This Friday, Russian lawmakers will vote on some of the harshest legislation in post-Soviet history
Meduza ^

Posted on 06/24/2016 9:21:49 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

If the legislation is approved (which is almost certain), Russia's authorities will gain the power to strip Russians of their citizenship, revoke the foreign travel rights of people convicted of reposting certain “wrong” content online, and access every single telephone conversation and email that crosses Russia's telecommunications lines.

These are basically anti-terrorism laws.

All these same things have been discussed in our country.

And people like Hasan get protected thanks to our infamous PC president.

Snowden is tweeting against it.

Somebody could be leaving Russia sooner than he thinks.

“If the legislation is approved (which is almost certain), Russia’s authorities will gain the power to strip Russians of their citizenship”

We’re doing that now, by diluting the citizenship of Americans, by flooding the country with Illegals and other Third World migrants. Their way is just a bit more targeted.

“revoke the foreign travel rights of people convicted of reposting certain “wrong” content online”

No-Fly List, but we go one further, you get on that by accessing the ‘wrong’ websites.

“..and access every single telephone conversation and email that crosses Russia’s telecommunications lines.”

Look up “Stingray”. And, of course, NSA.

“The authorities will be able to revoke Russians’ citizenship for working in international organizations.”

Hopefully Trump does the same, along with Israel, where they found these ‘organizations’ are gun-running and provide cover for terrorists.

Good for Russia. Sounds like they’re trying to hold their country together against some VERY NASTY enemies.

“Russians can lose citizenship, as well as their freedom, for failing to report certain crimes.

Article 205.6 criminalizes “failing to report a crime,” targeting people who don’t inform police about “persons who, according to known information, prepare, are carrying out, or will carry out” crimes in certain categories. “

If we passed this law, most of the Muslims in the country would have to go home...as they simply REFUSE to report terrorist recruiting and related activities.

It seems that some have lost sight of the fact that “freedom” doesn’t mean freedom for anyone and everyone. The real freedom to life and pursuit of happiness for the individual requires clear laws and boundaries for all.

There’s a muddle of misconception about “freedom” nowadays that’s leading to complete chaos and anarchy. Somebody has to make the decisions about what “freedoms” lead to the national good. Obama and his Administration have been making theirs for almost eight years now. They have certainly not been for the good of America as we know it and especially not for Christians. My freedoms and peace have almost come to an end because of the “freedoms” that a lawless America hating President has given to everyone opposed to the things I hold dear.

One thing hasn’t changed. Every one of the scum that Obama and his minions have given authority to act as they chose regardless of whom they offend will find that their freedoms (and more) will end at my property line. Perhaps that’s the true meaning of freedom but it comes with a steep price that most people today are unwilling to defend.
What kind of “freedom” is unbound by any laws? I’ll tell you. It’s the pure, unadulterated inclination to do evil.
We’re watching it play out right before our eyes but some want to turn away and act as if it isn’t happening rather than take steps to stop it. History repeats.

“It’s a form of imperialism.”

Let’s compare the results 25 years from now. Let’s see which countries still exist in their present form and which ones are end up Third World, or in Civil Wars, or dismembered. Let’s compare Russia to Western Europe and the US (assuming Trump loses) then, and we’ll see who’s on top.

We don’t even need to pass a law, most muslims would fail under Public law 414 and not be allowed here...

Until I hear different, I assume that these laws are to be directed against those who foment Islamic jihad. If so, they are good laws.

I with hold judgement until I learn more.

Actually they do. The second Chechen war was started by the FSB releasing terrorists. Assad is also doing the same buying oil from ISIS. And our critters in congress seem content to quash a rebelion similarly by bringing in “refugees.”

It seems the assassins have a market open for them for a long time.

You’re old enough to recall when Russia was the USSR, and you still have faith in the Russian government???

I wish I had your faith - you must be a saint at heart.

Times change. The US used to be the good guy, now we’re ruled by mohammedans, faggots, communists, globalists, black racists and aggressive atheists. Oh, and Mexican revolutionaries and drug cartels.

While Putin is curbing jihadis, laws against fags pushing their agenda, encourages Russians to have families and children, and puts Russia first.

Times change.

If Islam is not defeated the entire world is fooked to the max. Look at its history. The rational rest of the world needs to combine together and soundly defeat Islam.

I forgot to add feminazis and environazis. They are subsets of communists but very influential.
