Ready to Give Up To Obama Your Internet Freedom?

The Obama administration has announced September 2015 as the end to U.S. stewardship of the open Internet; Russia and China will really take advantage of that American ICANN surrender too. Authoritarian regimes want to grab control recognizing the "different modes and methods in Internet management"--code for a major subversion of the Internet and restriction to freedom of speech. 

Meanwhile, even though it is solely under the control of the U.S. Congress who voted down in both houses to give up ICANN controls, Obama is stealthily trying to pass his 'Executive Order' on the down-low and bypass congressional oversight once again; it will be far from the 'modest change in policy' that Obama claimed in March, 2014--another lie!  

Is Obama really aware of the major damages? Of course not, he is again clueless!--But how many more times must the public take that silly "clueless excuse?" It's time that everyone must finally just admit he really does know what he is doing! - Obama is a hardcore Socialist always ready to lie to promote his one-world government progressive ideals for wealth redistribution.      

Secretly, behind closed doors, the nations of the world had been negotiating an International Internet Treaty — initiated by Russia and China — to regulate theHu Jintao & Vladmir Putin Internet through an United Nations agency, the ITU, International Telecommunications Union. It was a boring highly technical meeting largely ignored by the press corps. The only reason anyone knows about these talks in the first place is through a "WikiLeaks anonymous posting" by a participant in the talks. That and the fact that in the signing ceremony in Dubai in December 2012, it was conducted in which Secretary of State Clinton had attended.

Thankfully the U.S. in this round of meetings did not sign any accords to give up any hard fought Internet sovereignty to thuggish authoritarian regimes like China and Russia. The internal political pressures on Washington have China & Russia agree on a U.N. International Telecommunication Union Agency to regulate the Internet.
been great to keep the Internet ICANN organization under U.S. control and from Billionaire software moguls, "Big Bucks" Obama donors, like Larry Page of Google, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook and Larry Ellison of Oracle. However, that still does not guarantee the future under Barack Obama if he has anything to do with it if he so desperately grabs at any major legacy he can hang his hat on so late in a failed lame-duck administration--these are desperate times requiring even more desperate measures and consequences to Obama don't really matter much, except to our freedoms. 

Everyone, worldwide too, will feel all the laws, restrictions & tax levies as the price they will pay when overseen by just another corrupt U.N. Regulatory Agency. It is nearly a guaranteed outcome when a stacked houseful of hungry, poorer members nations who greedily set up and collect their excessive access fees create a type of International third-world restricted Internet service program.

Vladamir Putin & Hillary Clinton

Has anyone asked Hillary about the details or her part in this little hidden disingenuous peccadillo of activities in her Secretary of State resume?

Now let's go forward to December 12, 2014, after the Russian government has cracked down on Internet Freedom rights. Google, Inc. have closed their search engineering offices upon being concerned about the safety of its staff in Russia should Google run afoul of the new Russian laws. Google will still maintain sales, user support, business partnerships, marketing and training. But why did they close you ask?

"Russia is one of the rare markets where Google doesn’t dominate the search sector. Yandex NV has long been number one, even though Google recently has been gaining ground. Yandex NV held 59.6% of the Russian search market in November, down from 61.9% a year earlier, according to Liveinternet.ru. Google, meanwhile, captured 31.7% in November, up from 26.4% a year earlier."

In the overall Russian Internet search market shares, the 31.7% capture by Google increased by an impressive 5.30% in just over a year. It appears the government regulators did not want to risk further embarrassment for any more erosion of their market sector share of Yandex NV dissolving under their iron-fisted control of Internet activities.

Another domestic issue was the civil unrest in Russia which is always a concern of a totalitarian government. Recently Russia had a rebellion that Putin and his cronies blamed was brought about and coordinated through the Internet social media. Putin further blamed the Western countries, specifically the U.S., for harboring and releasing these cyber-attacks inside the Russian borders too.

The Kremlin signed into Russian law their oppressive Internet regulations governing data-handling practices by Internet companies:

• All bloggers with 3,000 or more daily readers are required to register with the government and provide their home address. The ruling prevents these bloggers from using foul language and forbids them from spreading false information effective August 1, 2014. 

• All companies are required to store the personal data of all Russian users on servers within Russia. The law set the deadline for compliance as Sept. 1, 2016. Russian lawmakers proposed moving the deadline to Jan. 1, 2015, but the proposal didn’t receive final approval after companies objected. Now lawmakers are proposing a compromise deadline of Sept. 1, 2015. 

Now, government suppression of free speech created an actual exodus of Russian tech startup companies.  It is stark evidence that capitalism is alive and well since many have moved abroad to other countries in Eastern Europe such as the Baltics or to Asia. It has been reported that dozens of companies have closed their Moscow offices and gone to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia or countries in Asia. These expatriates even admit that the majority of them are happy about moving out of Russia--not good news to Vladmir Putin's ears I'm sure.

You Are All Certifiably Insane About the Internet!

Are you all nuts??

How loud should a cry be to wail loudly enough to be heard? - Your lives are going to be CHANGED FOREVER if Obama gets his way! - NO LIE! 

• Do you all realize that if you think the NSA, National Security Agency, scandal was intrusive in monitoring your emails, phone calls and text messages by the United States government then you haven't considered a global U.N. bureaucracy that will have power to reject any nation's citizen's ability to say, "No!", to Internet monitoring and content bans. - Scary? Oh, it's going to happen fast too!

• Do you all realize that if you think the Somali pirates taking ships and crews as hostages to exact "fees" and "just tolls" through their waters was extortion implicit in allowing safe passage and controlling strategic territories past their own weapons then you haven't considered a United Nations that has long craved for the power to tax all Internet traffic over the world-wide-web of seas of information while users are navigating around the U.N. software censorship mines?  

As far back as 2001, a U.N. report, "Financing the Global Sharing Economy," proposed that the U.N. be given authority to levy a tax on "speculative currency transactions" with a projected revenue stream north of $150 billion. Should the U.N. get control of the Internet, $150 billion will be "chump change" growing into $Trillions to go into the United Nations treasury, International Banks and pockets of crooked U.N. Directors and Member nations.  

It would enable a chokehold on the global economy and a vast stream of revenue that would make the U.N. even more unaccountable than it already is now. All this would start out modestly with a fee, never called "a tax," maybe a small transaction fee for certain types of traffic. But if history is any guide, the run-up to big dollars will be stunningly rapid. One need only reference the increases in U.S. federal revenues and expenditures after passage in 1913 of the 16th Amendment establishing the federal income tax. The top 1913 rate of 7% more than doubled by 1916 to 15%, then rocketed to 67% in 1917 and 77% in 1918. It always starts small--AND never ends!

Power follows the money, and bureaucratic appetites are voracious. Who will there be to stop the process, after all? Where is the elected legislative body that will answer to the world's population that finally pays these "fees"? Among the many disingenuous justifications being touted for this colossal strategic mistake is that 'No Government Control' will be imposed on the Internet--BULLSHIT! --What does the 'One World Global Body,' the U.N. Government agency, call itself then?

Can anyone doubt that within just the next few decades the Internet will be the essential infrastructure for participation in even the smallest segment of the global economy? The revenue potential associated with controlling the "rivers" of the 21st-century-and-beyond will be enormous and will finance an ever-expanding international bureaucracy, likely under the aegis of the United Nations.

Obama Gives Up Internet to U.N. in 2015

The U.S. only invented, developed and paid for the entire Internet network and we are just giving it away. In another Obama "Kumbayah" (Lord Come By Here) warm, fuzzy moment with a cozy "one-world" global government hug, the United States relinquishes control and global supremacy in Internet information technology and innovation to U.N. International politics and corrupt countries. 

The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration, NTIA, will end its formal relationship with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, ICANN, in late 2015. ICANN is now developing a new global governance model to manage technical functions and IP names and addresses, the NTIA agency said. 

The NTIA plans to let its contract with ICANN to operate key domain-name functions expire in September 2015, while requiring the organization to develop a new global Internet governance model, NTIA administrator Lawrence Strickling said during a press conference.

Under the U.S. Department of Commerce, NTIA is working with other countries' governments and international organizations to discuss and reach consensus on relevant Internet policy issues. Honestly, let me ask you: How has the United Nations worked out for world commerce? Peace and war initiatives? Hmn...I don't hear a lot of enthusiasm from you! So then, How is the NTIA going to arrive at any relevant international Internet policies with these same governmental bodies?--Read below for two actual instances internationally and domestically of 'Free Speech Internet Practices.'

1. Spurring censorship fears, on March 15, 2014 Bejing China's largest listed Internet company, Tencent Holdings Ltd., deleted at least 30 popular accounts that send news updates to users on the WeChat mobile messaging application to "crack down and deal with" any content distributed on WeChat that violated laws, policies and regulations. Coming amid a sustained government crackdown on online discourse, the step appeared to be one of the most public and wide-scale to date taken by Tencent to reign in public discussion of politics on WeChat, which now has more than 270 million monthly active users. 

Does the current U.N. Agenda 21 apply here too? - Every Internet participant is a citizen in the World Internet Global Society and most agree that online piracy is wrong. It stifles creativity as well as stunts growth because it discourages not only original ideas but artistic expressions too. After all, who wants their efforts and works they created stolen by someone unduly assuming original credits or enriching themselves momentarily?--The argument sounds reasonable, or is it?

Of course, this U.N. Plan is "voluntary"; even so, H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton signed it anyway. It is a plan to develop globally, locally and nationally collective population-environmental plans to control municipal planning and individual activities, including personal choices, i.e., Internet network guidelines to control collective ideas a la Orwell's 1984 scenario or like China's empty high-rise cities which are the result of Agenda 21 city planning on a massive scale. (No one lives in any of them) 

2. Waiting for better timing until after the 2012 Presidential elections; in 2013, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was pushed by Obama. In the pursuit of protection from copyright infringement it cripples Internet freedom as it masks massive underlying problems of government infringement on our free speech rights too. With its intrusive powers it allows heavy-handed enforcement to bully legislation over responsible individuals or Internet sites by exerting onerous, ambiguous regulations and expensive litigation which could accomplish the same damaging effects as piracy by destroying Internet freedoms to create or share information. It was proved to be politically designed by Obama to curb conservative talk radio and television shows and was resoundingly defeated before it became law. 

Obama has pushed for 'Net Neutrality' to have 'balanced programs' for everyone--it's nonsense! That was true in the early era of T.V. aerials and limited 'on-air' broadcasters. But today, we have Broadcast stations, Cable stations and Internet providers who put on their shows with opposing formats over a viewing audience who votes with their own remote controls on which kind of the hundreds of stations they watch: left, right, independent, libertarian or whatever.  Obama hasn't got it passed yet, but he would love to control the program content if he could, so watch out!

WARNING: So what can we foresee?

How about the upcoming restrictive U.N. Internet Agency regulations and controls?

They will be announced upon the U.N. 2015 roll out after the politicians have assured Internet users, 'You'll see no changes.' But, they have already announced that various 'private' organizations and companies will be involved too. What is that vague reference all about?

How about the high exclusionary costs to many Internet users? 

I think that the politicians, by the way, are looking at the Internet as the 21st Century's next version of the U.S. Post Office. It is another rich organization to tax as a 'mail carrier', albeit, 'e-mail.' The U.S. Postal union and SAIC are salivating about those possibilities too--be wary.

It's also a cash cow for the United Nations to charge for the I.P. addresses and names registration fees along with U.N. international access charges, U.N. annual license fees--business & personal rates, U.N. internet band use taxes and U.N. internet carbon taxes and U.N. operations surcharges. Additional local, state and federal surcharges and taxes under the current FCC laws will apply too. 

Get ready for billions of dollars to disappear into corrupt politicians' pockets or for various U.N. countries' regional 'access fees.'

Obama Still at It to Dump Internet & U.S. ICANN

The Obama administration has again announced the end to U.S. stewardship of the open Internet; Russia and China will take advantage of the American ICANN surrender too. Authoritarian regimes want to grab control recognizing the 'different modes and methods in Internet management'.--code for a major subversion of the Internet and restriction to freedom of speech. Meanwhile, Obama is stealthly trying to pass his 'Executive Order' on the down-low and bypass congressional oversight once again; it will be far from the 'modest change in policy' that Obama claimed in March, 2014.  Is Obama aware of the major damages?  Of course not, he is again clueless!--How many more times must the public take that silly clueless excuse and just admit he knows what he is doing?        

Sands in an Hourglass."Like sands in the hourglass, so are 'The Days of Our Lives'."--to borrow the line from a popular daytime soap opera introduction. Since 1965, it is one of the longest-running scripted television programs in the world. It is even older than the Internet--my how time flies!

FACTOID: On October 24, 1995 the Federal Networking Council, FNC, unanimously passed a resolution defining the term 'Internet'. This definition was developed in consultation with members of the internet and intellectual property rights communities. RESOLUTION: The Federal Networking Council (FNC) agrees that the following language reflects our definition of the term 'Internet'. It refers to the global information system that -- (i) is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons; (ii) is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other IP-compatible protocols; and (iii) provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described herein.

"The Internet has changed much in the three decades since it came into existence. It was conceived in the era of time-sharing, but has survived into the era of personal computers, client-server and peer-to-peer computing, and the network computer. It was designed before LANs existed, but has accommodated that new network technology, as well as the more recent ATM and frame switched services. It was envisioned as supporting a range of functions from file sharing and remote login to resource sharing and collaboration which had spawned electronic mail and more recently the World Wide Web, Internet telephone and Internet television.

"The most pressing question for the future of the Internet is not how the technology will change, but how the process of change and evolution itself will be managed. The architecture of the Internet has always been driven by a core group of designers, but the form of that group has changed as the number of interested parties has grown. With the success of the Internet has come a proliferation of stakeholders - stakeholders now with an economic as well as an intellectual investment in the network. [Those major multi-national stakeholders have taken their suppressive political underpinnings to threaten the global Internet freedom of speech that have been advanced since the beginning by the United States ICANN organization.] 

"We now see, in the debates over control of the domain name space and the form of the next generation IP addresses, a struggle to find the next social structure that will guide the Internet in the future. The form of that structure will be harder to find, given the large number of concerned stakeholders. At the same time, the industry struggles to find the economic rationale for the large investment needed for the future growth, for example to upgrade residential access to a more suitable technology. If the Internet stumbles, it will not be because we lack for technology, vision, or motivation. It will be because we cannot set a direction and march collectively into the future."

Like those 'sands in the hourglass' our Internet freedoms are quickly slipping right between our fingers to be lost forever. With our U.S. Federal Communications Commission, the United Nations, the European Union, the various sovereign nations, partisan coalitions and special interest groups they all have strict regulatory agendas to curb current Internet freedoms. Can they all get along?--Read about the U.N. Security Council...

Look at the ridiculous farse exhibited by the United Nations Security Council, its members are so stacked up against any United States participation. Under the Charter, the Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions. The Permanent Five members, P5, are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.  Each of the permanent members has power to veto, enabling them to prevent the adoption of any "substantive" draft Council resolution, regardless of the level of international support for the draft. 

All substantive United States' resolutions are null and void by design.--And so after reviewing over 70 years of poor performance of the U.N., do we now give up U.S. control of our Internet and all set a direction to march collectively into the global future??

Another Blow for Internet Freedom - ICCAN

STFU! Moscow Controls Internet Speech

STFU! ...Oops! BTW, it's not the acronym for the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union founded in 1934, LOL! President Vladimir Putin just signed into law to restrict the use of profanity to reinforce what the Kremlin calls traditional values in Russia. This line item is contained within their Internet bill to tighten controls over speech and the Internet.  

Bloggers with more than 3,000 daily page views will be subject to hefty fines for profanity beginning in August, 2114. The laws do not define what the 'foul language' is which leaves the totalitarian Putin regime wide latitudes in levying restrictions, incarcerations and fines.

Obama recently signed an executive order transferring in 2015 the United States based management of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) controls over to the United Nations body and a yet "unnamed group of people" as an international board legislating regulations of the who, what, why and when on how the World Wide Web, WWW, runs on the Internet.

Are those international panel members that will administrate the proposed 'United Nations ICANN Organization' oversight going to be all inclusive with like-minded thinkers as in Russia? If so, we are in "Deep SH*T" since this is to be the case. Then, look out for them levying onerous user financial burdens like punishing excesses of access fees, service rates and government licenses.

Look out for the ICANN panel members' stringent U.N. Internet guidelines to curb free expression and discourse.  This will all emanate from those freedom loving "civil rights advocate nations" like China, Myanmar, Iran, Albania, Cambodia, etc.--only kidding, but sadly it is the cold harsh fact!
