So, my blog is being regularly viewed by Russians, who view it more than people in the United States do. I have no delusions about that: I suspect and have suspected that it is Russians who do automatic trolling looking for sympathetic blogs to enlist or convert people to their ideals.
I think that the Russians do not get that from me, and I wish they would stop checking on me. I am not a disillusioned American, and while I execute my Constitutional rights to express my opinions, whether or not they agree with the prevailing sentiment of the political power currently in control of the Congress, the Executive Branch, or the Supreme Court, I am not a dissident. I am a total believer in the governmental due process as ensured by the Constitution of the United States of America. And I am a total believer that I am allowed to express my opinion, no matter how it aligns with the powers that be, without repercussion.
The recent news story about the Russians hacking into banking accounts and obtaining information about Americans http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fbi-probes-russian-hacking-attacking-u-s-banks-report-article-1.1919940 concerns me. Is this rogue Russian hackers? Is this government employed hackers who are out to intimidate or otherwise defile the American public or business community?
I am not sure these questions will be answered. I will monitor my bank accounts to be sure they are not pilfered by the Russians. Or if they are, I can inform the bank in a timely way.
I am so sorry that international politics is so inimical. We are better than that. Instead of war, bombing, incursions, sanctions, we should be trying to figure out how we can all get along and promote safety and security throughout the globe.
