MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called the Internet a CIA project and made comments about Russia's biggest search engine Yandex, sending the company's shares plummeting.

The Kremlin has been anxious to exert greater control over the Internet, which opposition activists — barred from national television — have used to promote their ideas and organize protests.

Frankly, I’m beginning to get worried about Putin’s mental state.

For a government, the only answer is to actually have the right goals, i.e., Biblically. It won’t be “perfect”, but if it’s really trying to head in the right direction, the opposition in that case is bad guys, not good guys.

And then the good guys of government and the good guys outside of government (private citizens) just need to keep working towards the good. They both have to keep working towards getting right with God (for real, not just show).

The laws have to move towards being compatible with Scripture.

The laws have to be enforced.

Over time, “scoundrelism” will decrease.

The more it does, the more people will be content with government, and reject opposition to it.

If a government isolates their country from the internet, it will simply lower its citizens’ opinions of government.

Well that ain’t gonna happen. Obama can’t wait to give UN control to the UN One World Government.

Once all of us stop pretending that the US is supposed to be a sovereign state, the sooner we will realize what is happening. Turning the US over to the world was the major part of the plan. We are to be as poor and messed up as the rest of the world.

It is happening and it is now. We are to share our money, work, food, energy, all that we have worked for, to the World.

Unless this is stopped. it is over.

He was indirectly over the CIA for a while but I don’t know that he actually did anything.

Are you referring to Bush I’s New World Order plan? We are not sharing with the world, we are sharing with the world’s super rich.

Didn’t you know that only the rich matter? Obama does.

Sheeple get the scraps they dole out if we are good boys and girls.
