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.

Boris loves 3 word slogans and ‘Build Back Better’ was not invented by the WEF..

Given the debate on tech and manipulation, I thought this might be pertinent:

@TheReluctantPhoenix

No, you're quite right, but it is associated with the WEF message.

@AcornAutumn

Just stating for the record, I don't believe there's a depopulation agenda.
A depopulation agenda wouldn't make sense. To draw on Marx theory, the rich always need a 'reserve army of labour' to keep downward pressure on wages. Population growth is of no consequence to them, hence why wages paid to, for example, garment workers in Bangladesh, India etc - which have huge populations - can remain so low.

"When questioned, the Department of Health declined to discuss how this misstep had occurred."
I bet it bloody did. Public officials are paid for by us. They should be 100pc accountable ffs.

Sorry to be thick Hasn't the whole thing always been about collecting location data?

I'm sure Build Back Better is a slogan from the UN for recovery to better than before after big disasters.

It has been hijacked by world leaders to push for this 'new normal' we keep hearing about. Not going back to the way things were but building back greener, with more CSR and more equality (not my words - the general gist).

It has been confused with the WEF Great Reset because that's sort of the goal of the Great Reset too - to press the 'reset' button on capitalism and endless financial growth and do things a different way, supposedly fairer, way.

The UK government seemed to cement this confusion by constantly using the words 'reset' and 'Build Back Better' last year until they realised the public were not being subconsciously buttered up and acclimatised by these NLP phrases but were hearing them loud and clear and coming to their own conclusion about why gov were saying these things (i.e. the fabric of this thread).

These two things also align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

Whatever the theory, it is clear there is a high level agreement to change the way the world works post-pandemic and it has been in the making for some time. The rapid evolution of AI/Big Data/IOT can facilitate these things, and would probably do a great job were it not for the inconvenience of human rights and human desire to live unaugmented by tech.

savethegrannies · 12/04/2021 13:27

Interesting, I thought that as well AcornAutumn. It also seems odd the kickback is coming from tech businesses on this?
That said, public officials have clearly over-stepped the mark here. At the very least they should be answerable.

btwwhichonespink · 12/04/2021 13:32

For those totally opposed to the ideas in this thread, that there is a global push to radically change everything we know with ultra-green carbon zero policies, global mass vaccinations and health interventions and increase in surveillance on a global scale, what do you make of Bill Gates and his various influences and agendas?

He seems to be involved with and funding everything related to this pandemic. It's just so odd. Until very recently George Soros was always the Bogeyman but Bill Gates seems to have taken the heat off him this last year Grin

btwwhichonespink · 12/04/2021 13:36

@AcornAutumn yes, indeed it has!

Thanks for the article. It's funny but I am totally opposed to this tracking tech and the future vax passport. But at the same time, the data the government are trying to get via that update is actually interesting and useful in terms of collating meaningful information from it and it informing decisions. My personal side and technical side are fighting this one out!

I don't understand it. I thought the whole thing was predicated on location in the first place.

If you have time and inclination to explain it, i'd be grateful but obviously feel free to ignore me!

re Gates I would say two things. One, there is no such thing as altruism, and certainly not at the top of the business world. Gates isn't doing all these things because he is a nice bloke is he? I mean you don't get to where he has by being nice. So you then have to ask, what is his goal? What is his agenda? Very reasonable questions.

But such a high level agreement would entail all the world's governments working together to achieve the same goals. Do you really think that's going to happen?

But that's literally what things like Paris climate stuff, WHO and UN are for.

yes, governments have disagreements but there are lots of global organisations with unified aims.

@AcornAutumn how I understand it is that the data is held only on the phone in app data when you check in somewhere and you can use it yourself to tell T&T where you have been. The new update was to allow you to agree to your data being uploaded to the NHS T&T team automatically if you test positive so you don't have to remember anything.

When someone who has been at that venue tests positive, the NHS app (from the in-phone database) will inform you you've been somewhere where there was a positive case. No data leaves your phone, but I guess the app 'hunts' for updates on venues with +ve cases.

The bluetooth part of the app senses if you have been close to someone else who later tests positive, but that's a phone to phone thing with the api being the bridge.

There are 193 countries signed up to the SDG.

I don't know how many might be signed up to building back better or resetting or even if they are signed up at all. But huge numbers of countries signing up to things is fairly common. The reason I say it is clear they have agreed something is they are all using the same language, strategies and seem to have the same goals. Coincidence is possible yes, but unless there is a glitch in the matrix then this number of coincidences is unlikely.

What is SDG?

btwwhichonespink · 12/04/2021 14:16

@pinkearedcow

What is SDG?
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030

You may have heard 'Agenda 2030' which is the same thing.

It has also been called a conspiracy theory bizarrely.

Re Gates, I can understand why he is the subject of so many conspiracy theories. This image shows the 2018 breakdown of WHO funding. In the top 5 you have 3 nation states (USA, UK, Germany) and then The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and GAVI, which is also a Gates initiative. There has been at least one WHO whistleblower who claims that Bill Gates essentially has the influence at the WHO that would be granted to a nation state, and if it is true then why should that be the case? No one elected him. He has no credentials in public health. He’s just a ruthless businessman with a big sack of money.

This is just another case of corporate interests infiltrating the public sector.

What if there was health implications for 5G and the like (I’m not saying there is, I’m saying what if—it’s a thought experiment). Given Bill Gates’ background in tech, do you think he would encourage the WHO to investigate the possibility, or would he discourage it? And given the amount of money he puts up, would the WHO listen to him, or not?

These questions are troubling.

Ah yes the Agenda 2030 "conspiracy."

Why is everything called a conspiracy when it's clearly not? It's real. It's easy found information.

I don't understand it.

It's like the Denver airport murals. Really weird and horrifying. We had a layover at Denver airport and went to see them (and all the other really weird shit scattered around at that airport).

The friend I was with was saying how it was a conspiracy theory and they weren't real. While standing in front of the quite horrific things with me Confused

Wildswim · 12/04/2021 14:43

Very troubling. I disappeared down somewhat of a rabbit hole last night and got reading about the numerous vaccines that Gates has donated foisted onto (with strict terms and conditions) Africa, India and third world countries. Allegedly, in several cases, hundreds of girls and women were left infertile and hundreds of others died.

Robert F Kennedy Jnr has a lot to say about the corruption of Big Pharma in relation to vaccines in particular - apparently they don't undergo the same regulations as drugs, hence the experimental nature of trialling them, unethically, in third world countries; he also points out that Big Pharma simultaneously invents conditions and their remedies (E.g ADHD and Ritalin). He has been silenced by MSM but I watched an interview where he appeared on Russia Today.

Also, the president of Tanzania, the one world leader who denied Covid and refused to cooperate with WHO in medicating and vaccines, is now dead.

Heysiriyouknob · 12/04/2021 14:47

What happens in Africa with trials of all sorts is criminal. When you start reading into it, it's jaw dropping.

But yet again, people don't want to hear it.

Bill Gates and his wife are terrible people IMO.
