Putin supported the proposal to introduce a digital identity card in Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the proposal of the head of the Ministry of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev to introduce a digital identity card on a smartphone in the country instead of a paper passport.

At a meeting with members of the government, Shadayev said that in 80% of all cases in everyday life you can do without a paper passport, replacing it with a smartphone. According to him, the Russians will be able to upload a photo from a biometric passport, after which a QR code is generated, which is presented. The minister asked the head of state to instruct his department to develop an appropriate draft decree by May 1.

“Please, the sooner the better,” Putin replied.

The President stressed that such services are in high demand, so it is necessary to accelerate their implementation.

At the end of August 2022, the Ministry of Digital Development proposed to launch a service at Gosuslugakh, with the help of which Russians can confirm their identity in everyday situations. The department then noted that the service could be used when making purchases in a store, to confirm the right to free travel, when attending events with entry restrictions, and when entering office centers with a pass system. The Ministry of Digital Development stressed that they do not offer such a service to replace a passport or make its use mandatory.

In March 2021, the Ministry of Finance published a draft presidential decree on the electronic passport of a Russian citizen. It was planned to issue electronic passports from 2023 in Moscow, the Moscow region and Tatarstan. It was reported that the electronic document will be presented in two forms - in the form of a smart card and an application with a QR code.

Work on this project was suspended after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, Forbes wrote in June 2022. The project for issuing digital passports to Russians was frozen "for financial reasons," one of the sources said, as well as due to a shortage of materials for electronic media - plastic and chips.

You know the elections are fixed, right?

Just like the SuperBowl, and "Professional Wrestling".

You do recall that DJT was a very well paid actor on a NBC scripted-reality program called The Apprentice, where he portrayed a powerful successful business executive, right?

A very dark experiment is under way in Nigeria, with deadly consequences. Since October 2021, 99.5% of Nigerians have refused to use the central bank's digital currency, the so-called e-Naira, preferring to continue using cash. So what did the central bank do? It doubled down.

In December, the central bank decided to replace all high-denomination cash bills in the economy, just as India did in its disastrous demonetisation campaign of 2016. The goal is to make it much more difficult for Nigerians to use cash. And it's working like a dream/nightmare.

As I've been warning for last two months, Nigeria's already weakened economy is in no position to absorb the resulting economic shock. The central bank is not printing nearly enough cash to replenish the money supply. The result is a massive cash shortage.

As in India, people will die. Businesses are closing. Some will never reopen. Nigerians’ lives have been plunged into chaos. But the country's government and central bank say the pain is worth it.

Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor, has hailed the experiment as a success, as 80% of the cash previously held in private is now deposited with financial institutions. Finance Minister Zainab Ahmed concurred, saying: “The only sore point is the pain it has caused to citizens.”

Why should the rest of the world care? Because unless stopped in its tracks, this monetary experiment is coming to all of us, one way or another. According to the Atlantic Council’s CBDC tracker, 114 countries, representing over 95 percent of global GDP, are exploring a CBDC.

"White Noise"

Race Baiting in the news "Biden ignores poor white Trump voters in Ohio"

"Hyping this trainwreck as the equivalent of Chernobyl + 9/11"

Meets all the criteria for a regularly scheduled False Flag event.

From planes and trains, to autos and Ukraine, it's the same scummy fuckers playing both sides.

"Nobody cries when bad things happen to black people. Only when White People make noise"

It's divisive rhetoric against the imagined "crime" of White Privilege.

White Noise

White Flight

White Rage

How did Carlos Slim become the richest man in the world under Obama?

Building cellular networks in 3rd world countries and giving away pre-paid cell phones.

That EVERYONE has or will have a smartphone (and service via tower or satellite) is all (((they))) need for success.

Those are demons in our pockets.

In the future of global currency exchange, the US will have a blend of these technologies.

CBDCs are column 4

Black Markets will move from operating under Columns 1 & 3 to Column 5.

There were safety sensors that should've detected the "hotbox" but didn't or failed for whatever reason.

Blasts are good for destroying evidence too.
