Here’s more from our correspondent in Stockholm. Network activism and digital democracy has gained new support from the Swedish Government. Swedish Minister for Development Assistance Gunilla Carlsson has opened the door for discussion on how Information and Communication Technologies, or ICT, can be used in the service of freedom of speech. [Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for Development Assistance]: “In order to be innovative in my political area I have to listen to them, learn from them and also to see how we can have good and great ideas.” Since 2009 the Swedish government has supported various ICT- related projects regarding democracy.

@sizzler 1 i was agreeing with you actually but was merely pointing out that the world is full of hypocrites . armies dont cause war ,its the people who control the system that cause them . the military only carry out orders . the system is fascist , the global system controlled by unelected bureaucrats and corporation (banks) are the power and influence behind every thing . money is the mechanism and tool of the system to enslave the minions , as every nation uses money ,which makes debt

I’m not sure what your awareness of real history is, but although ‘our’ troops and officers do care about fighting for the freedom of civilians – politicians have sent the troops to regions not based on the priority of securing civilian freedoms/ but instead what the politicians have perceived as the frontline buffer zone to fight a threat ‘over there’/ rather than over here.

@sizzler 1 freedom has always had to be fought for, complacency falls in with the good and just while the corrupt conspire through time and patients(3 steps forward 1 step back) to bring about a dictatorship. the control freaks are insecure and need power . the slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to ware a crown , he preaches for freedom and ends up wanting to control everyone else.
