CBDCs, Digital IDs, Social Credit Scores
“Basically, the plumbing of the financial system has to be put in place so that financial institutions–whether they’re banks or pension funds or insurers or asset managers–have the information, the tools and the market to take climate change into account. So, in other words it’s a fundamental driver of every investment decision or lending decision.”

Read MoreChinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday that China expects fellow members of the BRICS economic bloc to push back against President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff threats.
“As an important platform of cooperation for emerging markets and developing countries, BRICS advocates openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, not bloc confrontation, and does not target any third party. The aim is to realize common development and prosperity,” Lin said at a press conference on Tuesday.

Read MoreProminent South Africans reacted angrily on Sunday to President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose 100% tariffs on the BRICS countries if they tried to create an alternative to the U.S. dollar as the global reserve and trade currency.
As Breitbart News reported on Saturday:
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that countries in BRICS that try to “replace the mighty U.S. Dollar” would “face 100% Tariffs” and should also be prepared to “say goodbye to selling” in the United States economy.
BRICS, which stands for the countries of “Brazil,

Read MoreAs President Trump’s second administration is taking shape, his picks for various key positions are expectedly coming under scrutiny, with the choice of the surgeon general nominee causing particular interest.
The nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, has in the past defended issues like digital ID, and online age verification, but also even Big Tech’s – specifically Facebook’s – censorship around Covid topics.
None of this is sitting well with some Trump supporters, who are now outright calling Nesheiwat “a bad choice.”
As recently as in March and July of this year, Nesheiwat appeared on Fox News to call for teens and young children to be banned from social platforms (the contentious question here is rarely the intent, but rather the method, namely using digital ID for age verification).

Read MoreMeta is coming out as a supporter of age verification, and the proposal the giant is putting forward exposes and sums up many of the points critics have been consistently making.
A blog post by Meta VP and Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis proposes to implement age verification at the operating system/app stores level.
Although the narrative around child safety and difficulties of parenting “in the digital age” dominates the article, “the meat of it” are the implications that this approach brings with it: namely, it creates a situation where, down the line, people would be forced to link real-world identity to their phone’s operating system (OS).
And everything they do using the phone is exposed to that OS.

Read MoreEarlier this year having digested a steep correction after the spot ETF approvals, Bitcoin put up a fresh all-time high, which was anomalous, because the halving was still coming. In past cycles new ATH’s weren’t achieved until after the halving, by a few months at least.
This time, we put up a new one (two back-to-back’s, actually) before the halving event, but pulled back right away and until fairly recently, BTC was chopping sideways in a band which Bitcoiners have been calling “chopsolidation” (could be @Checkmatey who coined that phras

Read MoreThe Cloak for Unintended Dystopian Chaos
My bank accounts and credit cards were frozen simply for holding opinions that differed from what the Canadian government bureaucracy deemed “unacceptable views,” as Justin Trudeau described them. This is the extreme framework in which the fledgling Trudeau regime operates. Despite Justice Mosley’s ruling, they have yet to face any financial or legal consequences.
The ‘Switch and Replace’ Strategy
We may, however, be on the verge of witnessing the same ‘switch and replace’ strategy used to quietly erase Joe Biden from the long-term memory of potential Democratic voters—an effort that could become the greatest act of misdirection since Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Robert Angier in The Prestige. Concerningly, the same team of strategic management consultants behind these strategies are deeply embedded in both the Liberal Party of Canada and the U.S. Democratic Party. This phenomenon is a na

Read MoreCanadians driving across the US border will be asked to undergo a “traveller modernization” process involving pre-submitting photos and license plate numbers to border authorities.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) program is scheduled to begin in 2026, says a federal report entitled Traveller Modernization, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
Similar electronic filing will be introduced for marine passengers in 2027 and air passengers in 2028, said the report.
The traveller modernization plan is separate from the Agency’s $59.5 million ArriveCan program that ended in failed audits and an RCMP investigation.
