World Economic Forum Megathread (The Great Reset)

[FatalTater]

More and more I think there might be something to the "50-80% global depopulation by 2025" thing that was predicted a while back.

I just searched Ao3 and Rule34 and there's nothing. I'm actually kind of surprised. One would think that after a couple years of this madness, there would be plenty of Klaus Schwab RPF and world-eating vore pics by now.

Technology is a force multiplier. It takes every unit of labor and makes it more valuable. As a side effect, the system employs fewer and fewer people to run. Eventually, as automation becomes more efficient, it will employ no one. When that happens, the ruling class will try and genocide us to preserve resources for themselves and their children.

It's never gonna happen. How are you going to shoah 90% of people before they murder you?

Well, if I were them, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Wait, I've got it! If I were them, and I was a total sociopath, and I wanted to depopulate the planet so that I didn't have to give welfare in the form of an unconditional basic income to millions of newly useless humans after automating their jobs into nonexistence, I know what I'd do. I'd make people really, really scared of a pandemic virus and then convince them to take a "vaccine" that causes myocarditis, and autoimmune disorders, and amyloidosis, and incurable, fatal prion disease, so that several years later, most of the people who took it drop dead. I'd also put potent long-acting anxiolytics in the vaccine and in the food and water supply so that people don't wig out that their neighbors' corpses are being carted off in body bags. That way, it would have a ticking time bomb effect and would be far more subtle and gradual than a conventional genocide with bloody pogroms and soldiers carting people off to death camps. In fact, most people would confuse the effects of the poison with death from natural causes. In short, it would have all of the effects of a genocide without people even realizing it was one until it was too late for them to do anything about it.

Wait a minute. This all sounds very familiar.

With our population size, stagnation is death. Again, our economy is basically a giant Ponzi scheme that sucks in the labor and taxes of the young and spits out the old, decrepit, and used-up at the other end. Technology is a force multiplier. It takes every unit of labor and makes it more valuable. As a side effect, the system employs fewer and fewer people to run. Eventually, as automation becomes more efficient, it will employ no one. When that happens, the ruling class will try and genocide us to preserve resources for themselves and their children.

You've brought up points like this before, I'm curious why you don't think technological stagnation is possible. Corporate growth policies are at the heart of a lot of awful shit--it's corporate malfeasence to NOT keep growing and increasing profit which can literally give investors a reason to sue a corporation. That's probably a large part of why shit like Disney targetting Star Wars to 40-something cat ladies made sense to corporations, because they needed a new audience to further expand. If those laws were changed (I know, I know, but let's imagine a hypothetical revolution) and restrictions placed on sectors of the economy, it should be completely possible to keep the economy from advancing in technology and only having marginal growth.

Yeah, automation is the villain, but what if we literally made it so mass-automation and replacement by AI algorithms was illegal? I'm obviously assuming the other factors, like nation-states just being arms of NGOs and corporations, being overturned by revolution. I wouldn't call this a zero-growth economy, since the goal wouldn't be necessarily zero-growth (at least not until you colonized all the space within a few light-seconds around Earth) but zero harmful technology (which is almost every new future technology, and many technologies that exist now).

I guess it would be a "low-growth, sustainable economy" to use a bunch of buzzwords. Maybe like Japan since the 90s, but without an equivalent to Tokyo dominating things. It's kind of depressing how many similarities there are in my vision to the WEF's vision and that I'm saying Japan's Lost Decade and other silly shit in Japan like the constant use of fax machines or how flip phones were a thing until the mid-10s is something to idealize, but we really don't have many options, do we?

It's never gonna happen. How are you going to shoah 90% of people before they murder you?

In addition to scamdemics and vaxx bullshit, they can use the usual coercion with media propaganda against breeding, further promotion of troonery (chemically and physically castrating boys and girls), economic incentives to not breed (like each kid increasing your carbon footprint, therefore decreasing the amount you can spend like the WEF thought in 2019 was an awesome idea), and more moving people into cities/pods (that's part of why they don't want remote work, because if you don't live in a city, you're more likely to be financially stable enough to afford kids).

There is such a thing as a sustainable, zero-growth, moderate-tech economy. That's exactly what the WEF and the Club of Rome are trying to bring about. You just have to reduce the global population by at least 90% to get there.

People really have no clue of the logistics that keep billions of people alive on this planet. Human brains do not operate at that scale. It's not just "a lot of stuff". It's a gargantuan amount of materiel.

Every year, around 230 million tons of bunker fuel are sold to be used in container ships. Other figures put it at around 4.5 million barrels per day, which is not much less.

https://shipandbunker.com/news/world/375323-welcome-to-the-229-million-metric-ton-global-bunker-market

The stuff is pitch-black and has the consistency of tar, and actually has to be pre-heated before it can be used in the gigantic engines that modern container ships have.



A metric ton of bunker fuel actually occupies very close to one cubic meter (about 996 kg/m3, to be exact). 229 million cubic meters is very nearly a couple billion US barrels. If you made a cube with this volume, the edge length would be 612 meters.



In 2021, the US exported 57 million tons of soybeans, corn, and grain sorghum to China. It did not magically teleport there.

The COVID-19 lockdowns actually pushed 20 million additional people towards starvation, on top of the 135 million who were already close to starvation the year prior.

Shipping companies make their profits moving shiny tech baubles. If they can't make their money moving shiny tech baubles, then they go under. If they go under, then guess what? There go the agricultural exports, too.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/26/shipping-carriers-rejected-us-agricultural-exports-sent-empty-containers-to-china.html

Shipping carriers rejected U.S. agricultural export containers worth hundreds of millions of dollars during October and November, instead sending empty containers to China to be filled with more profitable Chinese exports, a CNBC investigation found.

The Federal Maritime Commission has received petitions from U.S. agricultural exporters warning that the delays in trade not only threaten profits but the reputation of the industry.

The commission, in turn, launched an investigation and is reviewing the trade data out of key ports in California, New York and New Jersey to see whether the carriers’ refusal to load U.S. export cargo was a violation of the Shipping Act.

Growth since 1970? “Simultaneously dazzling and disappointing.” Think the PC and the Internet are important? Compare them with the dramatic decline in infant mortality, or the effect that indoor plumbing had on living conditions. And the explosion of inventions and resulting economic progress that happened during the special century are unlikely to be seen again, Gordon argues in a new book, The Rise and Fall of American Growth. Life at the beginning of the 100-year period was characterized by “household drudgery, darkness, isolation, and early death,” he writes. By 1970, American lives had totally changed. “The economic revolution of 1870 to 1970 was unique in human history, unrepeatable because so many of its achievements could happen only once,” he writes.
The book attempts to directly refute the views of those Gordon calls “techno optimists,” who think we’re in the midst of great digital innovations that will redefine our economy and sharply improve the way we live. Nonsense, he says. Just look at the economic data; there is no evidence that such a transformation is occurring.

For most Americans, wages are just not keeping up. Incomes actually shrank between 1972 and 2013. And it’s not going to get any better, predicts Robert Gordon.

Indeed, productivity growth, which allows companies and nations to expand and prosper—and, at least potentially, allows workers to earn more money—has been dismal for more than a decade. Although it might seem as though a lot of innovation is going on, “the [productivity] slowdown is real,” John Fernald, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, told me. In a recent paper, Fernald and his colleagues traced the sluggishness back to around 2004 and found that the last five years saw close to the slowest productivity growth ever measured in the United States (the data go back to the late 1800s). And Fernald says technology and innovation are “a big part of the story.” Some techno optimists have argued that the full benefits of apps, cloud computing, and social media are not showing up in the economic measurements. But even if that’s true, their overall effect is not all that significant. Fernald found that any growth spurred by such digital advances has been inadequate to overcome the lack of broader technological progress.

People don't get it. We're locked-in. We're on the fucking Snowpiercer, and there are no brakes on the rape train. There are only two ways this can go. Either more growth to support the huge (and growing) population, or degrowth and depopulation. You can't have degrowth or zero-growth without inevitable depopulation. If you're against depopulation, then the only answer is growth, growth, and more growth, and more and better technology (like AI) to support that growth. There is no "lol let's just get off the train ride here and stop the growth and everyone will be fine". That would kill billions of people.

So, yes, technological stagnation is possible, provided you're willing to kill a whole lot of people in the process. If the technological growth stops, then the Ponzi scheme runs out of money. If it runs out of money, then the container ships stop moving. If the container ships stop moving, then billions starve.

Hopefully AI doesn't replace living artists.

AI-generated art, at least for now, always has this creepy or freakish tint to it.

Hopefully that doesn't happen. I'm tired of evil screwing this world over.

Slide 11: "Since the graphene with which
the CNTs are formed is a
superconductor, it serves as an
artificial axon."
Like, what? CNTs are highly varied, and not even necessarily "made of graphene", they're considered their own allotrope. The author has no clue. Also, graphene isn't a superconductor, it isn't even a metal per se. And the electrical properties of CNTs are highly dependent on chirality and so on, ranging from semiconducting to conducting. The author is just writing some badly researched "science" fiction there.
Graphene quantum dots? Yeah, I worked on those, and his babbling about that shit gives me more of an aneurysm than the Coof vaccine.
But we've talked about graphene and its properties and applications before, and there's nothing I can say that will convince you of the physics behind this, so whatever.

I think the whole "Great Reset" is gonna be a pretty moot thing sometime soon. Maybe someone planned on the immenent collapse of (western) civilisation to implement a "Great Reset" regime, but I think the collapse is going to be too big, and the people too unruly for it to be implemented on a larger scale.
The elites don't know technology, and their sycophants lie to them. They don't know what's coming, and how hard the fall is going to be. Maybe they thought they could come in after a few riots and mop up everything, but I think they underestimate the coming dark age and overestimate the control they can have.

The internet of things has been less than dazzling, between the shitty software and nonexistent security.I will keep my dumb house and dumb body as long as I possibly can.

This does mean I have to keep heroically dragging myself to the thermostat and light switches, and using my own thumbs to uselessly type into search engines. Even without nudges from some app.

I miss being able to be normal and just be a part of society but the life these clowns keep trying to sell is a horror. Who would want any of this?

That being said, the scale of the collapse they are trying to engineer- history does not show radical technological progress after societal collapse.

Look at how the Russian war has gone, WEF thralls assumed their awesome media, technology and financial control would be substitute “shock and awe” for direct military involvement. But all it’s doing is throwing the west into artificial energy poverty while the other nations learn to harden as they develop workarounds for all of it. It turns out bullying individuals out of their jobs, social media and bank accounts may not scale to countries.

It can be funny when technophiles claim AI will be a wondrous "god" that'll bring about a shining "utopian" future with "mind-uploaded" simulation - as space is somehow turned into a giant computer with "computronium" - and that AI will totally be "the last and greatest invention ever" when "The Singularity" happens. AI-made art always has this freakish or creepy vibe to it, AI-made articles are word salads (from what I recall), and search algorithms are "exceptional" and can make it hard to find stuff.

If AI took over the world and somehow replaced all work, what could really happen is a cyberpunk dystopia that runs like Windows ME.

Without too much PL I spent years automating white collar work, and generally we haven’t eliminated anyone but a few low level clerks. We get more work out of the skilled labor, so some savings there, but I accidentally backed myself into being indispensable administering the “automated” system.

Anyone getting down in the weeds on this realizes: the autists trying to automate everything don’t understand why things are the way they are. And often when there’s a conflict between “the plan” and the way it works on the ground, there’s a top-down solution that is programmable but doesn’t solve the problem.

Reminds me of "The Singularity" being called "The Rapture For Nerds" - looks like belief in AI making a "utopia" can be a new cult.

LOOOONG autistic spergout:

This is exactly what I have been thinking will come to pass.
The WEF will try their damnedest to create the perfect chaotic mess which they will immediately come swooping in and offering food, shelter and protection at the small, wee, minuscule cost of not only your possessions but your free will. Instead they will create a lawless, backwards society that will thrive on violence and brute strength.
Think the world of The Walking Dead, minus the zombies.
I think people are very, very slowly realizing the leaders they gambled everything on don't give a single fuck about them, with Biden snubbing everyone who comes begging for his help, the UK sheltering Muslim rapists instead of assisting their citizens, Trudeau outright showing his hand and telling people he'll trample them if they don't obey him. Its a perfect storm that the WEF will not survive. The elites will run to their islands with their private security, but, with money no longer worth anything, and with all the vices money used to provide us being a thing of the past, their security will either strand them alone on their island or murder them. Same goes for the rich in their bunkers. Money means nothing to the savages outside, so why the fuck would the troops/guards still be on their side? Speaking of the military, most, if not all, will run to save their families, and those few that remained in their bases will become the most well trained and dangerous raiders in the new hellhole called earth.
I know, this whole fucking post reads like a doomer journal, but we aren't going to avoid the collapse.
At the very least, we can have comfort knowing Schwab, Trudeau, Merkel, and the rest of the fucking monsters who destroyed our lives will die at the hands of the very savages they intended to enslave.

No, I actually agree with you. There are some things in that particular file that are obvious nonsense.

Then again, they have demonstrated superconductivity in stacked and twisted graphene sheets:

https://news.mit.edu/2021/physicists-create-tunable-superconductivity-twisted-graphene-nanosandwich-0201

That effect is unlikely to be in play, here, though.

Time for some hardcore weaponized autism. I've unearthed numerous credible articles on the topic that do seem to point to the possibility of such tech. Bionanotechnology is a very small field, in terms of actual experts publishing papers. The guys involved in that are not just PhD nanotech, but also PhD molecular biologists, so they're mostly the really gifted multiple-degree-holders. I think there may be synergistic effects at work here when you combine conductive nanomaterials with living tissue that aren't quite so obvious on the surface from either the perspective of nanotech or molecular biology in isolation.

It appears they've already done the path loss calculations to determine the propagation of THz waves in human tissue, and determined how many relays they'd need:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11277-021-08171-2

In this work, the author has evaluated the propagation of electromagnetic waves inside the human tissue such as blood, skin and fat for single-path and multi-path layers according to nano sensor transmit power calculations. In particular, the propagation characteristics of the Intra-Body Nano-Network communication channel are calculated using a theoretical approach. The analysis in this paper provides an evaluation related to the path loss, bit error rate, signal to noise ratio and the channel capacity. The model is evaluated for each single-path effect and multi-path effect. The effects of human tissue for each blood, skin and fat for single-path effect and multi-path are included in the analysis. The model frequency range is chosen from 0.01 to 1.5 THz frequencies, which are ideal for designing nano sensors antennae and using THz range for communication. This paper will also guide other researchers who are working on the electromagnetic radiation performance of Intra-Body Nano-Network and Nano sensors designed at the THz range.

This is a preprint, but it's fascinating:

https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1810/1810.00186.pdf

In spite of effective solutions being offered by data processing, the multimedia nano-things though have to send a considerable amount of data in a reliable fashion just in its proper time. Luckily, graphene-based nanotransceivers and nano- antennas are expected to implicitly operate within the terahertz frequency band (0.1–10 THz). The advantage of operating in terahertz band is that it supports a very high bit rate information transmission, can be as many as terabits per second (Tbps). With the rise of these points of strength, yet it is considered one of the least explored and investigated frequency range among the full EM spectrum. The already existing channel models and prototypes is being designed to accommodate for lower frequency ranges and thus, not applicable to be used for terahertz band. This issue actually emerged since the available channels are unable to perceive a number of effects such as attenuation and noise introduced by molecular absorption, the scattering from particles which are comparable in size to the short wavelength of terahertz waves, or the scintillation of terahertz radiation.

Intra-body communication networks are designed to interconnect nano- or micro-sized sensors located inside the body for health monitoring and drug delivery. The most promising solutions are made of implanted nanosensors to timely monitor the body for the presence of specific diseases and pronounce a diagnosis without the intervention of a physician. In this manner, several deadly health conditions such as heart attacks are avoided through the early in vivo detection of their biomarkers. In reality, nanosensors are challenged by the individual specificities, molecular noise, limited durability, and low energy resources. In this paper, a framework is proposed for estimating and detecting diseases and localizing the nanosensors. This framework is based on molecular communication, a novel communication paradigm where information is conveyed through molecules. Through the case study of the shedding of endothelial cells as an early biomarker for heart attack, the intra-body molecular communication networks framework is shown to resolve major issues with in vivo nanosensors and lay the foundations of low-complexity biomedical signal processing algorithms for continuous disease monitoring and diagnosis.

Intra-body communication (IBC) is a technology using the human body as a transmission medium for electrical signals. Compared with the short distance wireless communication technologies, it has several novel characteristics. The modeling, simulation and implement of intra-body communication are reviewed. Firstly, the transfer function of the galvanic coupling IBC was deduced, and the in vivo measurements results and the corresponding mathematical simulations results based on the proposed transfer function are discussed. Secondly, a finite-element method for modeling the whole human body is introduced, and simulations results of the galvanic coupling IBC based on the whole human body and the corresponding in vivo measurement results are discussed. Finally, the implement methods of the intra-body communication as well as a novel IBC system based on Mach–Zehnder EO modulator are introduced and analyzed, while some conclusions are achieved.

Enabling wireless communication between intrabody nanosensors and wearable devices can transform the field of nanobiosensing and, ultimately, lead to revolutionary healthcare systems. Recently, it has been demonstrated that such communication can occur at Terahertz (THz) band frequencies (0.1–10 THz). For the time being, existing studies are focused on characterizing the propagation of THz waves in a uniform medium. However, in a practical system, the THz waves will traverse different body tissues as they go in/out of the body. In this paper, the propagation of THz waves across human tissues is analytically modeled and numerically analyzed. More specifically, an impedance model that accounts for the discrepancies and the thicknesses of the human tissue layers is developed to allow us to predict the loss encountered as the wave propagates through the human body at THz band frequencies. The results show the necessity of accounting for the lost power due to multi-layer reflection in order to formulate a complete intrabody communication model. At the same time, the viability of utilizing the THz band for developing a feasible intrabody communication link is demonstrated.

This Article introduces the ongoing progression of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the Internet of Bodies (IoB)—a network of human bodies whose integrity and functionality rely at least in part on the Internet and related technologies, such as artificial intelligence. IoB devices will evidence the same categories of legacy security flaws that have plagued IoT devices. However, unlike most IoT, IoB technologies will directly, physically harm human bodies—a set of harms courts, legislators, and regulators will deem worthy of legal redress. As such, IoB will herald the arrival of (some forms of) corporate software liability and a new legal and policy battle over the integrity of the human body and mind. Framing this integrity battle in light of current regulatory approaches, this Article offers a set of specific innovation-sensitive proposals to bolster corporate conduct safeguards through regulatory agency action, contract, tort, intellectual property, and secured transactions and bankruptcy.

Yet, the challenges of IoB are not purely legal in nature. The social integration of IoB will also not be seamless. As bits and bodies meld and as human flesh becomes permanently entwined with hardware, software, and algorithms, IoB will test our norms and values as a society. In particular, it will challenge notions of human autonomy and self-governance. Legal scholars have traditionally considered Kantian autonomy as the paradigmatic lens for legal determinations impacting the human body. However, IoB threatens to undermine a fundamental precondition of Kantian autonomy—Kantian heautonomy. Damaged heautonomy renders both Kantian autonomy and deliberative democracy potentially compromised. As such, this Article argues that safeguarding heautonomy should constitute the animating legal principle for governance of IoB bodies. The Article concludes by introducing the companion essay to this Article, The Internet of Latour’s Things. This companion essay inspired by the work of Bruno Latour offers a sliding scale of “technohumanity” as a framework for the legal and policy discussion of what it means to be “human” in an age where bodies are the “things” connected to the Internet.

https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/rice-university-charges-into-the-future-with-magnetics-and-bioimplants/

MOANA, or magnetic, optical, and acoustic neural access, is the second Rice University program funded by N3. Fundamentally, it uses light to decode impulses from one users’ brain and magnetics to encode that information to the second party.



According to the researchers, this process is non-invasive (in line with N3). Still, it requires reprogramming a small section of the brain to produce synthetic proteins called ‘calcium-dependent indicators,' which absorb light.

This project utilized technology that has to do with red and infrared wavelengths. The system will consist of light detectors and emitters, which are arranged around specific areas on a skull cap. The light will then be reflected off of the wearer's head; however, some will make it into the brain.

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201215005738/en/Battelle-Neuro-Team-Advances-to-Phase-II-of-DARPA-N3-Program

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A Battelle team of researchers has received funding to continue work on the second of a three-phase Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program called Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3).

The program is designed for teams around the country to develop a high-performance, bi-directional brain-computer interface (BCI) for noninvasive clinical applications or for use by able-bodied members of the military. Such neural interfaces would provide the enabling technology for diverse medical and national security applications and could enable enhanced multitasking during complex military missions.

Battelle and its project partners from Cellular Nanomed Inc., the University of Miami, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Air Force Research Laboratory are working on an interface called BrainSTORMS (Brain System to Transmit Or Receive Magnetoelectric Signals). It employs magnetoelectric nanotransducers (MEnTs) localized in neural tissue for BCI applications. One of the key MEnT attributes are their incredibly small size—thousands of MEnTs can fit across the width of a human hair. The MEnTs are first injected into the circulatory system and then guided with a magnet to the targeted area of the brain. “Our current data suggests that we can non-surgically introduce MEnTs into the brain for subsequent bi-directional neural interfacing,” said Patrick Ganzer, a Battelle researcher and the principal investigator on the project.

As Internet of Things (IoT) approaches technological maturity with growing number of applications on the market, new integrative ideas emerge to push the current boundaries of IoT and extend its application range. One such approach follows a holistic view and regards the universe as an interconnected entity which is to be observed, understood, and manipulated with new information and communication technologies (ICT). At the center of this approach lies an emerging ICT framework, the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT), envisioning the heterogeneous collaborative networks of natural and artificial nano-biological functional devices (e.g., engineered bacteria, human cells, nanobiosensors), seamlessly integrated to the Internet infrastructure. IoBNT is positioned to extend our connectivity and control over non-conventional domains (e.g., human body) with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution, enabling paradigm-shifting applications, particularly in the healthcare domain, such as intrabody continuous health monitoring and theranostic systems with single molecular precision.

Here are a couple papers from Charles Lieber:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1323818111

Implementation of complex computer circuits assembled from the bottom up and integrated on the nanometer scale has long been a goal of electronics research. It requires a design and fabrication strategy that can address individual nanometer-scale electronic devices, while enabling large-scale assembly of those devices into highly organized, integrated computational circuits. We describe how such a strategy has led to the design, construction, and demonstration of a nanoelectronic finite-state machine. The system was fabricated using a design-oriented approach enabled by a deterministic, bottom–up assembly process that does not require individual nanowire registration. This methodology allowed construction of the nanoelectronic finite-state machine through modular design using a multitile architecture. Each tile/module consists of two interconnected crossbar nanowire arrays, with each cross-point consisting of a programmable nanowire transistor node. The nanoelectronic finite-state machine integrates 180 programmable nanowire transistor nodes in three tiles or six total crossbar arrays, and incorporates both sequential and arithmetic logic, with extensive intertile and intratile communication that exhibits rigorous input/output matching. Our system realizes the complete 2-bit logic flow and clocked control over state registration that are required for a finite-state machine or computer. The programmable multitile circuit was also reprogrammed to a functionally distinct 2-bit full adder with 32-set matched and complete logic output. These steps forward and the ability of our unique design-oriented deterministic methodology to yield more extensive multitile systems suggest that proposed general-purpose nanocomputers can be realized in the near future.

A central challenge in the field of electrophysiology is to achieve intracellular recording of the complex networks of electrogenic cells in tissues. The historical gold-standard of intracellular recording - patchclamp electrodes - do have limitations in terms of their invasiveness and difficulty to use in large-scale parallel recording. Recent advances in nanowire-based bioelectronics have demonstrated minimally-invasive intracellular interfaces and highly-scalable parallel recording at the network level. Combined with in vivo recording platforms, these advances can enable investigations of dynamics in the brain and drive the development of new brain-machine interfaces with unprecedented resolution and precision.

Here are a couple papers from Ehud Gazit suggesting that amyloid can be used as an organic semiconductor material, or to emplace N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide-doped cadmium selenide quantum dots (very freaky):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6364806/

In a further example, the formation of fibrils (so-called protein nanofibres) by the extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion protein fibronectin was observed after incubation at 37 °C in water/ethanol mixtures.94 The fibrils were used as scaffolds to deposit N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NHS)-modified CdSe–ZnS core–shell quantum dots (QDs), which had potential applications as biophotonic nanohybrid materials. Fibrinogen also forms fibrils by incubation at pH 2, and these were used as templates for biomineralization.95

Self-assembling peptide semiconductors

Semiconductors are central to the modern electronics and optics industries. Conventional semiconductive materials bear inherent limitations, especially in emerging fields such as interfacing with biological systems and bottom-up fabrication. A promising ...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Bioinspired supramolecular chemistry can allow for a better interface between the semiconductive and biological worlds. In particular, simple peptide building blocks with the intrinsic ability to self-assemble into ordered nanostructures emerge as promising candidates (Fig. 1) (8, 9). The ample constituents, various morphologies, precise molecular structures, and biomolecular recognition endow the peptide self-assemblies with diversified physicochemical features. Integration with external semiconductive subunits, such as perylene imide moieties (10–14), can yield self-assembled products with tunable morphologies and enhanced semiconductivity. In addition, with the intrinsic advantages of ease of preparation and flexibility of structure-function modulation, these bioinspired materials can be used in biotechnological and medical fields.

Apparently, the tissues themselves, typically thought of as opaque to high-frequency microwaves and T-waves, can actually be used as waveguides for signals if the transmitters are located inside the body:

https://www.sintec-project.eu/what-is-intrabody-communication/

IBC has many advantages over traditional RF approaches. Because the communication mechanism is based on near-field coupling, transmission is not interfered by electromagnetic waves in free space and signal cannot be intercepted easily, while the signal is confined to the human body. Because the body channel has lower attenuation than the air channel, the power consumption is lower than other wireless technologies, such a Bluetooth and Zigbee. Intra-body communication has a wide application prospect in personal Health Care, assistant system for the disabled, and body area networks (BAN) system. IBC realizes a short-range “wireless” communication method with less electromagnetic interference and less susceptible to external interference in comparison with existing electromagnetic wave based communication technique. IBC promises to improve the Health Care systems. It is also expected that IBC can eventually help to reduce the size of the sensors on human body, less power consumption, as well as improve stability of overall Health Care system.

IBC may also contribute to endless opportunities in the field of healthcare services by connecting various on/in-body devices to form the BAN of personal health information. For instance, patients with diabetes could use an automatic insulin pump which autonomously measures glucose levels and administers insulin upon high levels of glucose. A sensor, which may be developed in the future, may reduce the occurrences of heart attack or stroke, decreasing the burden from hospitals by avoiding frequent patient visits.

https://www.sintec-project.eu/using-fat-tissue-for-intra-body-communication-the-fat-ibc-channel/

The Fat-IBC is a novel concept of communication through the fat of the body. The fat layer situated between the skin and muscle layers that act as a waveguide and allows high bandwidth and low-loss
energy-efficient communication. It has been demonstrated in Uppsala University that the Fat-IBC is resilient, provides data confinement in the body and can support very high data rates at very low power.
Fat-IBC meets all the requirements of the four laws of Internet of Things:

• law of physics (more sensor nodes)
• law of economics (pay less for bandwidth)
• law of latency (time critical applications)
• law of land (protection of privacy)

The inherent fat channel in human body provides an excellent low-loss communication medium for implantable and wearable sensor networks. One major advantage of this approach is that it can support high data rates. Fat-IBC uses low-power microwaves with 1000 times lower need of power than cell phones and hence is SAR (specific absorption rate)-compliant. This allows for supporting multiple sensors and can serve in data-intensive applications such as electronic arms and brain-to-machine interfaces. The Fat-IBC approach is unique, fully developed at Uppsala University and prime importance has been given for network security to ensure safety of the user. Fat-IBC would benefit much from the use of stretchable electronics and holds promises of small-sized and energy-efficient devices with secure communication at increased data rate.

Another rather freaky possibility is the usage of "electrogenetics" to manipulate gene expression in an organism remotely.

It's only a matter of time before they design completely programmable cells that don't even need nuclear DNA. Instead, they'll have a nanostructure inside their nucleus that responds to transcription factors binding to it and then electronically assembles any arbitrary mRNA sequence as needed, using remotely-received signals as a template. This would also defeat aging, by the way. Aging happens because mutations in the DNA of somatic cells lead to impaired protein synthesis. No nuclear DNA = nothing to mutate, in theory.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367593122000369

Electrogenetics, the combination of electronics and genetics, is an emerging field of mammalian synthetic biology in which electrostimulation is used to remotely program user-designed genetic elements within designer cells to generate desired outputs. Here, we describe recent advances in electro-induced therapeutic gene expression and therapeutic protein secretion in engineered mammalian cells. We also review available tools and strategies to engineer electro-sensitive therapeutic designer cells that are able to sense electrical pulses and produce appropriate clinically relevant outputs in response. We highlight current limitations facing mammalian electrogenetics and suggest potential future directions for research.

This presentation here certainly fits the bill of Julian Assange's claim of "intelligent, evil dust in everything":

https://futurecomresearch.eu/previous/2017/site_pres/K/IAN_Akyildiz.pdf

Granted, all of these things are spread out in different papers, PowerPoints, and press releases describing reasonably cutting-edge research. They are not proof that anyone has engineered anything based on these papers. However, they show that the concept exists and is a topic of ongoing and persistent research, and suggest how it could be engineered, if someone really wanted to do it.

That, coupled with many of the statements made by WEF goons, makes all of this rather suspicious.

If people want to know more about this topic, they need to be doing searches using keywords like WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks), Intra-body Nano-networks, IoB (Internet of Bodies), IoBNT (Internet of Bio-Nano Things), optogenetics, chemogenetics, electrogenetics, DREADDs/RASSLs (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs/Receptor Activated Solely by a Synthetic Ligand), synthetic biology, bionanotechnology, brain-computer interfaces, DARPA N3 (Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology), et cetera. There are a lot of overlapping, confusing, and superfluous terms in use; scientists have not quite agreed on what they want to call these things.

All I know for certain is that they seem hell-bent on bringing about a cyberpunk/biopunk bullshit future over the course of the next couple decades.

The links between Peter Daszak, Nathan Wolfe, the CIA, and DARPA are very suspicious, as is the fact that Charles Lieber and Robert Langer were close colleagues. It seems that the goal, all along, was to use a pandemic virus to create some justification for people to be injected yearly or bi-yearly with "medical countermeasures", which could eventually contain anything.

Developing MCMs for Coronaviruses - Rapid Medical Countermeasure Response to Infectious Diseases - NCBI Bookshelf

Daszak also shared that during the recent Ebola outbreak, EcoHealth Alliance issued a press release and an analysis predicting which countries would be the first to be infected as a result of global air travel.2 The United States was predicted to be one of the top three countries that would receive infected individuals from countries with EVD, and it was predicted the patient would arrive into Dulles, Boston Logan, Newark, and/or JFK airport. They anticipated a lot of attention and coverage, but instead, again, there was very minimal pickup by the media. Daszak reiterated that, until an infectious disease crisis is very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, he said, we need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media, and the economics follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of process, Daszak stated.

https://uncoverdc.com/2022/02/09/ecohealth-alliance-whistleblower-exposes-corruption/

In late October 2021, Huff says he “came forward as a material witness and whistleblower related to numerous unethical and criminal behaviors that took place at EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance engaged in fraud against the U.S. government (Timecard Fraud and contract reimbursement fraud).” Huff “brought them to the attention of Peter Daszak, Dr. Aleksei Chamura, and CFO Harvey Kasdan. After raising these issues at the meeting, Harvey Kasdan went home from work, had a heart attack, and died.”

Huff’s letter states that Daszak disclosed to him in late 2015 and early 2016 that he was working with the CIA. In fact, at the end of his letter, he posits “that Dr. Peter Daszak could be a double agent working on behalf of the Chinese government based on his observations of his behavior and the nature of statements related to working with the Chinese (did not see risks, concerns, or other obvious problems) related to conducting gain of function work or other high-risk laboratory work in China.”

A Hub medical-miracle team is working on a breakthrough that may someday lead to a “smart heart” — implant-ready artificial tissue rigged with super-sensitive triggers that could sound an alarm when a patient’s ticker is off-kilter, and possibly even fix the faux organ without so much as a call to the doctor.

The Boston-based brain trust announced its pioneering project this week in the science journal Nature Materials, and they said the tissue’s self-correcting capability has dazzling possibilities.

“At this point, if you have arrhythmia, you would go to the hospital to have it corrected. You might even get a pacemaker,” said Daniel Kohane of Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital, a member of the crew. The new technology would make it “as if the pacemaker was right in there, embedded along with the nanosensors,” he said.

https://diplomatmagazine.eu/2020/06/07/and-the-wind-cries-jeffrey-biohacking-humans-with-dna-nanotechnology-iot-and-5g/

To sum it all up, there is a serious possibility that we may be dealing with a ramified network of business opportunists, tunnel-vision scientists, IT nerds, Beltway bandits, greedy financiers, corporate drones, media yes men, debauched sexual predators, human traffickers, ransomists, hijackers and a wide range of ordinary people or useful idiots, all puppeteered by a hidden transhumanist cabal who know very well what the end game is. This could indeed be a private network hacking nation states and, more importantly, biohacking humanity’s genetic code and maybe, just maybe, they use not only nanotechnology, but also Jeffrey’s (and God knows who else’s) DNA. I think that to dismiss this hypothesis flat out could be very, VERY naive.

Do I think that these people are all conspiring to depopulate the world sitting in darkened rooms around walnut tables? As Dean W. Arnold wrote here:

“I doubt it. (Well, Bill maybe.) Somebody is probably doing that, but my guess is that Bill and Melinda are admirable proponents of an ideology that believes they are helping the world. And when they run into facts that challenge their ideology, they do what many of us do at times. They block it out.

It appears that Jeffrey Epstein may have been directly involved in funding Charles Lieber's work, but this is unconfirmed:

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/2/13/doe-investigation-foreign-governments/

Since June 28, 2019, the Department of Education has opened eight civil compliance investigations into other universities, including the Massachusets Institute of Technology and the University of Maryland.

Last fall, Harvard administrators announced the University had created two new oversight committees to prevent University researchers from taking such actions, which are known colloquially as “academic espionage.”

The letter said that the Department of Education “is aware of information suggesting Harvard University lacks appropriate institutional controls” on donations, and directly referenced Charles M. Lieber and Jeffrey Epstein.

There's a network here of transhumanist treachery that basically includes Jeffrey Epstein at the epicenter. A lot of people do not realize that he was a Kurzweilian-style transhumanist, was very interested in life-extension, and used to hang out with geneticists, technologists, philosophers, etc.

https://slate.com/technology/2019/08/jeffrey-epstein-science-eugenics-sexual-abuse-researchers.html

No one seems to know that much about Epstein’s occupation, but there’s little doubt about the ways he liked to spend his time. “I only have two interests,” he once told a longtime friend and former academic. “Science and pussy.”

It seems those interests overlapped. As the New York Times reported on Wednesday, Epstein’s “passion for cutting-edge science” at times verged into eugenics. Multiple sources told the Times that Epstein had described a plan to inseminate women at his ranch outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. According to a shakier, secondhand account, also relayed to the Times, Epstein said he wanted to use his ranch to impregnate 20 women at a time, as a means of strengthening the gene pool.

The Times also says that Epstein had an interest in cryogenics and that he told one “adherent of transhumanism” that upon his death he’d like to have both his head and penis put on ice. This can’t have been an earnest scheme (though the Times implies it was); it would make no sense for anyone to reanimate a disembodied penis. Still, Epstein’s “joke” plays off the nature and extent of his dual obsessions.

A guy who wanted Alcor to freeze his head and penis is not someone who would commit suicide at the drop of a hat. That's thanatophobia, a.k.a. todesangst, a.k.a. death anxiety. I'm basically 100% certain he was either murdered or otherwise faked his own death and is now living on a different private island with a new face thanks to plastic surgery. Suicide? No, absolutely not.

It looks like Jeffrey Epstein was basically a bagman for this sort of thing, probably funneling Rothschild/Bronfman funds towards the field of human enhancement. Let's just say that he wasn't the only rich old fuck afraid of death on this planet.

Where does this involve the WEF? Well, that's quite simple, really. Klaus Schwab is a Henry Kissinger acolyte and an obvious pawn of the Committee of 300.

There's a reason why this shit is happening everywhere at once. It's the Illuminati. They're acting out in the open, with very little of the discretion they used in prior years.

I think the whole "Great Reset" is gonna be a pretty moot thing sometime soon. Maybe someone planned on the immenent collapse of (western) civilisation to implement a "Great Reset" regime, but I think the collapse is going to be too big, and the people too unruly for it to be implemented on a larger scale.
The elites don't know technology, and their sycophants lie to them. They don't know what's coming, and how hard the fall is going to be. Maybe they thought they could come in after a few riots and mop up everything, but I think they underestimate the coming dark age and overestimate the control they can have.

I agree on this, too. They don't comprehend the intrinsic engineering challenges involved in their IoB mass surveillance "paradise".

That makes their agenda more dangerous, not less, since it means they will try and forge ahead with unproven technology with a greater risk of side effects.

It can be funny when technophiles claim AI will be a wondrous "god" that'll bring about a shining "utopian" future with "mind-uploaded" simulation - as space is somehow turned into a giant computer with "computronium" - and that AI will totally be "the last and greatest invention ever" when "The Singularity" happens. AI-made art always has this freakish or creepy vibe to it, AI-made articles are word salads (from what I recall), and search algorithms are "exceptional" and can make it hard to find stuff.

If AI took over the world and somehow replaced all work, what could really happen is a cyberpunk dystopia that runs like Windows ME.

Automation is getting better every day. AI has advanced rapidly in the past couple years, almost at an unprecedented rate.

DALL-E is way better than DeepMind's floating dog faces and "puffer fish". It can actually imitate the styles of long-dead painters with alarming precision. We don't need an "AGI" to surpass people. Only a collection of different, specialized AIs that each take over one single task that used to be performed by people.

If you wanted to control people's minds with a wireless, global smart grid that sucked in their brain data, looked for signs of dissenting views/behavior, and then steered them back towards submitting to the technocratic NWO agenda by precisely pumping stimuli into their brain cells, you'd need AI and massive data centers to run it all.

If the Overclass have their way, there will be no such thing as Minority Report-style precrime. They will automatically snip wrongthink out of people's heads before it even manifests itself in reality.

I find it the transhumanism to be so horrifying. What happened to these people to hate life so much?

I don’t wish for death, but I am satisfied that when my time comes that I have lived a good life and I am happy to have seen the wonders of existence.

These people are entranced with the Chinese social credit system, and how it’s used to torture the Uighurs in Xinxiang while leaving their Han neighbors at normal levels of oppression.

The Chinese system uses AI to predict dissent. If the AI says you are a problem, your money stops working and you are arrested. There’s nothing and no way to appeal, even the police don’t know exactly what the AI sees.

All of this nano shit is worse. Imagine all the ways this could go wrong. Like the vaccine, you inhale the dustbots and they go to the wrong part of your body and cause a stroke or cancer. Just environmental nanobot dust means uncontrolled dosage. There will be pre-existing conditions like maybe epilepsy or, god help us, autism, that could react badly to this stuff. Imagine if it just induced schizophrenia if you have an unlucky brain configuration.

No one ever explains what problem this is solving, or why the above is an acceptable trade off. What they want to do is terrible enough if it succeeds. I don’t think they are competent enough to execute this at all, and will just cause much death and misery.

May it live forever in vaporware and PowerPoint stacks, and nothing else.

@Drain Todger Graphene has so many properties and potential properties based on so many different factors that it's practically impossible to create reliably. Twisted graphene sheets, for example. That shit's really hard to actually make. Not gonna power level too much about what I did in my MSc. thesis, but it also involved graphene and superlattice effects. It's really hard to pull off reliably. Self-organization is basically out of the question with this sort of stuff.
Not to mention that shit like super conduction, even in graphene, requires super low temperatures. Yes, graphene can potentially exhibit quantum effects like the Quantum Hall Effect at room temperatures, but it requires super pure samples and is still noisy af. Quantum effects, by nature only really work at low temperatures, and until they manage to replace your blood with liquid helium we're not gonna see the implementation of any of this.
Thing is, all these Internet of Body things are interesting concepts, but it's dreaming about a Bugatti Chiron when you only just had Cugnot's steam wagon.
Technology is waaaaaaay off.
And the way thing's are going, we're not gonna get to that technology any time soon.
The question with the WEF is, are they just a symptom of the collapse, a group of dumb opportunists who want to take advantage and maybe accelerate what's already happening, or were they involved with putting it all in motion?
The WEF was founded in the wake of the '68 generation and superficially the Great Reset involves a lot of hippie pipe dreams. But it's quite impossible to gauge the influence they had over the years...

These WEF guys are super-duper optimistic about the state of the technology. They keep expecting working, practical, safe brain-machine interfaces and the like to appear within their lifetimes.

This is a WEF video from five years ago:

Klaus Schwab has, for his part, openly described the use of such technology to determine if people pose a security risk:

https://winteroak.org.uk/2020/10/05/klaus-schwab-and-his-great-fascist-reset/amp/

But this does not stop him presenting them in a positive light, as when he declares that “public crime is likely to decrease due to the convergence of sensors, cameras, AI and facial recognition software”. (27)

He describes with some relish how these technologies “can intrude into the hitherto private space of our minds, reading our thoughts and influencing our behavior”. (2

Schwab predicts: “As capabilities in this area improve, the temptation for law enforcement agencies and courts to use techniques to determine the likelihood of criminal activity, assess guilt or even possibly retrieve memories directly from people’s brains will increase. Even crossing a national border might one day involve a detailed brain scan to assess an individual’s security risk”. (29)

If there's one thing I've learned about how Klaus operates, it's that his "predictions" are not predictions. They're manifestos disguised as predictions. If he says something might happen, that means that people connected to the WEF are already actively working to make it happen:

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: https://law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/a...-The_Fourth_Industrial_Revolution_Klaus_S.pdf

This book has some rather interesting quotes:

Synthetic biology is the next step. It will provide us with the ability to customize organisms by writing DNA. Setting aside the profound ethical issues this raises, these advances will not only have a profound and immediate impact on medicine but also on agriculture and the production of biofuels.

We are developing new ways to embed and employ devices that monitor our activity levels and blood chemistry, and how all of this links to well-being, mental health and productivity at home and at work. We are also learning far more about how the human brain functions and we are seeing exciting developments in the field of neurotechnology. This is underscored by the fact that – over the past few years - two of the most funded research programs in the world are in brain sciences. It is in the biological domain where I see the greatest challenges for the development of both social norms and appropriate regulation. We are confronted with new questions around what it means to be human, what data and information about our bodies and health can or should be shared with others, and what rights and responsibilities we have when it comes to changing the very genetic code of future generations.

As stressed several times in this book, we only have a limited sense of the ultimate potential of new technologies and what lies ahead. This is no less the case in the realm of international and domestic security. For each innovation we can think of, there will be a positive application and a possible dark side. While neurotechnologies such as neuroprosthetics are already employed to solve medical problems, in future they could be applied to military purposes. Computer systems attached to brain tissue could enable a paralysed patient to control a robotic arm or leg. The same technology could be used to direct a bionic pilot or soldier. Brain devices designed to treat the conditions of Alzheimer’s disease could be implanted in soldiers to erase memories or create new ones. “It’s not a question of if non-state actors will use some form of neuroscientific techniques or technologies, but when, and which ones they’ll use,” reckons James Giordano, a neuroethicist at Georgetown University Medical Center, “The brain is the next battlespace.” 51

Understanding and grasping new ways of keeping our physical bodies in harmony with our mind, our emotions, and the world at-large is incredibly important, and we are learning more about this through the incredible advances being made in numerous areas, including medical sciences, wearable devices, implantable technologies and brain research. In addition, I often say that a leader requires “good nerves” to address effectively the many simultaneous and complex challenges that we are facing. This will be increasingly critical in order to navigate and harness the opportunities of the fourth industrial revolution.

Shift 1: Implantable Technologies The tipping point: The first implantable mobile phone available commercially By 2025: 82% of respondents expected this tipping point will have occurred People are becoming more and more connected to devices, and those devices are increasingly becoming connected to their bodies. Devices are not just being worn, but also being implanted into bodies, serving communications, location and behaviour monitoring, and health functions. Pacemakers and cochlear implants were just the beginning of this, with many more health devices constantly being launched. These devices will be able to sense the parameters of diseases; they will enable individuals to take action, send data to monitoring centres, or potentially release healing medicines automatically. Smart tattoos and other unique chips could help with identification and location. Implanted devices will likely also help to communicate thoughts normally expressed verbally through a “built-in” smart phone, and potentially unexpressed thoughts or moods by reading brainwaves and other signals.

Shift 23: Neurotechnologies 104 The tipping point: The first human with fully artificial memory implanted in the brain There is not one area of our personal and professional lives that cannot benefit from a better understanding of how our brain functions – at both the individual and collective levels. This is underscored by the fact that – over the past few years - two of the most funded research programs in the world are in brain sciences: The Human Brain Project (a €1 billion project over 10 years funded by the European Commission) and President Obama’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative. Although these programs are primarily focused on scientific and medical research, we are also witnessing the rapid growth (and influence) of neurotechnologies in non-medical aspects of our lives. Neurotechnology consists of monitoring brain activity and looking at how the brain changes and/or interfaces with the world. In 2015, for example, the portability and the affordability of neuro-headsets (which already cost less than a gaming console) offer unprecedented possibilities - marking what is likely to be not only a neuro-revolution, but also a societal one 105 .

This book had a follow-on, Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: https://www.pdfdrive.com/shaping-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-d195259919.html

That one has some interesting quotes, too:

The lines between technologies and beings are becoming blurred, and not just by the ability to create lifelike robots or synthetic organisms. Instead, it is about the ability of new technologies to literally become part of us. Technologies already influence how we understand ourselves, how we think about each other, and how we determine our realities. As the technologies in this section give us deeper access to parts of ourselves, we may begin to integrate digital technologies into our bodies. The metaphor of the “cyborg” may seem to have lost its ability to shock, but the future may see curious mixes of digital-and-analog life that will redefine our very natures. The chapters here cover biotechnologies, neurotechnologies and brain science, and virtual and augmented reality devices. Perhaps more than any other set of technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, these will challenge us ethically. These technologies will operate within our own biology and change how we interface with the world. They are capable of crossing the boundaries of body and mind, enhancing our physical abilities, and even having a lasting impact on life itself. They are more than mere tools, and demand special consideration for their ability to augment or intrude upon human beings, human behaviors and human rights.

That PDF is only a partial book; it is missing many, many chapters. I happen to have the actual book in hardcover, though, so I can take some pics with my phone camera:

Imagine a man who describes 6.5 billion people as "useless eaters" and you have Klaus Schwab. His money has bought nearly every politician on Earth to try and herd humanity into his "great reset" which is "great" for him but not so great for you. In fact, he's dreaming of exterminating the "useless eaters" completely. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

You might expect this to come, at least, from a model of genetic excellence but Klaus is flabby, unattractive, and not very bright - his only distinguishing characteristic was to be born rich.

Read this to get an insight into how much his personal privilege has given him so that it lets him believe he's already become your supreme overlord. Don't read it for anything of value, he has no idea what that looks like.

Which is exactly why everyone should read this genocide manifesto. I am dismayed that only three other people have. They are blissfully ignorant of what awaits them.

Because Jabbing Just Isn't Enough

We know the COV PCR "tests" are MEANINGLESS, not even useful to detect "contagion risk" for a disease that (details, details) no one actually dies from. BUT, here are the testing benefits envisioned by the top Corona Crimes planners by forcing the global peasantry through routine "COV testing" procedures to keep their jobs, cross borders, get government benefits, etc -

a) Helps to ensnare a much larger percent of the wily and determined ones who've refused to get jabbed.

b) It's being used to build a massive global DNA database tied to personal identity. Apart from gnarly cloning and "black magic" apps - fav Cabal hobbies - the Bad News is that the Skylink system can communicate with graphene oxide nanos in the jabbed, for real-time inescapable 24-7 tracking and control purposes.

c) Helps accustom the global peasantry to the fact that their civil and human rights have been permanently revoked. They must learn to submit to the global technocratic fascist state upon demand, to keep the basic means for survival. However, as consolation prize, the apex closet satanist COV perps have made it all more palatable by branding the COV Great Reset as being "Inclusive," "Diverse" and "Sustainable."

d) Having been busted for impregnating the porous membrane at the back of the nasal cavity with graphene oxide nanos in test swabs - because, from there, they enter the cranial cavity and often cause cerebral hemorrhaging - the Cabal's latest PCR dirty test trick involves nasal swabs "...tainted with a deadly bacteria that causes...a flesh-eating disease that quickly destroys tissue under the skin and often results in death."

So, summing up. Not only do you not want to get JABBED, you also do not want to get "TESTED." And, since it's all THE CRIME OF THE MILLENNIA, why not just stand up and call it that versus playing patty-cake with the idiot MSM brain dead in your local vicinity?

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2022

We see worldwide the errection of an anti libertarian carrot and stick regime, carrot if you do as told, inject experimental gene therapy drugs that have maimed and killed way too many to not be taken off the market, on the other hand the stick, the lockdowns, willful destruction of the old system to erect the Great Reset. Until Mr Schwab addresses the evil that costs many lives, from unsafe but force injected drugs, to lockdown measure, poisonous mask wearing to permanent fear drums , there is little here that is "an optimistic book that categorically rejects the negativity that permeates too many doomsday narratives" The doomsday manure and lies by governments, seemlingsly getting their directives from other institutions such as the WEF and WHO, instead of their own people and medical experts, came upon us from people with a God complex who think they know best what the planet needs.
No, a worldwide awakening from the bottom up is the only movement that will ensure true health, freedom of choice what goes into our bodies, despite Gates' best attempts to convince us of the need for biochips and electronic short leashes (Digital ID on phones), with true representation of local interests, and a system of carefully negotiated principles between people, not ordered top - down by an ilustrous club of billionaires and their puppet masters via their bought and paid for media clowns.

In any case, Klaus Schwab has a very clearly stated interest in neurotech and other human enhancement technologies and their practical applications, and the WEF have hosted people directly involved in this field.

The transhumanist angle is basically impossible to ignore. It's overt. It's in-your-face.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I find it the transhumanism to be so horrifying. What happened to these people to hate life so much?

The tyranny that "runs the show" in this world seems to like the idea that this physical reality is all there is. And biological life here is naturally temporary, and this physical reality doesn't support immortality well. Unless one is a machine, some "completely incorporeal entity" like an "uploaded mind" in a simulation - or so they think. And of course, said tyranny really likes the idea of the "little people" reduced to cybernetic serfs under absolute control.

The tyranny that "runs the show" in this world seems to not like the view that this life is temporary, and merely a prelude to an eternity where the Almighty - not them - runs the show, and the soul of the "little person" can be free and not controlled at all.

In such a view, a corrupt elite may face a fate that's not so great after death.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
