Why the World Must Resist Calls to Undermine the Internet Andrew Sullivan, 02.03.2022 https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/03/why-the-world-must-resist-calls-to-undermine-the-internet/ Dear friends, Andrew Sullivan rightly pointed out in his text that "the Internet is for everyone". Absolutely right in the idea. But the reality is different. The technical players acting today are not interested in a free global communication of people, but in a commercialization and capitalization of their needs for communication. This result did not come about by chance, but was already the essential guiding principle at the beginning by the government of the USA under Ronald Reagan. The original concept of "the inter-connection of local Net-works", which is necessarily based on local networks, became a privately and state organized system of interconnected star-systems, "the inter-connection of private Star-Systems". This interconnection of star-systems creates the possibility to organize access and exclusion according to arbitrary criteria. And we see today that the system of a free global communication has turned into a field of censorship and private control mania, organized by countries calling themselves "the West". Already the naming points to organized bullshit, because the planet is a sphere and not a disk and thus any directions can lead to the same goal. The actors of this fragmentation and breaking of a free human communication "without borders" are those who call themselves representatives of a "free world", but in fact trample every diversity with military boots. Every form of racial mania a'la Cecil Rhodes is put back on the table. Lying and hypocrisy is the form of communication that is now elevated to the absolute. The idea of telecommunication in the form of an Internet that does not adhere to private or governmental or geographical boundaries, as we saw with Jonathan Postel, was destroyed at the very beginning of the life of an Internet. Today we see what a monster of small-minded power madness it has developed into, where only private profit interests and state delusions of control apply. The alternative always remains. A telecommunication in the form of an internet, which rests on local networks and thus enables free access to all people of our planet, independent of their social situation and geographical position. That and only that is a "net of nets". with kind regards, willi Asuncion, Paraguay in german ----------------------------------------------------------- Liebe freunde, Andrew Sullivan hat zu Recht in seinem Text darauf hingewiesen, "the Internet is for everyone". Absolut richtig in der Idee. Aber die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus. Die heute agierenden technischen Akteure sind nicht an einer freien globalen Kommunikation der Menschen interessiert, sondern an einer Kommerzialisierung und Kapitalisierung ihrer Beduerfnisse nach Kommunikation. Dieses Resultat ist nicht zufaellig entstanden, sondern war bereits zu Anfang das wesentliche Leitmotiv durch die Regierung der USA unter Ronald Reagan. Das urspruengliche Konzept "the Inter-connection of local Net-works", das ja notwendig auf lokalen Netzwerken ruht, wurde zu einem privat und staatlich organisierten System von verbundenen Sternsystemen, "the inter-connection of private Star-Systems". Diese Verbindung von Stern-Systemen schafft die Moeglichkeit, nach beliebigsten Kriterien den Zugang und Ausschluss zu organisieren. Und wir sehen heute, dass sich das System einer freien globalen Kommunikation zu einem Feld der Zensur und privatem Kontrollwahn entwickelt hat, das von Laendern organisiert wird, die sich "der Westen" nennen. Schon die Namensgebung deutet auf organisierten Schwachsinn, weil der Planet eine Kugel und keine Scheibe ist und damit beliebige Richtungen zum gleichen Ziel fuehren koennen. Die Akteure dieser Zersplitterung und Zerbrechung einer freien menschlichen Kommunikation "ohne Grenzen" sind jene, die sich als Vertreter einer "freien Welt" bezeichnen, tatsaechlich aber jede Diversitaet mit militaerischen Stiefeln zertrampeln. Jede Form des Rassenwahns a'la Cecil Rhodes wird wieder auf den Tisch gestellt. Die Luege und Heuchelei ist diejenige Form der Kommunikation, die nun zum absoluten Mass erhoben wird. Die Idee einer Telekommunikation in Form eines Internet, das sich nicht an private oder staatliche oder geografische Grenzen haelt, wie wir es bei Jonathan Postel sahen, wurde schon zu Beginn der Lebensphase eines Internet zerstoert. Heute sehen wir, zu welchem Monster kleingeistigem Machtwahns es sich entwickelt hat, wo nur noch private Profitinteressen und staatlicher Kontrollwahn gelten. Die Alternative bleibt immer existent. Eine Telekommunikation in Form eines internet, das auf lokalen Netzwerken ruht und so allen Menschen unseres Planeten den freien Zugang ermoeglicht, unabhaengig von ihrer sozialen Lage und geografischen Position. Das und nur das ist ein "Netz der Netze". mit lieben gruessen, willi Asuncion, Paraguay
