Legislation is in the making to give the White House the power to flip a switch and close down the Internet. The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 would give authority to Obama to shut down all or part of the internet after declaring a cybersecurity emergency. Furthermore, all aspects of connectivity, file transfers, and database storage would be completely open to government investigation and confiscation without a court order. Once this is tied to Hate Crimes law the security of the internet can be said to be in danger by select websites running articles and commentary on certain political or religious views. This is the latest tactic of the Obama regime to nationalize the print media, and then take control of all public communication everywhere.
While the Church may not see the fruition of this rapacious seizure of the First Amendment, Christians should be preparing for the inevitable encroachments along the way. Those with technical skills might look into developing stand-alone servers, and perhaps wireless delivery, and alternative hypertext protocols and URL’s. In the long run, shortwave radio may be the last bastion of a free press. The advantages of broadcasting by shortwave include no traceability of listeners receiving the broadcasts, world wide range, portability of receivers and low costs. Because of its low technological profile, it will probably be the last thing the government targets for complete censor. Roger that?
