Totalitarian governments would prefer that the people have only one source for news and information.  They abhor the idea of exposing the people to a variety of competing ideas and a wide spectrum of information.

This should inform people everywhere, but most especially Americans as to who is really supportive of individual freedom, from those who merely pay the idea "lip service".

It should be obvious that to maintain a free society we need to be tolerant enough to allow the widest variety of ideas to be presented to the public. A public informed enough to choose wisely between competing ideas, with the help of open discussion.

All of which tends to make ruling all but impossible and requiring that the leadership govern instead. But, alas, people get lazy and take things for granted. They lose the "eternal vigilance" needed to keep those would be oligarchs at bay. And almost before you know it, you're being given reasons why you should be listening to fewer and fewer sources for your news and information. Unsurprisingly you will find that the news sources approved of are sources whose content is strictly controlled. 

Identify and eschew the minions of totalitarianism.

Colbert Meets A Religious Liberty Task Force Special Agent

Erin Burnett: Mueller's star witness spills the beans

The difference with spycraft today.

The difference with intelligence work today is, where yesterday the concern was with stealing each others secrets, today the focus is on gaining control of government operations and controls and/ or interfering with same.

What make intel operatives so potent is the fact that, when these people decide what to do, they have way more resources and finances than the citizens they may want to target.

Let's face the fact that by having an extremely capitalist society, where people figure their value or worth in terms of how much money they have. Well, it's truly hard to see why quite a number of people would be willing to do just about anything for pay.

That creates a very serious collection of problems for any society that hopes of preserving individual rights, you know, the very thing that made America famous.
While we know that everyone likes being free, there are few if any reason why the masses require freedom over the short term.  History shows that, although people will rebell after their rulers become excessively dspotic, their tolerance of totalitarianism is high enough as to be almost indistinguishable from being their preferred form of governance.  At least this is what we are learning from the way America is playing out its hand.  Choosing the comfortable story rather than the harsh and less palatable truth, is the path to dictatorship, always.

Trump is a symtom of a dying democracy. Leading, as he does, a party that values a "win-at-all-cost", strategy. Damming the carefully devised rules that allowed us all to unite behind a Constitution that gave us a common cause.  To now rip up the rules and pass laws that foment division, increasingly centralize power in ever fewer hands of unqualified people. That is a sur fire recipe for disaster of democratic republics everywhere.
