Nope, governments are accountable to their citzenry and only individuals can be tried for treason.

oldpepy

No but they should be!

I don't think so, governments have been lying to their citizens since the first government was established 5000 years ago.

jed slade

only individuals can be tried for betrayal,goverments are just guilty of bad goverment.

government? tried? wake up and smell the coffee

Mr Sceptic

Yawn! No. Read a law book and find out what treason actually is!.

No. Treason is a crime against the State. A Government is the State, so it cannot charge itself with a crime against itself. An individual or a group within the government could be charged with treason if their actions were deliberately intended to place the State jeopardy.

Sure they can....but who will bring it about?..the monach?...the church?

Tricky. At best you'd probably get one branch of government against another with little or no way to tell which is the more corrupt. And if the entire government is committed to treason? In the 2000 presidential election, for example Bush had all branches of government, including the supreme court, on his side. Who stepped up to try the case on behalf of the people....?

Whitey politicians lie all the time and always will

Mr Abba

I dont think they can be.

Of course any government can be tried for treason for lying to their people, but not in the US. Welcome to America!

Hello,, no, but they will shoot you for attempting to promote this kind of truth, I believe there is no end to the lies coming from the media induced frenzy, there are no true issues to be solved, only issues that allow the covert to continue to flourish and the rich get more powerful, if they have the right name/secret society.
