The Ministry of Truth? The FCC moves to regulate the internet
Having failed in its previous bid to regulate the internet with ” Net Neutrality,” the FCC is changing tactics and moving forward using another angle to try to gain control over the internet– reclassifying it from an information service to a telecommunications service.
If the FCC is able to reclassify the internet it will give the federal government broad powers to regulate the internet, even though federal law states that the internet “unfettered by Federal or State regulation.”
This is something that Barack Obama is pushing for, after all he did say that information is a distraction and a diversion to Americans, and he also said that this information is putting pressure on our country and on our democracy.
Maybe information is putting too much pressure on Barack Obama and it is making it harder for him to push his radical agenda as people find out the truth about him. Maybe when he states that information is putting pressure on our country he is talking about the future of the country as he hopes to see it– a European-type socialist nation. He spoke out against the fact that he believes much of what is written on the internet does not rank very high on the “truth meter.” Is that the real truth or the truth as Barack Obama sees it?
When you hear the president of the United States whine about the fact that Americans have access to 24-7 news coverage, and bitch about the amount of information that Americans are able to receive about their president–while he was delivering a speech at a college graduation (that was odd enough by itself)– and then you see the angling by the FCC to gain control over the internet even after they were rebuked by the courts once before, you have to come to the conclusion that the Obama regime wants to be able to gain control over the information that is being fed to the American people. Barack Obama may be the most thin-skinned, arrogant, egotistical man to ever ascend to the presidency. To quote the movie 1984, “it is not enough to obey him… you must love him!”
When you couple all of this with the news that Janet Napolitano believes that monitoring the internet is a civil liberties trade off that the American people need to accept in order to protect them from themselves, you have to begin to wonder what the government is afraid of. If this was George Bush that was advocating these policies the left would be up in arms, but now that Barack Obama wants to intrude on civil liberties the left is an all too willing accomplice.
Is the FCC becoming….. the Ministry of Truth?

So I have an ISP in the entertainment business – the cable company – and I check out a movie channel, and here comes a popup from my ISP telling me how much better life will be if I use their services for television as well!
The cable company got caught degrading the signal when people were downloading movies – the theory being that they’d get a better quality picture if they got the movies over the cable company’s television service.
That’s what net neutrality is about. Kind of like the mail – you don’t need your mail carrier knocking on your door, handing you your mail and telling you the details of your bills and personal mail. But apparently you’ve got no problem with your ISP doing it.

I keep hoping and praying that Obama will change. That he will stop this push to change this country I love.
Instead I just see him taking more and more aware from us. Add this stunt to the DISCLOSE amendment and it is obvious that the rule of the land doesn’t even compute in his mind.
The Pope was right to rebuke Americans for electing him.

Obama is not going to change, it doesn’t matter how many Americans turn on him because he honestly believes that only he knows what is best for us.

It will be interesting to see how things will play out with US CYBERCOM and the FCC. While protecting people’s rights and making the Internet secure, I’m sure they’ll find somethings to shutdown along the way – like illegal movie and music sharing, porn sites, hate sites, sites containing inappropriate words, and other content that people find objectionable. Isn’t that a good thing? Wouldn’t it be good to clean-up the Internet of all the “bad” things that are out there and the illegal activities that are consuming the world’s bandwidth?

No, actually, I don’t think it is a good thing that the government could shut down sites because some people may find them objectionable, or because they are deemed “hate sites” or contain inappropriate words. Who decides what is objectionable? Who decides what is “hate?” Who decides what is inappropriate? As for cleaning up the illegal activities that are out there, I am all for it. But you are talking about criminalizing sites based on the fact that someone might not approve of them or because someone might be offended by them.
