FCC: You Won’t Know What’s In Net Neutrality Until We Force It Upon You
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/25/15 | Douglas V. Gibbs

Posted on 02/25/2015 5:22:39 PM PST by Sean_Anthony

Behind the 332 pages is the proposal by President Barack Obama to treat the internet like a utility, which would unconstitutionally seize federal power to regulate the Internet like a public utility

The power grab is on, and the Obama Executive Branch will keep it all under wraps until it is too late for you to protest against it. Such has been the tendency of the Obama White House for six years, but now the brazen tyranny is being pranced in front of us as if the hard left minions of President Obama are daring us to make a peep about it.

Republican FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has revealed in various media interviews that the regulations against Americans through Net Neutrality are provided in a 332 page internet regulation proposal that he has been disallowed to make available to the public. Pai says the provisions in the regulations being proposed are a “monumental shift toward government control of how the internet works.” According to Pai, the proposed regulations “micromanages virtually every aspect of how the internet operates (through the internet conduct rule), it opens the door in billions of dollars of new taxes (through fees based on the reclassification of the internet as a utility) on broadband that consumers are going to have to pay, it will lead to slower broadband speeds, it opens the door to trial lawyers filing class actions across the country, litigation isn’t usually the best way to ensure innovation, and there are a whole host of harms that are going to happen.”

Don’t worry. I’m sure the GOP majority in Congress will put a quick stop to this nonsense. (sarc)

I was in debate with a liberal on facebook over this. He was all for the great white shining government knight riding in to protect us from the big bad for profit corporations because what those corporations MIGHT do to the internet in the future.

unconstitutionally seize federal power

And that's what Lord 0bama has been about since the beginning of his reign. Tyranny is justly deserved by those who refuse to fight it.

Tell him that if you ever met him you wouldn’t shake his hand because he might contract leprosy in the future.

Every thinking American has told you, that the FCC ruling tomorrow will evicerate our free use of the internet. But, unfortunately, these weenies we have elected to protect us from this ever increasing and demanding government will do nothing to stop these people from the FCC. They will sit with their thumbs up their ass and condone their ruling.

this is the kind of crap that unarmed citizens living in countries ruled by thug dictators have to put with. It’s obvious what is happening to America under this regime and if the people don’t step in, in mass and soon, we all might as well be living in one of those other countries because America will just be one of them.

Obama’s fellow travellers, Communist China and Cuba, are also all in for government control of the internet too.

If Net Neutrality does happen .. I will not be on the net anymore.

I refuse to pay their prices and give them access to every word I say.
