Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.

They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.

The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

What a shame. Somebody in congress read the Left Behind series and saw how the web was used by the Christian underground and figured they had better find a way to stop it.

That is what I thought of when I read the article, the government seems
to be moving to limit or stop people from communicating with each other.

If people don't really get what is going on in this country, they will all wake up one day to find that their freedoms have been taken away one by one.

Oh yeah it's definitely the blind leading the blind and both falling into the ditch syndrome!! What in the heck is going on with this world??!! It is sooo upside-down. I mean we really know WHY clearly, but actually seeing it all take place is just plain wild.

No matter what we may face in the days, months, or years ahead, do not ever take your eyes off the TRUE GOD and His Word. Follow Him no matter what the cost. Love Him with all your heart, your soul, and your mind and rest in Him thru thick & thin. Wow, just felt it was important to say that right now. So there's your peptalk for tonight!!

While there may be some debate over the exact words, the above by GH brought this poem by Martin Niemoeller to mind:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Google Martin Niemoeller if you want more information.

Re: Bill would give president emergency control of Internet

I always remember that one too John and there are so many similarities today in relation to that period of time re: propaganda and the media.

Earlier this morning I was rereading some articles on Hitler's propaganda machine, thinking it interesting how the Jewish people were blamed for the woes of the time and is it any different today, as in that the world view of today there will only be peace if they give the Palestinians back "their land".........and this propaganda it is working, even among the Jewish people.

It is all propaganda as this never was anyone's land but the land to whom it was given by God..........Israel's and it is no one's land but God's to give.

Ezekiel 11
16Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.

17Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.


Propaganda

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

Propaganda is communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

Why stand up for something when influenced by propaganda to believe something is other than it is (world view which has also infiltered many churches)! Proaganda works.....and it is working today!....otherwise, more would be speaking out in favour of Israel.

Thank you for posting that poem. I was talking to a friend yesterday and couldn't remember the words then so I'm emailing it to her.

Re: Bill would give president emergency control of Internet

It will only take an emergency for all this to happen and as deceitful as they are, they can make one happen just to take over. It's true the want to shut us out and prevent us from speaking with each other on the internet. And also monitor what kind of comments we are making, out freedom going right down the tubes. Christians will be among the first to go and then conservatives.

It's scary but it makes me all the more rejoice because I know Christ is coming soon as the signs are growing stronger and the birth pangs are getting louder and closer together..
