If there is any doubt about the Totalitarian nature of the Transnational Progressive movement, this should erase that. A bill proposed by Sen Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) would give our wannabe Dictator Barack Hussein Obama, total control over the Internet. The pretext would be a Cyber emergency. The question I have is what would define this emergency?
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. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
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.
“I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its vagueness,” said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which counts representatives of Verizon, Verisign, Nortel, and Carnegie Mellon University on its board. “It is unclear what authority Sen. Rockefeller thinks is necessary over the private sector. Unless this is clarified, we cannot properly analyze, let alone support the bill.”
Read the rest.
For years during the Bush Administration, the Progressive attack machine complained about Telecoms cooperating with the government over Terror related issues. They are going beyond anything the previous administration ever did. This is another case of them projecting their goals onto their opponents actions.
This bill must be opposed and hopefully the Grass Root protests that have slowed down the Eugenics based Obamacare, will turn their energies to this. This idea of giving Obama, who has shown dictator like tendencies this power is dangerous for our Republic. The Progressives will stop at nothing in imposing their Neo-Feudal State and silencing their critics. This blog, without question would be on the list to be shut down. We must not let them, write to your congressmen and email this story please! Do it for the sake of our Nation do something about this!
