A Trigger or A Switch? Which is it?

The U.S. Government must have the ability to turn off all non-military Internet access while allowing U.S. Governmental Agencies unfettered use that would prevent terrorists from communicating during any assault or so that scenario alleges. As Obama puts it, he wants to have the "trigger" to pull if the United States has another "terrorist attack" and also he adds "other national disasters", disasters not defined as yet by statue, law or actual prior experiences. Obama further offers that it would be restricted and solely used for those purposes only.

This overreaching policy change to our free speech rights through Internet access was floated yesterday at a White House press with little fanfare. So typical of the voluminous Obama babble that constantly flows out of the White House, it almost got missed and is being proposed as an amendment to some bill. What does it really mean?

I believe that it means the end to Free Speech on the Internet for any persons considered by the U.S. Government as terrorists, i.e., persons disagreeing with political figures, persons advocating protests against government ideas, persons blogging anti-government sentiments, persons organizing movements to inspire others to support their positions, persons disseminating educational information to the general population, ad infinitum. Man, those persons sound like American Citizens who enjoy their Freedom of Speech, not terrorists.

The United States has not been attacked since 9/11. If Obama feels that his plans to protect the United States from Terrorism is better than his predecessor, then why does he need this extraordinary measure? Sounds a lot more like his scare mongering again for the $787 Billion Stimulus Package for Obama's Depression to take over private industry.

Now, Obama wants to tramp on Free Speech Rights to control the Internet that the President has no Executive Powers over by any Federally mandated laws at this time. Does Obama want a "Trigger" or does Obama want a "Switch" to turn the Internet off and on at his will? Hmmn..........
