All of my fellow internet news junkies need to perk up your ears, sit up, and take notice.  The professional bozos (not just your average, amateur bozos) at the United Nations are deep into discussions about regulating the Worldwide Web.  And ,our very own Government, under the leadership of President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) has undertaken a  holy jihad, err, I mean mission, to regulate online news and information content.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A., Komrades!

The official line from the UN is that they are:

…considering whether to set up an inter-governmental working group to harmonize global efforts by policy makers to regulate the Internet.

The U.N. is using the excuse of the WikiLeaks debacle to attempt to form a group among world governments that would “attempt to create global standards for policing the Internet.”

According to Australia’s iTnews, the meeting delegate from Brazil, which is pushing the proposal, the plan isn’t to take over the Web.

Uh huh. Remember, this is the same bunch who has North Korea on their Human Rights Committee.

So, while the UN is trying to figure out how to take over the Web, our own bunch of Marxists within Obama’s Administration, the Federal Communications Commission, will vote on net neutrality today, December 21. This will allow the Obama Administration to dictate how Internet service providers handle the traffic that flows over their infrastructure.

The fact that this policy would violate free speech and property rights does not seem to bother Obama and his minions at all.

After all, it’s for our own good.

According to Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican from Michigan who is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet,FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s push for the passage of net neutrality gives “the federal government control over all aspects of the Internet.”

Gee, DiNozzo. Ya think?

Rogers has awakened to complains that today’s vote is poorly timed and gives “Congress and the public little time to review a regulation that will ultimately impact one-sixth of the nation’s economy.”

This is S.O.P. for the Obama Administration.

Another Michigan Republican and the incoming chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Fred Upton, has written a letter to the FCC requesting asking it “to cease and desist” in its effort to regulate the Web, which it “does not have authority” to do.

Who is FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski?

He is a longtime Obama friend and a top 2008 campaign fundraiser.

He urged Obama to harness the power of the Internet in the 2008 presidential campaign, which the candidate did in unprecedented ways that will seriously affect future political campaigns. As head of the Obama campaign’s technology-policy advisers group, he supported an open Internet and the creation of a nationwide network of wireless emergency contacts.

During his first two years on the job, Genachowski has addressed the creation of a national broadband strategy and, now, net neutrality.

According to excerpts from his opening statement for Tuesday’s meeting, which were supplied by the chairman’s office Monday night to broadcastingcable.com, Genachowski said that the choice was between doing nothing and

…a set of detailed and rigid regulations….I reject both extremes in favor of a strong and sensible framework – one that protects Internet freedom and openness and promotes robust innovation and investment.

We’re adopting a framework that will increase certainty for businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs. We’re taking an approach that will help foster a cycle of massive investment, innovation and consumer demand both at the edge and in the core of our broadband networks.

[T]hese rules fulfill many promises, including a promise to the future. A promise to the companies that don’t yet exist, the entrepreneurs that haven’t yet started work in the dorm rooms or garages.

Genachowski is supposed to cite some of the net neutrality fans who support the move, including the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, the Center for Democracy and Technology, and the Communications Workers of America.

• The Consumer Federation for America (CFA) was founded in 1968, based in Washington, DC.  It describes itself as an “advocacy, research, education, and service organization” on issues affecting consumers and “looks out for those who have the greatest needs, especially the least affluent.” CFA’s membership comprises approximately 280 nonprofit consumer organizations from around the U.S.  It receives its funding from unions and corporations, especially the Rockefeller Foundation.   Per activistcash.com, in the year between 1999-2000, CFA received $266,700 From George Soros’ Open Society Institute.
• The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) is a 501(c) “non-profit public policy organization dedicated to promoting the democratic potential of today’s open, decentralized global Internet,” per its website. CDT’s stated mission is “to conceptualize, develop, and implement public policies to preserve and enhance free expression, privacy, open access, and other democratic values in the new and increasingly integrated communications medium.” It was founded in 1994 by Jonah Seiger who also served as its Communications Director.  Per Forbes.com, George Soros gave the Center $300,000 this year.
• Communication Workers of America (CWA) is the largest telecommunications union in the world and represents over 700,000 men and women in both private and public sectors, including over half a million workers who are building the Information Highway.CWA was founded in 1938 at meetings in Chicago and New Orleans. First known as the National Federation of Telephone Workers, the union became the Communications Workers of America in 1947.   The CWA is aligned with the Communist ideology-driven Working Families Party and the SEIU, who are in turn aligned with, you guessed it, George Soros.

You know, if I were the paranoid type, I would see some sort of conspiracy behind this push to control the Web.

Nah, couldn’t be.  Hey, what’s that black helicopter doing hovering over my roof?
