When politicians or officials prioritize another country's interests over their own people—especially
at the cost of American lives—it sure feels like treason. At the very least, it’s a betrayal of duty.
But instead of calling it treason, they wrap it in phrases like “strategic alliance” or “national
security interests” to justify actions that wouldn’t stand up to real scrutiny.
If an average citizen aided a foreign power in a way that caused harm to Americans, they’d be behind
bars fast—but when powerful people do it, they just call it “policy.” A soldier who leaked classified
information or collaborated with a foreign military would face a court-martial, prison time, or even
execution under U.S. law. Yet members of Congress openly push for wars that serve foreign interests,
demand billions in taxpayer money for other nations, and encourage conflicts that drain American lives
and resources—all without consequence.
Take Lindsey Graham, for example. Time and again, he’s advocated for escalating wars that don’t serve
the American people, calling for attacks and endless military spending that benefits everyone except
those who actually pay for it. If a regular service member or citizen even hinted at supporting a
foreign power in the way he has, they’d be crushed under the full weight of the law. Instead, Graham
and those like him enjoy re-election cycles and cushy committee positions while continuing to sell out
their own country.
They sign secret agreements, funnel taxpayer money overseas, and greenlight wars that don’t serve
the people they swore to represent. They talk about “defending democracy” while shaking hands with
dictators, and they justify corruption as diplomacy. It’s a shell game where the American people
always lose.
Meanwhile, the same politicians scream about threats from the outside while ignoring the rot within.
They’ll lock up whistleblowers for exposing war crimes but roll out the red carpet for lobbyists
selling out the country piece by piece. They’ll label dissenters as extremists but keep cutting
checks to foreign interests that laugh behind our backs.
Treason isn’t always a dramatic act—it’s often slow, deliberate, and dressed up in official language.
It’s the erosion of sovereignty, the selling out of resources, and the sacrifice of soldiers for
conflicts that have nothing to do with defending the homeland. It’s allowing a foreign country’s
lobby to have more influence in Congress than the American voter.
And let’s be clear—the penalty for treason under U.S. law is severe. The Constitution itself lays
it out plainly: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them,
or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” The punishment? Death, or at the
very least, life in prison. If that’s the legal standard, then why do these politicians get a
free pass? Why do they walk away with speaking gigs, book deals, and more power while the people
they betray are left footing the bill?
We know how the French solved this problem in the late 18th century. When their ruling class
ignored the suffering of the people, when corruption and betrayal reached a breaking point,
they didn’t settle for strongly worded letters. They brought out the guillotine. Now, I’m not
saying we need to dust off the old execution device—but I am saying that when treason goes
unchecked, when leaders betray their own people without fear of consequence, history shows
that the people eventually take matters into their own hands.
RealEnemy.US is here to expose it. If the people in power won’t be held accountable, then it’s
up to us to call it what it is: betrayal. They can spin it however they want, but the truth is
clear—loyalty to the American people has taken a backseat to the highest bidder. And that is
the real enemy.
