Michelle Obama explains to China that if they would let information flow, they could find out what everyone is saying everywhere, just like the NSA does around the world. The NSA tells Barack the secrets and hey presto, he can take out anyone. It's an amazing invention.

<First Lady Michelle Obama used a trip to China Saturday to promote the liberating “power of technology” in a veiled swipe at the harshly restrictive Internet and media environment in the country.

At her first—and only—major speech scheduled during her time.com goodwill tour to China, Obama said that new technology can “open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we could never have imagined.”

“It is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the Internet and through the media,” she said. “Because that’s how we discover the truth, that’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities, in our country and our world.”
> Quite right. Obama has all the information around the world, including from China, Huawei and everywhere else, which flows freely over the internet so the NSA can learn what's really happening.

Aaron Swartz liked the liberating power of the internet but his idea of "power" didn't match Obama's idea of power. Aaron lost, Obama won. Aaron is dead, Obama is not. Michelle is alpha female. When the NSA illegally does the same sort of thing as Aaron Swartz, that's apparently okay: <On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by MIT police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after systematically downloading academic journal articles from JSTOR. [10] [11]Federal prosecutors later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, [12] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution and supervised release. [13]> Calvinball rulz ok. Wow, imagine downloading academic journal articles... the horror. Let's see what punishment Clapper and Lerner get.

Look at the liberation of information about Huawei and China's government, and Huawei's customers. Huawei wants to be liberated too, but USA aka Michelle does not allow that. Barack is liberated, Huawei is not. time.com

Meanwhile, Russia has got Crimea back in a vastly less messy way than the USA does shock and awe, terror and horror when they want to take over somewhere. Heck, there was less drama in Crimea than there is in the average SWAT night time "knock on the door" in a drugs raid in Peoria. There was less forcible rectal cavity search, repeated, with forced enemas, than in a traffic stop in New Mexico which is not actually in Mexico since it was annexed, like Crimea: edition.cnn.com

Ooops, same thing for women: elpasotimes.com
