More Russia Hysteria

Just in time for the election, here's another fear-mongering claim about the Russians:

First of all, it has been proven the Russians did not interfere in the 2016 election in any consequential way. It's likely the same will be true for the 2020 election.

Second, as a former trained Senior Reactor Operator I can attest that US nuclear plants have no compelling reason to be attached to the Internet. They can be completely controlled using equipment and instrumentation located on the site. Any external connections ought to be protected against intrusion, and if they are not that's the fault of the plant's owners ... not the Russians.

Finally, the REAL villain here is the Internet itself. Its very existence is responsible for the following:

1. Anyone, anywhere in the world can steal your identity.

2. Anyone, anywhere in the world can steal your money.

3. Anyone, anywhere in the world can steal your data and your intimate secrets.

4. Anyone, anywhere in the world can tamper with our elections and just about every aspect of our existence.

5. Children of all ages now have ready access to drugs, porn, all manner of depravity, and messages of insurrection and sedition.

Who in their right mind would have allowed such a system to be created and implemented, especially with the flimsy "protections" it now has?

You want security and decency? Shut down the Internet, rip it's infrastructure off the face of the earth, and go back to the way we did things in the 50s. Is that too backward for you? Well good ... then you can suffer with the mess we're now in until it totally wrecks the entire country (as if it hasn't already).
