One of the next big fights in Washington is going be over so-called net neutrality, which is code for onerous new government regulations on the Internet. A free and open Internet remains of the few ways we can organize to stop the unending centralization of knowledge, money and power.

I think it bears examining the mentality of those in the White House who are in charge of communicating, and two new video clips give us a peak into White House Communication Director Anita Dunn’s thoughts.

In this clip she lists Mao Tse Tung as one of her favorite philosophers. And in this clip she brags about how the Obama campaign was able to control the media and avoid talking to reporters (starting at 1:45 in the clip). During the campaign, Obama asserted “I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to net neutrality.” And he hasn’t, not even the legislative body that is empowered to create new laws.

The Obama FCC is pushing for these sweeping new rules without any authority from Congress. Click here to go to OpenInternet.gov to tell the FCC not to enact net neutrality by administrative fiat.

As the net neutrality debate heats up, keep in mind that the White House is using a Maoist philosophy to control the media and avoid talking to reporters. All this in hopes of expanding their power to stifle our ability to communicate with each other.

Watch as they do it all by claiming to defend free speech and transparency. Classic DC doubletalk.
