World Business Wants You Under One Global Idenification Network

Freedomist Editor August 6, 2021

PGC – 100 powerful global business interests have been working on a concept of a global digital identity framework, universal standards that allow corporations, and by extentions, states, to track and verify people throughout the global network.

A little down into the excerpt I’ve chosen to highlight this ongoing effort, you get this statement from the article editor, “But who is to build a safe, global, and easy-to-use digital identity infrastructure? What do we need to achieve it? ”

Those are indeed the most significant questions, and yet, no one outside of this tiny sphere of individuals who control an inordinate amount of resources, real power, compared to the overwheming super majority of the rest of us. These are the ones in the room to write into the a.i governed code the standards of decency and normalcy so as to filter out the undesirables from gaining access to the systems that wish to lock them out.

Sounds like a solid plan, folks.

The ‘taste’ of a global digital identity framework – interoperable,

Excerpt:

For 100 business, technical, and legal experts in identity and banking, co-authors of a White Paper called ‘The Global Assured Identity Network, a Financial-Grade Identity Data Sharing Scheme’, the answer is yes. Ahead of the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2021, we sat with Don Thibeau, Project Lead at Open Digital Trust initiative, and Douwe Lycklama, founder of INNOPAY, to learn about this ‘crazy idea’ of building a Global Assured Identity Network.

Digital identity at crossroads

More than a buzzword, digital identity promises to unlock lots of benefits for consumers and businesses alike in many sectors: healthcare, legal, government, financial. But lack of interoperability or data privacy issues hinders the development of these advantages. Not only this, but the need to find new ways to identify consumers remotely (ways that are secure and inclusive), or that more and more fintechs and bigtechs have started replacing banks from securely identifying a customer and protecting their data, demand the global development of a digital identity infrastructure.

But who is to build a safe, global, and easy-to-use digital identity infrastructure? What do we need to achieve it? Rules (governance), tools (technology/tech systems), or both? What is the business case for it? At the moment, we have digital identity infrastructures that perform well, and that can provide good examples. Take for instance digital ID schemes in Sweden and India that have transformed digital payments and caused wider societal benefits including medical benefits, unemployment allowance, etc. As Douwe Lycklama, INNOPAY says ‘we don’t need to discover from a technological point, or conceptual base’ how to create a digital identity infrastructure. ‘It is something double, interoperability is double in Europe as we have a cross-jurisdictional legislation for organising this identity scheme’. But technology alone is not enough — financial and digital literacy are critical if we are to reap the benefits of digitisation while avoiding the potential pitfalls.

‘To build a safe, easy-to-use [digital identity] infrastructure, on a global basis, we need to capture the tools (technology/techs systems) and rules (e.g., governance)’ says Don Thibeau, Digital Trust initiative. Plus, ‘the combination of data protection legislation like GDPR, shared KYC registries, federated Bank ID, new payment rails and standardised Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) will give a major boost to the soundness, safety, and efficiency of internet commerce’, according to Citi’s white paper – ‘The Age of Consent – The Case for Federated Bank ID’.

Mexican State Sues Gun Manufacturers For Same Reason Anti-Gun Americans Do

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – The Mexican government is using the same tactics as the anti-gun activists in America in going after the heart and soul of gun manufacturers, its operating cost. It does this by costing the gun manufacturers millions in legal liabilities and help lay other groundwork for financial institutions to once again use their monopolized market powers to cut gun manufacturers out of the financial exchange system altogether.

Even if they lose the lawsuit, the gun manufacturers lose. If they can’t pass laws preventing us from owning and possessing the means to self-defense of the times, then they will destroy the instutions that create our self-defense tools for us.

If the US Courts let this go on, more nation-states aligned with the anti-gun coalition will bring suit as well, destroying our gun manufacturing companies once and for all, the desired aim of all the nation-states in the authoritarian club.

The Mexican government filed a lawsuit Wednesday, August 4th, against eleven of the biggest gun manufacturers in the United States claiming the same type of justification for monetary recompense as the Sandy Hook Anti-Gun Group is using in its American suit against the manufacturer of the gun used in the Sandy Hook tragic mass shooting.

The Mexican government was careful not to appear to be targeting US law, a tactic born over the DNC’s inability to pass any meaningful national anti-gun laws. Again, if we can’t legalize it away, we’ll bankrupt it away. This careful wording gives evidence to that supposition, “This flood is not a natural phenomenon or an inevitable consequence of the gun business or of U.S. gun laws. It is the foreseeable result of the Defendants’ deliberate actions and business practices.”

Their business practices are in advertising guns as effective self-defense tools and emphasizing their power.

I can see to the authoritarian in non-American lands how literally frightening it might seem to live in a land that embraces the free ownership and possession of firearms, a key symbol of trust between the people and the state that no other nation in this land in current year can hope to appreciate, let alone understand.

This is a narrative that is easy for the Mexican authoritarian (there are plenty of non-authoritarian Mexicans who dream of living in a land where firearms are freely held by the people) to enter into, as this authoritarian is long in the tooth in statewide gun control execution.

The quote here, though, specifically, attemptsn to decouple the lawsuit from the 2nd Amendment. It attempts to make it a non-second-amendment-rights issue, but, at its core, it cannot help but be such a thing, for, should the suit succeed, the end of gun manufacturing in America means the effective end of the second amendment.

If the people cannot hold the current year means of self-defense, then they will soon be without ownership of anything. All that they hold will be rentals. Maybe the very air you breathe will be metered for taxation purposes.

Still, a foreign power taking advantage of a competing power’s own rules to shake it from within, well, from that perspective this move also makes perfect sense. This is not to suggest Mexico wishes to see America destroyed, only that she wishes to see her less powerful to give her advantage at the trade table. I wouldn’t fault Mexico in the least if my suspicions were true.

This is what nation-states do.

What troubles me is that the keys to this potential vulnerability of US Sovereignty was created by the anti-gun movement, who may very well wish to do far more harm than even Mexico would wish to see done. A weak United States means the removal of a long buffer of relative security. I doubt very much the powers that be that are Mexico would wish to lose that security at this moment in their history.

Their military capacity is less than world-class. This is what Mexico most likely will be focusing on next. For that, it needs a favorable trade deal with the US first and foremost, a strong US, giving Mexico time to develop her military to be able to stand on her own.

The wildcard in this whole affair comes in the form of other nation-states that might see an opportunity to offer Mexico gold in trade as well, specifically China and Russia, but not exclusively so.

The real ‘vilain’ in this whole affair is one of many DNC-serving narratives that are undoing the fundamental fabric of an American democratic republic bounded by the Bill of Rights. This is the unity that makes our diversity possible. Remove that, and you remove the ties that bind, and factions will form that your deep learning models can’t predict.

The machines don’t know us, yet.

Biden’s ATF Nominee Failed to Tell Senate of Chinese State Media Appearances

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – It seems the raging anti-gun, anti-bill-of-rights activist David Chipman, the would-be future Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the ATF, the heroes of Waco.

David failed to disclose to the Senate that he had previously appeared on Chinese State media, a fact that might gain relevance in our current climate, following on the heels of China, who, at the onset of the Coronavirus Panic, threatened to withhold our medicine supples and watch us die of the virus if we kept on about it coming from a lab leak in Wuhan.

Let’s not forget that fact folks, because that China is still the China that our corporate moral supremacist authoritarians are relying on to deliver them wealth beyond their wildest imaginations, all in exchange for dissolving from within the American Bill of Rights spirit, by any means necessary.

This connection of Chipman to Chinese State Media fits an overall pattern of actions by DNC operatives over the past few years. In and of itself, it could mean nothing, as there are reasons for resisters to the Chinese State to allow themselves to appear on Chinese State media, but I’m betting he wasn’t there to resist, but to agree, concur, and echo the same values as the city of Eldorado dictated.

City of Eldorado, the mythical golden city that everyone searches for, where wealth flows with ease to those who are able to capture the prize. This has been what an open Chinese market means to a coalition of folks, from governmental to media to market to social power who found great advantage in loosely aligning with the Chinese state (and some not so loosely).

It is within this backdrop, when we see a man set to take the helm of one of the most well-armed and powerful departments in the Executive Department. This group has broad range to go after all manner of human action that most of us find in some measure fundamental to our sense of peace and security.

It is within this backdrop that such a tie further adds to the weight of evidence that shows how interdependent the DNC coalition and the CCP are at this point, with both pinning their very legitimacy on the power to make their masses see what they will they see, and thus escape the trauma of failed policies, the ire of the people being destroyed.

When you build your Empire on lies, you are soon to face the accelerating need to coerce the truth to silence.

Excerpt:

As part of his review, Chipman failed to disclose to the Senate his appearance on Chinese state television, China Global Television Network (CGTN). What was he doing appearing on the Chinese propaganda channel which has had to register as a foreign agent under FARA? He was talking about “gun violence” in the United States after the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in 2012.

Indeed, CGTN was concentrating on the Sandy Hook shooting as part of an effort to downplay a mass stabbing of 23 children in Henan, China. So Chipman was participating in a propaganda effort, knowingly or unknowingly.

While Chipman revealed many media appearances he’d made or quotes he’d given to media, 16 pages full, he neglected to mention this appearance on Chinese state television when asked in a questionnaire by the Senate.

Federal Judge Calls American January 6ther an “Insurrectionist”

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson calls January 6ther an insurrectionist, not a patriot, and accuses former President Donald J Trump of being the instegator of that ‘insurrection,’ pushing forth the narrative that what happened on January 6th was not a rally gone wrong through a number of factors (with blame to be found among multiple partes) but rather a coordinated effort to overthrow the government by storming the US Capitol, a conclusion that makes little to no logical sense.

The judge is asking you to believe that a group of Americans, the overwheming majority of which were unarmed, somehow thought that storming the US Capitol and siezing it would somehow pull the full might and power of the United States to the ground.

Whatever happened in January 6th will likely be a debate for decades, maybe centuries, to come, but I doubt there will be any but a few fringe conspiracy theorists who will hold to the insurrection narrative in years to come, and then, perhaps we can revisit the officials who used such a damning narrative to attack their political opponents and see if they haven’t themselves been the insurretionists the whole time.

Liberal Magistrate Deems Election Lawsuits “Fantastical” in Dominion-Favoring Ruling

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – A US Magesterial Judge named N. Reid Neureiter, who serves in the liberal district of Colorado, has ruled that the lawyers who sued the Federal government over election law violations in 2020 will have to pay the legal fees of everyone involved.

He based his ruling primarily around the assumption that the lawsuits were “fantastical,” committing himself to the narrative that these were the most secure elections ever in the history of the known universe, or words to that effect.

The ruling no doubt will be appealed until it reaches the Supreme Court where the consequences of partisan lawfare are far deeper than when a minor magistrate makes a ruling with his party instead of the constitution, as appears to have happened in this case.

The ongoing debate about the legitimacy of this election is moot, however, in this writer’s opinion, as the Federal government conducted and certified a mass mailer election in 2020, and thus failed to execute an actual republican-democratic election, one with accountability, but instead chose to conduct an unaccountable mass mailer election, the net outcome of which will never be known, nor is it relevent, as even if Donald Trump “won” the election itself should have never happened in the first place.

Don’t Let the Unvaccinated Fly, Former DHS Official Declares

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – And so it has begun, a former Obama official is now throwing a thought up a flag pole to see not only who salutes, but who doesn’t cry out, “is you crazy?”

Well, consider this we the people saying to you, ‘is you crazy?!”

Juliette Kayyem, a former low-level official in Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, is suggesting in an op end in the Atlantic that maybe we should consider putting the unvaccinated on a no-fly list, or, to put it in another term, maybe we should nudge the vaccinated public to subhumanize the non-vaccinated even more.

Perhaps the DNC is betting that the vast majority of the unvaccinated in Bidenmerica are Republicans, or, at the very least, DNC resisters, maybe even DNC deniers. So, by pushing for vaccinations in the first place, they create the self-filtering conditions that let them identify their ‘people’ from all others, faith in government and corporations, the kind of people the DNC wants to be around for decades to come.

Those other kinds, the ones less prone to accept a world where we own nothing and rent everything, well, of course they’d be less likely to vaccinate under these conditions, a vaccine that was rushed, efforts to brutally silence any data that counters the narrative of the state and the corporation, all of which seem willing to work hand in hand on some major public debates in America today.

But maybe they’re just worried about our safety and realize we are far too uninformed, or even informable, for that matter, to make decisions on our own regarding our understanding of safety versus liberty, risk versus reward.

Facebook’s New Vulnerability, “Misinformation”

Freedomist Editor August 5, 2021

PGC – Facebook is being accused of letting climate ‘misinformation’ get through its filters by a social media report that is sure to give ammunition to those who would wish to see power more rooted in their particular sphere of power.

Governments around the world can now use its own too-quick willingness to attempt to be responsibile for something like misinformation when it threw in with the coalition of the willing in opposition to the great bad boogeyman Donald J Trump, whose legend was used as a justification for turning the 2020 election into a war to overcome filters or lock down opposition to the shared outcome, a DNC win, by any means necessary.

Now, Facebook’s willingness to dive in to such a sea of responsibility in the name of stopping the literal devil, Donald J Trump, makes them vulnerable to any government ruling wannabes that can now use its accepted ‘responsibility’ of being the filter of true data versus misinformation across the board.

So long as the government officials have the ear and the voice and the power of the state behind them, their definition of misinformation had better be yours, Facebook, else you face fines or other such measures beyond fines, such as Facebook-busting antitrust moves.

When you dance with the devil, don’t be surprised when you find, at the end of the dance, all of your valuables missing.

1943 SCOTUS Ruling Could Kill CRT in Public Schools

Freedomist Editor August 4, 2021

PGC – A 1943 Supreme Court Ruling, West Virginia v Barnette, could undo the whole effort by the DNC to indoctrinate the youth of our land to accept a very specific moral construct, the doctrine of race-based, disenfranchised-based critical thinking that begins with an assumption that generation wrongs must be righted by diminishment of the classes that are part of those generational wrongs.
This type of thinking is antithetical to the spirit of many moral constructs across these lands, including forms of Chrisitanity, Islam, Buddhism, and even non-deistic belief systems like Stoicism or Objevtivism.

Nevermind which might be the one true moral construct, the point is that we live in a pluralistic land of moralities, most all of which can find socio-cultural harmony through the standards of the Bill of Rights. When our public education system, an extension of government, chooses to use its power to influence our children to indoctrinate it into a very specific moral frame, then it no longer represents a republican government, it represents a tyrannical one. Apparently, in 1943, our Supreme Court agreed with me.

Supreme Court precedent opposes Critical Race Theory in public schools

From www.americanthinker.com
2021-08-04 01:00:00

Excerpt:

By 1962, most schools had a small ceremony to start the day that included the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. There were prayers at the beginning of football and basketball games, beseeching good sportsmanship; invocations and benedictions at graduation exercises, encouraging students to succeed and be happy; and separate baccalaureate services, imploring the Almighty to bless these particular persons.

A small group decided to challenge these traditions for violating the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Soon, Supreme Court decisions concluding that these references coerced students into accepting certain notions ending most invocations to a higher power in public school.

The Court in the post-1960s era relied heavily on an earlier case, West Virginia v. Barnette (1943), that said:

If there is any fixed star in our constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.

So, we have come full circle: Even though the Supreme Court majority once banned as coercion – public entities prescribing orthodox thought and forcing citizens to “act their faith herein” — a minority of leftists are relentlessly advancing their ideology in public schools in the form of Critical Race Theory

Amazon Tribute to EU in Form of Fine Nears Billion

Amazon Tribute to EU in Form of Fine Nears $1 Billion

Freedomist Editor August 3, 2021

PGC – The battle for supremacy is long from over among the most powerful in our lands, and in our time they come from two primary sources of real power, the halls of the mega international corporations and the halls of the most powerful governments of the world.

The corporate international powerbase is something never before seen in human history, and it offers those seeking controlling power maybe better ways to get there than the state model did, yet their power relies in large part on the willingness of the host countries to protect them from violent action should the people it serves ever come to such a point in thie relationship with it.

We are seeing these Vehicles of Power dance around each other, even as they work together in certain areas, in areas in which they both see competition being eliminated. Even as Amazon, for instance, is getting hit by a fine of nearly $1 billion by the EU, it will still work with the EU to assure no new competition to its model gets to form, or exist long after it forms. In exchange, the EU gets data as well, intelligence.

I don’t need the papers to prove my point, just a simple understanding of the reality of power to deduce the nature of the dance we are seeing going on around the world.

Amazon operates at levels that affects the very security of nation-states now. Imagine what would happen in America, for instance, if Amazon deliveries just suddenly stopped. It would cause quite a stumble in the flow of commerce.

For all one can imagine, this fine thing was built into the Amazon model well in advance and everyone knew well ahead of time the tribute they would offer to continue to co-exist in this uneasy alliance, where both sides are looking for ways to secure their model as being the more signficiant source of real power in a land that submits to its governing authority claims.

TenCent Gets Broken by Chinese State Media Calling Its Product “Spiritual Opium”

Freedomist Editor August 3, 2021

When the Chinese State wants its corporate extensions to modify their market practices in some significant way, it has a number of ways to go about doing this, but, for the sake of the preservation of the image of the benevolent dictator, the state generally chooses to send those message as gently as possible, in a public way.

Turns out, the best way to communicate to your government extension, which is what these corporations within China really are, is to simply create news shows and broadcast them across the lands and monitor anyone who tries to do the same thing but iwithout state approval.

Can’t have anyone expressing unorthodox views to the public, that’s the state’s job, responsibility, nay, right, and its right alone.

When the State saw that one of its corporate giants was producing a product that was not producing the desred effects of the state, they just create stories that broadcast this new directive in the form of concerns expressed by pretty newscasters in controlled and highly manipulated frames.

The Chinese State Media told Tencent that their games are spiritual opium and electronic drugs and need to be looked into. The company quickly issued a statement committing to the new direction, both of which caused the shares to stumble abraod.

Investors now realize they hold worthless paper should the centralized personality of Chairman Xi decide to declare whatever must be declared through their state-controlled news outliet whatever narrative gets the message across without making the state look like the heavy-handed thug it really is.

It should be noted the context of the word opium being selected, as there were a series of wars, called the Opium Wars, in the mid 1800s fought against the British by the Chinese, who were fighting the Brits’ efforts to open up China markets to grow and sell opium, to sell domestically as well as imports. Chairman Xi chose his words very well.
