Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1243404Well when Obama starts sending all the US dissidents of to the FEMA gulags, they can switch off everyone's internet access and stop word from getting out. They're not doing this because of a few blogs, but because they want total control of information access and disemination. Once they have that then they can implement Rex 84 when a suitable pretext presents itself. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1243404Of course, the key phrase is "without court oversight", meaning there won't be any due process involved. Can't believe Americans are so calm about this. If you do anything about this now, you won't be able to when TSHTF. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1243367 United Kingdom01/25/2011 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The idea is pretty fail. Quoting: In2thedethThey can't shut down "The Internet" without having ALL ISPs working together under some sort of act. That's what they'll do. Or else switch off the physical infrastructure. The UK authorities have had a trial run in Scotland & Northern Ireland recently. |

Quoting: Closing Down 1243367The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act was introduced last year by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in an effort to combat cyber-crime and the threat of online warfare and terrorism. Critics said the bill would allow the president to disconnect Internet networks and force private websites to comply with broad cybersecurity measures. Future US presidents would have those powers renewed indefinitely. [link to www.informationclearinghouse.info] Thats just stupid...... Originally that what the net was for..... IN CASE OF EMERGENCYS!

Just like Hitler taking the whole of Germany down with him, as he spent the last days wandering around in the bunker. |
