Ceding the Internet

“  U.S. cedes control of Internet infrastructure to the UN "Congress needs to prevent the Obama Administration from giving away U.S. control over the Internet to any international body.  To allow the free speech rights of U.S. citizens to be threatened by international bodies that don't recognize these fundamental rights is dangerous and a threat to our national sovereignty.  Perhaps this latest egregious action by the Obama Administration in their quest to deconstruct the United States will finally wake Congress up to their power of the purse responsibility as a co-equal partner in government."

He would love to see the American era, which began in 1945, come to an end. He doesn’t want America to be the world’s sole superpower,” D’Souza said. “Now you can’t remake America in two years or four years, maybe not even in eight years, but you sure can do it in 16 years and that’s sort of Obama’s long-term plan. “He wants to make a baton hand-off to a hand-picked successor so that his project can be completed, if not by 2016, then shortly thereafter.” Obama, he believes, is “trying to reduce America’s footprint” globally. “He’s also a redistributionist not just in America but on the global scale. So he wants to redistribute money within America, yes, but he also wants to redistribute money away from America to the rest of the world and America’s debt is part of a way to do this,” D’Souza said. “A lot of our debt now is owed to foreigners, so when we accumulate this staggering debt, we’re essentially shoveling dollars away from the United States and toward Kuwaitis and Saudis and Chinese and so on.” Best Quote They have, for 20 years or so, wanted to TAX our Internet to distribute First World wealth to Third World despots. They want to charge for each e-mail you receive and send. When this thing comes under international control, the 57 nation Muslim voting bloc will dominate decision making as to what is allowed and what is not. Add to that 57 the various communist and authoritarian dictatorships. Goodbye, free speech. The First Amendment only extends to the water's edge, folks. They will tax the 'net, and they will regulate the 'net. Our children will inherit SH1T from us. We failed them. I am sooo angry. I'll burn off my anger by tormenting some orcs.
