China sites bar prayers for Pope
p2pnet.net News:- Chinese sites have blocked prayers, blessings and other comment on the death of Pope John Paul II from being posted on the Internet, says an Agence France Presse report.
“While popular portals such as Sina.com and Sohu.com’s on-line discussion forums were flooded with messages about the pope Saturday, no messages could be seen Monday,” it says. “An official with Sohu.com confirmed the company had censored the comments, using sophisticated technology to allow only the writer to see his or her own comments.”
AFP says the Beijing police Net “management office” denied knowledge of the censorship, “but defended China’s practice of censoring the Internet”. It quotes an official as saying, “Based on the regulations from above, harmful information needs to be dealt with. China has religious freedom.”

“China has religious freedom.”
Except you can’t exercise, teach to others or even know other religions?
What exactly is that supposed freedom?
Maybe they have another definition for the word freedom?

This is exactly one of the reasons why we need a free worldwide ad-hoc network. When we control the infrastructure, it will be our wishes that are relevant, not the will of oppresive governemnts or cartels. I am working on putting together a research website right now. Hopefully, what we have learned from todays’ Internet can be used to prevent the pollution of our new network once we are able to get it going.

while the chinese message boards about the pope were censored, i just saw on NWO-controlled CNN that the chinese government openly conveys their condolences. but not one word – or question by the NWO-CNN interviewer – regarding the message board censorships.
apparently only the chinese govenment is allowed to speak openly about the pope and no wenstern news media is allowed to question that.
strange and stupid diplomatic politics games.
