Obama gives himself control of all communication systems in America — RT

US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security.

(continues)

On the government’s official website for the National Communications Systems, the government explains that that “infrastructure includes wireline, wireless, satellite, cable, and broadcasting, and provides the transport networks that support the Internet and other key information systems,” suggesting that the president has indeed effectively just allowed himself to control the country’s Internet access.

In order to allow the White House to reach anyone within the US, the president has put forth a plan to establish a high-level committee calling from agents with the Department of Homeland Security, Pentagon, Federal Communications Commission and other government divisions to ensure that his new executive order can be implemented.

In explaining the order, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) writes that the president has authorized the DHS "the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications."

this???

The Secretary of Commerce shall...

develop plans and procedures concerning radio spectrum allocations, assignments, and priorities for use by agencies and executive offices;

(e) develop, maintain, and publish policies, plans, and procedures for the management and use of radio frequency assignments, including the authority to amend, modify, or revoke such assignments, in those parts of the electromagnetic spectrum assigned to the Federal Government; and

(f) administer a system of radio spectrum priorities for those spectrum-dependent telecommunications resources belonging to and operated by the Federal Government and certify or approve such radio spectrum priorities, including the resolution of conflicts in or among such radio spectrum priorities during a crisis or emergency.

They already do that. Non issue.

It's OK, we can trust government at all times.

It's about power we give the gov't, maybe it'll get used, maybe it won't.

Nothing new about this, it has been the law since the government invented the idea that they can sell radio frequencies.

what part of this wording has you all wetting your pants?

 

[rightwinger]

It's about power we give the gov't, maybe it'll get used, maybe it won't.

Should I be really Skeered or just assume it is another bill that the whackjobs are misinterpreting?

No, since it's Obama signing it, I'd stick with what you usually do, assume it's saving the planet earth from republicans.

Neither. Just another specious attack to further inflame their base. But to be honest didn't the Democrat nutters tried to float the same dumb-shit against President Bush on several of his emergency EOs?

If Obama is signing it must have something to do with socialism or handouts to people who don't earn it

And when Republicans do it it's because their uneducated and Nazi's... right RW? Should we play the game where we compare Obama polices to that of the evil world destroyers that were Bush and the Republican congress?

How many polices did Obama with his Dem congress manage to repeal again?
