John Kerry: 'This Little Thing Called the Internet ... Makes It Much Harder to Govern' "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 ' ;D
Well Mr. Kerry, that is why you all get paid so much more these days!
And your wrong on several points here, Mr Kerry.
However....Thought this was very telling,
and hilarious at the same time.....

"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 said to a gathering of State Department employees and their families.
"And we sometimes say to ourselves, boy, aren't we lucky," Kerry continued.
"Well, folks," he said, "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.
"It makes it much harder to govern, makes it much harder to organize people, much harder to find the common interest," said Kerry, "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."

America as a nation, started as a reaction to a country trying to advance it's interests through 'unfair' taxes.

Seems like Kerry doesn't like those 'forces' having a voice.

[much harder to organize people, much harder to find the common interest] > Straight out of the NSA play book :)
[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] > Yes, it's the present US Government.

I'm seeing it, Burn. I'm seeing it >:(
i see it too but its actually worse now than when fb was the wild west.i had contacts all over the world.i felt like i had my finger on the pulse of the world.thats how i figured hillary and could almost call her moves before she did them.once you see the world with the light on.the darknest doesnt hold the power over you it had before.im glad im not the only one that knows how these folks work.
now spookz is almost dead.breitbart hanging on by its nails.rt is like fox .slanted but some truth.
i can still see whats going on but the picture is fuzzy because of the giant wave of shills muddying the water.
You must try to be always cheerful and peaceful. Then only you will have concentration of mind. The practice of friendship with equals, compassion towards inferiors or distressed persons, complacency towards superiors or virtuous persons, and *indifference towards sinners or wicked persons* will produce cheerfulness or serenity and destroy hatred, jealousy, and dislike.
-- Concentration (http://dlshq.org/teachings/concentration.htm), Sri Swami Sivananda. Emphasis mine.
John Kerry, in my mind, is one of those individuals who is sufficiently evil, that placing mental focus on him, can actually be psychologically and/or spiritually damaging to those who think about him.
As a result, I generally choose to try not to think about him at all.
to me that is head in the sand.i choose to keep one eye on my work and another on the chaos and order around me.to turn a blind eye to kerry and the other trouble makers is just asking to get hurt.same way on a construction site and working around idiots.
but i do direct some psych energy towards hope for his failure as long as innocents die.secret courts should not justify death warrants and any one who does is an enemy of all i stand for.
Sounds like Kerry wants the dictators back and the internet dead. Sounds like he's snivelling that his job is too hard.
Where does the government find these people? And he wanted to be president?! ::)
"It makes it much harder to govern, makes it much harder to organize people, much harder to find the common interest,"
i could finish it this way
and that's why we need to gather every little bit of info on them that we can
so that we can herd them into the lines of thought we want
seperate them into groups controled as we see fit
all while letting them think they are participating
blah blah baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
WELL, I will agree with Kerry for a change....................the internet definitely does make it harder to govern!!! Absolutely.............when a governmnet governs through lying, deceit, and self interests of it leaders. The internet is there, as an open forum, and that makes it way more difficult to govern. The day is long gone wherein the government can just do a thing, or say a thing, and expect everythng to be hunky-dorry, with the people. The internet does give we the poeple the tools needed to press our government for absolute truth, and explanations for what when and where. ie, Bengazhi lies lies lies and coverups, Fast and Furious, IRS. NSA/CIA, denial of public and Constitutional law, community organizing, birth certificates, idiotic foreign policy, Breitbart, Hastings, Journalists, etc. etc. etc. etc..
Yes, that is a lying cheap politician's (Kerry's) view - it is harder to "govern" with the internet, when "governing" is un-American, and not by and for the people.
