Excerpt:
"IBM, the company that helped keep track of the trains (and people) headed to the east during the late unpleasantness in Germany, has filed a patent for a new system to keep track of EVs – and whether people will be allowed to charge them – according to their social credit score.

The latter being a system that the Chinese government uses to make sure people in China are Good Germans, by rewarding “good behavior” – that is, obedience – and punishing “bad behavior,” i.e., disobedience. If you fail to exhibit the proper attitude – and actions – you’re locked down, economically. Electronically.

Biometrically.

You face (or phone) is scanned and then you’re allowed to buy (that is, debit, via your electronic currency) a soda from a vending machine – or not – depending on how good a German you are. And it’s much more than being allowed to get a soda from a biometrically controlled vending machine. Your ability to travel is likewise metered according to how obedient – or not – you’ve been.

The same is in the works for us – and IBM is a key player, as it was in Germany all those years ago.

As an aside, is it not interesting that while the political figureheads of the German Reich were put on trial – and several hanged – there were no trials for complicit corporations such as Thyssen, Krupp, Beyer, Rheinmetall – or IBM? James Watson, the CEO of IBM, received a medal – the Order of the Eagle – from Der Fuhrer himself.

For his “service to the Reich.”"
