Speaker describes digitally verified ID and its growth in China. In China, a traffic camera can catch you jaywalking, and the digital ID system has your blood, genetic code, and photograph, plus it can identify how you walk. So even without a visible face, you can be picked up by gate. It will convict you of jaywalking and take money out of your bank account with no intermediating judiciary at all and show a picture of you to the people in the neighborhood, so they know that you have jaywalked and reduce your social credit score. If your social credit score falls below a certain level, then you can't you can't buy drinks from a vending machine. You can't play video games. You can't go on a train. You can't get out of your fifteen minute city. All that's already in place in China. Do you think that that's that would be helpful or unhelpful? It would be I think it would bring in and has already in China. I think it'll bring in a totalitarian tyranny. So 100% complete that it would make George Orwell's 1984 look like a picnic.

In China, if caught jaywalking by a traffic camera, the digital ID system with your blood, genetic code, and photo can identify you by your walk. It convicts you, deducts money from your bank account, and publicly shames you, lowering your social credit score. A low score restricts buying drinks, playing games, riding trains, or leaving your city. This system is already in place in China.

Speaker 0: What about the public attitude held by millions of everyday Americans? All I've got on a computer is pictures of my family, CCTV cameras that are prevalent in a ton of American cities and overseas capitals. Those cameras are your friend if you're innocent and have nothing to hide. Speaker 1: Well, I'd say that's very much what the average Chinese citizen believed or perhaps even still to this day believes. But we see how these same technologies are being applied to create what they call the social credit system. If any of these family photos, if any of your activities online, if your purchases, if your associations, if your friends are in any way different from what the government or the powers that be of the moment would like them to be, you're no longer able to purchase train tickets. You're no longer able to board an airplane. You may not be able to get a passport. You may not be eligible for a job. You might not be able to work for the government. All of these things are increasingly being created and programmed and decided by algorithms, and those algorithms are fueled by precisely the innocent data that our devices are creating all of the time constantly, invisibly, quietly right now. Our devices are casting all of these records that we do not see being created, that in aggregate seem very innocent. Even if you can't see the content of these communications, the activity records, what the government calls metadata, which they argue they do not need a warrant to collect, tells the whole story. And these activity records are being created and shared and collected and intercepted constantly by companies and governments. And ultimately it means as they sell these, as they trade these, as they make their businesses on the backs of these records, what they are selling is not information, what they are selling is us. They're selling our future. They're selling our past. They are selling our history, our identity, and ultimately, they are stealing our power.

Speaker 0 argues that for many years, dating back to the 1990s, looking at China today reveals what might be planned for the West tomorrow. In particular, China has millions of cameras in the cities equipped with facial recognition technology, enabling them to locate you in minutes wherever you are. This system operates alongside a social credit framework: people earn points for behaviors that align with the government’s preferences and lose points for actions that don’t. If you lose enough credits, you are excluded from mainstream society. The speaker notes that during the COVID-19 period, people who refused to get the jab or to wear masks were excluded from mainstream society, describing that as a pre-run or preview of where society could be headed. The argument is that, in China, losing enough credits means you cannot board trains or planes and you cannot function within mainstream society. The speaker contends that this social credit system is rapidly moving into the West, facilitated by digital identity, digital currency, and AI-driven control over many aspects of life. The transcript highlights examples of ongoing surveillance- and control-related measures in Western contexts, such as supermarkets that require a QR code for entry. It questions what happens to those who do not want to participate in such a system, asking what if someone doesn’t have a smartphone. It notes that in some cases, entry to places like supermarkets could be denied if you lack the required digital credentials. The speaker also points out that payments might be made with a fingerprint, indicating that this is part of a broader shift toward pervasive digital and biometric controls. Overall, the speaker presents a narrative in which China’s social credit and pervasive surveillance serve as a template for Western adoption, suggesting a future where digital IDs, digital currencies, AI governance, and biometric verification create a tightly controlled social order, with access to everyday activities and services contingent on compliance with the system.

The speaker discusses a new shopping technology that enables customers to ring up their own items. They point to a screen that shows options like “start shopping” and express that this could change how people shop by reducing the need for cashiers. The speaker imagines a scenario where you could pay for everything directly through the cart, with phrases such as “pay for your shit like this, continue as guest,” and then proceeds to test the system. They describe the steps involved: adding a product, “Face it,” then “You scan the shit as you put it in the cart. Place it in the cart.” They note not to hold items and to “Just put it in there.” The speaker references instructions or a tutorial section, saying “How to add produce. Look.” They emphasize the overall concept by stating, “This new technology, man, putting this shit right,” and then reiterate the core idea that you can pay for everything “right through the cart.” They highlight that the system appears to support EBT, calling it part of “the new wave right here” and describing it as “the new technology shit.” Throughout, the speaker pivots between demonstrations and assertions, repeatedly connecting the technology to broader implications: that it could be a way to “put the cashiers out of work” and that this represents a transformative shift in shopping. They reinforce the idea with enthusiastic repetition, underscoring the notion that this technology signifies a new trend or wave in retail, culminating in the closing remark that the new technology aims to remove the need for cashier staff altogether, with ongoing emphasis on paying through the cart and the inclusion of EBT as part of the system.

China is investing in tech companies to create a surveillance network using citizens' official ID cards. One company, MEGVY, received a large investment and named its technology Skynet. Despite the negative connotations from the movie Terminator, Skynet in China is seen as a positive system. MEGVY's facial recognition technology can track faces in public and cross-check them against a criminal database. Over 3,000 fugitives have been caught in just one year using this system. In the future, MEGVY envisions a society where everyone has social points, similar to a black mirror episode, where actions like spitting gum on the sidewalk can affect one's social standing.

Apple has clarified that the iPhone is not taking pictures every 5 seconds, but rather scanning our faces using infrared technology to optimize face ID and emoji features. A video shared by a follower shows that baby monitors also emit infrared lights. It is clear that this scanning is happening, but the question is whether Apple has other motives behind it. To turn off this feature, go to settings, face ID, and passcode, and toggle the attention aware features. The speaker wonders where the data collected for analysis is being stored and what others think about it.

Speaker 0 recalls yearbook content from 2002-2003, including a center section with art, pop culture, and science. The key point shared is an item titled chipping in, describing Verichip as a microchip containing personal identification information injected under the skin, virtually undetectable, and usable for financial and transportation security, building access, as well as military and government security purposes. The segment also notes RNA has its day and mentions a federal bill banning all forms of human cloning, including efforts used for promising stem cell research. The speaker uses this example to illustrate a view that we have been conditioned for at least twenty years to accept a chip that would enable buying and selling, alongside concerns about human cloning and DNA manipulation. A lighter blurb follows about technology: Instant photo, with a phone camera that can capture up to eight seconds of video, and email images to anyone from just about anywhere, such as showing a photo of the Statue of Liberty to “mom.” The speaker argues this technology is addictive and that people have been programmed for a long time. They point to widespread smartphone addiction and the emergence of payment methods like Apple Pay, suggesting that some places already swipe hands for paying or building access, and predicting it will become large-scale. The speaker asserts that it will reach a point where one “won’t be able to buy or sell without it,” equating this to the mark of the beast.

In China, a social credit score system is already in place, using facial recognition to monitor behavior like jaywalking and deduct money from accounts. This system can identify gender, estimate age, and even recognize car models. Implementation in Western nations could lead to invasive monitoring of personal habits and preferences, impacting individuals' social credit scores. This reality is already present in some places, highlighting the need for awareness and consideration of potential consequences.

Apple has released a digital ID for identification and US passports. Reports say they will be merging their biometric security with encrypted ID storage and plans to replace physical IDs across airports, apps, and businesses. This is said to be used at over 250 TSA checkpoints across domestic airports for identity verification. The speaker mentions one of the richest men on earth, Larry Ellison, who owns TikTok and Oracle and is a big fan of digital IDs. It seems like one big master plan between all the big tech companies. Microsoft dealing with OpenAI, OpenAI dealing with NVIDIA, NVIDIA dealing with Oracle, xAI dealing with NVIDIA, and OpenAI just did a $38,000,000,000 deal with Amazon for cloud storage. So the question is, what are they really planning? Could it be that they're following in the footsteps of China's Skynet, tied to digital IDs, a social credit score, and an AI surveillance system that they actually wanna put on the moon. Skynet. Why does this sound familiar? That's because it's the same name as the killer artificial intelligence in Terminator, Skynet. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, it's always in the movies. Make sure you guys go to my YouTube, Maverick Approach, I do more breakdowns on this, but let me know what you guys think about all this down below.

In China, there are 700 million cameras as part of a mass surveillance program. These cameras use facial recognition and body movements to identify individuals. They are linked to China's social credit system, where not following rules results in losing social credit points. This can lead to consequences like higher mortgage rates, taxes, slower internet, and expensive public transport. So, if you're in China, think twice before breaking any rules because you are being watched and will face consequences.

The speaker discusses a program called VERIFAST, describing it as facial recognition that requires users to scan their face when applying for an apartment or buying a house. They claim you must move your face left and right and have the biometrics uploaded into a database in order to rent or purchase a property. The speaker notes that in Arizona, many apartment complexes are rolling this out, questioning why there is a need to scan faces and suggesting it’s concerning that politicians or people who defend them are not being scanned while ordinary citizens are. The speaker also mentions Discord as discussing this with kids, calling that sickening, and claims Etsy is doing something similar to process payments, requiring a face scan that involves moving the face left and right. They compare the situation to a concept from the “mark of the beast,” expressing concern that voluntary consent without objection could lead to a troubling future. The speaker urges listeners to look up VERIFAST and to resist if someone tries to impose this practice, using a defensive, PG-friendly phrasing. Overall, the main points are: - VERIFAST is described as a facial-recognition system requiring a face scan with left-right movement to access housing-related transactions, with biometrics uploaded to a database. - In Arizona, the technology is allegedly being rolled out by apartment complexes. - The speaker questions why politicians’ faces aren’t scanned and highlights perceived inconsistencies in who is subjected to the system. - Discord is mentioned as discussing this issue with children, and Etsy is claimed to be implementing a similar facial-scan payment verification. - The speaker draws a controversial parallel to the mark of the beast and warns that consent without vocal objection could lead to a troubling future. - listeners are urged to look up VERIFAST and push back if pressured to participate.

I'm at Reagan National Airport and just went through security. TSA has a new system where you insert your driver's license into a scanner, then they require you to use facial recognition. When I tried to opt out and use just my license, they said it's not possible once you start the process. The manager admitted it doesn't make sense but claimed it's a new policy. I argued that I shouldn't be forced into facial recognition after being told to use the scanner. This feels like an attempt to eliminate using just a driver's license. This is big government overreach, setting up a national surveillance system using our faces and airports. I will continue to fight against this.

"Are we just becoming China? Is that the plan here, just mass surveillance on everybody? Because recently, I was just in China, and some of what I saw was pretty good. We're talking about the creation of a biometric surveillance state with predictive algorithms. A new report shines light on contracts with tech company Palantir which would create data profiles of Americans to surveil and harass them. 'Palantir is here to disrupt and make our the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and when it's necessary to scare enemies and on occasion kill them.' 'Except here, the enemy is literally the American people. I tweeted this out the other day saying that it should be very alarming that the same company that's tracking terrorists abroad is now tracking us at home.

In this episode of the a6 Cinzia podcast, Charlie Warzel shares insights from his month-long cashless experiment, which included getting a microchip implanted in his hand in Sweden. He explores the future of money, questioning the current state of mobile payments and the cashless society. Warzel highlights the fragmented marketplace for mobile payments, noting the challenges of using various apps and the limited acceptance of mobile payment methods in everyday transactions. Alex Rampell discusses the motivations behind retailers creating their own payment systems, emphasizing their desire to avoid credit card fees and capture consumer data. He points out that while mobile payment apps are gaining traction, they often fail to address consumer needs effectively. The conversation touches on the importance of user experience and how current payment systems still emulate outdated models. The discussion also addresses the role of banks in the evolving payment landscape, with concerns about their relevance as technology companies dominate. Warzel and Rampell agree that while cashless payments are growing, the infrastructure in the U.S. lags behind countries like Sweden, where real-time banking has facilitated a cashless society. They conclude that significant innovation is needed to improve the consumer experience in payments, with a focus on inclusivity and efficiency.
