Airports are being rebuilt worldwide around your identity. Face recognition and fingerprint scanners are being introduced in the same of “seamless travel” such as “frictionless boarding”. But this autumn’s rollouts around the globe point to a greater shift towards population control, and build a permanent identity layer arriving without public debate about scope, retention or redress.

Bad news, my liege. It seems the plebs are growing wise.
You know the whole “global warming” thing? Let’s just say that agenda is . . . not going well for us. Even our reliable mockingbirds at The New York Times are starting to admit that that particular fairy tale is falling apart. [Read More]
Mandatory digital IDs are coming to the United Kingdom by 2029. Prime Minister Keir Starmer would like the public to believe that verification is a protective measure to curb illegal immigration. Digital IDs are a purely a CONTROL tactic. Once you allow the government to link every citizen to a digital profile, the next step is obvious and of paramount concern - linking that ID to digital currency and banking. You are no longer a free citizen but a ward of the government who can and will use your digital access to the world to track and control you. [Read More]
Bill Gates sounds remarkably like Sir Keir Starmer, UK’s Prime Minister, in his reasoning about the necessity of digital IDs. The globalists invent a problem and then miraculously come up with the solution.
AI might cause some serious issues, as he notes here, but I don’t want the government and other globalist authoritarians ‘solving’ it for me, especially not before it’s a problem. [Read More]
Intelligent terminals and AI agents will be everywhere.
The Chinese State Council released its bold new plan: AI+. AI+ is a state-driven technology initiative that aims to transform every aspect of Chinese society with AI.
This ten-year plan pushes to embed AI in six strategic domains, and rather than one-off actions like investing in data centers, the goal is to fully integrate AI into society with a standardized development process, extensive education, and global cooperation with other countries. [Read More]
Electricity demand for AI data centers is soaring. The result won’t be pretty.
The tech industry’s all-out artificial intelligence push is fueling soaring demand for electricity to run data centers that dot the landscape in Virginia, Ohio and other states. Large, rectangular buildings packed with servers consumed more than 4 percent of the nation’s electricity in 2023, and government analysts estimate that will increase to as much as 12 percent in just three years. That’s partly because computers training and running A.I. systems consume far more energy than machines that stream Netflix or TikTok. [Read More]
Thailand has become a test case for the use of biometric data in every facet of life. Facial recognition data is required for any single transfer above 50,000 baht (around $1,580), daily transfers above 200,000 baht, and any international transfers from personal accounts. All major Thai banks, such as Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn (KBank), SCB, Krungthai, and Krungsri, require customers to submit biometric data, and the Bank of Thailand (BOT) provides the general guidelines that these banks must follow.

Stanford University has issued a chilling warning about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. The number of job opportunities for young professionals in AI-affected sectors across the United States has dropped by 13% over the past three years.
According to a report from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, AI is going to reduce the number of jobs available to human beings, and has already done so. Researchers cautioned that smart technologies are swiftly reshaping career prospects for entry-level workers, and the future is looking increasingly bleak.
