INTERNET FREEDOM AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH ARE ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR

The single greatest problem for the Obama administration and their globalist friends is the free dissemination of information over the internet. Just as pamphlets were used in the days leading up to the American Revolution by people like Thomas Paine to inform and encourage the people to stand against England, the internet is the world's soapbox, the greatest printing press the world has ever known.

The enemies of freedom understand this and they will see it controlled. We are seeing the beginning of this with the Obama administration.

It's going to happen. Print information or store it on your hard drive because the things that we have available to us are going away.

We're about to be nudged into silence. Fairness will be the tool of choice. Listen to the interview with Cass Sunstein below. If we don't censor ourselves voluntarily, why then the government will have to do it for us, all in the name of protecting diversity of thought.




"Top Republican lawmakers last week sent President Barack Obama a letter protesting the Federal Communications Commission’s recent overture at adopting so-called net neutrality rules, asking that he block the agency’s controversial move to reclassify broadband.

House GOP leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor said the FCC’s proposal to reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service “could hardly come at a worse time for our nation’s economy, which is already struggling against a steady flow of increased government spending and taxation from Washington.”

The plan, announced to much fan fare among liberal special interests groups, calls for broadband to be regulated under a framework developed in the 1930s for traditional telephone services. It was widely seen among Capitol Hill observers as an end-run around a recent appeals court ruling in which the FCC was found to be lacking regulatory authority in the realm of broadband services."

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission will try to regulate broadband Internet service despite a recent court ruling that the commission had limited powers to do so.

Two F.C.C. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Julius Genachowski, the F.C.C. chairman, will announce Thursday that the commission considers broadband service a sort of hybrid between an information service and a utility and that it has sufficient power to regulate Internet traffic under existing law.

...The F.C.C. has limited authority over information services but it has vast powers to regulate certain utilities. It contends that a mix of those powers can be applied to broadband service.

“The chairman will seek to restore the status quo as it existed prior to the court decision,” a senior F.C.C. official said, “to fulfill the previously stated agenda of extending broadband to all Americans, protecting consumers, ensuring fair competition, and preserving a free and open Internet (emphasis added).”
