United Nations Bids to Take Over Internet

This is scary news for anyone who values the Internet:

Kofi Annan, Coming to a Computer Near You! The Internet's long run as a global cyberzone of freedom — where governments take a "hands off" approach — is in jeopardy. Preparing for next month's U.N.-sponsored "World Summit on the Information Society" (or WSIS) in Tunisia, the European Union and others are moving aggressively to set the stage for an as-yet unspecified U.N. body to assert control over Internet operations and policies now largely under the purview of the U.S. In recent meetings, for an example, an EU spokesman asserted that no single country should have final authority over this "global resource."

This so-called "global resource" was developed in the USA, but that won't stop globalists from helping themselves to it, just as they would help themselves to everything else in this country if given a chance. We aren't just talking about who divvies up domain names — content will be effected, and drastically. As the WSJ points out:

Some of the countries clamoring for regulation under the auspices of the U.N. — such as China and Iran — are among the most egregious violators of human rights.

Imagine corrupt lowlife like Annan — in collaboration with communist dictators and the evil mullahs of Iran — determining what can or cannot be said online. It would be like replacing the Internet with PBS. To state the obvious, this cannot be allowed to happen.
