Two snippets:
The Obama administration has announced plans to regulate the Internet through the Federal Communications Commission, extending its authority over broadband providers to police web traffic, enforcing “net neutrality.” [snip]
The bill, however, would radically redefine how the FEC regulates political commentary. A section of the DISCLOSE Act would exempt traditional media outlets from coordination regulations, but the exemption does not include bloggers, only “a communication appearing in a news story, commentary, or editorial distributed through the facilities of any broadcasting station, newspaper, magazine or other periodical publication…” [snip]

“In a 2001 interview (one that only recently has gone viral and caused a brouhaha), Cass Sunstein, now the nation’s regulatory czar, is overheard advocating for government to insist all websites offer opposing viewpoints — or, in other words, a “Fairness” Doctrine for the Web.”
[Sunstein added that they should be willing to mandate speech regulation. He later backed out because the internet was more complicated than he first thought. Others have not — one being justice nominee, Kagan the Wacko. Next about her.]

Inside the Brain of Soros [his inspiration — Karl Popper]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2511282/posts?page=1
http://joytiz.com/2010/soros-idol-suppress-disagreement-by-force
The great mentor of Soros was Karl Popper:
“Popper argued that humans have only two possible destinies: one was to live in a closed society in which everyone was forced to believe the same thing. The other would be an open society free of nationalisms and tribal wars.” [Snip]
The goal: a closed society [elites ruling the peons]. If pro-peon arguments sound silly, great — let them keep yammering. But if the pro-peons get too persuasive, Popper believes in using force to silence them.
