Obama & FCC seize control of the internet

Today the FCC voted 3-2 to allow the federal government to regulate internet content.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said “for the first time, we’ll have enforceable rules of the road to preserve Internet freedom and openness. Only in the mind of a totalitarian, socialist can total regulation over the content that the American public will be allowed to see can you call what happened today FREEDOM.

The socialist left gives lip service to freedom and equality but what they really mean by this is that they want complete government regulation of industry, the economy, and absolute control of the population.

One of the surest ways to control the population is to control the information the population has access to. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao knew this which is why they had complete and total control of the information the population had access to and this is what the FCC’s move is all about – CONTROL.

To this day China still has absolute control over what the Chinese population is able to access on the internet. Hugo Chavez just took control of the internet in Venezuela, the Hungarian government also took control of the internet this week, and the United Nations is calling for new, global internet regulation.

What we are seeing is a coordinated effort by the socialists to seize control of the electronic media. This move is not about allowing competitors to transmit data over rival networks as it is being spun by the socialist media, it is about controlling access to information.

A Federal Court already ruled against the FCC in this matter earlier this year when it filed suit against Comcast for not giving equal treatment to a competitor who was transmitting data over their network. Comcast argued that the FCC forfeited the right to regulate broadband when it deregulated the internet, a decision that was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2005.

Obama and the FCC have to know this decision will be challenged in court again, however, it has not stopped them from taking this unprecedented step to suppress free speech in America. Once the damage has been done and liberty has been usurped, it will be nearly impossible to gain our freedom back; as Ronald Reagan said “those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

    Here’s Looking At You, Citizen

    I am the eye in the sky, Looking at you
    I can read your mind
    I am the maker of rules, Dealing with fools
    I can cheat you blind
    And I don’t need to see any more
    To know that I can read your mind

    Those who share George Orwell’s concerns about Big Brother can forget the black helicopters and start worrying about the drones. Those Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to which the U.S. military in Afghanistan has shifted so much of its intelligence-gathering duties have become popular with domestic law enforcement agencies as well. And therein lies the potential problem. An Air Force intelligence brief has recently surfaced which holds that should UAVs incidentally capture surveillance video of Americans, the data can be stored and analyzed by the Pentagon for up to 90 days:

    Texas Rated Number One For Business – California Comes In Dead Last

    As a Business Development consultant called on by CEOs around the nation to help them grow their business in tough times and good ones for decades now, one of the privileges I have is to live in the family and business friendly State of Texas. Years ago after a successful career at Microsoft and 9 other corporations, our family decided to take time to move from Washington State to a place of our choosing. We spent two years looking at several States close to the water with warmer climates like Hawaii, Florida and California. One day our research showed Texas as a possible great place to check out.

    By God’s Grace, we discovered Houston, TX and after just a few days here, we fell in love with the friendliest large city in the nation. In my years of traveling for IBM, I had the blessing of working at several large cities around the nation.

    The Fruits Of Socialism And Capitalism

    Hugo Chavez recently blamed his country’s economic woes on “unfettered” capitalism. In the same breath he said that if a particular industry could not deliver its goods and services to the consumer at the prices set by the socialistic government of Venezuela that he would nationalize that industry.

    The absurdity of these conflicting notions becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in the hands of a “compassionate” dictator.

    Beneath the velvet glove of a “compassionate” dictator, lies the mailed fist of a tyrant. When we leave the corporal works of mercy to the government we will be enslaved rather than free, and we will be made poor rather than prosperous, and our souls will be made sick.

    You can see what the Socialists really have in mind for us through the glimpses

    God may be your co-pilot, but Big Brother is calling dibs on shotgun in your car. Actually, rather than occupying the front passenger seat, he may be hiding away in a less visible location in the vehicle. Gearhead blog The Truth A

    bout Cars reports that the new Transportation Bill may mandate black boxes in all new cars which will record data about where and how you drive:

    The new highway bill recently passed by the U.S. Senate, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act or MAP21, has come under some criticism, in part because of a provision that would give the IRS power to strip American citizens of their U.S. passports if they own the federal government enough money. Another provision of S.1813 also has civil liberties implications, particularly for motorists. If the Senate’s version of the legislation survives the reconciliation process with the House,

    What Can I Do To Stem The Tide Of Racial Division That Obama Has Promoted?

    love today’s article in American Thinker by Lloyd Marcus; he is a Black, conservative patriot. I am a White, conservative patriot; and I am having the same troubling thoughts as Marcus is having. What can I do to stem the tide of racial division that Obama and his crowd are stirring up and promoting in this country?

    My husband coached for 36 years in Texas. I was a classroom teacher for more than 33 years and taught in 14 different schools. I grew up in New Mexico, a melting pot of people, many from various Hispanic origins.
