Title: Bill would give Obama 'emergency' conrtol of internet
Post by: rick91351 on August 28, 2009, 12:00:15 PM
Just in case you missed it from cnet.com news and the Drudge headline but there is a bill that would give Obama 'emergency' control of the internet:

Of course it is all under the name of the need for cybersecurity.  I smell a power of the press issue. 

Wonder if this is the same group that wants to bar conservative talk radio from the air waves?

If they get too intrusive, I'll shut my computer down. 

Heck - I can always consult with the voices in my head if necessary... [waiting]

When they make their final move the net will be taken over. When it happens you'll know.
