"You cannot take an absolutist view on this," Obama said at the South by 
Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.  "If your argument is strong 
encryption no matter what, and we can and should create black boxes, 
that I think does not strike the kind of balance we have lived with for 
200, 300 years, and it's fetishizing our phones above every other 
value."

In one of my former writings from 2015 "The Dawn of the Crypto Age" 
found in 2600 Magazine 2015 Autumn edition or 
http://www.cannon-ciota.info/files/The-Dawn-of-the-Crypto-Age.txt I have 
explained the real reason and true agenda behind the war on crypto.

As for the comments of our disgraceful president. We have not had 
balance for majority of the last few hundred years. Save for the 
revolution of 1775, power has been out of balance with the monopoly of 
power in the hands of governments. It is just as of recently, in the 
last few decades with birth of crypto technologies in which power has 
been going more into balance as a result of crypto technologies.

Governments are only against crypto because it limits their ability to 
grow in perpetual power. Governments hate things which keeps it within 
due bounds. The war against security (crypto) is not about safety of the 
public, it is about security of a tyrannys ability to retain power and 
keep that power out of balance in its favor.

We are now at the point in which crypto is being treated the same as 
armaments, if you abolish the legality of crypto and metaphorically thus 
disarm the population you have the recipe for tyranny.

As for the threat of outlawing crypto and secure technology, the 
solution is simply to not comply regardless of legality or consequences. 
There is no compromise.

Cannon C.
