Goodbye 1st Amendment rights, here comes the United Nations.
Last March, ICANN, the Los Angeles-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, stated it would relinquish control over domain names and other aspects of Internet architecture in favor of a new “global governing” structure that would involve multiple “stakeholders.”
In 2012 Obama signed a UN treaty which effectively banned civilian ownership of firearms, which the UN has characterized as a threat to the “power monopoly” of the state, although we have yet to see actual enforcement of this treaty. So when you as an American wants to put up a pro-gun website and exercise your free speech, we can expect the UN to say “No”, and you will have no recourse but to comply.
Could the United Nations ban gun websites? That’s the fear being expressed by some second amendment advocates after the announcement that control over key aspects of the Internet would be transferred over to the “global community”.Last week it was announced that the Los Angeles-based nonprofit the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, would relinquish control over domain names and other aspects of Internet architecture in favor of a new “global” governing structure that would involve multiple “stakeholders.”
The United Nations subsequently welcomed this “transition” of key aspects of the web over to the “global community” as a “major step towards the multilateral Internet governance that the UN has been advocating for many years.”
But could such a transition herald a new era of Internet censorship?
“Things like the First Amendment aren’t going ton be applicable anymore, that’s going to be out the window, warns Urban Survival blogger Dave Acton.
Acton makes the point that the United Nations considers many firearms legally owned by U.S. citizens to be “weapons of mass destruction”. The UN has vigorously campaigned against civilian ownership of “small arms” such as hand guns and pistols, blaming them for 90% of civilian casualties worldwide.
Although not put into action, the Obama administration signed a United Nations treaty in 2012 which effectively banned civilian ownership of firearms, which the UN has previously characterized as a threat to the “power monopoly” of the state.
“So under that global governance program, websites that promote ‘weapons of mass destruction’ like firearms, ammo – those domain names aren’t going to be renewed,” warns Acton, adding that gun-related domain names will be restricted after the transition.
Concerns that the United States’ relinquishing control over the Internet to the United Nations could lead to censorship have been expressed by several prominent individuals over the past two years.
In May 2012, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philip Verveer warned lawmakers that proposals to give the UN more control over the Internet could, “potentially lead to an era of unprecedented control over what people can say and do online.”
In February 2013, Robert McDowell, a member of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, warned that the UN was slowly moving to seize control of the world wide web, characterizing adherents of such a move as “patient and persistent incrementalists who will never relent until their ends are achieved.”
Texas Republican Ted Poe went further, asserting, “The idea that the UN ought to be controlling the Internet to me is like putting the Taliban in charge of women’s rights.”
Get the U.S out og the G.D. un and get the G.D. un out of the U.S.

James Neighbors My fellow countrymen and women. Yesterday after the Supreme Court slapped Obama in the face, his reply was to slap the American people in the face. His snide, arrogance is going to be his undoing. Remember, 65% of the American public considers themselves Conservative. 25% consider themselves Liberals and the remainder are on the fence.
Obama has declared openly , war against the American people. He is a criminal. He will go down in the history books as the biggest fraud ever perpetrated against this nation. Benedict Arnold did nothing in comparison to this total waste of humanity, Barack Obama.
He is getting tons of help from both parties in DC and the media is just as guilty in all this. They all need to be taken out and removed from their positions. There is a war happening within these borders. Oath keepers, III%, American Patriot movement, what is it going to take for you to really get some skin in the game? We need every able bodied red blooded American to answer the call. This CAN be done peacefully and without bloodshed. It only takes people in the streets standing up against it. Millions need to take a stand right now. Millions need to be a Founding Father. We need millions of George Washington’s and Thomas Payne’s, and Paul Revere’s. If George Patton were alive, he’d be out there. Bank on it. Martin Luther King would have never gone along with this sham on the American people. The time has arrived. It needs to be done peacefully. Now is the time. Lady Liberty is standing in New York harbor, wondering when we will save her. Answer the call. Save the country. There is no choice. Slavery or Freedom. They are now the only choices. Choose wisely. BUT STAND!
no
The U:N has no business here and that treaty was against our constitution and our law making our president pretty much a traitor and the treaty null and void
NWO Reign of Evil Final World Empire 7 years to Wrap Up Evil 2 Thessalonians 2:1 – 3: Revelation 13: good old Lucky Number!
Yep
The UN has no rights over and above the US Constitution, especially the “BILL of RIGHTS” (which the founding fathers included the phrase “it may not be INFRINGED upon” … they knew what lunatics were & would be out there ) …the president and no one can give these rights away except the PEOPLE !!! I do not see that happening, as the UN was formed by the US government & still to this day control their every action because we support their money needs by 58% !!! They need to go to a country that is in need of help and support FREEDOM, not hinder it !!!
Get the UN out of this Country and Quit membership and Financial Support of this worthless Organization. They are not doing what they were established to do !!
Why is it that every time these clowns send in “peace keepers”, a war erupts? If we’d stop funding these clowns ( and the arab brotherhood) we could fund social security indefinitely.
We dont need or want the UN here period
