“Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn have warned that transfer of U.S. control of ICANN will give China, Russia and Iran, whose governments censor websites and online commentary critical of their policies, more control over the internet.”
Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and other entities who believe, in the words of Barack Obama (who has initiated this transfer), that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
But “New America is a Washington, D.C. think tank. Its fellow Danielle Kehl wrote in a New York Times column this week that the U.S. government’s ceding of power will actually bolster internet freedom by bringing businesses and civil society groups to the table.” New America is funded by George Soros, who has never shown himself to be a friend of the freedom of speech or free society.
So this could be it, friends. I’ve been updating Jihad Watch day in and day out since October 2003, and if the Internet passes into the hands of those who are committed to destroying the freedom of speech (and there are many of those, and they are powerful; I’m just finishing up my next book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies), which tells the whole appalling story), before too long I could have quite a bit of time on my hands.
The thing is, if we lose the Internet as a platform for the truth amid the mainstream media lies and distortions, it will be a terrific blow, but the struggle for freedom will not be over. We will find other platforms, we will organize in different ways. The political and media elites are increasingly fearful of losing their grip, and are becoming increasingly authoritarian as a result. They may succeed in driving us underground. They will never succeed in silencing us.
Why has not Congress voted on this? Or did the reps and the senators accept to hand over the Internet to the barbarians?
Where is the “US” Congress?
Protecting, arming, and defending al Qaeda and Iran,
every last stinking EXEMPT one.
It wasn’t broke. Why did obama need to fix it?
Congress has failed us if we cannot block this.
I believe that they did, in that budget thing which just recently passed yesterday or the day before.
The US Congress is totally in favor of this.
Guys like Mitch McConnell and John McCain would like nothing better than to put Super Mods in control if the interwebs. It’s been the bane of their political existence lo these many years.
The UniParty is doing this because they would like to do what they know the foreign tyrants will do with the internet. The UniParty wants internet censorship and control. They are afraid to do it themselves but they will be very happy when foreigners do it for them and they can take cover in this "internationally agreed practice."
I think they are on vacation. This is the part that infuriates me. If I were in Congress. I would take a TV crew to the White House with me and I would wage a sit in and invite all freedom loving Americans to join me. Let’s see how Obummer could ignore that.
“Relax” - What the vampire says right before he bites.
Actually the Texas AG, seen on Varney & Co., said that, that was one of the points they were making. A "department" of the U.S. cannot give away something belonging to the U.S. This is the business of the Congress --- ya know, those weasley, spineless fellows we voted into office.
And that REALLY is all you need to know.

There is no "up-side" for the U.S. in this deal. And, that is why BO wanted this. It is just his way of kicking us in the teeth one more time.
IMHO --- BO hates us. He hates the country and he doesn't much like the people who inhabit it.
If someone wanted to destroy the U.S. from within; exactly what would they have done differently from BO? He is the enemy. And, he is the POTUS. This gives him a lot of power to make the "fundamental" changes that he wanted to make. Apparently, those changes are to bankrupt us and to make us less powerful in the world.
Please see post #15. That is what will happen, innovation will play its winning hand.
Most have been bought and are compromised
I hate Congress. I think I’m actually going to vote for Trump and no one else. Republicans don’t deserve another term.
Handing over control of the Internet is a big, big, BIG mistake.
