Vaccine passports, central bank digital currencies & digital ID are not for our virtue, security and convenience. It’s all about government control, power and a reduction in our freedoms.
It’s the complete digital identification of everything - money, health, energy and travel. It will be framed as “for your safety and convenience”, but in reality it’s for their control, surveillance, power and greed.
Central Bank Digital Currencies are being piloted under the radar in many countries around the world. And when they are fully rolled out, they will be sold to the public as “for our convenience”. Don’t be fooled by the snake oil sales pitch. It’s all about control. #CBDCs
All over the world, governments are nudging towards central bank digital currencies. They are not designed for your convenience or security. They are designed for control and financial surveillance. They risk becoming a gateway to social credit systems. We are not China.
Russell Brand discusses the perils of Central Bank Digital Currencies. #CBDCs
Widespread and interlinked digital ID monitoring and surveillance is not a conspiracy theory. It’s an agenda. It’s not for your convenience. It’s for their control.
Central Banking Digital Currencies risk becoming a pathway towards social credit systems. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s already happening. Educate your friends and family about #CBDCs before it is too late.

If you drive an electric vehicle to do your bit to ‘save the planet’, it is more than likely that the vehicle has a battery with cobalt in it.
Over 40,000 child slaves mine the cobalt in horrific conditions in Congo. Electric cars are now the biggest source of cobalt demand.
Lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles. Yet the environmental damage that is created to extract lithium is enormous. But that side of the story doesn’t fit into the net zero narrative.
China has more carbon emissions than the developed world combined. But hey, let’s punish farmers, blame it on cow farts, fill up landfills with wind turbine blades, destroy prime farmland with mass-scale solar panels and enforce net zero taxes.
Destroy trees, natural habitats, prime farmland, wildlife and ecosystems, increased taxes for net zero and replace real meat with fake lab-based meat…but give net zero subsidies to corporations.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill (vote in parliament later today) means that anyone born after 2009 won't ever be able to legally buy tobacco. If passed, as expected, the age at which people can purchase cigarettes would be raised by one year annually.
This is an insane bit of legislation.
So when someone is say 50 years of age, they still won’t be able to buy cigarettes (if born after 2009). This legislation is unworkable and another example of governments enforcing health and safety crass logic laws to restrict freedom of choice.
If someone wants to smoke then so be it. Banning or restricting freedom of choice is a slippery slope.
This becomes a slippery slope where the government plays god over banning things that they deem to be unhealthy. And where do we draw the line? Freedom of choice has been forgotten here.
