Strangling the Internet

STRANGLING THE INTERNET: The only thing that has kept Obama from just shutting the Internet off when it disagrees with him, it appears, is fear. Fear that doing so will create the very revolution he fears most of all. And he’s right. If he shuts off my own access to the Internet, I will be “in the streets” doing what I can (still) to get rid of him. Hosni Mubarak proved it could be done when he pressured Internet suppliers in Egypt to “cut it off.” The same thing CAN happen here. But I think Obama is right; to do so would be the END of him. And I’d be leading the charge if I weren’t too old, and too broken to do so. (Sovereign Man)
