The House of Representatives changed, then passed, the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, better known as CISPA, late Thursday afternoon. As the dust settles, many are wondering where CISPA stands now and where it’s headed next.

But then new puppets claiming to yet again being America's last hope would rise to power. And then they'll sign everything liberticide they're ordered to while their good reputation still lasts.

Remember Obama's has been among the most liberticide in history. Lad is seen as very veto-shy (only 2 during entire presidency, when the average pres pulled 20-40 vetos average during theirs), even commenting on critical topics looks like too much trouble for the wimp.

Obama will back down from his CISPA veto.
How wonderful it must be to shut complainers while they're restless and go back on your word after they scatter away reassured.



http://www.dailydot.com/politics/cis...o-mike-rogers/

Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), the U.S. Representative responsible for introducing the Cyber Intelligence Security Protection Act to Congress, said that President Obama will sign the bill if it passes the Senate, despite an earlier White House promise to veto.

“[I]f we can get a bill on information-sharing to the president's desk, he'll sign it. I do believe that,” Rogers said Monday after a panel discussion. CISPA passed the House of Representatives in April, and is expected to go before the Senate for a vote in late June or July.

In April, Obama’s advisers released a statement that condemned CISPA for the exact reasons most privacy advocates have: that under the guise of protecting the country from cyber attacks, the bill would allow companies to share a wealth of otherwise private user information with the government, with little recourse for users.

However, as the Daily Dot noted in May, one of Obama’s top advisers on cybersecurity, Howard Schmidt, retired a month after that statement’s release. Schmidt was openly against CISPA, and he likely played a key role in shaping the White House’s stance on the bill.

The White House has expressed a favorable stance to another cybersecurity bill, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which critics say violate citizens’ privacy in ways similar to CISPA.

Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut), who introduced that bill to the Senate, has warned his colleagues that unless they vote on it by July, it likely won’t pass.

Rogers also said that he thought CISPA could pass the Senate, but that Lieberman’s bill couldn’t. Lieberman has promised to retire in January and has said that passing a cybersecurity bill before then is his highest priority.

Once the “dust settles,” Rogers predicted, Obama’s only option to enforce U.S. cybersecurity will be to sign CISPA.

Well, that Mike Rogers wanker can sod off. And people hoping to reelect Obama would like having the Titanic back up into the iceberg after getting hit the first time.

It's all leading to this:

A bit long, but well worth the listen. Don't really need to watch it either, so you can keep it in the background.
If you don't want to spend 83 minutes, listen to this instead:

It's just under 10 minutes, and basically summarises the first video.

[Dcollins85]

That's some pretty scary stuff Ahielia. Makes me wonder how they'll convince people in the military and police force to put their own families into that kind of program.

Don't think they'll manage it with this current (adult) generation, which is why they're indoctrinating the children. They'll do as they're told, both by the government and the media.

[Fadingz]

Indeed, we are already too old for any sort of brainwashing.
but I'll brainwash my own kid before the others do so.

With everything getting computerized, control taken away to 'the cloud' and access possible to authorize only on whims by allpowerful gatekeepers, and increasingly omnipresent biometric chips and ID, you'd be surprised how effective that'd be for a start.

Manufactured crisises could also enforce change spanning an entire society pretty quickly and more efficiently than endoctrination (subtle or not) could, since failure to adapt and bow to the new order may simply mean the loss of sustainability. Just look at Greece and the US. If this keeps up, soon enough will start to settle for jobs just paying for their food, and compete for the lowest pays (like in reverse auctions, but applied to another market). It's bad enough that outsourcing keeps pay for jobs floored, but China's rates are unbeatable.

'Privacy killer' CISPA is coming back

Oh, those crazy kids in Washington are back on it again.

In just one week, both the Homeland Security Secretary J anet Napolitano and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned that U.S. critical national infrastructure—including water, electricity, and gas networks—were vulnerable to hackers and the U.S. could be hit by a "cyber-9/11".

Napolitano even urged Congress to pass legislation governing areas of cyber-security so that the .U.S government could share information with the private sector, which may help prevent cyber-attacks on infrastructure critical to U.S. national security.

So, that's what they're planning to do. And you can stamp your feet as much as you want, the way it's looking, the proposals will be brought into law whether you like it or not.

And for the record, I'll be there stamping my feet with you.

The cyber-security bill, dubbed CISPA—the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act — that was shelved once it passed the U.S. House after the U.S. Senate began work on its own set of measures.

It would have effectively given the green card to American private-sector businesses to hand ordinary citizen data (and therefore potential intelligence) back to the U.S. government in order to thwart primarily cyber-attacks—but also what could potentially be terrorist attacks.

This, as you might expect, caused an uproar among the online community who believed that private companies could effectively hand over data—such as cell phone records, email records, and even Facebook and Twitter data—directly into the hands of U.S. intelligence.

Even the White House was concerned, and threatened to veto the bill altogether.

But now, there are two separate reports that suggest CISPA could be heading back to the Congressional table, but also that President Obama may bypass his lawmakers altogether and issue his own executive order.

First off, according to The Hill, ranking member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) said he plans to reintroduce CISPA back into the House. By working with the White House directly, Ruppersberger hopes to alleviate some of the government's concerns.

Failing that, however, Obama could issue an executive order on the matter as soon as next week, according to Bloomberg's sources. It's expected to be released just after the State of the Union address this coming Tuesday.

CISPA was a tricky law to get your head around. It defined cyber-security threats as efforts to "disrupt, degrade, destroy or gain unauthorized access to any system or network, whether privately owned (by a company) or owned by government," said ZDNet's Violet Blue, who covered the topic extensively and in great detail.

But arguments have been made that suggest such attempts to "disrupt [or] degrade" a network—commonly known as a denial-of-service (DoS) attack—could in fact be a method of online protest.

While some questioned whether DoS or DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack are the modern equivalent of a sit-in protest, it is now a matter for the courts to decide, reports Techdirt. The argument is that in some cases it is not a malicious act. There is no malware and nothing is stolen. It is, arguably, when carried for the sole reason of protesting, the same as creating an impromptu flash-mob protest, except using a computer rather a person's physical being.

There was even a petition to the White House on the topic in the last few days that failed to gain traction. Only 6,000 people signed the petition, while 25,000 signatures were needed during a 30-day period to see it earn an official response. (The White House now needs four-times as many signatures after one petition asked the U.S. government to build a Death Star.)

Privacy activist Asher Wolf told ReadWrite last month: "There is no way in hell the White House will ever legalize DDoS."

But as CISPA rears its ugly ahead again, as will those pesky activists who fight on our behalf for our online freedoms and privacy protection.

Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Firefox browser-maker Mozilla, and Reporters Without Borders, among many others, all opposed the Bill.

The bill was, however, supported by AT&T, Facebook, IBM, Intel, Oracle, Symantec, Verizon, and others—although, it was strange considering only months before many of the aforementioned firms came out against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which led to the effectively shuting down of the Web for a day.

The CISPA threat led to the Internet Defense League—a threat-level group set up after the SOPA revolt—calling to arms, and asking everyone who cares about online freedom and privacy to get involved to prevent CISPA from becoming law. In a statement, the group that these "bills would end online privacy, treating everyone like criminals instead of making us more secure."

Despite Obama's warnings that he would veto CISPA the first time around, as the past has dictated, if Congress doesn't play ball then the President will just take it and sign an executive order anyway.

I knew it was too soon to be over. The only terrorists we need to be worried about are government officials.

Well, it's not "just" Obama's fault. You can blame the baztards who fathomed the idea as well as the other super rich wankers backing him up behind the scenes. Obama is just a puppet who takes orders from above. They ALL need to sod off.
