==========================================(end of list)

Note the one for federal employees. This category presumably includes FBI agents, CIA agents, Secret Service agents, National Security Agency agents, and all similar groups. GOOD! Because that Oath is probably the only thing that has a chance of distinguishing those people from, say, Soviet KGB agents, Nazi SS agents, Mafia goons, and so on. Of course, the preceding is true only if our agents hold true to their Oaths....

The problem is, well, consider the United States' Constitution's First Amendment, for example. It's short and sweet: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Now at first glance there might seem to be a "disconnect" between what that Amendment tells Congress, and what all those agents are oathbound to do. But it's actually simple, because all those agents are part of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, and their job involves carrying out the Law -- mostly specified by Congress -- yet ALL the laws begin with the Constitution. It is the ultimate Law in the United States of America.

Therefore, all those agents are Oathbound to, for example, do nothing that might abridge freedom of speech. That word "abridge" has an interesting meaning because it is so useful. When building a road by the easiest route, you might want to abridge a river, so that you don't have to go long distances upstream to find a suitable natural crossing/ford. Abridging a river is therefore a shortening, a reducing, a lessening of distance and time. And so, equally, abridging a freedom means lessening that freedom.

According to this article, the Executive Branch of the U.S. government has become positively infested with Oathbreakers! The Constitution makes all public space in the entire Nation a "free speech zone", and LESSENING IS PROHIBITED. Thus, anyone ordering or trying to enforce a lessening of Freedom of Speech is an Oathbreaker! They all deserve to be fired. This may or may not include the President. I don't know who originated this particular obscenity against the People, but Oathbreaking has most definitely occurred in multiple levels of the power structure of the Executive Branch (there are always intermediaries passing orders along). The very best thing our agents can do is HOLD TRUE TO THEIR OATHS: Identify these domestic enemies of the Constitution, and expose them. The sooner, the better!

P.S. I do recognize that the claimed purpose behind creating lessened "free speech zones" relates to other duties. That is, stopping somebody who might want to assassinate the President is considered to be a pretty important duty. Nevertheless, there is no "conflict of duty" here. If we live in a Nation Ruled by Law, then even protecting the President must take second place to defending the Constitution. We can always get another President (indeed, there have been enough idiots holding the Office in the past that we KNOW "anybody can be President"!), but are we likely to ever have a better Constitution? More, LETTING some danger be part of the Presidency means that certain types of people (cowards, whom we wouldn't want as President anyway!) will decide they don't want to seek the job. Finally, it is a STUPID violation of the Oath, to think that a lessened "free speech zone" can help protect the President. Because an assassin who wants to get close enough to do the deed is then simply going to present himself (or herself) as a friend -- not as an freely-speaking protestor. Thus Oathbreaking gains absolutely nothing, and THAT is why it must be stopped.

P.P.S. Because the title of this text is quoted, it is not an advocation of anything. The title is actually just a search-marker, so that the agents to whom the text is directed can find it more easily. :)
