A Bi-Partisan Big Brother State

Big Brother is Bi-Partisan
Both parties are in a mad 100 yard dash to create a centralized Big Brother Police State

• Special Note to Republicans:  The GOP only pretends to be an opposition party to the Democrats.  Republicans have not a clue what the Bill of Rights is.
• The GOP internet bill below uses private companies to gather your private information for the Federal Government.
• Under the GOP bill no search warrant is needed.  

The Comrade Obama administration is going all out to muster support in Congress for a bipartisan cybersecurity bill co-sponsored by Republican Senator Susan Collins and Independent Senator Joseph Lieberman and Democratic Senators Jay Rockefeller and Dianne Feinstein.
                                                   .
Critics contend that the bill contains several provisions that represent a sweeping power grab on behalf of the federal government reports Infowars.

A measure recently added to the bill by Collins and Lieberman, and supported by Obama, would empower the Department of Homeland Security to conduct “risk assessments” of private companies in sectors deemed critical to U.S. national and economic security, forcing them to comply with expensive mandates to secure their systems.

There are a whole host of other cybersecurity bills in the works including a GOP bill, co-sponsored by Republican Senator John McCain known as The Secure IT Act, and a newly introduced GOP bill known as The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), sponsored by Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers.

All of the bills have the same vague wording and do not clearly define what a cybersecurity threat is. This has prompted groups such as The Electronic Freedom Foundation and The Center for Democracy and Technology to speak out about what they see as legislating for broad information sharing between private companies and the government for ill-defined purposes.

“The Rogers bill gives companies a free pass to monitor and collect communications and share that data with the government and other companies, so long as they do so for ‘cybersecurity purposes,’” the EFF said in a blog post. “Just invoking ‘cybersecurity threats’ is enough to grant companies immunity from nearly all civil and criminal liability, effectively creating an exemption from all existing law.”

Kendall Burman of the Center for Democracy and Technology spoke about CISPA in an interview with RT:

“We have a number of concerns with something like this bill that creates sort of a vast hole in the privacy law to allow government to receive these kinds of information.”

Burman added that the bill, as it stands, allows the U.S. government to involve itself in any online correspondence if it believes there is reason to suspect “cyber crime”, which it does not even clearly define.
