                                                              DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
                                            (PERTINENT VERBATIM SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT)

". . .We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. . . . ."

Wednesday, 25 October 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) rightly declares on United States Senate floor that Trump is "Dangerous To Democracy" blind Republican servility to Trump is "Morally Treasonable" . . . .

A Bad Day For Morally Treasonable Republicans Is A Good Day For The People To Whom All Power Reverts

- Almost heroes Flake, Corker, (war hero) McCain, Speaker of Texas House of Representatives

- Remainder of self-interested venal morally treasonable GOP betray oath to Constitution power thereby returns to the People wherein it resides mandates former GOP members elected ostensibly by U.S. voters or Kremlin vacate premises of the People remove no property of the People

To all whom it may concern the following exemplify in just minute part the nature of GOP more recent complicity with the Trump administration continual perpetration of morally treasonable acts against the People of the United States their true national identity set out plainly in the Declaration of Independence:

- Huge Tax Cut GOP Congress To Donor 1% Richest And Wealthy Corporations And Themselves

- GOP Senate with Pence voted 51-50 to end CFPB rule against mandatory arbitration contrary to Constitutional right to access to court in actions against banks, credit card companies, other financial institutions which Constitutional right like others neither morally treasonable GOP nor any other entity nor person ever had any authority to deny

- Senate GOP budget paves way for huge wealthy corporations ultra-rich donor and U.S. President and family and cabinet  and other wealthiest Republican politicians conflict of interest tax cuts giveaway evading need for 60 votes through parliamentary voodoo rushed "reconciliation"

- GOP House barely passes 216-212 blueprint budget vote for up to $6.6 trillion tax cut giveaway to richest drops revenue-neutral requirement to allow up to $1.5 trillion added to U.S. deficit despite cutting state and local tax deduction likely to raise tax especially for coastal blue state middle class

GOP who have not called out Trump are complicit in lies to People further in violation of oath to Constitution implicating reasons set forth in the Declaration of Independence for the return of just power to the People with whom all power resides and only from whose continuing consent all just power derives further evidenced by GOP anti-democratic and anti-constitutional deeds including affronts intended to eliminate the core foundation of three separate co-equal branches of government instead exploiting rather than upholding and defending the U.S. Constitution contrary to its spirit the GOP breaking its compact with the People with intent to take over all three branches and consolidate power in an oligarchical autocratic fascist GOP staged takeover violating all established agreed decent norms which the People have a duty to arrest to restore the true original intent of the Constitution for the survival of constitutional democracy with United States historical strategic world leadership restored based on its "better angels" not Republican corruption and avarice and greed and most importantly which is essential to the national security as well as vital to the security of an interdependent world.

The growing real danger of a Trump administration steadily descending into tyranny falsely relying on its alleged uninformed belief that such an executive branch's increasingly improper and well-documented unlawful actions may rightly be based on the preposterous notion that its incompetent and unfit President is afforded any valid support and/or assumed but in reality non-existent legitimacy by the shrunken mass of a stark minority (or imagined or even real majority) when following neither the animating spirit nor letter of the Constitution and the law whose own party when in the apparent sole position to do so has proven itself unwilling and/or unable to hold him to such lawful and proper behavior and/or remove him from office therefore rightly must be overcome by the greater People who recognize it as their Constitutional duty alone likewise to be willing only as necessary to employ whatever means needed to accomplish the removal of the despot from office only for the purpose of restoration of the rightful constitutional democratic norms as inherently is recognized as the constitutional imperative of the People alone from whom the sole source of all original power of governance resides and to whom it returns as its steward as may be necessary in the course of human endeavors and events.
       Even longtime well-respected recognized established Republican true conservatives who have left the party in disgust with the GOP's demise into an unprincipled anti-democratic ideologically devoid group willing to ally with repugnant misfits which GOP has but one remaining goal to serve their rich masters desperate to accomplish nothing more than their own survival by providing a sufficiently profitable return on donors' investments in the seats that have been bought for them, even those former Republican stalwarts who have left the party increasingly have come to the conclusion that the time has arrived to throw in the towel and for the best interests of all concerned recognize that the Republican party needs to die. Interested readers can go to the article linked to below about a long-established veteran of Reagan and Bush administrations who in growing a former Republican company is calling for just that. Interested readers also can go to the article providing details on the resignation of Steve Wynn as the R.N.C.'s finance chair linked to immediately below.

"Perpetuating Guantanamo's Travesty": New York Times Entire Editorial Board Again Opines On Failure Of The United States Government Yet To Close The Prison Site Of CIA Torture Of "Detainees" Never Charged Many Still Held Which At Least 38 Retired U.S. Generals And Flag Officers Say Is A "Betrayal Of American Values" And A "Recruiting Poster For Terrorists"

       Saturday, 24 January 2015, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The New York Times entire editorial board in the below linked-to editorial from the 18 January 2015 New York Times Sunday Review opines that it is a "travesty" now the responsibility of the Obama Administration that the United States continues to operate at Guantanamo Bay the United States site of years of the documented imprisonment of a strangely uncertain number of so-called "War On Terror" foreign "detainees". Imagine the absurdity not to mention the consequences for a prison warden in the United States were she or he to report that they were unable to provide the exact number of prisoners they had incarcerated because he or she was unable accurately to count them.
       Moreover the conditions at Guantanamo Bay horrified as "inhumane" even U.S. Bureau of Prisons officials who said they had never seen humans anywhere so "sensory deprived"  when these officials toured the CIA torture "dungeons" of never charged, tried, convicted, nor sentenced "detainees". A great deal of information previously undisclosed just recently was made partially public by the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence ("SSCI") in its Bush Administration CIA "Torture Report" in the form of its 524-page redacted executive summary public release on 9 December 2014 with the remainder of the over six thousand (6.000) page $40 million Torture Report to date remaining "Classified" .
       The following brief excerpt from the New York Times editorial of last Sunday linked to in full directly below as quoted here documents prior attempts at action on Guantanamo Bay by Senator John McCain (himself revered throughout this Country for his service which included years himself spent as a prisoner of war in enemy captivity during the Vietnam War - or "Conflict" in official DOD documents - infuriating his North Vietnamese captors upon refusing even to be released when it was not yet his "turn") here speaking on the United States Senate floor:
In November 2013, Mr. McCain, backing a failed initiative that would have authorized transferring some Guantánamo detainees to the United States,read out loud on the Senate floor a letter from 38 retired generals and flag officers who supported shutting the facility.
“Guantánamo is a betrayal of American values,” the former military officers wrote. “The prison is a symbol of torture and justice delayed. More than a decade after it opened, Guantánamo remains a recruiting poster for terrorists, which makes us all less safe.” 
       In the letter Senator John McCain as can be seen read that 38 retired United States generals and flag officers called the continued operation of the Guantanamo Bay imprisonment and CIA "detainee" torture site "a betrayal of American values" and "a recruiting poster for terrorists, which makes us all less safe". This result is antithetical to what anyone except a terrorist would want. That is because to the extent there is a "War On Terror" Guantanamo's continued existence and operation contrary to American values stands as a living monument to the wrong side winning by appearing to all the world to have forced the United States to sacrifice its must fundamental values in order to save them. Not only that but as the former military officers state rather than making all Americans more secure the continuing operation of Guantanamo instead creates a more dangerous situation by spurring recruitment of terrorists "which makes us all less safe".
       It is a most scathing indictment of Guantanamo Bay that its historical and continued operation as a United States "detention facility" fully documented already as contrary to all accepted United States principles of jurisprudence and totally at odds with the human rights of all persons as well as the fundamental values informing the United States Constitution but moreover has been and still is wrongly "justified" as necessary to preserve and protect the United States and all American values. It however in fact while allegedly doing so in reality has all along been doing exactly the opposite. Guantanamo has come to represent before all the world community living proof of the abandonment of those very same American values that it would purport to preserve and protect.
       This broadcasts completely the wrong message to all lovers and defenders of ordered and defined liberty and those who love this Country for all that for which it stands surely none more so than the American people themselves that the enduring values of the Unites States which have seen this great Nation all the way from the American Revolution of the 18th Century up through the darkest times of the 20th Century no longer are sufficient but instead must be tossed aside without debate mush less Constitutional amendment in times of perceived crisis. Meanwhile the 21st Century seems in just its first fifteen years to the present to have consisted ceaselessly of one never constitutionally declared so-called "War" to the next.
