The conspiracy theories are all out there in force.
But as the joke goes: What is the differnce between a conspiracy theory and the news? Answer: About 3 months.
The problem is that so many conspiracy theories came true that no one trusts the news anymore.
So is the plan of the World Economic forum and the global leaders to make everyone get a health card digital passport? Forbes article here.
While the United States government has not issued a federal digital vaccine pass, a national standard has nevertheless emerged. To date, 21 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico offer accessibility to the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination developed through the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), a global coalition of public and private stakeholders including Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, the Mayo Clinic and other health and tech heavyweights.....
hey it's easy and lets you get into places without a hassle. And it only requires your date of birth...
and hey it gives you power over your own data, so why worry about it. And at the end it notes that this will be in place in case we have another epidemic.
and hey it's going world wide
so why worry?
NSFW link NSFW link2 discusses why:
The core hypothesis here is that western democratic governments (which in normal times have personal privacy constraints) can leverage the emergency to mandate a digital identity and proof of vaccination with associated QR codes and cell phone-based contact tracing in the interests of “public health”...
The logic apparently is that the western democracies, ... can both economically and politically benefit by implementing a universal social credit system akin to that which has been pioneered and gradually implemented ...in the People’s Republic of China by the Central Communist Party..
there are rumors on NSFW sites that the reason Justin Trudeau stopped his banking shennanigans because it opened a lot of people's eyes to the power of the government to deny you your money.
update: the covid crisis was used as an excuse to push for digital identification.
So what happens when herd immunity hits, they find the vaccine doesn't stop the virus, and people just get sick and tired of obeying stupid rules?
Place conspiracy theory here. Lots of hype on conspiracy sites pointing out how Trudeau used the banks to shut down cash to the protester and (what is worse) those who dared to send donations to the protesters.
he has now reportedly pulled back from that decision:
One conspiracy said that he caused a run on the banks and they companies. Anther said that the NWO types stopped him because they planned to use Canada to push digital currancy etc. and that this would cause people to oppose the plan since they would realize how easy it would be to punish them for badthought.
So Trudeau's shennanigans might end up increasing opposition to the vaccine, and especially opposition to the vaccine passport idea.
and the omicron is not stopped by the vaccine or masks, but has a lower death rate, and if you survive, you will be immune to all forms of covid: i.e. herd immunity.
As for the latest conspiracy theory by Russian trolls is that they were taking out the US funded "biowarfare" labs in the Ukraine.
Probably, like Sadam's biowarfare labs, these labs are to make vaccines and do research on organisms so that they could make vaccines (which is what the Wuhan lab was doing)... but could easily be converted to make bioweapons (or accidentally release germs that are bioweapons).
LOL. The real reason is that Russia wants it's empire back, and needs a Black sea port and Ukraine's wheat, but never mind.
The dirty little secret is that Putin is doing it because he can. (italics mine).
Trump was seen as crazy enough to start a war if you pushed him, so he was scary. But Biden is seen as weak, and Europe has been slacking in their own defense for years. They did didlysquat to stop the war in Yugoslavia and will probably do nothing now, although Poland and other eastern European states might help, knowing they are next.
The problem is, of course, the world's sluggish push back to Putin sends a green light to China to attack Taiwan... and that would have huge implications to the computer industry world wide (they make the best chips).
And if Taiwan goes, will Luzon be far behind?
Probably not an invasion: the last time their poxies tried that they lost. But they could use their economic power to make the Philippines a puppet for them, i.e. by denying ports to the USA and denying access to the US navy to keep the sealanes in the West Philippine sea open (for shipping to Korea and Japan). Not to mention that the main internet cable from Asia to the Americas goes south of Taiwan (when an earthquake cut it about ten years ago, we were off line for weeks... all internet traffic had to go west through India and the Middle East.)
Which is why the up coming election is important for the USA.
By the way: I am hearing planes going over at low altitude again. One big base is near us, and yup. The Philippine special forces are doing training exercizes there with the Special forces of the Yanks: but not it's not about China, it's just an annual training exercize that goes on all the time. ABSCBN article here.
As for the Ukraine: one way to guage how serious things are is to see if the OFW are coming home. Right now, about 30 out of the 300 Filipinos working there are arranging to come home. So it's serious, but not a major catastrophe yet.
something not being discussed: The MSM seems to be reporting as if this is a conventional war. But of course Russia not only could deny Western Europe their natural gas to stay warm, but use cyber attacks to shut down the infrastructure all over.
Stinger missiles and an armed populace caused problems for the Russian invasion...and they are being helped by Mud Mud Glorious Mud:
The outcome of the invasion will be more obvious within a week. Much depends on the effectiveness of the local resistance to Russian forces and the roads they use. It is currently the “mud” season in Ukraine where most of the snow is gone and replaced by weeks of mud, which limits off-road travel by wheeled vehicles.
Lots more there to put what is going on into perspective.
