“GIVING AWAY CONTROL OF THE INTERNET OR ANY PART OF IT IS SHEER LUNACY", JIM ROBINSON
(Vanity)

Posted on 09/26/2016 11:46:33 PM PDT by The Westerner

Several days ago, I pinged JimRob to ask his opinion of turning ICANN (internet domain name registry) over to Obama's soulmates, countries that hate America for its individualism and proud history, Jim answered with one line, quoted in the title. There is a way to block the transfer by contacting these Congressmen and demanding they stop the transfer on Oct. 1.

Folks we have 3 days before it is too late, please consider making just one phone call—more if you can... "Protecting Internet Freedom Act" Senate Bill 3031 House Resolution 5418

The "Protecting Internet Freedom Act" is about keeping our American invention in America: the internet.

Without Drudge or Free Republic, how will we communicate? Only a dumbed down, numbed out, populace could be docile and unaware of what this means. Already our Privacy is a thing of the past. Let's be heard! make Let this Congress know we are paying attention. Demand they squash Obama's illegal transfer of control of this priceless treasure: our internet. Don't let it go!

And like Nixon opening Red China during the Cold War. Then a rush of business escaped America’s massive regulatory maze for the simplicity of bribing only a few corrupt officials. Voila inexpensive goods for Americans produced by slave labor.

“It’s like Jimmy Carter giving away the Panama Canal.”

And then Clinton, by way of Carters agreement, eventually giving administrative control of the Panama Canal to Hutchinson Wompoa (spelling?), a known Chinese “Peoples Army” front company.

All this as return payment for special (illegal) financial favors to socialist (DNC umbrella) political campaigns and organizations across America.

I agree, this is squarely an administrative give-away of US internet control to a known anti-American political organization, in an attempt to ultimately eliminate ALL conservative and pro-American speech, any dissenting speech, any “hate speech”, and ultimately to tax all (*once free) market transactions.

This alone tells us who Obama and his masters really are!

The individuals mentioned above Harry Reid et al are exactly the people you DON’T want to call because it only fuels the fire of the Internet giveaway.

Call your mayor, townsmen, school boards, your Sen, Congcritter etc....

Calling John Cornyn , Nanny & her side-car beotch tiny one-eyed Harry imho is a exercise in futility. These are the very authors of the Internet giveaway- just like they authored ObamaCare...

I don’t buy anything from CHINA if I know it. I pay
attention to tags and markings. In fact, I’m very careful
where my food is produced. - I can’t afford a lot of the
ritzy “organic” stuff; but we do some organic gardening.

I do have to admit that some of the best chicken we’ve had
over the years was organic; also eggs. Fang is sort of
huffy about buying “cheap”. I try to get along with him &
do understand his concern over money. It takes less good
quality food than it does lower quality.

Why are all the politicians planning some vote on it in the coming days????

Because they really care about it or because there’s an election coming up in November.

The Washington DC tradition of ‘show votes’ continues IMHO.

Better get started on McConnell. If there is a way to screw us, he will find it. With him it’s all about him; we know that in KY.

I’ve learned over several years that letters, emails and phone calls to anyone in congress is useless. You get canned responses to letters or emails that for the most part are nothing more than talking points. When you call if you get to speak to someone they say they’ll pass your concerns on which is total BS.

The concerns of the real American people (there’s only about %50 left) are irrelevant to those in Congress. It’s all about them and how to make $$, stay in power and remove as many liberties they can from the citizens. It has nothing to do with America.

Too many people are confused.

Let’s cut through the lies and make this as simple as ‘ABC’.

‘Please forgive the wonky formatting above..’

That’s why I always promise links in followup posts.

HTML formatting takes up valuable time and hides the web addresses.

My strategy is always to entice people to [Control A, copy paste] and keep a copy of everything at once — quickly.
