Obama Passing Laws to Search Citizens Computer, page 1

Oddly enough I can't find anything in the printed press about this. I googled it when I saw the video and all the results link to this video. It sounds genuine.

The law is a treaty that we are working on with other nations to protect copyright laws. The way it is now, the law is civil, not criminal. But that is about to change. It will also give government the ability to freely search anyone pc with or without their consent.

Again, I find it strange that no one has picked up on this story. If anyone can find a link to any mainstream media organization running anything about this story feel free to add it.

I think the government's ability to search of computers is speculation at this point. You never know, though, as the draft treaty is cloaked in secrecy.

Now President Obama's White House has tightened the cloak of government secrecy still further, saying in a letter this week that a discussion draft of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and related materials are "classified in the interest of national security pursuant to Executive Order 12958."

The 1995 Executive Order 12958 allows material to be classified only if disclosure would do "damage to the national security and the original classification authority is able to identify or describe the damage."

Effectively, Obama is claiming that illegal music downloads and their like are a threat to national security.

Well ain't that a coincidence! The UK government already rolled this out in January. Clearly these decisions are made at a higher level than any particular sitting government. Obama/Brown just get the job of rubber stamping and selling it as "necessary".
