The election is a lot further away than this issue. Trump is on record opposing this internet giveaway.

So why is it that people want to abandon the issue and just ‘drop’ it and suppress others?

You were curious about this article:

China’s Conquest of Internet, ICANN + Quantum Encryption
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3473008/posts

... and asked for extensions.

I’ll just do some posting on it here.

China is now in a position to shift the ‘Brain Drain’ for the foreseeable future. And ICANN wishes to assist. As you know, they are allies:

Point 1: ICANN and China are allies.

[Point 1 — ICANN and China are allies — post above.]

Point 2 — China in position to beat us in a full-blown cyber war.

We all know how vulnerable our encryption is. Such as the NSA being hacked. But China now has the best encryption in the world:

Now for Point 3 ...

China is raiding the world’s tech-talent. Canada complained that we raided their talent. They call it ‘the Brain Drain’.

Ever since Einstein fled from the Nazis, the world’s top tech talent has drained from the world into the USA. Now China is in position to change that, and ICANN intends to help:

Here’s copy-paste info to inform newbies:

ICANN is NOT a ‘phone book’, DAGNABBIT!

Too many people are confused.

Let’s cut through the lies and make this as simple as ‘ABC’.

So if ICANN and China team up to dominate the internet, some people think that we could fight back with firewalls. A balkanized internet.

But the boundries would be both physical and intellectual.

All the titans of the internet: google, amazon, facebook, and twitter — they don’t need the ‘free speech’ zone of the internet anymore. They could unite the rest of the internet where tyrants want to censor free speech.

Regarding “China’s Conquest of Internet: ICANN and China are allies” - China “hosting” ICANN:

It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used.

Snippets from an open letter than ‘outs’ ICANN as an ally with China:

ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé stated in his opening remarks, “China is going to be a central part of where the Internet community, as we know it, is heading.

[The new hub on the internet — not in the US but in China]

[snip]

In addition, ICANN announced during the meeting that it would open its first global engagement office in Beijing

[snip]

Honorary Chairman of CNNIC’s Steering Committee stated that the “ICANN Engagement Center-Beijing would be not only a new link for ICANN to better develop and promote China’s Internet community, but also a new platform for China’s Internet community to better contribute to the development of the global Internet.”[5]

Also ‘the acme of skill’ at conquest ... I forget the exact wording, but China is seeking to finesse its conquest.

Once the ‘brain drain’ shifts from the US to China their power will ascend while our power eclipses.

ICANN knows how the TLDs work.

And other governments who feel wobbly about opposing US dominance of the internet will feel emboldened when they speak with a ‘free range’ ICANN.

The brain drain already begins to shift out of the USA.

Why bring cutting edge tech to the US when we keep getting hacked? It’s too hazardous for innovators.

But if we can keep ICANN a little longer, Trump can shore up our encyrption and take measures against China’s plan.

The Republicans need an emotional issue that’s going nowhere ahead of the election so you forget about their contempt of “We The People” on issue after issue.

That’s why we’re talking about it now.

Its a “Sham Wow” issue like Obamacare (the never reversed it and never intend to), the Iran Nuclear Deal (enabled by the Republican Corker Bill) coming from politicians like Ted Cruz now trying to get back into good graces after the debacle of #NeverTrump.

The decision has been made and public pressure is irrelevant. See Obamacare on how to hijack an entire industry by the DC lawyer politicians. This decision has already been finalized!

So its bad like the Iran Nuclear Deal was bad and Obamacare was bad.

We had show votes on those issues where each issue was approved in the end.

So you think this is a sham issue?

ICANN has legal authority over most of the internet [via TLDs] and Obama is granting them sovereignty — no longer subject to US law.

What is SHAM about that?

And by the way, are you saying that these men are all trying to trick us and fearmonger us?

Donald Trump

Senator Jeff Sessions

Congressman Louis Gohmert

Senator Grassley

Senator Mike Lee

Just a bunch of fakes?

Why not go one step further?

Maybe congress wants to nationalize the elections and put Obama in charge of them.

Why bother to vote?

Same as what you’re saying.

But I don’t discourage people from voting or calling congress.

To: Neoliberalnot; bushwon

What public pressure?

All congress is seeing is public confusion on this issue. People don’t know what to think. The election is quite enough to mentally sort out.

But despite a lack of public awareness many in congress are trying to fix this anyway.

Do you want to make Gohmert, Sessions, Grassley, and Mike Lee feel isolated without support?
