A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

 Dear Conservative Friend,

 In a recent CNSNews.com commentary, Tom DeWeese called the
 Internet “the only unregulated source of liberty” in a
 world “already suffocating under the weight of rules and
 regulations designed to control, tax and consume every
 outlet of human expression”.

 Well, leave it to the United Nations to hatch a plot to
 take over the Internet.

 According to an article in the Washington Times by John
 Zarocostas, “Governments spearheaded by China, Brazil,
 India, Russia and Saudi Arabia are trying to place the
 Internet under the control of the United Nations or its
 member governments.”

 The issue has cropped up in preparatory talks for a world
 summit on the information society to be held from Dec. 10
 to 12 in Geneva, with the stated goal of “advancing the
 management and worldwide use of the Internet, especially
 in poorer nations.”

 Pierre Gagne, executive director of the world summit, has
 identified control of the Internet as one of two key
 issues in the talks, adding that control and financial
 issues “will probably be the last issues to be resolved”
 at the summit.

 The Internet, at present, is loosely managed by a private
 organization in California named the Internet Corporation
 for Assigned Names and Numbers, which coordinates such
 matters as Internet servers and domain names. Many third
 world countries would like to hand over that authority to
 a U.N. agency, such as the International
 Telecommunications Union (ITU).

 Yoshio Utsumi, secretary-general of the ITU, which will
 host the December summit, said in an interview that Brazil
 is “a very strong advocate” of his agency taking over the
 Internet. China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, South
 Africa, Senegal and many other African countries were also
 “keen” for the United Nations to have a role, he said.

 Yeah, we just BET he and his UN buddies are “keen” to take
 over the Internet. Can you imagine?

 — UN control over all e-mail
 — UN control over all websites
 — UN control over all domain names
 — UN control over all e-commerce

 These guys are worse than Dr. Strangelove and Dr. Drakken
 combined. They really DO want to take over the world!

 We need to stop them dead in their tracks, NOW!

 ACTION ITEM: So far, The United States, backed by the
 European Union, Japan and Canada, has been able to turn
 back third world efforts to place the Internet under the
 control of the United Nations or its member governments.
 But we haven’t stopped them — just slowed them down.

 In fact, as of today, the participating nations have
 agreed “to ask U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to set up
 a working group on Internet governance ‘in an open and
 inclusive process that ensures a mechanism for the full
 participation of governments, the private sector and civil
 society… to investigate and make proposals for action,
 as appropriate, by 2005.”

 This means these UN world-government types are going to
 pressure everyone for over a year to “take the Internet
 away” from privately-run ICANN, and put it under control
 of the UN. And who has the power to stop them? Right now,
 our one big hope is President Bush.

 So, we’ve set up a quick and easy way for you to have your
 voice heard LOUD and CLEAR on this issue! Go to our site
 below to send a personalized FEDERAL EXPRESS letter,
 urging President Bush to “hold the line” against giving

 As DeWeese noted, “the greatest threat to personal privacy
 over the Internet today is posed by governments that
 gather information to profile users, snoop into bank
 accounts, and track our movements. Should we now put an
 unaccountable, faceless international bureaucracy in
 control to compound the situation?” Be sure to forward
 this Alert to everyone you know that wants to keep the
 UN’s grubby little hands OFF of the ‘net. If every one
 reading this bombards the White House with Federal Express
 letters and demonstrates an outpouring of grassroots
 support for keeping the Internet UN-free, we can put a
 STOP to efforts of these international faceless
 bureaucrats!

 We’ll need a concerted demonstration of solidarity to keep
 President Bush “on task” with everything else going on.
 Please send your FedEx letter NOW, before you go on to
 anything else. For just $9.95, your message will be
