The United Nations is considering whether to set up an inter-governmental working group to harmonise global efforts by policy makers to regulate the internet.

The U(seless) N(itwits) was the brainchild of the communist Stalin-lover FDR.

A major reason we should get out of it ASAP and kick their meddling fannies out of the USA.

“They want to stop WikiLeaks before Assange releases something that could take down the UN.”

or the banks perhaps?

Woodrow Wilson came before the UN. And so did the League of Nations.

John D. Rockefeller was there before all of them and he created them all, he just lost the league to the US Senate, so he came back with an even better idea in the UN. The Rockefeller's donated the land the UN Building sits on and his other organization (besides Standard oil/Exxon/Mobile) was the driving force behind all of it: The Council on Foreign Relations. Of course he had considerable help from his lackey the mysterious Colonel Edward Mandell House who was Wilson's literal "Handler" and of course the other elite families like the Morgans (James Pierpont) and others.

This is all by design. Keep watching TV including Al Waleed’s Fox because TV keeps the kenyan usuper in power.

Dude, really.

It's getting old. Really old.

You come across as an obsessive-compulsive disorder victim.

But, Wilson was right on one score. He said that the Treaty of Versailles was a huge mistake that would leave an embittered, vengeful Germany.

“Reichstag fire.”

Yes, it’s all too coincidental otherwise. We got the intimate pat-downs/naked scanners for the same reason.

Same with computers in general. It used to be that only technically-capable individuals could use them. “Why can’t I get any sound out of this game? Oh right, it’s on the wrong IRQ.” (pulls cover off and moves jumper on sound card). Maybe those days could be annoying, but it kept out the riffraff.

“Then the net exploded and EVERYBODY jumped on. Social networking is one of my personal peeves. Why the ding-dong do I want EVERYONE knowing where I am and what I’m doing?”

Yes, what happened were that nitwits started using computers and then you had this sort of thing: “OMG liek will u b redy 2 go shopping with me GF?”

“In any case I’m predicting a coming bust in net usage - at least in the US - similar to what happened to CB.”

So you’re saying that when the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, a meteorite will hit the Earth and wipe out all computers made after about 1995. And then we return to using Windows 3.0 and Compuserve.

I appreciate the conveniences of today’s PCs, but if it had to come down to that, I could live with it.

Rats and cock roaches always hate it when the light is shined on them.

obama can’t find is way out of a paper sack. Do you really think he’s directing this? He’s clueless, the one-world government hacks are promoting it. The US election threw them a wrench. It’s imperative we continue to fight this. They are all for a one world government, bottom line. OMG, president of the World? That’s orgasmic. And you all can laugh, but it all points to that objective.
