Quoting the article :

"Pending legislation that would grant the President of the United States the power to pull the plug on the country’s internet access in a declared “emergency” returned to the forefront this week on the same day Egyptians faced a nation-wide blackout designed to curtail widespread government protests. Egypt flipped it’s so-called “kill switch” — will the U.S.?

Please note in the article above that this U.S. blackout would be selective.

"An aide to the Homeland Security committee described the bill as one that does not mandate the shuttering of the entire internet. Instead, it would authorize the president to demand turning off access to so-called “critical infrastructure” where necessary." [ me: of whomsoever he wills ]

The "kill switch " would not involve commerce.

Friends, just as TPTB can pull the plug on our freedom to have internet access to networking and information, so also the plug ( EMP ?? ) will be pulled on TPTB, as told in Rev. 16 : 10
"and his kingdom was full of darkness".

"the night cometh when no man can work " -- John 9: 4
