I have to admit, I’m really worried about Brazil and South America in general. If there was any place that I thought might have survived the WEF efforts to digitize, I certainly would have believed it would have been third-world nations. That just simply isn’t the case.
I’ve been participating in South American relations now for a while, and it is really worrisome the efforts that are taking place. They are still in its infancy, for the most part, but growing very quickly and very efficiently.
In that past, I had been able to make purchases, log on to websites, create accounts, and the such like. Then one day, quite suddenly, around the CoVid situations, I was suddenly required to need a country ID number/card. There was simply no way around it, it was an absolute requirement. Cell phone service that I already had could no longer be paid for until I was able to obtain this form of identification.
A little slowly, they started expanding to allow for passport numbers, but not right away. Most countries now are using their own form of exclusive digital payment methods for just about everything. Brasil uses something called Pix, and Uruguay uses something called Abitab. Both countries use a government control banking method, I believe it is called BanRed, in which nearly all ATM transactions must be approved through, and with severe limitations. Usually around $200 USD per day.
I’ve come to realize that even in third world countries, they digitization methods are being concreted even faster than in the USA and other locations to where it is actually impossible right now for me to even order a pizza, online or through an app, without these methods. And they don’t take VISA/MC in many of these payment methods anymore.
Yeah… I’m worried.

The good news is that some states have pretty good legal protection for using gold as money. Hopefully I’ll be in one of them when Robot Santa takes over our economy.
What Harry said … The next step is The Number of the Beast. Pretty simple once you have everyone on the same universal system with an individual number for every single person — To transition to an implanted chip like my dog has. The technology is here, now it’s just a matter of getting people to accept it, or forcing them to by starving them if they don’t.
All in the name of ‘democratization’.
Biometrics are at the point of being able to identify us no matter what. No chip or phone required. Even with your face off camera, software exists to take your “bone print” by watching video of you and using your pivot points to estimate the lengths of your bones relative to one another.
I’m aware of that. That’s not likely to be something that is used to identify you for purposes of buying and selling though. It doesn’t work if you’re standing still and it doesn’t work for identification if you’re dead and not moving, etc.
There are other biometric systems that don’t require movement to work but any such biometric system requires a lot of computational power. Because in any broadly applied biometric scheme the entire database of registered subjects (people) has to have the capacity to be searched rapidly to be useful. There are shortcuts* to that search but it still requires significant processing power when applied to the general population in real time to every person.
Microchipping people “for their convenience and democratization” is a much simpler system that has all the advantages of biometrics and more. It’s cheaper by far for one thing.
Of course a chip can be forged, hacked or rewritten but with modern encryption that is not an easy thing to do if it can be done at all.
Even so, when that is suspected to be the case then more processing intensive measures, like biometrics, would be brought to bear. By that time you’d be under arrest and in a holding facility so time is not important to the entity that has captured you. Just like a fingerprint database search, they can wait as long as they want for the results to come back.
The entity controlling all this can force compliance simply by denying anyone the ability to buy or sell until they are chipped and their chip is cryptically encoded and verified at point of sale. That’s a simple matter to accomplish in real time. My vet takes about 30 seconds to read and verify the chip lodged between my dog’s shoulders.
If for some reason they start chipping people then that 30 seconds will seem like an eternity to a person who knows they’re using a faked chip.
(* I.E. first you search the database leaf pages for the local area, say town or county index blocks, then you expand the search outward up to the global level until you get a hit.)
Getting very close to The Revelations 13:14-17, where everyone has to have “the number of the Beast” to buy or sell anything.
If it makes you feel aany better, it seems Australia’s finance minister is on board with delivering that nation, entire, to the reset.
Wait, now I’m not really sure how that helps…
I was recently in the Falkland Islands. Apparently, their only internet access to the internet is via Satellite, which is extremely expensive. Mostly due to a rather nasty dispute with Argentina, which is the only landmass as being even considered viable to make a connection. If it is any comfort, due to the lack of ability of internet, they are still pretty cash based for the most part.
As an added point… here is an excerpt from the Brazil website for Pix…
“Pix was created by the Central Bank (BC) to democratize the access of the entire Brazilian population to digital means of payment, encouraging the electronicization of payments and, thus, leveraging efficiency in the retail payment market.” (Translated from Portuguese)
