like in California or Washington state those are definite Idiocracy’s run by treasonous and obstructionist left wing dumb-asses.
States that want to defy national laws should be free to do so, with the understanding that federal funds they receive related to whatever issue is in play will have to be withheld. These states want it both ways.
Sanctuary cities? No more federal funds for any purposes related to immigrants, legal or illegal. You want climate change agreements? No more federal funding for environmental issues. I am a Californian but why should citizens from other states have their tax dollars used to shore up Moonbeam’s wet dreams of the Socialist State of California?
If California were to ever secede, its economy would crash immediately. I wouldn’t worry (nor hope) about it happening
It ain’t treason.
” Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court”.
Article III, Section 3, Clause 1
Then try sedition and/or subversion. One of those should work…
Well why don’t we start by arresting the prick AG for Washington state Bob Ferguson??? This guy has his left wing nose everywhere except where it should be and that’s in the AG’s office there in Olympia. Anyway, he’s a treasonous Socialist globalist leaning bastard that should be cooling his left wing jets in a jail cell right along with the Governor and any other left winger who’s had a hand in running and ruining this once great state and turning it into the laughing stock of the country. Only to be outdone by Gov Moonbeam and his cadre of criminals in California. These are sick, sick left wing minds that there’s no hope for. So let’s just lock them up and throw the key away as these are truly despicable people.
