US to Give Away The Internet?

More and more people now believe that Mr. Obama is the most feckless president since Carter. They’re right. Carter gave away the Panama Canal (China now owns both sides of the Panama Canal), and now Obama is dead set on giving away any US oversight of the internet.

The internet was an American development, it was a logical extension of a US military communications web, and since 1998 the management of domain names, etc., has been by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) under contract to the US Commerce Department.

Obama is determined that in the fall of 2015, when the U.S. Department of Commerce’s contract with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) expires, all remaining American authority over World Wide Web addresses and domain names will cease. This will herald an end to U.S. influence over this world-changing American innovation.

The only possible American governmental control over ICANN in a little over a year and a half will be the fact that the non-profit is physically located in California, and thus subject to tax rules and other laws. Even though ICANN is now located in California, it is likely that it soon will become an adjunct of the United Nations. Taxing of the internet and censorship are certainly soon to follow.

The Obama Administration is making this radical move so as to try to appease critics of NSA spying and ease those with fears that the Obama Administration cannot be trusted to not abuse any authority it has over the Internet. Most of the world does not now trust us, and they have good reason. Obama has repeatedly proven that he is not a man of his word.


Freeing ICANN from U.S. control will ultimately result in less liberty, not more.

Like the Declaration of Independence, birthed in America and which acknowledged the God-given rights that every human deserves, the World Wide Web is a 21st century declaration of the importance of freedom and access to information — regardless of where people reside.

Permitting the people who oppose this freedom to gain the ability to silence free and unfettered discourse and the quest for knowledge on the internet is deplorable. Let’s hope that Congress can prevent Obama from bastardizing the web.

I truly believe Obama hates our country and wants to do anything and everything he can to destroy it.
