Technototalitarianism, Part Three, by Robert Gore
The U.S. government has a long history of springing measures on the public that were inimical to public’s interests and liberty. There’s always an extraordinary “crisis” that justifies these measures. President Lincoln got the ball rolling, using southern secession to impose his many unconstitutional depredations, the biggest of which was the War Between the States.
Any notion that Americans will rise up in mass opposition to imposition of technototalitarianism is a triumph of hope over 164 years of experience. That the globalists and technototalitarians make no secret of their plans bespeaks their confidence that they can overcome any opposition that emerges. By now, the basics of those plans are well-known: digital IDs, programmable digital currencies, pre-crime surveillance and detention, facial and behavioral pattern recognition, and social credit scores. (Remember Larry Ellison’s quote: “Citizens will be on their best behavior.”) Probably following later on once the control grid is in place will be 15-minute cities, eating bugs, transhumanism, and owning nothing and being happy about it.

What this movement has going for it is JEALOUSY from all the fiscally and militarily smaller countries and large numbers of people who seek relevancy over US Hegemony (paid for with hard work, freedom, blood and capitalism. Jealousy identical to the type at the core of communism. The resolution sought is World Governance over the US, and more government and totalitarianism, because taking your freedom is more important than having any myself. Jealousy, the fuel of the left every time.
They live without electricity. When it is easily available. They live their values.
Yes, we are headed for a technocracy. It will either be Utopian or Dystopian.
Personally, it will be Utopia for the rulers/leaders. And a Dystopia for the rest of us.

In that podcast, they point out that Stable Coins now do more money daily than ACH transfers and VISA+MASTERCARD... (Separately).
Unfortunately a coin that is stable around $1 is great for paying bills, as a currency, it is still not money (it clearly just represents the inflation). But it makes it easy and safe to transact.
interesting characters, and educate the reader on the culture, architecture, fashions, and food of the era.
Coincidentally, I am reading Goldfinger now. As you might have guessed, the books are more engaging than the movies were.
(Unlike AS, they are about 200 pages each.)
Goldfinger was right about one thing: gold is better protection for wealth than any currency.
I'll give this edition a +1 because any reference to Goldfinger deserves that much. Goldfinger was such a great villain.
