They freaked out when Bush made the slightest move toward monitoring communications. But when they get power, they go whole hog in the Big Brother direction. And the MSM thinks it’s fine.

So whose security triggers the measures? Is it national security, or White House occupant security? They are far from the same.

Cybersecurity, Homeland Security = Use information against Terrorists

Cybersecurity, White House = Use information against 0bama's enemies list.

Hillary's 1,000 FBI files are obsolete or she won't sell them?

Crap like this is spooky! I sometimes feel like I am in a bad remake of, “Night Of The Living Dead”.

,, a proposal from Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)

Two great patriots that want to destroy the US.

So, they’re taking it away from Tweedledee and giving it to Tweedledum?

And, of course, the White House National Cybersecurity Advisor would not need to receive the Advice and Consent of the United States Senate.

That’s the point of all these new WH positions.

CNET News has obtained a summary of a proposal from Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (RINO-Maine) that would create an Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, part of the Executive Office of the President. That office would receive the power to disconnect, if it believes they're at risk of a cyberattack, "critical" computer networks from the Internet.

Patriots....Where are they? We need a few in the house, and Senate. Anyone, someone, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stand up for our America before we have lost it for good. My tin-foil hat is stuck on my head these days, but I am really concerned.

Exactly.

They want to control every frickin’ thing.

Where are the sane people?

I can’t believe there are so many mentally challenged idiots
in America.

Where are the sane people who once had backbone
but are now letting some little pimp pushing us into a hellhole.

There is another thread discussing how Australia may ban even Google.

The fine there for having a “forbidden link” is $11,000 per day.

The census, the internet, what next?
