Timothy Alexander Guzman, Global Research -"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety," that was a quote from Benjamin Franklin on the dangers of giving up your freedoms so that you can feel somewhat safe. Trump once called on the US Congress to cancel FISA because it targeted him, "Kill FISA, It was illegally used against me, and many others, they spied on my campaign." Now, Trump wants congress to reauthorize 'FISA section 702' (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) which allows the CIA, NSA, FBI and other agencies to spy on overseas communications involving US citizens without a warrant, but Trump changed his tune when he recently wrote on his Truth Social that "I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country!" and that "We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN!" This is sort of a "Rules for thee, but not for me" moment for Trump.
