What I ultimately worry about is if a lot of pro-Microsoft/anti-Linux numbnuts get high-ranking spots in the governments of the world and decide that only computers with Windows XP or Windows Vista are allowed to access the internet.

Trust me. There will be a time where EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of your life will be controlled by the globalists. They will control what you put in your mouth (mandatory veganism or hell, even that CODEX Alimentarius that will virtually ban all vitamin and mineral supplements). They will control what you watch. (Any DVD movies the globalists deem subservient will be seized and destroyed.) They will even control the content of your computer. There will be ONE operating system for all computers...this operating system will be the only LEGAL operating system. All computers will be registered by a government agency. You will pay an annual tax on your computer. All subservient software will be seized and destroyed. You will have to scan either a thumbprint or an implantable microchip to even log on to your computer. All computers which do not have thumbprint/Verichip scanners will be prohibited from accessing the internet.

"1. That the US government recognises it has to transition its role if it wants to keep the internet in one piece (and it then has to sell that decision to a mindlessly patriotic electorate)"

Up yours beeatch!

Sounds like someone's been watching Overdrawn at the Memory Bank again. Also I don't think subservient means quite what you think it means. Oh, and your tinfoil hat is slipping. You may want to take a few minutes to recrimp and reposition.

I think you're thinking subversive but typing subservient.

I meant subversive, but you know what? If believing in freedom is now "tin foil hat wearing", then call me the Tin Man from the Wizard Of Oz.

So the US government owns the Free Republic server? If you're connected to your ISP, the US government owns your computer for the duration?

ROOT DOMAINS...

I think this report is somewhat exaggerated; nevertheless, if others want to control an Internet, then let them build their own. We don't need an EU or a UN of the Internet, with out lives controlled by a gang of overfed bureaucrats in Brussels, and/or a Babel of inputs from a mob of international imbeciles all stroking their bloated egos as they (once again) destroy one of the great inventions of Americans.

Well, I see it's time for the US inventors to get busy and come up with another creation...even better than the internet!

Wonder what new idea is next?

The Illuminati crowd must be gleefully slapping backs as the American people doze on.

Don't forget the Buildacheesburgers, Trilateral Commission, Masons, NWO, CFR, Club of Rome.. did I miss anything?

BTW, you do realize that the Illuminiti hasn't existed since the late 1700s and was only short lived in Bavaria?

When historians come to review events in Washington on 26 July 2006, they will no doubt be reminded of discussions in previous centuries over why individual citizens should be given a vote. Or, perhaps, why landowners or the educated classes shouldn't be given more votes than the masses.

Who wrote this infantile twaddle? The situation has nothing to do with voting, it has to do with control of private property. The underlying assumption on the part of the author is that once a piece of private property benefits enough people they have a right to expropriate it. It's the old socialist argument that theft ought to be legal if enough people do it.

Someone has to control and coordinate root DNS. Unfortunately, if it turns out to be someone with a political agenda that also becomes a tool of power, and there is an entire internationalist political class that salivates over that sort of thing. If this turns into another UN there will certainly be another Internet in private hands that will remain so. I'll be first in line as a customer, and if Khofi and his boys treat the assignment of domains as a means of international taxation or remediation of the inequities of capitalism and colonialism they're welcome to crap in their own stolen box.

I have an idea! Let's go back to the dial-up BBSes and get back on Fidonet before the globalist swine decide to shut down all landline phone lines.

You forgot about "Bohemian Grove" and "Skull & Bones". :)

Great. Now the rest of the world will get their chance to censor and tax us. Why don't they build their own internet to ruin?

Europe tried with a different set of protocols many years ago. It proved to be so complicated, that very few ever wrote software for it. It was an intellectual's pipe dream.

Of course, the socialists only know one thing: envy some else's property (acquired with great care, talent, and money) and appropriate it for yourself to make up for your own lack of talent and initiative.

I don't know "Bohemian Grove", but Skull and Bones is the American branch of the Illuminati.
