IMF Proposes Punishing Dissidents by Lowering Their Credit Score if They Go to Bad Websites
Big League Politics ^ | December 18, 2020 | Shane Trejo

A new white paper from the globalist International Monetary Fund (IMF) is calling for dissidents to have their credit score lowered if they view websites that are arbitrarily deemed to be harmful.

The plan is outlined in a blog written by Arnoud Boot, Peter Hoffmann, Luc Laeven and Lev Ratnovski. They are pitching the Orwellian notion as a breakthrough in financial technology (Fintech).

“Recent research documents that, once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior than traditional credit assessment methods,” they wrote, claiming that “the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases” would determine a person’s credit score under their dystopian vision....

As it is, getting the really fine soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information would other institutions would be its own can of worms
They'd jump at the chance. Those fact checker warnings aren't having the desired effect.

That is exactly what China does to it’s citizens. Visit the wrong websites, or post the wrong viewpoints on social media, and your social credit score goes down, and you may not be able to purchase a plane ticket, might not get into college, etc.

These are the kind of guys that should be made to forage for berries and nuts to stay alive until they can be made to understand that no one put them on this earth to control the lives of others.

Why limit it to ‘dissidents’ and website visits?

We could call it, I don’t know, ‘social credit’. Everyone will have a score depending on how they behave, who they talk to, etc. I believe one nation already has such a system in place so it should be easy to implement their system worldwide.

If you worry about your credit score, you are already enslaved to the usurers who run the world.

This is a permutation of the existing Communist Chinese “social credit” system.

Would be a shame if those four authors had some alternative negative social punishment scheme forced on them.

Dammed shame.

Because paying one's bills in full and on time is not relevant to credit scores.

But personal and political interests are. Sure. Of course.

Just more globalist sociopaths gleefully spouting their lunatic dreams of power.

They are embedded everywhere in national and multinational organizations.

Forget the politics, we are surrounded by clinical sociopaths and psychopaths everywhere.

(I should add that every player we've seen in the anti-Trump coups appear to be a clinical sociopath who's risen to some kind of power, which is not at all unusual in society.)

This is the kind of talk that will drive more and more people to use VPN’s.
A good VPN keeps you invisible while browsing and commenting on any website but, purchases you make cannot be hidden. Your online purchases using your cards are traceable to you.

Excellent point.

It sounds like you found yourself a good tagline.

What about bitcoin or other cryptocurrency?

Does that protect your identity?

Yes everyone should be using VPN's nowadays. PIA lets you pay with gift cards which if you buy them with cash makes you untraceable. Then connect through countries that are lax or that safeguard your privacy such as Switzerland, Iceland, Romania, and Spain.

Buy a Visa gift card with cash.
