Activist Judges and the Overreach of Judicial Authority: A Case for Sedition and Treason

Executive Summary

The balance of power among the three branches of government is a cornerstone of the United States Constitution.

However, activist judges have increasingly encroached upon executive authority, undermining the separation of powers.

When judges exceed their constitutional authority by obstructing or overturning executive actions without legitimate constitutional grounds, they not only overstep their role but may also commit acts tantamount to treason and sedition.

This essay explores the legal basis for holding such judges accountable, citing relevant laws, cases, and precedents.

The Constitutional Framework

Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests executive power in the President, granting him authority over the administration of federal agencies and the enforcement of laws.

Conversely, Article III establishes the judicial branch, limiting its role to interpreting the law rather than legislating or executing it. The principle of separation of powers is intended to prevent any branch from usurping the functions of another.

James Madison, in The Federalist Papers No. 47, emphasized that “the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” When judges attempt to override executive decisions outside their jurisdiction, they disrupt this balance and engage in judicial tyranny.

Surrey Pride founder, 41, is found guilty of raping 12-year-old boy he met on gay dating app Grindr

The founder of an LGBTQ+ group has been found guilty of raping a 12-year-old boy he met on Grindr.

Stephen Ireland, 41, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, was convicted at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday of raping the child at the flat he shared with David Sutton, 27, in Addlestone on April 19 2024.

Ireland along with Sutton, who was a volunteer for Surrey Pride, stood trial for a total of 38 offences between them, including conspiring to sexually assault children, arranging the commission of child sex offences and conspiring to kidnap.

The court heard the boy, 12, had met Ireland at his flat after messaging on dating app Grindr during which Ireland had suggested they kiss and watch pornography.

The child told police they had sex in the flat, smoked a bong and that pornography was played on a laptop, jurors heard. 

The trial heard how the pair discussed targeting children outside school gates while pretending to be a talent coach or music manager and how to avoid CCTV.

Ireland allegedly said in one of the messages ‘all I’m thinking of is making out with a 13’ and in another he told the volunteer ‘every day passes and I wanna do something terrible with you’, the court heard.

Sutton and Ireland also described themselves as ‘pedos’ in messages.

Detroit Activist Brings 80 Citizens To DC To Plead With Lawmakers To Help Fix Stolen Elections In Their Crooked City: “The false narrative that only whites think elections are being stolen—that’s a fabrication!”

Longtime Detroit activist Ramon Jackson, who is currently running for a seat on Detroit’s city council, joined the popular Detroit Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, to bring an estimated 80 Detroit residents by bus to Washington, D.C. on Thursday. Their goal is to shine a bright light on rampant voter fraud in the black-majority city of Detroit. Larry Jasper and Craig Jefferson from Pontiac, MI, which is also a black-majority city, accompanied the Detroit delegation to help bring attention to their city’s broken elections. Election integrity expert and former Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep Mark Miller (R-IN), and Rep.Josh Breechan (R-OK), joined the Detroit contingent to discuss the importance of the SAVE Act to protect our elections by requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote in every state.

In his speech in front of 3 US lawmakers, none of whom were from Michigan, Mr. Jackson spoke about a lawsuit against Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey and Michigan’s dirty SOS Jocelyn Benson, that is currently pending in the 6th District Court. Jackson said he hopes to get a Republican jury to hear his case, because he believes they will be more fair when it comes to taking voter fraud seriously in Detroit.

Ramone also told the crowd that the narrative that only White Republicans care about voter fraud is a lie, as he pointed to the 80 + Black Detroit citizens who accompanied him to DC, hoping to get lawmakers to help them stop the ridiculous, unchecked voter fraud in Detroit and the state of Michigan.

He explained how the names of people who move out of state or to a new address are being used by others to cast illegal votes. Mr. Jackson knows what he’s talking about since he was a victim of identity theft when someone voted in the city of Detroit using his name while he was living in Ohio for a short period. Jackson has discovered dozens of examples of friends or acquaintances who’ve told him they’ve never voted, yet Jackson has found their names on the Detroit voter rolls showing they’ve voted in one or more elections.

Astroturf Activism: How The US Government And NGOs Created “Gay Pride” From Thin Air

Growing up in America through the 1980s and 1990s there was a general sense of “live and let live” among Gen X and Gen Y that truly defined the era and our notions of what a society should look like. We all knew gay people were a permanent fixture in society. For the most part nobody bothered them and they kept their gayness to themselves (and far away from children). Frankly, it was working just fine.

There were some protests and marches, but the only “individual right” straight people had that they didn’t was the right to legal marriage. Most people figured that once that changed there wouldn’t be anything left to protest. What we didn’t understand at the time was that the seemingly harmless rise of “Gay Pride” in the 90s and early 2000s would become a primer for the woke madness that spread like wildfire from 2014 onward.

As we now know, a lot of that insanity was rooted in programs funded through the US government. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that the government is a tool, not the hand holding the tool. Elitist interests through NGO’s and think tanks like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation were the real impetus for the creation of the woke movement. They spent decades building the revolving door dynamic that cycled taxpayer cash through agencies like USAID and into the pockets of NGOs.

In other words, it’s a mistake to think of the federal government as the mastermind. Rather, the government and the politicians within it are paid (or blackmailed) by wealthy globalists to support legislation that funds and empowers globalist projects.

The international spread of “queer activism” or “pride activism” has been a goal of the elites since the days of the Kinsey Institute, which was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and became the source for the invasion of LGBT ideology into modern academia starting in 1947. The Rockefeller Foundation still brags to this day about funding the rise of the “sexual revolution” and the notion of “non-binary sexuality”.

The transgender movement is largely tied to the intellectually dishonest and disturbed studies of John Money conducted in the 1950-1960s. His experiments were bankrolled through the Johns Hopkins School, which was founded and largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Once these ideologies, posing as social science, infected the halls of higher academia, students were turned into adherents of the cult. They then spread like a plague into politics and federal bureaucracy. They would go on to grow the unaccountable bureaucratic system that now cycles taxpayer cash from federal agencies into the coffers of NGOs. The great scam was set in motion – Using American money to fund the demise of western civilization.

UN demands answers from UK on terror law abuse

As the British state harasses and arrests a growing number of activists and dissident journalists, including the author of this piece, UN rapporteurs delivered a forceful letter of protest to London condemning its abuse of counter-terror legislation.

In December 2024, a quartet of UN rapporteurs focused on “peaceful assembly and of association” and the “right to privacy” delivered a strongly-worded letter to the British government. Expressing grave concerns about the potential “misapplication of counter-terrorism laws” to arrest, detain, interrogate and surveil dissident activists and journalists, including The Grayzone’s Kit Klarenberg, they demanded clarity on a number of serious issues. Given 60 days to respond, London remained suspiciously silent.

As a result, the UN’s correspondence with the British government has now been made public. The rapporteurs were clearly disturbed by reports of Schedule 7 of the 2000 Terrorism Act, and Schedule 3 of the 2019 Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act, which covers “hostile” state threats, “being used to examine and obtain data from journalists and activists Johanna Ross, John Laughland, Kit Klarenberg, Craig Murray and Richard Medhurst in circumstances where they appear to have no credible connection to ‘terrorist’ or ‘hostile’ activity.”

While awaiting a reply that never came, the UN “urged” British authorities to undertake “interim measures” to prevent any recurrence of potential human rights breaches under counter-terror legislation, and “ensure the accountability” of anyone responsible for “alleged violations.” Evidently undeterred by pressure from the UN, Britain has continued to escalate its war on dissidents. 

Since the UN issued its letter of protest, British activists and journalists have since been arrested, raided, and prosecuted, including Asa Winstanley, Tony Greenstein, Sarah Wilkinson, Palestine Action cofounder Richard Barnard, and academic David Miller.

The UN letter focused on how “powers under counter-terrorism legislation have been used on multiple occasions to examine, detain, and arrest journalists and activists, particularly at the UK border.” Individuals “who are critical of Western foreign policy in the context of the conflict in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war are especially affected by the reported misuse of these powers,” the rapporteurs wrote. 

Ominously, the UN rapporteurs suggested this could amount to “over-use [or] misuse” of British counter-terrorism legislation “to target legitimate freedom of expression and opinion, including public interest media reporting, and related freedoms of peaceful assembly and association, and political dissent or activism.”

LGBT Activist Arrested As Ringleader Of International Pedophile Network

In November 2023, the French National Police inaugurated its Office Of Minors (L’OFMIN) in an effort to dedicate much needed resources to tackling child abuse in the country that has been mired in social decay since President Emmanuel Macron took office in 2017. Just one month into its existence, L’OFMIN spearheaded a European-wide operation that resulted in the identification of hundreds of pedophiles, leading to dozens of arrested. The department has continued on in that mission with the arrests of several members of a human trafficking network of pedophiles based out of France.

The criminal syndicate had been operating between the northern French province of Loire-Atlantique across the country’s border with Belgium. Its horrific crimes are reminiscent of the Dutroux affair, one of the most infamous episodes of child sex abuse to ever come to light in modern European history. 20 years after Marc Dutroux was sentenced to life in prison for his child sex crimes, the prominent LGBT activist that authorities have alleged is the ring leader of the pedophile ring uncovered by L’OFMIN is poised to supplant Dutroux as the face of those heinous crimes.

French newspaper La Parisien reported that a “32 year-old family assistant in Loire-Atlantique” was arrested as the leader of the pedophile ring. While the suspects arrested have yet to be officially identified in the press, law enforcement officials who analyzed the child sex abuse videos posted on the dark web by the pedophile ring were able to identify them, leading to their arrests. L’OFMIN and Dutch authorities were tipped off after the videos were reported on the messaging platform Telegram. Those reports led to a forensic examination of the evidence that identified a medical bed being used in the torture of one of the children. They were then able to trace the purchase of the particular type of bed, which led them to the suspected ring leader of the network, Pierre-Alain Cottineau.

Cottineau gained notoriety in France for his activism as a pro-LGBT advocate. His rise in France’s far-left politic landscape took off in 2021 when he ran in departmental elections as part of the La France Insoumise party (LFI). His political ascendancy was shaped by years of LGBT advocacy, in which he founded several activist groups including the Oudon Solidarity and Mutual Aid Collective and the LGBTQI+ Association of Ancenis after being elected president of The Rainbow Shelter, a nascent LGBT rights organization working to combat homophobia and transphobia throughout France.

However, Cottineau’s reputation would not be defined by his political advocacy. In September 2024, the LGBT activist was arrested on sexual assault charges for the abuse of 4 year-old disabled child. Cottineau’s 2024 arrest came after videos of the abuse were uncovered by French authorities in the city of Nantes. The victim of the rape had been under the care of Cottineau, who was working as the caregiver of the disabled child after authorities placed her in his custody at his home. The victim was placed in Cottineau’s custody just 1 week after Child Welfare Services approved his application to become a foster parent, in which he specifically sought a license to take custody of children 6 years of age and younger.

Repression vs. Activism – Colleges Crack Down While Gaza Solidarity Persists

Last spring, campuses across the country became flashpoints of anti-war resistance, as thousands of students mobilized in a powerful demonstration of moral conscience and collective action. Their demands were clear: an end to U.S. complicity in the genocide in Gaza and the dismantling of the war machine that sustains it. This wave of activism commanded both national and international attention.

Yet, in recent months, despite the ongoing slaughter and the White House’s egregious proposals to further orchestrate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, mainstream coverage of the student movement in solidarity with the Palestinian people – and in opposition to what Martin Luther King Jr. condemned as “the madness of militarism” – has steadily faded from the headlines.

Despite the relative media silence, and amid an intensifying campaign of institutional repression, the campus-based fight against the intolerable status quo has not ceased. Students remain at the forefront of the struggle for a more just, less militarized, and truly democratic world.

What coverage remains has largely functioned to reinforce the narrative that universities – initially caught off guard by the spontaneous protests of the spring – have successfully reasserted control over their campuses from what they have long framed as unruly agitators.

In November, The New York Times framed administrators’ crackdown on campus protests as a success, reporting that their efforts “seem to be working.” These draconian measures have had a chilling effect on campus expression – undermining free speech, stifling dissent, and betraying the university’s role as a laboratory for democracy and social change.

Nonviolent civil disobedience – a cornerstone of student activism from the Civil Rights Movement to the anti-Vietnam War and anti-Apartheid struggles – is now being met with the heavy hand of repression, as both the legal system and university conduct boards enforce arbitrary, vague, and inconsistently applied punitive measures.

These crackdowns have disproportionately targeted advocates for Palestinian liberation and their allies. This assault on Palestine-related dissent has already prompted multiple complaints over civil rights violations.

Activists Tried Cancel a Record Number of Campus Events in 2024

This past year, a record 164 speakers and events were targeted by campaigns to be disrupted or canceled, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment group. This is slightly higher than 2023’s 154 deplatforming attempts. More than half of 2024’s attempted cancelations were related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, up from about a third of 2023’s platforming attempts.

In all, 2023 and 2024 saw a significant increase in attempted deplatformings of campus speeches and events from the years prior (though it’s worth noting that FIRE records attempted cancellations of events with multiple speakers as separate attempts). Meanwhile, 2022 and 2021 had just 81 and 56 attempts, respectively. Around half of 2024’s attempts resulted in the event being canceled, the speaker’s invitation being revoked, or the event being substantially disrupted. 

In January, Indiana University canceled an exhibition from a Palestinian-American artist over her pro-Palestentian social media posts. In April, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D–Md.) was shouted down during a physics department lecture at the University of Maryland. In the spring, speakers ranging from United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to CNN’s Michael Smerconish had their invitations to deliver commencement speeches revoked following student or community outrage. In November, a symposium on the Israel-Palestine conflict including Judith Butler was forced off the campus of the University of Florida after administrators objected to the event.

“House of Horrors” – Gay Activist Couple Who Raped and Abused Their Adopted Sons Get 100 Years in Prison

William Dale Zulock and Zachary Jacoby Zulock, a married, gay couple who were arrested in 2022 after authorities in Georgia were tipped off that the two were using their adopted, underaged sons for pornography and possibly even allowing pedophiles to spend time with them were sentenced to 100 years in prison.

We covered the horrifying story when it broke.

William Dale Zulock and Zachary Jacoby Zulock, were indicted last year by a grand jury on charges of incest, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, sexual exploitation of children, and prostitution of a minor.

According to the 17-count indictment, the two men who are LGBTQ activists, performed oral sex on both boys, forced the children to perform oral sex on them, and anally raped their sons, according to Townhall.

The abused 11-year-old son suffered injuries from being brutally raped.

According to the criminal affidavit, the dads filmed the child sex abuse and stored the graphic content on their cell phones.

It gets worse…

The gay couple solicited other men to “perform an act of prostitution” with their 11-year-old adopted son.

Police Raid Pro-Palestine Students’ Home in FBI-Led Graffiti Investigation

In the early morning hours of November 7, more than 12 police officers showed up outside at an address in Springfield, Virginia, knocked, broke down the door, and raided the family home of two Palestinian American students at George Mason University.

University and Fairfax County police refused to show the family the warrant. One Fairfax County detective with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force — cross-designated as a local and federal agent — was also present. The family and Mason faculty supporting them, however, believe they know what the FBI-led investigation was about: the young family members’ pro-Palestine activism.

Two of the Palestinian American family’s daughters attend George Mason. One is an undergraduate student and the co-president of Mason’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. The other is in a master’s program at Mason and a former president of the school’s SJP chapter.
