This would be the end of the 1st Amendment on the web. With one word, Barry could shut off everything from Rush Limbaugh's website to Free Republic.

Sounds like he wants torches and pitchforks in D.C.

Should Obama Control The Internet?

Yes. And I have the perfect name for it: The Patriot Act.

Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)

Why does she bother to put an "R" behind her name?

It is not a matter of “if”, but a matter “when they’ll try”.

The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

" Its an emergency. I am losing the election"

This legislation is a declaration of civil war. Very bad news on the 1st amendment and highly unecessary in any imaginable emergency.

In an emergency communicaton is needed between citizens,not a communication shut down. The government wants to be able to act without knowledge of the electorate. They are OUR servants, not our masters.

This is pure fascism.If we as Americans let it stand, then our Bill of Rights freedoms are doomed.

I could care less about Limbaugh, since he sounded though he was broadcasting from the Bush White House basement for 8 years.

But you can bet, big/gov is attempting to totally control the Internet.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Of COURSE they want to shut down communications in an “emergency” — so these rest of us ONLY get our news through the “approved” channels. And places like FR cease to exist where we can enlighten each other... Thing is — the government would be stupid to do this, really. Unless their goal is to CREATE chaos and discord, and yeah, I wouldn’t put it past them to WANT that in order to advance their agenda...

Ironic though — even people who DON’T believe in the NWO, Big Brother, and things like that would start to get funny feelings if all of a sudden the President could shut down the internet.

Why. oh why, are these liberals so STUPID???? It’s not like it’s JUST US conservatives they will shut up! Have they NEVER even BOTHERED to learn what their supported Communist governments do to the most VOCAL of their SUPPORTERS when the SHTF?

That interview with former KGB guy - Yuri Bezemenov(sp?) — he talked about that exact thing. The folks at “Mother Jones”, DU, HuffPo, etc... Well, I’ve got news for them. When your ‘utopia’ comes, you’ll be right along side all of us in line for the guillotines... They think things will be “wonderful” but have no clue that the governments don’t like people like THEM either! They are all being USED!

IMPORTANT CROSS LINK TO THREAD:

Obama White House Gov operates on a server in Germany:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2221823/posts

US Internet shut down will not effect white house site.This looks like the white house will still have world Internet acess while the US internet is shut down by executive order. Same as shutting down the phone system.

Very Scarey Stuff. We as citizens also lose contact with our troops posted abroad.

Seizing control of the internet would do it.

I've been saying for a while now that the Socialists and their Deal Leader will take one mis-step too far at some point, and trigger something on the scale of an insurrection.
