This is hardly a surprise but, this morning (as previously announced), the lame duck Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to move forward with censoring the internet via the COICA bill -- despite a bunch of law professors explaining to them how this law is a clear violation of the First Amendment. What's really amazing is that many of the same Senators have been speaking out against internet censorship in other countries, yet they happily vote to approve it here because it's seen as a way to make many of their largest campaign contributors happy. There's very little chance that the bill will actually get passed by the end of the term but, in the meantime, we figured it might be useful to highlight the 19 Senators who voted to censor the internet this morning:

 
Jon Kyl -- Arizona
Patrick J. Leahy -- Vermont
Amy Klobuchar -- Minnesota

Herb Kohl -- Wisconsin

Jeff Sessions -- Alabama
Dianne Feinstein -- California
Orrin G. Hatch -- Utah
Russ Feingold -- Wisconsin
Chuck Grassley -- Iowa
Arlen Specter -- Pennsylvania
Chuck Schumer -- New York
Lindsey Graham -- South Carolina
Dick Durbin -- Illinois
John Cornyn -- Texas
Benjamin L. Cardin -- Maryland
Tom Coburn -- Oklahoma
Sheldon Whitehouse -- Rhode Island
Al Franken -- Minnesota
Chris Coons -- Delaware

This should be a list of shame. You would think that our own elected officials would understand the First Amendment but, apparently, they have no problem turning the US into one of the small list of authoritarian countries that censors internet content it does not like (in this case, content some of its largest campaign contributors do not like). We already have laws in place to deal with infringing content, so don't buy the excuse that this law is about stopping infringement. This law takes down entire websites based on the government's say-so. First Amendment protections make clear that if you are going to stop any specific speech, it has to be extremely specific speech. This law has no such restrictions. It's really quite unfortunate that these 19 US Senators are the first American politicians to publicly vote in favor of censoring speech in America.

The many faces of freedom of speech on Facebook

http://sioe.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/the-many-faces-of-freedom-of-speech-on-facebook/   

Recently freedom of speech has been a victim of an extraordinarily well-organized attack by the left wing and islam. The latest example is the increasing islamisation of Facebook and the removal of the profile of ANYONE who expresses a dissenting opinion.  This social media that attracts millions of people every day has lately developed itself into a platform for the spreading of left-wing propaganda and especially Islamic propaganda.

The recent deactivation of personal profiles which have not at all violated ANY of Facebook´s rules are clear cut examples of the total submission and Dhimmitude to islam, now undertaken by Facebook. While anti-semitic profiles are flourishing on Facebook, one islam-critical profile after the next is being closed down without a logical or truthfull reason for it. Facebook literally bulges with hate-groups that call for killings on Jews, Danes (and other citizens of western countries), groups that indeed call for discrimination (believers vs. non-believers). That, by the way, is actually racism, according to the new definition of the term "racism". Groups that hate Denmark and who urge to the destruction of democracy, and are literally boiling with threats to Danes, Americans and discriminate against women. All this is actually violating Facebook´s rules.  By the way, Islam/Muslim is NOT A RACE!

But, in the name of political correctness, Facebook is not reacting to it! – or is it, perhaps in the name of freedom of speech? While all these hate groups are successfully flourishing on Facebook, and while all the hate group personal profiles threaten others and violate all sorts of Facebook rules on a daily basis, one after another the islamic critical groups are being shut down by Facebook, and the islamic critical personal profiles are being deactivated by Facebook – without any true violation.

Now, one might ask if criticizing islam is not violating Facebook rules.  It depends on how islam is defined. It certainly depends on how this criticism is being conducted. Indeed it depends on whether or not we are speaking about hate-groups and racism or about factual well-documented, direct quotes from the Quran itself, from the Hadiths, and direct quotes from the Islamic leaders and Holy men.  I shall account for how Facebook is becoming Islamized in a fully legal and democratic way. 

With the definition of islam as a starting-point there is clearly a difference between how Facebook defines islam and how islam critics define it. If we assume that Facebook defines islam as a religion, we must establish that Facebook is complying with it´s own rules since criticizing religion is not allowed according to the UN, and accordingly on Facebook.  There is every reason to be on guard towards critics on this religion. It seems only natural to ask if this applies to all religions. The answer must be a clear no. This only applies to islam. It is fully legal to call for the killing of Jews and other infidels, to discriminate against infidels and women, as well as to urge the destruction of democracy with all means at your disposal – all with the single aim to establish the khalifate and sharia law.  At least if you consider Facebook´s handling of the situational trendsetting practice. So, islam critics are per Facebook definition racists and will accordingly be deactivated without further discussion. Recently, a well-known islam critical personal profiles were deactivated without notice, despite the fact that no Facebook rules were violated.

 

The profiles were Anders Gravers and Aly Renrut. It was simply reported by moslems and left-wing activists for being offending or not a real profile.  Ok, so someone is offended by criticism of islam. According to the Danish Constitution, §77 (freedom of speech), and the US Constitution and Bill of Rights such criticism is not illegal. These profiles have not violated any of the above referenced documents. On the contrary, freedom of speech has been used responsibly and with consideration. These profiles have, at any given time, openly declared themselves an opponent to any totalitarian regime and an eager opponent to racism. They have allowed themselves to consider islam a totalitarian regime, in which equality and freedom is non-existent. No law prohibits this consideration, and it is therefore outermost thought-provoking and alarming that Facebook obviously sees itself above the Danish and US Constitution and Bill of Rights!

With this as a starting-point, that the islamic criticism has been conducted by Anders Gravers and Aly Renrut, there has always been a sober tone, an anti-racist attitude and a factual approach to the discussion.  Contrary to what the left wing and certain moslems on Facebook wish to display, there is in fact, no valid reason for the deactivation of these specific profiles, since all Facebook´s rules have been complied with completely. The reason for the many reports must be found in the fact that these very profiles actually displayed the truth about islam in an – to islamisists – threatening way.  So Facebook choose to submit to the many moslem reports and submits completely to the Islamic demands.

Now with the starting-point and the rules about hate-groups and racism established, we must simply prove none of these have applied to the deactivated profiles. Many attempts have been made to make Anders Gravers and Aly Renrut to make statements beyond reasonable limits or even statements which are illegal. However, no one has succeeded in making either one of them state anything racist or hateful.  On the contrary, they have always emphasized that racism will not be tolerated, derogatory words or nicknames are unacceptable and that they are not criticizing muslims, as such, but rather the totalitarian ideology islam. Nevertheless the left wing activists and islam have succeded in creating the impression that Anders Gravers and Aly Renrut have violated Facebooks rules, with the result of their profiles being deactivated by Facebook. 

What is, really, going on here? Why is it such a problem some people have been kicked off of Facebook? Does that really matter in the overall perspective? It certainly isn´t a real social problem, is it? Yes! That is exactly what it is. It ought to be clear to anyone, this is not really about a profile on Facebook. This is about the basic values, the basic laws of this country. We have a set of values in this country, founded on charity and equality, respect and tolerance. We have a set of laws, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which ensures us these basic God given rights – and duties.

We live in a portion of the world where basic human rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to assemble in demonstrations and equality, are gifts granted by God.  However, we must not forget that millions of people have sacrificed their life so that we can enjoy these rights as we do today.  The Normandy coast on June 6, 1944, is just one such example. We are among the just 10% of the total population on Earth to enjoy these rights and privileges. These values and laws have, in the most abusive way, been undermined, by none other than Facebook.

This sanctimonious social medium, is atttempting to make us believe it is an open and tolerant to everyone, and is demanding a decent tone and manners, so politically correct it makes you want to vomit! This very site is totally inconsistent when it comes to enforcing it´s own rules! It is not about the people who were kicked off of Facebook. It is about the principle that these people have allowed themself to –with the Constitution in hand– criticize islam as being one of our era´s greatest threats to democracy. At the same time, Facebook is yellow from infected personal profiles and hate-groups against the West, against women, against Denmark, against sexual equality, against any equality as such, against Jews, against homosexuals, against infidels and non-believers, against Danes, against Americans, against "whatever" is western and above all against democracy. All of this is going on while the site is being used by millions of people all over the world without the slightest criticism!  It roars right in, on the corneas of the users like an express train, with no filter whatsoever, and indeed it is happening in the name of free speech.

Point in example, the deactivation of Anders Gravers´ and Aly Renruts' profiles...

This is a very dangerous development that we are witnessing. In the name of free speech, in the name of democracy, the advocates of free speech and democracy are being abusively harassed, threatened and now also brought to silence on Facebook, as it is increasingly becoming an islamic propaganda platform. All of this is happening right in front of our eyes without anyone interfering! In the name of democracy, democracy is being fought from the inside.

The last time we saw such in the world, was in Germany in 1933. The method is not different, nor is the goal. If we are to endure as a democracy we have to begin to understand just which threats to democracy are really being exposed to in our time.

A good place to start is Facebook.

We urge our readers to find  and expose the muslim hate-groups and left wing groups clearly violating Facebook´s criteria and to voice their objections to such, on Facebook.

Building Mosques on Sacred Sites of Defeated Enemies a Symbol of Conquest

http://www.hudson-ny.org/1496/mosques-on-sacred-sites-of-defeated-enemies              

by Gabriel Scheinmann

August 23, 2010 at 5:00 am

The real issue behind the controversy that has erupted over plans to build a 15-story cultural center, mosque and madrassa a few yards from Ground Zero is not only about the mysterious funding behind the Cordoba Center initiative, or whether or not its founders and backers have malign intentions. It is primarily about understanding how Muslims across the world, in particular Islamists, would view the conversion of the site of the greatest Muslim attack on U.S. soil into a Muslim house of worship. Given the long history of mosque-building following Muslim military victories, the building of the Cordoba House on Ground Zero will be seen in the same light as the Muslim conquests of Mecca, Jerusalem, and Constantinople. Whereas Americans hope that the attacks on New York City and Washington are seen as the clarion's call for aggressive American action to counter Islamist ideology, the construction of the Ground Zero Mosque will be seen by the same Islamists as its first step towards the decline of America.

Bin Laden and his Islamists would love nothing better to plant the flag of Islam in the cultural capital of the West. This would not be read in the Muslim world as a sign of the West's tolerance, but of its weakness. In its long history of conquest, Islam has habitually converted the scared shrines of its enemies into mosques and madrasas. A cursory look at the world's most famous mosques lays bare the fact that many were former houses of worships of defeated enemies.

Islam's most sacred site, al-Kaaba, in Mecca was a pagan shrine that predated Islam by hundreds of years. Mohammed himself, after his army's conquest of Mecca in 630, destroyed hundreds of idols, proclaiming the truth of his new religion, and, since, it has become the hub of the annual Muslim pilgrimage, hajj, and a core pillar of Islam. Following the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem, the Ummayad Caliphate proceeded to build the Dome of the Rock, the Masjid Qubat al-Sakhra, on top of the Jewish Temple Mount in 689. Inscribed on the inner walls of the shrine are clear warnings to Christianity, professing Islamic supremacy. Sprawled on the inner octagonal arcade, flowing counterclockwise, the dedication warns Christians and Jews to "not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning God save the truth" and threatens the Christian Trinity by insisting that "The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and say not 'Three' - Cease! (it is) better for you! - God is only One God."[1] Whoever believes that God had a son, "whoso disbelieveth the revelations of God (will find that) lo! God is swift at reckoning!"[2] Having defeated their Christian enemies, the Umayyads built a grand mosque on top of Judaism's most sacred site that contained a clear declaration of Muslim supremacy over their brother Abrahamic religions.

Similar conversions were ordered as the Muslim conquests expanded across Africa and Europe. The Grand Mosque of Damascus, also known as the Umayyad Mosque, was converted from a church dedicated to John the Baptist in 705. The world-renown Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was a thousand year-old Christian church before being transformed into a mosque following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453. It was only converted into a museum in 1935 by ultra-secularist and Turkish founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Over the long history of Muslim territorial advance, thousands of mosques, from Spain to India, were built on sites of important religious or political value to their defeated foes.

Supporters of the project might argue that the actions of invading Muslim armies over a millennia ago are irrelevant to the issue at hand in lower Manhattan. However, it is impossible to separate the recent decline of such a trend with the parallel decline and territorial recession of Muslim lands in the second half of the second millennium. Moreover, recent territories that have returned to Muslim rule following decolonization have seen the return of the conversions of religious sites into mosques. Muammar Qaddafi, the ruler of Libya, converted 78 synagogues into mosques in the 1970s.[3] In 1975, the Great Synagogue of Oran was confiscated by the Algerian government and similarly transformed.

Proponents like to cite the namesake of the Cordoba House complex as evidence of its goal of tolerance and pluralism, referring to the relative tolerant attitude of Muslim Spain to its Jewish and Christian minorities. Those proponents, however, should recall that the Great Mosque, or Mezquita, of Cordoba was itself a Visigoth Church that was converted and rebuilt as a mosque following Muslim conquest in 784, lasting nearly 500 years before it was recaptured and converted back into a Catholic cathedral.

Both survivors and the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks, as well as most prideful New Yorkers, have strongly objected to what they see at best as an insensitive project to, at worst, a malicious broadside against those who suffered tremendously on that day and since.

It has even divided the organized Jewish community, pitting a vehemently supportive J Street against a nuancedly opposed Anti-Defamation League. The mosque, run by the Cordoba House, claims to be promoting the project not only for functional reasons, but also for civilizational ones. Its supporters say that its aim is to use the 9/11 tragedy and the location of the Ground Zero Mosque as a message of tolerance and compromise in America. By hoping that Americans would never buy into the "Us against Them" rhetoric espoused by Islamists, supporters are seeking to demonstrate the superiority of Western culture and liberalism. The fact that this is even a debate in America demonstrates American tolerance; it is illegal to build a church or synagogue anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

American government officials have been divided over the plan, with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Governor Deval Patrick, and, most recently, President Obama himself in support and many local and national politicians, including Senators John McCain, Joseph Lieberman, and Olympia Snowe, Congressman Peter King, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and former Governors Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, in opposition.

But the symbolism could not be clearer: If the Cordoba's House supporters seek to emulate the tolerance of al-Andalus, the Arabic term for Muslim Spain, they are unwittingly declaring their possible acceptance of Muslim rule.

Dear Failure In Chief...

Dear Failure in Chief…

I was appalled but not shocked as to your statement that supported the building of the 13 story Mosque just 600 feet, where the Twin Towers fell. You have proven your ignorance and allegiance to Islam. You said it had to do with Freedom of Religion. No moron, Islam is a Political System that wants to impose Sharia Law on our Nation. But of course, you already know that because you are a Muslim. We The People of the United States of America will fight you on this. If at all possible, we will remove you from office before 2012. You have become a danger to this Country and to its people. By allowing this Mosque, it will accomplish two things…

 

One, it will defame and dishonor all the victims of 9/11 and their families. Secondly, it will open up this Country to terrorists that will slowly and in an evil strategic manner, take over this Nation and abolish our existing laws. You have done nothing but cause dissention and division in this Country. You have failed in all of your Campaign promises. You have refused to denounce terrorist acts and in fact, have made excuses for them. You refuse to speak out against Islam and Sharia Law. Your wife has done nothing to help those women around the world and even in this country that have been abused, scarred, and murdered, by Honor Killings. You both have been silent, when it comes to the atrocities of Islam. As far as We the People are concerned, you are not only a Muslim, but you are perpetrating the biggest hostile takeover that this Country has ever seen. You are well aware that your political career is over and that you will never be reelected, so you don’t care what damage you do to this Country. You are more than a Lame Duck….You are a Rabid Duck. The Mosque is your way of “marking” your territory as a Muslim man. We The People are on the War path. We are awake and aware. And we are ready and empowered for the fight ahead. You will NOT succeed. We Will Win. Mark this down….November is just the beginning….Your days are numbered….We The People Will Have Our Say and Our Day….It’s coming!

WARNING FROM A FORMER MUSLIM

I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion.

The following are the Islamic messages to the West.

To the infidels of the West:

The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.

We will fight the infidel to death.

- Meanwhile American laws will protect us.

- Democrats and Leftist will support us.

- N.G.O.s will legitimize us.

- C.A.I.R. will incubate us.

- The A.C.L.U. will empower us.

- Western Universities will educate us.

- Mosques will shelter us

- O.P.E.C. will finance us

- Hollywood will love us.

- Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.

Warning From a Muslim—–

We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost.

Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country's interest than US interest.

We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel.

Once we do that from the very early age our children won't hesitate to be martyr.

We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next.

We already have a solid ground in the UK , Holland , Sweden , Spain , Italy , Germany , and now in the US .

Shabdika says:

May 25, 2010 at 1:30 pm

Visualize the news flash all over the world, ...Muslim mother is sobbing, ....crying. ....

Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live.

Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe .

We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as Armour/shield.

Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.

West manufactures their tanks in the factory.

We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies.

That is the way it is cheaper.

Shabdika says:

May 25, 2010 at 4:09 pm

CONTINUED—–

You infidels cannot defeat us.

We are 1.2 billions. Soon we will double ourselves. have you enough bullets to kill us?

On the camera:

- We will always say, "Islam is the religion of Peace."

- We will say, "Jihad is actually inner Jihad."

- "Moderate" Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the West will believe it because the West is so gullible.

- "Moderate" Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadist by their talk by defending Islam.

Shabdika says:

May 25, 2010 at 4:11 pm

-Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.

-We will increase in number. We will double again.

-You will be impressed when you meet a "moderate" Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbour, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say, "wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people",

But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.

There will be more 911 in Europe and in America . We will say,

"We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved."

Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite.

We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France.

Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.

We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it.

We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender – ISLAM means surrender.

We will use your own values of kindness against you.

 

Shabdika says:

May 25, 2010 at 4:33 pm

You are destined to loose.

Must be very depressing for you. Isn't it?

Allah-Hu-Akbaras we say just before beheading kafirs.

There is modern warfare. The West will loose.

Islam will rule the world. There is nothing you can do.

Even if the per capita GDP of the world drops to half of its present level as a consequence of Islamic laws in place all over the world but still Islam will rule the word.

WARNING OF A—-

What are you going to do? You are doomed.

We're a Religion of Peace and We'll Kill You to Prove It !

IT IS TRUE , IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD BY ISLAMIC MUSLIMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDITORS NOTE:

A believing Muslim, whether Westerners consider him an extremist or a moderate, will believe Islam and he Koran have the solution to society’s ills. Social problems are caused by a lack of Islam. In his worldview, Muslim countries can only repair their problems through Islam. So far, in MY studies of the Quran, I have found 527 quotes encouraging dissention, hatred, deception, violence and just general DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IN BELIEVING MUSLIMS!

Give me an “f”’ing BREAK PEOPLE! JUST HOW DEEP IN DENIAL ARE YOU???

WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU NEED TO HAVE IT PROVEN TO YOU???

YOU HAVE THEIR 'INFAILABLE' BOOK, THEIR DIRECT QUOTES, THEIR SPOKESPEOPLES WORDS, THEIR DAMN ACTIONS AND YOU STILL BELIEVE THEY ARE LOVING, PEACEFUL PEOPLE!!!

Because it is on Youtube does not make it true...

HOWEVER...YOU TUBE IS JUST A CONVENIENT MEDIUM TO GET VIDEOS OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO VIEW!

BUT, CAN YOU AFFORD TO ARGUE WITH ALL OF THE EVIDENCE, AND DISREGARD IT???

 

I CANNOT, for my GRANDCHILDRENS SAKE!!! 

I encourage anyone who believes that there are "radical Muslims" and "peaceful Muslims" to view this video. If any Muslim tells you that they are peaceful they are either lying to you (Taqiyya, anyone?) or truly ignorant of what Islamic law requires.

A little more insight on the lying issue:

PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN, WATCH THIS VIDEO!

You CANNOT co-exist with people who hate you and want to KILL you!

PERIOD!

Muslims demand Facebook adhere to Islamic/sharia law

A comment is being circulated on Facebook complaining that the site has not only allowed Islam-critical pages like "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" to thrive but has also removed four major Muslim Facebook pages with a total of about 2.5 million members. This "chain email" is thus claiming that Facebook has taken a dramatic anti-Islam stance, and the comment is further demanding that the site restore the Islamic pages, make it illegal to criticize Islam, and remove all FB pages that are critical of Islam. In other words, it is demanding that Facebook follow Islamic or sharia law.

While the comment claims that these Islamic pages were not anti-infidel in sentiment, its demands certainly are, and they belie any possibly "peaceful" notion of why these pages should be allowed back on Facebook.

Supporters of free speech are calling for this Islamist comment be searched out on FB and flagged in a show of support for Facebook's creators not to kowtow to censorship and to demonstrate that the non-Muslim world will not be subjugated under Islamic or sharia law. 

Here is the comment:

Facebook Admins, Moderators, Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Sheryl Sandberg, and Matt Cohler;

Although you have attended the world's best communication skills courses you have been most successful in growing great hatred and hostility between you and Muslims around the world, but seriously this time you have caused an almost unrepairable damage.

Only a few weeks after your irresponsible behavior during the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day events you most aggressively removed four of the largest Islamic Facebook Pages of total fans/likes over 2.5 million Facebook members. That happened on the morning of Thursday 8th July, 2010.

These four Facebook pages were totally peaceful and free of any hate speech, but you removed it ignoring the feelings of more than 2.5 Million Facebook Muslims and disrespecting over 1.5 Billion Muslims worldwide.

And now since that is what it had come down to you, with your irresponsibility and fake preach of freedom of speech, have left us no other choice other than permanently boycotting Facebook. And now we are giving you a 2 weeks notice - ending at midnight of 21st July, 2010 - to fulfill our demands or else we will leave Facebook....

Our demands are:

1- Reactivating the four pages that have been disabled
2- Adding a Facebook Term that illegalizes disrespecting Islamic religious symbols
3- Disabling any Facebook Page, Group, or Event that shows direct or indirect disrespect towards Islamic religious symbols

The pages that were unfairly removed are:

Facebook.com/Rassoul.Allaah - About 1,600,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Logo.Ramadan - About 600,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Love.Mohammed - About 200,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Quran.Lovers - About 70,000 Likes

SCREW THEM!!! 

I WILL NOT be silenced or be made to sit down!

Senators propose granting President Internet power!! A KILL SWITCH FOR THE INTERNET !!!

See the original story at:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20007418-38.html

WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, KOMRADS!

June 10, 2010 8:25 PM PDT

Read between the lines and see the potential for ABUSE!!

A new U.S. Senate bill would grant the president far-reaching emergency powers to seize control of or even shut down portions of the Internet.

The legislation announced Thursday says that companies such as broadband providers, search engines, or software firms that the government selects "shall immediately comply with any emergency measure or action developed" by the Department of Homeland Security. Anyone failing to comply would be fined.

That emergency authority would allow the federal government to "preserve those networks and assets and our country and protect our people," Joe Lieberman, the primary sponsor of the measure and the chairman of the Homeland Security committee, told reporters on Thursday. Lieberman is an independent senator from Connecticut who caucuses with the Democrats.

 

Do you REALLY want THIS MAN

TO HAVE ULTIMATE CONTROL

OVER THE INTERNET???

Because there are few limits on the president's emergency power, which can be renewed indefinitely, the densely worded 197-page bill (PDF) is likely to encounter stiff opposition.

We can only HOPE!

TechAmerica, probably the largest U.S. technology lobby group, said it was concerned about "unintended consequences that would result from the legislation's regulatory approach" and "the potential for absolute power." And the Center for Democracy and Technology publicly worried that the Lieberman bill's emergency powers "include authority to shut down or limit Internet traffic on private systems."

The idea of an Internet "kill switch" that the president could flip is not new. A draft Senate proposal that CNET obtained in August allowed the White House to "declare a cybersecurity emergency," and another from Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would have explicitly given the government the power to "order the disconnection" of certain networks or Web sites.

(They try to discredit any one or thing that doesn't agree with their position on things NOW, do you REALLY want them to have THIS KIND OF POWER??)

On Thursday, both senators lauded Lieberman's bill, which is formally titled the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, or PCNAA. Rockefeller said "I commend" the drafters of the PCNAA. Collins went further, signing up at a co-sponsor and saying at a press conference that "we cannot afford to wait for a cyber 9/11 before our government realizes the importance of protecting our cyber resources."

SOUNDS like a CONVENIENT EXCUSE TO ME to limit your

1st AMENDMENT RIGHTS ON THE INTERNET!

Under PCNAA, the federal government's power to force private companies to comply with emergency decrees would become unusually broad. Any company on a list created by Homeland Security that also "relies on" the Internet, the telephone system, or any other component of the U.S. "information infrastructure" would be subject to command by a new National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications (NCCC) that would be created inside Homeland Security.

The only obvious limitation on the NCCC's emergency power is one paragraph in the Lieberman bill that appears to have grown out of the Bush-era flap over warrantless wiretapping. That limitation says that the NCCC cannot order broadband providers or other companies to "conduct surveillance" of Americans unless it's otherwise legally authorized.

Lieberman said Thursday that enactment of his bill needed to be a top congressional priority. "For all of its 'user-friendly' allure, the Internet can also be a dangerous place with electronic pipelines that run directly into everything from our personal bank accounts to key infrastructure to government and industrial secrets," he said. "Our economic security, national security and public safety are now all at risk from new kinds of enemies--cyber-warriors, cyber-spies, cyber-terrorists and cyber-criminals."
