Internet Censorship, “Cyber Terrorism”, AT&T Wiretapping and the Rockefellers, Cybersecurity: Connecting the Dots
Originally this post was going to be centered around the “Cyber Terrorism” hype that is going on around the world these days and somehow the Rockerfellers popped into this post. It’s kind of hard to report on anything these days without the name being involved.
Apparently the BBC is reporting similar stories:
The threat posed by cyber-terrorism has been overhyped and the net is unlikely to become a launch pad for terror attacks.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2850541.stm
It all started when I was watching CNN today and I hear the mention of the growing problem of Cyber Terror and how it’s so out of control that today Washington is meeting to discuss someone who would be appointed as the “Cyber Czar” to combat this growing problem. Together with the Department of Homeland Security, they would rid the world of this horrible problem that is threatening our “National Security”. I cringed a bit and wondered if Eric Holder, Obama’s choice for Attorney General would be the appointed czar.
Watch Eric Holder in action, a true fan of internet censorship, below are his words:
“The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at.” - May 28, 1999 NPR Morning Edition

The Rockefellar Family Part I
While researching the status of Cyber Terrorism in the world, I kept running across articles and text with the Rockefeller family name on it. Apparently now the Rockefeller family wants to protect us. Great-grandson of oil tycoon John D.Rockerfeller and Nephew of banker David Rockefeller, Senator John Davison “Jay” Rockefeller IV (http://www.congress.org/bio/id/623) has been introducing bills in congress that are in his family’s interest.
Partners In the War On Terror
Telecommunications Firms And the Senate’s FISA Bill
Here Jay Rockefeller states:
“Let’s be clear. First, there is no automatic amnesty. All Americans, including corporate citizens, must follow the law and be held accountable for their actions. The bill authorizes case-by-case review in the courts only when the attorney general certifies that a company’s actions were based on assurances of legality, and the court is specifically required to determine whether the attorney general abused his discretion before immunity can be granted. ” – washington post
Interesting that these words are coming out of his mouth since David Rockefeller’s company was involved in AT&T wiretapping suit which was dismissed.

Did you know that October 2008 was National Cyber Security Awareness Month? Apparently on September 30th Jay Rockefeller was making sure that the Senate supported this:

Also, the Protecting Children from Indecent Programming Act (Reported in Senate) – John Mccain jumped in on this one as well. Again, the same bait and switch, the promise of “Protection” and more regulation in exchange for more of our freedoms.
This bill states:
“To require the FCC, in enforcing its regulations concerning the broadcast of indecent programming, to maintain a policy that a single word or image may be considered indecent“!!.

More Censorship set up to create more big government and big brother in our lives. They have even created the National Cybersecurity Division http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/editorial_0839.shtm and The Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center http://www.msisac.org which shows a cyber alert level – Are you freaking kidding me!!!! No wonder since this department is associated with the Department of Homeland Security. There is also the Cyber Security Industry Alliance http://www.csialliance.org/ who is working together with the other aforementioned agencies, to fight cyber crime. Members include IBM and Semantic, nothing like the marriage of big corporations and government to take care of us.
