With the help of his new "Internet Czar," Susan Crawford, Obama will now set about to take control over the internet. There is already a bill working its way through Congress to give him such power during a time of emergency, but just in case he doesn't want to wait that long, they have come up with another idea.
Crawford (who has ties to both ACORN and the ONE WEB DAY PROJECT) says about the internet; "We should do a better job as a nation of making sure fast, affordable broadband is as obiquitous as electricity, water, snail mail or any other public utility."
In other words, some of that stimulus package that "helped out the banks and auto industry" will now disburse funds which make the internet more accessible to those who cannot afford to pay for an internet provider. But, as we have already seen, once the government throws their gold coins, they become a partial owner and feel entitled to attach regulations like Christmas lights on a purse string.
By an amazing coincidence, ONE WEB DAY PROJECT lists Free Press as a participating organization. Free Press was founded by self professed Marxist, Robert McChensey (Sheesh! Another Marxist? They're crawling out of the wood work like cockroaches!) McChensey recently said over a website called, SOCIALIST PROJECT, " Instead of waiting for the revolution to happen, we learned that unless you make significant changes in the media, it will be vastly more difficult to have a revolution."
Concurrently, Obama's other Czar, Mark Lloyd, wants FCC regulations for "more diversity" on the radio. It's time to start connecting the dots, people. Once the government runs the internet, they will complain that we do not have enough diversity over the World Wide Web just as we hear too much conservative chit chat over the airwaves. Now, honestly, can you think of anything, and I mean ANYTHING more diverse than the internet right now? Politics run the gambit of blogs like TownHall.com to MoveOn.org. On the web, you can find every conceivable opinion about religion, film, culture, sports, fishing, boating, sex, kitchen patterns, pets, or even 17th Century British embroidery! And we need more diversity? That's only code for "Diversity which respects different people groups," which is code for "We must not offend certain people," which is code for, "It will be against the law to say anything that is not Politically Correct, or more accurately, put, anything Obama does not want us to say." The man doesn't care about sensitivity or combating offensive words so much as he cares about power. The major newspapers are not enough. Every television news network (except FOX) is not enough. PBS (paid for by your tax dollars) is not enough. Our president does not want to be criticized anywhere at all, period! That's it! And if he has to flush out the last bastion of free speech like a bloodhound on a fox hunt, well, saddle up, Czars!. Obama's proposed laws are designed around diversity the way submarines were designed to explore creeks.
