Controlling the Internet - another Obama Administration Power Grab

Instead of singing "Here Comes Santa Claus" at this Christmastide, 2010, I am singing "Here Comes Uncle Sam". He used to be jolly, like St. Nick. But I no longer trust him....I've seen too much.
I wrote about the dangers of government intrusion into another arena of our life - the Internet!

Crack the door open now…..kick it open later…..just like Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Cleveland Plain Dealer write Kevin O'Brien wrote a column regarding the same topic. In his December 23, 2010 column he didn’t mention government thought control. The blogosphere is where folks get alternate opinion.

Pop thought has been force-fed to the masses, formed by major publications and broadcast media. Eliminate sources of free thought and you eliminate expression of free thought.

The majority of people in our nation don’t know about Radio Free Europe and the “jamming” of the radiowaves by Communists, er I mean Progressives. People who thought freely were arrested.

Is our nation going to have to go through the same hoops? I have great hope that the recent revolution in America will extend through the upcoming Congress. Oh, the media is already spinning the President as the "comback kid." That's to be expected....anywhere they can 'mine' a nugget to keep him in power through the next election cycle. Now we understand an alternate intrepretation of "Ching Ching Chinaman sitting on a fence, trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents."

Have You Heard?

No, not song popularized by the Tokens, the 1960s Doo Wop group. I'm speaking of the four Muslim soldiers who have been discharged from the U.S. Army. Why? For threatening to poison the food in a Fort Bragg Mess Hall. Have you heard about it?

I don't believe any of the state-controlled media, the alphabet networks, have yet to report it. The Army got smart and discharged them. Perhaps they prevented another Fort Hood style massacre.

I've read about the attempts to bring free Internet to communities. Doesn't that sound wonderful?Why, no one in the United States will have to pay for it. Well, at least the some folks won't have to pay. When that happens you won't see any news about incidents at Fort Bragg. It's called getting the door opened a crack and then kicking it wide open. And you know what happens when things are "free" and the government gets a hold of it.

Once the Internet is collectively-owned say good-bye to the blogosphere. If communities own it they have the right to control the content. And if they don't want you to know about it, you won't'. Just like our major TV networks in the U.S.
