LOCK HER UP: Candace Owens Must Go to Prison
By any objective reading of the law, Owens should have been in an interrogation room or a holding cell months ago. Yet, she continues to walk free, shielded perhaps by her marriage into British peerage or her connections within certain religious hierarchies.
For months, we have witnessed Candace Owens, a figure who commodified the 'Black Conservative' brand, wage a rhetorical war against the bedrock of Western security.
The reality of the U.S.-Israel alliance has clearly become an intolerable weight for her to bear. Faced with the undeniable supremacy of the IAF and its unbreakable bond with the world’s most powerful military, Owens has pivoted from critique to sabotage.
By targeting the U.S. military from within, she has crossed the Rubicon from protected speech into criminal incitement. The law demands a reckoning."
The Call to Mutiny
While authentic Catholics and faithful Protestants cherish the sacred, historic bond with Zion, Owens has chosen to feast on the bones of discord. Her descent has been marked by a reckless disregard for the spiritual foundations of the West, but her most recent transgression is not merely theological, it is a fatal tactical blunder.
Nine months ago, Owens looked into her camera and issued a direct command to the American soldier: 'Get dishonorably discharged. Who cares? Who cares? Why should you go die in a foreign land?' In her hubris, she moved from being a critic to being a commander of mutiny.
The Severity of the Offense
To the uninitiated, a “dishonorable discharge” may sound like a workplace firing. It isn’t. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, it is the most severe punitive discharge and can only be imposed by a general court-martial after conviction for serious criminal offenses, including violent crimes, espionage, or desertion in wartime. A dishonorable discharge generally results in the loss of eligibility for most veterans’ benefits administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and carries a lasting stigma that can make employment and other opportunities more difficult in civilian life.
More importantly, 18 U.S. Code § 2387 is very clear:
Whoever, with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces of the United States... advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty... shall be fined or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
Above the Law?
By any objective reading of the law, Owens should have been in an interrogation room or a holding cell months ago. Yet, she continues to walk free, shielded perhaps by her marriage into British peerage or her connections within certain religious hierarchies.
While Owens hides behind the predatory trope of being a "victim of the Jews," her personal grievances provide no legal immunity. The law is concerned with a much grimmer reality: the active sabotage of the U.S. Military. By urging soldiers to abandon their duty, she has moved beyond "opinion" and into the territory of criminal subversion.
A Message to the Administration
President Trump has always campaigned on the sanctity of the American military and the absolute necessity of loyalty. If his administration is to be one of "law and order," it cannot allow a media personality to openly call for mutiny.
Freedom of speech does not grant the freedom to subvert military service. It is time for the Department of Justice to stop looking the other way. If a soldier is held to the highest standard of conduct, the woman urging them to disobey should be held to the standard of the law.
It is time to uphold the UCMJ. It is time to protect the troops. Lock her up.
