We read:
"The Obama administration is seeking domestic and worldwide control of the Internet. After the July Wikileaks disclosure of 77,000 classified Afghan war documents and its planned release of 15,000 more, the U.S. wants that control bad –and fast.
The danger from the proposed regulation is not merely to your privacy, security, and civil liberties. Two specific measures would restructure how the Internet works in an attempt to place centralized and almost unlimited control in the hands of the U.S. government. First, in the name of preventing copyright infringement, the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (pdf; also known as the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA, Act) would give the government absolute control of the root authority, or top-level worldwide domain registrar. The Act is currently before Congress.
Second, in the name of preventing terrorism, an “e-wiretap” bill aims at establishing government-mandated “back doors” in all communications systems. That bill is currently being drafted.
These controls would be in addition to the so-called 90-day “kill switch,” one of a slew of other Internet proposals coming from the Obama administration. In times of national emergency a president could block Internet traffic and shut down industries that don’t follow government orders.

While the U>S. controls a significant portion of the Internet, this could easily backfire if other countries follow suit. If the U.S. pisses off enough countries that are similarly equipped, the U.S. could very quickly get cut off from other countries.
It always amazes me how quickly a government can f*ck up a things.

I'm not at all surprised that the Marxist-in-Chief would go to this extreme to pay back his communist friends and supporters in the entertainment industry. It's something they've lusted after for a long time.
And while he's giving this gift to his Commiewood pals, he's also achieving his basic ideological goal, and that is, having "total" control over every aspect of our lives. If this does happen, it will prove beyond any doubt, that we are now "officially" a nation of weak, mindless, sheep.

And so the Socialist program rolls on. Enjoy the right to express your opinion openly. Soon it will be gone.
Unless November gives us a break.

Remember the howls of righteous indignation when Bush wanted to wiretap terrorists?
Man, what a difference 2 years makes.
NOW it's perfectly ok with the left wing commie Marxists bastards to restrict your free speech.
Bush wanting to listen in on terrorists phone calls=BAD!
Obama wanting total control over the entire internet to listen in on ALL call and ALL e-mail and be able to view EVERYTHING we do on the net = GOOD!
Never in my life have I seen so much hypocrisy in action!
I guess the left’s mantra is true, free speech for me but not for thee!
