Is this an attack on free expression, with arrests for mild posts and investigations for viewing content? Power and control may be the real motives. #DigitalID #SocialMedia #Censorship #UK #Orwellian #FreedomOfSpeech

Ultimately, what you're seeing in other
0:02
countries is moving to digital IDs. This
0:05
is just implemented in Europe and in the
0:08
UK. You're seeing it in a lot of places
0:09
where you're going to have to need that
0:10
to work and vote and travel and
0:13
and it'll be even more of a constriction
0:16
on your ability to express yourself.
0:18
Particularly when you think about the
0:19
UK, which has had more than 12,000
0:23
arrests for very mild social media
0:26
posts.
0:26
Isn't that crazy? I mean, I can't
0:28
believe it. I' I've been watching this
0:29
stuff play out.
0:30
You're you're seeing a a complete total
0:33
attack on one of the most fundamental
0:36
principles of the Western world, which
0:39
is your ability to express yourself and
0:42
your ability to call out that you think
0:44
that the policies that are being
0:46
implemented in your country are
0:47
destructive. That that's people have
0:50
always been able to do that. These
0:51
people are not calling for violence.
0:52
They're not they're being arrested for
0:54
wild things. People are being arrested
0:56
for liking posts. They're being arrest.
0:59
Some people were in investigated for
1:01
viewing posts. 12,000 people arrested by
1:06
the police in the UK, the same place
1:08
that just implemented digital ID. I
1:10
mean, this is an Orwell nightmare coming
1:13
to life right in front of our face. And
1:16
no one's flinching. If you look at
1:18
what's going on like in the UK, what
1:21
what they're what they're learning over
1:23
there is that they are in a tyrannical
1:26
government and it's slowly but surely
1:28
it's got it's got its back. It's got the
1:30
hooks in and it's putting the rear naked
1:31
choke in. It's got them locked up.
1:34
They've got to do something about that.
1:35
Why do you think that's happening?
1:36
Why? Because of what we talked about
1:38
power. Power and control and resources.
1:41
And a very limited amount of people are
1:43
controlling a a huge amount of people.
1:45
This is all the same thing that happens
1:47
with kings and with emperors. It's
1:50
control. You got to limit the people's
1:52
ability to rebel. Limit their ability to
1:56
gather resources. Keep them at each
1:58
other's throats ideologically. Keep them
2:00
fighting over the dumbest possible.
2:02
Meanwhile, closer and closer and closer
2:05
to total control of the population where
2:08
they're even openly stating it. Hillary
2:10
Clinton said in an interview, "If we
2:13
lose if we we can't control social
2:16
media, we lose control."
2:18
Yeah.
2:19
Like, yeah, you're not supposed to have
2:21
control over other human beings. Yeah.
2:23
You're going to lose the thing you're
2:25
not supposed to have. An elected
2:26
official is supposed to be a
2:27
representative for the people. You're
2:29
supposed to be a person who's a public
2:32
servant.
