US Sovereignty under Attack

Reports that the EU and a coalition of countries including Cuba, China, and Iran want joint control over the internet is a cause for concern. By giving other countries control over the internet, a system that the US Government has invested in heavily, the US will lose sovereignty over a major information network and a means of commerce, defense, and now a means of governance. Why do they want it? Because they think it “belongs to the world” now and they thus should not be under the control of one government. First, the US invented it, the US got it off the ground, the US set up a government agency to handle it, and the US helped other countries set it up. This is paramount to giving the United Nations control over our weather and communication satellites as well as our GPS constellation of satellites because other countries us those assets.

The question becomes, who is really behind this effort. Yes, France, Germany and even Great Brittan are major players, but the real force is China. Since the internet has become a major part of every day life in China, they have been hungry to get more control over content, mostly to oppress individual thought and opinion and this will make it even easier. If the US loses control of the internet, China wins. This is a proxy war few Americans know of and my happen with little fan fare or debate, yet it effects us all!
