Justin Raimondo — The Campaign To Rein In the Internet

It’s part and parcel of the “Russia-gate” hoax.…

The Powers That Be have always hated the internet, and now they’re finally making some progress in their campaign to have it reined in. Using the “Russia threat” and Hillary Clinton’s loss to appeal to those who used to be called “liberals,” they’re teaming up with neoconservatives like Bill Kristol and foreign-funded (!) outfits like the Alliance to Secure Democracy to achieve their longtime dream of regulating internet content. And they have powerful allies in the Legacy Media, which has suffered huge losses due to competition from free internet media.

The Russia-gate hoax has many uses – providing cover for a politically bankrupt and intellectually dishonest Democratic party: restarting the cold war; promoting the “liberal”-neocon alliance.

Message for Mike Pompeo: Americans are fed up with endless war. This is all about "taking our country back."

The US Deep State, including the military and military-industrial complex, realize that the US can only present a credible threat in bullying its "adversaries" (read all that refusal to be the American elites' bitch) if the American people are behind more war. This requires the construction and control of a consensus reality by controlling the narrative. Wikileaks is a threat to that.
