Blaming a lack of accountability and control for the giveaway of America’s internet to the United Nations is just another of the many lies and diversions coming from the Obama administration.
If this were in fact a result of misconduct, it would be the first instance where the regime in power even acknowledged its misdeeds, let alone taking corrective action.
This is more of a case of shifting one of the world’s most important assets from America to the globalists at the United Nations, thereby giving them their first avenue into legal control over other sovereign nations, including America.
This will set a precedent and acclimate Americans into paying their UN tax. Just as the income tax began as a small insignificant one percent in the beginning, these things always grow, given time.
What will be the likelihood that an opinion attacking the UN will be permitted to have it’s place in cyberspace in the future? Will the discussion of conflicts or religious persecution, even terrorism be subject to a review by an anonymous UN minder? What type of system will be employed to remove “offensive material” and who will define what is offensive?
Just as the governments of tyrannical nations sit on the United Nations human rights commission, we’ll find a similar case in dealing with internet censorship and access in the years to come.
Maybe someone in the private sector will decide it’s time to build a private sector internet.
If so, maybe they’ll nip the thing in the bud and exclude governments, and the UN, now and in the future.

Ex-Bush admin official: Internet giveaway weakens cybersecurity, opens door to Web tax

The U.S. government’s plan to give away authority over the Internet’s core architecture to the “global Internet community” could endanger the security of both the Internet and the U.S. — and open the door to a global tax on Web use.
“U.S. management of the internet has been exemplary and there is no reason to give this away — especially in return for nothing,” former Bush administration State Department senior advisor Christian Whiton told The Daily Caller. “This is the Obama equivalent of Carter’s decision to give away the Panama Canal — only with possibly much worse consequences.”
The U.S. Commerce Department announced late Friday it would relinquish control of The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) — the organization charged with managing domain names, assigning Internet protocol addresses and other crucial Web functions — after its current contract expires next year.
In response to months of mounting criticism from the global community over sweeping National Security Surveillance programs leaked by former agency contractor Edward Snowden, the administration surrendered to allegations it had too much influence over the Web through ICANN, which designates the roadmap from web-connected devices to websites and servers across the globe.
“While the Obama administration says it is merely removing federal oversight of a non-profit, we should assume ICANN would end up as part of the United Nations,” Whiton said. “If the U.N. gains control what amounts to the directory and traffic signals of the Internet, it can impose whatever taxes it likes. It likely would start with a tax on registering domains and expand from there.”
ICANN’s Lebanese-born CEO Fadi Chehadé had already recently discussed setting up an office in Geneva — the location of the largest U.N. presence outside New York. If folded into the U.N.’s International Telecommunication Union, the organization would have access to a significant revenue stream outside of member contributions for the first time.
“What little control there is over the U.N. would be gone,” Whiton said.
The greater danger posed by the giveaway lies with the security of the Internet itself. While the U.S. has never used ICANN in a war or crisis situation, the potential exists for it to obstruct Internet commerce or deter foreign cyber attacks – powerful tools in the globalized information age.
After numerous recent widespread and successful cyber attacks against the U.S. have already been linked to emerging world powers like China, it isn’t difficult to image a future scenario in which management of ICANN could help ensure intellectual property, economic, national and international security.
“Under invariably incompetent U.N. control, it could mean a hostile foreign power disabling the Internet for us,” Whiton said.
