This is BAD, whether or not Putin is a WEF puppet or not is less important. Russia, putting in place a system as the WEF has demanded, for any reason is bad, because it's the framework by which new totalitarian powers will be secured.

The only reason to implement something like this is to have total population control. Sure they claim that this will never replace paper IDs -- until it does!

They will "soon" no longer accept paper IDs for certain necessary services. That was always the plan. The digital ID won't replace your paper ID, you just won't be able to use the paper ID...

Knowing that this has been coming makes it no less painful to contemplate.

All that is left to the imagination is the manner in which this weapon will be wielded.

The pattern of micro-managing taxcattle lives is quite clear. The Russian regime is in a sense even more sophisticated than its peers in the terrorist USEUNATO conglomerate, since Kremlin micro-management deals more with geopolitical partisanship over Moscow's global role, while the US-led terrorists are more parochial in the sense they're working to keep their populations divided over issues like racialism, LGBT, feminism, migrants, etc., apart from the classical socioeconomic divisions inherent to the reigning system in its different versions the world over.

Given their strict adherence, which seems no less fanatical than any Abrahamic-brand cultism, to "sustainable development goals" as espoused by US & Co., the UN/WHO, IMF/WB/BIS, etc., the Chinese/Russian regime is likely to come up with a sensor to shove up your ass to monitor gas emissions before anyone among Uncle Schwab's network of young global leaders.

There you are, Riley, i was one again getting concerned.

Quoting Lawrence Welk,"Wonderful, just wonderful." Digital IDs, tied to CBDC, medical records,..... what could possibly go wrong? How could this even remotely usher in the total surveillance state? 😂 Putin huggers will have even more explaining to do. I now see the more desperate ones on Facebook resort to assertions that Putin is waging the old fight of Tartaria against the Khazarian Mafia. SMH. Thanks so much for *keeping it real*.

Don't knock it. I lost my phone in Spain and had no note of anyone's numbers (as you do!). My son reported me missing to Interpol and they were able to find me in 11 minutes because I had a chip in my British passport. The Men in Black gave me a note of my son's phone number so I was able to get back in touch with my family.

ps

Loved that short film.

hopefully you are able to see the issue in its complexity, many negatives might have certain positives, a few positives not outweighing the frightening amount and impact of the negatives. For example - extended stay in a "work camp" would certainly help obesity pandemic many countries are battling these days :)

Digital ID give those in power an ability to surveil and ultimately control the flock, dream of every dictator. And if they went this far, then you can rest assured their surveillance and control mechanisms will be able to crush you from all possible angles the moment one merely questions their actions and they won't hesitate to use these powers that are coming.

The point I made flew right over your head. I guess I was too subtle.

We Brits have had chips in our passports since 2007 and we were not informed about them. It was only because I went AWOL in Spain that I found out about it. Given that I have been an activist since 1969, one might expect that "these powers" would have curtailed my activities or caused me to be incarcerated but that never happened.

“The Olympians are weakening the moral fibre of the nations and demoralising workers in the labour classes by creating mass unemployment. As jobs dwindle due to the post industrial zero growth policies introduced by the Club of Rome, demoralised and discouraged workers have resorted to alcohol and drugs. The youth of the land being encouraged by means of what they think is grass roots music and illegal drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and destroying the family unit. In this regard the Committee of 300 commissioned Tavistock Institute to prepare a blueprint as to how this could be achieved. Tavistock directed Stanford Research to undertake the work under the direction of Professor Willis Harmon. This work later became known as “The Aquarian Conspiracy.”

The idea is to keep people everywhere from deciding their own destinies by means of one created crisis after another and then “managing” such crises. This will confuse and demoralise the population to the extent where, faced with too many choices, apathy on a massive scale will result. In the case of the United States, an agency for crisis management is already in place. It is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)." ~ from my recent novel, https://francesleader.substack.com/p/how-hard-can-it-be-b74 (Chapter 6 - The Olympians)

I may have forgotten some, but my actions and writing have attracted four death threats, several actual attempts, and four or five action posturings that went nowhere, for one reason or another. One failed to exploit his opportunity and was shot dead by his wife two weeks later, with his own gun; the ultimate irony. Seeing I have survived, I guess Lisa would see me also as a wish washy ancient hippie. I kinda like that. It makes a good cover and a fuzzier profile.

Not implying anything, I belive that's your genuine impression, but chip inside of your passport probably had nothing to do with it. 'Chips' aren't like intrinsically connected to some free/limitless energy grid. That (them using the chip to locate you) would require NFC equipment present everywhere around us etc. Maybe someone scanned your passport, or your hotel gave them info about you etc.

I was staying in a friend's house in the outskirts of Madrid. The Men in Black TOLD me how they traced me. They were very proud, charming young men and yeah, they did wear dark sunglasses and black suits!

Expand full comment

Doesn't really matter what man wearing whichever color says. What are you suggesting, they were able to use satellites to scann a NFC chip?

Expand full comment

Absolutely. I did not know it was in my passport until they explained how they had traced me.

Expand full comment

You can't really scan a chip with a satellite. Eg GPS doesn't work by satellites finding you. It's your device, literally a computer power by a battery or smth, with help of some online service, which track locations of the satellites. These small chips w/o batteries usually only store info. Can't perform computations, don't have RAM etc. They can be powered by some device (Theoretically w/things like 5G could work), but even if satellites were able to provide energy, a receiver would have to be very close. Such a chip is unable of emitting signal miles, or hundreds of meters away.

Some buildings have digital keys which do not have batteries. We use them by waving them in front of a terminal at the side of the door. My son (an electrician) assures me that locating me was a doddle for the Alphabettis, even back then in 2007.

I am sure you aren't calling me a liar..... or are you?

Expand full comment

Did you tell the authorities your address eg at the airport? I find it incredible that a chip in a passport could be detected by a satellite as there is no power in the passport. The other thought might be they know all about you as they can read your communications such as emails and texts so they looked back through them and you said where you were staying. They were probably amused at their chip story, if it was a cover story.

No - you are wrong. I travelled by truck. I lived in that truck. I never showed my passport when entering Spain because at the time we were in the EU. I had left my vehicle at my farm in the mountains and travelled into Madrid by bus with my two dogs. I did not use emails and I had lost my phone in the south of Spain months before my son got concerned enough to call Interpol.

THEY DO HAVE SATELLITES WHICH CAN PING THE CHIPS IN OUR PASSPORTS.

What can I say? You are not aware that we have lived in the panopticon for decades..... sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Wow, I had no idea this technology already existed and been deployed. I guess privacy has long become nothing but a theoretical concept. My biggest fear, which is being realized in Canada if Trudeau has his way, is that we'll all have to use digital IDs to access medical and other services, and that will be used to force everyone to get jabbed with whatever poison they want.

If you've handed over all of your contact phone numbers to centralized command and control, and you're relieved when they "gave me a note of my son's phone number" - you have to also understand that centralized command and control could exercise the same power to WITHHOLD any data and information from you if they've deemed that you've done something wrong or illegal.

Are you OK? At what point did I hand over all of my contacts to centralised command and control?

I am talking about a cheap Nokia mobile phone and it was 2007, long before smart phones. What you SHOULD be noticing is the fact that I had a chip in my passport and did not know it was there...... 16 years ago.....

In the late 80s, we had a resistance called Stop The City. It was very clandestine and we succeeded in stopping the city a couple of days a week until the Police rounded up the leaders and chemically coshed them under the Mental Health Act.

I continued with my undercover sabotage.

Later, I think it was after 9/11 the City created The Ring of Steel which is an intense surveillance grid protecting the City. Nothing crosses its border without being observed.

Young activists in London have never been able to stage the kind of disruption we created back in the 70s and 80s. Few of them infiltrate to perform undercover ops.

Does anyone know how Belarus is doing? I heard they have no qr codes, no vax mandates, no mask mandates and Lukashenko dismissed covid as a "psychosis".

Great read, I think Belarus is actually one of the few countries who still stand against this great scam. However they may not last very long. If Belarus chooses to disobey Putin then it will end in

1) Kremlin withdraws support from Luka's floundering regime. Belarus falls into civil war

2) Invasion from NATO or from Russia

3) coup

I don't think Lukashenko is with the WEF. Never seen him in a meeting with them (at least not closed doors). However they seem to be greasing the wheels on his regime

In Serbia there is a digital id called 'euprava' which has been in place for years now. Its heavily pushed and promoted but thus far its done such a terrible job that even people who love and support things like these have turned away from it in disgust. I want to say that maybe 5% of people use it heavily and maybe another 10% rarely sporadically(my numbers,i could be way off). In typical Serbian fashion the program was likely made by someone who is related to someone in the government,knows little about IT and simply took the money from the budget.
