I posted this as a response under another another topic on May 2, 2015, but it bears repeating. Meant to post it as a topic sooner, but had a family emergency. I have edited and compiled from various sources, including information from the Center for Individual Freedom:

"[The] V**e by the FCC to regulate the Internet ...is further proof that the Obama Administration will stop at nothing in their efforts to control the Internet." -- Rep. Marsha Blackburn.

"The implementation of Barack Obama's takeover of the Internet is less than 45 days away. And as Marsha Blackburn says, if Congress does not take action to stop Barack Oabma, the government will 'control the Internet' in a little over a month.

"Make no mistake, the Internet as you know it will never be the same if we let Barack Obama implement this takeover. You'll pay more for less service and the government will use this draconian ruling as a club to bludgeon Internet freedom, including ultimately your free speech.

"And if you think we exaggerate, consider what Blackburn says on the matter: 'Once the federal government establishes a foothold into managing how Internet service providers run their networks they will essentially be deciding which content goes first, second, third, or not at all.'"

The un-American power grab by Barack Obama's FCC has been sold to an unsuspecting public as something called Net Neutrality. So, is this really an Internet takeover?

Consider this one example of what is contained in the 400 pages of the Obama-FCC order:

Here's what the FCC says about First Amendment rights in Section 544: "The rules we adopt today do not curtail broadband providers' free speech rights. When engaged in broadband Internet access services, broadband providers are not speakers, but rather serve as conduits for the speech of others."

Interesting. If you're not a speaker, the First Amendment does not apply to you. And who determines whether or not you're a speaker? Barack Obama and his regulatory puppets.

"The thinking is straight out of George Orwell's Animal Farm. Barack Obama doesn't need to control your speech if he can control the 'conduits' of your speech.'"

Therefore, Net Neutrality is thus best called "Socialism for the Internet."

"That's exactly what Seton Motley, the president of Less Government, says about this thing called Net Neutrality. He adds: 'It's an assault on the industry to effect an ideological outcome' so 'the government will be able to pick winners and losers.'

"Washington Times columnist and syndicated radio talk show host Tammy Bruce goes a step further and claims: 'The Internet must be k**led because it dares to keep turning on the light in a room the left prefers remain dark.'

"Bruce goes on: "This would be done to make the Internet more fair, of course. But the turth of the matter is it's an excuse to essentially nationalize the Internet. The moment that's accpeted, all bets are off ...'

"Senator John Thune says: 'It is a power grab for the federal government by the chairman of a supposedly independent agency who finally succumbed to the bully tactics of political activists and the president himself.'

And, there's more ...

"Almost two weeks after v****g on the then-secret so-called Net Neutraility order to facilitate Barack Obama's takeover of the Internet, the FCC finally released the 400-page order to the public ...and once the guidelines were released we realized that Obama's plan to takeover the Internet was far worse than we could have ever imagined ..."

According to the Daily Caller, the FCC Net Neutrality order made "46 references to a group funded by billionaire George Soros and co-founded by a neo-Marxist."

In other words, Barack Obama's takeover of the Internet was actually written -- in large part -- by radical Marxists. it is also known that radical socialist-leaning organizations funded by billionaire socialist George Soros and others have spent approximately 200 million dollars to make Barack Obama's dictatorial takeover of the Internet a reality.

This doesn't surprise me because Soros has bought heavily into the Liberal media and also into the "b****t box business" in this country. You know, the v**e-counting business? It's no secret that Soros, himself, admittedly h**es America's Consitutional, democratic and capitalistic system and will do everything he can to destroy it.

The organization whose arguments are cited at least 46 times in the Obama-FCC dictatorial order is ironically named Free Press. Free Press was founded by Robert McChesney, an avowed socialist who is presently a communications professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Free Press is funded by George Soros' Open Society Foundation and other left-wing groups like the Ford Foundation.

"And to McChesney, so-called Net Neutrality is simply a means to an end. Specifically, it's the first step to be taken to fundamentally t***sform the United States into a socialist tyranny."

According to DiscovertheNetworks.org, McChesney "told the website SocialistProject that 'unless you make significant changes in the media, it will be vastly more difficult to have a revolution.'"

Back in 2009, McChesney wrote that "any serious effort to reform the media system would have to necessariliy be part of a revolutionary program to o*******w the capitalist system itself ...to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principals ...We need to do wh**ever we can to limit capitalist propaganda, regulate it, minimize it, and perhaps eliminate it."

Back in 2009, as well, and when the concept of Net Neutraility was focused on more traditional means of communication, Mcchesney said: "At the moment the battle over net neutrality is not to completely eliminate telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control."

Phil Kerpen, president of the free-market group American Commitment, says that McChesney's goal is "to empower the federal government to ration and apportion Internet bandwith as it sees fit, and to thereby control the Internet's content."

The objective of the Obama/FCC takeover as I see it, is to eventually silence the voice of the Right in any and all ways possible. If the voices of conservatives are silenced on the Internet and through this same way, throughout conservative media -- Internet, talk-shows, television, etc. -- then our Constitutional right to free speech has been totally trampled and made virtually null and void. So has our right to the freedom of voicing our political and religious viewpoints and agendas for capitalism, democracy, Christianity, and the Constitution as it was originally written to include liberty, justice, and freedom for all.

In essence, the content of all the American people will be "allowed" to hear, see, experience, and "speak" on the Internet in the possible near future will be from the Left and from anyone who is in agreement with the Left's agenda.

I worked very hard for months in the past to petition the FCC and to get information out to hundreds of people about what was about to happen. This FCC/Obama takeover of the Internet will effect anyone using the Internet in terms of additional costs and less efficient services for a number of reasons. It will impose additional taxes on Internet service providers. It will squash a lot of Internet innovation and a lot of small Internet businesses.

Wheeler, of course, caved to Obama and then went into hiding after the FCC v**e, but now the final outcome has been turned over to the Congress.

As Rep. Marsha Blackburn says, if Congress does not take action to stop Barack Obama, the government will control the Internet in a little over a month.

You might want to gather an up-to-the-minute report on where this stands in Congress, but Action alert! Got your cattle prods, patriots?

Yes. The internet is the single most powerful tool of terrorists, such as ISIS, who's freedom of speech must be protected. Now, these groups do not qualify for our Constitutional rights, but once their ideology and marketing reaches US airwaves, THAT content DOES qualify for protections under that document. By drawing no lines and assuming that the entire world is subject to our Constitutional protections, we become the prey - and there are plenty of predators out there, who love American flesh and minds.

We can either jealously guard our Constitutional rights as citizens of the United States - or we can open them up to everybody. These rights cost us too much, to just throw them away willy nilly.

Danielle Loc: Las Cruces, NM

Agreed. There are plenty of predators out there who love American flesh and minds. "Death to America!" "Death to Israel" -- these are stated missions of the Islamic terrorists. And, while I get your point to a degree, lpnmajor, to another degree, I'm a bit confused. Guess I'm just asking for clarification.

Right now in this country, thanks to the present Islamic and terrorist supporting entity in the White House and the depth of Muslim Brotherhood/Muslim connections in White House and administration; unsecure and virtually "wide-open" borders; ISIS and other terrorist groups already building a spiderwebbing network in all American states and cities (the FBI is fully aware of it); and thousands of imported Muslims in Muslim relocation camps in almost every state now (and no way to check their backgrounds to see if any among them are terrorists or if they are harboring terrorists), it's true; the Internet is open-game for all of these snakes and scorpions.

And, too, this country is over-run with all of the scum still coming in across the border (i******s) of which a huge percentage of Obama's i******s being given illegal amnesty are drug cartel (many of which are ISIS, Hezbollah, and terrorist connected), known criminals and sex offenders, and more snakes and scorpions. The majority are far from helpless little children.

Net neutrality, as I described it from the sources I quoted, is not a system set up to protect us from terrorists using the Internet. It's a system set up to eventually censor the voices of conservative political and religious free speech so that only the voices of the c*******ts/socialists/progressive and Liberal L*****ts can be heard or seen.

As far as ISIS and other terrorist groups in the country, they're already here and their network is growing rapidly. We've also got some groups of imported radical Muslims already practicing Sharia Law in some states of this country against our laws and our Constitution. Muslims and Muslim Brotherhood are already thick in the White House and administration, and we've got Islam rapidly infiltrating our school systems, universities, and our courtrooms. I really don't believe that our government is going to protect us against these things, even on the Internet, since a huge percentage of our government is kowtowing to and supporting Islam. You can't, in other words, expect the enemy to protect you against the enemy!

No, net neutrality has a totally different ulterior motive, and that motive is to silence the patriots, the Christians, the conservatives, and the true Jews. In a sense, it's aimed at making sure that little by little the American people hear and see only what the government wants them to hear and see on any and all media (including the Internet). The goal is to get rid of the t***h and promote only the lies and the Left's propaganda.

Perhaps I didn't quite get the total meaning of your response, so I'm just asking for your clarification.

I wish there were a way to keep ISIS, the terrorists, drug cartels, and all of the trash from using the Internet, but as long as the Internet is a global entity available in almost every country to any and all who have an Internet access, I don't think anything is going to stop the Internet use of these groups.

Yes, our Constitution, at this point, still allows free speech (not withstanding the fact that the free speech and religious rights of Christians and conservatives are now under attack and being stomped on constantly in America, and if net neutrality is not stopped, it will get worse), and, yes, I agree with you that we shouldn't allow terrorists to utilize the Internet to promote attacks on America which are unconstitutional and illegal, but I do not see that net neutrality is being aimed at all at stopping terrorists from using the Internet. It is more being aimed at eventually stopping Christians and conservative political voices from using it.

What are your thoughts on this major?

dennisimoto Loc: Washington State (West)

I don't know about the Major but mine are that we are doomed and that I need something with a high rate of fire and lots of ammo for it! Oh yeah, and body armor. I probably won't last long but, "call me up before you go go 'cause I ain't plannin' on goin' solo."

Danielle Loc: Las Cruces, NM

With you, dennisimoto! Prepare. Pray -- it's spiritual warfare! Stand your ground and stand firm for God and country -- occupy! Don't be silent! And lock 'n load!

The g*******ts/c*******ts/socialists are going to do everything they can to block our Constitutional rights to free political and religious speech, rights to bear arms and defend ourselves and fight for our country; in fact, the progressive Left agenda is aimed at destroying all of our Constitutional rights in this country, including the Constitution!

And Islam? "Death to America." Americans are infidels to Islam unless you're one of them. They're investigating the AmTrak disaster right now; too much evidence already mounting pointing fingers toward an act of terrorism. (Terrorism was the first thought that crossed my mind when I heard about it.)

Take care. The battle lines are drawn spiritually/politically in this country. America is now in a state of unrest, insecurity, and division that I've never seen before. United we stand; divided we fall. Yes, America is falling. Can we catch it and save it? I'm with you. Seriously, I doubt it. But, we can't stop trying. We owe that to our God, and we owe that to our country. We owe that to our founding fathers and to all the Vets who have fought for our country. And, we owe that to our children and our grandkids. We can't quit now! And, we need to maintain hope and faith: God has the Master Plan.

Be blessed.
