~~(note: This is the kind of action I have been writing about recently. The RT news, Sputnik and all alternative news sites that do not follow the mainstream, government approved narrative – could be shut down by the government. During a time of war, which we are approaching, it is important for a government to control the news going out to the public so they minimize any possible negative backlash. Not only can they pass a draconian law against the free press, but they could also shut down the internet, twitter, and other sources of mass distribution of news. During that time people that do not obey the government could face arrest and conviction of any violations of that new law.
In fact, with an upcoming war against North Korea, it is very likely a sudden blackout of news will occur for a while, and then very close scrutiny of what the news sources are revealing. Keep in mind “the first casualty of war is the truth”. We must be prepared for that instantaneous shutdown of communication. George Eaton)
