Neoliberal and “Israel Firster”, Joe Lieberman, Wants the US to be More Like China When it Comes to Silencing Dissent

by Scott Creighton

Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman have teamed up again to produce yet another step in the direction of fascism in America.  As a U.S. and Israeli armada head toward Iran, Joe Lieberman submits a bill that would give the president the ability to shut down “PARTS” of the internet at a time of war, for “national security” reasons of course. 

After all, China does it, so why not America?

“The president should be able to say… we’ve got to be able to disconnect the AMERICAN INTERNET from all internet traffic coming in from another foreign country, OR PUT A PATCH ON THIS PART OF IT… and I say TO MY FRIENDS ON THE INTERNET.. relax…” Joe Lieberman  (what does “my friends” mean? Is he talking to me? doubtful. Or does “friends” mean something different?)

The aim is pretty simple, once a war breaks out based on yet another false flag event, this administration would be able to turn off websites that delve into anything that could call the official narrative into question. Dick Cheney, eat your heart out. Imagine if Bush had tried to get away with something like this back in his day. The “progressives” would have had an embolism… yet now?  (crickets and tumble weeds)

Just look at the result from the sinking of the Cheonan.  The people of South Korea began to question the official story almost immediately, information was shared at a rapid pace, evidence was uncovered that undermined the “official investigation” and the end the end result was a stunning loss for the ruling party on June 2nd, an investigation into the “official investigation”, and high-ranking military officers had to step down.  Not to mention the U.S./South Korean naval manuevers in the area off North Korea’s coast were canceled twice. The fact is, the U.S. led travesty of an international “investigation” failed to justify the State Department’s desire to inflict regime change in North Korea… and the internet was largely to thank for that.

But the neoliberal fascist Joe Lieberman will have none of that “truth” stuff messing up his plans to attack Iran at Israel’s bidding so the plan is to give Hillary Clinton the ability to shut down “parts’ of the internet leaving only the official government shills to post their dogma for the country to absorb.

Just a little background…

 ”Like Bill Clinton and Dick Gephardt, Lieberman served as chair of the Democratic Leadership Council.”  The DLC is an institution of “centrist” democrats who are in service to the corporate state and the military-industrial-banking complex.
