It's funny to think how our grandparents or great-grandparents were free from this sort of thing. I'm sure my grandmother (born 1910) probably never even had a paper driver's license until the late 1920s or the 1930s. I wonder if she even had a birth certificate. Maybe a Christening certificate or something. But definitely nothing you had to show at the bar/airport/courthouse/bank/etc. And I think my great-grandmother lived into the 1950s but probably never drove a "horseless carriage." So she probably never even had a single form of ID.
Wondering just how different it is - or WILL be - in the US .... Will life there be the same as life in Russia, in the very near future? Where would be best to settle, I wonder?
A gun is not by itself evil, and neither are digital currencies or digital IDs. The Netherlands has had a Digital ID for many years, and if it is used for evil purposes, I have not seen it.
Like you write, I suspect the crashing economy and supply chains will make digital IDs unfeasible, and not just in Russia.
The cattle has been tagged and when some people disagree with the local 'big pharma' representation to implement mass house arrests or other unhealthy rules, then the police shoot them down while in the streets.
Those who implemented such surveillance tech are evil, so what can be expected?
Did you people of the Netherlands really needed this tagging in the first place?
Who cashed on this tagging policy?
Who is it beneficial to? the large majority of the people? a tiny upper class?
Wouldn't we be better off without digital tagging and our private data harvested in all seasons for maybe very nefarious reasons?
Safe and effective... I am happy without, as well I guess hundred billions of Chinese who have not totally been digitally tagged yet by the almighty state party. I have heard that a lot of people in China were not appreciating the graces of the local power.
ALL "ID"s mark you as the property of the issuer, unless your are adept at the inside baseball of Commercial Law, and take several steps... and even then - good luck getting them to acknowledge that you did so. The tags on a cattle's ear don't kill it, or make it produce milk, but they establish the clear right to ownership of the cow and the ensuing products.
I suppose as Europeans, people in the Netherlands have no real claim to the freedom that God gave to mankind...because he left them in the care, and under the control of some "sovereign" monarch, or other... But the people in the united states of America have a good claim to that freedom as a part of their nativity. See the first SCOTUS Chief Justice, John Jay's written opinion in Chisholm vs. Georgia (it's the last and best one, in the records of the case).
The chief sin of King David, in the Bible, wasn't murdering Uriah and taking his wife... No. It was numbering the tribes of Israel. Naming and numbering are the traditional hallmarks of ownership. This was a sin, because those were God's people - not his.
QR code digital IDs are problematic for the following reasons>
1) The people pushing this QR code digital ID agenda are evil.
2) A digital ID can be hacked and copied (digital twin).
A government in collusion with big tech will build "back doors" for hacking. If one makes the government "upset", then your QR code digital ID can be posted on the dark web by the CIA for example. Then a nefarious person buys the QR code and creates havoc by going on a spending spree for example.
3) The virtual digital QR code ID can be hacked and swapped for another QR code digital ID.
In other words, the real person will NOT match their virtual ID person. The nightmare of being swapped for a real criminal would be agonizing.
4) The plan for QR code digital IDs WILL BE based on conditions such as a social credit point score, injections, "green rewards based on *behavior modification*.
5) What is the fail/safe, if one refuses to buy a cell phone, or if one has their cell phone malfunction or if the cell phone battery becomes exhausted at the most inopportune time.? (At an airport for example for a romantic rendezvous).
6) QR code digital IDs can be easily tracked and traced. My private life is an open book HOWEVER I do NOT like being a "target" of the government if I refuse to be injected by poison.
7) Probably another reason that escapes me at the moment.
One final note, ONLY IF a good entity was behind the digital ID (like Riley for example) and the above reasons were null and void, then my suspicions would be alleviated.
Putin blasts global Big Pharma for pushing their products in Russia
MOSCOW, June 27. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized foreign drug companies for pushing their products through local medical institutions and via doctors in Russia using their deep-pocketed resources.
"Unfortunately, foreign pharmaceutical companies attracted some heads of our medical institutions, and medical workers in 30 regions. And they pushed their medicines [on to the Russian market], paying quite a lot of money for it. We saw that under just one scheme they doled out 500 million [rubles]," he said at a meeting with Yury Chikhanchin, Head of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service.
yup, an interesting statement. promising but at the same time difficult to take at face value. I have mixed feelings.
“I want to wish you success not only in the Russian market, but also in global markets, and express the hope that the new year will be favorable for your company and for solving the problems that we are now talking about,” Putin addressed the head of AstraZeneca. -- December 2020.
The last sentence is interesting: "We saw that under just one scheme they doled out 500 million [rubles]," he said at a meeting with Yury Chikhanchin, Head of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service." I doubt that AZ doled out the bribes. The people from the Russian pharma oligarchy may have done the bribing. Would be interesting to see if anybody is prosecuted.
ya agreed. I mean, if this is about punishing regional administrators or doctors for taking kickbacks while Russia's big pharma oligarchy continues to scam everyone, not sure if it's really what we need. Will look into this though. certainly it is newsworthy.
The line about the sanctions "bouncing off Russia's chiselled and muscular economy" had me laughing so hard I struggled to concentrate on the rest of the article.
It's great that Edward is so adept with Anglophone comedic sensibilities as well as Russian. We're lucky to have his tireless reportage.
Right. And Ukraine launched facial recognition, like Russia. And BTW cattle tag is a very large concept. Cattle tag only means a more severe control on populations and every single one of us. My cats have a microchip. FacePay is a form of cattle tag, pay with the palm is cattle tag too:
And there could be another way for them to push for biometric control: protection of banking data.
We must not be surprise if one day our bank accounts will be emptied by a cyber attack, watch this video and the marvellous complicity between Tony Blair and Herman Graf on the topic

The future is murky, at best.
Thank the cosmos for small favors and unintended beneficial consequences of sanctions. Great post!

Respect
The Netherlands didn't use the old Digital ID to enforce the Vax. They implemented a new one called "Corona Entry Pass".
The old one just makes everything more efficient, like signing your tax form online, requesting a new passport, opening a bank account online.
Good Digital ID's are useful for everyone. Chinese are also very happy with theirs. They don't associate it with evil projects at all.

Thanks, Riley.

What's the Russian phrase for laughter through tears? смех сквозь слёзы
Why? I think it is rather the opposite. They have to create as much chaos as possible for the people to „accept“ the brave new world

There are different ways to push for biometric control: wars, Covid, terrorism, and climate change.
Don't worry, the East and the West get along very well.
Tous les chemins mènent à Rome.
And there could be another way for them to push for biometric control: protection of banking data.
