Apparently our less than impressive Secretary of State, John Kerry-Heinz, who I believe spent a VERY brief, yet VERY personally rewarding time in Vietnam, seems to be of the opinion that the internet makes it just a bit to easy for us common folk to keep somewhat of an eye on him and his sleaze-bag cohorts there in Washington. What he actually said was that it "makes it harder to govern." Now I ask you, what Democrat alive today has even the slightest bit of interest in actually ‘governing?’ Anyway, it was while speaking to State Department personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil, on Tuesday, that Kerry-Heinz was heard to say that "this little thing called the Internet ... makes it much harder to govern." He also said that "ever since the end of the Cold War, forces have been unleashed that were tamped down for centuries by dictators."
"I’m a student of history, and I love to go back and read a particularly great book like [Henry] Kissinger’s book about diplomacy where you think about the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the balance of power and how difficult it was for countries to advance their interests and years and years of wars," Kerry-Heinz said to a gathering of State Department employees and their families. Ok, let's be real here, shall we, the only thing that this boob is a student of, is how best to get rich quick without having to actually work for your money. And that would be, of course, to move in on some rich widow and to then simply ‘acquire’ her millions of dollars that were actually earned by someone else. But I digress, Kerry-Heinz continued blabbering, "And we sometimes say to ourselves, boy, aren’t we lucky." From whose perspective might he be speaking from, I wonder.
He went on to explain his rather idiotic point by saying ,"Well, folks, ever since the end of the Cold War, forces have been unleashed that were tamped down for centuries by dictators, and that was complicated further by this little thing called the internet and the ability of people everywhere to communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one day than most people can process in months or a year." So I'm not sure whether, in this particular instance, he views that as being a good thing, or a bad thing. I mean, isn't a good thing when people can gain for themselves information that will assist them in getting rid of a dictator? But as we all know, guys like Kerry-Heinz view people possessing information, especially information that they themselves have not either played a part in creating or been allowed to manipulate, as being a very dangerous thing.
Then Kerry-Heinz got to what I guess was his real point, saying, "It makes it much harder to govern, makes it much harder to organize people, much harder to find the common interest." Adding, "and that is complicated by a rise of sectarianism and religious extremism that is prepared to employ violent means to impose on other people a way of thinking and a way of living that is completely contrary to everything the United States of America has ever stood for. So we need to keep in mind what our goals are and how complicated this world is that we’re operating in." So what's this moron really saying here? I mean, I think that we have all known, and for some time now, that Barry and his team of thugs have been quite determined in their efforts to find a way to restrict our access to the internet. And their motives for doing so are questionable to say the least.
So judging by his comments here, I would think it safe to say that Kerry-Heinz is far from being a big fan of this creation of Al Gore's remaining so easily accessible to we the common folk. The desire here, to place limitations on that access, is not based, as Kerry-Heinz would like us to all believe, on anyone's being better able to combat the rise of the sectarianism and religious extremism to which he refers. Instead it's to work toward the goal of being able to keep the American people as much in the dark as is humanly possible about what it is that their government, and therefore corrupt politicians, like himself, might be up to. The internet serves at being the primary source of information for a great many people, myself included. Information that the American people can then use to hinder, as best they can, the style of governance currently being employed by those we have in power.
