Ah, yes, the coming mandatory "digital ID". It is always portrayed by the "players" as a benefit to the person using it. But it is the path to total control and digital/financial slavery of humans by an oligarchy of the usual ruling elite. Economist Catherine Austin Fitts explains the Central Bank's "going direct" financial reset in this short video from 2021, and she shows a video clip of the General Manager of the BIS (Central Bank of central banks), who states that, and I quote, "with the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), the Central Bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that [CBDC] ... and also we will have the technology to enforce that."
Catherine Austin Fitts then gives examples of how the CBDC's "absolute control" and the enforcement technology will inevitably manifest itself in our daily lives, and how the Covid-19 plandemic was used to soften up the masses to accept even more social control than what the bamboozled masses accepted when they fell for the Covid propaganda and scrambled to get their Covid jabs and Vaxx "passes" like good little panicked sheeple.
Yes, that is what I am detailing but from the deck plate level. Sorry, that’s a naval term. Detailing from the front lines. The one point I disagree with is this it already being implemented it stages.
Here in Japan, they have made astonishing progress. They have announced the merger of the “My Number” system with the national health care scheme. We have QR Code controlled rationing of event attendance and ever public restroom usage. And, financial transactions I make are reported to my country of origin and have been for 8 years.
In the U.S. you have the NSA recording every single email and phone call. We all have our whereabouts tracked unless we do not carry any electronic device and ride a horse everywhere…hell, unless your Amish they are tracking you through one method or another.
The time left to stop this is short and running out quickly.
I agree with you -- it's already being implemented in stages, and has been for decades -- all the false flag events in first world countries to usher in the previously drafted "new" legislation to "protect the public from future terrorists". Now all the "new" legislation spawned from the Covid psyop, including making it illegal for doctors, immunologists, virologists, etc. to disseminate "misinformation" about how your own government is poisoning you and making your children infertile with their mRNA technology, which will be used in all future "well baby" and "well children" jabs. All these countries currently handing over their sovereignty to the WHO (one of THE most corrupt organizations in the world) for all future "public health" decisions and mandates, and off to the quarantine camps the "dissidents" will be forced to go. I'm surrounded on all sides by clueless Kiwis who don't even know what their Prime Minister is up to -- WEF puppet "Comrade" Jacinda Ardern quietly signed us up for the WEF's "pilot program" for AI regulation: https://www.weforum.org/whitepapers/reimagining-regulation-for-the-age-of-ai-new-zealand-pilot-project
I remember reading about FATCA when it came out. It's another policy that pretends to be about tracking down money-laundering billionaires, but actually just squeezes pennies out of expatriates. Most countries tax residents based on the premise that if they live within its borders, they utilize public services. The USA, Myanmar and Eritrea are the only countries that levy a significant tax burden on people based purely on citizenship. This is particularly pernicious for "accidental Americans," such as Canadians born in Canada, but who have a US citizen as a parent.
You are remarkably well read on many things. So terribly few have the faintest clue about FATCA. Nobody knows about it and get angry when you try to inform them about it. I am well aware of the plight of accidental Americans in Canada as I have donated money to their charter challenge against Canada sending their tax data to the U.S. We lost.
You also mention the oft neglected species of Accidental American, those born abroad with a single U.S. parent, such as my kids. Almost all I have read on Accidental Americans focuses exclusively on those born in the U.S. to non U.S. parents and “return” to their homeland with their non U.S. citizen parents at very young ages.
All I have read sates that only two countries do this to their expats, the U.S. and Eritrea with the possibility that China has begun this and that no one knows if North Korea does this but it is suspected that they do. I do not recall Myanmar being on the list. Is this a relatively new addition? If so, is this newly learned or did they start doing this recently? I know that FinTech is planned to facilitate a global tax system with nations taxing their own diaspora first.
If I may take this opportunity to clarify for all who I hope read this, it is widely reported that all but these countries practice Resident Based Taxation (RBT) and that only these counties above practice practice Citizenship Based Taxation (CBT). This not true but not the entire truth. The U.S. and I presume these others, practice both RBT and CBT. So too it is with the U.S. and citizenship. The two methods of citizenship conferred at birth are through the blood, the nationality of your parents, or by the soil, where you were born. The U.S. uses both. Japan uses bloodline only. If I recall, this is the most common form of citizenship.
But none of this would really play a part in everyday living if not for the digital ID systems coming on line. As we U.S. persons are Trojan horses for the U.S. tax and reporting regimes, my kids’ futures are darker than most and all due to the fact that I am a U.S. citizen.
Martin Armstrong was pretty much the only person talking about FATCA at the time (2012). Are you familiar with his work? He can be a bit strident at times, but his sources and his computer models are phenomenal.
Just read the article you linked to. It is dated, as one should expect. In the 12 years since he published it, more is known. Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) do not have all the assets in the US confiscated if they don’t dance to Uncle Sam’s fiddle. The lose ONLY 30% of all US derived income as a noncompliance fee. Left out of this too is FBAR, which FATCA is really the enforce for.
It is not true that Americans over seas can no longer have even ordinary bank accounts in the countries we live in but that was very much the reality and still is for many, especially if they live in the EU and was the fear we all had. It turns out which model of InterGovernmental Agreement (IGA) the country of your residence signed. I no longer recall which does which but one allows for the government to turn over all financial data on all US persons to the US and the other requires the individual FFIs to do so. Not wanting to extra huge costs of determining which of their clients have tax and/or reporting issues with the US nor risk the 30% non compliance fee, they just shut out all who might possibly be a risk to them. Thus many Accidental Americans were immediately shut out of their accounts. I was not aware of the coin dealer but have read several accounts of people who suddenly had their mortgages called in or accounts frozen. There is one confirmed suicide over this that I am aware of. Many many many divorces because of this. I tell my students that if they are dating and American, break up. Do not have any dealings with Americans. We are all Trojan Horses for the US; not only taxes but all the regulatory agencies of the US. And, we pass thus curse on to our children even if they are citizens of other counties.
Japan signed the version requiring FFIs to spy on us. In the EU, this has caused financial lock out. I was shitting bricks by the ship load when they signed this version, fully expecting my accounts to be closed and I unable to receive my pay with my first kid on the way. JFIs opted to just raise everyone’s fees to cover the cost of spying on US Persons for the US. While I have not had my accounts closed nor my credit card cancelled, all transaction through my accounts are reported to three US. Every credit card purchase and payment too. I have been denied credit cards because of my nationality because of FATCA and we cannot get our preferred savings account for our kids because of my nationality thanks to FATCA.
I don’t think I do. Though I was vaguely aware that they were hunting down tax cheats who hid their wealth abroad, I did not think any of it applied to me until I started the process to renew my pass port towards the end of 2012. It would be 3 months of digging deep before I finally had enough hard evidence that it was all real and did apply to me, that was when I had my omg moment. Nothing has been the same since.
I spent years learning all I could about it seeking first to inform my fellow Americans in the vain hope that they would be incensed over the treatment of their fellow Americans. HA!. Most thought I was off my rocker, the US would never engage in such, you see. Others told me that that is what I get for leaving the fold. Others cheered; “You owe, you pay” one self described far right Reagan conservative typed over and over again. Then I spent years searching far a way out and when path after path was blocked, for an escape for my wife and kids, all of whom are Japanese. Nope for them either. I have sent cash in envelopes to Canada to add what little I could to their efforts to fight FATCA there, with some there just as obnoxious as my fellow Americans living in the Homeland. Ugly. I have sent letters to various committees and subcommittees of the US Congress and Senate and carried copies of my FATCA letter from a bank in Japan with me for 7 years to give out. How many have accepted the FATCA letter, do you suppose?
I stopped digging a few years ago. Unable to get any help back home and having driven away friends and acquaintances with my efforts to inform them and hopefully enlist their help, I decided to enjoy what time I have left with my family as much as I can.
Thanks for the link. Will look into what he has to say.
Hi - fascinating posts. Thank you. As an American who lived in Japan during much of the 1980s, and then again in the late 2000s, I was especially struck by your description of the destructive effect the covid restrictions and "guidance" have had on Japan's social fabric -- especially the kids.
Oh, yeah. Here are some of the traitors to Japan's national sovereignty -- the WEF's puppets in the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Japan:

Oh, geese, these morons are also the ones behind autonomous cars too?! They truly are blind to any and all possible down sides to any of their ideas.
