Obama Triggers Blackouts: Could This Really Happen?

Legislation is being proposed that would allow President Obama to shut down the Internet in the wake of a national crisis like the one happening in Egypt

I get crazed when I’m trying to reach my husband on his cell phone and realize that it’s actually ringing in the house because he forgot to take it with him. Or if I send him a quick email that he doesn’t return shortly after I assume he’s received it. Especially if I need to talk to him about something regarding our daughter. And by the time my daughter is of an age where she uses the telephone to communicate instead of play, I’m sure we’ll get her a real one so that we can reach her in case of an emergency.

Upon reading that there is proposed legislation that would allow the President of the United States to shut down the Internet in the event of a national crisis, or cyber attack, I felt similarly crazed.

The Internet was shut down in Egypt days ago in the wake of the country-wide demonstrations, but by shutting people off, it only caused them to riot and protest with even more anger and rage. I can’t that I really blame them. Knowledge is power, and not being able to communicate can be like losing a limb.

While those proposing the legislation say the intention is to aid the government in the event of a cyber attack — not a real one — and that it’s not meant as a form of censorship, it still feels like an awful lot of power going into the hands of the government. And since a “cyber emergency” has yet to be defined, I have a hard time wrapping my head around when and why the government feels it might ever be OK to cut off communication between my family and me.

My sympathy for the increasing awful situation in Egypt continues to grow by the minute, particularly when thinking about the families there unable to communicate with each other about their well being.

How would you feel if someone deliberately cut off your ability to communicate with your family?

Obama Triggers Blackouts

Obama Triggers Blackouts

Alex Jones from Infowars is always into something that has people getting in an uproar. Today on the site they were accusing The Obama administration of implementing the rolling blackouts in Texas and across the rest of the country. Record cold weather is killing the US but people are saying that Obama is doing this just to lay seige to the coal industry. They say that Obama triggers blackouts but do you believe that it is true?

Obama triggers blackouts is a pretty huge accusation. This really isn’t anything out of the ordinary for the Infowars site however. They are also responsible for the V for Victory campaign. Who knows if it is true that Obama triggers blackouts?

It is said there is a deeper plot when it comes to this however. They believe that Obama wants to launch a takeover of infrastructure under the global warming scam. They think that this could help usher in the post-industrial collapse of America. As of right now there is no solid proof that Obama triggers blackouts.
