Goodbye 1st Amendment rights, here comes the United Nations.
Last March, ICANN, the Los Angeles-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, stated it would relinquish control over domain names and other aspects of Internet architecture in favor of a new “global governing” structure that would involve multiple “stakeholders.”
In 2012 Obama signed a UN treaty which effectively banned civilian ownership of firearms, which the UN has characterized as a threat to the “power monopoly” of the state, although we have yet to see actual enforcement of this treaty. So when you as an American wants to put up a pro-gun website and exercise your free speech, we can expect the UN to say “No”, and you will have no recourse but to comply.
Could the United Nations ban gun websites? That’s the fear being expressed by some second amendment advocates after the announcement that control over key aspects of the Internet would be transferred over to the “global community”.Last week it was announced that the Los Angeles-based nonprofit the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, would relinquish control over domain names and other aspects of Internet architecture in favor of a new “global” governing structure that would involve multiple “stakeholders.”
The United Nations subsequently welcomed this “transition” of key aspects of the web over to the “global community” as a “major step towards the multilateral Internet governance that the UN has been advocating for many years.”
But could such a transition herald a new era of Internet censorship?
“Things like the First Amendment aren’t going ton be applicable anymore, that’s going to be out the window, warns Urban Survival blogger Dave Acton.
Acton makes the point that the United Nations considers many firearms legally owned by U.S. citizens to be “weapons of mass destruction”. The UN has vigorously campaigned against civilian ownership of “small arms” such as hand guns and pistols, blaming them for 90% of civilian casualties worldwide.
Although not put into action, the Obama administration signed a United Nations treaty in 2012 which effectively banned civilian ownership of firearms, which the UN has previously characterized as a threat to the “power monopoly” of the state.
“So under that global governance program, websites that promote ‘weapons of mass destruction’ like firearms, ammo – those domain names aren’t going to be renewed,” warns Acton, adding that gun-related domain names will be restricted after the transition.
Concerns that the United States’ relinquishing control over the Internet to the United Nations could lead to censorship have been expressed by several prominent individuals over the past two years.
In May 2012, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philip Verveer warned lawmakers that proposals to give the UN more control over the Internet could, “potentially lead to an era of unprecedented control over what people can say and do online.”
In February 2013, Robert McDowell, a member of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, warned that the UN was slowly moving to seize control of the world wide web, characterizing adherents of such a move as “patient and persistent incrementalists who will never relent until their ends are achieved.”
Texas Republican Ted Poe went further, asserting, “The idea that the UN ought to be controlling the Internet to me is like putting the Taliban in charge of women’s rights.”
Hillary and Barry put this plan together a while back, they came to the conclusion that they were not going to be able to take the guns away legally so they entered into a treaty with the UN that also wants to take our guns away and then the Democratic House and Senate approved the treaty which by law circumvents the legal rights of the citizens of this country… This was always part of the plan, take over the health care system, take over the media air waves, take away the guns and slaughter and kill those that refuse to wear the sign of the beast, as the godless society continues to fulfill the prophesy of the book of Revelations…
Screw the UN they need to leave New York and move to some Third World Hell Hole.
We as a Nation do not have to stay with the U.N. we can with drawl . and with out our funding bye bye . to all you starving asses …
Some one really needs to do something about Obama and his executive orders he really needs to be taken out of office……
The UN can kiss my ASS
WE NEED TO IMPEACH OBAMA HE IS KILLING AMERICA
This is war.
Why doesn’t the congress get this guy out of office – are they waiting for him to give the whole country away
When too many different entities Ade involved there is usually never any agreed upon changes so changes never happen
first of all obama is an illegal president and had no right to give away anything he did not create to anyone that did create it. so when it is proved he isn’t legal ever action he did on behalf of the usa is not anygood so in fact the internet would come back under our control.
