I think a quick review of the U.S. government’s COINTELPRO program shows that all of the Chinese government’s statements are completely plausible. There are realms of FBI files to show our tax dollars at work.

Remember the U.S. govt sending leadership of different political factions in the U.S. letters accusing their competing faction’s leader of adulterous relationships and trying to stir up deadly violence? Read more at: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Fascism/End_Of_America.html

The FBI regularly engages in massive media campaigns to discredit activists–even ones who have been murdered or their agents have attempted to murder: http://www.thehighroad.us/archive/index.php/t-78574.html

Hillary Clinton couldn't even track her own husband, and she's purporting to dictate to the world how to live and what to do? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Get real. She has the balls (literally) to stand up and pretend to fight Internet censorship when this post is being pulled off US and UK websites quicker than you can say "Monica Lewinski"?

Hillary Clinton hosted a Secretary of State dinner for Google not too long ago, spending tons of mental energy and taxpayers' non-existent money on who's allowed to see what, where and when online, when we've got a neighboring Nation experiencing the worst natural disaster in history shows the true colors of our current US leaders and what they are focusing on. No respect for the people and lives lost in Haiti, to stand up in the middle of it all with the "Clinton Doctrine" in the middle of that nightmare. God help us all.

I actually agree w/ the last quote. Yes that last quote is disturbing, but the it's disturbing because it is true of any government - western or otherwise. Freedom is an pretty illusion.

Look what has happened in the US w/ our constitutional rights in the last 9 years. Warrant-less wiretapping, jailing people w/ out charge, SEC saying bailout information is a 'state secret', etc. Do you think these same logics/actions are not being applied to the internet here in the US?

Not to mention Comcast/Warner throttling and the beginning of tiered internet access...

Look at what is happening in other Western countries... Australia: government mandated Internet filtering... UK: unbounded monitoring online and offline...

'Internet Freedom' is a joke. The crazy thing is that China - China of all countries - has the guts to say the punch line...
