The Internet Must Remain Free

By Chuck Baldwin

The Internet is abuzz with news that a US Senate committee has approved a

bill that apparently gives the President authority to shut down the

Internet. According to TechWorld.com, "A US Senate committee has approved a

wide-ranging cybersecurity bill that some critics have suggested would give

the US president the authority to shut down parts of the Internet during a

cyberattack."

 

The report continues by saying, "The bill, introduced earlier this month [by

Senators Joe Lieberman, I-Connecticut, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Thomas

Carper, D-Delaware], would establish a White House Office for Cyberspace

Policy and a National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications, which

would work with private US companies to create cybersecurity requirements

for the electric grid, telecommunications networks and other critical

infrastructure."

A PrisonPlanet.com report says this about the bill: "President Obama will be

handed the power to shut down the Internet for at least four months without

Congressional oversight if the Senate votes for the infamous Internet 'kill

switch' bill, which was approved by a key Senate committee yesterday [June

24] and now moves to the floor.

 

"The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, which is being pushed

hard by Senator Joe Lieberman, would hand absolute power to the federal

government to close down networks, and block incoming Internet traffic from

certain countries under a declared national emergency.

 

"Despite the Center for Democracy and Technology and 23 other privacy and

technology organizations sending letters to Lieberman and other backers of

the bill expressing concerns that the legislation could be used to stifle

free speech, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee

passed the bill in advance of a vote on the Senate floor."

 

The report continued by saying, "Fears that the legislation is aimed at

bringing the Internet under the regulatory power of the U.S. government in

an offensive against free speech were heightened further on Sunday, when

Lieberman revealed that the plan was to mimic [communist] China's policies

of policing the web with censorship and coercion.

 

"'Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in

case of war and we need to have that here too,' Lieberman told CNN's Candy

Crowley.

 

"While media and public attention is overwhelmingly focused on the BP oil

spill, the establishment is quietly preparing the framework that will allow

Obama, or indeed any President who follows him, to bring down a

technological iron curtain that will give the government a foot in the door

on seizing complete control over the Internet."

Of course, pro-family groups have long lobbied Washington lawmakers to pass

regulations restricting objectionable material on the Internet. But Senator

Lieberman's bill does more than restrict content on the Internet; it gives

the federal government the power to completely shut it down.

 

My friends, if you have any love for liberty left in your heart, one thing

is critical: the Internet must remain free--absolutely, totally unrestricted

and free.

 

I realize that many upstanding, well-intentioned people believe that the

federal government should restrict the content of the Internet. But

Lieberman's bill should provide ample warning for anyone who believes that

the federal government can be trusted with ANY authority it is granted

beyond that which is rightly ascribed to it via the US Constitution. Plus,

given the propensities of the federal government these days, how long before

the definition of "objectionable content" includes your freedom of speech

and mine? In plain language, the federal government has no business

restricting anything that the Constitution does not permit it to. If we cede

the authority to restrict and regulate the content of the Internet to the

federal government, we are also ceding to it the power to completely shut

down the Internet. And this is exactly what Lieberman's bill does.

 

The fact is, the Internet is the last bastion of free and unfiltered news

and information. And, yes, I understand that there is much misinformation on

the Internet. But that is the price of freedom. The individual must be given

the liberty to discern right from wrong for himself. As a Christian, I

believe this is why God provided the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit.

And I for one do not need the federal government to try and replace either.

And as far as objectionable material being available to children is

concerned, this is what parents are for! Good grief! It is bad enough that

the federal government has turned into Big Brother; are we going to allow it

to become Big Momma and Big Daddy as well?

 

Ladies and gentlemen, it is essential that the free flow of information be

allowed to continue over the Internet. The major news media is a finely

filtered, tightly controlled medium that works harder at blocking news and

information than it does at delivering it. Virtually every major television

and radio network, along with the nation's major newspapers, is an equal

opportunity news-suppressor.

 

Just ask yourself, what would you have known regarding the MIAC report in

Missouri had it not been for the Internet? What would you have known about

the fiasco in Hardin, Montana, had it not been for the Internet? What would

you know about the NAFTA superhighway without the Internet? If not for the

Internet, would you ever have learned about the CFR's plans for a North

American Community? Where would the Tea Parties be today without the

Internet? Where would Ron Paul's campaign in 2008 have been without the

Internet? Virtually everything you've learned regarding the State

sovereignty momentum that continues to build across this country you've

learned from the Internet. Except for a few courageous independent radio

talk show hosts, and newspaper and magazine publishers, the vast majority of

extremely relevant and critical information relative to freedom is gleaned

from the Internet--not to mention the speed with which news and information

is able to travel, thanks to the Internet.

 

It is no hyperbole to suggest that the Internet is the modern patriots'

version of the colonists' Committees of Correspondence that sounded the

clarion call for liberty and independence at the time of America's founding.

And now, power-mad elitists in Washington, D.C., are attempting to provide

the federal government with the power and authority to shut it down at will.

 

What is even more disturbing is the way that private companies and special

interest groups are willing to prostitute themselves before the federal

government in order to get their own "piece of the pie." Think of it: just

about every freedom-grabbing, Big-Government action taken by these modern

Machiavellians in Washington, D.C., is facilitated by willing CEOs from Big

Business. They gladly assist Big Brother when he wants to spy on us, read

our emails, listen to our phone calls, etc. They happily help Big Brother

when he wants to eavesdrop inside our homes, examine our financial records,

or snoop on our private lives. When Big Brother says, "Jump!" they ask, "How

high?"  Then--like these hypocrites in Washington, D.C.--they have the

audacity to wave the flag on Independence Day and shout, "America: the land

of the free!" As if they are blameless in freedom's demise.

 

Mark it down: if the federal government ever shuts down the Internet, it

will be business as usual for Washington, D.C., and its fellow travelers in

Big Business; but We the People will be out of business, and so will

freedom. Regardless of what side of any issue you and I may come from, it is

critical that the Internet remains absolutely and totally free.
