That is a very misleading headline by TechWorld.
The very first sentence explains that this has NOT been approved by the Senate but by a Senate committee.
Hopefully the pubbies will grow some cojones and stop this Marxist takeover.
Won't say my call on an open forum, but I will tell you that this bullshit is exactly why I got my license a few years ago. When the Government shuts down the internet and phone communications, all we'll have left are us ham radio guys that have been preparing for a scenario like this for years now.
Ironic that this bill would pass through this Senate Committee on Field Day.
Speaking of, I'm off to my field day location for the day. Starts in about 30 minutes, just enough time for me to get there...
"This is not a new world. It is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements. Technological advances and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that proceeded it, it has one iron rule: Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace."
“Changes are needed to ensure that cybersecurity measures do not unnecessarily infringe on free speech, privacy, and other civil liberties interests,” the letter added”
BUT, if it’s NECESSARY to infringe on free speech, privacy, and other civil liberties interests, ANYTHING GOES.
I dream for the days when public hangings for treason becomes common place, with fairness and legal authority of course.
Good.
As a U.S. citizen I do not live in the U.S., but was out in the streets against Noriega. Now it is your turn. But it will never happen because you are a bunch of chickens.
Where have you been against Obama but hiding under you beds. You have done nothing, nothing but complain and whine… doing nothing.
Do you think the blue helmets are going to save your asses?
Thank you for giving my country away because of your lack of spine but are talented in whining.
I would really like to say “go to hell” to all of you spineless creeps, but Obama is doing it for me.
Absolutely not. I will never believe ANYTHING that filthy bastard ever has to say.
Wow, that was fast. I hit send and looked at the thread and it was there. *grin*
Thanks!
Wow. And here I thought I was working as hard as I can every day, by every means I can think of, to restore America’s principles and republican self-government. Who knew?
It was tried in effect. Bush and his AG wanted databases on all Internet activity. Remember that? Guess who was cheering it on? Only the Brain Numbed Loyal As Sheep Dogs Rockefeller GOP Bushbots in FR that's who.
Where is the ACLU??
( Conservatives Organizing to Defeat Obama in the next election cycle.Fascism on the rise.)
If they have their preferences, you betcha.
Helping wire the switch.
If we had any real journalists in this country the quesioned would be asked: “Why would you need to shut down communication during an attack? Wouldn’t just the opposite be better?”
btt
One would think. At least for a free people.
Interesting that you had to get a license.
