Private companies that harvest unimaginable amounts of data from the Internet, sell that data to governments who in turn use it to spy on citizens. External data is not enough, however, so now the quest is for psychographic data about your state-of-mind and propensity for "wrong think". The corral gates are closing at an alarming rate, making escape increasingly difficult.
Gates is the narcissistic poster child of Technocracy, devoid of common sense and having no capacity for compassion for fellow humans. Regarding "Net-Zero" CO2 goals, he says "we need a plan to speed the process up" and millions of homes going dark and cold this winter will serve that purpose.
The head of Blackrock, Larry Fink, is a member of the Trilateral Commission and totally dedicated to the Great Reset, Carbon Zero and, Technocracy. Investors are realizing that Blackrock's policy is not to maximize shareholder value, but to use ESG to force compliance with the Technocrat agenda. Three cheers for Missouri for yanking their pension funds.
