Sorry about top posting.

There are numerous secrets in net neutrality that the majority of news
media is failing to tell us.  Is net neutrality another way to implement
government propaganda?  There are some in the media and congress who
think so.

Also just this past week the Chairman of the FCC gave a interview to the
BCC basically calling for censorship in the news media.  Net neutrality
may be the beginning of a government propaganda machine.

There seems that there are some think that net neutrality will
eventually be used to shutdown all speech that is contrary to the
present government policy whether Democrat or Republican.

The Internet as it is today gives us more information and news opinions
than what we had in the 60's and 70's.  We have access to almost every
news media in the world.  In the early 70's when I was in high school if
I wanted to research anything at the library concerning current events
it was a arduous task.  Look at the pain that Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein had to go through to bring Watergate to light.  With the
Internet as it is now open and free we have the ability to read any bill
that is going through congress.  We never had this ability before the
Army developed the Internet.

Like the wikileaks deal that we are going through, I noticed that it was
not until the Obama administration that government secrets were
divulged.  Could these leaks be originated from the white house like
Watergate originated from the white house?

I believe that net neutrality could be a back door plan to censor the
Internet from those who want to expose the graft and corruption in the
government and the Federal Reserve.

Have a good day,

LeRoy
