Easy-to-Understand Summary of Internet Giveaway
Few people understand how the internet runs, but we all know what ‘web pages’ are. That’s where we ‘surf’ for information.
And the devil is in the details. Those pages are organized through domain names [including the pages of this forum].
ICANN runs the domain name system. And its contract with the US federal government limits ICANN’s ability to meddle with peoples’ ownership. Europe now recommends changing that. They want to use ICANN as the vehicle for a globalist network to police the internet [aka Hillary’s Internet Gatekeeper]. That way they can suppress ‘hate speech’.
China is also holding secret talks with ICANN.
The federal government need only renew that contract by September 30 or ICANN becomes a ‘free agent’ which can secretly wheel and deal with anyone on earth.
Senator Cruz is doing good work ... as a senator. Can we support what he’s doing here, or are we obligated to hate the guy regardless the good he does?
Please see my tagline before trashing me for thinking Cruz is doing good work here.
What, exactly, is broken and needs to be fixed?

stop it now or we will stop it later. We are a NATION!!We invented it — it is ours!! We will not give it away like the Panama Canal. Remember the traitors well.
I am concerned they will make Americans pay $1,000 per domain name, out of “fairness.”
This is nothing but a Soros backed globalist giveaway. One of his stated goals is control of the internet and information.
Thanks for posting this...
Remember how Obama said “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor!” He said that hundreds of times. Remember those assurances?!?!
Yeah, well why would anyone trust this administration to look out for their welfare!!!
If you like your internet and want to keep it, call your elected representatives...
I don’t want it to be run by the UN, why would anyone want anything being run by the UN after seeing the devastation in Europe!
So, would this open the door to a UN tax? Is this a start of other nations being in charge of us?
How does this impact proxy servers, usenet, or the dark web? Who assigns dotted quads to .onion addresses?

Really, US oversight of the Internet may be the greatest tool not only to keep Americans free but it also keeps tyranny at bay around the world. The elites are chomping at the bit to be able to control it. I can’t emphasize this enough. Ceding control of the Internet would usher in a political dark age making those who control it the kings and the rest serfs.
