Radio host Alex Jones sees the new steps to protect the US from cyber attacks as attempts to curb the freedom of speech.

A breeding ground for radicalisation and a possible launching site for a devastating attack on the US – that's how the Director of National Intelligence has described the Internet to Congress.

The house subsequently voted to spend hundreds of millions dollars to protect the nation from cyber attacks. But critics say the move could be aimed not at hackers, but at the right of freedom of speech.

Radio host Alex Jones sees the Congressional initiative as a fall into Hitlerian censorship.

“The system is discredited, the main stream media is going bankrupt as no one believes them any more about Climategate hoaxes, swine flu hoaxes, banker bailout hoax, healthcare hoax – so the government comes with net-surveillance in an attempt to set up the Internet too,” Jones told RT.

I spoke with someone who worked with the NSA on a bus and he informed me that China incessantly commits cyber attacks on the United States, 24/7, 365, and that the attacks were capitalized on as routine training for NSA recruits. Alex Jones implicitly states that cyber attacks from China and/or Russia are "basically non-existent", is basically not true. Even if my source is not credible, just believing that states and governments do not pick at each other through pseudo-cyber warfare is naive. Besides that, there is no way EVER that a state can censor anything over the internet. It is simply not possible because we the people are more than clever enough to bypass any and all attemps. Just check out the failed censorship attempts of www.thepiratebay.org.

Why are people talking about Alex Jones rather than what he has said and the evidence he brought forth? Cass Sunstein, Time Magazine etc.
