POPSThe New Internet 2 and Censorship I shown have details of internet 2 before, but they (Rockefeller's pets, otherwise known as the Obama Administration)are creeping closer to achieving this blatant disregard for human rights. People need to be made aware that this is going on as the Governments Propaganda Department (otherwise known as the mainstream media) will not report on the scale of this or if they do it is done piecemeal and by corrupting and dressing up the facts.

POPSObama could seize the Internet He seized ABC to promote his Health Care. If he can seize the internet, why should he not be able to seize the newspapers, radio, and TV. Does this not scare the hell out of everyone? The enemy is in the White House.

POPSCyber-Security Bill Permits President to "Seize Temporary Control of Private Sector Networks During A So-Called... Emergency The bill would allow the president to unilaterally declare "a cybersecurity emergency" for non-governmental computer networks in order to respond to a threat. Other sections of the bill go even further: they proscribe government-controlled certification programs that license computer security professionals. And it goes on to demand that certain, privately-owned computer systems and networks be managed only by those professionals who have achieved the federal certification. In all seriousness: if you were elected President and wanted to transform the U.S. into a third-world banana republic like Venezuela, how would your policies differ from those of Obama?

POPSBill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
The White House is supposed to 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.) "The language has changed but it doesn't contain any real additional limits," EFF's (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Tien says. "It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There's no provision for any administrative process or review. That's where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it." Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, . . .

POPSAnother Power Grab? "Clinton, of the Internet Security Alliance, praised President Obama's May science policy review, which he said would take cybersecurity in the right direction by promoting incentives to get the private industry to improve its own security measures. But he faulted the Senate bill, which he said would centralize regulations for an industry that is too varied to fall under the control of a single set of rules without endangering the economy and security. "We think a lot of things need to be done to enhance cybersecurity," he told FOXNews.com, but this bill is "not something that we could support." " Here's my simple thought: At what point do we say 'stop'? At what point is the government taking things a step too far? When will Americans wake up?

POPSWe’d All Be Better Off, If The Internet Was Never Invented Cyberspace is the last bastion of free speech and source for non-corporate news and information we have. It's also a thorn in the eye of those who would like to control everything we read and everything we say. All under the guise of "national security". How much do you wanna bet, that these current so-called "cyber attacks" are false flag operations? I'll eat my hat, if they ain't. we’d all be better off if the internet was never invented We? Who we? I know who'd be better off and it sure ain't the little people. :mad:

POPSObama Speaks Out Against Watermarking Rep. Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.) hopes to use the focus on watermarking to spread his own agenda. "Watermarks are the mark of the beast. I want to see them removed from images and I want to see tattoos incorporated into the anti-watermarking bill as well." Controlling watermarking isn't just a problem in the U.S. World leaders have agreed to use military force to rid the world of watermarking--some have even threatened to cut off water supplies to countries that tolerate the harshest watermarking techniques. "If you deprive our citizens of clean images, we will deprive you of the water that is necessary for both watermarking and sustaining your own life" states French President and known consumer of Perrier, Nicolas Sarkozy.

POPS China's Cybertooth Espionage These reports come while the Obama administration is conducting an extensive review of the nation's cybersecurity situation. That report was due April 17 and expected to repeat the recommendations of a study done by the Center for Strategic and International Studies at the request of President Bush. A year ago, the computer network at India's Ministry of Internal Affairs was attacked by Chinese hackers as were the government of Belgium's computers a month later. A cyberattack in June 2007 crippled Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' computer system, leaving some 1,500 Pentagon computers offline for weeks. Among the military units that have been successfully "hacked" are the Army's 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and the 4th Infantry Division. The Canadian research group Information Warfare Monitor reports that a cyberespionage network based in China had infected 1,295 computers in 103 countries and penetrated systems containing systems containing . . . .

POPSCybersecurity Act: President Could Shut Down Internet The language is very vague and the powers broad which would also create another "Czar" of Cybersecurity. (This Czar thing must end. Americans abhor dictators but the government increasingly creates them). The plea of "necessity" again being used for dictatorial powers. The real danger is this: In an "emergency" the internet would be abuzz with people trying to find the truth, but all government powers of FREE PRESS AND FREE SPEECH through the world's largest free medium would be SHUT DOWN. All "news" and information regarding said event would be carried by the (very untrustworthy) MSM Networks and radio and print controlled by newswires. ONLY THE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA would be abolished then under the word of one man, a VIRTUAL DICTATOR. The "official story" of the "emergency" would be the only thing published, perfect for propaganda and controlling all Americans. What about VOIP phone service used by millions, including business?
