CBDC Digital Currencies: A Recipe for Global Slavery

Alex Newman explains that the Deep State, acting through institutions such as the Bank for International Settlements, is working to foist Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) on humanity under the guise of safety, security, convenience, and social justice, but the real goal is abolishing privacy and implementing total control over the world. Once the system is in place, the war on cash will accelerate until everyone—the Deep State hopes—is forced to use the controlled digital currency systems. The Biden administration and the Federal Reserve, along with governments and central banks around the world, are working rapidly to bring this diabolical system into place—and the goal of “control” has been made clear by leading figures in this movement. It is critical that Americans resist.

QR Code Required to Enter DC Whole Foods and May Be Used to Implement Social Credit System

Whole Foods is owned by Amazon. Video shows entry at a Whole Foods market in Washington, DC with gates requiring a QR code on customers’ phones to enter the store. A sign advises customers that “cameras and sensors register what you take and put back”. Customers can skip checkout as purchases are tracked and processed through cell phones. Buying groceries can be linked to a social credit score similar to China’s system. The video creator plans to boycott Whole Foods.

Other grocery stores track customers through their rewards cards, store apps, and in-store video surveillance.

Update: There appears to be an entry gate for customers who want to use a register to pay for their items.




Silicon Valley Is Building A Chinese-Style Social-Credit System in the US

Tim Pool explains that the US is creating a social-credit system, parallel to the one in China. The government is becoming obsolete, because most of our social functions are transacted through private companies, as much of our economy is reliant on the internet and large multinational companies have no allegiance to the people. China’s social-credit system punishes people for some behaviors while points are awarded for other more desirable actions.

In the US, life insurance companies can base premiums on what they find on social media accounts. PatronScan scans IDs at bars and restaurants and identifies ‘troublemakers’. A “public” list is shared among all PatronScan customers who then can refuse service to individuals with objectionable behavior. -GEG

Venezuela Building a ‘Social Credit’ Tracking System Based on Chinese Model

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro recruited a ZTE telecom company, which has ties to the Chinese government, to implement a social credit system through its ration cards as a way to deal with his country’s poverty due to bad socialist policies.  Venezuela’s new system will be based on the Chinese model that tracks, rates and punishes citizens’ behavior.  Venezuelans have needed a card for access to subsidized food, healthcare, and gasoline since 2014, and the new cards will also monitor users’ social, political, and economic behavior.

Chinese telecom giant ZTE is helping the socialist dictatorship in Venezuela implement a social credit system similar to Beijing’s through its ration cards, Reuters revealed Thursday.

According to Reuters, Nicolás Maduro regime’s recent release of the “Carnet de la Patria,” or “Fatherland Card,” to all citizens forms part of a plan to develop widespread control over the population. Venezuelans have needed a card for access to subsidized food, healthcare, and gasoline since 2014. The Maduro regime has recruited China to help the cards expand their use not just to track what citizens eat, but their social, political, and economic behavior.

Last year, the report claims, the Venezuelan regime spent $70 million on hiring ZTE to help develop their project in a supposed effort to bolster “national security.” Now, a team of ZTE engineers is reportedly working in Caracas at a special unit within the Venezuelan state telecommunications company Cantv to help build a more sophisticated database.

Some of the information already stored on the database reportedly includes “birthdays, family information, employment and income, property owned, medical history, state benefits received, presence on social media, membership of a political party and whether a person voted.”

Maduro first announced that the “Fatherland card” was replacing standard rations a year ago, declaring it essential to “build the new Venezuela” while encouraging people to sign up. An estimated 18 million Venezuelans already have the card. Those still loyal to the regime reportedly benefit from meager cash rewards given to those who best perform their civil duties.

China Expands Program to Rate Citizen Behavior and Punish Those with Low Scores

Chinese authorities have been using a “social credit” system that rates citizens to determine if they may purchase plane or train tickets. Other restrictions now will be added as the program expands. In 2017, more than six-million people accrued penalties for “bad” behavior. The system rates users on personal characteristics, behavior and preference, social relationships. It draws data from a person’s shopping history, use of free time, and complaints from others. It has the appearance of being impartial and based on public demand but, in reality, it is merely a sophisticated method of engineering human behavior with unlimited exceptions for those in authority who run the system. -GEG

China will begin relying on its new “social credit” system to determine whether low-tier citizens are allowed to purchase plane and train tickets, according to the country’s National Development and Reform Commission.

The Chinese government announced a new initiative in fall 2017 to begin rating its citizens in a social credit system, penalizing people for criminal behavior as well as what they buy, do, and say, The Verge reported Tuesday. Beginning May 1, the country will implement President Xi Jinping’s policy of “once untrustworthy, always restricted” approach to social engineering.

“It will forge a public opinion environment where keeping trust is glorious,” the policy announcement states. “It will strengthen sincerity in government affairs, commercial sincerity, social sincerity and the construction of judicial credibility.

The Supreme People’s Court announced in early 2017 that 6.15 million people had already been slapped with penalties for bad actions, Reuters reported. China approached several companies to use data for the system, including Sesame Credit, an insurance and loan company that also affiliated with the widely-used payment app AliPay. The system assigns users values between 350 and 950 points, based on five factors: credit history, ability to fulfill a contract, personal characteristics, behavior and preference, and social relationships, according to WIRED.
