From the Dept. of Hidden Agendas comes:
"House approves resolution to keep Internet control out of UN hands" ... by ... wait for it ... 397-0.
Can anyone say Hot Potato? This is the Congress that will gleefully wreck the country by letting us lose our AAA credit rating (so Bankers with short-derivative-whatevers can skim more cash) and play games with debt bankruptcy ceilings... and they can find it among themselves to vote 397-0 to keep the UN out of the internet?!
Ingredients: Barrel. Fish.
Directions: Leave in Sunlight to cure for 3 days until nice and rotten. Serve on top of legislation when they whine that they can't get consensus even though the country risks economic implosion. Serves 12 bills.

Thank God.
The Internet in the control of the UN is absolute Orwellian tyranny. The UN is nothing less than purely Satanic. And I mean that in the worst possible way.
I love Slayer, but compared to the UN? They're about as Satanic as a Cheeto is a nuclear bomb.
Considering how feckless and ineffective (by design) the UN has been for most of it's existence, it's probably just as well.
You can't have an effective world governing body when a tiny group of players (all armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons) individually hold absolute and unchallengeable veto power over anything and everything the UN "resolves."
But then again, the UN was never set up with the intent to be a governing body. It's never been more than a public forum and debating society at the best of times. Much like the Student Councils and Student Senates in most high schools and universities. It has all the trappings of a government body - but none of the real authority.

You are far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far more optimistic about the UN than I am.
My opinion is pretty much orthogonal in almost every way. The UN has been very effective in instituting its Satanic tyranny and socialist/fascist policies of destruction and rape. It's a long term game for the UN, and they're doing very well in bringing about their sickness.
The UN is set up as an organization to bring about complete world tyranny and misery.
Do a quick search on Agenda 21.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=agenda+21These sickos think that vitamins should be by prescription, and that dosages should be far below any kind of nutritional value.
UN = Evil. Not "differently evil". Pure evil.
("You" here is the generic "you" or "one".)
If you start looking into the UN in greater detail, you will vomit. If you don't vomit, you didn't look into the UN, but rather just tried to get some sort of self indulgent satisfaction. It is not possible to peer into the Abyss and not have it affect you.
Any time that the UN does any "good", they are advancing a different agenda that is utterly Satanic and evil.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... Do not believe me. Look into this for yourself. Doubt everything I say. Call me a liar. Tell me that I'm a crank/kook/nut/whatever. But do look into it for yourself.
While I think that the current US govt./system is broken/evil, it pales in comparison to the UN. I'm very glad that some semblance of sanity prevailed, and that the US told the UN and ITU to piss off.
The Internet under UN control will be the end of freedom. They will try to "protect" people... It won't work... Anytime someone wants to protect you... mass graves follow. Simple lesson in history.
