I would not be surprised if this social credit system is tied in with your cell phone. Its how they can track you and monitor you. We may need to seriously consider going Luddite and dropping cell phones to retain our autonomy.
Hmm, now I wonder what was it that the late John McAfee had developed shortly before he died in mysterious circumstances? Oh yes, I know, it was a completely anonymous SIM card!
my neighbor told me that yesterday. they were out of town, her phone was off, they went to a store, and when they came back home they had an advertisement on it from the store they visited
@winni - True but 99.99% of the people out there have some kind of phone. If anything, we just go back to the flip phones as seen in Breaking Bad. The flip phones are 'safer' in that the govt will not know what you are doing but they certainly can track where you are going.
Right on, Tessa. This is the nightmare scenario that will never end. I hope people will see that they must reject these WEForum schemes outright, and refuse to participate, or they're all going to get trapped. Same with the metaverse. You said lead with our hearts, I so agree. I keep asking God for guidance, and a little while ago when I was thinking about the metaverse, I heard God saying to me, "Don't Even Go In There." This is the rest of that story. How are we going to stop the onslaught of this digital ID, digital (centrally controlled programmable) money, social credit scores, and the metaverse prison? It seems most will go quietly to their own enslavement and slaughter, or is there perhaps still hope for humanity? https://steemit.com/metaverse/@evantalks/why-i-m-rejecting-meta-and-you-should-too-if-you-believe-in-god
Instead of government transparency and individual opacity, we're moving toward government opacity and individual transparency.
This is part of the movement toward authoritarian control and this movement requires a world-view (Weltanschauung) that's the opposite of the Enlightenment ideal of self-reliance on one's own reason and perceptions, and puts faith and trust in authority instead. But the problem that many who place trust in authority seem not to recognize is that we should always be suspicious of authority and always be vigilant of the abuse of power by organizations and institutions; this vigilance is foundational to the idea of political "checks and balances."
In my view, the root cause of our current condition and susceptibility to authoritarian rule lies not so much with the WEF and authoritarian regimes themselves but with our collective selves and our largely unconscious defense of, and reliance on, authority, which allows authoritarians to grow and prosper. Instead of questioning everything, too many of us tend to an ideology and Weltanschauung of obeying everything. This is what we've been taught and is what's reinforced almost daily as we're warned off questioning the supposed authority of science, for example, or we're chastised for promoting "misinformation" that doesn't spring from authoritative sources.
I call it "auctorphilia." It's what makes authoritarianism possible.
the heart has cognitive cells. to a lesser extent so do the intestines and reproductive system. so when we say gut feeling, that's because it really is a gut feeling
A strategy of tension (Italian: strategia della tensione) is a policy wherein violent struggle is encouraged rather than suppressed. The purpose is to create a general feeling of insecurity in the population and make people seek security in a strong government. This is supposed to pave the way for a more authoritarian, or even neofascist, government.
Yes! Think with our hearts. I believe following such guidance will never fail us. It may seem hard to understand at tmes, but I have found understanding and clarity often emerges gradually. Sort of like the "hind sight is 20/20" idea. From my experience, the knowing, after "heart following moments", emerges with sincere intensity and typically tears. Despite the strength of the response, I find it comforting... soothing... reassuring. A confirming feeling/ response. Yes, follow the heart ❤️. Thanks for the reminder, Tessa!
Indeed, Kelly, Tessa and all here. I am living testimony to following the heart. Coming of age in the 60s, I fled my Connecticut home, prep school, wealth, connections and privilege early in '69 to follow my heart. I went deep into the Sierra Nevada wilderness, opened my new Bible to a Gospel, and in an instant connected with Christ. After many rugged adventures in California, I returned east, attended Woodstock with 2 friends, and entered a seminary. Christ told me to leave, that a woman awaited me whose hand I was meant to hold ... so I did. And years later, after another journey to an island in Maine, I felt called to college, and graduated with honors ... and met her. Married 46 years with 9 children and many grandchildren, I composed this poem to the great Lady my Lord Jesus sent to heal my heart. Yes, and with the Beatitudes ("Blessings") that begin the Sermon on the Mount, we were taught to live by the heart, not regulations. And in our true hearts will be His defense for us in these End Times:
Lady of Love
Out on the meadow beneath a diamond sky
the doe stands framed in eloquence of star and soil.
The stag’s horns trail off
in splintered bursts of starlit splendor,
And peace vies with the Shout from Heaven’s gates
that Life is brought back to a barren land.
A woman’s hand reaches out
with the splendor of God’s life
To pair with her husband’s after the long sleep,
beauty of simple goodness
Perfected in her sweet clasp.
Lanterns of the night sky pierce the dark,
adorning it with jewels of light.
O majesty of love greatly given,
O wife, faithful answer to this young boy’s fears,
I actually watched and read those WEF links. What's disturbing is the # of times they use "rules" and "rulemaking" and "regulation". This is all about NOT testing new tech, all about the ends justifies the means, all about demonizing appropriate regulation as standing in the way of the holy 'innovation' and 'progress.' So we can have a lot more things like 'untested mRNA jabs--because PANDEMIC!!' and 5G (which in 2019 had not been tested for health effects at all (https://youtu.be/ekNC0J3xx1w )). Scary stuff--thanks for pointing it out.
I understand what you mean by "thinking with our hearts"... I truly do. But we have way too many people who think with their *emotions* and believe they are thinking with their hearts. I believe that true "thinking" includes one's mind, heart and emotion and knowing how to determine whether the problem at hand requires a solution that comes from the mind, the heart, or our emotions. Another beautiful post Ms Tessa.
Same here, I'll keep resisting in every way I can, but also have an escape plan ready if the lemmings around us accept this garbage. The Canada I grew up in was always polite but brave & ready to stand up for what's right. I can barely recognize our country anymore.
As someone who has been watching this unfold for over 45 years, seeing it happen is both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
I do however, feel compelled to respectfully disagree with your statement:
'Perhaps the most important thing we can do to stand up to the Great Reset is to remember how to think with our hearts, to allow our hearts to guide our choices, whatever it means for each person in each circumstance.'
I think the WEF and their band of control freaks ARE 'thinking with their hearts'! That is the problem! Their hearts are as black as coal.
Scripture says that the heart of man is evil in all its ways and, regretfully, I would have to agree. Christians like to use the excuse, "HE knows what's in my heart." to minimize their transgressions. Every time I hear them say that I want to reply, "Yes, HE does and that ought to scare the crap out of you!"
To quote a famous book, 'The perverse wish to hide a bad motive underneath a good one, permeates human affairs from top to bottom'.
I cannot see what is in your heart anymore than you can see what is in mine. When I have a crazy feeling or idea it seldom feels or seems crazy. When I verbally express that idea to another person, I frequently get a negative reaction or strange looks. However, when I write down my feelings or thoughts on paper it is only then that I realize my 'good idea' is a class one felony in all 50 states!
This phenomenon between what is written and mental retention and comprehension has been documented in the educational community and explains why students who take written notes retain more information.
It is only when something is written down that feelings and ideas can become guiding principles. The fundamentals ideas that promote the health and safety of this planet are not too numerous to codify. God Almighty gave me 10 simple instructions. Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus put their rules in books. Governments have put their laws in libraries of books.
It seems that the fundamental problem is that few people are really doing what they say.
I think we ARE doing what is in our hearts... and so are they!
The heart (spiritually speaking) has the capabilities of good and evil and we are definitely seeing the results of the latter of the two. all the delusions and illusions of humanity pour out everywhere even in what we write and speak!
Yes, that 'diverse' panoply of corporate luminaries all speaking with one globalist voice. They urge us to adopt their "innovative solutions", while all they are really doing is distracting us from the "innovative problems" that they themselves create. Don't they have another script? It's becoming tedious.
Blah, Blah, Blah...these tech inclined people do go on so, as to how marvellous, important and good for the proverbial 'growth' this smart city, internet of bodies, blah, blah, blah will be for us all. Can't believe they are still on about growth knowing that the planet is a finite place, must be to make largish companies believe they can get bigger. Don't know who else they might be fooling...more and more people are either laughing at the WEF initiative in progress or downright determined to bypass, avoid, nullify, disempower, negate, or otherwise deflate this arrogant, cloud cuckoo land comic book, arrested developmentally challenged bunch of would be super-beings. Phew! Glad to get that off my chest!

You Can Still Use a Pager in 2022

With iOS 15 It can even find your phone when it’s off. https://www.theverge.com/22697218/iphone-apple-ios-15-find-my-how-to
my neighbor told me that yesterday. they were out of town, her phone was off, they went to a store, and when they came back home they had an advertisement on it from the store they visited
Maybe the best is not to take the phone with you anywhere
Indeed, one of the Cats told me that a while ago. I leave mine home as long as I don't really need it.
Same here!
Another reason to use your tin foil.
Oh wow. There literally is no way to hide!
I’m definitely getting a dumb phone soon as my contract is up… maybe even sooner
What about those without cell phones? They can't force people to own cellphones. I don't think it will work
@winni - True but 99.99% of the people out there have some kind of phone. If anything, we just go back to the flip phones as seen in Breaking Bad. The flip phones are 'safer' in that the govt will not know what you are doing but they certainly can track where you are going.

They need to work out the kinks of dissenters, protests, and revolt. Let’s hope Europeans hate it, and them as much as we do.
Breaks my heart. I love Italy. Would go at least 1 a year.
Have lots of friends there. Now to have the demonic Globalist take over… may the WEF filth rot in hell soon.

some scary news here in the us - jb pritzker of illinois who is up to his eyeballs in this insanity is behind this orwellian scheme https://standforhealthfreedom.com/federal/this-is-your-warning/
forewarned is forearmed - more of us than there are of them!
Scary. Thanks for the info.
Of course they start this up in Bologna
Rapt in liverworst...ha ha

O wife, faithful answer to this young boy’s fears,
Making Earth fit to live, fecund and sweet.
There is majesty on the plain,
meaning in day’s work,
Peace in the soul for the receiving.
I have felt it in my lady’s hand tonight,
A promise never to let go,
made first by our God and seconded in her.
The answer to all longing
came to me in my lady’s gentle clasp,
Her hands so faithful, her heart so glad,
She just had to share it with me
Her happy king.

Thanks for letting us know what you found there! I will go read it as well.

it'll have a terrible impact
Canada, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Singapore, UAE and UK -- you're first.
I live in Canada, and look who is in charge! You are right, and I fully intend to keep dissenting and resisting.
Same here, I'll keep resisting in every way I can, but also have an escape plan ready if the lemmings around us accept this garbage. The Canada I grew up in was always polite but brave & ready to stand up for what's right. I can barely recognize our country anymore.
