A Forecast For 2030 (Part 2)
Woke Dictatorship in the United States
As I outlined in my previous post, the United States will experience high inflation and a sluggish economy as the U.S. dollar is gradually abandoned. Living standards will decline, and social unrest will accelerate across America.
The U.S. government will use this opportunity to crush dissent and bring about a woke dictatorship, aided by technologies like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and rules like KYC (Know Your Customer) legislation. Those who disagree with the new regime will have their bank accounts frozen, be sent to prison, or simply be exterminated.
You had better agree with LGBT ideology, abortion, and climate alarmism in order to live. Welcome to the new United States of America.
Our story starts not with the United States, but rather Canada in the midst of COVID.
Tyranny in Canada
In 2020, a public health emergency was declared worldwide over COVID-19, and governments exploited this to impose totalitarianism on their people: lockdowns, vaccine mandates, travel restrictions, etc. These interventions were untested and were even opposed by top scientists. There were no good studies supporting such drastic measures.
One by one, everyone followed the madness. In Australia, you could be sent to quarantine prisons for violating the rules. In Greece, the unvaccinated were fined. Doctors lost their licenses for simply asking questions. Priests and pastors were harassed or thrown in jail for exercising their religious freedoms.
Canada was one of the worst jurisdictions. Unvaccinated Canadians couldn’t fly in a plane, ride a train, eat in a restaurant, or even leave the country. Workers who refused vaccination were fired, and the government tried to separate Canadian families over vaccination status. A major political leader was even jailed for opposing COVID rules.
In early 2022, Canadians had had enough. A Trucker Convoy passed through the frozen Canadian landscape, en route to Ottawa, the Canadian capital. Their demand was simple: remove all COVID mandates across the country.
The rest, as they say, is history. The Trucker Convoy forced the Canadian government — and the world — to let go of their foolish pandemic restrictions.
However, not before a fight. On February 14, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked The Emergencies Act (i.e. martial law) to crush the Freedom Convoy protesters, despite the fact that they were peaceful and law-abiding.
In addition to using the police to violently suppress the Freedom Convoy, Trudeau also froze truckers’ bank accounts and seized their property. Many were charged with dubious crimes like ‘conspiracy to commit mischief.’ Some of the Convoy protesters struggle to find work to this day due to their financial losses and spurious criminal proceedings.
By freezing bank accounts, the Trudeau government tested social control through the financial system. The message was clear: if you protest against government policies, then your family will starve. The crackdown on the Freedom Convoy was a beta test to pave the way for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which will lead to absolute dictatorship.
Financial Coercion and Control
Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are programmable digital tokens issued and controlled by central banks like the Bank of Canada and U.S. Federal Reserve. They can be used as money, and are intended to improve transaction speed and security. According to the Atlantic Council, 114 countries are developing CBDCs, and 11 nations have fully launched one, including Nigeria and Jamaica.
Critics claim that since CBDCs are programmable, they can be used for social engineering and to silence political dissidents. For example, if you were to criticize a politician online, then your CBDC account can be frozen and you would lose access to your money. This is essentially what Prime Minister Trudeau did to the Trucker protesters, except that a CBDC makes freezing bank accounts much easier.
Imagine the following scenario.
The government prohibits all forms of money except for CBDCs, and uses the technology to enforce woke policies. To ensure that climate change targets are met, you are banned from consuming more than 3 tons of CO2 per year (the average American consumes 16 tons). Also, if you say anything hateful against homosexuals or trannies, then you can lose access to your bank account.
One day, you try to book a flight to visit your grandmother, who lives across the country. When you go to purchase the ticket, you are met with this message:
TRANSACTION DENIED. YOUR ANNUAL CARBON ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN EXCEEDED.
Why? Because flying on a plane uses too much CO2.
The following day, there is a school shooting. The perpetrator identifies as a transsexual. You post on Twitter, pointing to scientific studies which show that transsexuals are more likely to support violence, and that the government should therefore take Trans Terrorism seriously.
As soon as you post, your phone buzzes. You read the following message on the screen with horror:
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BLOCKED DUE TO HATE SPEECH. PLEASE UNDERGO SENSITIVITY TRAINING TO UNBLOCK YOUR ACCOUNT.
You might ask how the government would know that you’re the one who is posting. Surely you can just use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to hide your identity online?
Wrong.
The End of Internet Anonymity
To be sure, nothing you post online is completely anonymous. Even if you use a VPN to hide your location, there are ways to track you down. However, this requires effort on the part of state actors.
Their job will be much easier, however, once KYC (Know Your Customer) legislation is fully enacted and enforced. KYC makes it easier for the government to track you by requiring identification every time you use a service like the internet. Every time you connect to Wi-Fi, your computer will require you to provide ID, so that the government always knows it is you.
Typically, KYC is used in banking to prevent money laundering, but the scope of legislation will be expanded to apply to communications: the internet and cellphones in particular. Social media companies (like Twitter and Instagram) will record users’ addresses and social security data, and report ‘hateful’ posts to the authorities. These rules will make it easier for governments to identify political dissidents and crush them.
Elites are already discussing how to bring about these changes. The Australian government introduced legislation that would require social media companies to collect data on users, to combat “bots and bigots and trolls.” In France, Senator Alain Cadec is agitating for a Digital Identity Control Authority, which will ensure that social media users’ personal information is shared with the government.
How This Will Unfold
As the U.S. dollar continues to weaken and Americans lose wealth to inflation and a deteriorating real economy, riots will erupt across the land and the social fabric will totally break down. A crisis, whether real or manufactured, will occur, and the government will offer a solution: Universal Basic Income (UBI).
UBI was already tested during COVID lockdowns, when the Trump administration mailed $1,200 stimulus checks to Americans. Universal Basic Income simply extends this indefinitely, providing everyone with a check every month or so. Nobody will have to work, since they can simply collect funds from the government.
(The average citizen is too uneducated to realize that their economic situation is actually made worse, in the medium term, when the government prints money and gives it to them for nothing.)
Americans will be offered aid in the trough of the crisis, when they are begging for solutions. Washington will comply, offering them Universal Basic Income — and distributing the free money through central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). If you want economic relief, then you will have to accept the CBDC wallet and, by extension, complete control over your financial transactions.
The Federal Reserve will control all of your spending decisions, ensuring that you are the most feminist, least racist, and most carbon-conscious LGBT ally that money can buy.
A cyberattack will subsequently follow, and will be deftly averted by brave National Security Agency (NSA) operatives. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been preparing for a serious cyberattack since 2021, and has a strange track record of correctly predicting future events. Regardless, the NSA will swing to the rescue, and Congress, to ensure that such cyber terrorism never occurs again, will pass KYC legislation. Online privacy and anonymity will die.
The End Result: A Woke Dictatorship
The United States, for all its flaws, is the biggest threat to global tyranny because a bulk of the American people are conservative or libertarian, advocating for gun rights, freedom of speech, and religious liberties. These ideas, in turn, have spread to other nations. This is precisely why the global elite wants to destroy the U.S.A., and through the methods listed above, they will likely succeed.
The end result will be a woke American dictatorship which enforces its policies through CBDC technology and KYC legislation. Just like the peaceful January 6th protesters who dared to defy a leftist administration, all political dissidents will be quickly identified, arrested, and abandoned to rot in a dilapidated jail cell while awaiting a show trial. Those who remain will be indoctrinated into the new ideology.
This process is inevitable because leftists have shrewdly taken control of every lever of power in the United States: the courts, media, politics, academia, the military, and the churches. Even the so-called ‘conservative’ establishment is beholden to woke ideology; Jordan Peterson, for example, is in favour of KYC policies. The Trump administration itself was militantly pro-LGBT and pushed Orwellian pandemic restrictions.
The only hope for the U.S. is balkanization. States like Florida and South Dakota have recently defied CBDCs and LGBT ideology, while resisting gun bans and critical race theory. It is possible that these regions will break apart from the U.S. and form their own government, but the last time that happened, the seceding states were brutally crushed. If they continue to remain as part of the United States, then eventually the overwhelming might of the federal government will be brought to bear, and even Ron DeSantis will be powerless to oppose it. Secession is a temporary solution, and historically a bad one.
Of course, the U.S. itself cannot last forever with a disfigured economy. To succeed, a dictatorship must be strong. Woke ideology creates weak people who lack control over their base passions, and weak people make bad workers and even worse foot-soldiers. Yet bad workers won’t be a problem as artificial intelligence and robotics make automation increasingly feasible, allowing the economy to continue to expand, even while Americans themselves become less productive.
I will cover the nature of the changing workforce, and its political implications, in my next Substack post.
