Government seeks to regulate internet because it is a tool of "terrorism"...

Doomsday For The Internet As We Know It?

Paul Joseph Watson/PrisonPlanet.com | February 6 2006

Several developments that are coming to the fore indicate a noticeable advance towards a government regulated, taxed and controlled system that spells doomsday for the Internet as we know it.

The first steps in a move to charge for every e mail sent have already been taken. Under the pretext of eliminating spam, Bill Gates and other industry chieftains have proposed Internet users buy credit stamps which denote how many e mails they will be able to send. This of course is the death knell for political newsletters and mailing lists.

The New York Times reports that "America Online and Yahoo, two of the world's largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered. The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely."

The end game is a system similar to China, whereby no websites even mildly critical of the government will be authorized.

The Pentagon admitted that they would engage in psychological warfare and cyber attacks on 'enemy' Internet websites in an attempt to shut them down. The fact that the NSA surveillance program spied on 5,000 Americans tells us that the enemy is the alternative media and that it will be targeted for elimination. Court cases are pending after the Bush administration demanded the Google search terms of American citizens.

The first wave will simply attempt to price people out of using the conventional Internet and force people over to Internet 2, a state regulated hub where permission will need to be obtained directly from an FCC or government bureau to set up a website.

The original Internet will then be turned into a mass surveillance database and marketing tool. The Nation magazine reported last week, "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets--corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers--would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out."

We see a move to demonize the Internet and tar its reputation. AOL is running ads equating Internet users with terrorists. In the next few years we may see a staged Internet shutdown which is blamed on cyber terrorists.

For the aspiring dictator, the Internet is a dangerous tool that has been seized by the enemy. We have come a long way since 1969, when the ARPANET was created solely for US government use. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate the world under a global surveillance panopticon prison.

Why I don't find this surprising, I do find PrisonPlanet to be a gossip talk website.

Even if it is gossip, i do find it very wierd the amount of adverts on the tele and bilboards about freedom of speech, and whether the internet is a good or a bad thing, you know those AOL adverts? whats up with that all of a sudden?

If they regulate the internet I will stop pleasuring myself. It would be extremely hard to regulate it because every country in the world has different excepted standards and different laws.

And you can't control something that doesn't exist as a whole you know?

You cannot take down every service in the nation, some people have their own services, there is no way that EVERY dial up connecting service, ever DSL service, ever WiFi service, EVERY cable service, satellite service, will just go down.

thats what i love about the internet....its like a cross section of the psyche of every person on the planet.

just another way for the corporate world to make money, what a surprise!

Fuck the po-lice.

uguys dont need to worry, as long as theres people like me in this world something like that is impossible to happen. but more like, if it were to happen, it wouldnt stay like that
but i myself dont care that much about emails inever use em i us IM

talking to my coworkers at the water cooler is a potential tool of terrorism too. they should shut down the water cooler, maybe that will keep us from talking.

Too many people are addicted to the web for them to take it away now. What we would most likely see is a revolution led by millions of AOL-Jerry's Kids.

(((((((Say Wha?)))))))

Ain't no homie bithces gonna shut down my aol chat!

Hey you guys know that big building... yeah the tall one well im gonna blow the fucker up anyone wanna help?
OOPS

I'm addicted to DSL.

Good post, very informative.

It sounds credible as well that this is in the works. I wondered when this would start to happen.

Fun post but I don't think we really have too much to be afraid of. I can't imagine it coming down to having to pay per email, that would be disgusting, although I have heard the same thing before.

This crap has been flying around for years...

well this is half truth... they have come up with using these so called stamps in e-mails... but it's not for the user to buy... it's for companies to buy... so when they send you an email you know for sure it's them and not some scammer... example... let's say AOL is your ISP and one day you get a message saying it is aol and they need all this account info vertified... it all seems legit but you don't know for sure so you just delete it... a day later you internet doesnt work, you call AOL and they confirn that email you deleted as being from them and you just didnt respond in the alotted time... now with these stamps when you get that AOL email there will be a stamp on it showing that it is real(it can't be duplicated by anybody else) so you can have no fear in replying... i hope i cleared this up a little bit
