Of course the government wants total control of the internet. I mean who is so naive to not think that they do. Everything is about control and submission, they are the monopoly on force, they self-declared themselves to have total rights over everything.
So a government is essentially like a God, but a wrathful evil God like Seth. All the surveillance, the eye in the sky, the total control, makes to look the government like a deity itself that humans are worshipping. And unfortunately this time it's a real one.
So of course they want control over the internet. The @corbettreport basically revealed how they want to tax Facebook and other social media given how they are selling personal information to advertisers, which would theoretically be a taxable event. Since every valuable transaction can have a sales tax applied to it. It's mindboggling:
But this is not what I want to talk about. What I'm highlighting here is that they are trying to come over and control entirely the internet. Noam Chomsky basically said that the TPTB have figured out already that a population that is not under strict control, will eventually strive for freedom, and eliminate the oppressor.
They really really really don't want this to happen. The internet really makes people harder to govern, as John Kerry said.
The internet just gave people 1 power, 1 power only, that is unacceptable for the tyrant. The power to communicate with multiple people at once, on large scale. This is unacceptable:
- As soon as the printing press was invented, the king immediately issued a license, and only those given the license could publish. Everyone else was forbidden to do so.
- As soon as the radio was invented, government quickly started regulating the frequencies and radio spots available, and only allowed licensed radio hosts to talk.
- As soon as the TV was invented, only a government broadcast was available. Then later on they allowed "regulated" commercial broadcasts.
- And now the internet is available to speak your mind freely, and the government really really really really hates that.
So they already arrest people who post controversial things on Facebook:

YOU CAN ONLY SPEAK WHEN ASKED, YOU PEASANT SLAVE! GET YOUR LICENSE TO SPEAK SLAVE, OR ELSE WE THROW YOU IN A DUNGEON, CALLED "CORRECTIONAL FACILITY" !!!
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OUT AGAINST YOUR GOD, YOU BLASPHEMOUS SLAVE !!! ALL YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO IS TO WORK 16 HOURS A DAY AND PAY 90% INCOME TAX, EVERYTHING ELSE IS FORBIDDEN !!!
So this is the mindset of the control freaks. No freedom for you, but all freedom for them to dominate you. This is the tyranny of the 21 century. Not with whips, shackles and swords, but with guns, tax forms, and license certificates.
This is modern slavery. And it's getting more and more obvious. If they would not attempt to control the Internet, then the game would be over, and in 10-15 years freedom would win over tyranny.
But it's going to be a longer struggle, they are now coming for free speech platforms: Facebook, Google, you name it. And say what you want about them. I don't like them either. But as immoral as they are by selling personal data, the government is much much worse. They are doing the same thing essentially, but nobody is criticizing them for doing it, everyone still thinks that they are the saviors.
Well, the tyranny is here, it's obvious now. The question is, what are people going to do about it. Will they let themselves become total slaves, or will they resist?

Tyranny always bring misery, otherwise it wouldn't be a tyranny. Therefore it is not the question “will the people resist?”, but “when?”. Historically, when prices of food gets over 40% of income, revolutions start. Keep an eye on statistics.
There has to be another metric. I don't think this one is reliable anymore. The price of food is already cheap and they will just lower the quality of it to lower it's price with cancer causing GMO and pesticide.
The food price in the modern economy is not an issue anymore. So if this is your metric, then tyranny will stay forever.
And I am not even sure a revolution is beneficiary, you will probably get a military dictatorship after that, and the people will lose even the few rights they have now.
Prosecutions for racist hate speech in SA are rife. I abhor the hate speech and part of me is happy the perpetrators are punished BUT prosecutions are against one race group only. Hate speech from the other side is ignored.
Yes but most of it wasn't even hate speech. It was not like they were calling for violence or persecution.
They just mildly pointed out that some people were doing violence. But you are not even allowed to do that.
So "hate speech" is very very broadly defined, and basically they can charge anyone with it, who gets out of line. I already pointed this one out:
Great post
Upvoted
Thanks for sharing
Have a great weekend
I didn't know about the facebookpostprosecutions. This is bad!! Thanks for posting!
It's very real, and people get fined for far less things. Just try criticizing your local politician on facebook to your friends, there have already been cases in several countries where people were prosecuted for that.
Clear violation of human rights, no free speech, just totalitarian control disguised as democracy.
We already live in tyranny, people are just not aware of it yet, but slowly they are beginning to realize it.
Wow, it's scary! But it kind of wants to make me test it... However, I live in Portugal and the Portuguese are quite lazy, I wonder if they will notice anything.. I am curious if any incidents happened in my home country the Netherlands, which is so proud of their openness and freedom of speech.
That can only happen in Western World i believe.Not in 3rd World Countries.
Logistics and stuffs will piss them off.
Well they will just keep the 3rd world in permanent chaos and terrorism, like they do the middle east.
The 3rld world will play little role in their plans, except to extract resources from them, while the 1st world will be continually brainwashed with propaganda.
As an advocate of net neutrality goberment control of the internet is one of the scarier things that could happen. If they go and put a camera inside your house to watch you it would be a violation to your human rights, they need an order signed by a judge to even enter in your house without permission. For me my pc and my internet space is my house too, they have no right over it.
They probably already have a camera in your house:

Thank you for posting this!
I think it evident that the very first step in conquering America is to do away with Freedom of Speech. Control of the Internet, outlawing peaceful protest and as of late, censoring news outside of the corporate media is proof positive that the deep state is well on their way to successfully ridding us of our 1st Amendment rights; after which only leaves us with the 2nd and I pray it never gets to that point but sadly I think we are already there. Tyranny has been at our doorstep for a very long time and it saddens me that so many people I try and talk to seem to always exhibit Stockholm Syndrome...
We must rise up now, resist now and not for our sake but for the sake of our children
