Rand Paul Looks to DISMANTLE This Tool of The Deep State

According to a report by Axios, Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, took to Twitter over the weekends and recommended doing rid of the Espionage Act, which is a favored tool of the national security state.

Paul tweeted, “The espionage act was abused from the beginning to jail dissenters of WWI. It is long past time to repeal this egregious affront to the 1st Amendment.”

A piece that was written by the Future of Freedom Foundation and focused on the Espionage Act was included in Senator Paul's tweet.

The argument presented in the FFF article is that the Espionage Act is a holdover from World War I.

According to an article published by USA Today, the act illegalized gathering information, taking photographs, or copying details of all material essential to national defense with the aim for such information to be used against the United States or for the interest of other countries.

According to USA Today, the Espionage Act was utilized to explain the raid that took place at Mar-a-Lago.

According to an article published in USA Today, Paul's argument likely included the desire to stop more attacks on prior presidents that were motivated politically. In spite of this, the FFF article suggests that the Espionage Act poses a greater threat than we would be led to believe by the way things are currently standing.

In the piece that Paul published, it was detailed how the Espionage Act made it possible for federal law enforcement and intelligence organizations to investigate Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. According to the information presented in the article, if the Espionage Act can be imposed against Assange for what he did, it can be mandated against anyone in the press for disclosing damaging inside information about the national-security establishment — that is, the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA.

The public is likewise subject to the Espionage Act's ability to prosecute dissidents, which was originally granted to the federal government under that act. During World War I, according to FFF's explanation, the law changed anybody who publicly questioned the draft… into felons.  And there should be no doubt about it: officials in the United States went after those responsible with a vengeance.

The politically motivated raid on President Trump was the fruit of the espionage act, and Paul seemed to be proposing that we should respond to the legislation, May you never produce fruit again! in response.

The preceding is a summary of an article that originally appeared on Headline USA.
