"THE DAY THE INTERNET WENT DARK"
This week in WorldNetDaily's Surfin' Safari column, Andrea Shea King's lead story is about Egypt's use of the Internet "kill switch." Since there's legislation sitting on Harry Reid's desk for a "kill switch" here in America, you had better get familiar with this story and fast.
King covers the senate legislation, who's behind it, and who'll have the ultimate power to flip the "switch" in the event they deem it necessary. Do you know how the Internet is shut down? King covers that as well, plus much more.
1972 MUNICH TERROR MASTERMIND, ABU DAOUD, DEAD AT 73
Abu Daoud (Mohammed Oudeh) was one of the key planners of the attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. During the attack, 11 Israelis were taken hostage. Later, during a botched rescue attempt, all 11 of the hostages were killed. Shockingly, the Munich Games were not canceled. *(Correction: 11 Israelis died; 9 of the 11 died in the rescue attempt.)
Daoud, like Charles Manson in the Tate murders, did not participate in the Munich attack, he just planned it. And, like Bill Ayers, Daoud has no regrets:
"In 2006 Abu Daoud said he 'regrets nothing' and would not apologize for being one of the masterminds of the Munich attack. He told Germany's Spiegel TV it was up to Palestinians to 'fight as long as it takes Israel to recognize our rights…You can only dream that I would apologize.'"
In 1972, we had no 24-hour cable news coverage. So when this international crisis broke out, ABC had to go with what reporters they had available on the scene. Jim McKay, a sports reporter and the face and voice of ABC's Wide World of Sports, was their go-to guy.
When ABC confirmed the report, McKay reported to the world, "They're all gone."
"Dwight Armstrong, one of four young men who in 1970 bombed a building on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison, killing one person and injuring several others — a political protest that, gone violently wrong, endures in the national memory as an act of domestic terrorism — died on June 20 in Madison. He was 58."
