“In a time of universal deceit,
telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
— George Orwell
Dear Friend,
I was truly humbled to give a keynote address at the European Parliament’s recent event on Digital IDs. I entitled it, “Digital IDs and the Death of Dissent.” I make the case that in the wrong hands, Digital IDs can be used to create a system of mass surveillance and totalitarian control, leading to a Chinese-style Social Credit System. Other legs of this 4-legged chair are central bank digital currencies or any other programmable currency, artificial intelligence and the massive data centers required to operate the AI. Dissent will be made impossible, because as soon as we voice an opinion deemed “misinformation” or “disinformation” by whomever is in power, we can be shut off of social media, severed from our bank account and credit card, and paralyzed in silence.
Please watch, like and share this video, to spread the very serious warning: Unless we resist now, it may be too late to escape.
“If freedom of speech is taken away,
then dumb and silent we may be led,
like sheep to the slaughter.”
― George Washington
“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation
must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”
― Benjamin Franklin
