As most of you probably know, Russia\u2019s capital city has been fighting a covert shadow war against Unipolar jaywalking, which is one of the top three threats facing BRICS and the Global South. Probably you read about it on ZeroHedge.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to report that the Multipolar Pedestrian Order has made significant inroads with the assistance of\u00a0facial recognition cameras<\/a>\u00a0programmed to publicly shame Muscovites who rudely cross the street without permission:<\/p>\n

The prototype \u201ctracks a pedestrian\u2019s movement \u2026 If a pedestrian violates traffic rules, his image, without identification, is transmitted to an electronic information display board located nearby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Safe. Effective. Convenient. But there\u2019s just one problem: Why do some Russians think they can go outside without being immediately identified by an algorithm?<\/p>\n

[The head of Moscow\u2019s State Traffic Inspectorate, Alexander Bykov,] noted that in order to create and ensure the effective use of an automated system for bringing pedestrians to administrative responsibility, it is necessary to have biometric data of all citizens. In this case, the submission of biometric data should become an obligation of citizens.<\/p>\n

If this anti-globalist traffic light is only supposed to gently wag a finger at \u201cunidentified\u201d rule-breakers\u2014as opposed to identifying them and deducting\u00a05,000 GrefCoins from their SberWallet<\/a>\u2014why would you need the biometric data of all citizens<\/em>? Curious minds want to know.<\/p>\n

(Coincidentally, the collection of all biometric data in Russia\u2014which is being stored and used\u00a0by a commercial enterprise<\/a>\u2014is underway.)<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s look at the big picture: These exciting developments will help Moscow achieve Smart City status, a metamorphosis slated for completion by 2030. They picked that year at random; it has no significance.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the Moscow 2030\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0for those who might be interested:<\/p>\n

Moscow\u2019s\u00a0101-page blueprint<\/a>\u00a0for becoming Smart includes the widespread use of video surveillance cameras to make transportation more safe and convenient. It also\u00a0calls<\/a>\u00a0for \u201cwearable and implanted medical digital devices\u201d that can be used to calculate health insurance payments. As an added bonus, the document advocates for \u201cgenetic passports\u201d that will help \u201coptimize protocols for traditional therapy and in the future gene therapy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Very fancy but to what end? What is the\u00a0purpose<\/em>\u00a0of the Moscow 2030 plan? The listed goals of the project are as follows:<\/p>\n
