It Continues...

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Benghazi incident may be tied to creating support for control of the internet, and a couple of interesting things have happened since...

Ron Paul retired from Congress and delivered his farewell address on November 14, 2012 (CampaignForLiberty).  In it he mentioned the only thing standing between big government and totalitarianism is the internet.  Therefore, he stresses, that it must not be regulated.  This is exactly how I feel and the point I made in a previous blog.

Then there is Ted Koppel, who appeared in a Kalb Report Forum and spoke at length about how he missed the good ol' days when the news media was controlled by only a few organizations (RushLimbaugh.com).  He goes further, claiming that more news outlets actually hurts democracy.  How ridiculous is that!?  So less speech makes us more free and more democratic?  The truth is he laments his own power to control what people believe and what they know.

And then there is this report on how proposed legislation will give the government the right to search all kinds of activity on the internet, including emails, without a warrant (CNet.com).  The important part of this story is how the bill began: it was supposed to limit police power over the internet.  And that is the trick.  Democrats like to start out with something that sounds good and many will support.  Then, when no one is paying attention, they molest and pervert it to their true purpose.  Just like "Campaign Finance Reform" which actually put more money into politics and only limited the speech of private organizations, not liberal ones, like unions.

And don't forget that Obama signed an executive order giving the government great power over the internet after Congress failed to pass a similar bill (CNet.com).

Keep an eye on this, and again, look at Benghazi, which is still blamed on an internet video.  The Democrats will stop at nothing to control the internet.  They want to suppress opposition and make sure people hear, see, and understand only what they allow.
