Yeah Glenn Beck. I'm not entirely clear why they really want to do this, but shutting down the internet? Thats a stretch into batshit insane land.
Whatever is driving this is much more complicated and multi-sided.
The end-game is control. Which currently not much of anyone has BY DESIGN!.
And I think that drives the rub. This massive system millions of Americans and they're mothers are hooked into, and Uncle same ain't got shit on it. They can't even properly tax it. They are scared of what they don't know, thats one angle.
Another angle is the internet is a perfectly good excuse for yet another bureaucracy.
Yet another is the constant daily attacks by our friends from China and South Korea and to a somewhat lesser extent Russia. And again I think that plays into the we don't know what to be scared of, so we are scared mantra.
There are alot of different ways to come at this without assuming the internet would get shut down.
Would not surprise me to learn that our lawmakers are envious of what the Chinese have done with the internet. And even they didn't shut it down! cmon!.
What I'm sure of, is the reasoning I've heard come down for all of this, is total bullshit. If they were serious they would extend this thinking beyond the internet. Hell just start shutting down cities, businesses, public services keep everyone home!.
Also occured to me the other day, that shutting down a website is something they already have some control over. After all we (USA) runs the damn domain naming root servers. If the feds had court order to shutdown a website, they have no problem doin it and have done it. That could be it, they want a way to shutdown websites without court order. Just a thought.
Again I have no love for Glenn Beck and think hes off his rocker. But at least we can fight for the same essential thing. Which is to keep Uncle Sam's hands off the motherfucker.
