Two days ago, this event took place, re Scaling Up Digital ID.

www.weforum.org/events/global-technology-governance-summit-2021/sessions/scaling-up-digital-identity-systems

A written summary here

sociable.co/government-and-policy/vaccine-passports-drive-forced-consent-standardization-digital-identity-schemes-wef-summit/

It refers to vaccine passports in many ways.

Some posters seem to think it's about showing your vax status. It isn't. These tech developments are happening in front of us. No secrecy, no conspiracy. If you are happy with it, great.

Quotes include:

“I’m hoping with the desire and global demand for some sort of vaccine passport — so that people can get traveling and working again — will drive forced consent, standardization, and frankly, cooperation across the world” — Sandra Ro, CEO at Global Blockchain Business Council


“Our goal is to enable all life situations with this digital ID” — Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation

He hopes to achieve this in 3 years.

Thanks for this, interesting if horrifying reading. I am far more scared of the way things are going than I am of covid.

AcornAutumn · 09/04/2021 18:27

I was worried about the seeming obsession with blockchain tech but couldn't put my finger on why. Now I know.

I'm never sure if people don't know or don't care about the tracking. My sister and best friend think I'm raging against the inevitable.

I'm currently at - If I can't stop it, surely collective action can at least delay it? Mitigate it?

Thanks for starting this thread @AcornAutumn...... this really does need to be spelled out, because one key word jumps out at me - forced.

We've been suckered in by convenience and games, and we're close to the point that will be no element of choice in how far we engage, and then how much coercion into "being a good citizen" by whatever standard is applied will be next.

The pandemic has definitely provided a fertile breeding ground for both disaster capitalism and surveillance capitalism.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 09/04/2021 18:28

I definitely want to resist - but will enough others be willing to?

AcornAutumn · 09/04/2021 18:29

And she says "forced consent" like there is such a thing!

Well, we can start here and we can only try.

It amazes me how some people are dismissing this as conspiracy theories when there's not even an attempt made to hide it.

The WEF twitter feed is honestly like they're trolling us.

I do think - well, hope really - that there will be an immense wave of anger about this. Be interesting to see how the London demo on the 24th goes.

MercyBooth · 09/04/2021 18:49

Chilling. They must have kissed the sky when Covid came along!

AcornAutumn · 09/04/2021 18:54

Max "It amazes me how some people are dismissing this as conspiracy theories when there's not even an attempt made to hide it."

Yes, I admit I was in hysterical tears in April 2020 so when I told people "this is public information" they thought I was falling for fake news.

But I don't do news much. Original source material is better.

“Forced consent”, indeed.

They can fuck right off with this technocratic bullshit.

It's be a rape defence next.

That’s v interesting reading, I hadn’t thought of bigger picture.
AcornAutumn · 09/04/2021 19:29

paxman I'm concerned that many people don't know how far advanced all this is

If you can help spread the word, it would be much appreciate it.

Prelockdown, my best mate used to travel a lot for work. The fact that the tech that checks people into their flight as soon as they enter the airport is the same tech that can be used for this kind of thing - doesn't even appear to have occurred to people actually using that tech!

MaxNormal · 09/04/2021 19:36

If we applied the term "forced consent" to a sexual encounter we'd find that we already had a word for it.

savethegrannies · 09/04/2021 19:39

People have been warning on this very forum that lockdowns were the thin end of the wedge since this time last year. Plenty of people posted interesting, factual stuff and got called names, abused and dismissed as deniers or conspiracy theorists. MN even removed some perfectly reasonable posts.
There are hundreds of threads where this is the case.
The future really does look bleak as this all looks like a done deal from where I'm sat.

MrsGradyOldLady · 09/04/2021 19:42

It's frightening how fast the WEF plans are moving now. I will resist as long as possible but I do think we will be in the minority. You only need to look on here and other social media to see how much support vaccine passports are gaining.

Dolciedolly · 09/04/2021 19:44

This is scary our poor children I hope there is civil unrest soon

I agree with you.

It won't be long before people try and derail this thread with accusations of us being tin foil hat wearers, thickos, selfish, science deniers etc.

There's none so blind as those that will not see.

CautiousBlonde · 09/04/2021 19:52

Hey guys I’m one of you! 🌈💚

I’m really concerned about how the future is going to look.

Our rights are being taken away from before our very eyes and yet it seems that most people don’t see it. The vaccine which is in its human trial period NOW (all the animals used in previous trials died once they had been exposed to further virus). The Lateral Flow Tests that are only able to tell you that you have or have had a virus, not which of the 1,000s if viruses It is or when/if you still have it Confused

And it the list goes on and on and on and on.

I’m going on the 24th! 🙌🏻

CautiousBlonde · 09/04/2021 19:55

Anyone who disagrees is getting censored

Wonder if this thread will go poof

AcornAutumn · 09/04/2021 19:58

I've been horrified at lack of privacy in law for ages

All anyone I know says is "we don't need privacy laws but people should be decent enough not to hack the phone of a missing schoolgirl".

That's never been enough.

I don’t think we can stop it, although I’ll never give up trying.

I’m learning survival skills for when either

  1. this blows up completely and the unvaccinated are shunned from society

Or

  1. The global tech currency becomes a thing and those who aren’t microchipped (And vaccinated, of course ) are no longer able to buy or sell

I’m quite surprised the Pope is jumping up and down screaming “Revelation people, the bit right at the end which talks about the mark of the beast.....”
