Knowledge has always been dangerous to the elite. Just look at how the Roman Church resisted the scriptures being translated into common languages. The internet threatens those in power because it levels the playing field. The secrets that Wikileaks exposed were not protesting us. They were protecting those in power that are doing evil in the name of our country.
Right now the enter net is a door that the word of good can go through but it is one that won't satay open long. Lets work while it is day because night is coming.
Dan 12:4
4 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."
(NIV)
