Dr. Malone brings up a good topic. I haven't thought long on it, but given the proclivity of the Left in the US to think a social credit system (run by them, of course) is a good idea, and seems to be getting pushed to some extent in California, New York, and other rats nests, it may be increasingly important to put some pretty strong safeguards to prevent such a system from being implemented.

If anything, what happened in Canada in the aftermath of the Freedom Convoy could happen in the US. Imagine if such a thing were then put cross borders.
We could be in a siruation where a Trudeau decides he doesn't like what a segment of Americans stands for, and if such a structure were in place in the US, prevail upon his counterparts to punish people whi aren't even his constituancy.

This enables a small group of people to truly visit harassment or worse on some group of people without accountability, which I think is at the root of this (obvious to me) WEF initiative.

Just posting as food for thought.

Injured it, but destroyed it? No.

The only thing that will destroy it is a real alternative in banking.

That is a serious issue, because somehow a portion of that sector has to be willing to resist government overreach.

Additionally, elections have to matter to stop people who hate the lawful systems the West built up over the hundreds of years it has.

We’re fighting the beast and there are people who have no morals at all.

They are arguing for everyone to have IDs!
So everyone will be able to show ID for voting

Yes. They do want to implement it here and Covid is a vehicle.

It’s bad. In China one can be denied access to transportation, for example.

All transactions are through the cell phone.

Here in the U.S. we are moving there in things like the Clipper card in San Francisco which is a card for all public transport. It now must be used. One cannot, for example, but a BART ticket, but must use a Clipper card.

The Clipper card has an app and people are encouraged to use the app.

Currently one can buy a physical Clipper card with cash from a vending machine, but how long will that last?

Perhaps due to “climate emergency” all gas will need to be bought with Clipper cards, or the like.

It would never end.

That’s the kind of ‘food’ one should avoid at all costs. Malone is a nut and a kook.

Justin Trudeau has destroyed a lot of things.

He’s trying to deflect from the murderous stabs. (And if what I read is correct, perhaps his company’s role in pushing the deadly Remdesivir into its deadly, repurposed use.)

Perhaps one of the inventors of mRNA technology should stick to medical/human biology rather than indulge us in conspiratorial political claptrap.

We have had a social credit system for years in northern New Hampshire, administered by Tri County CAP (Community Action Program).

You get credits for volunteer work, such as helping with Meals on Wheels, driving senior citizens around, etc.

You just have to do it as part of a non profit club registered with them.

You keep track of your hours and what you did and they enter it in the system.

You just have to do it through a 501C non profit group registered with them.

I tried to get a meeting set up with a representative of the program and our snowmobile club, but it hasn't happened yet because of scheduling problems for both.

If your local shooting range, fish and game club, etc., is a non profit you should be able to arrange to get credits.

There are both sinister and good sides to this.

It helps get retirees off their duffs doing something useful and contributing. As long as it is a positive thing, it's good idea.

However, things could go bad in a heartbeat.

Suppose you have few, or no social credits?

No food for you, no medical or dental, you can't register your vehicle or buy gas, you name it.

Corporate America is already functioning under the social credit system. It’s the ESG score, for enviromental, social and governance. And yes, it’s all about a company’s performance on climate change, diversity, inclusion and political stance. A low score can result in attacks by the Left and make survival difficult. A good score can earn perks. Next up is implementing the system for citizens. It’s being planned and organized behind the scenes. You can thank Young Global Leaders for knowing what is best for you.

One has to wonder why the WEF is still breathing. They are essentially attacking every nation in the world. And yet no one says anything.
