The oldest and simplest justification for government is as protector: protecting citizens from violence.
As English philosopher Thomas Hobbes wrote in his book Leviathan, he describes a world of unrelenting insecurity without a government to provide the safety of law and order, protecting citizens from each other and from foreign foes. The idea of government as protector requires taxes to fund, train and equip an army and a police force; to build courts and jails; and to elect or appoint the officials to pass and implement the laws citizens must not break.
The concept of government as provider comes next: government as provider of goods and services that citizens cannot provide individually for themselves. The future of government builds on these foundations of protecting and providing. Government will continue to protect citizens from violence and from the worst vicissitudes of life. Government will continue to provide public goods, at a level necessary to ensure a globally competitive economy and a well-functioning society
Lying to the public and the press
The president’s duty to faithfully execute his office plays a critical role in the constitutional scheme. Going beyond requiring the president to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” Const., Art. II, Sec. 3, Cl. 5, the Clause 8 constitutional duty to “faithfully execute” the presidential office limits the president’s discretion in how to perform his official functions.
“Faithfully” was contemporaneously defined, in part, as: “Honestly, without fraud, trick, or ambiguity.” One component recurrently included in the “faithful execution” provisions of “statutes and other legal documents” was that the official be “honest.” As the authors summarized: “The oath or command of faithful execution to an office holder came to convey an affirmative duty to act … honestly … in the best interest of the public.” (Emphasis added.)
Accordingly, the language, history, purpose and widespread contemporaneous usage of “faithfully execute” one’s office show that the constitutional duty to “faithfully execute the office of the President” includes a duty to act honestly. Since the duty of “faithful execution” applies unconditionally to the office of the president, it applies to performing all the president’s official functions. Since communicating to the public is one of the president’s official functions, the honesty duty likewise applies to virtually all such communications.
Trump’s “repeatedly making false statements asserting that the presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud” were not to defend the national interest. To the contrary, his statements attacked the central pillar of American democracy: implementing the results of fair elections. Trump’s dishonesty was not to serve the national interest, but his personal and political self-interest in overturning the election’s results.
Furthermore, Trump had to have known that a pandemic would cause an economic recession or new Great Depression and therein it would reduce his odds of being reelected.
Far from the First Amendment giving any president the right to speak dishonestly to the American people, the Constitution itself imposes on the president a unique duty of honesty in carrying out his official functions. By repeatedly and falsely asserting to the American people that there had been widespread fraud and Covid-19 was not as dangerous as medical scientists were saying, Trump violated his constitutional duty of honesty.
Too many citizens do not understand what is meant by the duty of a president or other public officials to “faithfully execute.” Too many unassertive citizens lack the ethical courage in order to do their duty to insure justice is done, notwithstanding no law has been written making it a crime of accessory to a pandemic.
This crime of being an accessory to a pandemic (second degree murder or voluntary manslaughter) is a new incident such that our law makers never thought they needed to make a law to punish people who spread unscientific lies or refuting the advice of peer reviewed medical science.
Resolution to prosecute Donald Trump and other public officials for being accessories to a pandemic
WHEREAS Trump was briefed at least by January 30, 2020 that Covid-19 was very contagious and deadly similar to smallpox and the plague,
WHEREAS Trump told Americans 22 times the Corona virus would go away,
WHEREAS in September 2020 Trump pressured the CDC to downplay the threat of Covid-19 and the CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield did not resign,
WHEREAS Trump in February 2020 accused Democrats of “politicizing” the corona virus during a campaign rally claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax,” accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode”, and downplaying the severity by comparing the number of fatalities during an average flu season,
WHEREAS Trump received a vaccination against Covid and he kept it a secret,
WHEREAS the former US Commander and Chief, Trump had the duty to protect US persons from all enemies (aka deadly threats), and one such enemy was Covid-19, a deadly and extremely contagious disease which even if the victim does not die, it can allegedly result at times in serious negative outcomes to a person’s long term health,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand Trump and other US public officials be prosecuted by the US Court of jurisdiction and/or the international Criminal Court for gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life and health due to making false and unscientific statements about Covid-19.

We need to understand why Obama was not a Democrat
The Senate study runs more than 6,000 pages, but has been deep-sixed in the intelligence bureaucracy by the Republican leaders of the Senate. President Obama could have and should have made sure that a copy of the report was archived with the National Archives, but he chose not to do so. Similarly, he chose not to pursue any accountability for those CIA officers at the highest levels who orchestrated the torture program. Obama also made sure that for too many years of his presidency the CIA didn’t have an Inspector General.
Why did Obama go after journalist Jim Risen?
1,700 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan during the Obama continuing the war there. Per polls 73 percent veteran of the Afghan war are against it. Obama campaigned to focus attention and resources on the faltering war effort in Afghanistan. On February 17, 2009, he approved sending an additional 17,000 U.S. troops, on top of the 36,000 U.S. troops and 32,000 NATO service members. Who advised him to do that?
Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn says that early on President Obama knew that ISIS was growing but made a “willful decision” to let the radical terror group grow unmolested and even supplied arms that he knew would go to ISIS. Flynn spoke of the decision to arm opposition to Syria’s Bashar al-Assad that the administration decided to continue despite warnings that those weapons would fall into the hands of radicals. https://100percentfedup.com/bombshell-us-general-admits-obama-willingly-armed-isis-video/
Obama blocked prosecution of Bush and Cheney for crimes against humanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSK2cDUWfMA
On the banking and housing crisis, he bailed out the banks without extracting any meaningful concessions, such as a moratorium on foreclosures or a 25 percent write-down of the principal on all existing mortgages. He failed to prosecute the banksters.
On labor, he sat on the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill to make it easier for workers to organize themselves into unions.
On civil liberties, Obama continued the Bush policies, extending the Patriot Act claiming it was absolutely necessary to fight terrorism. The Obama Administration argued in court that they can spy on U.S. civilians with impunity. (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/05/warrantless-spying-challenge/)
Obama continued to use Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (be the world policeman) even though a “WAR” is only Constitutionally done against another nation’s incumbent government and military.
He has dramatically increased the number of troops in Afghanistan, adding 30,000 more soldiers to the fight in 2009.
He escalated the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan and pressed for keeping some troops in Iraq. Waged a war against Syria, ISIS and Ukraine without a declaration of war.
And he signed Subtitle D, to the NDAA which authorized the denial of a writ of Habeas Corps which authorized the President alone decides are a terrorist and authorized their detention by the US military indefinitely without due process. http://worldtruth.tv/obama-wins-back-the-right-to-indefinitely-detain-under-ndaa/
On foreign policy, his Sec/State Clinton backed the coup makers in Honduras.
Obama dropped espionage charges against two spies who were officials of pro-Israel lobby group the American-Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC). On May 1, 2009 case against them began and later charges were dropped by DoJ.
The two accused, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, worked for AIPAC. They were accused of providing defense secrets to the chief political officer at the Israeli embassy in Washington. Officials from the FBI’s Washington office argued that there was enough evidence to persuade a jury to find the two men guilty. FBI agents poured substantial resources into the case.
The case has been further complicated by a scandal revealed by a political publication, Congressional Quarterly, around a member of Congress, Rep Jane Harman. She was secretly taped telling an Israeli agent that she would pressure the justice department to reduce spying charges against the two AIPAC officials.
Obama failed to prosecute AWOL Bush et al and others for war crimes and these Congress people for conspiracy to do war crimes. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan) were briefed from 2002 to 2003 in about 30 private briefings, about the planned use of cruel, unusual and inhuman treatment, to include water-boarding, by former President George W. Bush and his subordinates. These Congress people had a Constitutional and legal duty to go public about the planned or on-going use of torture, ghost prisoners, secret jails, and kidnapping and rendition to proxy nations that torture, (all war crimes), not withstanding that these activities were classified.
And Obama launched an illegal air war against Libya. During Gaddafi's reign, there was very little poverty in Libya. The country had the best living standards in Africa. Libya had free healthcare, free education, free farmland, a house and seeds, free energy bills, $50,000 housing money for just married couples, and interest free loans. Libya was a debt free country (unlike most African states befriended by the West), had near free gasoline prices, plus the government paid half the price for your car, among other benefits. Libyan women enjoyed more freedom than their counterparts in the Arab world and enjoyed the same freedom with their Western counterparts.
Obama allowed his Justice Department to investigate the CIA's destruction of videotapes of torture sessions, but the investigation did not lead to any charges being filed, or even any accounting of why they were not filed. He refused to prosecute the higher ups who ordered the torture.
The Obama administration filed a brief to the Supreme Court about whether to hear an appeal from Maher Arar in his lawsuit against former Attorney General Ashcroft and other Bush administration figures. Arar was kidnapped from New York's JFK Airport and rendered secretly to Syria, where he was tortured for almost a year. His suit was dismissed by a federal circuit appeals court. President Obama's Acting Solicitor General, Neal Katyal pronounced the administration's position that further deliberations on Mr. Arar's suit are "unwarranted."

Resolution to prosecute Donald Trump and other public officials for being accessories to a pandemic
WHEREAS Trump was briefed at least by January 30, 2020 that Covid-19 was very contagious and deadly similar to smallpox and the plague,
WHEREAS Trump told Americans 22 times the Corona virus would go away,
WHEREAS in September 2020 Trump pressured the CDC to downplay the threat of Covid-19 and the CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield did not resign,
WHEREAS Trump in February 2020 accused Democrats of “politicizing” the corona virus during a campaign rally claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax,” accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode”, and downplaying the severity by comparing the number of fatalities during an average flu season,
WHEREAS Trump received a vaccination against Covid and he kept it a secret,
WHEREAS the former US Commander and Chief, Trump had the duty to protect US persons from all enemies (aka deadly threats), and one such enemy was Covid-19, a deadly and extremely contagious disease which even if the victim does not die, it can allegedly result at times in serious negative outcomes to a person’s long term health,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand Trump and other US public officials be prosecuted by the US Court of jurisdiction and/or the international Criminal Court for gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life and health due to making false and unscientific statements about Covid-19.
Being an ethical coward is not honorable. Too many US citizens are too stupid and do not understand what the duty of a president or other public officials is. Or too many are lacking in assertiveness to stand up and do their duty to insure justice is done, notwithstanding no law has been written making it a crime of accessory to a pandemic.
This issue of being an accessory to a pandemic (second degree murder or voluntary manslaughter) is a new incident such that our law makers never thought they needed to make a law to punish people who spread lies that are unscientific and or refute the advice of peer reviewed medical science.
To try and break thru your ignorance, this crime is similar to a president knowing an enemy attack is highly likely after being warned by the CIA or DoD. And the president makes public statements saying the CIA and DoD are wrong. As a result, the US military leaders are pressured not to deploy defensive military forces away for a US city, the target of the enemies planned attack.
Secondly, as the enemy began attacking the city and so far at least 130,000 are killed and more wounded, yet the president refuses to give the order to defend the city or warn the US person in the city.
