Condi Rice and Madam Albright are both tied to the $2.5 million lobby effort to get ICANN's internet 'transition' passed. [And evidence of 'walking around money'.]
According to professional witness testimony this lobby effort was a ... pack ... of ... lies. [This exclusive uncovers all of that.]
"Without [free speech protection] ICANN risks becoming an unregulated monopoly with no effective outside oversight and control."
-- Paul Rosenzweig [professional witness at latest ICANN hearing]
That's the fastest summary I've found yet:
... a "monopoly with no effective outside oversight".
And one thing in their crosshairs is our military websites.
They lied about that too. Contrary to their lobbying claims, there is not one legal shred of protection for .mil sites or even of .gov sites according to Senator Grassley and Rosenzweig.
Whatever they are up to, it must be too unpatriotic to mention.
.
Rigged Oversight
I inserted '[free speech protection]' for the sake of quick clarity.
Rosenzweig's actual words were: "Without THAT CHECK, icann risks becoming an unregulated monopoly ..."
'THAT CHECK' refers to ICANN's lie about an 'Empowered Community'.
An 'empowered community' could be an ant farm. It's confusing on purpose.
The 'Empowered Community' is a front, a big joke -- just a smokescreen to hide their secret 'crusade' that includes meddling with military websites.
ICANN often ignores its 'Empowered Community' when it can't mould it like potter's clay.
If you don't believe me, muck through the sordid details of Rosenzweig's testimony yourself.
[That and other links will be posted in followup.]
~~~
ICANN's BACKGROUND
[Initials: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Founded in 1998. Allergic to egg shells -- just had to throw that in because I'm sick of sophist trivia lectures. They are making me grumpy, okay?]
ICANN registers the internet's domain names. A 'tiny' project right? Totally 'harmless'.
Ha!
They are a monopolistic utility. The US entrusted them with monopoly powers and intellectual property rights -- property that never would have existed if not for the Pentagon's ARPANET. Just like phone books, it is difficult to imagine competition in such a registration system.
But ....
... if this contract unravels we could theoretically see overlapping domain name registration systems dueling with each other minute-by-minute. Sounds 'kool', right? Almost like a 'Firesale' that Cloward and Piven would envy.
And ICANN has 'the know-how'. This is key to remember.
They vowed in writing to be an idealistic nonprofit. And their brilliant team [led by ARPANET pioneers] created efficient software [now their copyrighted property], the largest utility on earth and run like Swiss clockwork.
The US needed very little oversight authority because the ICANN team was united and purpose-driven. Their mission was clear.
Another safeguard was geographic. ICANN's headquarters looked as though they would always remain in California.
That's where their founding 'tech guys' lived, where their bulky computer systems were coordinated, and where Federal grant money funded R & D -- it was their practical hub. The location also enjoyed a vigorous pool of college students [with computer science majors] who could get education credits on-the-job and be sized up for future employment.
Why on earth would they move?
But technology now liberates ICANN. Moving overseas is not a problem anymore.
At the same time college professors have steadily eroded American ideals such as 'freedom of speech'. We also import a high percentage of foreign students. Thus ICANN's values became fractured compared to the 'Post Cold War' decade when the nonprofit was founded.
Nowadays ICANN employees love money [which they deserve] -- their salary budget was $400 million in the past three years. They are among the best paid non-profit employees on earth.
I'm glad for them. I hope ICANN's top talent gets rich. They have been doing an outstanding job, and with this current controversy they could use some more perks and appreciation.
But US laws are a byzantine hassle -- let's face it. [Especially in California.] And while Kennedy family members might fleece their own nonprofits for millions, legislators frown on 'mere tech guys' earning too much.
As for Obama? He has done nothing to make ICANN feel patriotic pride for a job well done. Quite the opposite.
Behind the scenes this administration has egged on their leaders to envision a transformation of their nonprofit into something far more powerful than it was ever intended to be -- a 'force for good' that can not only make more money but also crusade against 'US oppression' and 'dangerous hate speech'.
I believe this 'citizens of the world' spirit stems more from ICANN's executives, not its tech guys. 'Higher' Learning has less time to indoctrinate technical majors than it does in its convoluted ideals of leadership.
But it's difficult to know for sure.

ICANN's Dealings with Albright and Condi Rice
It's reasonable to assume that Madam Albright and Condi Rice helped network with foreign power brokers.
They are, after all, running consulting firms that assist lobbyists for ICANN's transition.
Both had been 'Secretary of State'.
This is bipartizan triangulation, [D] and [R], can reach both sides of the aisle here in the US and open a variety of doors overseas.
So what makes these two tick?
~~~
Madam Albright
.
She is the easy one to figure out:
Albright: "Republicans spewing vicious misogyny and anti-women hate speech."
[dailycaller.com back in 2012.]
This year ...
Albright: "... special place in hell for women who don't support Clinton ..."
[Enough said, right? But I have to add -- how 'undiplomatic' of the former chief diplomat.]
~~~
Condi Rice
.
It takes some thinking to understand why a straight arrow like Condi Rice might feel righteous about aiding this transition.
~~~
[The Blaze]
Her prayer when police were shot in Dallas:
As a nation and as a people, we need to race again toward you, into the embrace of your loving arms, she prayed, according to TheBlaze. Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for guidance, we pray for wisdom for our leaders, and we pray that each and every one of us will leave this place justified by faith and secure and confident in your deep, deep love for us.
She also spoke of how bigotry, hatred and intolerance still lingers today and keeps so many Americans divided.
~~~
It makes sense that she's a prayerful Christian just like GW Bush. And it also makes sense that she, like GW, looks at any kind of profiling as 'bigotry'.
She called Islam 'a religion of peace and love'.
She also opposed Trump's muslim ban.
As one headline paraphrased her:
Condoleezza Rice: I Get The Security Concerns, But The US Should Accept Refugees
[unquote]
It is conceivable that she might think that suppression of 'Islamophobic' websites would be good for national security.
She might also hope that ICANN to isolate [or track down] wikileaks and other security breaches.
[ICANN execs could dangle any kind of promises to her like carrots. Their knowledge is very specialized.]
So I could easily view Condi's participation as idealistic.
I bet the leaders in ICANN never let her know about their 'war room' talks. She probably has no idea when they meet to speak candidly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ICANN's Secret Crusade
It's quite simple really. Obama is running out the clock on a key contract. After that ...
A. They will ponder hate speech enforcement. With their power to delete website property, they can either fine or wipe out any website that the globalists and their drones get mad at.
B. They lied about staying in the US and plan to move overseas to bypass US law.
C. ICANN is more than ready for a cyber-war with the US.
They have the software [along with copyrights and experience] to do anything that ANY foreign government deems legal.
To oppose them with a new counter-ICANN in the US would lead to anarchy -- the ultimate cyber-war. If Google sides with them, they would be an unbeatable team.
D. Even if we renew the contract with ICANN before October 1, I seriously doubt that Obama would lift a finger to prevent rogue members of ICANN from flying off anyway, but at least we would have the legal 'high ground' in international law.
E. ICANN's lobbyists are even spreading misinformation that .mil and .gov sites will be protected. They are clearly keeping their options open to consider meddling with US federal and military websites in ways that would enrage us.
~~~
A. Hate Speech Oversight
After that ICANN is free to fly over to one or more other nations, bypass US jurisdiction, then what? They ponder 'hate speech' oversight, such as the Swedish Plan, a global group-hug against hate speech.
[link will be provided for more in-depth]
They have spoken with the French Senate and also had secret talks with China.
That's all we know about. There have undoubtedly been many backdoor meetings in the past year or so all over the globe.
For example -- The UN would want ICANN to 'slant' internet speech to validate the World Court to create a worldwide mandate to arrest US war heroes or politicians for crimes against humanity or crimes against nature [aka 'global warming]. Even a future President. We could resist them militarily and be an 'island fortress', but foreign visits could be dangerous and trade talks could get ugly and sea mines could be 'righteously' laid along our ports. [For starters.]
Bottom line: free speech prevents a world of hurt.
Not only could ICANN regulate hate speech, they could also raise fees across the board which the UN or China or any other country could collect. [Domain name fees.]
~~~
B. Secret Plan to Move Overseas
ICANN's lobbyists have spread confusion throughout congress and in the tech community that they will remain in California.
That is a lie.
Testimony by Paul Rosenzweig:
"ICANN is a non-profit corporation incorporated in California. Some say that this is a check on ICANNs activities, since it would be subject to suit in Americas impartial, professional court system. Indeed, in July, Assistant Secretary Strickling confidently declared ICANN is a California corporation and will remain so.'
"I wish I were as confident as Assistant Secretary Strickling... The idea that ICANN would pack up and move has been contemplated by ICANNs leadership.
"Back in June 2014, ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade announced, in testimony to the French Senate, that the Board had authorized him to begin, as one of five major initiatives, the creation of a 'parallel legal, international structure (maybe in Switzerland) for ICANN.'
"These changes were recommended even though some Members of Congress have explicitly opposed this outcome."
-- Rosenzweig
~~~
C. ICANN more than ready for a cyber-war
Repeating for emphasis:
They have the software [along with copyrights and experience] to do anything [with websites] that ANY foreign government deems legal.
Imagine the problem a President Trump would face.
ICANN's experience dates back to Jon Postel. He was more than their founding 'tech guy', he was their legend. Even his death is considered a mysterious plot.
Before there was an ICANN Postel ran the early internet's domain name registration system as one of ARPANET's pioneers.
When ICANN was founded they set up their headquarters near his California home. And he built up the talented team they are today.
They enjoy more expertise with domain name registration than the rest of the world combined.
Being a nonprofit they will make money no matter how bad the internet gets. In fact, messing it up might be some foreign governments' agenda.
They could find hackers from hell and some of the leftists in Google might slip them some code now and then on the sly.
Ultimately we could build firewalls or a rewiring system they can't penetrate. But before that happens ICANN is capable of crashing the worldwide economy if that's what it takes to reach their holy grail of 'hate speech oversight' or whatever else they seek to achieve.
They could also build nationwide intranets to completely isolate China and other oppressive regimes. That might seem fair, but who cares about fairness to governments? We should care about letting people get informed and be whistleblowers.
D. ICANN would have a much easier time if their IANA contract expires. Then any nation they deal with will arguably have more legal legitimacy than US law. Once the barn door opens, out go the horses.
E. Misinformation that .mil and .gov sites will be protected.
Why did they lie about our military's websites?
Take it to the bank -- ICANN lied:
During Wednesdays's hearing Senator Grassley found no solid reason to believe that our .gov and .mil websites will be left alone. That was his take, and it was backed by professional witness testomony ...
... such as Paul Rosenzweig:
"[The assurances were] made through an exchange of letters. Not only are the letters non-legally binding, they actually acknowledge the possibility that at some point a separation of the IANA function from ICANN might threaten the stability and security of the US governments top level domains. I cant speak for other observers, but for me, as a lawyer, an exchange of letters is a way of avoiding a contractually enforceable obligation. I know why ICANN would prefer that course of action I have no idea why the NTIA [Obama administration] would accept it on behalf of the US government." -- Rosenzweig
That's more than a lie, isn't it?
ICANN wants as much leeway as possible. Why?
They are up to something obviously.
Not only our government websites ...
... but also our MILITARY websites.
The End
ICANN’s Budget
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ted-cruz-kinda-sorta-something-091500132.html.
“This obscure organization has enjoyed revenues of nearly $600 million in the last three years, with one of the highest-paid executive teams in the non-profit world. Theyve spent over $400 million on salaries, consulting and lobbying fees and travel expenses over that three-year period, an incredible burn rate. That includes consulting firms run by Condi Rice and Madeleine Albright, $17.8 million annually for its auditor Ernst & Young and another $6 million for external legal advice.”
Condi Rice and Madam Albright both run consultant firms that assisted the lobby effort.
In-depth research on ICANN’s lobbying that include both Condi Rice and Albright ...
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20160301_how_much_has_icann_spent_on_the_iana_transition
Not so the $1.35m spent on “professional services” which is almost entirely made up of the lobbying firms ICANN has hired in Washington: Albright Stonebridge Group, Rice Hadley Gates, Summit Strategies International, WBC Global and Wiley Rein.
That $1.35m is on top of the $946,000 spent on registered lobbying groups. The $800,000 that ICANN spends on its in-house lobbyist is not mentioned.
Also “language services” is very high at $1.7m. Why? Because for some reason “meeting support” has been added to that sub-group. What does this cover? Probably flights, accommodation and dinners. But again, the figures are not broken out to any useful degree.
Also why is ICANN paying $1m for “secretarial support” when most of that support is provided by staff already on salary?
The reports are specifically designed to hide expenses that the community may have questions about. They are also broken out in 18-month chunks for some inexplicable reason, rather than by fiscal year as it common practice.

ICANN Transition Even Endangers ‘.gov’ and ‘.mil’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3469586/posts
ICANN transition insider Paul Rosenweig warns:
1. Foreign powers will “indisputably have increased influence”.
2. Transition a “leap in the dark”.
3. ICANN planning to move overseas.
4. ‘.gov’ and ‘.mil’ “not assured by any enforeable mechanism”.
So no domain name is safe.
Who is Paul Rosenweig?
He was invited to testify at yesterday’s “internet giveaway” hearing because of his involvement and extensive background:
1. Department of Homeland — deputy assistant secretary for policy.
2. Currently he runs a consulting organization for Homeland.
3. Rosenweig authored and edited numerous books on cyber-security and freedom of speech. [He also produced DVDs on those subjects.]
4. As for his politics, He’s been writing Heritage Foundation columns all the way back to 1977.
[Back in March. It’s not the relevant chairmen stonewalling the Senate. It goes higher than that.]
Cruz, Lankford, and Lee Raise New Concerns About ICANNs Relationship with Authoritarian China
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2603
Mr. Chehadés participation resulted in an agreement to co-chair a high-level advisory committee for the conference, which could make ICANN complicit in the Chinese censorship regime. Since sending our letter, additional evidence has come to light suggesting that ICANNs relationship with the Chinese government may be a systemic problem within the organization itself and not limited to a single individual.
[snip]
“Fadi Chehadé has been called on to recuse himself from all discussions and negotiations pertaining to the IANA transition given a confirmed personal conflict of interest with the Chinese government. Has ICANN taken any action to ensure that Fadi Chade will recuse himself from the IANA transition? If no, please describe the reason for ICANNs inaction.”
[snip]
When ICANN announced it was opening its first global engagement office in Beijing, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) stated that it would invest necessary human and material resources in the construction of the center and actively carry out its functions including the coordination, communication, as well as operation in order to provide effective, long-term and stable services for ICANN to serve Chinas Internet industry. Please provide yes-or-no answers to the following questions:
a. Did CNNIC invest human and material resources in the construction of ICANNs global engagement office in Beijing?
b. Is CNNIC actively carrying out the functions, coordination, communication, or operation of ICANNs global engagement office in Beijing?
c. Do any individuals associated with CNNIC or the Chinese government have a formal or informal role in ICANNs global engagement office in Beijing?
ICANN currently lists the address for each hub office and engagement office on its website except for the engagement office in Beijing.[21] Please provide the address of ICANNs engagement office in Beijing.

The Horse’s Mouth — Transcript of Professional Witness Testimony
http://www.judiciary.senate.gov/download/09-14-16-rosenzweig-testimony
[Very thick but useful for word searches.]
Paul Rosenzweig is the only witness I had time to study on short notice.
If one source fails to suffice he refers to “my Heritage colleague Brett Schaefer”.
The page also adds links to back up each of his claims in the testimony.
Rosenzweig goes on at length about what a joke the “Empowered Community” is. If you google for other sources, bear in mind they often abbrievate it to ‘the community’. The word ‘empowered’ is dropped most of the time.
Ping. Condi Rice and Albright part of the lobby effort. Most likely involved in foreign outreach.
[Anyone want on this Ping list? Ends in early October if not sooner and no more than two pings a day.]
there is not one legal shred of protection for .mil sites or even of .gov
= = =
EEK!
how about .smil ??
Well, we can redirect all .mil and .gov mail to .bs
That would be .bathroom server
Good stuff......but let’s remember.....there’s more than one way to skin these crooked cats.
Good one!
Hillary’s gatekeeper could hide in a toilet.
On January 27, 1998 — ten days after Matt Drudge broke the Monica Lewinsky story — Hillary Clinton told reporters at a White House press conference that the Internet needed an editing function or gatekeeping function.

From above:
” ... if this contract unravels we could theoretically see overlapping domain name registration systems dueling with each other minute-by-minute. Sounds ‘kool’, right? Almost like a ‘Firesale’ that Cloward and Piven would envy.
“And ICANN has ‘the know-how’. This is key to remember.”
New tagline:
Kind of doubtful. They can't really control individual DNS servers within top level domains. What they could do is what you mention, throttle or cut off access for an entire TLD like .mil or .gov And others that I won't even mention on this forum.
There's another threat you have left off which is flooding the internet with useless TLDs. They would be able to intentionally dilute the namespace and remove the influence of say "ford.com" and replace it with "ford.sucks". Even though "freerepublic.com" would not be affected there would be more imposter sites. The crucial factor for that kind of attack would be the involvement of big search engines like google. Together with foreign controlled ICANN they would be able to balkanize and break up the internet.
Ping!
hopefully sen. sessions and his cohorts can throw the anchor out on this scam.
Condi Rice and Madam Albright are both tied to the $2.5 million lobby effort to get ICANN’s internet ‘transition’ passed. [And evidence of ‘walking around money’.]
Who paid that kind of money to get ICANN’s internet “transition” passed???
Although all of it concerns me, this section including Hate Speech is what really concerns me regarding the future of Conservative Political Websites!

~~~
They've essentially already done that. The TLD system is nothing but a license to print almost unlimited amounts of money. Companies have to protect their trademarks in dozens of domains that they have zero interest in using. It's a huge waste of money for many businesses.
This week will be heating up....On Wednesday, Sean Duffy, GOP Rep from Wisconsin, will be updating on his Facebook and his website regarding the Internet Giveaway and the bills being introduced to stop it.
What can be done is to call Senators and Congresscritters and ask them to VOTE FOR THE PROTECTION OF INTERNET FREEDOM ACT. Hoping for vote this week or next...
hopefully sen. sessions and his cohorts can throw the anchor out on this scam.
===========================================\
Senator Sessions and the other 5 Senators need our help to throw the anchor out on this scam. So does Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI) and the other 29 House Reps trying to fight this!
HOUSE BILL HR5418 is READY FOR a VOTE...WE NEED TO CONTACT OUR CONGRESS REPS TO SUPPORT THE PROTECTION INTERNET FREEDOM ACT, HR5418.
SENATE COMPLEMENTARY BILL IS SB3034.
KEY IS GETTING IT VOTED ON THIS TERM. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY REP AND SENATORS ASKING THEM TO VOTE FOR THESE BILLS TO PROTECT INTERNET FREEDOM.
I ALSO WILL BE CONTACTING RYAN AND MCCONNELL OFFICES TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ALLOW THE VOTES.

I find your detailed information intersting.
But ICANN charges a fee for every website. That means they register every domain name and it’s IP address as well as I understand it.
In other words, yes ICANN can delete specific websites unless there’s something I’m missing.
