Call me silly, but recently I was considering a number of ‘electronic communications’ issues.
Recent statement by 0bama that one should give-up their cable TV and cellphone to pay for health insurance.
Americans just last year viscerally opposed an internet tax congress was attempting to pass.
Consider the strong push to do away with landline phones and then see 0bama’s statement about giving up your cellphone for healthcare...
Now our government hands over the control to the UN who we all know will censor and tax the communication systems. One has to stop and question that doesn’t all this appear to be a backhanded form of stopping free speech and access to truthful information, not government propaganda?
It all just appears to me, as a noose is being tightened one notch at a time, to cut us off from being able to communicate. Not only about events here, but from events around the world.
I think you’re on to something.
There aren’t too many governments on Planet Earth who wouldn’t just love to curtail criticism.
Even the so-called “free nations” have plenty of officials in place who’d shut up opposition in a heartbeat if it could be done for “economic” reasons rather than as political repression, per se.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
With the US uninvolved in ICANN, you can bet your bottom dollar that Internet freedom will become a “not for thee” proposition.
It used to be that the “Internet” when first conceived and realized was too expensive for the masses. Hence the reason universities and the military were the only enterprises with the chops to setup the infrastructure. Now we’re simply going full-circle with the Internet becoming a wasteland where only people with money can play.
Tomorrow’s Internet will be a heavily-regulated, heavily-policed arena where free thought is forbidden. Think: China.
We’re already operating under a gov’t contrived and controlled news black-out. A “press” which willingly self-censors in order to promote the Progressive Fascists agenda is hardly a “Free” press.
Watched the nightly news the other night. Nothing important was reported, just fluff. Airliner, march madness and a 1 hour hit piece on global warming w a nasa rocket scientist turned weather expert.
The funny part was it was filmed in the arctic during the summer and tried to pass it off as midwinter. What a bunch of bs watching government scientists espouse how everyone in the science community is behind this.
and so am I, because I've believed this since the *****r took office.
