Great article, but a few challenges:

- the assumption that the money printing was to address covid or net zero seems false. This was the propaganda, sure, but no real evidence exists that this was genuine. The reverse seems more likely: covid was staged to address a desire to print money, depopulate, advance a bioweapon program, or related nefariousness.

- Portugal and Holland have not completely reversed policies on drugs.

- Digital ID propaganda is that it improves security and you have robustly argued it cannot. Yet that seems a limited hangout. The real threat, confirmed by policy documents, whistleblowers, and out in the open planning, is for digital ID to form part of a population control grid, including vax passports, social credit scores, collective punishment, smart contracts with cbdc's, 'smart cities', etc. This already existed on a smaller scale in Australia for many years. Eg. for those protecting children from the harms of the childhood vax schedule, both parents and kids were/are second class citizens, unable to access childcare, healthcare, taxed higher etc. All recorded on a centralised, digitised system.

Good comments thanks Shane. Debt-based money system, so more debt, more money chasing the same amount of goods & services. If you go back far enough these are Marxist eugenicists, but I guess my point is even so, from an IT POV the Digital ID makes no sense. And yes, truly, they badly want us in their digital slavery system, my theory on that is that slavery is the best business model for them, pay workers zero, of course that's what it will tend to. And I was in Amsterdam a few months ago and yes there are cafes still, but hard drugs are no longer decrim. Much too much crime around them

Centralising anything is always a bad idea. Having all your eggs in one basket is inviting trouble. Also they have no place in knowing anything about you. They are public servants and are supposed to be working for us and should be transparent as we are paying them.

People need to think about a plan, the Optus outage (and previous breach) both smell very fishy to us. The first thing Communications Minister Rowland (a natural born totalitarian) said when commenting on Optus was "The Number One priority of the government is keeping people safe". Huh? You mean, like, safe from a 99.5% survivable virus, like you did last time? Second thing she said: "The government stands ready to step in and assist". I think people need to get over the idea that these people have *any* of our best interests at heart. It's about control, period end of story. And the problem with a "Cyber emergency" of course would be that we would have no way of disproving the official line, as we have been able to do with the Wuhan bioweapon.

You know they’ve got your best interests in mind when ASPI is endorsing it. 😀

Every bad IT idea spawns from the "oh but it will be so convenient!" mantra. So we get things like storing passwords and credit card details in browsers.

And as Thomas Sowell said "the social history of the last few decades in the West has been a process of replacing what works with what sounds good".
