Should Obama Control The Internet? (Free Speech Alert)
Mother Jones ^ | 4/03/2009 | Steve Aquino

“The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF) gives the president the ability to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any “critical” information network “in the interest of national security.” The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president”

US Internet shut down will not effect white house site.This looks like the white house will still have world Internet access out of Germany while the US internet is shut down by executive order. Same as shutting down the phone system.

Very Scarey Stuff. We as citizens also lose contact with our troops posted abroad.

Jim Rob, time to have a mirror FR site off shore.STAT
