FCC Charade to Justify Internet Regulation, Control and Censorship

Target: Freedom

9/2010

The Federal Communications Commission has “extended their comment period” on the subject of regulating the internet. This “comment period” is a charade to create the appearance that the public has some sort of voice in the seizure of power that they are about to attempt.

The Federal Communications Commission is now a part of the Department of Homeland Security. Like every other ‘administrative agency’ the unelected bureaucrats at The Federal Communications Commission unconstitutionally make up “laws”, but call these laws “regulations”.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.” — The Declaration of Independence

Administrative agencies enforce their own laws by assessing fines, and issuing orders. They conduct their own trials, but call these trials “hearings”. Thus, they wield legislative, executive, and judicial power all in the same agency.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” — James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47

And now… the rest of the story. …..
