USA INTERNET SURRENDER DAYS AWAY... Why is there not outrage???

[p238shooter]

O has to do all he can do to finish us off as quick as he can and give the UN jurisdiction to everything in the US as he can, such as our internet. He is not done yet. I think it is in the plan for O to be one of our next SCJOTUS justices or head of the UN to keep hammering for one world order.

We'll just have to start over in this country. We can go back to dial-up and avoid the www altogether.

I see this shift in control of the internet as one more step toward the ultimate control of the people. I think it is premature because we haven't been disarmed yet. Maybe they think by shutting down voices and any corroboration that no united resistance can be formed and we can be picked off one by one.

The smart people will keep or reconnect with land line telephone. They won't be able to shut everything down.

Get yourself a shortwave radio, a C-B set, and anything that can carry on two-way communication. Get a couple AM/FM radios as well.

We are being led down the path to subjugation. Put two and two together, people!

Oh, and if you can, move to the Texas-Oklahoma-Arizona-Nevada area and be among fellow patriots.

There sure is a lot of ignorance in this thread about how the Internet works.

The IANA stewardship transition has been in process for over a decade.

Here's a few links to get a little education on the subject, though I'm sure some folks will call them all "liberal sources" and "DNC talking points":

perhaps but the bottom line is ceding America's control of root for ICANN is essentially making private the entire chain of command for internet naming conventions. infrastructure that initially was pioneered and paid for by US tax payers has now been given away to a private entity.

if said private entity wants to say charge 100x current domain registration fees ... what is to prevent said now completely private entities from doing so?

this is total bull **** America essentially giving away what US taxpayer $$$ funded and pioneered ...

Your sources are unbiased? By that comment, your saying your sources are the way we all should accept any source without any further discussion if posted by you or anybody else using those links?
Any other links that might dispute those links should not be believed because yours are infallible?
Just curious.

Any country can run their own root zone file and require their ISPs to use it.

Any person can run their own root zone file. In fact, that's how some corporate networks limit what you can access externally.

Who or what is to say it will stay that way? Bureaucrats and autocrats have a way of following their dreams of authority and avarice.

Nothing stopped them from jacking prices 100x before, and it didn't happen.
ICANN was private before. They're private now. They'll be private tomorrow.
ICANN ran these administrative functions before. ICANN runs them now.
The Feds didn't pioneer and pay for all of the global network of root servers, did you mean to say something else there?

They've been doing a decent enough job for 18 years. I'm pretty sure they can keep on not screwing it up without jumping through hoops to get a $0.00 federal contract.

perhaps or perhaps not ... having Federal oversight is what keeps our utility bills from skyrocketing in parallel with gasoline/diesel pricing.
when a natural monopoly is present and/or cannot be avoided .. government oversight can be desirable to prevent pricing abuse we the consumer have been subject to without recourse ... like say drug prices going nuts, internet access skyrocketing, etc. etc. etc.

there is now NO federal oversight for ICANN ... which in now in control of root .. a private entity being given the keys to the kingdom for .. zero.. nada.. nothing...

but ah .. you conveniently forget to mention ICANN holds/controls the root translation layer that hooks everything together ..

again ... one of the largest giveaways in history just took place .. a monopoly that runs/controls root for the entire internet. that said monopoly is now in private hands with NO oversight.
