Drudge Alert: Senate Panel Approves "Internet Kill" Switch Plan; New Emergency Powers

This is terrible. Barry is moving to prevent any alternative candidates from having a shot against the establishment boys in future elections.

Isn't this bill in direct violation of Amendment one of the constitution?

What about the ramification if the internet were shut down for a period of time to companies, such as, Ebay, Amazon, Netflix etc..

It will be selectively enforced.

Government always expands its power.

And people never understand that.

Fools.

Senate Panel Approves Controversial Cybersecurity Bill

PC World - June 24

The bill, introduced earlier this month, would establish a White House Office for Cyberspace Policy and a National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications, which would work with private U.S. companies to create cybersecurity requirements for the electrical grid, telecommunications networks and other critical infrastructure.​

As I've repeatedly said in the past, optical links are the ONLY way to go despite their inconvenience of requiring LOS for local networks. True, non-local networks pose more of a problem, but communicating locally can be accomplished very securely without the need for ANY approval from the FCC. Did most of you honestly think the government would leave the internet alone? HaHa

Do any of you want to make some honest money? Mass produce the RONJA system at an affordable price and update the system with modern components. Develop the capability for networking these systems together locally. Also, one can use interface these optical systems to bi-quad dish antennas on WIFI networks. An interesting experiment would include utilizing these technologies, i.e. RONJA and bi-quad WIFI, in some sort of "WAN". For the latter to work over larger areas, bi-quad dish antennas need the capability of operating up to 10+ miles.

ham-band networking. just sayin'

you could actually use that visual LOS base for local nodes, and hamband to interconnect those nodes, based on a DARPANET/USENET structure and end up with a dam near bulletproof underground internet.

I think it's time to protest this like the world is about to end. This has to be the biggest blow to the liberty movement this year.

Things are gonna get a lot darker before the dawn. We WILL win this thing if we don't slide back into apathy :ahem: (I'm looking at YOU, liberty movement) but 5x as many people need to become outraged from current standings. And they will whether we stay active or not. Whether we stay active or not will determine whether there is a viable alternative when that rage boils over, or whether they opt for totalitarianism of the worst kind as 'the only option.'

 

[FrankRep]

Bump, it's important.

 

[michaelwise]

Go ahead BO, shut the Internet down. Make my day. Then watch the value of these companies immediately go to ZERO. Google zero, Amazon zero, Microsoft zero, Apple zero, Ebay zero, Cisco zero, etc zero. Make my day BO.

I hate to say it but it's already started, they just shut some sites down yesterday.

When you go to them this is what comes up

Copyrights, eh? Nothing like paying off the government to allow one to sit on their arse for 100 years based on past production while seeking protection at the expense of taxpayers funding the judicial system for that 100 years. Personally, after 10 years of taxpayer-funded support of the judicial system, copyrights should be deemed purchased and transferred to the public domain as the taxpayers own them.

OK, i don't mind sharing this, but what sort of sites are being shut down?

 

[ProBlue33]

These sites are sort of a google connection for movies both current and old. They don't actually host the vids but act as a hub and direction finder for where you can find them. For example the A-team is in theaters still, and these sites direct you to various links for that movie, not all work even, but some always do.

Anyways they said it's pirating, actually it isn't because they host no vids it's the other sites that are doing the actually pirating. It not HD either it's like 480 on a small screen with poor sound. If that is a threat to Hollywood movies, then something is seriously wrong. But it has no effect on movies that people want to experience rather that just see, like Avatar.

And guess what; we will ALWAYS be in a state of emergency with this administration in power.
I'm telling you, these liberals are going to transform this country into something we won't even recognize during an ongoing state of emergency.
