Obama Can Shut Down Internet For 4 Months Under New Emergency Powers
Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet.com-
President Obama will be handed the power to shut down the Internet for at least four months without Congressional oversight if the Senate votes for the infamous Internet ‘kill switch’ bill, which was approved by a key Senate committee yesterday and now moves to the floor.
The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, which is being pushed hard by Senator Joe Lieberman, would hand absolute power to the federal government to close down networks, and block incoming Internet traffic from certain countries under a declared national emergency.
Despite the Center for Democracy and Technology and 23 other privacy and technology organizations sending letters to Lieberman and other backers of the bill expressing concerns that the legislation could be used to stifle free speech, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed in the bill in advance of a vote on the Senate floor.
In response to widespread criticism of the bill, language was added that would force the government to seek congressional approval to extend emergency measures beyond 120 days. Still, this would hand Obama the authority to shut down the Internet on a whim without Congressional oversight or approval for a period of no less than four months.
The Senators pushing the bill rejected the claim that the bill was a ‘kill switch’ for the Internet, not by denying that Obama would be given the authority to shut down the Internet as part of this legislation, but by arguing that he already had the power to do so.

What the PHUKK??? The so called American people are to blame for electing this SOB into office. He's nothing more than a COMMIE BASTARD, we need to remove him from office ASAP along with his incompetent administration…NOW!!!
Mrs Jack I'm with you. Of course by saying this we are now considered "domestic terrorists". So much for freedom of speech.
Greeting Mrs Jack:
Do you remember when Obama confessed that he was a muslim?
It's also important to remember that Obama was not born in America.
Most people fail to understand that Obama being a muslim is a very
very important fact. Obama is not loyal to America.
As a direct result of massive voter fraud (which the Supreme Court is covering up)
Obama was put into office.
No, "we" did not elect him —- the Electoral college did that for us
No, the electoral college didn't elect this repulsive reptile either. Acorn, the black panthers, mickey mouse and welfare trash can claim that dubious honor.
big business and big unions are the one who put oslima in office!!!! and this is another lame attempt to put america under dictator (obma) control!! i guess obama will start telling me just how long i will be able to stay in the bathroom!!! this is his dream, to set himself up as commender and chump!!! jerimeih wright, van jones, etc. read the book written by SAUL ALINSKI, ” RULES FOR RADICALS”. this is obama!!!
If you followed the news immediately after Obama the Kenyan King was elected, a map was shown of registered democrats and republicans. It was clear that Obama was not elected, but fraudulently PLACED in power. That does not negate the masses that did vote for him, and those who still believe he is the holy Messiah. But there is no way this many stupid people would have voted for a man that arrived on the scene like the pied piper, without any history, credentials, or birth certificate.
Regardless of who voted him in, or how he got into power-WE THE PEOPLE must remove his sorry arse from the White House however we have to do it.
Revolution Time. I say we begin the revolution in AZ and send the illegals back where they came from, or die as fertilizer for AZ crops.
Kim
Look, Floyd, he’s coming after you. The only way these despots can stay in power is to silence all opposition.
The internet as an asset is privately operated and maintained. I have a lot more faith in Microsoft and Google and McAfee and Symantec to protect the internet, than I have in the freaking @$#! federal government..
Is he going after the phone companies next? And if he shuts down the internet, are our ISPs going to still charge us for access to nothing during his BLACKOUT??!?
Microsoft is owned by Bill Gates & Gates voted for & supports Obama. Obama wants to have total control
of the people. We now have socialized medicine, which means Obama has life & death control over every
citizen in the country. Obama will shut the private insurance companies.
Bill Gates is a member of the elite secret global power group called the Bilderbergers. Of course he is going to join hands with Barry the Kenyan King.
From what they are saying now (in this artical) the Senators in DC do not even know or understand what is in this bill. Below is a e-mail reply from my Senator from Oregon With his reply he also lost my vote this year.
Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns about the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) role in regulating the Internet. Although we may disagree on the best way to maintain an open and free Internet, I appreciate the opportunity to share my perspective with you.
I share in your belief that it is critical we maintain the open character of the Internet, and I believe it is important that neither the corporations that control people’s access to the Internet nor the government be allowed to censor legal content. I have heard from Oregonians like you who are concerned about the FCC regulating the Internet, and believe that additional regulation could interfere with or otherwise negatively affect future Internet innovation. As you mentioned in your letter, the FCC is pursuing a set of policies that would require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks – a policy that is commonly referred to as network neutrality. This effort is intended to ensure that citizens’ access to information is not limited by whether their Internet service provider approves of the content or how much a given website might pay them.
Please know that if the FCC is successful in its effort to support network neutrality, it would have the authority to regulate the actual transmission of the Internet between your home and your service provider, not any content. Legislation regarding the FCC’s regulation of the Internet falls under the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. While I am not a member of this committee, if the full Senate should consider legislation that would affect network neutrality, please know that I will take your views in to consideration.
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that matter most to you.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Merkley
United States Senator
Step 3 in forming a Obama Dictatorship. Step one. Control the house and senate. Step 2 control and pass radical bills to control the people. Step 3 Control the internet. Step 4 confiscate all the guns. Welcome to the Communist dictatorship state of Obama the Savior.
Yes we are all focused on odumbo the thieving lying communist, muslim, but pay attention these idiotic bills and policies are coming from legislators, make sure only conservative incumbents go back don't pay attention to to r or d they don't mean a thing. After election a few senators that didn't get a vote this time need recall and impeachment started. It's going to take a while but we can't give up. The usurper would have never bought the campaign if pelosi hadn't signed fraudulent papers. Isn't it amazing how so many lawyers can ignore laws and constitution? Let's make sure all communist organizations are exposed and eliminated. Why do we have muslims wanting to take over western world meeting in convention in chicago? We are putting up with too many stupid activities in this country.
I know you've see the halos they have put behind this LIER, THIS THUG, THIS TOTALLY EVIL GUY..WHO IS NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN.. What A DESTROYER HE IS! You CANNOT BE A TRUE AMERICAN & SUPPORT OBAMA unless you have" hidden your head in the sand" & pay NO ATTENTION to what he is doing!! IF you have done that would you be a Patriotic American? OBVIOUSLY NOT!
He has PROVEN HE IS A COMMUNIST, MARXIST, & A MUSLIM…THEY have sworn to destroy America…Looks like they have their BIGGEST ALLY in the WHITEHOUSE…ALONG WITH ALL HIS THUGS..
He needs to go….NOW. Remember to vote all the Democraps out of office this November! Don't let him do any of this sh!t to us!
Obama now spells his name C-H-A-V-E-S.
For a small work from home business person, the Internet is the only thing that has kept us from going under. If it were shut down for 4 months we would lose our home, our car and just about everything else……but it seems that is what Mr. Obama is after…as many Americans as possible out of work and dependent on the government. I simply cannot wait until November so we can stop some of the insanity. Does anybody know if some of these insane things can be undone if we can get conservatives controlling the house and the Senate? That is my prayer but I don't even know if it is possible. I know they have talked about repealing the health care law.
Trish: The way thing's are going we can'r wait until November to get Obama and his thugs out of office. By controlling the Internet, It is another step in controlling our freedom. They have to go!
Jim B
Trish – Your story and real world situation is mirrored by millions across our land. The challenge is how to UNITE so we have one strong voice, presence, and vote this Nov. to rescue our Nation and start the recovery process. Who would you select as the leader for such a movement? I agree with you, we can't wait till Nov. to pull our forces together. Nov. should just be one milestone toward winning back our Nation in 2012. It's only too late late if we let it be. We need a driver, a vehicle, and fuel to get us there. I'm nobody but I could put together, in matter of fact I have, a route to get us there but we need a face and a name people relate to and respect to drive. I say Mike Huckabee but then there are many others. Put 10 candidates up on a unified platform, select one as driver, and go for it. Call it the Republican, Conservative, Tea Party, or whatever Train to DC and start the journey. There's room for all Patriots who want to reclaim our Constitution & Bill of Rights, etc. and I promise momentum will build once the train leaves the station. It needs to happen pretty quick before we loose the opportunity and people give up. My Name's Fred.
You know Fred, I think we need a trillion American peoples right to freedom march in Washington D.C. But something tells me it wouldn't matter what we did. It seems to me that they do not understand ENGLISH in the house..maybe some street thug talk or muslin gibberish, maybe some Mexican drug lord approach might work… but your right , we need to form as big of a group as we can and stick together. I'm thinking boycott everything obama and his friends has there hands in. watch what you buy and where you shop.. anyone that took payouts from obama stimulus money ,or took there business over seas sold us out and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ……………..now there wanting us to support them . I think there is more than we could ever know going on with this group of evilness working there way into controlling our country against the AMERICAN PEOPLE VOICE…
Trish,
Nobama is a muslim who was born in a cesspool called Kenya. He was placed into power by people
who have zero loyalty to the United States. Nobama wants the United States to be under muslim law.
We are heading towards a 1 world government, a 1 world religious system & a 1 world money system.
It's going to get far worse. Raymond.
JOE BIDEN NEEDS HIS A.Z.Z KICK UP AROUND HIS NECK POS
A LIBERIAL BRAIN DEAD PUPPET HANGING ON A RUBBER BAND
ALL THE OBAMA CORRUPT CRIMINALS NEED TO GO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
WE NEED ALL THE MILLIONS OF ARMED AMERICANS TO GO AFTER THESE THUGS AND GIVE THEM
WHAT THEY DESERVE PURE HELL
2ND AMENDMENT THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS AND PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM THUGS
They all need to go to Hell and burn!
Get rid of Obama and get rid of most of the problems we face as a sovereign Nation!! Is he a Natural Born Citizen or not?
Fred; Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen. Obama was born in Kenya! His long form birth certificate has been posted on the internet.
He was NOT born in America, which means that he holds that office illegally. Raymond
We’re all looking forward to Nov. 2 when we can vote this flaming socialist out of office. But how do we know the ballot box will still be open?! If he can kill the internet he can pretty much do whatever he wants. How many injuries must we suffer before he is removed from office? I say get it done while we still have a shred of our Constitution left.
This is just one more reason why the voters need to remove practically all sitting Senators and Representatives.
There is not one problem that America is dealing with that has not been brought about by the actions of Congress and the Senate. The interference of the government into the internet, being facilitated by Lieberman and his cohorts is simply one more nail in their political coffin. The voters are fed up with their arrogance
If we did not fill the 'office of president', in keeping with the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, then
we are a country with an illigal in the office. What can we expect, except more and more problems?
Get rid of the damn bastard by impeaching him, plain and simple! I so hate his guts!
If anyone thinks that this idiot in the white house won't create a crisis so he can shut free speech down, then think again! This evil in the wh will do anything he can to shut up anyone who disagrees with him! This is exactly what he is planning and you can bet your food money that as soon as this is passed, if it passes and takes effect before the Nov. elections, there will be a crisis and the internet will be shut down so his henchmen can be re-elected and he can remain a dictator! Remeber their slogan, "never let a good crisis go to waste", right out of the communist playbook! (IMPEACH NOBAMA NOW AND SAVE THE COUNTRY!!!!)
I see so many people saying, "Imeach Obama now" but does anyne have an idea how this can be done?
Impeachment processes can only be prompted and performed by congress. Right now, Demonrats hold the majority in congress and there's no way they'll impeach one of their own. If the GOP takes the majority next year, then perhaps they'll file for impeachment and begin impeachment processes. So, vote this Nov for the GOP reps running in your district and hope like hell the US is still a Constitutional Republic with something worth salvaging in January 2011.
Satan is in the White House.
No question, this is a step towards 0bama's becoming degnerate (he is as degenerate as those he bows to, such as Abdullah-bin-saud, or tries to "accomodate" such as Castro and Chavez) dictator/monarch!
He's a stupid-@$$ motherf*cker! Impeach him now!
Looks like China is our next stop..Communism or socialism..Without free exchange of information, we will be fed "their truths"
Don't you mean their lies? I hate them, hate them so damn much because of it!
We now have socialized medicine, just like China. This means Nobama has life & death control over
everyone living in the United States & this is one of his goals. Nobama is a muslim & most people
don't know or don't care why this is so important. The Qu'ran teaches muslims to conquer the world in
the name of their false god. In the Qu'ran it talks about how Muhammad married a 9 year old girl.
Did you know that in Arab countries it's ok for a grown male (not worthy to be called men) to marry
2 year old? Check it out for yourself. Raymond
http://avenueoflight.xanga.com/ go here and read the whole site this is what they are planning the new world order bildergergers et al also the horrific food bill that was introduced has it passed yet?
PokeandNudge.com posted a warning to the people in July 2009, that the administration was going after the internet. This is extremely serious and is a must for all dictators. This MUST be stopped.
How can we stop this f*cking b*st*rd from doing this? This makes me so f*cking mad! Damn him, damn all of them! @$$holes!
Amina Said, 18, and her sister Sarah, 17, smile happily in one widely circulating photo, and Amina is wearing what looks like a sweatshirt bearing the name “AMERICAN.” But their fate may have been the herald of a new, disquieting feature of the American landscape: honor killing. Amina and Sarah were shot dead in Irving, Texas, on New Year’s Day. Police are searching for their father, Yaser Abdel Said, on a warrant for capital murder.
The girls’ great aunt, Gail Gartrell, told reporters, “This was an honor killing.” She explained that Yaser Said had long abused the girls, and after discovering that they had boyfriends, had threatened to kill them — whereupon their mother fled with them. “She ran with them,” said Gartrell, “because she knew he would carry out the threat.” But Said found them, and apparently did carry it out.
Honor killing, the practice of murdering a female family member who is believed to have sullied the family honor, enjoys widespread acceptance in some areas of the Islamic world.
Those who control this site will delete posts that talk about
Obama being a muslim. They deleted 2 of mine earlier today.
I'm sure in short order this post will be deleted. Raymond
That's too bad because it's part of the problem. How can people know what to do or what's in store for them if they don't know the whole story?
Proverbs 29:16a; "When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth…"
Proverbs 29:2; "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
Damn governmment anyhow. They are trying to take control of everything. They need to be stopped.
TO PUT THE "KILL SWITCH" IN THE HANDS OF THE COMMUNIST, ILLEGAL RADICAL MUSLIM IS LIKE PUTTING A BLACK CRIMINAL OR JUST BLACK IN FRONT OF THE KKK AND NO ONE LOOKING. OBAMA IS COMMUNIST AND WILL TAKE (AND IS TAKING) ALL OF OUR FREEDOM OF COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER AND SHARING ALL THE CRIME NEWS OF HIS ILLEGAL ACTIONS. THAT WOULD ELATE HIM. HE HAS TO BE STOPPED ALONG WITH THE IDIOT "MOUSY" JOE LIEBERMAN. HE'S A PIECE OF CRAP, ALSO. HE'S EVIDENTLY BEEN WON OVER TO THE COMMUNIST SIDE. I'M SURE HIS MIND IS SO CLUTTERED WITH STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE THAT, "HE JUST COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF". CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL MY SYMPATHY? GET THE BOTH OF THEM OUT OF POWER. IMPEACH OR ARREST FOR TREASON (PREFERABLY) AND OUST FOR STUPIDITY (COMMON SENSE). ASAP.
I REALLY QUESTION THE UNBIASNESS OF THIS SITE. I HAVE TESTED IT SEVERAL TIMES BY POLITICAL COMMENTS REGARDING PARTY, PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS THAT OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES WOULD HARSHLY DISLIKE. THIS SITE WILL SAY, "COMMENT TOO LONG" UNTIL I KEEP DELETING UNTIL I GET THOSE COMMENTS OUT. OR, THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE SITE MUST APPROVE IT. I JUST SENT A COMMENT THAT THE "ADMIN. MUST APPROVE". SOUNDS BIASED TO ME. HAS OBAMA ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THE POWER OF THE "KILL SWITCH"?
whats next for obama to take over, hmm? How much does he have to smash us down before we slap back?
Newspapers are next.
After being interviewed as a guest on two radio programs back-to-back, I was angry and frustrated. I had to endure radio talk show hosts and callers who have never attended a tea party, tell me how racist the rallies are. Not only will this false accusation of racism not go away, it appears to be growing stronger…….. http://www.newswithviews.com/Marcus/lloyd139.htm

Odd coincidences in the past 24 months.
Health Care Legislation = Swine Flu
Financial Reform Legislation = Economic Collapse in Market
Cap and Trade Legislation = Gulf Oil Crisis
Internet Control Legislation = Russian Cyber Spies
The Democratic Party, "Never let a good crisis go to waste, it's not just a slogan anymore, it's the way we do business."
Yep. And if the crisis you need doesn't come your way by chance, then create it.
Send this abomanation & thugory to hell!!!
To give a control freak that much power is to doom our country. The man has no morals and hates this country and wants to make us all slaves, including the blacks. I do not consider him black other than skin color.
Its Obama and his banker ilk that keep all the working man down no matter what race you are by controling wages thru illegal immigration cheap labor and shipping jobs over seas because of the unions both are bad for the people and employment. The clear winner hear with these kinds of policies are the banking sector and big business. Obama plays like he cares for latinos and african americans but let me tell you he doesn't. His boss is who hes been paying with your money folks the banks and big corporations and the people got robbed and continue to get robbed thru the taxation paid straight to the Federal Reserve. I tell all Americans open your damn eyes and stop the infighting our treasure is being looted by crooks on both side of the aisle for years except now its out of control.
Dictators love control and can't stand freedom of the press or speech that awakens the masses of the herd and can open their eyes to the criminal deciet that goes on in bohemoth government thats why big government owns the corporate media and its all scripted teleprompter read just like the liar and chief to create infighting amongst the American people. You see folks while were fighting left and right they robb us blind and give it straight to the Federal Reserve branch while they borrow more and more from the Fed and plot and scheme on ways to rob the till for themselves and this happens in both parties. we need to kick the same faces out of there or were gonna keep getting the same thing over and over again.
LOVE the O'castro.reference. Absolutely correct if not POLITICALLY correct. Who started that phrase any how? THE DEMONCRAPS?
He'd better not, that motherf*cker, is all I can say! DAMN HIM TO F*CKING HELL!
I sure hope so. I'm sick and tired of the crap by him and his co-horts! They all need to go! Remember to vote in November, and in the meantime, pray for our country. We need to get the viruses out of the White House, as they are sick.
Let's pull the plug on the Obomanation Administration! Vote them all out of office in November! They can't do this to us! F*ck them!
It's the media stupid

Nobama was put into the White House by people like George Soros & the Rockerfella family.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! For FOUR months………………..Could it be related to dem dare NOVEMBER ELECTIONS? DANG! There is NO END to what dem dare DEMONCRAPS will do to ensure a victory, now IS DARE?
pray fir g
They just dont want us to the the truth.
All the information or resources that have it.
Truth of oil spill, fumes killing people moving to florida.
Human Scanners in Airports, able to see through clothes.
No internet for 4 months. probably.
Trying to take the right of bare arms.
Thats they try to take over.
etc.
Myself & millions of loyal Americans want to see Nobama impeached! Is this likely to happen?
No would be my answer. And the reason is a follows. The people that have the power to impeach
this muslim are the same people who put him into power. Some of Nobama's supporters refer to him
god. Obviously, this is a bad situation for those who love America. Raymond
OMFG. WTF. SHUTTING DOWN MY INTERNET?! WHAT ELSE IS HE GONNA DO… Man just WAIT till November..
ggg
I pray for obamas death
This is what Mr. Obama had to say concerning our troops:"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."
He'd better not fucking do this, or DAMN HIM TO HELL!! If he's thinking about it, he can GO FUCK HIMSELF!! Can't anyone stop HIM?! We need to pull the plug on HIM!! He's such a FUCKING ASSHOLE!!
You just go ahead and cut off our internet you effing power hungary maniac and you will have a revolution on your hands
Obama wants complete control of the Western World, don't be surprised if there if is a fake emergency/disaster and Obama shuts off the internet everywhere.
