Ted Stevens on Internet Tubes: Lying or Incompetent?

Stevens has been the butt of many jokes for these remarks, and yes it is funny, but something more important is overlooked. Namely, that Stevens has the entire concept of the bill backwards. In the speech he claims to be fighting for consumers over big companies that want to stream "ten, twelve movies at a time, or a whole book at a time".

The bill Stevens is pushing is not good for the little guy and small business as he claims- the real purpose of the bill is to remove the last bastion of free speech in America. from the BBC:

[The telecoms] would like to implement a two-tier system, where data from companies or institutions that can pay are given priority over those that cannot.

By creating this "pay-to-play" internet, the corporations will be able to charge whatever they want for net access, and it won't be long before only corporate sites are "in the fast lane". Just like tv and radio, the internet will be controlled by big $$.

Thanks to Clinton-Gore, our "public" airwaves are now owned by six, billion dollar corporations- they control the news, and thus who's "electable". Their control of the news is endangered by the internet because it has enabled citizens around the world to communicate freely without 'minders' eliminating certain stories.

Dependent on the corporate news for so many years, We, The People, suddenly found a way to bypass the lies and discover the real truth about Iraq, Katrina, 9/11, Depleted Uranium, etc. The military-industrial complex is getting a little worried.

We the people are using the internet to pull back the curtain, exposing the lies of the corporate media- putting in danger the globalists plan of perpetual war manufactured by fake terror. Its seems the goal of some is global poverty created by false scarcity, to enable a global slave state- with the billionaires living like royalty, and the billions of US fighting over water and peon jobs serving the elite.

The internet has allowed people around the world to become truly informed- and We can see clearly now that those in power are NOT the most intelligent or noble people. In fact, often they are complete idiots, mere yes men for the corporations, propped up by only by the sound bites selected by the corporate media.

As in the case of Ted Stevens and the internet tubes- Stevens is flat out lying about the purpose of this bill. The only question is whether he's lying intentionally, or he's just ignorantly repeating what an aide told him. Either way- he's standing on the floor of the Senate and completely misrepresenting the bill he's fighting for. Lying or incompetetent it doesn't matter- he should be removed from power. A man of such ignorance should not be allowed to vote on anything that matters.

America's last avenue for Free Speech is on the line, will you allow clueless fools such as Stevens to give that away too?
