Obama On Net Neutrality And Security

more at http://www.theuptake.org
President Obama said he was committed to net neutrality and not monitoring speech on the internet. But he wants the US to develop a prevention and response plan to cyberattacks from terrorists and prevent internet criminals. Obama said internet thieves stole more than $1 Trillion dollars worldwide last year.

Problem, Reaction, Solution. Another False Flag Attack brought to you by your friendly neighborhood U.S. Shadow Government. Just like 9/11 another Operation NorthWoods for the NET now. They are taking away our Freedom People. The NET is supposed to be and stay neutral according to treaties. WAKE UP!!!

Obama is NOT PROTECTING Net Neutrality and he wants to Restrict the Internet and wants only the Richest Corporations to have Ownership and Control of the Internet and what Information is seen by the public..

weapons of mass distruption LoL.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Cybersecurity? Oh yes shutting down Christian and tea party websites because are "terrorists" under the "Patriot Act". Oh and don't criticize Chirman O.

[ladyshondra]

transparency??? yeah right, secret closed meetings excluding press and republican. he wants control in case of a 'crisis' and they are good at creating a crisis. you can bet that george soros and his mulit owned media groups are in the shadows as they like to be yet in control.

[fortsmith1]

Leave the internet alone. Vote the liberals out.

[UB3R31337]

Internet2 = the end of free speech on the internet, dont make the change when it comes. The powers that be are planning to stage a widespread cyberterror attack to scare you into making the switch.

[docjor]

OMFG this has to be stopped, Cybersecurity act *sponsored by News corporation*

and I LOVE how he goes on about PROTECTING our Liberties HAH, why is the warrentless wiretapping then HUH?!

Like they say you give an inch and it wont be long before they take a MILE.

[DisintersGroup]

he did prmoise change but no one said it was good. cybersecurity is the new arm of the policestate

[ProConstitutioner]

barrack husein obama wants to shut down the internet. Do not fall for his lies, and deception.

[NCMan28025]

Sad but true. Attacking citizens who protest and show their dissent is an attack on free speech. Attacking Fox is an attack on free speech. Now we have Barry wanting to take over the internet and its just another attack on free speech.

[pillageNplunder1]

This guy needs a swift kick in the ass.

[RisefromyourGRAVE]

oh shit. If this goes down in America Europe will follow. I know hacking is a crime and all but a lot of their government "attacks" are from people who are just curious and don't have malicious intent. The kind of information that should be public anyway and yet they keep it under lock and key. But it costs less money to pass a law then to keep ahead in technology i suppose

[2SmashFu]

No Obama.

No.

[aces9876]

Georgia attacked Ossetia first.

Just wanted to let you know.

Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch).

[smokelie]

SomeBody KiLL KERMIT!!!!

[SelanofStelan]

What about the banker criminals????

[SelanofStelan]

Dont forget the TRUTH being spread at light speed!!!

[NYredwhiteandblue]

exactly....

[GaGirlie777]

I have a hunch about who was behind this "cyber" crime these last few years. They have to create a crisis to pass what they want so we will go along.

[GaGirlie777]

yeah....he's better than Bush at pulling the wool over our eyes.

[brabon1]

ya....you stick to your guns

dont let the man tell you what to do

[brabon1]

good

doesnt change the fact that you know nothing about the internet

guess what...it is not made up of a bunch of tubes
