Take a wild guess who’s bankrolling the pro-Net Neutrality regulation efforts…
Despite the fact thatnot a single person outside of the FCC has actually read the 332 pages of proposed government regulations for the internet, there sure do seem to be a lot of people supporting it. But why? Would would people be blindly supporting they’re not even allowed to read?
Because’s the pro-big-government crowd has an unbelievably effective marketing machine, and they’ve got hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for it.
from Washington Examiner:
Liberal philanthropist George Soros and the Ford Foundation have lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” agenda, donating $196 million and landing proponents on the White House staff, according to a new report.
And now, as the Federal Communications Commission nears approving a type of government control over the Internet, the groups are poised to declare victory in the years-long fight, according to the report from MRC Business, an arm of the conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center.
“The Ford Foundation, which claims to be the second-largest private foundation in the U.S., and Open Society Foundations, founded by far-left billionaire George Soros, have given more than $196 million to pro-net neutrality groups between 2000 and 2013,” said the report,
authored by Media Research Center’s Joseph Rossell, and provided to Secrets.
“These left-wing groups not only impacted the public debate and funded top liberal think tanks from the Center for American Progress to Free Press. They also have direct ties to the White House and regulatory agencies. At least five individuals from these groups have ascended to key positions at the White House and FCC,” said the report which included funding details to pro-net neutrality advocates.
It quoted critic Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment, saying, “The biggest money in this debate is from the liberal foundations that lavish millions on self-styled grassroots groups pushing for more and more regulation and federal control.”
It seems like every time the Federal government is preparing to gobble up more power, if you follow the money trail, it leads to the same rat.
If you think having your ISP in charge of your internet is bad, wait till the Federal Government is in charge. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet…
