In this August 18th story over at Activist Post that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website on Monday morning, Chris Menahan reports upon a stunning announcement made by the Global Times; the nation of China had banned 2.56 million people, who they term 'discredited entities', from purchasing plane tickets during the month of July while another 90,000 'entities' had been banned from buying high-speed rail tickets in July as well.
As the Activist Post story reported in its' opening sentence, "this is the system our ruling oligarchs are trying to implement in America". And with 'big tech' already implementing their own form of 'social credit' system where they have been cracking down upon and censoring Christians and Conservatives simply for their political and religious views, while censoring and doing anything they can to punish websites such as ANP who publish news which they disagree with and don't want the masses to know, Paul Joseph Watson warns in this new story that the way we're quickly headed, it's only a matter of time before THIS arrives in the West.:
Imagine going to buy groceries with your credit card, but then having your payment declined because someone in an office in San Francisco thinks you posted something “hateful” on the Internet.
That’s our collective future.
And while you may think that possibility to be a stretch here in the USA, we've already been rapidly hurdling in that direction and as Watson reports, "while many on the left and in the media decry China’s Orwellian social credit score system, they simultaneously advocate for a similar thing in the west, where people are deplatformed and have their right to engage in commerce revoked because of their political views."
Yet while Conservative/independent news websites attempting to get the truth out to Americans are punished, censored and de-platformed, as Menahan also reported within his story, “on the other hand, media outlets which push propaganda in accordance with the desires of our ruling oligarchs are rewarded by having their content algorithmically artificially boosted and handed millions of dollars.”

So we'll be taking a look within this story at not only where China is now, giving us a taste of where the 'oligarchs' are attempting to take America in the 'present' to ensure the globalists 'desired future' for our country, but we'll also re-visit the website Deagel.com, which has been bizarrely forecasting the United States to have a major 'depopulation event or events' over the next few years which takes our 320+ million population down to only 100 million by 2025 as well as forecasting America to be a 3rd world nation by 2025.
Before proceeding, let's first take a look at this story over at Bored Panda titled "Here’s How China’s ‘Social Credit Score’ Punish And Reward Citizens, And It Sounds Like Dystopian Fiction" to get a look at just how China is punishing their own people based upon 'behaviors', some as simple as distrusting the government.
The 'Dystopian future' is here, and there’s literally no escape from it. While European countries fight for the safety of personal data on the Internet, China has adopted a Big Brother-style country-wide people tracking system. And we don’t mean the simple surveillance cameras as the Chinese took it to a whole another level with facial recognition and gait tracking so smart that you would never be able to cheat on.
Well, the tracking part might be counted as a security measure, but where the facial recognition software data is actually used is absolutely mind-blowing. The government records your credit history, fulfillment capacity, identity characteristics, social relationships, behavior and preferences, and based on your choices they will give you a social score from 350 to 950. If you fall into the ‘good citizen’ category with a score of more than 700, you’ll get better loan rates, you can skip queues, rent things without a deposit and even get better matches on dating sites. If you fall into the ‘bad’ category with lower scores you may be restricted from well-paying jobs, your kids will not be able to go to a good school and not only you’ll be banned from buying domestic flight tickets but also leaving the country. If that isn’t scary, we don’t know what is.
If you’ve read the dystopian fiction masterpiece by George Orwell called 1984, the eerie similarities will give you goose-bumps and probably some sleepless nights.
The future is now.

As Paul Joseph Watson had also reported within his story, should someone in China engage in any of the 'behaviors' listed below, their social credit scores will be punished. Is there anybody reading this story who has taken part in any of the 'behaviors' below? Take note that 'posting fake news online' is one of the 'behaviors', and with Democratic politicians here in America labeling any Conservative news as 'fake news', just imagine the kind of abuse this system is absolutely ripe for! We've included the video Watson speaks about below at the bottom of this story. From Paul Joseph Watson.:
As I document in the video below, Chinese citizens are punished by having their social credit score lowered for engaging in a number of different behaviors, including;
– Bad driving.
– Smoking on trains.
– Buying too many video games.
– Buying too much junk food.
– Buying too much alcohol.
– Calling a friend who has a low credit score .
– Having a friend online who has a low credit score.
– Posting “fake news” online.
– Criticizing the government.
– Visiting unauthorized websites.
– Walking your dog without a leash.
– Letting your dog bark too much.
The Bored Panda story also had the infographics within their story seen both above and below showing some of the punishments for 'bad' and 'ugly' behavior and take note, the Chinese government punishes the people of China just for having friends with poor social credit scores, "actively encouraging people to ostracize their friends who don't toe the 'Party line'". Sound familiar in 2019? Talk about dictatorship.

Recent discussions about an executive order that would “help protect” conservatives from bias on social media have brought a bone of contention to the forefront. Are alternative and conservative media actually being censored or are non-mainstream journalists and bloggers just whining?
by Daisy Luther
As the owner of a website that is demonstrably facing censorship, I can tell you that from my point of view, we Americans are currently in the midst of a virtual “book burning” akin to the ones we look back on in shame.
As early as 221 BC in China, the burning of books has always foreshadowed a crackdown on dissent and information. It’s probably no surprise that Adolph Hitler ordered the burning of “subversive” books in Nazi Germany, and the McCarthy era brought public burnings of any book that could be – if one’s imagination was stretched to the absolute limit – related to communism. There are many cases of modern-day book-burning, and it generally links to opposing views, either religious, social, or political.
In the past, torching texts was a tactic used by conquerors to wipe the slate of history clean. In 213 B.C., China’s Emperor Shih Huang Ti thought that if he burned all the documents in his kingdom, history would begin with him. (He went as far as burying alive those scholars who continued to teach old ideas.)
Eight centuries later, legend says, Caliph Omar burned some 200,000 objectionable books belonging to the library of Alexandria, warming the city’s baths for six months.
When the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258, the waters of the Tigris were said to have run black with ink from all the destroyed books.
In 1492, after the Spanish conquered Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Western Europe, they allegedly emptied many of the city’s treasured libraries and set their contents all to flame.
Then there are those who have burned books to silence opposing views.
Catholics torched the writings of Protestant reformer Martin Luther.
The Nazis lit a towering bonfire of books by Jewish and leftist writers such as Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud and Upton Sinclair.
And many 1950s Americans, spurred by Senator Joseph McCarthy, hunted for procommunism books to burn. (source)
How is silencing opposing views on the internet any different than burning a library filled with inconvenient information?
Opposing views on the internet can be silenced in a number of ways. Keep in mind you don’t have to like the examples I provide here. If they came for these people or websites, they can come for your favorites next until all we have left is a government-controlled media. This has happened in China and Venezuela, just to name a couple of places.
.Some of the ways our virtual books are being burned are deplatforming (when people can no longer publicly express their opinions), being hidden by search engines (when readers can no longer find the information), and financial starvation (when site owners can no longer afford to keep running the website or pay writers and researchers.)
