I don’t mean if we lost control of the internet. I meant if it ceased to exist.

The explosion in child porn, rape porn, and all other porn is due to it’s easy availability on the internet.

We humans are out of control on the internet.

The internet was touted as a tremendous productivity boon, saving time for us so we could do more or other things. The other things turned out to be entertainment, most of which is controlled by cynical leftists, whose only reason for existence. it seems, is to blaspheme God, promote sodomy in whatever form, and hate America.

Congress postponed this scheme before. They might do it again.

Someone I know who is politically active recently told me that letter writing is actually very effective. They work on some meme where they presume that for every letter they receive, they presume it represents the opinion of 100,000 other people who don’t bother to write letters.

I forgot what he called it, but I thought that was very interesting.

And if you do not remember the fallout over HR^, the bill that would have heavily regulated homeschooling and the resulting outcry that happened, people’s opinion is important and does matter.

The Battle of HR6.

Ping to the homeschool list for that history plus, if this happens, it WILL affect homeschooling which I know depends heavily on internet resources.

Yes Congress to the Rescue: Quashing Obama’s Internet Giveaway. I see no reason for not calling them and telling them that we expect they will once again defend our control of the internet as they had done in 2014. But we must not beg. I guess that was what I objected to more than anything.

Maybe so, but if we lose control of the internet, it will be policed by people far less moral than the USA. They are more concerned about ‘hate speech’ ‘homophobia’ etc than about the broadcasting of perversion.

Alarming? Maybe. There is a lot that congress knows nothing about. This has been in the works for a long time. Since it’s fast approaching (s)election time, a lot of them are focused on getting another ride on the gravy train. This is NOT good.

Right! Or should I say ‘Write!’

Yes, writing letters by hand is more compelling than a phone call. That has been said by congressional staffers.

God bless you, metmom!

Great to ‘hear’ from you.

FRegards ....

So how soon before they start blocking web sites that are offensive to Muslims? Or more subtly: controlling political ideas and beliefs and filtering what information ends up on people's smart phones and computers.

The UN and a world government “constitution” doesn't (and won't) have a First Amendment so they can regulate all communication with impunity.

This is all right around the corner — controlling the hearts and the minds of the masses on a global scale.

I concur.

DEMAND?

Yes.

Beg?

NEVER!

This could also be a major issue for Donald Trump. As pointed out in Post 18, it’s not just Drudge who is sounding the horn on this but also:

Wall Street Journal

&

Daily Mail.

But I do hope he can finesse congress with a deal and let them bask in most of the limelight. That would help them look to him more as an ally than a threat.

Then we unite for the election!

I’m willing to beg, grovel, and more to save the internet from over-regulation.

If I need to burn myself up with gasoline, I would do it!

I appreciate your passion.

Our reps need to be reminded of who they work for and whom they represent.

Waste of time and effort.

Guys like Ryan and McCain would LOVE to see the UN take over the internet and squash political dissent. The internet has been a pain in their collective tookus for many years now.

The whole point of the N-JCT ping list is to highlight things that are true but dismissed by the government and MSM as nut-job conspiracies.

Ohio PING!!

Just this morning Drudge sounded the alarm:

‘UN COULD TAKE CONTROL OF INTERNET’.

Please let me know if you want on or off the list.

Well, at least contact the Trump campaign. He could at the very least make this a major issue.

Good grief. Do you think that the rest of the world would crack down on child porn, rape-porn, etc?

Not as long as there are moslems to be offended by being denied access to their own fantasy Aishas...
