"THE STORY OF THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION"

The story comes from American Thinker, and is told by someone on the ground in Egypt. Focused mainly on how and what has happened in the past week, it also points out the personal struggle for survival you don't often see in news coverage.

Of particular interest for me, is the role of social media. When you fully understand the power of this new tool and how it was used, it becomes clear why the Egyptian government reached for the Internet "kill switch." More importantly, it becomes clear why Obama wants the same capability at his fingertips.

"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.

THE DAY THE INTERNET WENT DARK--Andrea Shea King.

**TONIGHT** 9PM ET--
THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW. We'll be covering many topics, including the Internet "kill switch."
