The Strategy: Silence us if we get too loud

Sounds crazy! No, they would NEVER cut us off should our tweets get too loud! "Tyranny is Coming, Tyranny is Coming!" Yep, they hear that, and we're just going to be toast. This is what the Cyber Security Act of 2009 COULD be about. We'll see!

Obama Wants Control Over the Internet

From Obama Been Lying (Tyrant President - Killer of Freedom)

August 29th, 2009 Here is the 55-page draft of S.773, the bill that would give Obama the power to shut you up: (http://www.politechbot.com/docs/rockefeller.revised.cybersecurity.draft.082709.pdf)

• permits the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a “cybersecurity” emergency

• president to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” in regards to “non-governmental” networks and do whatever they feel is necessary.

• include a federal certification program for “cybersecurity professionals”

• requirement that some computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded a cybersecurity professional license

• Section 201: permits the president to “direct the national response to the cyber threat” if necessary for “the national defense and security.”

• White House will engage in “periodic mapping” of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies “shall share” requested information with the federal government. “Cyber” is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks

• If your company is considered “critical”, you get regulated. Who you can hire, what info you must disclose, and when the government can take control of your computers and network

First off, this goes against the 1st Amendment on many levels. The US Constitution limits government and favors the people. The Obama Administration and the demacrooks in the Senate are trying to change that. This is a gross violation of privacy. [READ COMPLETE STORY]

Democrats echo Truman and threaten to nationalize Internet

From REDSTATE

Posted by Neil Stevens (Profile) Saturday, August 29th at 9:29AM EDT In 1952, during the Korean War, the United Steel Workers of America had gone out on strike. The union was demanding pay increases beyond what steel firms said they could afford to pay, unless they were to raise prices beyond what would be approved by the government’s Wage Stablization Board (set up for the war to attempt to keep costs in line despite inflationary government policies). President Harry Truman, Democrat, unilaterally declared the steel firms to be at fault for the strikes, which were set to cripple Defense contractors’ ability to keep the war supplied. So, the President nationalized America’s steel manufacturing plants with the plan of dictating his own terms to the unions, appeasing them as part of his political base, while keeping afloat an early front of the Cold War. The Supreme Court two months later shut the President down, denying the administration’s claim that he had broad implied or residual powers to do whatever he wanted as President of the United States. Had he relied on the Selective Service Act to take control, he might have gotten away with it, but he refused to use it because it had too many pesky controls to protect property rights. Had he relied on Taft-Hartley to stop the strikes, he might have gotten away with it, but he refused to use it because the unions were his allies. So today, it is surely with the case of Youngstown Sheet & Tube co. vs Sawyer in mind that the Congress debates giving President Barack Obama, Democrat, sweeping authority over Internet Service Providers, including the authority to nationalize whatever Internet resources he declares to be important. S. 773, a bill by West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Democrat, has a 55-page draft bill that would create new “emergency” powers for the President, a ‘cybersecurity’ Enabling Act of sorts, that would give the President the authority broad powers over any “non-governmental” computer networks, whether public or private, that are declared by the President to be “critical.” On its own, this power is already dangerous, and even frightening to anyone in the industry. Whether large or small, we all who operate on the Internet invest in online capital. Large firms spend billions on the task, and now the Democrats want to nationalize it at the drop of a hat. This is threatened theft on a scale not usually seen outside banana Republics. (Emphasis mine) [READ FULL STORY]

MY COMMENT: This bill sounds quite insidious, to say the least. The author, Neil Stevens, hits it on the nose in this column. Be sure to read the comments at the end of the column, too. As one comment (by MathMom) mentions, "The internet is the lifeline of the Right. The Left has co-opted the major media outlets and all “news” magazines. ABC and NBC won’t air an ad opposing government-issued health care. Our way of getting the word out is by the internet. If Bambi takes that over, the US is over." It could not be better said!

Will bill give Obama control of Internet? ~ By Drew Zahn

Proposed new powers called 'drastic federal intervention' By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily A pair of bills introduced in the U.S. Senate would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared "cyber emergency." Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., are both part of what's being called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, 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. A working draft of the legislation obtained by an Internet privacy group also spells out plans to grant the Secretary of Commerce access to all privately owned information networks deemed to be critical to the nation's infrastructure "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access." Privacy advocates and Internet experts have been quick to sound the alarm over the act's broadly drawn government powers. "The cybersecurity threat is real," says Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, which obtained the draft of S.773, "but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy." "The whole thing smells bad to me," writes Larry Seltzer in eWeek, an Internet and print news source on technology issues. "I don't like the chances of the government improving this situation by taking it over generally, and I definitely don't like the idea of politicizing this authority by putting it in the direct control of the president."
