A key driver of smart city transformation is the nationwide network of Councils of Governments (COGs) that practice regionalization of smart city technologies. COGS also include Metropolitan Policy Organizations (MPOs). These unconstitutional bodies, all nonprofit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), have hoodwinked the nation's cities and counties into adopting a plethora of smart city programs.
In hindsight, we now know that lockdowns and the resulting "travel passports" for the vaccinated had nothing to do with science or health: rather, it was a dystopian power grab to flip the world into scientific dictatorship, aka Technocracy. There is no "freedom to travel" if it is only for those who are willing to take mRNA gene therapy shots. Apartheid? Discrimination? It's still just getting started.
On one hand, there is the bluster and bravado of global warming zealots. On the other hand, there is reality that falls way short of their imaginations and propaganda. This is true throughout the United Nations, World Economic Forum and all other greenwashing organizations. The hubris left over from these pipe dreams leaves the rest of the world in dire straits.
