Study: Net Neutrality to Curb Innovation, Investment and Curtail Consumer Welfare

There is a reason that the Obama Regime wants to control the internet and it isn't for the good of the internet users or bloggers. Control of the internet leads to control of what is currently the most open source of news, fiction and fantasy available to We the People. The internet is host to ultra-left liberal bloggers and web sites as well as ultra-right bloggers and web sites along with everything in between. It hosts factual news as easily as fictional propaganda. It allows the almost instantaneous spread of ideas and thoughts. It is already neutral in that anyone can go on the net be they right, left, sane or insane, truthful or a liar. So if the net is already neutral, what is the FCC up to?

It is simple. There is an old axiom that if you want to control people you must control the information that those people receive. It is the goal of the Obama Regime to put in place controls which ensure that the primary information provided is that approved by the government. By limiting, or eventually eliminating, opposing information the populace can be more easily controlled by those who believe themselves to be the ruling, intellectual elite.

All those who value freedom, regardless of political leanings, should oppose this move. Those on the right will naturally oppose it because their political beliefs naturally oppose the goals of the Obama Regime. Those on the left should oppose it because, trust me, although he would like to be, Obama will not be in power forever and the next President will be from the right. The power to control the speech of a free people by either the left or the right must be opposed by all those who wish to maintain freedom.
