The titans of global capitalism, including Bill Gates, are exploiting the COVID crisis to institute social credit-style digital ID systems across the West.
The death by starvation of Etwariya Devi, a 67-year-old widow from the rural Indian state of Jharkhand, might have passed without notice had it not been part of a more widespread trend.
Like 1.3 billion of her fellow Indians, Devi had been pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system called Aadhaar in order to access public services, including her monthly allotment of 25kg of rice. When her fingerprint failed to register with the shoddy system, Devi was denied her food ration.
Throughout the course of the following three months in 2017, she was repeatedly refused food until she succumbed to hunger, alone in her home.
Premani Kumar, a 64-year-old woman also from Jharkhand, met the same demise as Devi, dying of hunger and exhaustion the same year after the Aadhaar system transferred her pension payments to another person without her permission, while cutting off her monthly food rations.
A similarly cruel fate was reserved for Santoshi Kumari, an 11-year-old girl, also from Jharkhand, who reportedly died begging for rice after her family’s ration card was canceled because it had not been linked to their Aadhaar digital ID.
These three heart-rending casualties were among a spate of deaths in rural India in 2017 which came as a direct result of the Aadhaar digital ID system.
With over one billion Indians in its database, Aadhaar is the largest biometric digital ID program ever constructed. Besides serving as a portal to government services, it tracks users’ movements between cities, their employment status and purchasing records. It is a de facto social credit system that serves as the key entry point for accessing services in India.
Having branded Aadhaar’s creator, fellow billionaire Nandan Nilekani, as a “hero,” initiatives backed by tech oligarch Bill Gates have long sought to bring the “Aadhaar approach to other countries.” With the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, Gates and other mavens of the digital ID industry have an unprecedented opportunity to introduce their programs into the wealthy countries of the Global North.
For those yearning for an end to pandemic-related restrictions, credential programs certifying their vaccination against COVID-19 have been marketed as the key to reopening the economy and restoring their personal freedom. But the implementation of immunity passports is also accelerating the establishment of a global digital identity infrastructure.
As the military surveillance firm and NATO contractor Thales recently put it, vaccine passports “are a precursor to digital ID wallets.”
And as the CEO of iProove, a biometric ID company and Homeland Security contractor, emphasized to Forbes, “The evolution of vaccine certificates will actually drive the whole field of digital ID in the future. So, therefore, this is not just about Covid, this is about something even bigger.”
For the national security state, digital immunity passports promise unprecedented control over populations wherever such systems are implemented. Ann Cavoukian, the former privacy commissioner of Ontario, Canada has described the vaccine passport system already active in her province as “a new, inescapable web of surveillance with geolocation data being tracked everywhere.”
For tech oligarchs such Bill Gates and neoliberal institutions such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), digital ID and digital currency systems have already enabled the extraction of unbelievable profits in the Global South, where hundreds of millions of people remain “unbanked” and therefore outside the sphere of electronic payments systems.

TechnoTotalitarianism.
They built the infrastructure for the ChiComs over the last 20 years and it’s been field tested and implemented there.
But here is not China and implementing it openly as control mechanism for a one party dictatorship as The ChiComs did wouldn’t fly here so it needs to be due to health.
Health.
Next security.
Later overt political control after being eased in for ostensibly benign purposes.
Yup
gonna sit this one out too

Gates may have the idea that he’s making up for all his criminal behaviour while building Microsoft, but in reality he’s just making his chain of sins longer and longer. Can’t help himself.
In bondage to a social credit score system is freedom. Gotcha…..
Restrictions imposed by the government themselves. They talk and act as if the restrictions are something that happened out of their control, like it couldn’t be helped..
And as the CEO of iProove, a biometric ID company and Homeland Security contractor, emphasized to Forbes, “The evolution of vaccine certificates will actually drive the whole field of digital ID in the future. So, therefore, this is not just about Covid, this is about something even bigger.”
Yeah, the Mark of the Beast.
People need to grow their own food so they are not dependent on the largess of the government.
Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Everything.
Google is making it now that you have to have your phone with you to log in.
They say it’s for our security, we won’t get hacked.
But it is a level of control and surveillance that did not exist earlier.
I still remember seeing him when he was just a young man (still single) walking up the steps of a movie theater in Seattle. Dressed like any other guy. When he told his parents he was leaving college they were so concerned they set aside money in case he was a complete failure.
He may have been brilliant in the one arena he is brilliant for. But everything else. Pure Ego BS. I think you're right on!!
Now they are talking about vaxx status on your drivers license as well as a bunch of others things such as financial and carbon credit score.

665, not yet 666

Imagine Her Thighness had won instead of 45. America would likely be in her second term of office.
Now imagine how much worse the current state of affairs would be under that situation.
Things probably would have peaked at a much slower boil as time wouldn't have been such a critical issue.
Seems like something big was planned and it had to take place during this four year term of office, thus the Pants Pooper in Chief.
What that something was/is...I don't know, but IMO the virus is just a smoke screen.
There are so many moving parts it's hard to nail anything down as "the" end motive. /tin foil hat
I would love to be in the minds of the game theory guys right now to see what they make of things.
And yet he fails to say what that bigger something is.
1) How useful would that really be WRT my chances of getting a severe case?
2) Can I trust the government and medical/insurance organizations not to leak my information? I don't want a Scarlet Letter.
Hmmm... A fingerprint or an optical scan...

Unfortunately, it is really fascism. So sad people aren’t to be told the truth.
This "immunity passport" is just the initial step toward monitoring and surveilling the citizenry.
The fact that Brandon has mandated the injection for everyone is an act of entrapment into establishing the passport system. It is designed that way !
Just as with the all citizenry mandated vaccine "jab", which is currently going through judicial review,
if allowed, the passport will be used also for unintended purposes and will have unexpected consequences in the age of ever-increasing surveillance.
