The Golden Truth: Obama Government Seeks Control Of Internet During Security Emergencies

Obama Government Seeks Control Of Internet During Security Emergencies

In a move which further erodes the First Amendment of the Consitution and completely undermines the civil liberties implied in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Senate is working on a Bill which would give President Obama the ability to essentially shut down the internet in the event of a national emergency:

Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 show the Senate bill could give the president a "kill switch" on the Internet and allow him to shut out private networks from online access.

First Amendment Killer?

My view on this is that the Government is getting more concerned about the growing unrest with the Government's failure to reign in the growing corruption in our banking and political systems and is looking for ways to limit the dissemination of information to the public by cutting off internet access. Given the low probability of terrorism from sources external to the country, I would suspect that this means that the Government is increasingly concerned about how the public would respond to another massive banking crisis. Please note that the Patriot Act enables to the President to regard banking and financial market disruptions as "security threats."

The recent Town Hall Protests gained considerable support and momentum from the internet, especially via YouTube. I somehow doubt it is a coincidence that this new legislation has arisen like the creature from the black lagoon at the same time a government initiative has suffered a serious setback at the hands of the internet. The internet has become a practitioner of asymmetric warfare's (broadly defined) wet dream.

Thrown into the bargain, has been pointed out elsewhere, the internet has evolved into an entity that can create and propagate its own memes rather than merely spreading memes created outside itself. This startling development, along with the internet's usefulness as an asymmetric warfare tool has created absolute panic in the PTB.

As such, it's a whole new ball game and some government stooges are eager to try and put the genie back into the bottle. Oppose any and all who support this legislation designed to stifle the greatest forum for free speech and information flow-good bad and indifferent-available.
It is, as the author of this blog asserts, a direct attack on The First Amendment of The Constitution.

Bingo Edwardo! The internet is the only wind generator left to help clear away the poisonous Orwellian fog that the Governmnet has unleashed over the country.

Anyone who voted for Obama and doesn't feel completely betrayed by him and his Administration has their head buried deeply in a pile of sand.

Cutting off internet access isn't going to accomplish anything. It'll just fuel unrest. Even China doesn't go that far even but then again they control the content.

Actually Harvey, I was chatting with someone on Thursday who's wife is from China. They were recently over there visiting her mom, who lives in a Shanghai suburb. He said he pleasantly suprised by how open and seemingly uncensored the internet access is over there. He said he didn't have problems accessing anything. Now, that's not to say they don't have the ability to restrict access if they want. But of course, we are supposed to have a Constitution which makes us uniquely free from Government control.

It looks like Obama is trying to CHANGE that. Is this the CHANGE that Obama voters voted for?

Why Gold?

Gold is the world's oldest currency. You exchange your fiat currency (dollars, euros, yen, yuan) into gold as an insurance policy against catastrophic Central Bank and Government policies which serve to destroy the value of fiat currencies and destroy democracy.

Gold can ONLY be considered an investment to the extent that it remains significantly and historically undervalued in relation to the fiat currencies against which its value is measured. Otherwise it remains the world's oldest currency and is completely free from the counterparty risk associated with currency by Government fiat (i.e. fiat currencies rely on a Government's "full faith and credit.")

Quote Of The Month Courtesy of "Jesse"

Unfortunately for Larry Summers, Ben Bernanke, and their friends at the BIS, they have not yet figured out how to print physical gold, silver, and other essential commodities, and the world is reaching the point where it might simply start ignoring the New York based markets with respect to essential commodities such as basic materials, oil, foodstuffs, and the like, as they become increasingly irrelevant, fraudulent, and Orwellian. And then where will the financial engineers be, except with no more excuses and no place to hide?

Here is the link to his entire commentary, well worth a read:

Great Quote From Jim Rogers On Govt CPI Reporting

JR: I mean, we have inflation now. If you go to the shop, whether it’s groceries, or education or insurance or health care, prices are going up for everything. The government lies about it in the US. Some countries lie, many countries don’t: Australia, China, India and Norway. Many countries don’t lie about it and acknowledge that we have inflation. Others lie about it, the UK and the US, but if you go shopping you know prices are up.

Q: Are you saying that the American Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is a lie?

JR: In my opinion, yes, of course it is. Have you looked at it? They’ve changed their accounting several times in the past few decades. When housing was 20% to 25% of the CPI and housing was going up, they didn’t count it, saying rents weren’t going up, and then when home prices started going down, they counted it. It’s the same with many things. It’s staggering some of the tortuous reasoning that the BLS has used over the past 25 or 30 years. When the price of gasoline goes up, they say it’s not really going up because it’s better gasoline, better quality, therefore you’re getting more for your money. I mean, it’s endless, the stuff that they say and for some reason people sit there, although more and more people are catching on, and accept what the government says.

Quote of the Week

"The primary function of a Central Bank is to engage in the massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy elite. The Federal Reserve was set up to do this with the blessing and support of Congress." - Dave in Denver

If you refuse to believe the above, please read "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin and then explain to me why the Senate voted down the Vitter Amendment and Congress refuses to pass a law requiring a full audit of the Fed, even though the Fed is using taxpayer-backed money to bailout Wall Street and Europe.
