4 companies in the USA control all of the brainwashing, I mean, television in the USA. I remember a movie called UHF which had a sub plot line about a company owning more than 1 TV station in the same town! Ha! 4 companies now own ever TV station in Amerika!

No one dare question the government now on the air waves and according to lazy good for nothing journalists (all of them), you lose the one and only source of news anywhere!
UHF is one of my favorite movies. Gotta love Weird Al! ;)

I think Snowden was quoted as saying it's more like Kafka than Orwell, but then even he might be fake.

Perhaps not such a big problem after all. Still, losing Russia's contribution in the middle of winter would be a problem...

"The EU has diversified its sources of gas considerably since the 1990s. More than 80 per cent of the growth in imports now comes from countries other than Russia - especially Norway, Algeria, Nigeria and the Middle East.

Dependence on Russian gas almost halved in less than two decades, declining from 61 per cent in 1995 to 34 per cent in 2012."

Emphasis mine. Russia still provides more than 20% of Europe's natural gas.
