    Toby still holds the world view that countries are independent and you elect governments who act in the interest of the people who vote for them.

    It’s quite cute when you think of it

    If you aren't got nothing to hide you don't mind the government knowing your business.

    Cyberattack? No.

    Physical attacks against infrastructure? Potentially, but it wouldn't cripple everything, it'd just slow things down for a bit.

    How are the 2 things linked? Makes no sense. A cyberattack at that scale has nothing to do with digital ID.

    I think there will be attacks on infrastructure such as energy networks .

    Also, a cyber attack on SWIFT Service Bureau (effectively stopping interbank payments, FX transactions and trade swaps.

    10 years ago that would have caused issues, nowadays infrastructure is designed with resiliency/failovers and multi-site architecture, it would cause minor disruptions.

    Energy infra could be an issue, but the IT involved is minimal and should be easy to restore.

    None of that is linked to digital IDs, and it'll be state driven. Russia/China/NK are already attacking us daily, there's not much more they can do. It's not Schwaab pretending we're at risk of attack and we're definitely not going to take ourselves offline.

    Thanks for info on infrastructure design. Interesting stuff.

    Yes , there are lots of attacks daily.

    My company was recently effected by the MOVE IT attack .

    Didn’t say he is pretending . He’s predicting a ‘cyber pandemic’ is something that will lock us down . Much like how they predicted a ‘disease pandemic’ that locked us down.

    Will be interesting to see if their prediction comes true , again.

    Digital ID and Digital currency is coming . As you say , state driven but there will be a driver behind that be it a cyber attack , another ‘pandemic’, terror attack or ‘uncontrolled mass immigration’ etc

    A ‘thing’ will happen and a ‘solution’ will be suggested . People will nod .

    If there's no electricity then no ATM machines, take out Internet, no Internet bank .
    Tesco can't take cash purchases petrol stations, subway trains airports etc etc.

    When the wi fi returns & the bank accounts have been whiped people will be demanding their savings are converted to CBDC good boy tokens .

    I've been to a massive Sainsbury's & their system was down & I couldn't even buy a pint of milk because they couldn't scan it .
    I just left a quid on the counter & left with it

    Take injections & wear mask because government told you = High IQ free thinker

    The real high IQ free thinkers question conspiracy theorists that didn't submit to the Government & their propoganda

    That's some 1 D chess seething & coping
