GAO report says feds should regulate Internet traffic to cope with overloads.
"Private Internet providers might need government authorization to block popular websites, the report states, or to reduce residential transmission speeds to make way for commerce". "DHS has not developed a strategy to address potential Internet congestion," the report said.
The GAO report also highlights the lack of knowledge about whether the public, other federal agencies, as well as ISP's would co-operate with any directive to regulate the Internet during a pandemic. DHS's Jerald Levine hinted that the feds would be eager to regulate the web and block websites in the event of a pandemic, stating, "An expectation of unlimited Internet access during a pandemic is not realistic."
The agenda to introduce government control and regulation of the Internet has accelerated since President Obama took office.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced by Senators John Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) in April, gives the president the ability to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of national security." The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president, according to a Mother Jones report.

TOTAL 100% BS! I am in the business and I assure you there is plenty of bandwidth available. This is a back door way of shutting down websites like this one.
ReplyDeleteFiltering, just like they do in China and other countries. No need to worry, the dumbed down idiotic sheeple have no clue, as long as they keep espn.com & other entertainment sites open, there will be no repercussions from those idiots.
Note many(a HUGE majority)IT people are NOT going to go along with the filtering, look for new networks and new ideas, coming soon to a network near you!
The below video is a presentation by SONY.
ReplyDeleteIt shows how far technology is advancing. Bear in mind that the elite control most technology including free energy and the like, we just get the hand me downs and table scraps.
In your children's lifetime most of the human species as it is now will cease to exist. This is why Darpa and the Global Information Grid are in full development. A common hive consciousness. Not forced on people but those that refuse it will be treated like zoo animals.
Watch the below video and get an idea how the USA is way behind on the tech curve also:

The easiest way to shut down the internet for most all people would be to kill the 13 root servers, which are the DNS servers (basically phone books of the internet that tie domain names to their IP addresses) that would mean when you try to go to http://thecomingdepression.blogspot.com it will not be able to resolve the name to the IP address, leaving you with a page not found.

My suggestion is to find the IP addresses of any sites that you wish to continue to view
Qwest's backbone alone is more than enough for all concurrent internet users put together.
ReplyDeleteI am a system's admin and I completely agree with 6:39pm that this is just a poor excuse to suddenly black out any websites the FEDS don't agree with.
The internet has for many become the last vestige of true freedom.Information is indeed a very powerful weapon and this site and many others have empowered the man in the street to make informed decisions,but woe to us all should this freedom be denied.
