Putin's War on the Internet

In two extraordinary developments this month, former National Security Agency Director General Keith Alexander and former CIA Director of Operations Jack Devine launched all-out assaults on U.S. traitor Edward Snowden, accusing him of being a Russian agent. Meanwhile, even as he launched his own assault on Russia’s smaller neighbors, Vladimir Putin began to implement a Final Solution for Russia’s Internet and thanked Snowden very kindly for inspiring it.

 

In an op-ed for Politico, Devine opined that Snowden was likely a Russian agent, calling him a “narcissistic, often delusional under-achiever” who was obsessed with a fantasy world of video games and whom the Russians “could hope to turn into [a] loose-lipped source.”

 

 
And Alexander was right behind him, telling The Australian Financial Review that “I think he is now being manipulated by Russian intelligence. I just don’t know when that exactly started or how deep it runs. Understand as well that they’re only going to let him do those things that benefit Russia, or stand to help improve Snowden’s credibility. They’re not going to do things that would hurt themselves. And they’re not going to allow him to do it.”

 

As if to confirm it, Putin launched an all-out war on the Russian Internet in Snowden’s name, claiming it was Snowden whose revelations made these actions necessary, and Edward offered nary a word of protest in response. Likewise, Snowden mouthpiece Glenn Greenwald was silent on the Putin crackdown. 

 

If you think I am being hyperbolic in using the term “all-out war” you have not heard about Andrei Lugovoi. He’s the KGB agent most believe was responsible for the assassination of neo-Soviet dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. In response, Russia did not just refuse to extradite Lugovoi for trial (or to try him in Russia) but gave him pride of place in parliament. Now, his next hit job is to liquidate Russia’s answer to Google, the Yandex website that lies at the heart of the Runet. And Putin’s flunkies have also put the word out that Twitter is in the Kremlin’s cross hairs as well.
