Something thing you occasionally hear when earwigging in cafes/pubs/supermarkets is “It just isn’t that big of a deal,” or “It just won’t get to that,” or “Why do you always think the worst of everything?”. (‘Ow mooch ?” in Yorkshire). Funny how the same people can be utterly convinced that their own pet catastrophes — Trump returning to power, Climate Catastrophe, Systemic Racism, White Supremacy, Overpopulation, or the Rise of the Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar Right—are existential threats that will end life as we know it unless we surrender every freedom immediately to stop them. But mention Digital IDs, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), vaccine passports, social credit systems, or the creeping transhumanist agenda, and suddenly you’re the paranoid one wearing a tinfoil hat.
Now, it is accepted that big catastrophes do happen. History is littered with them. People know this on some level; they’re terrified of asteroids, super-volcanoes, or a rogue AI cooked up by some evil billionaire. But if a real catastrophe does strike, it will never—NEVER—be the one the rest of us warned about. It will always be the one the agenda designated – usually by the legacy media – as the emergency du jour: a new “variant,” a cyber-attack blamed on Russia or Iran, a false-flag “domestic terrorist” event, or some completely fabricated crisis accompanied by wall-to-wall AI-generated footage so convincing that even the skeptics will pause for a second.
If the ice caps suddenly melted tomorrow and London was underwater, that would fit perfectly into people’s pre-approved narrative of climate doom. Never mind the decades of documented geo-engineering programs—HAARP, cloud seeding on a planetary scale, or the declassified proposals to “own the weather” as a tool of national security. No, it will simply be “global warming” and therefore your fault for driving an Chelsea tractor or not eating bugs. Anything that is actually barreling toward us—anything the critical thinkers have been screaming about for years—is simply not on the radar. “What’s so bad about digital currency?” they ask. “Why should we worry about digital IDs?”
Let it be spelt out slowly:
A programmable Central Bank Digital Currency combined with a mandatory digital ID is the end of human freedom as we have ever known it.
It is a panopticon prison with invisible bars. Every single transaction you make can be tracked, taxed, approved, or denied in real time. Bought too much red meat this month? Sorry, transaction declined—doctor’s orders for the planet. Donated to the wrong political party or a dissident journalist? Account frozen. Travelled outside your 15-minute city zone without permission? Fines deducted automatically. Your social credit score just dipped because you posted the wrong meme or because an algorithm decided your carbon footprint is unacceptable? Good luck buying groceries. But, as they say, it is all necessary, all good for us in the long run, that’s what they say . . . and if you break the rules? Then clearly you deserved to be punished. Now this isn’t science fiction; it’s already being piloted in Chyyyna, Nigeria, the Bahamas, and quietly tested across EUrope. The infrastructure is being built right now while people yawn and scroll. And yet, outside of GP people shrug. Why?
Perhaps because most of them have been psychologically and educationally groomed for decades to believe that socialism, Marxism, or outright communism are not only benign but morally superior. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” sounds noble when you’ve never watched the State decide what your needs actually are. They think communism is free healthcare, student-debt forgiveness, and government UBI cheques. They have no idea it’s secret police at 3 a.m., neighbours denouncing neighbours for extra bread rations, gulags, re-education camps, forced confessions, and a boot stamping on a human face—forever. Under real communism the average person does not get a cozy government apartment and unlimited Netflix. You get assigned housing (if you’re lucky), ration cards, a job you cannot quit, travel restrictions, censorship, quotas, surveillance, and the constant low-grade terror that saying the wrong thing at the wrong time will disappear your entire family. Your children will be indoctrinated from kindergarten to report “thought crimes” at home. Your savings will be worthless the day the regime decides to wipe out the currency again. And if you resist? A bullet, a labour camp, or slow starvation.
That’s what it looked like in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe 1945-89, Mao’s China, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, North Korea today, and increasingly in the “soft” versions stealthily being dripped into the West. Most in the West have never gone to bed hungry because the state decided their political loyalty was insufficient. They think it can’t happen here because they’ve been told “this time it will be different”—democratic socialism, stakeholder capitalism, the Great Reset with rainbow flags, lanyards and pronouns. They sincerely believe the same entities that lied about COVID origins, efficacy of masks, safety of the shots, and the “temporary” nature of emergency powers will suddenly become benevolent overlords who only want to tuck them in at night and keep them safe.
When the digital gulag finally closes its doors, they will be genuinely shocked. They will not connect the dots between the “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” mantra they parroted and the fact that they can no longer buy food because their social credit score is 312 out of 800. They will blame the common sense thinkers, or “fascists,” or “Russian bots,” anyone except the architects who spent years telling them it would all be fine.
“It will never get that bad here.”
Famous last words. Just ask the Venezuelans who voted for the socialist dream in 1999 and were eating zoo animals by 2017. Or the Cubans who still wait in line for cooking oil sixty-five years after the revolution. Or the East Germans who were told the Berlin Wall was an “anti-fascist protection barrier” right up until the moment they were shot trying to climb it. History is screaming at us. Those of us on this side of the divide hear it. The majority only appear to hear the soothing voice of the kindly state telling them everything will be okay if they just keep walking quietly into the pen.
The Dance of the Epstein Files Release has also been incorporated into the programme. Upcoming will be more drip fed great ‘revelations’, all designed to discredit the current system. The controllers will have the serfs begging for a clean broom to sweep the detritus away by the time that they have finished. And of course, they will offer their “off the shelf pre-packaged” solution to satisfy public outrage. In order to understand where this is going, we have to look for those who come out of this smelling of roses. Possibly some new faces or current known names who will rise up on the world stage as paragons of virtue. These will be sold to the masses as the new brooms to sweep away the old establishment and usher in a New World Order of Utopian Honesty, Trust, Confidence and Hope, all managed by a technocratic ‘elite’. And everyone will live happily ever after………………. or so they will think until the digital gulag shuts its doors for good on the inmates trapped inside. And just like that, “It’s not that big of a deal” becomes the epitaph of a free society.
