FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regarding so-called “independent federal regulatory agencies" like the FCC, IRS, EPA, FTC, the “private” Federal Reserve, etc., patriots are reminded of the following from related threads.
The Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from Congress (sarc), to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in constitutionally undefined federal regulatory agencies like the previously mentioned examples, agencies run by non-elected bureaucrats.
With constitutionally undefined federal regulatory agencies in mind, patriots are also reminded that, in stark contrast to such agencies, by smartly limiting the terms of representatives elected by the people to two years, the Founding States effectively gave ordinary voters the power to “impeach and remove from office" corrupt lawmakers who make unpopular, unconstitutional policy.
That being said, consider that corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification federal lawmakers now not only blatantly ignore the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers when policy is made, but wrongly protect themselves from the wrath of the voters concerning bad domestic policy.
More specifically, career lawmakers have learned to protect themselves from the voters by unconstitutionally front-ending federal legislative / regulatory powers with non-elected federal bureaucrats who do Congress’s unpopular, unconstitutional legislative dirty work for them.
Also consider that much federal domestic policy is actually based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues imo, state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
After all, by letting bureaucrats do their dirty legislative work for them, career lawmakers are able to keep their voting records clean. And by keeping their voting records clean, corrupt lawmakers are able to fool voters who have probably never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers into reelecting them.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal government that lets non-elected bureaucrats get away with oppressing voters with stolen state powers…
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
When’s the last time CNN made a stink about this? Any noise after if it was taken over by ATT?
CNN is ATT
Notice how that minor detail was omitted from the article.
What happens when you type a website name into your browser is that the DNS server returns an IP address for that name. Then your internet provider routes the request to the host with that address. They can't block access by route. But they can block names if you use their DNS.
But in case you want to try it without doing any work, just wait until freerepublic is "blocked". Then type https://209.157.64.200/tag/*/index into your browser. If that works then AT&T is blocking via DNS and you can easily bypass that.
Having the internet being regulated by the government as if it were a utility is better? No way.
Same thing will happen for healthcare if we can get gov’t out of the way.

That's correct. But I gave you the IP address after verfiying it myself. The fact that the name on the cert is not the same as the IP address is a minor detail in this particular case. You can add an exception for the certificate and have https security using that IP which protects your privacy at, for example, a coffee shop.
I find the idea that I need the government to protect me from DNS censorship or dumb down the internet repugnant. People need to learn the basics of DNS, IP addresses and SSL. Otherwise they should not be on the internet. We're already at the point where users in China know more since they have to get around state censorship. Yet people here can't make a trivial effort to get around minor censorship (if that's even the case).
You are right. I do use a VPN but that causes me problems because my printer will not print until I close the VPN.
Was instructed how to get around it but could not find my printer IP address. Guess I need tp just shut down.
