1: They were charged with crimes under the treason act
2: They were properly charged with the crimes that they had committed - no supposedly about it, read the Proclamation that they ALL signed.
3: "The garbage that they colluded with the Germans is bollocks - they in no way supported Germany - their only contact with them was to take their weapons and nobody has ever attempted to show otherwise - not even you - you just accuse them of collusion."

Bollocks eh? The Military Council in contact with representatives of the German Government from November 1914 - was that bollocks? Somehow doubt it, it is a matter of historical record. Sir Roger Casements 1915 Ireland Report that he submitted to the German High Command - was that bollocks? Again a matter of historical record as is the German's rejection of it. Plunkett's journey to Germany in 1915 to assist Casement and procure German weapons - was that bollocks? The landing of Sir Roger Casement from a German submarine and his subsequent interception and capture immediately before the rising - was that all bollocks? The interception and scuttling of the arms ship Aud by the Royal Navy - was that all bollocks?

Who exactly were their "Gallant Allies" in Europe mentioned in the Proclamation Jom?

"if a man do levy war against our lord the King in his realm, or be adherent to the King's enemies in his realm, giving to them aid and comfort in the realm, or elsewhere"; Guilty as charged under the Treason Act 1351 and subsequent amendments, and executed accordingly.
