Insight On Freedom. Socialist Regime Moves For Control of The Internet FCC will take first steps to control the Internet
It’s called “Net Neutrality.” Sounds fair, right? I mean -- that’s what the liberal-socialist democrats are all about, right? Fairness is their utmost priority, right? Why, they’d never do anything to limit the freedom of Americans … riiiiight?
If you believe all that, then prepare yourself for a rude awakening.
When a political movement intends to takeover a nation’s government, one of the very first things it absolutely MUST DO … is take control of that nation’s communications networks. It must be able to control access to communications if it expects its efforts to be successful.
I began warning readers that the Obama Regime would make an effort to take over the Internet from the early days of the Obama reign. It was as plain as the nose on my face that to make the fundamental change in America that Obama swore he would make, then he would have to gain control of the nations communications. There have been very few successful revolutions in modern history in which the broadcasting stations, networks, and newspapers were not first compromised, or taken over completely by the revolutionaries -- or just shut down.
The Internet is a “thorn in the flesh” of the liberal-socialists in the current American government. It gives them NIGHTMARES!
Conservative bloggers have been the cause of great consternation in the White House and the West Wing and even to those liberal-socialist senators and congresspersons on The Hill. They have been seething with anger at the ability of conservatives to get disseminate their message of Obama’s shadow government and his sub-rosa strategy to convert America to a European style socialist state, not only to Americans, but around the globe -- at the click of a mouse.
Their embarrassment when confronted by fellow socialist leaders in countries they favor, such as Venezuela and Cuba, is overwhelming. And they can bear it no longer!
So, they have decided they must make the initial step to grab control of the Internet and bring it to heel as a servant of the socialist regime of Obama.
Never mind that the courts have already told them the Federal Communications Commission has no authority to regulate the Internet. They are going to do it anyway. This is typical of the socialist Obama Regime. They have been ruling against the will of the American people since day one.
The National Journal reports, in an article by David Hatch and Eliza Krigman, the following: “The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission unveiled a new initiative today he said would preserve the openness of the Internet but that critics attacked on two fronts, with watchdog groups saying it watered down the Web's egalitarian roots and conservatives saying it opened the door to excessive regulation.”
The report goes on to say: “The proposal split the agency along party lines, with the five-member commission’s two GOP members quickly condemning it and setting the stage for a partisan vote that could draw a backlash next year from the GOP-controlled House.
“I strongly oppose this ill-advised maneuver. Such rules would upend three decades of bipartisan and international consensus that the Internet is best able to thrive in the absence of regulation,” wrote Robert McDowell, the FCC’s senior Republican.
GOP member Meredith Attwell Baker warned: “We do not have authority to act. The new majority of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has asked the commission not to circulate this order, and a clear majority of all members of Congress has expressed concern with our Internet policies. Whether the Internet should be regulated is a decision best left to the directly elected representatives.”
The report continues: “The fight over “network neutrality” has been brewing for years and has divided much of the telecom industry and Congress, with many conservative Democrats joining Republicans in opposition. While the topic may seem technical and obscure, it boils down to a question of whether the Internet remains an open platform in which every website is on equal footing, or whether fast lanes are established that grant priority treatment to websites and online services willing to pay for such privileges.” (You may read the entire article (HERE).)
I am convinced this is the “foot in the door” for which the Obama Regime has been searching. But it is all about “fairness” ... right? Allow me to ask this: How are conservative bloggers going to feel when they are ORDERED by the FCC to place links to opposing viewpoints, espoused by some left-wing socialist, on their blogs? Oh, its coming if the new Congress doesn’t bring the FCC to heel … and fast!
We suggest the US House of Representatives shut off all funding to the FCC until they back off their socialist scheme to control this nation’s communications via the Internet. Plus, we ask for a bill to be introduced in the House to make it unlawful for the FCC, the FTC, or any other government agency, to regulate the Internet.
It is time to speak up for freedom of speech, once again. It is time to defend the Internet from those who intend to take it over and, ultimately use it to champion socialist, left wing causes and spread their liberal-socialist venom into practically every home in America.
As in every war victory comes by winning one battle at a time. Do not deceive yourself. We are at war for the freedom of Americans. One of our most effective weapons is the Internet. We cannot allow it to be taken from us. I am convinced that is exactly what the FCC, under the Obama Regime, intends to do.
To the barricades! The war continues!
The left always uses nice sounding names for their nihilistic totalitarian programs. “Great society” “affirmative action” “minority set asides” “race norming” “war on poverty” “new deal” “universal healthcare”.
A brain-dead public hears “net neutrality” and says “oh, that’s just one of those government programs that will make life better”
so long to freerepublic.com
Yes indeed. And these monsters have pulled out all the stops and we American citizens who love God, family and country need to fight back against this hostile obamanation administration.
The Communist regime HAS TO SEVER the communication between Americans in order to take over completely. They are after the Internet and talk radio BEFORE starting illegally confiscating weapons and wealth.
In a continent, when union violence and government “enforcement” start in several places, We The People can’t warn others quickly without the Internet w/pictures to prove what’s happening and talk radio to report incidents of violence.
The Communists already started to shutdown domains BUT, they didn’t shutdown WookieLeak because 0b0z0 is responsible for and encouraging the destruction of our beloved country.
0b0z0 and the Communists worldwide will never forget that the US destroyed Communism and brought down the USSR.
Obama will never sign such a bill.
If ‘neutrality’ passes, we’ll have to wait two years and then pray for a nonRINO president that will overturn it...
“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.”
~Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during WW11
Why should a regime who can’t even keep secret State Department secrets safe, be trusted to make freedom of speech decisions about the media or the internet?
Wikileaks could actual be the pretext for such a takeover.
I think the point is that there will be no bill, that the policy will be enacted by order of the FCC without involving Congress. Yes, and it would be the end of Free Republic and most other websites of that sort. We’d probably end up going back to shortwave or something.
FCC HQ will become a target rich environment. Their leadership and staff are public record but will not remain so; find the names and locations now, and save them.
Thanks, melancholy.
That’s because the driving motivation for sheeperals is to feel good about themselves for being “liberals”.
The leftists use this to their advantage. They know they can not only get support from there base that DOESN’T WANT TO KNOW what the nasty little details are,
but that they can demagogue the issue with the rest of the public, as in “how can you NOT be for clean water and air?”

Wow, this is one of the worst. Net neutrality says nothing about "fairness" but the author goes straight there.
There has been a bill, and it said nothing about fairness doctrine. It strictly death with keeping the Internet open and protecting consumers from ISPs. It mostly mirrored the FCC proposals.
