U.S. aims to give up control over Internet administration
Washington Post ^ | Friday, March 14, 4:19 PM | By Craig Timberg,

U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move likely to please international critics but alarm many business leaders and others who rely on smooth functioning of the Web.

Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance last year.

I was going to mention things like CB radio, etc., but really don’t know much about how it all works. Definitely still a good way to communicate though.

Giving it away as if it’s theirs to give.

How cute.

Of course, that will be followed by heavy censorship...

Yeah and that’s probably all you’ll get, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. heavily censored of course.

This is bad, very very bad. Obama is giving up more of our sovereignty than anyone before him...

All going according to plan.

"Get ready folks, our Internet may be gone forever, very soon."

To all "TIIWPL" Members, "Houston we may have a problem.

For when the INTERNET goes down and quits working completely (Sorta like Congress only funner)

I've created a FRee Republic Emergency Ping list (as suggested by mitch5501 ) called:

The "The INTERNET isn't working!" ping list.

"So let it be written. So let it be done."

Yep. Give away US excellence, beause the NSA is not allowed to violate it.Free speech and freedom of information is about to take a huge devolution.The Chinese model will dominate, which is what Obama and the left want. Snowdon has made them into these vile animals who abhor freedom.

Goodbye, free speech. The First Amendment only extends to the water's edge, folks.

Not withstanding the fact that Google has censored Conservatives for years. Now we will have the permanently offended class to worry about.

OMG! It can not be good-when one receives a PING from "The Internet Isn't Working" PING list.

All kidding aside- It's very painful to watch our country be torn apart and destroyed , not by outside enemies, but from within, by those who swore to protect it. Pray for our nation. This is very bad news.

Get good and angry and be ready to do what you must. But, never give up, just stay mad enough and ready to fight.

Now that the NSA have all of their back doors in place....

My initial thoughts too - NSA has covert control and ceding responsibility gives a buffer of deniability.

That is exactly what all that is going on is about. The US will no longer exist as a nation. The NWO has taken over.

Think about it people. Open borders, weak military, agenda 21, loss of property rights, no more freedom of medical care. Punishment by the IRS and other government agencies. Food control.

They have stepped on the gas pedal and we are still hanging out of the car door not realizing that it may be too late to stop what is happening. They will keep pushing to take those guns, so look out.

Double bump. No wonder they went after D’Souza. He has blown away the fog and broke the mirrors to reveal the bare truth about Obama. Obama IS the Manchurian candidate.

It’s why Obama is the Teflon man. He’s literally getting away with dismantling this nation. All by design and grooming.
