You've made some very valid observations and analysis in this post.
Mind control, yes. Communication restrictions, yes. A new "Steel Curtain is in the making."
Personally, I think our common enemy right now is the most powerful country in the world, number one : US, simply because it is doing everything it can to maintain its power and influence... and to do that, best way is to divide and weaken all the other rivals. That's exactly what the US has been doing for the past years. Europe shot itself in the foot, and keeps shooting. There's nothing good to say about Russia too ; it has no government, no democracy, and is deprived of many other things as well; a gang of thieves stole all the power, and theres a dark imperial legacy too :( they won't agree to give people a peaceful and wealthy life — no, no, no, never ever!
