Who Let the Genie out of the Bottle America?

Why did we start giving our foreign enemies and criminals a way to hack all our chemical, nuclear and biological weapons, all computer controlled infrastructure services such as lights, gas, transportation, banking, medicine, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property and so on over the internet and world wide web.

Ronald Reagan knew war included the collection and dissemination of information. And if the Soviets or the Chinese ever got our computers and software they would duplicate our weapons and defenses. I believe Ronald Reagan would not allow US computer companies to sell computers and software to other countries that were our enemies.

I believe all the Presidents after Ronald Reagan loosened export restrictions on operating systems, data encryption, encrypted email software, along with CAD, GPS mapping, engineering software and more.

I believe our Government let our enemies have our science and technology including computer hardware, software and internet and more than they would be willing to admit. I don't know why we did it. Now the Chinese build a lot of computers and smart TV's with eavesdropping ability. 

Today almost every branch of government, banks, hospitals, utility companies, insurance companies and more have had their websites hacked and lost data.

Lets quit letting the Genie out of the Bottle.

We need to rethink how the internet we invented should be used in the future since we made the world a much more dangerous place for the individual, the government and business in about the last 30 years. 

Let's put what's left of the American Genie back in the bottle and keep America Safe.

Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier.

I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me.

Sojourner Truth

I feel safe even in the midst of my enemies; for the truth is powerful and will prevail.

Sojourner Truth

When I left the house of bondage I left everything behind. I wasn't going to keep nothing of Egypt on me, an' so I went to the Lord an' asked him to give me a new name. And he gave me Sojourner because I was to travel up and down the land showing the people their sins and bein' a sign unto them. I told the Lord I wanted two names 'cause everybody else had two, and the Lord gave me Truth, because I was to declare the truth to the people.
