And now, our own government, knowing full well they would not be able to impose a national “passport” for movement under the guise of “protecting us” from some pathogen, are pursuing a parallel course with a national electronic currency.
So instead of turning our CR code red using a national passport as is done in Communist China which prevents Chinese citizens from even leaving their homes, they would turn our personal electronic purses red, denying us our own money to buy gas, airplane or bus tickets, or even food.
Anyone who thinks that won’t happen isn’t paying attention.
The US did the same thing in 1929. We even had troops kill veterans for protesting their post-WWI conditions. Governments are all pretty terrible to their people. Our Nation is becoming a totalitarian regime as we speak.
