Soros, Ford shovel $196 million to 'net neutrality' groups, staff to White House

What I see happening is a repeat of obamacare. If you can't afford it, you will get a subsidy, and we the tax payer will be screwed once again. Oh, and notice the limits on data at that pricing. And it being here I would imagine it would be even worse.Those are residential rates.

Here is some pricing from within Canada. OH, what we have to look forward to!

This topic reminds me of Obamacare. They scream they want it, but wait til they see what they really get...

I wonder how long it will take for at least a few to break from the pack...
How many of the supporters actually think they are going to get faster and cheaper internet? Bunch of rubes.

I don't care that much about "cheaper" as long as we see speed commensurate with price. Overall we're one of the slower countries in the industrialized world when it comes to Internet speed. Alberta has new laws extant that all new business buildings must include in their architectural schemes upgradeable fiber/optic Internet access with beau coup speed & bandwidth, just one more big perk attracting American high tech business north of the border. There's so much pork we need to rid ourselves of in this country, and so many communications & infrastructure issues we need to get on soon. I have no doubt America can do anything we set our minds to, we just need to get off the couch and do it.
Good thing you don't care about cheaper because that's not going to happen. How much more does Alberta pay for internet access?


Yeah.....we may have to pay more....but so will all those greedy rich guys.....that's what the libtards say...isn't it....they would rather drag the successful down....than try to lift themselves up.....
 
Liberal philanthropist George Soros and the Ford Foundation have lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” agenda, donating $196 million and landing proponents on the White House staff, according to a new report.

And now, as the Federal Communications Commission nears approving a type of government control over the Internet, the groups are poised to declare victory in the years-long fight, according to the report from MRC Business, an arm of the conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center.

The Ford Foundation, which claims to be the second-largest private foundation in the U.S., and Open Society Foundations, founded by far-left billionaire George Soros, have given more than $196 million to pro-net neutrality groups between 2000 and 2013,” said the report, authored by Media Research Center’s Joseph Rossell, and provided to Secrets.

“These left-wing groups not only impacted the public debate and funded top liberal think tanks from the Center for American Progress to Free Press. They also have direct ties to the White House and regulatory agencies. At least five individuals from these groups have ascended to key positions at the White House and FCC,” said the report which included funding details to pro-net neutrality advocates.

I don't know exactly what the Obama Klown Kar has in mind, but I would bet it will mean a few things:

1 - Internet access will cost paying users (i.e., folks with jobs) more, probably much more
2 - Conservative voices will be muffled, the lunatic left will be given a bullhorn
3. Internet sevices will cost more ($)
4. Website licensing ($)
5. Government approved equipment will be required ($)
6. Quality of service will deteriorate costing websites business ($)

Once again, the farmer (i.e., big government) has frightened the sheep with tales of the Big Bad Wolves, and herded them right into his slaughterhouse.

If this plan to give the federal government control over the internet is so good, why are they refusing to release the details?

So, evil people are doing what one should expect from evil?

Huh... how positively SHOCKING!



It isn't shocking to us....it is apparently not obvious to the obama drones....they are clueless about what is about to happen to the internet..........and those train cars are ready for them to board......

Soooo blind they will not see........and then...when the internet sucks....obama will tell them to blame republicans....and the obama drones will blame republicans......what a bunch of morons......
 
No matter how wrongly evil you imagine net neutrality to be, what Comcast and the other providers are wanting to do is worse. Please educate yourself on this issue from a more neutral source than some cable company bought and paid for bullshit. It's they that want to turn the internet into something other than it already is, it is they who are seeking to make it more expensive and it is they who want to treat different websites differently.
Because government control isn't for sale to the highest bidder right? You fucking moron.

I have no idea what he was even saying. Wait, he is a fucking hack who would gladly suck a dick if a fucking socialist told him he has to.

Fucking liberals are such wastes of time for anyone to have any rational debate with.
You are only against net neutrality because liberal free-speech advocates have come forward to protect it. Remember, we have net neutrality right now, it's the internet you think liberals are trying to change when in fact we are striving to keep it the same. Comcast wants to do all the changing here not liberals. Do you not even wonder what they want to change it to in order to squeeze more profit out of it?

Hmm... So it's a snappy pro-liberty name, like "Center for American Progress" which is comprised of zero Americans and which serves only cultural regression. And the "Affordable Care Act"... which has forced the cost of Medical Insurance and Medical Care THROUGH THE FISCAL ROOF!

Funded and supported by people who have, at each and every point of contact, urged on greater government control, resulting less individual liberty.

SOoooo.... Yeah. It's a scam, perpetrating deceit, advanced through fraudulence, as a means to influence the Internet.

In short, "Net Neutrality" is simply one way of saying: "If you like your internet, you can keep your internet."
 
Yep obamacare (how fitting!) part deuce.

Right?
obama and his crew are SUCH wizards, they built a website which handles a tiny fraction of one percent of that which Amazon handles... for 1.64 BILLION dollars. And still, it struggles to work.

Now, you and I know that they didn't spend anywhere NEAR that to build that site, but that's what they charged us to build it... according to the latest information. Which means that they stole a billion and a half dollars... point being, IF they spent 1.64 Billion to build a website; they're imbeciles and can't be trusted.

IF they did NOT spend that much, but pocketed a billion and a half, they're liars and thieves... and can't be trusted.

The Left knows this, but they feel that it's THEIR TEAM, and the money stolen from THEM will be used FOR and spent ON THEM. Then they jump on the web and rail on about OLIGARCHS and Bush's DEFICITS! Defending all the while those about to strip down their interwebz... touting their TRUST of those about to do it to 'em.

LOL! You cannot hide the idiots.
 
The Kochs are prepared to spend close to $1Billion to promote the GOP in 2016.

what does that have do with OUR INTERNET and not letting the government getting their hands on it, so they regulate, tax, and then tell you what can be said and not said, etc
 
Looks like the Republicans are going to be going along with the Democrats on this. We have been screwed once again. The Republicans are going along with Obama's plan to "Fundamentally Change America" .

I thought this 2014 elected Republican Congress was going to put a stop to Obama's destructive agenda?


WASHINGTON — Senior Republicans conceded on Tuesday that the grueling fight with President Obama over the regulation of Internet service appears over, with the president and an army of Internet activists victorious.

The Federal Communications Commission is expected on Thursday to approve regulating Internet service like a public utility, prohibiting companies from paying for faster lanes on the Internet. While the two Democratic commissioners are negotiating over technical details, they are widely expected to side with the Democratic chairman, Tom Wheeler, against the two Republican commissioners.

And Republicans on Capitol Hill, who once criticized the plan as “Obamacare for the Internet,” now say they are unlikely to pass a legislative response that would undo perhaps the biggest policy shift since the Internet became a reality.

Simple question, do you like and trust your cable company to the point that you would remove the legal framework that holds them to minimum standards of fairness and reliability? If your answer is yes then it means you have not been buttfucked by them yet like so many others have. When you have no place else to go then you will take their erratic billing practices and hostile customer service and like it.
 
No, there is nothing they can do. No matter how upset they are they can do nothing. Obama and his team are in control.

Looks like republicans just learned that they were fighting for an industry that renames customers "****" and "asshole" if they call with complaints.
 
The way I see it. The regulation will go into affect, the rules then disclosed and a group will have to sue the govt for overstepping their bounds, just as happened with regulations the epa has passed. Fortunately, they have been found at fault and several have had to be walked back. In the meantime we will have to live with it, unless they can get a temporary stay until trial.
