Barack Obama 2012

she had heard on the Alex Jones show today that the president had signed control of the internet to the NSA.

The Internet does not have a single point of control. However a fairly tyrannical, fascist, federal government with diverse and potent tools of power at its disposal can and apparently has been and is continuing to increasingly assume substantial control over several critical elements of the Internet.

Scanning over the returns from searching for "obama cybersecurity executive order", I find that the Democrats support a strong Cybersecurity measure by pointing out the threat to our nations security, as evidenced by Senator Lieberman's words, here.

The Republicans oppose a Cybersecurity bill that imposes "mandates and regulations on the private economy", without also providing "liability protections to allow the private sector and government to better share cyber-threat information", as evidenced by this article in the Wall Street Journal, by McCain, Hutchison and Chambliss.

Joe Wolverton, II, J.D, at The New American has been beating the drums of a threat to our liberty from an take over of the Internet by Obama, as evidenced in these articles: Obama Closer to Seizing Control of Cyberspace; Exec. Order Imminent (Oct 24, 2012) and Is Obama’s Cybersecurity Executive Order Imminent? (Nov 10, 2012). These articles seem to be a major basis of other such articles, such as those on PrisonPlanet.com and InfoWars.com.

Meanwhile, Obama has been:

• Coming off as the compromiser, here and here, while
• Secretly signing, before the election, a Presidential Order involving CyberSecurity within the military, that was later divulged after the election in the Washington Post and the New York Times, and
• Preparing a draft Presidential Order that would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take a very active role in the "CyberSecurity" of systems on the Internet systems which could, if hit by cyberattack, "reasonably result in a debilitating impact” on the country.

In sum, this looks to me like (1) starting a scuffle in the front yard (Democrat vs Republican), while (2) threatening to break down the front door (Wolverton) and (3) at the same time sneaking in the back door to plant some long term threats.

Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to research and cite the same articles I was referring to in my post, and for your very thorough analysis of the agenda these articles are attempting to perform.

I 100% agree in your assessment of the information. This was my first thread, and I must confess that sometimes my posts are not as thorough or articulated as much as I'd prefer...I blame my toddler using me as a jungle jim and primarily using my smartphone to post, lol.

You more than picked up my slack

There may be more to that one that met the eye.

From Boots on the ground: Obama’s cybersecurity directive could allow military deployment within the US (RT.com):

The White House is being asked by attorneys to explain a top-secret presidential policy directive signed last month that may allow for the domestic deployment of the US military for the sake of so-called cybersecurity.

Lawyers with the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) have filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the office of US President Barack Obama in hopes if hearing more about an elusive order signed in secrecy in mid-October but only made public in an article published this week in the Washington Post.

According to persons close to the White House who have seen the order and spoke with the Post, Presidential Policy Directive 20 (PP20) aims to “finalize new rules of engagement that would guide commanders when and how the military can go outside government networks to prevent a cyberattack that could cause significant destruction or casualties.” Attorneys with EPIC are now demanding that they see this secret order to find out what exactly that could mean, citing the possibility of putting boots on the ground in the United States if the government argues it’s imperative for cybersecurity.

In the FOIA request, EPIC attorneys Amie Stepanovich and Ginger McCall ask to see information about PP20 because they fear it may enable “military deployment within the United States” by way of a “secret law” that lets the National Security Agency and Pentagon put armed forces in charge of protecting America’s cyberinfrastructure and crucial routes of communications.

There's more to the article, at the above link.

The U.S. Federal Government is continuing to tighten it's policies to take away the rights and freedoms of the useless eaters (aka "citizens") that dwell there. It is no longer enough to quietly pass legislation in Congress and then have the mainstream media not report on it, but now it is a matter of top secret signed presidential orders.

The administration really seems to be planning for something. Does anyone know what this is???

“We don’t know what’s in this policy directive and we feel the American public has the right to know,” McCall tells Raw Story this week.

On her part, Stepanovich adds that getting to the truth of the matter could be a nightmare given the NSA’s tendency to keep these sorts of things secret.

“The NSA’s cyber security operations have been kept very, very secret, and because of that it has been impossible for the public to react to them,” Stepanovich adds. “[That makes it] very difficult, we believe, for Congress to legislate in this area. It’s in the public’s best interest, from a knowledge perspective and from a legislative perspective, to be made aware of what authority the NSA is being given.”

The potential of martial law became a topic actually discussed by Congress last year when lawmakers first considered provisions for this year’s National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA. Before the House and Senate agreed on including a section to the law letting the White House arrest and detain any US citizen indefinitely without trial or charge, another provision was almost put on the books that would have essentially allowed for military rule during some situations.

The NDAA’s S. 1867 would “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a supporter of the bill, said last year.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H) agreed with his colleague’s claim, telling Congress that “America is part of the battlefield” suggesting that the laws of war are applicable anywhere, even in someone’s own backyard.

EPIC writes that PPD 20 “may violate federal law that prohibits military deployment within the United States without congressional approval” if their worse fear prove correct.

According to the Post’s tale on the directive, the Pentagon now has blueprints to wage more offensive cyberassaults on entities that may be jeopardizing the cybersecurity of domestic computer systems. How they do that, however, remains an issue that the FOIA request will have to coerce from Washington.

If you examine Obama's ascendance to the White House it just doesn't make sense. How does a junior, one-term Senator from Illinois become President? However, if you view it from the context of “bait and switch” it makes perfect sense. Obama appeared to be the perfect antidote to George Bush. He was everything George Bush was not and could never be. However, in reality, he’s probably far worse and for more dangerous. From a strategic standpoint putting Obama in the White House was ingenious!

Shortly, however, the truth will start to come out!

[Mandala]

Or, is it all going according to plan. CIA directive, groom Obama and insert him into the presidency. Isn't this what the elite have planned all along as part of their master plan. Wasn't Obama told in college he would be President of the United States. All they want is someone to stay on course and follow their agenda. If you stray, you will meet the same fate as JFK. So as long as Obama can follow directives, he is safe. If he bucks their system, they seek a replacement. Dirty little secrets.

[Snoweagle]

Obama or ANY national leader governs "jack all".
The US is a Corporation indebted to the Crown just as every other nation registered at the United Nations.
The US is run by military/industrial corporations who provide the script to Obama.
Corporations are forbidden to break the laws, so they change them. Thats why the Senate, Congress, Houise of Representatives, Houses of Parliament etc exist, to house those politicians sympathetic to the corporations needs. Hence that is why the US Constitution has and is being raped before our very eyes.
It is happening everywhere.

Interesting press release from the White House possible Insider movment away from TPTWTB

Equally interesting is the timing of the memorandum’s release: on the Friday morning of the long Thanksgiving weekend, when most media types could be expected to be dozing off their turkey and football binge or lemming after Black Friday shopping stories.

Classic way to bury a key piece of info, I’d say.

Text of White House memorandum:

Posted by WhiteHouse.gov

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES

SUBJECT: National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs

This Presidential Memorandum transmits the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs (Minimum Standards) to provide direction and guidance to promote the development of effective insider threat programs within departments and agencies to deter, detect, and mitigate actions by employees who may represent a threat to national security.

These threats encompass potential espionage, violent acts against the Government or the Nation, and unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including the vast amounts of classified data available on interconnected United States Government computer networks and systems.

The Minimum Standards provide departments and agencies with the minimum elements necessary to establish effective insider threat programs. These elements include

• the capability to gather, integrate, and centrally analyze and respond to key threat-related information;

• monitor employee use of classified networks;

• provide the workforce with insider threat awareness training; and

• protect the civil liberties and privacy of all personnel.

The resulting insider threat capabilities will strengthen the protection of classified information across the executive branch and reinforce our defenses against both adversaries and insiders who misuse their access and endanger our national security.

BARACK OBAMA

Cheers,

Selene

The Obama administration has been pretty dedicated to blacklisting and incarcerating Whistleblowers. This probably represents an attempt to standardize and operationalize a program to "big brother" Executive branch agencies and put the fear of unemployment and jail-time in the minds of all employees who might be even considering leaking information.

It would be nice if it were for some positive agenda. But I'm afraid the track record of the White House since Kennedy was killed has been in the opposite direction. But perhaps it is time for a shift. We will see ... the energy certainly is moving towards a more positive direction overall, as far as the world's population in general is concerned.

[RUSirius]

Most definitely time for a shift, waiting to see.

Hehehe ... that was pretty good ...

Cheeky, standing up there and talking about the moon landing hoax and Roswell when he knows very well what happened.

But when have our glorious leaders ever told us the truth?

[Ki's]

*BURN* hee hee...that was awesome.

I feel for Donald Trump. Obama does not make me laugh - quite the opposite. The smugness just oozes out of him. Obviously pay back time for Donald. Erky perky, just watching all those sweating hyenas in the audience, laughing for their supper, makes my stomach turn.

[deridan]

time to get people to focus on anything but the truth, and make it seem in to do so, unfortuanately a click has to have a humpty boy to take the piss out off,& there was only one there in the reality tv biz

[TargeT]

Uhmmm, so more indoctrination that asking questions on serious issues is a laughable matter?

This was not funny to me at all, this seemed like another stroke from the masters whip; reminding us to toe the line and believe what we are told... subtle indoctrination is still indoctrination.

Another infotainment regurgitant. Seconds anyone?
