Senator Democrats are attempting to pass legislation which will give President Obama the authority to shut down the Internet and seize private networks.

On CNET News, Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), stated “As soon as you’re saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it’s going to be a really big issue.”

The bill, misleadingly titled “The Cybersecurity Act of 2009″, allows Obama to declare an emergency based upon no hard criteria. Once he declares this emergency, he can effectively shut down free speech on the Internet.

Jay Rockefeller, the bill’s sponsor, said “I know the threats we face. Our enemies are real. They are sophisticated, they are determined and they will not rest.” Unfortunately, it looks like the threat which Jay is most worried about is free speech from Americans who do not approve of Obama’s plans to impose national socialism upon the citizens of the United States.

In addition, the bill will require government licenses of any individual who seeks employment as a “cybersecurity professional”, effectively giving the Democratic party authority to prevent their political opponents from being involved in protecting either government or private networks from attack.

Just thank God you voted for him.

That's one way to abbreviate the cybersecurity bill. LMAO

Of course this abbreviation would have to have the intent to mislead the public.


Read the bill and quit reading the conspiracy blogs.

S.773 - Cybersecurity Act of 2009
A bill to ensure the continued free flow of commerce within the United States and with its global trading partners through secure cyber communications, to provide for the continued development and exploitation of the Internet and intranet communications for such purposes, to provide for the development of a cadre of information technology specialists to improve and maintain effective cybersecurity defenses against disruption, and for other purposes


Well, we are all free to interpret it the way we see fit. Seems to me an intent to continue development and protect AGAINST disruption.

But thats just me and my reading comprehension acting crazy again.


Right as rain harmony!:thumbsup:

Can someone post to me some of the quotes where OBama used the word Promise and gave a time line as well?


He only promised to review and revoke certain provisions of the act. If necessary.

Congress had already done so.
