Wrecking the Internet

BREAKING: Obama to Bypass Congress, Push to ‘Internationalize’ Internet, by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton, 9/29/15

The GAO will delay and distract while they are looking for a way around the Constitution and maybe, just maybe they will come up with some emergency that would justify them handing the US-founded and based Internet over to globalists. Maybe they’ll redefine it as a treaty, which still has to get Congressional approval by the way. Count on the GAO trying to find some way by next summer to hand over the Internet to foreign entities before Obama leaves office. It won’t happen if Ted Cruz gets his way and he’s working on this unconstitutional theft of intellectual and structural property. Cruz is right – this is absolutely an unconstitutional move that aims to bypass Congress once again.

From the Washington Examiner:

President Obama’s plan to “internationalize” the Internet may be unconstitutional, key members of Congress are claiming.

The group of lawmakers sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office last week, saying the plan to relinquish oversight of Internet domain name functions to a global, multi-stakeholder body raised questions about the administration’s “authority to transfer possession and control of critical components of the Internet’s infrastructure to a third party.”

The letter was signed by the chairmen of both congressional judiciary committees, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va; presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Issa is also a former chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

The lawmakers point out that the Constitution says “Congress has the exclusive power ‘to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States.'”

The Internet’s root zone file was developed by a grant from the United States, and since 1997, it has been operated by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration under contract with the Department of Commerce. The department had planned to transfer its management rights to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, an international agency, by this Wednesday, but announced this summer that the date would be postponed until roughly June 30 next year.

In their letter, the lawmakers asked the GAO whether transferring ownership of the Internet domain name functions would cause government property to be transferred to ICANN, whether the root zone file constituted U.S. property, and whether it was constitutional for that property to be transferred to any non-federal entity.

The lawmakers did not provide a deadline for answers, saying that the GAO would need to “conduct both significant audit work and complex legal analysis” in order to respond.

Notice how a small number of patriots are constantly the only ones thwarting the dictatorial and unconstitutional moves of Barack Obama. Ted Cruz is hated by the Washington Cartel because he is honest, ethical and does the right thing. He’s not afraid to take the fight to the corruptocrats and duke it out with them. Some say that Cruz can’t get anything done and says things that are akin to falsehoods and can’t be accomplished. That’s not true. Virtually everything Cruz has proposed can be done and is constitutional. The fact that he is feared and hated is one of the things that qualifies him for the presidency. The Internet must stay under US control. We dare not let dictators and despots gain control of the largest communications and commerce engine in the world. Obama knows his time is running short and wants that power in the hands of the globalists at all costs. Ted Cruz is the man who will stop him.
