Rockefeller clearly has no idea what 4chan is.

My previous post got wiped out when the duplicate thread was pulled. Before this happens, develop mesh networks in your own communities. Use 802.11b/g routers with OLSR networking. Have a functional community network that is independent of the ISP based internet connectivity. It's not hard to do. The Germans have a find "Freifunk" network between their homes. It shares connectivity to the ISPs, but also allows independent connectivity within a community. Do it now while you have access to the raw materials. TCP/IP networking was designed to be robust and capable of resisting damage and attacks.

This was inevitable. The internet is being used effectively to expose The Marxist Onada and his band of commie thugs. They have to find a way to try and put a cork in it.

Personally, I don’t think he will be successful—either in the short or long term. Grass roots conservatives have now been blooded as far as organizing goes—what with the Tea Parties and the Onadacare Town Meetings. That genie is now out of the bottle.

Here we go people. Tyranny begins with controlling information and keeping people in the dark. They have much control over the news medai (though not yet total control). If they get this passed they will be able to control the formerly uncontrollable. This administration is taking to heart what they have learned with respect to the Iranian “revolution” and do not want a similar event here.

This one should be pinged and emailed to everyone we can think of IMHO! When it comes to handing over our cyberfreedom to the government in the name of security, I’d rather take my chances. Hey UN and Federal Government: Keep your filthy paws off the Internet!!!

It will be ineresting to see what happens if the question of the eligibilty of Barry Soetoro makes some progress. If that happens will the fascist takeover pause or will people like Rookefeller seek to accelarate the liberal fascist state?

CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.

If “The pen is mightier than the sword”, then what do you think a Totalitarian in the 21 Century could do thru enslavement of the Internet as his Tool of choice?

If America is OK with the possibility of 0bama gaining such a power, then the America I once knew no longer exists.

You’ll start to see hoarding of computer equipment much the same as you have seen the hoarding of guns and ammo!

They’re just trying to stimulate the economy!

Had the Republicans and G.H.W.B. proposed this then it would have looked like Vlad Drakul had come to Washington with all the impaled corpses along the Beltway.

Right. Because the Prez and a bunch of bureaucrats are more qualified than me to handle cyber security. When the justification for a law is clearly a lie it's time to worry.
