They said it in the story: controlling the power grids!!

You lose electricity, you lose the internet. Not rocket science. They don’t have to shut down individual websites that way—in one fell swoop they cover EVERYTHING and wipe it out!!! >:-(

My first thought as well! If they take over the internet, the underground will be the place to go to find the truth!

My God, what has America come to?!?! :*(

This bill better die a swift death in Congress!

” which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency “ ... i.e. a deliberately manufactured crises.

With the current “energy policy” of these luddite elitists,

they won’t have to shut down the grid at all - it’s going to shut itself down.

I suggested that what was needed was a way to deploy wireless routers that could communicate with each other to form a self-organizing peer-to-peer network outside of the Mullah's control. Little did I know that we would need one too

I was reviewing the TARNAC 9 support documents...this anarchist group plans to establish their own communications network.....These probable friends of the President are way ahead....I wonder why?

Check it out yourself: TARNAC 9

“One-Party State here we come”

Do you think McCain and the rest of the RINO’s are that stupid as to not know what is happening, and/or are they complicit? What would be in it for them?

Realize that the true ideological battle is between

elitists
and
individualists

Rinos are elitists.
