If I understand the act correctly, somwhow, bloggers, independent news services that are not controlled by the CIA or the Office of Propaganda, The Ministry of Truth (as we want you to know it) or any of the other government agencies that actively control  the content in MSM are now a threat to national security.

Supposedly, it’s those of us out here who are communicating outside of the prescribed boundaries of propaganda that our government is now fearful of.  Blogging has been deemed a “threat” to national security.

Rumsfeld, before he was canned, claimed that the internet was an “enemy weapons system” and should be closed down.  Of course Rummy viewed anyone outside of the government as an enemy…..and not because of the interent.

Our entire government now views the American citizenry to be potential terrorists and a threat to national security.  You have only to look at the laws that have been passed over the last 20 years to realize that the people our government is most fearful of ……is us.

If this bill passes……..just communicating your ideas, opinions or thoughts to your representative or senator could be considered an act of violence.  Being politically active outside the golden walls of congress could get you labeled a “domestic terrorist”.  Practicing unapproved religions could get you labeled as “undesirable”.  Working for social or political change could net you a special cell at one of the new FEMA camps.

Ultimately, there are laws against the fluffy issues surrounding what this law is supposed to be about.  But, sitting dead in the middle of the contents is the internet.  That’s what they are really after.  As it is, the 1st Amendment protects the internet from our government so a new law with a phony national security threat had to be devised so that the 1st could be breached.
