Glen Beck Shows That Cash For Clunkers Web Site Declares Federal Control Over Computers Accessing It

According to the usage agreement that auto dealers must agree to before accessing the federal government’s “cash for clunkers” website, when they log on their computer officially becomes the property of the federal government.


Whenever the government begins some new initiative, mission creep is a definite concern. At one time our federal tax code was a simple flat tax that existed simply to raise revenue. Now it’s a gigantic, complicated pile of law that is routinely used not just to raise revenue but to manipulate our behavior as well through a maze of deductions, exemptions and rebates. The interstate commerce clause was intended to facilitate trade among the various states. Now it’s used as justification for regulations as varied as the federal government’s drug code to mandates on how many pepperonis must be on a frozen pizza.
But the federal government claiming control of your computer just for accessing a website?
Now that’s raising the bar.

    Supposed computer expert you mean. The EFF has refuted these claims as baseless and laughable. This was a poorly written EULA that extended the reach of the program’s website. Thats it, end of story. Chill the hell out.

  • sayanything-4625

    Yeah and these wingnutters are the same ones running around telling old people that the government wants to kill grandma and grandpa and will be making home visits to make them fill out a form telling them how they want to die.

    Wingnutter Central? You mean I am wing nut when I listen to the president say he is going to cut Medicare? AFTER YEARS of you Dems telling us that Republicans wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare to get votes! That rich! HA HA HA HA!

    President Obama’s budget plan for fiscal year 2010, which he plans to release today, would trim $316 billion over 10 years from Medicare.

    What wingnuts we are, telling you reality! Wing nut Central, the Obama Administration! Now you Know, and knowing is half the battle. DJER your a hoot!

    I went to the site and can not find what beck is talking about, it must be when the dealer is submitting forms for authorization. Now I am no IT guy but I have built a few computers. And I am sure that you have to enable in Windows the right to look into your computer, your firewall will prevent any malicious data retrieval. They probably consider your computer a “federal” computer when and only when you are requesting or transmitting files to and from the government. It would probably be pretty easy for someone to upload a virus to a federal database when you are transferring files. And as far as cookies go that the chick is so concerned with, a simple wipe program will take care of that. Every site you go to leaves cookies.

    this stuff is put there to detect fraud. if the gov wants to audit you, they can more easily take your computers.

    if i were a dealer, id buy a $400 desktop and do everything from that system on a separate phone line. problem solved.

    “Don’t go to the web site” that was a good one. Interesting how beck could not get the screen to pull up, he could of just saved it, but instead he decided it better to transcribe it for you.

    Bottom line………. He’s right!

    I’ve listened to Beck on the radio since 2000.

    His show is informative and entertaining.

    He’s been spot-on correct in his assertions!

    He and his crew do massive research and it’s only gotten better since he’s been taken up by Fox.

    Compare this to the MSNBC/CNN tripe, and the P-O-S Marxists that infest those networks.

  • groetzinger

    Didn’t they pass some bill that would allow the goverment to listen to phone calls and web chatter?

    The only thing new about this practice is the disclosure. With or without the disclosure, it’s an arrogant, overreaching, and greedy practice.

    Doesn’t it make you feel all warm and comfy that this type of administration wants to control your matters of health and health records with Obamacare, matters of free speech and thought with the “Hate Crimes” Pedophile Protection Act, and everything else with the global Communist Cap and Trade?

    This is nothing new, .gov asserts legal authority over computers which access government documents, only problem is when it goes in front of a judge it gets thrown out. They have no legal authority to do it. Yet the wording is still there, because plenty of people will roll over as soon as they receive anything making that claim.

    Bottom line, you go to ANY government operated webpage you best have strong security and anonymizing software, else you will have a never ending litany of virusi, trojans and other unpleasant issues. The same with following any link posted by dinothefakehomo, buzzy and realitydenyingboob.

    For warned is forearmed.
