***Urgent - Internet To Be Regulated***

Italian president and media baron Silvio Berlusconi said today that he would use his country’s imminent presidency of the G8 group to push for an international agreement to “regulate the internet”.
Speaking to Italian postal workers, Reuters reports Berlusconi said: “The G8 has as its task the regulation of financial markets… I think the next G8 can bring to the table a proposal for a regulation of the internet.”
Italy’s G8 presidency begins on January 1. The role is taken by each of the group’s members in rotation. The holder country is responsible for organising and hosting the G8’s meetings and setting the agenda. Italy’s last G8 presidency in 2001, also under Berlusconi, was marred by riots at the annual meeting in Genoa.
Berlusconi didn’t explain what he meant by “regulate the internet”, but the mere mention of it has prompted dismay among Italian commentators. Berlusconi owns swathes of the Italian mass media.
The left-wing newspaper L’Unita wrote: “You can not say that it is not a disturbing proclamation, given that the only countries in the world where there are filters or restrictions against internet are countries ruled by dictatorial regimes: those between China, Iran, Cuba, Saudi Arabia.”

Here I just
discover the internet and then they want to take it away from me. damn.
Waves of disinfo didn't work....
..neither did making everyone paranoid with the Patriot acts.... I know, let's shut down, regulate or tax the last bastion of free thought!
I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...
I think it would be very
I think it would be very foolish of the elites to do that.
The Internet is the only pressure valve keeping the public from rising up.
If they censor/shut down the Internet and start grabbing guns, it's all over. Civil war will reign.
SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States
That's not true, Kevin...
There is football. And baseball. Don't forget basketball. And hockey is OK, too. Oooooo! Look what's on HBO tonight!
No, Kevin...it might drive you or I over the edge but Obama's plumber is absolutely content as long as there is beer in the fridge and cable/satellite is still functional.
That's where it needs to begin. Uncomfortable people make 'leaders' uncomfortable.
I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...
you are so right
here in Canada hockey is religion and I must admit to be a Vancouver Canucks fan since 1991...yeah they even got me into this...
you guys in the States have more sports to keep you away from the REAL stuff.
Reality they create........mass appeal madness brainwashing.

It can be done
It wouldn't be easy or inexpensive, but it from an engineering standpoint, there's no reason why it couldn't be done.
the really scary part is
that we only have a few weeks to mount a counter campaign to defeat this plan.
January first 2009 we could see all our freedom oriented websites like DailyPaul with a message *this website can't be accessed*
I think Michael Nystrom should post this article on the front page.

they will try and fail

I am not surprised
People are starting to wake up. 2 more years of this freedom and the bohimium crowd is gonna fall.
Watch freedomtofascism.com
I wish Aaron Russo was still with us
he was one of the first people to openly support Ron Paul for president and I discovered Ron watching that great movie you use as your signature.
Yes everyone needs to watch *America Freedom To Fascism*
and perhaps add latest book by Jim Marrs *The Rise Of The Fourth Reich*
God Bless you patriot

Aaron knew too much
Had to go. Russert would always ask tough questions: had to go.
I am thinking the same
cancer....heart problems...George Carlin talking too much about fascism in America...

I am technically challenged but
if it was built once, can't another one be built even, you know, underground?
Does anyone know anything about it?
I love freedom of speech.
I have a bit of training in this area.
While it would be relatively easy to create a "shadow internet" from a software perspective, it would be very difficult to do from a hardware perspective. Our signals would have to use the same avenues (telephone lines, TV cables, satellites, etc) that the internet uses now, unless someone comes up with something else. Those avenues would likely be regulated and monitored in a scenario where the authorities decide to regulate the internet.
There are two better options that I can think of.
First, create an underground ISP (basically, a server that your computer calls up as a gateway to the internet--this is what you're paying for when you subscribe to an internet service) that doesn't obey government censors. While effective, this would be a logistically difficult and very risky option.
Educate yourself about internet security in general, and public key cryptography in particular. Public key cryptography is the Computer Science equivalent of a secret decoder ring that only you and people you trust have. Until the authorities get a very powerful parallel computer running (which would take significant advances in the field of quantum computing), it would be impossible for a third party voyeur (like the government or a hacker) to decode messages sent in this way.
I am going to cut, paste and print
your advice. Thank you!
I have a good friend who will want to get into this with me over Christmas.
cheers to a fellow Canadian freedom fighter
wonderful to be among so many talented activists

good point
perhaps there is a way to create our own patriots internet so we would still have a way to exchange info...

YES
People must have the right to talk to each other and govern themselves. Otherwise we really ARE slaves.
Any nerds hereabouts ?
Plan B - we could always work on telepathy. I hear the Kalahari bushmen and Aborigial people of Australia had it down pat.
or go back to
sending pigeons with attached messages LOL
This is Very alarming
and it comes when the financial collapse is underway + Obama as fascist president of the NWO the biblical antichrist? if he says internet must be regulated the sheep will follow.
