EU President demands more government control to counter 'misinformation'
Rebel News ^ | 16 Jan, 2024 | Alex Dhaliwal

'Our freedom comes with risks,' European Union (EU) President Ursula von der Leyen told the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. 'The top concern is ... disinformation and misinformation [as] the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner.'

The European Commission’s pursuit of digital ID on a global scale became none more apparent than during President Ursula von der Leyen’s remarks to the globalist elite at the World Economic Forum (WEF).

"The top concern for the next two years is not conflict, or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation," she said in Davos, Switzerland on January 16.

The 2024 WEF Global Risks Report says addressing 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' take priority, even over extreme weather events, war, terrorist attacks and inflation.

"The boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner, and this is even more important in the era of generative AI," von der Leyen conveyed.

"The World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report puts Artificial Intelligence as one of the top potential risks of the next decade," she continued. "Tackling disinformation and misinformation has been our focus since the beginning of my mandate."

At the G20 Summit last September, the Commission president called for a global regulatory body to oversee Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital ID systems, akin to the regulations for vaccine passports. She underscored the need to harness and guide this technology 'responsibly.'

In 2020, the European Union (EU) presented the first-ever law on AI in a bid to facilitate innovation while building trust.

"But we need more," she said, "What the world does now will shape our future. I believe that Europe — and its partners — should develop a new global framework for AI risks."

Von der Leyen has also long advocated for a digital ID system, similar to their COVID vaccine passport developed through their partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO).

"The model was so functional and so trusted that 51 countries on 4 continents adopted it for free," she claimed.

"The WHO uses it as a global standard to facilitate mobility in times of health threats," von der Leyen continued, stating it holds centralized access to personal details, including credit card information, driver's license, and passport data.

Both organizations aim to bolster "global capacities" and "resilience" for future pandemics with their sights set firmly on a global digital 'vaccine passport' by May 2024.

The Commission pledged technical expertise to the WHO "to encourage maximum global uptake and participation."

That’s code for them wanting only THEIR disinformation.

Who are the gate-keepers of disinformation?
Some of the biggest propagandists themselves. That’s who.

“the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner.”

What does that even mean?

disinformation and misinformation

In other words, anything the leftist elites disagree with. But Freepers know that...

The boundary between European style democracy and full blown fascism is getting thinner and thinner. I think that is actually a lie as they have blended into each other.

They have been the same for a thousand years. They are Yourapeons. The rulers at the top will tell the peasants what to think and punish those who talk differently amongst themselves. That’s why my ancestors left their tyranny and came to America.

Now we have some folks trying to do the same thing here.

You will just have to get a bar code tattooed to buy or sell anything.

Many of us have covered this here: 666 in Hebrew is vav vav vav. Look up what "vav" is: ו‎ (vav) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_numerals. Looks an awful lot like a bar. So imagine you're a shepard and God shows you a bar code. Sure would look like vav vav vav ... with spaces.

Just saying...

(digital ID on a global scale)

(Global digital ID system....The Mark of the Beast.)

Exactly, friend. I don't post these for fun. Just to warn the as-yet unbelieving world 🌎🌍 as to what is coming.

I can only pray 🙏🙏🙏 that it gets shared all over the world 🌎🌍 before Satan's goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐 make it nigh-impossible to share the Word of God.

Say that you don’t mean that!

Global Warming is an existential threat to the Earth!

/S

They must really be afraid that too much truth is getting out to the general population.

I would surmise:

As they squelch online speech, people will start meeting in churches, taverns, etc. Maybe even forming a samizdat to challenge the official 'narrative'. In context of digital IDs, they can break up/infiltrate those groups to prevent people from communicating and/or organizing effectively.

Its completely antithetical to freedom of the press and freedom of assembly.

The globalists love the CCP model of total control and they love the Panda's smiling, no nonsense tyranny.

And, of course, both the CCP and the globalists are hard core communists.

Yes, more than likely IMHO.

The Greek word behind “Mark” in Revelation 13:16 is “charagma” - a tattoo of ownership.

More later.

I think it means the domain over which they think they have functional control.
