Tell the UN they better get permission from Allgore, father of the internet! LOL

D.C. Watson examines the UN's attempts to take over the Internet:
While the United States houses, and provides much of the funding for the United Nations' annual budget, that just doesn't seem to be enough.
The U.N., with many of its own problems, such as astonishing corruption, is now being touted by the European Union as a candidate to control the Internet. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19846
From the column:
Viviane Reding, European IT commissioner, says that if a multilateral approach cannot be agreed, countries such as China, Russia, Brazil and some Arab states could start operating their own versions of the internet and the ubiquity that has made it such a success will disappear. Well then, why don't these countries go right ahead and build their own and see how they do? And, you'll never guess who else likes the idea of the U.S. giving up control of the net:
The EU plan was applauded by states such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, leading the former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt to express misgivings on his weblog: "It seems as if the European position has been hijacked by officials that have been driven by interests that should not be ours." So let's see if we understand this. The United States created, funded, developed, and marketed the Internet, yet we’re "hijacking" it? Is there no end to the asinine statements these creatures will make? If that's the case, then I guess I hijacked my own lawnmower yesterday. I cut the grass with it and wouldn't let anyone else push it. The safety of the American people comes first. And since some of these bottom feeders have websites they use to recruit Muslim terrorists and possibly do some illegal Internet banking money transfers from Islamic charities, the United States needs to have its hands on the controls. What would these countries do if they had the control? Would they attempt to rid the web of anything that is offensive to Muslims? That in itself would likely empty out the entire Internet. Would they attempt to cover up all of their future wrongdoings? Or would they work to monitor and then limit everyone's freedom of speech, for example, "Islamophobic" speech? Does anyone remember U.N. Secretary Kofi Annan's speech confronting "Islamophobia"? http://www.amperspective.com/html/annan_speech_text.html Confronting "Islamophobia"? That's comparable to confronting an iceberg floating in the lake of fire. This might be a good time to contact all State Representatives and Senators to let them know that handing over control of the Internet to that waste of space in New York they call the United Nations would be the dumbest thing they could do, and we all know how handy they are when it comes to doing dumb things. If these other countries want control of an Internet, they should go ahead and develop their own. In a world where wild-eyed Muslims are busy raping babies and swinging machetes at innocent people in Sudan, sawing off heads in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, developing nuclear weapons in Iran, sending foreign fighters into Iraq from Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia to fight Coalition forces, wearing suits, ties, and kufis in Washington, hiding behind the Qur'an as they attempt to guilt-trip Americans into coddling Islam, strapping bombs to themselves in Gaza, fighting for the implementation of Islamic law in Canada, making threats to cartoonists in Denmark, shooting and slicing up filmmakers in Holland, attacking schoolchildren in Russia, bombing subways in London, bombing trains in Madrid, flying planes into buildings, bombing nightclubs in Bali, preaching hate in mosques, threatening to attack the Vatican in Italy, and attempting to blackmail the world with oil, the Internet should never, ever be handed over to a corrupt organization that panders to Islam as does the United Nations.
What will happen if Europe and other countries decide to build their own internet? Does it mean our current internet will compete with theirs?
Frankly, this is all just more proof that the US does/did a hell of a lot, and the rest of the world is insanely jealous.
Let's see if these turkeys can go it alone,,, without our [the US taxpayer] help. They'll last about a month.
Scientist: OK this is how I can do it.
First I take some dirt..
God: Stop right there!
You get your own dirt!
Yeah, give the UN responsibility over something we built, own, and run to the benefit of everyone in the Free world. Right after I give the keys to my new car to my drunk philandering uncle Freddie, the one currently under criminal investigation. Sorry, but I'm still paying his bills for rehab. It wouldn't be very responsible of me to do that... but wait isn't "responibility" part of the PC ban list of boogeyman words? My bad.
Tell the UN they better get permission from Allgore, father of the internet! LOL
But, technically, can't they do it today? The fact the Chinese has been doing it, it means it can be done even now.
I certainly hope not!
I am assuming that, should they stop flapping their lips and stop trying to steal American technolical excellence, and build their useless internet, that all traffic direct and indirect from every muslim country will be filteres out.
That means, for example, if terrorist sandmaggot traffic is routed through France, and the French do not block it, France gets banned too.
Good riddance.
Back to the days of Fidonet...
Direct satellite internet is already here. There will be no way that any communist, socalist, islamic, anarchic, atheist, martian, or any other government can control it now. There will always be clever, freedom loving people that will be able to hook up.
There will be fewer and fewer repressive, mean regiems in the future due to satellite t.v., phones and internet. The light of truth is being beamed to all the dark places in this world.
America will never turn over control of the internet to the U.N. or the E.U. IMHO.
Yes.
There are a handful of key components that are controlled via non-profits with oversight from the US Government. One of these is the domain management scheme, and the big-time DNS servers may be, as well (I'm not 100% sure).
By controlling the high-traffic backbone, one could restrict access to all kinds of sites. By controlling domains, one could kill off any "undesirable" websites.
It means those countries will heavily tax and censor their version of the internet and forcibly prevent their citizens from attempting to use the better U.S. internet via threat of legal sanctions and imprisonment. In other words, they'll muck it all up.
