A year after the start of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson addressed his message to Congress and warned that the âgravest threats against our national peace and safetyâ did not come from âother governmentsâ, but from âwithin our own bordersâ.
âCitizens of the United States,â Wilson continued, âborn under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life.â
Wilson, a notorious racist and a supporter of the KKK who had contempt for a wide variety of other peoples, likely had German immigrants, but not just them, in mind when he called for what would become the Espionage Act so that âwe may be purged of their corrupt distempers.â
âI need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with,â Wilson concluded.
While there were indeed pro-German terrorist conspiracies in those days, including the Black Tom bombing which damaged the Statue of Liberty and a plot to infect the countryâs horses, the Espionage Act of 1917 went far beyond prosecuting criminal activities. Wilson had sought, but not received, the power to censor the press, he did get the power to censor the mail.

When former President Trump was indicted under the Espionage Act, he was being targeted by a law that from its very inception had been created to suppress the political opposition. While elements of the Espionage Act were watered down over the years and only media hacks still quote âshouting fire in a crowded theaterâ as if it were standing law, that hasnât really changed.
Widely loathed by liberals and leftists, who were justly often the targets of it, the Espionage Act was mostly used against actual spies during the Cold War. That changed dramatically under Obama who dusted it off and used it to go after reporters and whistleblowers. A decade ago, the Obama administration used the Espionage Act to target FOX News reporter James Rosen.
The Espionage Act allowed Obama to use warrantless wiretapping to bust leakers who were in many cases acting as whistleblowers and trying to expose his administrationâs misconduct.
The abuse of the Espionage Act against reporters foreshadowed Russia-Gate. Having realized how useful the package of national security tools could be against political opponents in the press, the Obama administration decided to go ahead and use them against Trump.
When Obama and Clinton associates in the Justice Department targeted Gen. Flynn for conducting preemptive diplomacy for the incoming Trump administration, they explored using the Espionage Act and the Logan Act. The current charges against Trump are not an unexpected development, theyâre what Russia-Gate was always about.
Power corrupts. And once the Obama administration realized that it could use the Espionage Act to kill unfavorable stories in the media, it was obvious that its members would not stop until they had escalated to using it directly against political opponents from Gen. Flynn to Trump.

Biden, likely unknowingly, followed in Wilsonâs footsteps by deploying claims of foreign election interference to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.
The abuse of national security by Democrats to go after the political opposition is not a new phenomenon. Itâs been underway for over a century with the Espionage Act.
Charging Trump under the Espionage Act is no accident: itâs a proud tradition. Itâs also a deeply corrupt and illegal attack on the Constitution. But thatâs the function that the Espionage Act has served for over a century under Democrats. Corrupt megalomaniacal Democrats like Wilson, Obama and Biden use claims of national security to illegally investigate their opponents.
And whether itâs Wilsonâs affair with a married woman, Hunter Bidenâs harem of Uber prostitutes, or Joe Bidenâs money from China, the Espionage Act is a red flag for presidential corruption.
National security is legitimate when it protects Americans from foreign enemies, not when itâs used, as Wilson and Biden have, to target Americans under the facade of national security.
Commentary:
Kudos to Dan on his linking Joe Biden and is Maoist DSA Democrats to Woodrow Wilson also a Socialist Democrat.
In previous posts I've indicated that Wilson a Racist Democrat revived the KKK, returned America to racial segregation and was the father of today's Democratic Party.
Biden and Wilson are the two worst Presidents in history followed by Carter, the Espionage Act is unconstitutional created by Wilson and implemented by Obama and now Biden is political tyranny against America...
Consider every policy and agenda of Joe Biden and is DSA Democrat Party administration beginning Jan 21, 2021. Obviously, each have been designed for destruction of American Society, our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
