Link to full article: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Treason *Bold text by me* Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given. Seems pretty clear to me what we have here. | |||

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...f-communist-soldier/ West Point is launching an investigation into how it handled the case of a former student who graduated last year despite the school being alerted by a faculty member of his angry, anti-military, and pro-communist sentiments in 2015. “There is now a West Point investigation starting,” a West Point spokesperson said in an email, when asked what actions it took after a faculty member reported then-West Point Cadet Spenser Rapone in 2015. “In order to safeguard the investigative process, the U.S. Military Academy is unable to provide a comment at this time.” it was unclear whether West Point was aware of his activity as a student until the Daily Caller on Wednesday published a sworn statement from a then-West Point history professor, which mentioned Rapone’s anti-U.S. and pro-communist views. recommend reading the statement at the link above Retired Army Lieutenant Col. Robert M. Heffington gave the statement after a tense encounter with Rapone, whom he said had a “serious problem with military authority figures.” Heffington said he shared his misgivings about Rapone with three close friends and colleagues, and one of them showed him Rapone’s Facebook page, which contained a number of anti-military, anti-government, pro-communist, and pro-Muslim posts stemming back to 2014. “What I saw completely stunned me,” Heffington said. “From his various online rantings and posts, it appears that CDT Rapone is an avowed Marxist, which is completely out of line with the values of this nation and its Army. Moreover, CDT Rapone’s posts indicate he hates West Point, the U.S. Army, and indeed this country.” West Point let him graduate in May 2016. *************** IMO, the West point professor Hosein needs to be investigated | |||

One thing to remember.....most of this happened under the Obummer Administration so this quote: Heffington said. “From his various online rantings and posts, it appears that CDT Rapone is an avowed Marxist, which is completely out of line with the values of this nation and its Army. Moreover, CDT Rapone’s posts indicate he hates West Point, the U.S. Army, and indeed this country.” actually means in Obummer's Democratic Party's New America, Cadet Idiot was being groomed for a top position on the Joint Chiefs and the Administration, and possibly a future candidate for President..........just saying. The Muslim professor was put in there for this purpose by the same Obummer staff puke who called Fort Hood "workplace violence" and was buddies with CAIR. You remember it was the same guy who had everyone in the government STOP referring to the enemy as Islamic Terrorists, they were now just terrorists and no mention of their religion was allowed in government briefings and training. | |||

How the hell could a newly minted 2nd Lt. from West Point pledge Allegiance, and carry it out, to the U.S. Constitution when his Lenin-Marxism Bolshevistic views are in direct contradiction to said Constitution? -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Well the post above explains his attitude about the military and political beliefs. My question is what he was commissioned? Officers lives matter! | |||

It would be interesting to know what the other cadets in the office arguing have to say. Were all of them arguing against Rapone? Some with, some against? This space intentionally left blank. | |||

My question is why wasn't he told to pack his shit and get out of West Point? | |||

Well, that sworn statement says it all. West Point certainly knew about him, he wasn't flying under the radar... Yeah, a combat scroll is worth a lot of instant cred...but not 4 years worth of insubordination and commie sympathizing. The West Point cadre aren't exactly slouches either, so this punk isn't gonna intimidate them just because he was enlisted in the Ranger Regt. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

I vote transfer to Combat Engineers, send to Afghanistan again, and let him clear mines and IEDs with only a bayonet... | |||

You don’t fix faith, River. It fixes you. |
Wow. What a Shitbag. When I first saw the pics I thought they might be photoshopped by a troll. Now I'm pissed he's still holding a commission. WP is not Oberlin and previous combat experience aside he should not have graduated. Frankly, I'm struggling trying to make sense of it. ---------------------------------- "If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.." - Thomas Sowell | |||

That photostat of the DA 2823 says it all, but HOW IN THE HELL was he allowed to graduate much less get commissioned? Is the USMA cadre that much infiltrated with “Politically-Correct Fifth Columnists” inserted by Odumbo’s Administration? --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Wonder who too the photos? The first with the hat has nobody by cadets. I'll guess this was before graduation started. The second appears after the ceremony. Going with the first it's likely a fellow cadet.which brings up the question about the honor system and just how many people know about this commie. “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

You Army guys sure do have a sense of humor about these things! Saying something like that in a Navy training command would have you gone so fast, you wouldn’t even get to say goodbye. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||
