Maybe he doesn’t plan on there being another Republican president.

Ok, there’s no need to bring any kind of logic or facts to their party. Just for that, your access will be one of the first cut off.

Out in open EMP would fry them. Put them in a waterproof container or bag, in a metal container filled with water, and buried underground till you need em .

Who needs the internet info sites when all transactions are done via scan? And if you don’t participate with them, well then, buying & selling will be pretty difficult.

If the First Amendment is taken, we’ll be forced to move on to the next Amendment.

They seem to be willing to take them all on - simultaneously.

I think you can prevent EMP damage by taking the batteries out for the duration of the EMP... if you want to be extra sure wrap it in aluminum foil, pack it in an air-/water-tight container (with your other SHTF [electronic] supplies) and keep it in a secure location.

Ham radio could see a come back

The Internet was run on ham radios in Hawaii in the 1970s.

We could do it again.

Perhaps some things about this bill make sense. A few weeks ago Richard Clarke was on C-SPAN talking about how vulnerable the U.S. internet is to attack from foreign countries. He said that the Chinese have set up “drawbridges” on their internet so that they can isolate it from other countries. Russia has something similar. He said that the North Koreans have already launched a cyber attack on us using the Chinese. If a more serious attack was underway in a time of war, perhaps part of the internet would need to be shut down.

You forgot to add the Student loan industry to the list, now a government program. Passed in the healthcare bill.

I wonder if they’ll “retroactively invalidate” your degree if you ever accepted a student loan... kinda like what they did with AIG and the Bailour-Bonus recipients.
