Obama to Acquire Control of the Internet?
We warned this would happen many months ago. Yet, here we are today, and people are surprised by this blatant move to assert control over the Internet and, indirectly, over those who use it. That would be you and me! CNET NEWS has an article by Declan McCullagh titled: “Bill would give president emergency control of Internet.” You will find the article HERE.
In his article Mr. McCullagh says: “Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.
They’re not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors.” Mr. McCullagh goes on to say: “The new version would allow the president to “declare a Cybersecurity emergency” relating to “non-governmental” computer networks and do what’s necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for “Cybersecurity professionals,” and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.”
In his article Mr. McCullagh says: “CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773, which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called Cybersecurity emergency.” You’ll find an excerpt from Senate Bill S. 773 HERE.
Looking closely at this bill one soon understands that it is a strong-arm tactic to take responsibility for Cybersecurity from Homeland Security and give it to the White House and Obama’s minions. (Or, should I say Obama’s Praetorian Guard?)
At the risk of upsetting some of you, I must say I have not witnessed such power grabbing since the Nazis seized control of Germany before the Second World War. Of particular concern is Senate Bill 778, which would create a new Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, reportable directly to the president and charged with defending the country from cyber attack. What we are looking at, dear reader, is being referred to by those who oppose it as drastic federal Intervention! I must say, I agree.
There is another article found HERE and titled: “A Bill to Shift Cybersecurity to White House.” To get an even better understanding of the control the White House will have over the Internet we recommend you read this article, as well.
My friend, Texas Fred, has an excellent article on this very thing over at his site. The title of his article is: “Bill would give president emergency control of Internet.” You’ll find it HERE.
The question is… how much control is enough control for Obama’s White House? Or, how much control is TOO much control for the American people? When do we say ENOUGH and say it loud and clear so that those barricaded inside the White House hear us and understand that they are treading on some very tender toes, indeed.
It is not just our toes the Obama Administration is treading on it is, in my opinion, the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution they are treading on, as well. The Fourth Amendment is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. When one reads the proposed new law, one has to ask if Obama is intending to suspend the Fourth Amendment?
Little by little, day-by-day, as the Obama Regime grows new tentacles, their mad grab for power and absolute control becomes more expansive. They are quickly gaining control over every facet of our daily lives. Privacy is a thing of the past in Obama’s America.
All of this leads me to ask: When will the backlash begin?? When will the American people say enough of Obama and his socialist utopia agenda?
It is an awesome thing when the American public rises up in righteous anger as much of the world can attest. The tar is being heated, the chickens are being plucked, and the rails are being split. Washington had best prepare for a tsunami of American anger to surge through its marble halls sweeping the rot of socialism before it into the gutter of American history where it rightfully belongs.

Until late June, 09, I was just a voyeur on the web. That was when I found this site. I liked what I read and made comments numerous times. Shortly later, the owner invited me to contribute some essays. I obliged him and warned that the content of the site might garner the ire of the ‘powers that be’. Sure enough, the SOB’s (Sycohphants O’ Bama) hacked in and nearly destroyed this great venue. The same may happen with the others where I contribute my two amero sense. Until then, we must be as vociferous before we are undone.
I sent this message to most senators and several reps. Whether we like them or not, they are all we have to somewhat represent us. The destroyers are relentless. We word warriors must be as tenacious as the enemy. Write right and write right often.
Blog in Townhall forum in response to article by Michael Barone today:
For more that five years, we of the like minds sent numerous letters suggesting how to safe guard our homeland against alien infiltration:
1. We urged the legislators to mandate the protection of both borders with with armed troops: No less than 60-80,000 south and 50-70,000 north. Squads should be posted no more than 1/4 mile of separation. Larger forces at the rear would be available when conflicts arise. Too late, our soldiers are occupied to secure ‘freedoms’ in foreign lands.
2. Two summers ago, we ‘word warriors’ waged a vociferous campaign against McCain’s amnesty bill. We won, but too late.
3. We suggested the formation of a real cavalry–on horseback–than noisy and inefficient ATV’s. Recently, wild mustangs are now being broken by prison inmates for that purpose. About time, but too late.
4. We used our pens and keyboards to warn the people of the danger of a Marxist in the white house. We used the analogy of ‘how to cook a frog’. If the water in the pot is too hot, the frog would leap out of it. If it does not, the frog is likely dead. Obama’s ‘fast and furious’ pace could be a chink in his ambitious armor. While Americans are awakening, the donkeys are yet hungover from the intoxication of their triumph over the pachyderm. If they don’t sober up soon, the thuggish politburo will soon supplant them. If the frogs in government are cooked, what will become of the tadpoles?
Conclusion:
For more than twenty years, this government has ignored the need of secure borders to maintain our sovereignty. Greed for the bottom line, they refused to gird the borders. Now, we have a ‘president’ who seeks the denouement of our dominion–or what is left of it. Are we too late to eject this flotsam from our ship of state–the country he obviously despises?

Townhall.AOL forum, retro impeachment, 30 Aug 09:
Three days ago, I posted this message on several blogs, including the blight house ‘snitch site’:
I saw this coming months ago. I call it ‘retroactive impeachment’. I know that phrase sounds oxymoronic, yet how else can one describe this psychotic regime but as a gang of brutish oxen herding the morons of this nation?
They will pick on the little guys at first. The allegations will trickle up the order to Cheney and Bush. The ‘world court’ will indict them for ‘crimes against humanity’.
No sitting president has ever permitted such a ploy to suborn his predecessor. The pragmatic reason is that all presidents fear reprisal by their successors. So what is Obama’s rationale to tempt his own fate? Simple. He believes his ‘successor’ will be himself. Worse, he may realize his whimsical dream–the first and last president of the NWO.
I’ll wager 5,000 ameros that it is so. I have spoken boldly like this for years before Glenn Beck urged us so do likewise.
awl
Such ignorant propaganda. A bill that Obama neither drafted nor commented on, but it is apparently Obama’s attempt to take over the internet huh? Stop with the blatent bias and maybe try reporting some facts.
