An Unnoticed Attachment

Hey, if I can't trust The One to know when it's time to shut me up, who can I trust? [Read]

I hear echoes of card-carrying Socialist Rep. Henry Waxman: "If these people are going to use the Internet to defend their rights, then I don't feel comfortable with their having the Internet at all."
The free flow of speech and information is like the dead man switch the Discovery Channel terrorist said he had on his bombs. There was some kind of explosion when they shot him, reports say.
Finding the Internet just OFF one day for a reason other than technical difficulties or routine maintenance by my provider would indicate that the putsch, the purge, the mass arrests and martial law have begun. I don't advise our dear leaders to play with THAT pretty shiny blasting cap.

N'that kinda idiocy could be a tipper, like the kind on the list at JPFO. Anybody else get the feeling that King Obongo, once he shuts the internet down, won't allow it back on? Hell, the Constitution and the BOR mean squat to him, why should communications be any big deal?

This internet kill switch business just could be the Ft Sumter a lot of people are waiting for, rather than some idiotic draconian gun control legislation.

I would guess that something like this will affect many millions more people than just gun owners, or even those concerned with the health care act. An internet controlled by the feds will restrict who, when and where one can communicate with almost anyone.

First amendment shot to hell.

Just thinking.
