Are you a president with approval ratings lower than a midget with a bad back? Never fear, the Espionage Act is here to help.
With the aid of this exciting tool, you too can prosecute your political enemies just like a former KKK president. Proven reliable for over 100 years, the Espionage Act is tailor made for inventing and selectively finding crimes by political opponents or just guys you don’t like, and launching fishing investigations to find or manufacture new crimes they can be investigated for.
Join us on this exciting new episode where we delve into the history of the Espionage Act, Woodrow Wilson’s torrid romances and what he has in common with Joe Biden.
Learn more about the Espionage Act in today’s article, “Trump is Charged Under a Law Meant to Suppress Political Opposition.”
Wilson, like Biden, might have also been thinking of using the Espionage Act to cover up his own corruption.
For nearly a decade, Wilson had been conducting a secret affair with another woman. Fearful of discovery, he sent her thousands of dollars, a fortune by today’s standards, and drafted a partial admission of guilt. Wilson had called for the Espionage Act earlier that year which would give his administration the authority to censor the mail. It would have been a convenient means of suppressing revelations about his affair that might have damaged his reelection campaign.
Fortunately for Wilson, former President Theodore Roosevelt, his 1914 election opponent, had dismissed the idea of exposing the affair. “No evidence could ever make the American people believe that a man like Woodrow Wilson, cast so perfectly as the apothecary’s clerk, could ever play Romeo,” Roosevelt, a barrel-chested man of action, had sneered.
By 1916, Republicans, stuck with the uninspiring candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes, appeared ready to take off the gloves and were trying to aggressively get hold of Wilson’s letters. The version of the Espionage Act that allowed Wilson to censor the mails, but not the press, may have been a compromise to protect the use of the ‘nuclear option’ of the affair.
Biden, likely unknowingly, followed in Wilson’s footsteps by deploying claims of foreign election interference to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.
Great history, thanks Daniel!!!
At one time maybe 40+ years ago I delved a little into WW1 propaganda. It was incredibly vicious, even by today’s standards.
Alien and Sedition Acts, early in our history, revealed official fear of press freedom.
Yes, and these acts were passed during the administration of the great John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers and arguably the best-versed legal mind among them. Disturbing.
The great majority of Americans know very little about World War I. For instance, the United States arrested more than two thousand Germans living in the United States and held them at two U.S. military bases without charge. America’s first interment camps.
Perfect!

Good government is not an accident. One has to bully the public, fool them, trick them, do that’s best for them in spite of their ignorant protests.
In the end, just take the money. Screw’em. They’re idiots.
Thank you……………………..
WW was a venal and ideological bastard who thought the Constitution was outdated. In the 16th and 17th Amendments he found the beginning of its end by creating the endless, unfettered power of the Bureaucratic State.
That same power lives on to today, but of course, in the hands of another and far worse satanist formerly known as Barry Soetoro, then Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Jr. and now Jobama, No one asked questions then. No one dares to ask questions now.
I could not care less what happens to either the lizards in the Biden mask or Trump that lets them rape Americans for tech.
Masked lizard rapists? Is this a local phenomenon, or has the State Department issued a travel warning?
