Good Grief! Obama's Ugly Commie Face Soon To Pop Up On Your Cell Phone
Obama's face soon to pop up on your cell phone
by Andrea Shea King
Your attention please. This IS an alert …
… about a federal PLAN that has stirred up considerable controversy in a climate of deep distrust of Washington, D.C.
Some are comparing "The PLAN" to the ubiquitous "Big Brother telescreen" that ruled the lives of those who lived in the nightmarish world of George Orwell's "1984."
Fast forward to 2011 technology that gives our so-called texter-in-chief the ability to bring Big Brother to your cell phone. When President Obama wants your attention, he will have it. Presented innocuously to the American public as a personal alert on your cell phone to warn of a crisis, the PLAN, or Personal Localized Alerting Network, will sound an alert – or the president will send you a message – whether you want it or not.
Akin to technology that tracks our movements using cell tower and Wi-Fi signals, a poll taken by the New York Daily Times on May 10 revealed that 82 percent said they did not want the service.
Comments included the following:
"Why am I not allowed to opt out of presidential messages? The president is not allowed to insert himself into my life without my consent, and my cell phone is my life. This administration is becoming more Orwellian every day. "
"It's definitely a Big Brother creep out. Remember when the nuts used to say that Bush was going to declare martial law and cancel elections? I'd believe it of this guy."
Rush Limbaugh observed that terrorists – who also carry cell phones – will use it to their advantage and satirically commented on the potential for governmental abuse: "You know, if they don't want us talking to each other, all they gotta do is flood these networks with never-ending emergency alerts. Well, no, no, it's true. If what Bloomberg says is true, they can override any network congestion, they can get through any mess, that means they can stop us from talking to each other, if they wanted, were so inclined, and you know how they feel about tea-party Times Square bombers."
The new system is an expansion of the Federal Communications Commission's emergency alert system currently broadcast over radio and television and is set to be rolled out in New York City by the end of this year. The rest of the U.S. will be online by mid-2012.
And from the "Oh, come on" department, several U.S. senators are quite willing to violate your First Amendment rights with the Protect IP Act, a little piece of legislation that would make linking to certain sites a felony. Care to know who these anti-Constitutionalists are?
Patrick Leahy, Orrin Hatch, Chuck Grassley, Charles Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lindsey Graham, Herb Kohl, Chris Coons, Richard Blumenthal, Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, John Cornyn and Chris Coons.
Read up on the Protect IP Act and then use GradeGov.com to tell them exactly what you think of their meddling.
Wild Thing's comment........
Someone,, name one single government program that has stayed inside it’s original intended use,,, NONE.
This technology to send us text messages is the foot in the door. They absolutely HATE our ability to communicate. A million people show up on the national mall for a TEA rally,,, they declare it a riot and shut off phones in the area.
They introduce it as away to “inform” us. The next step to facilitate that is to stop our outbound ability, “to ensure the towers arent overloaded of course”.

Question?
We attacked Libya because the government of Libya used military force to put down an armed insurrection. If an armed insurrection took place in the US, would the government use military force to put it down?

Shortly after Hitler took power in the early 30s he contolled the MEDIA and blamed the communists...Dr Zhicago and his Baracksheviks are no different!
