Look for the internet to be banned in the near future.

I was just thinking the same thing a few minutes ago. Didn't Hillary suggest/demand some kinds of controls on the Internet a few months ago?

The more the Internet threatens the 'establishment' -- politicians and main media -- the more consideration might some day be given to roping in the Internet. It would be difficult, but they certainly might try. Remember, CFR?

I think they're already trying to muzzle certain voices--hence the restrictions on articles that can be posted on Free Republic. I have seen articles from the same sources (the ones that want to sue FR) on other sites, with no hint of lawsuit threats. If it were really all about copyrights, they'd be going after the other sites too.

The Beth Wilkinson referred to in this article is married to...

David Gregory.

Yes, THAT David Gregory.

"Finally, BETH WILKINSON married David Gregory this past summer on Nantucket. The couple is pictured here. Beth, a partner at law firm Latham & Watkins, was a prosecutor for the Justice Department in the Oklahoma City bombing trials. If David looks familiar, he should. He’s a political correspondent for NBC, and he spent much of the past few months covering the presidential campaign."

Perhaps this explains some of his antipathy to the President?

If they ever try to tamper with the internet, that will be the issue that unites the rank and file of both political parties. Democrats and Republicans, as well as third party loyalists would rise up so quick, their heads would spin.

If they do anything, it will be in secret in a bill passed at midnight and too late for any of us to do anything by the time we figures it out.

Or, they will stack the search engine companies with people that will support their agendas to suppress the truth.

See? My tinfoil shines brightly in the sunshine ; )
