Do you love the U.N.?

[critch]

I heard a couple days ago that the United Nations wants to take over control of the internet. If you think that doesn't mean "total control" you may want to think again. I hope I copied enough of this article to make some since to y'all.
"Enjoy" the read.

The issue has cropped up in preparatory talks for a world
summit on the information society to be held from Dec. 10
to 12 in Geneva, with the stated goal of "advancing the
management and worldwide use of the Internet, especially
in poorer nations."

Pierre Gagne, executive director of the world summit, has
identified control of the Internet as one of two key
issues in the talks, adding that control and financial
issues "will probably be the last issues to be resolved"
at the summit.

The Internet, at present, is loosely managed by a private
organization in California named the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers, which coordinates such
matters as Internet servers and domain names. Many third
world countries would like to hand over that authority to
a U.N. agency, such as the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Yoshio Utsumi, secretary-general of the ITU, which will
host the December summit, said in an interview that Brazil
is "a very strong advocate" of his agency taking over the
Internet. China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, South
Africa, Senegal and many other African countries were also
"keen" for the United Nations to have a role, he said.

Yeah, we just BET he and his UN buddies are "keen" to take
over the Internet. Can you imagine?

-- UN control over all e-mail
-- UN control over all websites
-- UN control over all domain names
-- UN control over all e-commerce

These guys are worse than Dr. Strangelove and Dr. Drakken
combined. They really DO want to take over the world!

We need to stop them dead in their tracks, NOW!

ACTION ITEM: So far, The United States, backed by the
European Union, ***an and Canada, has been able to turn
back third world efforts to place the Internet under the
control of the United Nations or its member governments.
But we haven't stopped them -- just slowed them down.

In fact, as of today, the participating nations have
agreed "to ask U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to set up
a working group on Internet governance 'in an open and
inclusive process that ensures a mechanism for the full
participation of governments, the private sector and civil
society... to investigate and make proposals for action,
as appropriate, by 2005."

This means these UN world-government types are going to
pressure everyone for over a year to "take the Internet
away" from privately-run ICANN, and put it under control
of the UN. And who has the power to stop them? Right now,
our one big hope is President Bush.

So, we've set up a quick and easy way for you to have your
voice heard LOUD and CLEAR on this issue! Go to our site

As DeWeese noted, "the greatest threat to personal privacy
over the Internet today is posed by governments that
gather information to profile users, snoop into bank
accounts, and track our movements. Should we now put an
unaccountable, faceless international bureaucracy in
control to compound the situation?" Be sure to forward
this Alert to everyone you know that wants to keep the
UN's grubby little hands OFF of the 'net. If every one
reading this bombards the White House with Federal Express
letters and demonstrates an outpouring of grassroots
support for keeping the Internet UN-free, we can put a
STOP to efforts of these international faceless
bureaucrats!

The UN has its place and they would more than likely put a stop to spamings. I think his is a great idea, why should some company in California get to deside what and how everyone in the world is going to do something? Total Bunk!

I hope you're kidding. I'd rather delete 100 spam email a day than give the communists at the UN one bit of control over the internet. I feel that the UN is the biggest threat to global, and perticularly American, freedom that exists today.

They already want to take your guns...now they want to "manage" the content on the internet. I hope I'm not the only one who gets a chill running down my spine thinking about how the UN would "manage" the free speach on the internet. The UN is no less dangerous to freedom than Hitler or Stalin, but the reason nobody seems to mind is because the UN destroys freedom and usurps authority with sweet deceptive words and seemingly benevolent diplomacy instead of force.

I'm a firm believer that the US should immediately withdrawl from the UN and therefore cease all funding for their schemes to destroy our rights and sovereignty. Without the US' support the UN wouldn't last a year.

U.N. United Nimrods, the U.N. is a joke go ahead and let them take over this, that, and the other thing, and before you know it, they'll get there way with getting rid of our guns. The U.N. needs to go suck canal water, he** they couldn't help where they were suppose to, now they want to screw something else up. The U.N. couldn't even make a decent roll of toilet paper.

We need to get out of the UN and throw them out of NYC.

Drift, I agree...the UN's agenda is everything that America's is not...

They see America as an enemy...because we're the world's last superpower...

I think the less UN control the world has period, is better for Americans especially...

I wish the UN would just wither away into nothingness....

Just what we need. To have a bunch of useless socialists (aren't the all though) take control over and destroy something that has become wildly successful through free enterprise.

The UN can go piss up a rope.
