Obama Ratifies the ACTA Global Internet Censorship Agreement(W/O Senate)
The Real Agenda ^ | January 26, 2012 | Luis R. Miranda

Posted on 01/27/2012 6:18:00 AM PST by Texas Fossil

In another example of how little Barack Obama cares about the United States Constitution and the role of Congress -as bad as it can be- the current U.S. president ratified the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement or ACTA. President Obama had signed the first binding draft of ACTA last October 1, 2011, also in secret.

As we reported yesterday, ACTA is much more dangerous than SOPA, PIPA or OPEN, because it is the accord that legalizes internet censorship on a global basis. That is why presidents around the planet have received an signed the agreement without any review from their congresses or the people. This globally reaching agreement is often equalled to NAFTA or CAFTA because it standarizes the policies that will govern information trade, just as the other agreements define the rules of the circulation of goods and services between the United States and partner nations.

Well, well, well the puppy just chewed another page from the Constitution.

He says he is about the law, he cannot wait, he must act.

He calls it an “executive agreement” not a treaty.

What will our "reaction" be? What say?

*yawn*

Some will rise and strut and fret his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I truly wish it were otherwise ....

This is just incredibly discouraging to me. This is a huge thing, the president of these United States arbitrarily breaking the laws of the land, and yet there is zero reaction. He is not impeached, the media does not inform the citizens of his actions, but in fact covers for him. Nobody knows about this, and many Americans, even if they did know, wouldn't care. They'd be impressed that he's riding roughshod over “uncooperative” congresses. People have no dignity or integrity anymore, so they fail to see the lack of it in anyone else, including the president.

*yawn*??

My, My, My.

The founding document is trashed by these traitors daily and you simply yawn.

And say you are an Xpat?

The nation still has a solid base who simply do not react that way to his treachery.

Yes, he will be gone. But will the nation ever be the same again?

We shall see.

Treason is a very serious charge, even today.

Any international binding legal doctrine requires Senate approval. Period! This will allow foreign entities to request legal shutdown of any website they deem harmful to their citizenry.

I predict al Jazeera will be calling in a favor to their Mudslime butt brother in the White Hut asking that FoxNews be shutdown for brainwashing the goat humpers in the Arab world.

Spit on Obama! He’s a worthless Communist. There’s no way on Earth that he’s an American, and I pray he’s imprisoned before we have to pay him a presidential pension for the rest of his life.

True

and you simply yawn.

As I said, some will rise and make a lot of noise which will lead exactly nowhere. Why should it be any different this time than ALL of the others up till now?

The nation still has a solid base who simply do not react that way to his treachery.

The problem is, you are wrong. They will react EXACTLY that way to his treachery. They will holler for a day or two, maybe even get a protest together. Then they will tire and return to their daily lives, another liberty shorter.

Treason is a very serious charge, even today.

Not really, since it has been bantered about so much over the years, no one takes the charge seriously anymore. Just try making your case for Treason in the public square and see how seriously you are taken.

AND, if you reread my entire previous post, instead of just the first word, you will realize that I do not like the situation either.

No offense, but Im yawning, too. Our “conservative base” is watching two buffoons bloody eachother in nonsensical liberal media choreographed debates. And fighting over which of these two idiots is our best hope to beat someone who we should be removing by unity, not accusations of who said what or who has more money. The GOP field is an embarrasment and it will only get worse. Put up a real candidate and back him or her unequivically and quit letting the obamas dictate our play. They are laughing at us, and they should, we look like complete dopes.

I was willing to give him a chance at first. But now, I despise every single thing this worthless POS says and does.

History will not remember this son of a bitch kindly.

“the media does not inform the citizens”

Do not loose sight of the fact that the vast majority of campaign monies are spent in the media and that the media are given lots of freebies by the incumbents. And yet the media claims to have no bias, not even to their sources of income. In the old days it was the medias audience that payed the bills, that is not the case anymore.
