Governments around the world are building a control network through technology - a former official in the US "We have seen many urges by governments around the world to introduce extensive digital identification systems - the reasons given why we need them, beyond building a control network, are very creative," warns the investment banker and former US Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Pitts, claiming that technology such as artificial intelligence, surveillance infrastructure and digital control make the future possible. "If we go to a fully digital financial system, then central banks will have full control over taxation systems and rules that can be enforced through financial transaction controls," Pitts adds. She emphasizes that this opens up a variety of options for those who wish to impose spatial and financial control, including the introduction of fees, increasing taxes and restricting those who oppose other government policies. substack | talk.
