Obama Surrendering Internet to Foreign Powers
NEWSMAX ^ | 31 Jan 2010 | By: Bradley A. Blakeman

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."

China and other totalitarian nations want a say in how the Internet is run. This is very dangerous, and don’t think any free countries will stop them.

At the recent Davos conference, the Chinese rep made it known that he didn’t want the recent Google hacking discussed, and no country — including ours — dared to bring it up.

"I have really tried to not ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence. I am just about done with that."

In the case of this administration it appears to be a combination of both...let's hope and pray their incompetence outweighs the malice, and that we can regain control and competency in the near future.

So does my spam filter but it also allows me to view it at the earthlink server site and not on my computer. Earthlink has always caught emails with virus problems..tells me just what the virus is..you get what you pay for with email service. I have used that provider for 10 years and touch wood have never had a virus either on my PC or my MACS

This is a deliberate effort to control the flow of information. The internet is a source of information and organizational focus for oppositions to governments worldwide at ths stage of civilization. The oligarchy cannot afford things they cannot control and thus must move to control it. The next stage will be to get rid of cellphone communications. Some pretense will be created to eliminate the ability of individuals to communicate..
