Internet Morbidity

Barack Obama has ignited two fronts on a war against traditional liberty that will virtually eliminate the freedom to control our possessions, our private property and our personal lives.

In his most recent move, on September 30, 2016, President Obama quietly severed our nation’s hosting of an obscure tech company called, the Internet Company for Assigning Names and Numbers (ICANN).  ICANN issues all of the IP addresses (the string of numbers and periods that identify your computer) for the World Wide Web.

Because ICANN controls all web addresses, the nation hosting the company can exert tremendous power over all Internet users.  America served as host to ICANN specifically to keep the Internet free of taxation and control.  Obama ended that protection and the repercussions will be volcanic.

By refusing to renew our longstanding contract with ICANN, the tech company became a free agent, seeking a new international host.  Negotiations are underway and the United Nations is about to fill that void.

By contracting with ICANN, the UN could individually tax each IP address through your utility, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues to become completely autonomous and self-funding.  It gets much worse. Whoever hosts ICANN, literally controls the earth’s lives.

ICANN not only issues the names and IP addresses for all of the world’s websites, unknown to most, they also issue IP addresses for all of the late model appliances, ranges, air conditioners, TVs and virtually every other electronic device throughout the world.

In the United States, these devices are accessible through Smart Meters. Using your own federally controlled utility, every toaster oven, and air conditioner, lighting and heating system in every home in the country would be individually controllable by the UN.

The international body could black out an entire community, a group meeting of government dissidents or reduce the air conditioning for a single family. The idea of “private possessions” or even privacy in your own home would become extinct.

This fight is far from over.  America may never regain the digital control Obama surrendered, but we can prevent it from taking control.

Sustainable Freedom Lab is already in discussions with groups regarding multiple ways to protect communities from this type of electronic ‘invasion’ and to bring that information directly to you. 

In his second attack, Obama took a titanic chunk out of our Constitutional protections. Unless stopped, we lose the last threads of local self-determination and homeowner privileges.

By altering our Founders’ intent behind four words in the 10th Amendment, we are losing control over who sits in our children’s classrooms, where we and how we will live, and our voice in our own community affairs.

The administration has expanded its authority under the Fair Housing Act by re-interpreting the definitions of segregation and discrimination.

Our 10th amendment says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Today, the words “The powers not delegated...” are nearly meaningless.  By drastically expanding the definitions and intentions of the Fair Housing Act, there are virtually no “powers not delegated” or capable of being delegated to the federal government.

The government now considers low-income neighborhoods examples of “segregation.”  A community of expensive homes with large lots equals “discrimination,” and a classroom containing children with parents of similar socio-economic backgrounds lacks federally defined “diversity.”

In New York, HUD told one community leader that single-family homes on a ¼-acre plot are considered discriminatory “exclusionary zoning” because low-income families cannot afford to live there.

In San Francisco, HUD rejected a community plan to offset rising home prices and allow low-income renters the choice to remain near their family and friends. Because the plan increased the numbers of affordable homes in a single area, HUD declared the plan amounted to “segregation” overriding the wishes of officials, HUD residents, and voters.

Housing projects are only the beginning.

By teaming with the Department of Education and Department of Transportation, HUD now leads the charge to infuse the government’s vision of regional sustainable development in every American community.

To the government, regional sustainable development means centrally planned communities fenced into regions under the control of unelected councils.  The council’s decisions replace voter’s voices.

Sustainable development is not only HUD’s main purpose; its worldwide implementation is the main reason the UN desires to control ICANN.

Regional sustainable development means autocracy.

San Francisco’s Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) instituted preferred development areas that uproot families over the objections of local Republicans and Democrats.

Minneapolis’ unelected regional Metropolitan Council, employs 4000 workers in two states with the authority to raise taxes, and manage community growth, mass transit, highways, sewer, water, and future development. All with no voter approval.

When communities realize the drawbacks and high costs associated with sustainable development, many rejected the planners’ ideas. That is why HUD took the lead.

HUD links regionalism to the elimination of discrimination.  Failure to comply with the government’s regional sustainable development program becomes a civil rights violation with the weight of the Department of Justice to keep communities in line.

What do HUD, the Departments of Education and Transportation have to do with sustainable development?  Everything.

Under HUD’s new Fair Housing initiative, “income mobility,” the administration concludes that children of low-income families are failing in school and life because of urban sprawl, lack of transportation to better schools and jobs, and too little income mobility.

Their solution is to move families into high density, transit-oriented living near better jobs and schools…whether the individuals and community want it or not. Sound familiar?  That is regional sustainable development.  Failure to accommodate HUD’s plan can lead to withdrawal of grant funds and charges of discrimination.

HUD even partnered with the American Planning Association to have them “identify best practices for supporting economic mobility, expanding housing affordability and increasing access to opportunity-rich neighborhoods, education and jobs.”

The effects of ICANN and the intrusions of federal agencies can be stopped. Sustainable Freedom Lab is leading the fight to help communities reject federal agencies like HUD and dismantle the ability of property control schemes launched through ICANN.

In October, our nationally acclaimed 3-part tele-summit “Socialism in America” gave listeners a hard look at the reality of American Socialism from experts who know its terrors first-hand. We brought in top experts to explain how we can turn back America’s fatalistic drive to self-destruction.

Our on-going series, “Ending HUD’s Tyranny” features successful activists, attorneys, public officials, and topic experts who are waking communities to the dangers of federal agencies and stopping them.

I have received hundreds of comments asking us to bring more training programs into people’s communities.  We have the ideas and the people, but I need your support to make this successful.

Property Value Defense is our online forum where you can share your experiences in defeating the administrations’ onslaught through federal agencies.  Through our free newsletter, you will stay up to date on the latest actions by federal agencies and any other group that attempts to sweep away property rights and local rule.

Getting the word into the mainstream community is tough.  The media blacks out information that can save our communities and increasingly our Internet integrity is under attack.

Sustainable Freedom Lab bypasses the press to directly inform attorneys, HOA’s, activist groups and public officials across the country of news before the federal government has a chance to act.

We have multiple requests to broadcast our information.  More people want to see our new advertisement, Sustainable Evictions, in their viewing area. SFL has arranged with media buyers to assist us to gain access to television and radio networks nationwide to expand the public’s awareness of the dangers.

We are expanding online training to attract more experts who can help us fight the new ICANN host threat and federal agencies. An investment in Sustainable Freedom Lab will take these programs to our fellow Americans across the country.

Between federal agencies and now ICANN, we are losing control over our communities, our property and our lives.  Join me in restoring our freedoms and reclaiming the values that make America the greatest nation on earth.
