Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin has praised Russian authorities for not caving in to pressure from abroad, saying granting asylum to US whistleblower Edward Snowden would help prevent the establishment of a ‘global electronic prison camp’.
“It is encouraging news that Russia is demonstrating its independence in this case as it has in many others, despite the pressure” said the head of the Holy Synod’s Department for Relations between the Church and Society.
Vsevolod Chaplin added that the Snowden saga has been broadly discussed both on the domestic and international level, with Russia’s position potentially bolstering its image as a country upholding “the true freedom of ideals.”
The Russian cleric further argued that Snowden’s revelations confirmed the existence of a pernicious problem discussed by Orthodox Christians for many years – “the prospective of a global electronic-totalitarian prison camp”.

....”the prospective of a global electronic-totalitarian prison camp”.
Man, and all these years...religiously-speaking....I thought Satan was the number one threat. Guess I better go back to Baptist boot-camp.
global electronic-totalitarian prison camp”.
That is EXACTLY what I’ve felt ever since I first heard about the data mining and the huge facilities our ‘government’ has built to house this info.
We’re already in this ‘camp’ folks. Ain’t no getting out now.
Remember all the sucking up Obama did to Russia ?
Putin sure is poking him in eye.
The uncomfortable thought occurs in the current evil age, that the U.S.A. could be the wicked Babylon of Revelation. Prayers for God’s mercy are definitely in order.
But, isn’t this camp kinda like Stalag 13, where Klink pretended to be in charge, but Hogan and the guys could have left at any point? And who is Sgt Schultz in this scenario?
RE Putin:
Of course he is.
How can you show any respect to someone who kisses your *ss?
Biden ? Although he’s more of a true-believing Nazi.
Putin should send Obama a “Reset Boot” to symbolize how he is kicking his ass.
Exactly. Individuals are rapidly, willingly and sometimes unknowingly becoming electronically tethered by nefarious totalitarians who have myriads of agendas.
Got freedom?
BUMP
Putin made it very clear. We accept the asylum concept in the same way the USA does.....and neither country has EVER turned over an asylum refugee.
think of Satan as the warden of the global electronic-totalitarian prison camp.
That Russian Orthodox priest has it correct.
No, it's not.
It's like Stalag 17, where William Holden, who is a flawed character in his own right, nevertheless knows something ain't right, and Peter Graves is watching him and turns the other prisoners against him and they beat the hell out of him and almost kill him.
Will it have the same ending?
I have no idea.
Refreshing to read such commentary.
Russians do have a lot of experience with prison camps to offer us....
We have much more experience and right here on our own soil....as well as in countries where we’ve have/had forces.
What a phrase! Get this guy on an MSM talking head show.
