BREAKING : Obama’s Attempt to Surrender U.S. Internet Control to Globalists Hits a Speed Bump as Four States File Suit
Top law enforcement officials in four states filed suit Wednesday to delay the Obama administration’s proposed giveaway of a critical Internet agency to an international authority, saying the grantee would have the power to “effectively enable or prohibit speech on the Internet.”
The complaint, filed by Republican attorneys general in Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada and Texas, argues the transfer violates several components of the administration’s statutory authority.
The administration’s plan to sign ownership of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority over to international Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on Friday would consign the critical function of governance to an international community, the complaint contends, rendering the Web vulnerable to censorship by foreign powers, despite what the rules say.
“ICANN has a documented history of ignoring or operating outside of its governing bylaws,” AGs argued in the complaint. “In addition, even under NTIA’s [National Telecommunications and Information Administration] oversight, ICANN’s current practices often foster a lack of transparency that, in turn, allows illegal activity to occur.
The complaint names as defendants the NTIA and top agency official Lawrence Strickling, as well as its parent agency, the Department of Commerce, and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.
Plaintiffs additionally contend NTIA violated administrative law and statutory authority by failing to conduct the process in a more transparent manner, or obtaining authorization from Congress.
“Because the federal government defendants’ planned actions of ceding control of the Internet would tortiously interfere with the plaintiffs’ contractual relations, they are unlawful and should be set aside,” the AGs said.
The administration has sought for several years to complete the transfer. Congressional critics, most notably Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, have attempted to block the transfer.
The effort manifested most recently in an attempt to block funding for the transfer in a continuing resolution, which Congress needed to pass in order to fund the federal government. However, the measure passed both chambers on Wednesday without an injunction against the transfer.

More Obama treason.
Obama has got to be stopped he’s a lame duck president for sure and he cannot get away with anymore enough is enough stand up America
More states have to stand up to this arrogant excuse for a leader. He is driving the US into the ground.
But people understand that is not only Obama who’s behind all this scheme, Congress and Senate they are all complicit of this treason, put the blame where it belongs, our whole government.
Obama is attempting to head up the UN after his reign of terror in the US. He is trying to set up a framework for dominance and control prior to his future plans.
Obola had a job interview recently at the UN–his speech/lecture in which–as always–he expressed his disgust & hatred of this country. Anyone who’s gone through a job
Interview knows that the ONE thing you NEVER SHOULD DO is bad mouth your current or former employer during your interview! I hope he blew his chances. Id like to put him in an Elon Musk rocket & fly Obola to Mars.
