Don’t you just love how the master minds release this stuff AFTER they pass it? “You will swallow this pill, and now that we’ve force you to, we will tell you what you’ve taken”. This is Obamacare all over again. It’s the absolute definition of un-American and everything to do with tyranny. Just on that reason alone should it be made invalid. How far are they going to go before they incite rebellion? It seems they want to find out don’t they.

My feeling is this is a battle between two groups of crony capitalists being fought through the FCC commission. This is not a battle between Free Markets and Communism. This is not a sign of the end times.

This is basically distributors vs. content providers. The distributors normally have the upperhand in a free market because they can always threaten to throttle content, while content providers can only threaten to deny content. So long as there are plenty of people desperate to generate content, the distributors have a hammerlock on the content providers.

The FCC sided with the content providers most likely because they gave them more money under the table. When the distributors up the ante, the FCC will modify the rules in favor of the distributors.

I briefly scrolled through the document and ran across the following:

“Al Franken, Edward J. Markey, Bernie Sanders, Ben Cardin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Charles E. Schumer, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, and Ron Wyden”

When you see that, you just know that something bad is happening.

Not surprisingly, “fair” appears 84 times in this document.
