RIP Internet, Ron Paul’s Stern Warning

Posted by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in News,


Ron Paul called upon American’s to stand up against the federal government to take back the internet after the FCC passed the ‘net neutrality’ bill, effectively placing the internet under the governments control.

Ron Paul posted the following on his Facebook Page:

Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a non-elected federal government agency, voted three-to-two to reclassify broadband Internet as a common carrier service under Title II of the Communications Act. This means that – without the vote of Congress, the peoples’ branch of government – a federal agency now claims the power to regulate the Internet. I am surprised that even among civil liberties groups some claim the federal government increasing regulation of the Internet somehow increases our freedom and liberty.

The truth is very different. The adoption of these FCC rules on the Internet represents the largest regulatory power grab in recent history. The FCC’s newly adopted rule takes the most dynamic means of communication and imposes the regulatory structure designed for public utilities. Federal regulation could also open the door to de facto censorship of ideas perceived as threatening to the political class – ideas like the troops should be brought home, the PATRIOT Act should be repealed, military spending and corporate welfare should be cut, and the Federal Reserve should be audited and ended.

The one bright spot in this otherwise disastrous move is that federal regulations making it more difficult to use the Internet will cause more Americans to join our movement for liberty, peace, and prosperity. The federal government should keep its hands off of the Internet!

I find this disturbing and think that what happened in the USA yesterday will happen soon in the rest of the world.
I've read somewhere that it is possible to set up your own internet but I haven't a clue how it is possible.

TPTB have their way again, it appears on the most important issues nothing can stop them. It seems they banned the internet slow lanes, but that might have been a smoke screen

I think they started this movement in 2003 .. with a thing called Google.

As a search engine it can filter out anything they are directed to do. And they have been since.

If you want control fee internet use a TOR browser.

Straight from the playbook. Scare Joe Public with one threat to shoo them straight into the pen of another. If you find yourself facing what seems to be an either/or choice, look for an alternative route.
