Another look into the future – biometrics plus digital everything could be a boon to humanity – or it could be used by narcissistic egomaniacs to create a world of excited misery
It should be obvious to all by now that the so called Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations – as implemented by its organs of the WHO, the IPCC and IOM –do nothing more than create more poverty by inflating energy and food prices – whilst also creating housing shortages in developed countries through the trafficking of people – people who could be working to improve their own countries, rather than stealing welfare benefits in heavily indebted “rich” countries.
The ”Net Zero” mantra has been exposed as a complete cartoon farce of “faux science”.
Taxpayers globally have paid for the entire capital costs of forests of windmills and plantations of solar panels – meaning only the running costs should be paid by consumers of these “renewables” and yet, rather than almost free energy from these sources, the cost to consumers of “green energy” is the same or higher than energy from hydrocarbon sources.
It would make as much, if not more sense to process human excrement and food waste as to pursue the folly of erecting (soon to be obsolete) environmentally hostile, ugly, windmills and solar panels.
There has been much talk about central bank digital currencies. I can see the dangers of becoming beholden to the flick of a switch to turn off access to bank accounts. I am not ignorant of the use of war powers in Canada or freeze the bank and insurance accounts of Canadian truckers – these were the acts of a fascist regime of the most evil kind. These actions were criminal, and it is to the enduring shame of the Canadian legal system and Governor General that Trudeau and Freeland were not immediately arrested for crimes against humanity, of racketeering and treason against the Canadian people.
We gave seen other examples of how politics and big government can access bank accounts, tax accounts and so on. At the corporate level, banks have evicted customers for holding opposing political views – Nigel Farage. Nobody bats an eye lid in the US about bank records of politicians being viewed as part of congressional enquiries or the IRS getting access or a host of other Federal agencies. UK tax authorities have direct access to taxpayer’s bank accounts already – for tax purposes of course.
The point is this. All governments have to do now to get access to bank accounts and financial records is “just ask” or pass some sort of odious bogus legislation. That’s it.
Now, think about the “digital” economy. The need for hard cash is almost gone. People shop online w, nobody pays cash for a car or a house, utility bills are paid electronically, even the bulk of groceries (if not home delivered) are purchased with a swipe at the checkout – cafés and restaurants? Theatres and cinemas, concert tickets? Maybe fast food is the last bastion of cash – maybe bars.
There is a massive marketing push to switch from swiping debit and credit card and onto cell phones.by the banking sector – how long before cell phone companies morph into banks?
If you have bad eyesight, like me, you are up shit creek without a paddle! I expect “screen blindness” to become a thing over the coming years.
As an aside, how would you even know whether your utility bill meter readings are accurate? Because the meter says so? Maybe it is clocking units at an extra 10% - who would know or even bother checking!?!
Where am I going with all this?
Well, we already live in the world of digital banking – central banks regulate banks –banknotes are going the way of the dodo, so exactly what is the leap to central bank digital currencies? Bank notes are issued by central banks, for the most part (with the notable exceptions of Hing Kong and Scotland).
There is the threat of “bad actors” abusing human rights to access their own money and assets – but surely this can be overcome with functioning civil and human rights – with proper policing, regulations and prosecution of abuse? Of course, the Cult of Moloch would love CBDC’s – but the Cult has been exposed and there may just be a better world ahead.
A while ago I posted this about emerging technologies that might just prove to a boon to humanity – if the criminals in charge of supranational and regulatory bodies are evicted and politicians are removed from decision making in the health arena.
Advice and informed consent yes – mandates and political abuse of power no.

Combine this with the installation of biometric devices in autos from 2026.
Biometric devices inside autos are increasing in functionality and being linked to corporate and government databases – to be processed via algorithms and AI.
Anyone who uses airports is familiar with the biometric devices used to verify passports and take pictures at ports of entry.
Check this out for how hospitals are using biometric devices:
Biometrics deployed in healthcare for Thailand migrants, ID checks in China | Biometric Update
“The iris and facial scanning pilot was announced in April 2023 with state agencies signing the agreement on August 15th. The initiative covered five provinces, including the capital of Bangkok.”
“In China, hospitals are using facial recognition to streamline patient diagnostics and medical insurance payments.”
Which kind of begs the question “why not use biometric devices at every “point of sale”? or every voting booth or every journey. Get rid of debit and credit cards! Just use your biometrics! Pretty well all cell phones and laptops have cameras, right? Why not use biometric technology to remove the need for all those pesky passwords for every website? And that’s before getting into voice activation as a biometric tool.
What we would be left with is the need or otherwise for banks – CBDC’s or a massive payment processing system? How different would that be from a text messaging system or a search engine, in terms of processing trillions of “transactions” a day?
Remember when the “world wide web” started? How exciting it was to talk to anyone, anywhere and have conversations, share photos and videos?
That was before governments got involved. Now governments and corrupted institutions want to show down all that – unless you say what “they” want via “compelled speech”.
Dispersed interactions with no government involvement = good.
Centralised interactions monitored, controlled and censored by government = bad.
Big Marxist/Maoist/Cult of Moloch government or decentralized freedom to live, breathe and explore.
You know my views “taxation is theft – the bugger the government, the bigger the theft of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!”.
Onwards!

Lots to reflect on here, particularly for younger people most of whom seem oblivious to what's in store for them.
There is nothing to worry about.
“Digital everything”, as you have nicely put it, will require huge energy supply. Which will require even more huge energy transfer and storage solutions - which will also require huge energy supply.
Huge amount of data will require huge media capacity to store this stuff. In duplicate, as a minimum - redundancy is already built into all IT large systems. Redundant systems will require twice as much energy only to keep things running.
Even more huge energy will be required to secure: air conditioning (redundant, or even with multiple redundancy), facility space (construction, maintenance, access control, security, constant surveillance), qualified (redundant) staff. And tons of reports.
Even more energy will be required for the processing of this data. Processing will include input (data collection), conversion (system compatibility), classification and naming, storage and access policies, admin services, and tons of software. Maybe a tiny part of this data will be needed for someone - then more energy will be required to collect and prepare the batch, release it and ensure control over the released data. Even more energy.
Give up your new overpriced, unsellable electric vehicle with the design solutions outdated back at the drawing boards. You will not have time and energy to drive it. Your whole life will be devoted to the production of electricity and playing with fake screen monitoring systems. Fortunately, your life will be short - how long can you handle such a stupid life?
Welcome to the new grave world. Existing for the sake of its own existence on the “as is” principle.
