Social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens, and it is being implemented globally, with China being a prime example.
The system is being implemented in various countries, including Holland, Denmark, Ireland, Iran and India. And similar systems are already in place in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, Italy, Ukraine, France, Canada, Austria, Germany, Russia, Zimbabwe and Thailand.
These systems often involve digital IDs, vaccine passports and tracking of citizens’ behaviour. The goal is to control behaviour and replace democracy with artificial intelligence-driven decision-making. It is all part of The Great Reset.
Politicians, journalists, social scientists, masochists and communists talk about social credit as if it were a “good thing.”
“I don’t know what all the fuss is about,” said one. “It won’t be so bad. In fact, if you behave yourself, it will be a good thing.”
A programme promoting social credit on NBC News in the US stated that social credit pushes people to become better citizens. “You’re not going to be punished if you haven’t done anything wrong,” they said, ignoring the fact that it is the Government which decides the definition of wrong.
Well, if you are a fan of totalitarianism or communism, then I suppose social credit is a good thing.
However, there is no escaping the fact that social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens. Every new law and rule ties into the social credit system, which is now clearly the way in which the Great Reset will be turned into a practical reality. It is government policy everywhere to exhaust their citizens with a constant barrage of new rules and regulations (which are backed by force and therefore have the power of law).
And although all this may sound like futuristic science fiction, it isn’t. Social credit is here, and it is growing by the minute.
Take a look at precisely how social credit operates in China.
The social credit system set up in China was officially introduced in 2014, though it was planned many years before that and given official approval back at the beginning of the 21st century when Shanghai introduced a credit system designed to assess eligibility for loans – in much the same way as has been done in the West for many years. In fact, of course, social ratings and rankings have been used in China for millennia. But what has been happening since 2014 has been happening very quickly. By 2017, there were 8.8 million Chinese citizens listed as debtors on a “shame” list.
The idea of the system is that information about every person will be collected together from all possible sources – schools, workplaces, banks, doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, police, libraries, supermarkets, internet platforms, travel companies, closed-circuit television cameras (usually facial recognition software) and so on. Policemen in China wear facial recognition sunglasses. (Facial recognition technology is used in the USA and, according to the Department of Homeland Security, all travellers, whether US citizens or not, will be subject to facial recognition technology.
A British court ruled in 2019 that biometric face scanners do not violate privacy and human rights, and it is acceptable for the police to use them in the UK.) Chinese stores are planning to use facial recognition cameras so that customers can make purchases simply by looking at a camera. Around 200 million surveillance cameras in China are used in conjunction with artificial intelligence facial recognition cameras. Anyone anywhere in the world who uses a camera which uses facial recognition software should know that their faces will be recorded and stored. It is impossible to have a UK passport without being photographed by a camera which uses software to put your image into storage.
Recognition software can identify people by the way they walk. Smart meters installed in private homes will tell the authorities what time you get up, what time you eat, what you eat, when you go to the loo and when you go to bed. If you get a speeding fine or a parking ticket, the details of that offence will be recorded too. Citizens can gain points by being willing to give blood or by proving themselves to be hard workers.
