If I hear ‘Great Firewall of China’ one more time…

China wants to suppress freedom in religion, ideas, words, actions, and so much more. The Chinese government is run by dictators who label themselves communist. They could give themselves any label. It really doesn’t matter. They are in power and that’s the way it will remain. Ideas and freedom threaten their precarious hold on over 1 billion people.

Why does their need for control and American industry’s acquiescence surprise anyone?

Why are we sorrowed at our industrial and technological giants who are looking at the potential of a vast market (yeah, 1 billion people living at subsistence level are going to on-line purchase through Google —“ hahahahahaha)?

Do you think that ideals and freedom are what these companies are all about? The only thing a company stands for is its bottom line. Actually they stand and bow to it.

Saud is in our gas tanks and ports, China is in our technology, all because someone got rich. We wouldn’t let China have a petroleum company. Why? I guess that hit to close to home for America’s ruling elite.

If there were a motivation to support the good and just, or even to do what is right for this country, we would have to get on board with annihilating these dictators and converting their followers (think natural implications here).

As it is, the teacup firewall is only as strong as our willingness to reinforce it by trading strength for weakness.
