Many here don’t seem to realize the danger of this. The U.N. has been pressuring us for years to do this, George Bush told them to take a flying leap because he knew how this could hurt America’s national security. Of course, Obama is eager to weaken this country and is happy to turn ICANN over to the international community.
The problem is that ICANN is like the old telephone communication switchboard. Nobody “owns” the internet, true. But you can have servers, and networks and internet providers galore.... if the ICANN directory or “switchboard” that connects everybody to everything is run by a non-friendly entity, you are dead in the water if they abuse that authority.
He who controls ICANN controls modern global communications. The U.S. invented the Internet and developed ICANN so has kept it under the authority of the U.S. which has run it in a neutral capacity. The U.N. doesn’t like that U.S. having that power so wants us to give it up to the control of an international board.... the same type of anti-American lunatics that put Iran on the U.N. Human Rights Council.
I see more taxes on the horizon, aimed directly at internet users. Bend over folks, here it comes again.
