I guess there is not need for this bill since we don't control the Internet any more!

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/08/28/1659257/Emergency-Government-Control-of-the-Internet

"A newly proposed bill would give Uncle Sam the power to disconnect private sector computers from the internet in the event of a 'cyber security emergency.' As usual, our government is trying to take away our privacy by citing security. What actually counts as a 'Cyber-Security Emergency?' Does the president now have the option of disconnecting people when they disagree with his policies? How about disconnecting bloggers that criticize his health care reform? What counts as an emergency? Can political opponents be deemed a cyber-security emergency?"

 Update at 3:14 p.m. PDT: I just talked to Jena Longo, deputy communications director for the Senate Commerce committee, on the phone. She sent me e-mail with this statement:




The president of the United States has always had the constitutional authority, and duty, to protect the American people and direct the national response to any emergency that threatens the security and safety of the United States. The Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity bill makes it clear that the president's authority includes securing our national cyber infrastructure from attack.

I guess there is not need for this bill since we don't control the Internet any more!

It's reassuring to know that the gov't has some plan, and is taking some precautions, in case we face a massive cyber terrorist attack.The internet has become such a significant part of our infrastructure, it's good that we ensure it is protected. Having the ability to shut down the entire internet nationwide can prevent a small attack from becoming a larger one.

Which government are you referring to since America is not in control of the internet? China, Iran, North Korea??? And how will we know which government will be more in charge than others???
I guess you don't have to worry if you are content to be a global citizen. But I am an American and I am not ready to give up on REAL freedom. Although we don't have any continuing city here on the earth if we truly belong to Jesus. So one day even America will be sold down the river. And it will be a river of sorrow.

I'm referring to the US gov't. Despite what you might think, the US still has provision over the internet within the US, and can go about shutting it down within the US. That's what the "cyber security emergency" measures you mentioned were talking about: what the US would do.

As for who controls the internet, no country does, and the US never did. Sure, the US used its power and ingenuity to further its own purposes on the internet, but the US has never "controlled" it. It is worldwide, and always has been.

And I am a global citizen. We are all. Cuz we're all on this same globe. Remember that American power/dominance is not always a good thing, because when the US throws it's power around, it doesn't always do so in the most Christ-like ways.

The world is already divided into 10
regions and soon there will be 10 kings. America is region #1.
When they give their power to the Beast then everyone will have to be marked. If you get that mark, you will be making the biggest mistake of you life and you will never ever enter into the true Kingdom Of God which Jesus Christ will be ruling over forever. It's your choice. God is all about us choosing. I have made mine.

How Will Demographic Change Affect the Global Economy? in World Economic Outlook : The Global Demographic Transition IMF, September 2004
 Macroeconomic Consequences of Pension Reforms in Europe: An Investigation with the INGENUE World Model (2001)
Our Future Pensions and Globalisation: An Exploration of the Issue Using the INGENUE Model (2001) The INGENUE model has been developed in order to analyse in a unified framework the stakes of the asynchronous ageing process in the different world regions and of the long-run catching-up process of the developing countries. It focuses on the long term growth perspectives, on the saving and investment dynamic of the different regions as well as on the evolution of the world interest rate. The second version of the model (that notably integrates some improvements concerning the geographical splitting, the production sector and the capital market functioning) is currently in use. INGENUE is an overlapping-generations general equilibrium model describing a world divided into ten regions on the basis of demographic and socio-economic criteria: North America (including Australia and New Zealand), Western Europe, Japan, Eastern Europe, Russian world, China World, Indian world, Latin America and Africa. Each region is made up of three agents: households, firms and the public sector.
