The other half of the pincer movement is the insane 'security requirements' for merchant / public utility / government IT logins.
People are driven to want these "Marks of the Beast" due to bewildering 2FA bullshit associated with online transactions.
It's really a foolproof tactic for 'them': Everyone wants "ease-of-use", right?
People who
still comply bcz "what else can we do, we need soap" logic
...should be first up to be forcefully yanked out of their 'spreadsheet farm', HR office, or Gender-Studies TA "jobs" and conscripted into the 21st-Century WPA/CCC.
Perhaps once all the illegals are chased out, there'll be an opening at a US-based "soap" factory...
Ah yes; the easily "forge-able" cardboard cards...
Next time you're "Googling", do a search for "Honey Pot computing".
Here in the US the "federal crime to spoof" Covid Vaccine Cards® have been featured all over the internet in .pdf form including government sites as early as March of 2021.
It's almost as though someone was dangling them in front of the, shall we say, more impulsive in an effort to set up dupes for later 'sting' operations.
Of course the up-coming 24/7 Media campaign of covering the 'flagrant falsifications' will most certainly "necessitate" a biometric, 'secure verification' immune to "tampering"...
...which was the objective all along.
So; when/if this were to actually happen, who does everyone think will end up at the top of this mountain?
If that occurs, then the "normie-con 'right'" deserves to be jettisoned the way the Vax-Karens were.
"Red-Flag Laws" are the most anti-Constitutional weapon in the 'woke' arsenal. As with their predecessor the "No-Fly List", they lack due-process protections, the right to confront accusers, and the 'rules of evidence' descend to anonymous gossip.
The only correct response is "I will never surrender my rights because of what someone else did. There will be no negotiation on this."
The French knew 300 years ago New Orleans was going to be periodically washed away, and some elements proposed an upstream location that would endure for centuries. But what the hell, it was just 2-story buildings, and they had lots of slaves to rebuild them, so they went with it.
The "decentralized" mantra isn't only unworkable, but it's been fundamentally dishonest since forever.
How are you going to move your 'blockchain' without the government-monopoly "internet"? That looks pretty 'centralized' to me.
Once you're locked out of 1984.net, the only alternative is schlepping your 'blockchain' around on USB-sticks between air-gapped laptops in BarterTowns.
coming soon to a police precinct near you.
It's first use in Dallas was in 2016. I'm sure they've advanced the tech they had at the time.
You'd think the Chinese would have learned after the humiliations they suffered at the hands of the (((you-know-who)))-financed "British Empire".
I thought the Asians were supposed to have "long memories". Guess not in this case.
The last time this was mentioned, there was a sarcastic comment about how "skilled" the remote-control camera operator was at precision real-time panning, considering the 240K-mile time-delay.
That "skill" should have been the tipoff to the 2+ Billion gamers who' struggle with laggy controller-drivers and ground-based internet connections fifty years later, and "TV professionals" who can't track a punt or foul-ball..
Just pay 'em off in full when you get the bill. In the old days, that was known as a "Charge-Card". Milk the benefits:
- Charge-Backs
- Fraud protection
- Some card companies have "cash-back" percentages.
- Turbocharges your credit-rating.
"Cloud" = Muh Beep-Boop Futurez!!
The 'cloud' is the anti-Future: It's the return of 1960 "Time-Sharing", before there were "Personal Computers". The only things lacking are punch-cards and big reels of magnetic tape.
The real 'future' is exactly the way it was in 1960. Your dumb terminal running rented software, your 'data' held hostage for monthly ransom payments to some GloboHomo conglomerate. The only 'new features' are more:
- Batteries
- Radios
- DRM
I guess I'm not "smart and capable" enough then; because I've never been able to see the "Freedom thru Crypto" argument at all.
For all the hype dispensed in some circles about the "decentralized stores of value", the 'coins' all absolutely require the government-monopoly internet to function at any usable scale. And that will (soon enough) mean atrocities like mandatory un-anonymity, before you can even log onto the net to access your 'blockchain'.
I sincerely hope there's some creative malcontent group out there working on a way around, but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation...
