Nobody Knows—
Just when the government is going to take over the internet.
If you wonder why you are not noticing your freedoms being chipped away, let me say this: They get your eyes glued to a scandal, and then quietly pass a law that hurts us all while we’re busy talking about it.
They did this with the new US patent laws…did you know about that? That the US patent laws have now gone global? The big boys of all the big multinational companies now sit on the patent board?
Well no, Tiger Woods and his favorite sexual putter, was being splashed all over the TV.
And while we are going to be talking about Herman Cain’s sex scandals, on November the 20th, Obama is going to take over the internet, right before Thanksgiving…when all the Congress goes on break. Obamacare was passed the same way.
The Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Net Neutrality Act, passed last December, gives President Obama and the FCC power over the Internet. Every website you visit …every server you access … every blog you create … every bit of information you read … is about to come under the administration of the federal government. And, they can shut down any website they want, without judicial review! (Think about what happened in Egypt during the uprisings!)
Here’s another point that should bother us all:
The FCC Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd, is AGAINST freedom of speech! He is on-record PRAISING Hugo Chavez for shutting down private media companies. The Net Neutrality Act seems to be part of a larger effort by the Obama administration to exert power and speech restrictions over the entirety of the Internet, what you can see when you are on it, and how you access it.
They won’t do this Joyanna, you say?
Well, just watch them. Â Call your Senators and complain, and pray that good men stand up.
Before Joanna comes around from her faint, may I say “ditto’ Emely. I hope you can join me more often responding to one of the wittiest and insightful women I have the pleasure of knowing.
Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how very much you can take away from anything simply because of how visually beautiful its. Youve put together a terrific weblog space great graphics, videos, layout. This is absolutely a must-see weblog!
Hmmmm. let us not be parochial here, Joyanna. The Oz Gov also wants control over the net AND newspapers, blogs, what have you. It is not ‘Obama’ but a leftist mindset. He is just your local rep. The UK has its own movements toward censorship, along with much of Europe. The ‘East’ and far North of course have had State control of speech for as long as any of us can remember.
It is a perennial battle. It is one small part of the ‘Good vs Evil’ plot that has driven human development since time immemorial.
The internet scared the pants off totalitarian governments and democracies alike. But remember that the Internet itself was ‘gifted’ to the world by American ingenuity and generosity – even though several Englishmen were responsible for its creation !!
In Oz the Government has a list of forbidden websites. But no-one is allowed to see it.
Yes, the “liberal fascism” is well spread throughout the universe, and it’s sitting on all our mustaches. No one is allowed to see the forbidden websites? Well, I knew it was happening all over Europe and the Middle East, China, but OZ? The good guys are losing again Mate. I’m now going to go plan an invasion. (LOL) After I feed my dogs of course.
