Presidential Powers During Cybersecurity Emergencies
- Text size

Our nation can be threatened not only by physical attacks on terra firma, but also in Cyberspace. Indeed, Cyber attacks could threaten all sorts of mission critical systems.
For this reason, aides to Senator Jay Rockefeller reportedly have been working recently on a revised draft Senate bill that would give the President broad powers in the event of a Cybersecurity emergency, and that apparently would go so far as allowing the President to temporarily seize control over computer networks in the private sector.
This power is akin to the power President Bush exerted when he grounded commercial aircraft in the wake of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, according to a reported Senate source.
The revised draft Senate bill calls on the President, within 180 days of enactment, to develop and implement a comprehensive national Cybersecurity strategy. This strategy is to provide a “long-term vision of the Nation’s Cybersecurity future” and a plan that “encompasses all aspects of national security,” which would include private sector involvement.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
This is a mouthful, of course. But what it boils down to is that, if this becomes law, the President will be able to declare a Cybersecurity emergency and then direct the response to that threat. This would give the President very broad power.
Some might argue that this open-ended power and flexibility are exactly what the President would need to cope with the unusual circumstances that could be encountered by various types of Cyber attacks.
Others might argue that the revised draft Senate bill is too vague in terms of the scope of authority ceded to the President, and that there should be greater specificity to ensure that unbridled power is not abused potentially in the future.
Plainly, the United States needs a chain of authority and plans and measures designed to prevent and then cope with possible Cyber attacks. However, whether the revised draft Senate bills gets off the ground and becomes law as is remains to be seen.

Im going to tell you all the reason. In the event a major WMD bio attack etc, these powers will prevent that local area from using the channels to get the news out and alert the public without it being filtered thru the control line. This legislation will no dought cover up any type of action taking place without approval of its exposure. This is a Blackout… Movie Running Man can be reality once this takes effect.

When military checkpoints are here via martial law, to impliment forced vaccinations, and those who refuse will be sent to fema quarantine camps, for extermination. We all know mainstream media wont cover it, but we will find out via the internet that Rockefeller despises. Therefore, when the NWO unleashes hell on earth using compliant troops and police (some wont comply, but most will:)
There will be an executive order to turn off the internet and cell communications, and phones. The tv propaganda commercials are already hinting to us that phones and web will be shut down.
There has been hundreds of thousands of Roundabout roads installed throughout the US this year, take a good look at one. The center of the round about is elevated, and has a gas line, and electric line right in the middle, perfect for installing a checkpoint. RFID bracelets, will allow you to pass the checkpoint, if you dont have one, you will have to take the shot, or go to camp fema, first they need to do gun confiscations, another reason to shut down the web and phones.
Time is ticking, the only hope for us is to get our local sheriffs to join the oath keepers movement, and help us from being killed. Call your sheriff today, tell them not to participate in gun confiscations, forced vaccinations, and sending Americans to fema camp prisons.
If you think this is all BS or a joke, its not. I used to think it was, until i saw this cdc document, here is 1, dont think your state doesent have the same protocol. I damn near messed my drawers after reading this.

No surprise that the bill is sponsored by a Rockefeller.
better cap those we can while we can

This is how the feds will obtain complete internet control,they’ll say it’s because of a “terrorist hacking incident” and it will justify them shutting down informative sites such as this and hundreds of others indefinitely.
Be careful,when “they” shut down the web,that is probably the time that patriotic and defiant Americans will have their doors kicked in under the cover of us not being able to share the info and raise the alarms to others.
-When the web’s down,lock,load and have your weapons read at your bedside every nite!

All these people have to do is to pull off the so called National Security Data from being exposed on the Internet! Why do they have to be on the Internet anyway?

What I don’t understand is why is everyone..including me just sitting here. I know all this stuff and I had a horrible thing happen to me (click my name to hear my story), but we just keep getting all this information and doing what??
October 7th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
through the excuse of national security they want to control everything. National security is like a wild card that they pull out whenever they want to control something. I am sorry, but that national security act of 1947 (around then) has to be repealed in order to take away that wild card they use all the time, and which allows them to do as much abuse as they want to the American people and the people of the rest of the world.

something tells me that barry soetoro is going to be using these powers a lot. the internet and radio they know is what is slowing down their whole agenda. what a sad group of corrupt politicians we have.
October 7th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Yeah well thats just the thing about the internet, it was built to withstand a nuclear attack.
A couple of lazy FBI geeks aren’t going to gain control of it any time soon, despite all their WoW fantasies and unfailing desire to stuff their noses into the butt cheeks of those in authority.
Just remember Usenet –
“This is similar to the complex transportation plan of a city. There are multiple ways to get to any point in the city. If any of those ways is blocked for any reason, there is always another avenue for one to get where one wants to go.”

Places we can meet is a good start , traps for food , and you know if we have to , as the old saying goes “live off the fat of the land ” i’m 54 and have had to live pretty hard my friend and still am . I’m use to being poor and have made it this far . I’m no terrorist and i don’t like to be treated as such by some of the so called fellow Americans in power .

The Rockefeller Family is being exposed for what they truly are, greedy, seething pieces of garbage. Of course Jay Rockefeller wants the internet shut down or controlled. According to the Rockefellers you’re all just a bunch of useless eaters. Many Americans broke their backs to help make this family wealthy, how dare they.

Mr. Jay Rockefeller needs a more convincing story. This one has glaring holes. It looks like plain old tyranny to me.
