The INTERNET is the greatest asset to individual liberty ever created. No wonder RATS are working to kill it.

Without the ingenuity of America’s brightest minds and the investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars, there would be no Internet, as we now know it today.
Now, the Obama administration has moved quietly to cede control of the Web from the United States to foreign powers.
Some background: The Internet came into being because of the genius work of Americans Dr.Robert E. Kahn and Dr. Vinton G. Cerf. These men, while working for the Department of Defense in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the early 1970s, conceived, designed, and implemented the idea of "open-architecture networking."

True and there are many hobbyist that are also knowledgeable. But they are a fairly insular group. They do not get their views or ideas cross pollinated out side their little sphere of influence.
I just don’t see the mainstream media picking up on this. And if gets some coverage on Page D5 I don’t see many people finding the article and thinking it will have much impact on their life.
How many people have taken an interest in the Net Neutrality Act? That can have a huge impact on how we use the net and who do you know has taken the time to look into what that abortion of a bill will do?
Do you really think it will be a blip on the radar once it’s changed or gone?
Yes.
Like I said:
This won’t even be a blip on the radar of the American people until it is too late and probably long after Obama is gone.
People won’t notice until they can’t do the things that they have been accustomed to doing.
This new governing body will not changes things drastically immediately. They will take time to slowly gather power and build up a body of reason for needed change to how the internet works. Hackers are the most likely excuse they will use; a need for security.
It is a slow road to serfdom we are on. The free world will end with a whimper and not bang. It is entertainment that is the opiate of the people and not religion. The Christian religion has been the guardian of freedom these last few centuries. Christianity is being exiled by the West and with it goes the guiding light of freedom.
Russia in the Russian script yes I used to get those all the time but guess my spam blocker gets and eats them now.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!
True about zero. As to American ingenuity succeeds in developing a new system, as long as it’s better, we win. If it isn’t, we will look so foolhardy and imbecilic, we will need many, many decades to live it down, if ever. It would be a very hard loss to survive.
Internet and social policy are closely tied. If America keeps itself free then it will refuse foreign edicts that would wish censorship on its internal networks.
1. He gave away control of our internet.

Stocks will take a dump -—— AGAIN
Everything we do is connected to the internet. This insanity has to stop NOW.
The seeds of a new civil war being planted.
I have really tried to not ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence. I am just about done with that.
Obama’s Panama Canal moment.
The INTERNET is the greatest asset to individual liberty ever created. No wonder RATS are working to kill it.

The US lets go of the internet – will anyone notice?

POLITICAL power is rarely ceded without good reason. So eyebrows were raised last week when the US Department of Commerce decided to relax its grip on the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the body responsible for the naming system that ensures that when you type a web address, your browser knows where to go. In future, governments and other international organisations will be able to nominate staff to sit on one of ICANN’s three newly created steering committees, something the DoC had resisted for years. “What it really means,” says ICANN’s chief executive Rod Beckstrom, “is that we’re going global.”

SNIPPET: “(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Internet regulation body ICANN (www.icann.org) announced this week it has named three individuals to serve as non-commercial stakeholder group representatives on the new Generic Names Supporting Organization Council at its September 30th board meeting.
The appointees include Mohammed Rafik Dammak of Tunisia, Rosemary Sinclair of Australia and Debra Hughes of the United States.
The board’s structural improvements committee reviewed the applications from a range of volunteers before recommending to the full board three candidates to serve on the GNSO Council for the next two years.
The newly appointed individuals were recommended by the SIC based on their skills, experience, background, knowledge, passion and ability to help build non-commercial participation and contribute to the work of the GNSO.
The committee paid particular attention to the candidates’ ability to contribute to diversity of geographic representation on the council.”

And, in the meantime, a new USANet will spring up that is exclusive to the US and uses all the same protocols and network infrastructure.
Obama must really be upset that Jimmy Carter beat him in giving away the Panama Canal.
At this point the latter probably outnumbers the former, and as long as twitter, facebook and youtube are still accessible, their world will not be shaken.
It's time for the courts and people to remove the usurper, put him in jail, and try him and DNC enablers for their crimes against the American people. See tagline.
Oh yeah. Obama’s bowing to King of Saudi Arabia, Putin, Emperor of Japan, Premiere of China, and mayor of Tampa (who declared CAIR day in Tampa) = treason
