⚠️ You’ll get a bad social credit score by reading this!
Social credit systems are moving beyond Communist China and into the West.

One of the core tenets of Western civilisation — that is, the freedom, rights and privacy of the individual — is under threat from both forces internal and external.
External forces include the authoritarian rivals of the West, who see individualism as a threat to their rule.
Internal forces include those so-called “elites” seeking to mimic and establish similar authoritarian systems within Western nations as a means to remove dampen the sovereignty of the citizenry and thus destroy checks and balances to their corrupt use of power.
Arguably, the most potent threat against individual rights to emerge in recent years has been the social credit system within Communist China.
In an ironic twist, it utilises the same tool to suppress individual freedom that once was touted to be its greatest benefactor — the Internet.
The Chinese Communist Party regime holds unprecedented access to its citizens’ digital identity; every website visited, every link clicked, and every text sent — all is monitored by the government’s mass surveillance apparatus.
Those who seem to be too deviant [read: free thinkers] or seem to defy the regime have their social credits deducted and hence suffer a whole host of various penalties.
The social credit system is the most ambitious experiment of authoritarianism — one perfected to completely rid a billion people of their autonomy and keep their minds under siege.
Worse still, we are witnessing the gradual introduction of similar systems within our own Western societies — of course, under the guise of ‘public interest.’
The pathway to a social credit system in the West has been enhanced by COVID-19, with measures such a ‘vaccine’ passport system deployed by erstwhile democratic governments under the hoary old mantra of ‘keeping us safe’ (from a virus with 0.27 per cent infection fatality rate).
These ‘vaccine’ passports were essentially a prototype of the coming digital ID system.
In a recent interview published on the Rumble channel, The Vigilant Fox, Dr Mike Yeadon, who was the former chief scientist and vice-president of Pfizer's allergy and respiratory research unit, railed against the notion of digital ID systems.
Yeadon has been outspoken about the measures adopted to “fight” COVID-19 and how those measures have and could continue to lead to a loss of freedom, life and liberty.
Of digital ID systems, he rightly said:
Once you've got a digital ID, and they [say], 'You can't buy this cheap bread without sharing [digital ID]. If they say next week, 'You can't buy bread without sharing [digital ID],' or the week after, 'You can't buy food without it.' They literally changed the conditions. All it requires is a massive network and your digital ID, *beep*, into the system.... The database and the algorithms [would] determine whether you are [permitted] to enter somewhere or leave somewhere, [and] whether you're able to buy or sell any particular thing at any moment. That's the end of democracy; that's the end of freedom.
The race towards a digital ID system — backed by the World Economic Forum — is building around the world, including in Australia.
But, as yet, there have been few public pronouncements about plans to implement social credit systems linked to digital ID systems.
Perhaps that’s because those in power know there will be pushback.
However, there are some outliers in the West who either have implemented or are implementing social credit systems in their countries right now.
Recently, the Italian state of Bolongna announced its own plans of implementing a social credit system to reward ‘good’ behaviour, to the protest and concerns of many.
In Germany, a similar system is already emerging nationwide.
In the UK, such a system may have already been implemented.
And in Australia, a social credit system is undeniably in the offing in the Dan Andrews’ Socialist Republic of Victoria, with recent explosive reports confirming that a taxpayer-funded unit had been set up to monitor various aspects of the lives of Victorian citizens, including social media posts and credit card purchases along with a range of other data purchased from private companies.
A social credit system is a critical juncture that threatens one of the foundations of Western civilisation itself.
History is in the making, but not on the path of progress unless, we — the good citizens — choose to exercise our rights and act fast.
You may think that matters such as the implementation of a social credit system are insurmountable, but they’re not.

Here’s six of the best reads I’ve come across this week:
The Bildebergers met in Washington, DC this past week. What did they discuss? We don’t know… it’s a secret meeting of the global “elite”. Where was the media scrutiny on this? Summit News’ Paul Joseph Watson discusses.
The Daily Sceptic asks what’s behind the 5,000 non-COVID deaths in the UK in the past five weeks.
The Expose reports that government data show the culprit is the COVID shot.
This follows hot on the heels of former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson pointing out similar death anomalies in Australia in his Unreported Truths Substack blog.
Watts Up With That notes that New Zealand is introducing what will essentially be a meat tax, levying the farts and burps of livestock under the guise that doing so will deal with “climate change”.
In his Not Zero Substack blog, Senator Matthew Canavan has reflected on the Liberal National Coalition’s election loss and rightly concluded that the two parties — which are supposed to champion individual liberty — can not and should not sell socialism:
George Christensen is a former Australian politician, a Christian, freedom lover, conservative, blogger, podcaster, journalist and theologian. He has been feted by the Epoch Times as a “champion of human rights” and his writings have been praised by Infowars’ Alex Jones as “excellent and informative”.
George believes Nation First will be an essential part of the ongoing fight for freedom:
“The time is now for every proud patriot to step to the fore and fight for our freedom, sovereignty and way of life. Information is a key tool in any battle and the Nation First newsletter will be a valuable tool in the battle for the future of the West.”
— George Christensen.

George,
The Federal government is starting to get Australians used to Social Credit. The introduction from July 1st for all unemployed people are to earn points for being active looking for full employment. Points will be added for attaining certain levels and points deducted if you do not reach the allocated number of points. Not enough points at the end of the month means welfare payments will stop.
Hi George. Can't seem to open German site without having to agree to cookies. Very ironic when we are talking about digital social credit scores - where they track you, just like cookies do !!!!
