Breitbart has a couple of articles on Obama’s impending giveaway of the control of the internet. The US has traditionally been the entity that has preserved the freedom of ideas and commerce on the internet since the early days of its invention. And it would not exist at all if not for American inventiveness and scientific innovation. The net, after all, started out as a government defense project to protect communication in the event of a nuclear war. The bottom line is that Obama wants to hand the control of the net over to countries that do not want either freedom of speech or freedom of commerce.
Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy discusses the national security implications of giving up control of the internet in this article.
And here is a general article, also from Breitbart that reviews the poor human rights records of those nation that Obama is so anxious to please by giving away American property.
And to update, Politico reports that there is now an attempt by several state AGs and Ted Cruz to stop this horror with a court action. We will see what happens, but it is indeed troubling that we have been reduced to this in order to stop such actions on the part of Obama. We expect his to do this sort of thing because he is a malevolent jackass, but the RINO traitors in congress deserve equal disdain from us for being the cuckservative cowards that they are.
In their lawsuit, the attorneys general for Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada and Texas contend that the transition, lacking congressional approval, amounts to an illegal giveaway of U.S. government property. They also express fear that the proposed new steward of the system, a nonprofit known as ICANN, would be so unchecked that it could “effectively enable or prohibit speech on the Internet.”
The four states also contend that ICANN could revoke the U.S. government’s exclusive use of .gov and .mil, the domains used by states, federal agencies and the U.S. military for their websites. And the four attorneys general argue that ICANN’s “current practices often foster a lack of transparency that, in turn, allows illegal activity to occur.”
