Internet Control

The G8, including King Barry, are meeting and at the top of their agenda? Reign in uncontrolled spending? The economies of their countries? Nope, it's how to regulate the internet.
The free exchange of information is something that has to be brought under government control, it threatens the power and perks of the elites and ruling class.

It has been the fault of both pacifism and liberalism in the past that they have ignored the immense burden of inherited evil under which society and civilization labour and have planned an imaginary world for an impossible humanity. We must recognize that we are living in an imperfect world in which human and superhuman forces of evil are at work and so long as those forces affect the political behaviour of mankind there can be no hope of abiding peace.

It worked in Egypt and Libya. In order to have effective "community organization" you must control the flow of information. That way the "enemies" intel is disrupted and makes it difficult for him to command and control any resistance. Barky is big on community organization, information control and enemies lists...

Socialsits, statists, dictators and despots their aims are the same, it's just they ascribe different motives to the aim of ultimate control over every aspect of the peoples lives.

Well,

I think in a cashless society its probably more about being able to control the money, but hey I'm a cynic.

I believe organizations like the G8 smell a buck to be made by regulating the internet as sales are becoming a larger part of consumer purchases and free from most taxes.

From a political perspective, social networking can make or break a leader if not a government. Obama used this to his advantage and perhaps he now want to regulate it.

Politicians bewarned to stay out of our freedoms or start looking for a real job.

As Jeff Cooper used to always say, the reason politicians are terrified at the thought of AKs/ARs/etc in the hands of the average citizens is because they are afraid one day they would be used against them. The same thing applies to freedom of information on the internet to combat government propaganda.
