Feds look to adopt 322 pages of fresh taxes, regulations; FCC Chair Refuses to Testify before Congress
Another wild power-grab. Power without accountability. The net is the very last frontier for free speech.
— Despite google algorithms that consistently render — day in day out, year in year out — always render left-wing sites on first page search results; — Despite filters that block my site and sites like mine (Jihad Watch, The Religion of Peace, Creeping Sharia, Sharia Unveiled, et al) at work, school, and even US army bases and government agencies; — Despite search engines refusing to include news sites like mine in the news searches; — Despite the fact that the mainstream broadcast and print media, with the exception of the tepid Fox News, are notoriously left; — Despite the fact that we are a mere fly buzzing around the mammoth head of the mainstream media; — Despite the fact that they should win by overwhelming numbers because it’s David vs. Goliath; They fail, because their ideas fail.
Which is why they must destroy us.

FCC Chair Refuses to Testify before Congress ahead of Net Neutrality Vote, The Corner, February 25, 2015 by Andrew Johnson February 25, 2015 (thanks to Van)
Two prominent House committee chairs are “deeply disappointed” in Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler for refusing to testify before Congress as “the future of the Internet is at stake.” Wheeler’s refusal to go before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday comes on the eve of the FCC’s vote on new Internet regulations pertaining to net neutrality. The committee’s chairman, Representative Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), and Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Fred Upton (R., Mich.) criticized Wheeler and the administration for lacking transparency on the issue. “So long as the chairman continues to insist on secrecy, we will continue calling for more transparency and accountability at the commission,” Chaffetz and Upton said in a statement. “Chairman Wheeler and the FCC are not above Congress.” The vote on the new Internet regulations is scheduled for Thursday. The FCC’s two Republican commissioners have asked Wheeler to delay the vote to allow more time for review. The changes would allow the commission to regulate the Internet like a public utility, setting new standards that require the provision of equal access to all online content. -

Congress has abdicated. The USA is a dictatorship now with a thug judiciary holding the line.
> They won’t be all that secret once they start being enforced. Then people will bitch and moan about it and do pretty much nothing. Congress will make a lot of noise and then do nothing. We’ve become a nation of wimps and crybabies.
In the end military might and force is the only thing tyrants understand. You cannot reason or negotiate with them. They have to be put down. Sorry but its the truth. Sun Tzu agrees...
With little control
Time to overthrow this central socialist government. It only works for those who don’t.
Where’s the candidate who says he’ll work overtime if elected I order to rip out by the roots all crap that was legislated by the Democrats and Republicrats?
“If passed it needs to be a 2016 presidential campaign point “
Yes, if this passes I’m sure that the internet will be an effective medium for anyone opposing the progressives.
I was Big Brother for a bit so I know what a bumbling mess they really are. They depend on you looking at them like a big unsurmountable force and cowering in fear but sometimes a good foot stomp and knee to the groin from Little Brother is in order when its deserved and I think we’re just anout there.

Those two have been regulated for years.
But Barry Soetero didn’t set up regulation for them otherwise they would probably almost be non-existent by now.

Opens alot of “doors”
Most people won’t care as long as they can stream their sports and celebrity gossip sites. The majority of people do not pay any attention to politics. As evidence I give you voter turnout statistics.
Most politicians, even Republicans, would rather that political websites were muzzled. As evidence I give you John McCain and his perpetual campaign finance reform acts which in reality are incumbent protection acts.
The political class want the rest of us to shut up and take what’s good for us.
No where
Such a candidate would be shunned by the party. They would get no support from the national party and no support from the party as far as campaign advisors or feet on the ground.
They would be attacked by the press from both sides. They would be seen as an invading virus by the body politic.
As example look at how Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are treated and they are moderate compared to the candidate you describe.
If it is secret how did Google get a copy of the “rules”?
I was thinking more of Pirate Radio.
A huge transmitter on a ship in international waters broadcasting forbidden ideas to a news blacked out America.
Look for this to land up in fed courts.
Tell that at the upcoming CPAC conference.
For now that is.
Look for “civil disobedence” to the be the new thing.
