'Making an example of him’: Retired US colonel backs firing squad execution at Fort Hood​


Treason is the crime of betraying one's country or government, specifically by attempting to overthrow the state, waging war against it, or materially aiding its enemies.

I think it is important to understand what has changed that Hegseth and Trump feel the need to live stream this execution. Reminds me of the two witnesses who will be killed in Jerusalem and how their death is live streamed to the world. I am not likening this man's crime of murder to that of the two witnesses. Instead I am likening the punishment. Jesus was crucified on the cross, the same punishment that was given to the worst offenders. This was a public spectacle designed to strike fear in the enemies of the state. Jesus suffered the same punishment. I am simply pointing out that this punishment will be established as the punishment for the worst offenders and ultimately that will be Christians and the two witnesses.
 
I think we should get a refresher history course on how both Hitler and Stalin weaponized treason laws to silence dissent.



Both Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany and Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union fundamentally redefined legal systems to weaponize treason and dissent laws. Instead of using the law to protect the state from external threats, both dictators transformed "treason" into a flexible, all-encompassing concept used to eliminate political rivals, terrify the public, and criminalize any form of non-conformity.
Here is how each regime achieved this.

Hitler -- Treason against the People

Nazi Germany: The Elasticity of Volksverrat (Treason Against the People)
Following Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime dismantled traditional legal protections and introduced a highly subjective system of political justice.

  • The Reichstag Fire Decree (1933): Triggered by the Reichstag fire, this decree suspended basic civil rights, including freedom of speech, assembly, and the press. It allowed the state to arrest political opponents—primarily Communists and Social Democrats—without charge, effectively making political opposition synonymous with state treason.
  • The Malicious Practices Act (1934): This law criminalized making "malicious" or "subversive" remarks against Nazi Party leaders or policies. Even telling a joke about Hitler or complaining about wartime rations could be prosecuted as a form of treason, heavily relying on denunciation by ordinary citizens.
  • The People’s Court (Volksgerichtshof): Established in 1934 to handle political crimes, this court operated outside the normal constitutional framework. Legal defense was a formality; trials were theatrical scripts designed to humiliate defendants before their execution. Under Judge Roland Freisler, the court radically expanded the definition of treason.
  • Broadening "High Treason" (Hochverrat and Landesverrat): The Nazis shifted the focus from actions against the state institutions to actions against the Volk (the racial community) and the Führer. Passive dissent, listening to foreign radio broadcasts (like the BBC), or expressing defeatism during World War II were classified as treason and regularly punished by death.
Stalin -- Enemy of the People

The Soviet Union: Article 58 and the "Enemy of the People"
Stalin’s regime weaponized the legal system primarily through the RSFSR Penal Code, specifically the infamous Article 58, which was introduced in 1927 and expanded during the Great Purge (1936–1938).

  • Article 58 (Counter-Revolutionary Crimes): This article was specifically engineered to be vague and elastic. It criminalized any action—or lack of action—directed toward weakening the Soviet state. It was divided into sub-paragraphs that covered everything from "propaganda or agitation containing an appeal to overthrow" to "suspicion of espionage."
  • Wrecking and Sabotage: Under Article 58, industrial accidents, factory equipment failures, or falling short of unrealistic agricultural quotas were legally treated as intentional "economic counter-revolution" (wrecking). Engineers, scientists, and factory managers were routinely executed or sent to the Gulag for treason when production targets failed.
  • Intent and "Counter-Revolutionary Thought": The Soviet legal system, heavily influenced by jurist Andrey Vyshinsky, eliminated the need for concrete evidence. Vyshinsky asserted that a defendant's confession was the ultimate proof of guilt. Ideological deviations, associating with foreigners, or failing to report a suspect neighbor were treated as active treason.
  • Collective Punishment: Family members of those convicted under Article 58 were legally designated as "Members of the Family of a Traitor to the Motherland" (ChSVR). Under Soviet law, spouses and children of "traitors" were automatically subjected to arrest, internal exile, or forced labor, effectively forcing society into total compliance through collective terror
 
He was a Major that murdered his own soldiers and admitted to switching sides. Nevertheless the confused generations didn't actually try him for treason though it's very clear he committed treason. They actually charged him with multiple counts of pre-meditated murder. This is why he's going to be sent to Hell via firing squad instead of hung from the neck until he is dead. Good riddance, he deserves it.

This thread is not about his guilt or his conviction. As for whether or not he will go to hell, we can all pray that he repents and turns to the Lord before he is executed just like the one thief on the cross.

No, this thread is about why they want to live stream this to the whole nation.

Apparently he is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. So the live stream will show them shooting and killing a man in a wheelchair. Think of the memes that will come out of this live stream.

All of this is to desensitize people to the government executing people. You don't start with someone that we can argue about his guilt or whether his crime deserves the death penalty. But once this line is crossed there is now a precedent on which you can live stream all executions.

The only thing that could make this more gruesome is if they use the executioners from Tennessee. On the flip side if Hegseth announces he will be using that team of nurses to do the firing, well that might be enough to push him to repent.

Nidal Hasan will certainly go to hellfire everlasting not for his extreme sins, but because he rejects the only true God. He will not repent of that, he will remain in the false religion of Islam that denies Jesus and was created by a false prophet. There is no doubt about his guilt, he blatantly confessed in the trial, he argued himself that he committed treason not just simply pre-meditated murder, which is what he is ultimately charged with.

As for the factor of the public execution method and livestreaming it, all for it, this is another glowing review of my golden boy Hegseth my very most valiant servant whom does everything perfectly. I am minded to make Hegseth the next President even skipping Vance and Rubio for this and looking at his absolute perfect record of service so far. Hegseth does everything perfectly, he is a perfect servant who performs all our will and has the heart and the mind to teach and protect the Millennial generation and punish all of our enemies. Hegseth will unapolgetically kill all the virgin saints' enemies and tormentors, and whereas they all do their mischief and subversions and hatred of us in darkness and deceits and secrets; my servant Hegseth he will execute them openly in the face of the apostates and pagans and let everyone know it. Hegseth will throw so many of Satan's wicked slaves into the pit openly and no one will save them from his hand for he is my servant appointed by God that bears not the sword in vain and his hand is strengthened by the only true God and uplifted to punish all the enemies of God's holy Rev14 saints in the Millennial generation, praise Jesus.

"Everyone must know for all future time that if he raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot." Adolf Hitler

"Shoot these mad dogs! Death to this gang who hide their ferocious teeth, their eagle claws, from the people! Down with that vulture Trotsky, from whose mouth a bloody venom drips, putrefying the great ideals of Marxism!... Execution by shooting—that is what we demand for the traitors, for the criminals who sold out the secrets of our homeland!" Andrey Vyshinsky (on behalf of Josef Stalin)

The survivor of the shooting, whom was saved by Jesus, will attend and get to see real justice with his own eyes, God's will be done, praise Jesus.
