Discussion on Digital Identity and Carbon Credits

The digital identity-

Mm-hmm

... is not just a passport that you will have on an-

Mm

... on your iPhone in a digital form.

It entails just about everything the government would like to know

about you.

Mm.

And yesterday in the Dutch media, we saw a perfect example of what it

could entail in the near future.

Mm.

We had the CEO of one of the largest Dutch banks say, "Why

don't we start with a personal carbon credit?"

Oh.

A carbon wallet, she called it actually.

Yeah.

So right in line with the plans that the World Economic Forum people have

for

us, and she said it in a way that was particularly funny.

She said, "Well, if everyone gets an individual personal

carbon

credit, why don't we make it so that rich

people who, for example, wanna go on holiday a little too often-

Uh-huh

... can buy personal carbon credit from other

people who, for example, can't

afford buying plane tickets or eating meat too often.

So we can, that way, swap it out."

Oh, so, so if, if Bill Gates or,

or Leonardo DiCaprio's carbon footprint is getting a bit

too big, uh, then some peasant living

in his hovel upcountry somewhere can

sell his, uh... And he can't afford to go to Saint-Tropez,

but he'll be able to sell his carbon

allowance to Leonardo DiCaprio so Leonardo

can park his yacht in Saint-Tropez for a couple of extra days.

Exactly right. That's it. So what will happen is the richer, r-

the rich will get

richer, the poor will get poorer, and they're saying it openly as

if it's not a

controversial thing-

Mm

... at all.

Mm.

It's neo-feudalism.

Yeah.

That's what it is.

Mm.

And they don't mind, you know? It's just, yeah, okay.

Th- then they said, "Well, it, it's just a thought experiment," because

obviously a

lot of people were kind of upset about this communist ideal that they just

presented to the people on TV as a good idea.

Uh-

She then said, "Oh, no, it's, it's a thought experiment." Well,

we've heard that

before.

Yeah, yeah. We've had a, we've had too many thought ag- But it

was interesting to

see. We, as you were talking, we saw that banker.

She was being interviewed on a Dutch radio show, and she got a little

too relaxed, and actually as, as they say in America, said

the quiet part out loud. You're not actually meant to- You're

me- you're not actually meant... There, there she is.

She's chatting on the, in the radio studio,

and she just gets a little carried

away, and, uh, we weren't meant to announce.

Now, you know,

there's the, uh, a, um, bank vice president

in, uh, Canada, I think it was the Canadian Imperial Bank of

Commerce, which is one

of the biggest banks in Canada, uh, said pretty much the

same thing and, and sold it on, "This is

going to be so convenient-

Ah

... because all your information will be

centrally located. So we can save the planet, we're just

gonna keep track of how many miles you do in your car, whether

you've taken one too many vacations in the Greek islands,

uh, if you're eating too many cheeseburgers.

It'll all be centrally located, uh, and that will make it

all the more convenient for you."

Yeah, and they're, they're being honest.

So they're-

Mm

... exposing their true agenda.

Mm.

Because obviously the best way to get to a modern person's heart is-

Mm

... to say that it's convenient for them.

Mm.

So yes, you won't have to carry all your different

papers and your passports, but

the downside of it is, and I hope that people will start to see this,

that the

government can shut you down.

Yeah.

So you, you know, if you wanna buy a burger-

Yeah

... red screen. No, Mark, not for you. That flight, not for you.

Oh, but you can just buy it if you have enough money, right?

Mm.

So they're being very open and honest to what their goal is here.

Mm.

So we should take their word seriously and say, "Hell no."

Yeah.

And instead, this woman going off on radio

and saying exactly what she

thinks. Now, we had lash, uh, backlash, right?

Yeah.

So people were upset about it, but she's invited on national television

tonight.

So in an hour she'll be sitting there talking about this great thought

experiment-

Yes. Yes

... and then suddenly it's part of the debate,

and it's accepted.

Whereas, I would say we should cancel these

communists immediately and say, "Get

the hell out of my private life. I'm not tr- having you track me

and decide what I

eat and where I go."
