How many of you stupid Obamabots still don’t believe in the New World Order? West Virginia why do you vote for Jay Rockefeller?

A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a “kill switch” to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks — a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late Thursday, months after an initial version authored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerous government intrusion.

“In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the Internet in the case of a ‘cyber-emergency,’ which they didn’t define,” said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry.

“We think it’s a very bad idea … to put in legislation,” he told FOXNews.com.

Clinton said the new version of the bill that surfaced this week is improved from its first draft, but troubling language that was removed was replaced by vague language that could still offer the same powers to the president in case of an emergency.

“The current language is so unclear that we can’t be confident that the changes have actually been made,” he said.

The new legislation allows the president to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” relating to “non-governmental” computer networks and make a plan to respond to the danger, according to an excerpt published online — a broad license that rights experts worry would give the president “amorphous powers” over private users.

“As soon as you’re saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it’s going to be a really big issue,” Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told CNET News.

A Senate source familiar with the bill likened the new power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when he grounded all aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001, CNET News reported.

Spokesmen for Senator Rockefeller and the Commerce Committee did not return calls seeking comment before this article was published.

But Rockefeller, who introduced the bill in April with bipartisan support, said the legislation was critical to protecting everything from water and electricity to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records.

“I know the threats we face,” Rockefeller said in a prepared statement when the legislation was introduced. “Our enemies are real. They are sophisticated, they are determined and they will not rest.”

The bill would also let the government create a detailed set of standards for licensing “cybersecurity professionals” who would oversee a single standard for security measures.

But many in the technology sector believe it’s a job the government is ill-equipped to handle, said Franck Journoud, a policy analyst with the Business Software Alliance.

“Simply put, who has the expertise?” he told FOXNews.com in April. “It’s the industry, not the government. We have a responsibility to increase and improve security. That responsibility cannot be captured in a government standard.”

Clinton, of the Internet Security Alliance, praised President Obama’s May science policy review, which he said would take cybersecurity in the right direction by promoting incentives to get the private industry to improve its own security measures.

But he faulted the Senate bill, which he said would centralize regulations for an industry that is too varied to fall under the control of a single set of rules without endangering the economy and security.

“We think a lot of things need to be done to enhance cybersecurity,” he told FOXNews.com, but this bill is “not something that we could support.”

    ” Leaked e-mail shows how GE puts the government to work for GE
    By: Timothy P. Carney
    Washington Examiner
    August 26, 2009

    “The intersection between GE’s interests and government action is clearer than ever,” General Electric Vice Chairman John G. Rice wrote in an Aug. 19 e-mail to colleagues.

    Rice was calling on his co-workers to join the General Electric Political Action Committee. “GEPAC is an important tool that enables GE employees to collectively help support candidates who share the values and goals of GE.”

    The full letter suggests that “share the values and goals of GE” really means “support policies that profit the company.”

    Steve Milloy, a pro-free market investor at the Free Enterprise Action Fund, obtained this e-mail and says it reveals General Electric for what it really is. “GE is lobbying to become the biggest rent seeker this country has ever seen,” Milloy told this column. Rent seeking is using government legislation or regulation to generate private profits the free market wouldn’t provide.

    “On climate change,” Rice wrote, “we were able to work closely with key authors of the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill, recently passed by the House of Representatives. If this bill is enacted into law it would benefit many GE businesses.”

    Officer Does Not Like anti-Obama Poster:”It ain’t [America] no more, OK?”

  7. kristy

    I think they do see this threat against the United States, however, they have so much hatred and contempt for the USA they play willfully ignorant and koi now they have the opportunity, acting like they cant see.

    because they do see, and they want to see America destroyed. but they dont want to acknowledge that they know so they dont have a finger pointed at them.

    just like that little kid who wants a bike for Christmas, trying to contain their jolly excitement.

    this makes the libterds that much more evil and twisted.

    WHEN CNN WON’T CARRY WATER FOR THE ONE ANYMORE, THE CHARADE IS PRETTY MUCH OVER.

    Why the federal deficit will raise taxes.

    “…Shy of finding a fairy willing to leave trillions under Uncle Sam’s pillow, lawmakers will have to raise taxes and cut spending…

    …President Obama is pledging to keep taxes low for most people…

    …Experts say that’s not going to cut it.

    “Taxes are going up and they’re going up for a lot more people than those making more than $250,000. Why? Math. The numbers don’t come close to working,”…

    “For instance, the president’s proposal to raise taxes only on high-income families would raise an additional $600 billion over 10 years, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

    That’s not a lot when the government is staring at a 10-year deficit of $9 trillion. A 10-year deficit of that magnitude means the debt held by the public — the accumulation of all annual deficits over the decades — would reach 82% of gross domestic product come 2019. That’s double the 41% recorded in 2008.”

    keeping taxes low???

    what a bunch of bullshit!

    how about giving the disabled their guaranteed cost of living increase so they can stay just above poverty level that the bastard said they wont get for two years now???

    not able bodied welfare bunnies, but the disabled workers who EARNED their SSDI by paying into it all their working lives and got injured on the fucken job?

    obastard is a slap in the face plain and simple, no other way anyone can say otherwise. pelosi, clinton “both of them” and all the others are equally to blame.

    they should be so fucking guilty they cant look in the camera eye. but thats how pathetically evil they are.

    what about VA benefits “this dont count fakes like stophate aka deuce who was in the pretend military”. what about the disabled who got hurt at work beyond rehabilitation???

    not ONE fucking word about them except their benefits are being CUT for the first time!

    but keep taxes lower for acorn cocksuckers… fuck them to hell!

    “WE ‘RE ALMOST REACHING A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY”
    Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) at a town hall meeting at Chickasha last wednesday.

    “…government is becoming too big and overreaching its boundaries.

    “People are not buying these concepts that are completely foreign to America,” Inhofe said. “We’re almost reaching a revolution in this country.”"

    dumb cunt on that video just saying “oh I dont understand the financial parts of it, but its health care…”

    I bet that cunt fuck stain never had a relative who was in ICU and a specialist was flown in over night from another state to take care of them!!!

    yeah, thats something else they DONT want you to know about socialized obamacare.

    theres medical lottos. in other words, say you have cancer, you better HOPE your state covers cancer treatment, but then again if it does your state may NOT support staff infection treatment.

    this is just one of many examples.

    now that this was pointed out, watch ALL the oterds flood this area so no one hears about medical lottos in socialist countries :)))

  13. Frosteetoes,

    They already have trucks/cars that can park outside your home, even a mile away and do this already.

  14. live oak

    Yes they do and this bullshit has to STOP!!!!!!

  15. Frosteetoes

    What should I be looking for then? I just go about my day and my usual routines and don’t think too much about it. I even have an Army and Airforce base about 5 miles away from my home.

  16. Frosteetoes

    P.S. I should mention that I live in a fairly rural town considering I live in a heavily congested state.
