REACTION IF THIS
WERE PROPOSED UNDER BUSH 43:

I hope they spam and ‘pop-up’ the shit out of him.
Sorry, for some reason I left out the first paragraph. Here it is “Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.”
There is still shortwave radio...
One state, one party, one ruler.
Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to “direct the national response to the cyber threat” if necessary for “the national defense and security.” The White House is supposed to engage in “periodic mapping” of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies “shall share” requested information with the federal government. (”Cyber” is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)
“The language has changed but it doesn’t contain any real additional limits,” EFF’s Tien says. “It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There’s no provision for any administrative process or review. That’s where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it.”
Translation: If your company is deemed “critical,” a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, and when the government would exercise control over your computers or network.
1. placing of cookies on .gov visitors’ computers
2. the rat-on-your neighbors & relatives website flag.gov, 3. the reporter personal profiling
4. unexplained unsolicited sending of emails from wh to citizenry.
NO WAY SHOULD THIS BE ALLOWED TO SEE LITE OF DAY OUT OF COMMITTEE. Need to get going on this when session resumes!!!
Not that I’m the FR posting police or anything, but....
This has been posted some 5-6 times today.
Continue.....
True, but wouldn’t operators need to have news to share....
The name of Rockefeller is central to The New World Order. Anything a Rockefeller does is suspect. Put that name together with control of the internet and you have the new world fascism.
my bad.
5-6 times?
phaw
Try 11 times!

What we have going now is a compilation of evil coming together. Some of these groups I hadn't heard about ... . Obama is thrilled to death at all these “resources” to bring about our destruction into something LESS than a third world country.
We already know the Democrat administration baits and switches; it gives euphemistic names to its gulag-making mechanisms. Emergency? No. Power and control is what it really is.
It is in no way comparable to that. Aircraft are a means of transportation. The Internet is a means of communication.
Bush did not shut down all the radio and TV stations, or the telephone system, on 9/11. There is a huge difference that apparently our Overlords in Congress, such as Rockefeller, are deliberately overlooking. Either the source who made that statement is dumb, and lacking critical thinking skills, or incredibly dishonest and misleading.
First hand accounts could work. Look at how we share info here on FR. Also, one can receive information from around the world with SW. I have a little handheld SW receiver and I can get news, information, and entertainment from around the globe.
Sorry. The search function on Free Republic stinks. I search every article before I post. This showed as nothing having been posted.
I counted it as the 1tth time also, and at least the second from this source, though the prior may have been yesterday.
Clearly, A VIOLATION OF THE 1ST AMENDMENT!
“emergency powers” = complete fascism
Until it is jammed...
