Lockdown civilization: phase one and phase two

The China lockdown of 50 million citizens overnight was a key element in the long-standing plan to foist a fake pandemic on humanity.

That lockdown provided the model for the rest of the world.

We are now in phase one of Lockdown Civilization.

The “scientific” rationale? THE VIRUS. The virus that isn’t there. The virus whose existence is unproven.

But the story line works: “We have to follow the China model because the pandemic is sweeping across the globe…”

Close on the heels of this con job, we have the intro to phase two: “In order to deal with future pandemics, we must install a new planetary system of command and control; human behavior must be modified.”

Translation: wall to wall surveillance at a level never achieved before; universal guaranteed income for every human, tied to obedience to all state directives; violate those directives and income is reduced or canceled; the planting of nano devices inside the body which will broadcast physiological changes to central command, and which will receive instructions that modify mood and reaction…

Phase one lockdowns prepare the citizenry to accept phase two.

In other words, phase one had nothing to do with a virus. It was part of the technocratic revolution.

I call your attention to a stunning article in The Atlantic. “The Panopticon Is Already Here” (9/20), by Ross Andersen.

Here are significant excerpts:

“Artificial intelligence has applications in nearly every human domain, from the instant translation of spoken language to early viral-outbreak detection. But Xi [Xi Jinping, president of China] also wants to use AI’s awesome analytical powers to push China to the cutting edge of surveillance. He wants to build an all-seeing digital system of social control, patrolled by precog algorithms that identify potential dissenters in real time.”

“China already has hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras in place. Xi’s government hopes to soon achieve full video coverage of key public areas. Much of the footage collected by China’s cameras is parsed by algorithms for security threats of one kind or another. In the near future, every person who enters a public space could be identified, instantly, by AI matching them to an ocean of personal data, including their every text communication, and their body’s one-of-a-kind protein-construction schema. In time, algorithms will be able to string together data points from a broad range of sources—travel records, friends and associates, reading habits, purchases—to predict political resistance before it happens. China’s government could soon achieve an unprecedented political stranglehold on more than 1 billion people.”

“China is already developing powerful new surveillance tools, and exporting them to dozens of the world’s actual and would-be autocracies. Over the next few years, those technologies will be refined and integrated into all-encompassing surveillance systems that dictators can plug and play.”

“China’s government could harvest footage from equivalent Chinese products. They could tap the cameras attached to ride-share cars, or the self-driving vehicles that may soon replace them: Automated vehicles will be covered in a whole host of sensors, including some that will take in information much richer than 2-D video. Data from a massive fleet of them could be stitched together, and supplemented by other City Brain streams, to produce a 3-D model of the city that’s updated second by second. Each refresh could log every human’s location within the model. Such a system would make unidentified faces a priority, perhaps by sending drone swarms to secure a positive ID.”

“An authoritarian state with enough processing power could force the makers of such software to feed every blip of a citizen’s neural activity into a government database. China has recently been pushing citizens to download and use a propaganda app. The government could use emotion-tracking software to monitor reactions to a political stimulus within an app. A silent, suppressed response to a meme or a clip from a Xi speech would be a meaningful data point to a precog algorithm.”

“All of these time-synced feeds of on-the-ground data could be supplemented by footage from drones, whose gigapixel cameras can record whole cityscapes in the kind of crystalline detail that allows for license-plate reading and gait recognition. ‘Spy bird’ drones already swoop and circle above Chinese cities, disguised as doves. City Brain’s feeds could be synthesized with data from systems in other urban areas, to form a multidimensional, real-time account of nearly all human activity within China. Server farms across China will soon be able to hold multiple angles of high-definition footage of every moment of every Chinese person’s life.”

“The government might soon have a rich, auto-populating data profile for all of its 1 billion–plus citizens. Each profile would comprise millions of data points, including the person’s every appearance in surveilled space, as well as all of her communications and purchases. Her threat risk to the party’s power could constantly be updated in real time, with a more granular score than those used in China’s pilot ‘social credit’ schemes, which already aim to give every citizen a public social-reputation score based on things like social-media connections and buying habits. Algorithms could monitor her digital data score, along with everyone else’s, continuously, without ever feeling the fatigue that hit Stasi officers working the late shift. False positives—deeming someone a threat for innocuous behavior—would be encouraged, in order to boost the system’s built-in chilling effects, so that she’d turn her sharp eyes on her own behavior, to avoid the slightest appearance of dissent.”

“If her risk factor fluctuated upward—whether due to some suspicious pattern in her movements, her social associations, her insufficient attention to a propaganda-consumption app, or some correlation known only to the AI—a purely automated system could limit her movement. It could prevent her from purchasing plane or train tickets. It could disallow passage through checkpoints. It could remotely commandeer ‘smart locks’ in public or private spaces, to confine her until security forces arrived.”

“Each time a person’s face is recognized, or her voice recorded, or her text messages intercepted, this information could be attached, instantly, to her government-ID number, police records, tax returns, property filings, and employment history. It could be cross-referenced with her medical records and DNA, of which the Chinese police boast they have the world’s largest collection.”

“The country [China] is now the world’s leading seller of AI-powered surveillance equipment. In Malaysia, the government is working with Yitu, a Chinese AI start-up, to bring facial-recognition technology to Kuala Lumpur’s police as a complement to Alibaba’s City Brain platform. Chinese companies also bid to outfit every one of Singapore’s 110,000 lampposts with facial-recognition cameras.

In South Asia, the Chinese government has supplied surveillance equipment to Sri Lanka. On the old Silk Road, the Chinese company Dahua is lining the streets of Mongolia’s capital with AI-assisted surveillance cameras. Farther west, in Serbia, Huawei is helping set up a ‘safe-city system,’ complete with facial-recognition cameras and joint patrols conducted by Serbian and Chinese police aimed at helping Chinese tourists to feel safe.”

“In the early aughts, the Chinese telecom titan ZTE sold Ethiopia a wireless network with built-in backdoor access for the government. In a later crackdown, dissidents were rounded up for brutal interrogations, during which they were played audio from recent phone calls they’d made. Today, Kenya, Uganda, and Mauritius are outfitting major cities with Chinese-made surveillance networks.”

“In Egypt, Chinese developers are looking to finance the construction of a new capital. It’s slated to run on a ‘smart city’ platform similar to City Brain, although a vendor has not yet been named. In southern Africa, Zambia has agreed to buy more than $1 billion in telecom equipment from China, including internet-monitoring technology. China’s Hikvision, the world’s largest manufacturer of AI-enabled surveillance cameras, has an office in Johannesburg.”

“In 2018, CloudWalk Technology, a Guangzhou-based start-up spun out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, inked a deal with the Zimbabwean government to set up a surveillance network. Its terms require Harare to send images of its inhabitants—a rich data set, given that Zimbabwe has absorbed migration flows from all across sub-Saharan Africa—back to CloudWalk’s Chinese offices, allowing the company to fine-tune its software’s ability to recognize dark-skinned faces, which have previously proved tricky for its algorithms.”

“Having set up beachheads in Asia, Europe, and Africa, China’s AI companies are now pushing into Latin America, a region the Chinese government describes as a ‘core economic interest.’ China financed Ecuador’s $240 million purchase of a surveillance-camera system. Bolivia, too, has bought surveillance equipment with help from a loan from Beijing. Venezuela recently debuted a new national ID-card system that logs citizens’ political affiliations in a database built by ZTE…”

That gives you a chilling outline of Lockdown, phase two.

Lockdowns were never about a virus or a pandemic.

Lockdown Civilization has been in the planning and development stage for a long time.

People say, “Why? Why are they doing this?”

The short answer is, because they want to and they can.

Technocrats don’t view life as life. They view it as a system, and this is their most comprehensive system to date.

  1. JMRPete says:

    This is stunning. Thank you Jon! A compete one-stop explanation for the plandemic.

  2. Paul says:

    Thank you.
    Informative.

  3. Sean says:

    I think the masses will help technocracy along. They must not know no any better. That leaves us. Maybe there are ways to use the total control freaks ideals, along with the sheep, to leverage this game plan of theirs to a much more beneficial outcome.

  4. Linda Becker says:

    There are many of us who have seen this coming for a long time and we’ve tried to warn others to no avail. However, knowing that it was coming vs. having it actually being implemented is mind-bending.

  5. No More Lies says:

    This is a very scary eye-opener to the reality of what is going on.! Even here in America. Face recognition on your iPhones? What do you think they’re REALLY doing with that face recognition? Those countries have no chance anymore. That’s very sad. All these billionaires hide behind a keyboard and never face the people and the lives they destroy. That has to be the lowest form of life on the planet. These cameras should be turned on those that are watching the rest of world. Including watching all of us here.

  6. Rick Potvin in Phoenix AZ says:

    How to reverse and throw monkey wrenches into the panopticon is what we need right now, starting with how to avoid vaccination, temperature scanning and masks. The vaccine is not a vaccine– its an injection with DNA altering RNA that makes us part of the Internet Of Things IOT and likely cuts off our pineal glands’ sensitivity. There are all kinds of 5G/4G shielding clothing available online– if they work– and there are RF meters that can be worn to alert us to where the strongest microwave signals are so we can avoid them. Backyard gardens to grow food become something to think about along with watching some good SF online or cable that attempts to predictively program us for this technocracy tyranny– Maybe by studying it, we can figure out how to stop it.

  7. From Elsewhere says:

    This was already anticipated by books and movies. There will be resistance. There will be treason within their ranks. Or else…

  8. “The short answer is, because they want to and they can.”
    That’s what most people cannot grasp.
    Whereby, the Chinese is just another tool.
    This is what alternative journalists in the so-called Judeo-Christian West in particular cannot understand, it is not and has never been Judeo-Christian.

  9. george says:

    Finally going past ‘virus is not real’ and talking about why.
    Of course virus is not real. anybody who can still think knows that. the rest are lost, there is no point trying to reason with them.

  10. Linda says:

    This is the most disturbing development to date. Is the brain just different in these people or does the ability to control alter the brain.Does it take great wealth to understand this desire?

    • Darrell says:

      It’s not their brain that’s different, it’s their soul, which they’ve given over to Satan. They are agents of Satan. They usually call him Lucifer, meaning “Light Bearer,” which was Satan’s name before he and the other fallen angels rebelled against God’s creative plan and were cast into hell.

  11. End Rockefeller Medicine says:

    As soon as 5G begins causing cancer clusters, as school towers already have, it will be ended. They can’t have mass surveillance without it.

  12. And that’s only one part. One other part is the approaching Grand Solar Minimum…
    Watch the Ice Age Farmer for more infos and how they connect climate and virus fraud and natural ice age to one mega crime.

  13. No More Lies says:

    Also, the other night I watched a recorded video of New Year’s Eve party with J Lo performing. I was kind of disgusted at it. First she had that weird headgear on as though she was in prison around her face. Secondly, everybody out there with masks on. Third, the band had masks on but, not J Lo. The band looked stupid. Look like some dumb science-fiction movie. Obedient slaves of the, still, unproven virus.

    • Joelene says:

      EXACTLY!! Why isn’t JLo wearing a mask if all the other singers and band members are? Just goes to show this is about making people look like slaves and JLo thinks she’s better than everyone else.

  14. MDskeptic says:

    How do I get the young’ns to put down their phones in order to see this coming? On New Years day all they wanted to talk about was getting the newest thumbprint reading app.

  15. Alexandre Mihanovich says:

    As Shakespeare said once…”Tired with all these, for restful death I cry”. I’m almost there.

    As much as I love Rappoport and all the other media I follow, a thought came to mind the other day. “What if the vaccine is just tap water?” What if the fakery goes far beyond what even the most daring conspiracy theorist could think? If they – this other civilization of psychopaths that run the world – have infinite money and power and are in control of the fundamental institutions, which they took over or created, they could fake the whole thing and no one would know, except some serious doctors and scientists that are already saying “what the fuck” and are being censored and neutralized, probably even killed. If the vaccine is tap water, how would we know? Does anybody have an electronic microscope (as Woody Allen would say “my aunt has one”)? Or a lab that is truly independent?
    If you had two choices; A – to sell filet mignon for 30 dollars a kilo, or B – to sell your own shit for 5.000 a gram, what would you choose? They are selling their own fezes for 9.000.000 per molecule and everyone is buying it. They already conquered people’s faith. When that is accomplished, they don’t need to produce the real beef. The psyche is the grand creator and they already conquered the collective psyche, so why go through the trouble of producing real beef? – real virus, real vaccines, real technology etc? They don’t need nano chips connected to the brain; they already have the psyche in their hands. They don’t need surveillance; people are already faithful and willing to give them everything, and much more, of what they need. Having some nurses fainting and dying would be good propaganda to sell the reality of the vaccine.
    If I come to you with a syringe saying “Listen, I’ll inject you with this medicine that will cure you of everything, but you’re gonna have some adverse reactions, like (and then comes the malediction) coughs, fever, pain in the joints and maybe a horn will grow out of your head, ok?” and you say “OK”, after I inject you (with tap water), possibilities that you develop those symptoms are very great, until I tell you “It’s just tap water”. The human psyche has remained very much the same since Neanderthal times, so maledictions, bone pointings and such sorcery still work as well as it did, and if this “faith system” works so well, producing actual miracles, like people walking around with masks thinking they’re protected from invisible ghosts, why not use it?

    I don’t know, just a thought. If the fake works, why produce the real thing? The only thing that stops that theory is the difficulty in believing that they would go that far, but it’s not them going that far; it’s us. We are going very far in believing bullshit, buying fezes and being faithful to this cartoon fucking church. They, like any good businessmen, are just taking advantage of our collective insanity.

    • Joelene says:

      Absolutely, I have often wondered if the vaccine is just another way to spread fear. I also think it is just another money laundering venture for them, like they did with the Swine Flu in 2009. Back then governments around the world bought up billions of dollars in vaccine sales that they were unable to use when the virus was called out to be vastly over inflated. So basically passing billions of our tax dollars over to Big Pharma. The public will be so relieved when they either announce there is no virus or that we don’t need to take it, that we won’t notice how much of our tax dollars have just been funneled to Big Pharma.

    • Mos Craciun says:

      Great comment ! It will be interesting to see a PCR “test” done on the “vaccine” ….

  16. But then again the Atlantic has become a Democrat run piece of shit that can’t help throwing stones at Trump. It has become anal retentive and so so progressive in its fears.

    Remember now the beginnings of the Atlantic was Thoreau, Russell Lowell, Emerson, Wendel Holmes, Longfellow…so that dominated the rag for a long time.
    Yes they were good poets and able scriveners but, progressives every one of them and some were even pedantic Luddites.

    The optimum here is that the US ‘leads’ the AI research on the planet and it is ten years at least ahead of China. Ten years in computer years is like talking about your dog’s age; it might as well be a hundred. And when I state this I am going along with the absurd phrase Artificial Intelligence, an oxymoron of sorts as intelligence is not and can never be artificial. As humans we cannot manufacture it, in fact, AI is a weaponize term, meant to scare you.

    China can never ever catch up, they still have warehouses of Chinese androids, daily sifting through mountains of information collected by algorithms. And their IT infrastructure; the hardware? Is built like everything else they build, faulty and inferior because that what they do. China has relied far too much on Robotics and initially Chinese slaves.

    Communism teaches people to simply show up, and never really have anything with a sense of pride in workmanship, look for what is asked of them…

    The Chinese as a majority of slaves is a impediment to real progress and the art of the thing to begin with…

    There is no use having it, if you don’t know what to look for…and a Chinese man with a phone is like most humans, a raven with a piece of tinfoil.

    The old adage dumb kid, smart phone could be applied to the Chinese as a populous. Even the died in wool Stalinist: Putin is ignorant, a conspiracy theorist beyond any reach, he knows computers have incredible potential but is dumbfounded to understand why, so he and all communists see it as a weapon… it has something to do with the Communist mind, its the generations of communist thought forms they are caught in…the truth is, GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).

    So…

    Algorithms: they are very simply learning code, not as sophisticated as you would think.

    If you code a algorithm to recognize faces it will do precisely that, and it does it, far too efficiently, but, it looks for similarities and as we think we know, chimpanzees share some 97% of our DNA. Its that last three percent that make the incredible difference between us and a monkey, the same can be said of algorithms that have enormous amounts of bias which is inherent and a sticking point of AI progression; yes they talk about more sophisticated systems but an algorithms is a bias, in the end is an impedance to the truth. To absolute fact, and if you know that, you have a tremendous advantage over an algorithm, simple tweaking can overburden such systems with far too many conflictions and in the end, conflations. Applying a logical truth to a piece of metadata is tantamount to throwing a spanner in the machines workings.

    Far too many repeatable errors, are incurred, millions of them in fact and so you get to a point of information breakdown and over burden.

    Far too many pomp up the accolades of computer efficiency but, in the end it is GIGO, GIGO to the ten power as historical metadata is used in extrapolation.

    This world is being built on terrible lies.

    China can never be number one — twenty five years ago an American computer named Deep Blue beat the greatest chess mind in history; and it shocked Kasparov and he accused IBM of cheating. The machine is a calculator and the human mind can only conceive of so many variations of a theme like chess.

    For instance, surveillance equipment used in U.S. facial recognition cameras and software to discover truth; but what ended up happening is that the algorithms which are dependent on computer metadata gained, even historical metadata based on other metadata. And the algorithm choose Black and Asian faces over white. So in the end the computer was racist. The similar can be said of Chinese systems.

    This idea that the computer is more sophisticated than the human brain is a lie that is being propagandized via these tech lords and a technocracy being built. It is 1984.

    The fly is already far too deep within the ointment. We can see the break down of tech giants like Google and Facebook as their own people rage against the Frankenstein they have created, and the bias of the algorithms bring these tech submissively to the inquiries of the Senate — as computers are changing society to the worst, because of bias.

    As the cycles are run, and algorithms become aged and more complex their is an amplification of the errors.

    To expand on this I would say that the whole COVID hoax is based on an lie in a way, this lie we as a society are all complicit with, and so this is inspired and reinforced by, and has cause reactions from many higher institutions and then in tow infect others with the implicit bias. All cause by algorithmic bias.

    A computer algorithm create by, and which informed a misanthrope, who was sleeping with another man’s wife that the there would be two million dead by the end of 2020 in the USA. And that lie was imprinted in shallow minds.

    Do yo know how many people in the world look like you, talk like you and move like you, you would be surprised to find the truth of that… you would absolutely be flabbergasted.

    Computer are smart calculators at most, they can never really achieve AI, because real intelligence is a dynamic thing that is a highly inventive and above all vastly more imaginative thing. It is based in consciousness which is of the soul, and a computer can not have a soul, it cannot hold a soul… You will never be able to teach a computer to imagine or even feel — Frankenstein can not have a soul and that is the fatal flaw that will brings it end.

    DC is on lockdown now.

    This powder keg is about to explode.

  19. Roundball Shaman says:

    “We are now in phase one of Lockdown Civilization… Technocrats don’t view life as life. They view it as a system, and this is their most comprehensive system to date.”

    There is another lockdown system we must never surrender to. They want to LOCK DOWN OUR MINDS. They want to lock down and drain us of our Spirit. When our minds and spirit goes, we go away with it. We then fully become “things”, “objects” that are no longer human as designed and infused by the Ultimate Spirit. We fully become empty pawns to be moved around (or removed totally) as seen fit by the unseen and well-hidden Dark State players who have been salivating for this outcome for uncounted generations. The great big Checkmate and enslavement of the human race.

    Are we precious human beings designed by a caring Creator to share and experience a great adventure called Human Life? Or are we “things” without value that are fully owned and manipulated by soulless false techno and moneyed faux-gods who want to achieve a personal level of deity that is nothing but a gross and obscenely false delusion? That’s for each one of us to decide on our own – and without Their help.

    This all was coming to us either way — virus or no virus. This battle was inevitable once certain deranged humans decided to try to become gods over humanity.

  20. lamberth says:

    How many times did the words “China” or “Chinese” appear in the article? I stopped counting. Talk about propaganda…

    The article implies that this is a Chinese agenda.
    It is not, never was.

    China is used as the blueprint by the global elite. The blueprint for a global fascistic system of control and surveillance.
    China has no choice in this matter, they either go along with it, or face the consequences.
    That is the price you pay for selling yourself out to the global money-men.
    Those same money-men that brought communism into China, and the former Soviet Union.
    Those same money-men that control the Western nations.
    Those same money-men that control the global tech companies that are enabling this system. Whether this company is Chinese or US is irrelevant.
    Those same money-men that now want to implement their fascistic, technocratic system of control on a global scale.

    Don’t fall for the fake China vs rest-of-the-world narrative.
    The “China wants to conquer the world” narrative.
    Where / when have we heard that before. It’s getting tiresome.
    The age-old Divide & Conquer.

    Does China control the global media? Of course not, we know who that is.
    And complete control of the media is an absolute requirement to pull off a scam on the scale of this fake “pandemic”.

    Focus on the ???????????????? culprits. These culprits that have given us every war and False Flag for the past 100+ years.
    “If you want to know who rules you, find out who you’re not allowed to criticize”.

    • Kellerman says:

      lamberth, agree with you to 100!
      We can vomit over Chinese as well as Swedes and Americans. You can vomit over Globalists and Nationalists but and that’s the truth you can not vomit over the “UNNAMIBLE”. If you Jon did that and addressed all this shit with viruses to the unmentionable, your blog would be shut down a long time ago and you frozen in silence without clothes forever, suck at that Jon?

      So this nagging about Chinese taking over fits into the carousel or circus if you want to be perfect. The deep state loves this with Globalists and Nationalists those who rule in the deep state are not some we see or read about very often but it is the richest of the rich those who own private money (and you) in such abundance that they do not need more but they thirst for power, power …… power.

      “Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.”

    Indeed a stunning article you share here Jon – thank you for that.
    Regarding The Atlantic: I’m not so sure what to think of them…
    Check it out for yourself: here’s a list of their recent articles.
    What do you think of their bias?

    “Impeach Trump Again”
    Congress must now act, not just to remove Trump—but to ensure that no president ever risks behaving in this way again.

    “The Problem With a 50–50 Senate”
    A double victory in Georgia could create serious difficulties for Democrats—and might even make it less likely for Biden to win reelection.

    “Trump Lost Everything for the Republicans”
    In four years, Trump has led the Republican Party from unified control of Washington to the wilderness.

    “America Is Nearing the End of Law”
    Trump’s allies are not making good-faith arguments within America’s legal system. Rather, this is a challenge to the legal system.

    “Worse Than Treason”
    No amount of rationalizing can change the fact that the majority of the Republican Party is advocating for the overthrow of an American election.

    “ ‘This Must Be Your First’ “
    Acting as if Trump is trying to stage a coup is the best way to ensure he won’t.

    “It’s Over”
    The president of the United States is out of options to fulfill his authoritarian dreams.

    It’s a great cultural failing that so many of us do not seem able to contemplate that others have the capacity for calmly considered acts of evil upon their own kind. We should really educate our kids from an early age to spot the tell-tail traits of such individuals, to first of all ostracise them, and then to neutralise them. Maybe at some level that have an evolutionary function; a kill switch for humanity, to keep it in check for whatever greater purpose – who knows.

    I can’t believe the human spirit would be able to tolerate the highly disturbing levels of surveillance and invasiveness predicted above, the very negation of being a human being. There would likely be many suicides before any such final act of desperate self will was made impossible.

    Those of us who have resisted the propaganda and are maybe less suggestible continue to look on in horror at the great unravelling, seemingly powerless to reverse its grim progress. Even though such diabolical schemes are so against Nature they are unlikely to endure, many lives stand to be immiserated and lost before sanity returns and the spell has finally been broken.

    I guess I’m far from being alone in wondering if there is some conceivable way of turning this ship off its present doomed course. Ideas most welcome!

      Since you asked… the solution has been given by Our Lady of Fatima in 1917, months before the Bolshevik Revolution. The Fatima Center has a lot of info, which should be supplemented by what’s at Sister Lucy Truth, since the Cabal “disappeared” the only living Fatima visionary since they didn’t want her revealing the Third Secret of Fatima, since it exposed the Cabal’s plans for taking over the Church.

    I used to worry about getting old but now I am I’m more worried about living in such a world and what it means for my children and their issue(s). The question is how do we stop this before it is far too late? This will likely lead to the end of mankind when HAL and the like (apologies to Space Odyssey 2001)finally takes over. I used to laugh about The Matrix and Mad Max, now I can only feel depressed yet optimistic that a frontier-like human spirit can lift us out of here.

    I refer you to another post at Armstrong Economics regarding the intrusion of Fintech into our lives.His post is at:

    https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/ecm-armstrongeconomics101/ny-governor-can-lock-you-up-your-contacts-if-he-think-you-might-be-infected/

    Fintech resolves the dilemma by tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases. Recent research documents that, once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior than traditional credit assessment methods, and can advance financial inclusion, by, for example, enabling more credit to informal workers and households and firms in rural areas.

    I’d welcome Jon’s thoughts on the implications for websites such as his own and the implications for those who comment herein.

  32. The only problem I see in the hypothesis, is that this level of “technology” doesn’t actually exist. All that AI super-hype is coming from persons that don’t know shit about basic electronics and the limits of same. One series of large scale electromagnetic pulses, and the digital monster comes crashing down. The End.

    Civilian fools have been mesmerized and thought conditioned by technology “experts” who’s actual task is to misinform the masses with technological falsehoods. Let’s everyone cringe and quake before the majesty of idiocy and civil cowardice.

    It’s hard to keep up with stuff when you work full time, bike miles (in winter) to get to work and miles to return home, as well as do all business by bike (in order to avoid abusive public transit and abusive crazies in masks). And I’m 64, not 24. This blog post is a keeper. It complements Naomi Klein’s “China’s All-Seeing Eye” nicely. She’s gone over to the dark side of course (which my explain why she removed the above article from her website), but “China’s All-Seeing Eye” (linked to below) predicted all of what the Atlantic article reports, making it clear that Western corporations helped China to build it’s surveillance/security network and Western ‘governments’ admire and wish to import China’s authoritarian style of capitalism.

    From the article that Jon quotes:

    === =
    “China is already developing powerful new surveillance tools, and exporting them to dozens of the world’s actual and would-be autocracies. Over the next few years, those technologies will be refined and integrated into all-encompassing surveillance systems that dictators can plug and play.”
    = ===

    Let’s not forget that the dictators are not at the top of this evil system of things. The unelected, ruined transnational capitalist class is at the top of this system of things and governments, as Peter Phillips reminds us, take their marching orders from it.

    How can a country like China in just 53 years have made the technological advances that it has without western help/?is control of such importance? This type of control can only defeat advancement of human progress. Why is Africa sighing on to this diabolical control? The people must stand up to this type of control before it is to late. Surely the technocrats that desire this type of control are limited in number.Loberty or death- theirs not ours.

    Time to detonate high altitude nuclear EMP devices and crash the entire electronic systems of the planet. Or, barring brave enough souls, the sun do it for us. A nice massive flare directly on earth would do.
    End digital banking, surveillance, and of course most of the web as well as high tech law enforcement. THAT’s a Great Reset. Give people breathing room to start , go back to human facial interfacing.
