I day trade stocks. I have a live stock market feed. This is how I earn extra money for our family during retirement. This Obama takeover would shut down my stock market feed, would shut down my financial efforts.

Mine is one example of zillions. Shutting down the internet would cut off banking, cut off many emergency services, cut off a lot of critical medical services and would cut off ability to communicate across America during a time communication is critical.

Obama and his boys are so very stupid. Best security for critical “national security interest” systems is “air gap” security. This is simply unplugging sensitive systems from our public internet. Such stupidity on the part of our government! This stupidity is reflected in this bill.

Our government, our energy infrastructure, our military systems, all and more have an ability to establish private secure intranet systems through cable, microwave and satellite services. Many of our sensitive services are already on private intranet systems. Our nation is already crisscrossed with private secured data transmission methods.

Ability to shut down our public internet is simply stupid. Not only stupid, this is reactive rather than proactive. A need to shut down our internet is direct evidence of our internet already being compromised; much too late. Once compromised, upon turning our internet “back on” those problems still exist and will spread. This turning off our internet does nothing to cure “infection” in the system.

A proactive method is to create private and secured intranet systems for sensitive services, an intranet “unplugged” from the public internet. A secured unique system, strengthening security, this is the right approach.

This bill is not only idiotic, this bill is dangerous; creates complacency and a false sense of security.
