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.

We are sleepwalking towards tech totalitarianism. This dystopian and illiberal premise is not who we are or ever should become. We must never become a ‘show us your digital papers’ QR code society. We are not China.
The very essence of liberalism is a willingness to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own, show an openness to new ideas and freedom of choice. And right now, we appear to be losing these fair-minded and balanced liberal values.
We have allowed ourselves to be blindsided by government, behavioural scientists and media under the auspices of “safety and convenience”. A psychological manipulation to act as a mask for the government to hide behind whilst making appallingly draconian political decisions.
Sean is absolutely 💯 correct here. Absolutely nails it.
So grounded. This is exactly how to win hearts and minds rather than preaching / sneering at anyone else for their lack of ideological purity or their different opinions.
And I absolutely share Sean’s sentiments and experience. I’m from the “old-left”, but find many aspects of the “woke-left” utterly bizarre and ridiculous.
Wind turbines have a life span of 20 years. Tens of thousands of old turbines could end up in landfill by the end of the decade. Turbine blades are set to account for more than 40 million tonnes of waste by 2050. Not exactly a sustainable outcome.
Demand for balsa wood (used to make wind turbine blades) is causing deforestation in the Amazon and leaving a trail of environmental destruction in Ecuador, with a disastrous impact on indigenous communities and ecosystems in the Amazon.

We are sleepwalking towards central bank digital currencies & digital ID. It is being sold as “for our security and convenience” when actually it’s for their digital and financial control and power. As I discussed at the @Togetherdec debate. #CBDCs
The vast majority of the population have absolutely no idea about the mission creep towards central bank digital currencies and therefore, have absolutely no understanding about the potential repercussions of this. Ignorance is not bliss. It’s dangerous.
Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and social credit systems explained. It’s time to bring this out in the open and wake people up before they sleepwalk towards state digital surveillance and control of our money and transactions. #CBDC
1. After the division of Brexit and lockdowns, the thing that unites us all is the cost of living crisis & bad governments.
2. Yet again we watch with contempt at the grotesque vaudevillian parlour game played out by shoddy politicians and overexcited media at Westminster, while millions of people suffer a cost of living crisis. A circus filled with clowns, totally detached from the real world.
3. No one wants Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak to run the country apart from Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak & their technocratic string pullers, alickadoo cronies in the Tory party and greedy corporations. The whole thing is an assault on democracy by these power-hungry charlatans.
