S. 773: Cybersecurity Act of 2009. Executive authority to ?shut down the Internet?
 

What do you think about S. 773: Cybersecurity Act of 2009? which gives the president executive authority to ?shut down the Internet? in the event of a declared "cyber security emergency"


Wasn't aware of this bill til just now when a sponsor included a link to
http://www.thefreedomfactory.us/stop...y-act-of-2009/ in their email.

that sounds crazy...

just making something legal that they'd do anyway, if required

Very dangerous territory for Rockefeller and Snowe. But it doesn't surprise me one bit. The internet scares them because they can't control it. Won't be long before it all blows up in their face.

I hate the Rockefellers... they should all be eliminated and this world would be safer already.

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

better be careful, someone is going to call you a tin head :upsidedow

I read the entire thing twice and missed the part that would give them the right to actually shut down the internet.

Anyone care to copy and paste it for me? I don't want to read it again.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 introduced in the Senate would allow the president to shut down private Internet networks. The legislation also calls for the government to have the authority to demand security data from private networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access.

Rockefeller saying our masters should have never given us the internet.

That would be like shutting down telephone service.

I have a dumb question,,, How would they shut down the internet?

like 2 seconds after that he says "that would be a stupid thing to say"

well they have these splitters , in all the major hubs that work basically like a cable splitter, i imagine they just turn them off.

hmm they just enjoy to fuck us

In 2003 AT&T built "secret rooms" hidden deep in the bowels of its central offices in various cities, housing computer gear for a government spy operation which taps into the company's popular WorldNet service and the entire internet. These installations enable the government to look at every individual message on the internet and analyze exactly what people are doing. Documents showing the hardwire installation in San Francisco suggest that there are similar locations being installed in numerous other cities.

The physical arrangement, the timing of its construction, the government-imposed secrecy surrounding it, and other factors all strongly suggest that its origins are rooted in the Defense Department's Total Information Awareness (TIA) program which brought forth vigorous protests from defenders of constitutionally protected civil liberties last year

Cool Thanks, thats some scary shit....

Another "Cut-In and Test Procedure" document dated January 24, 2003, provides diagrams of how AT&T Core Network circuits were to be run through the "splitter" cabinet (PDF 7). One page lists the circuit IDs of key Peering Links which were "cut-in" in February 2003 (PDF 8), including ConXion, Verio, XO, Genuity, Qwest, PAIX, Allegiance, AboveNet, Global Crossing, C&W, UUNET, Level 3, Sprint, Telia, PSINet and Mae West. By the way, Mae West is one of two key internet nodal points in the United States (the other, Mae East, is in Vienna, Virginia). It's not just WorldNet customers who are being spied on -- it's the entire internet.
