I agree with the US "no rights for non citizens" notion being total BS. About walling off the internet, China has proven it can be done, and recent news confirms that it is not stupid and both China and other countries who are doing their best to reduce Google and Facebook type US megacorp/military/intelligence inroads to their society are not without reasoning. Even Russia is getting in on it now. China has shown the way and achieved a pretty serious division from western-dominated internet services... the services persist, but the volume of blackmail-capable and social network information around the society's leading figures that is being stolen by foreign intelligence services is probably markedly reduced by this strategy. It's solid, as proven by the NSA revelations.

Meanwhile, Eric don't be evil Schmidt goes on a "personal visit" to North Korea at the behest of the State Department (cough) Council of Foreign Relations, from where his girlfriend hails, and run by the same dynastic wealth schmucks screwing the US citizens from within their borders.

Ahh, business as usual. Petty, petty humans! May all beings find their peace :)
