The multipolar world will be the most convenient world in world history

Riley Waggaman

d ever, amen.

As expected, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was the hottest anti-globalist multipolar traditional RETVRN values conference of 2024—possibly of all-time.

The unipolar world suffered non-stop humiliations during this mind-blowing freedom event. For example, Moscow Region governor Andrei Vorobyov made an incredible BRICS announcement during a titillating panel discussion about the joys of biometrics, causing the dollar to lose 50% of its value against the gold-backed ruble:

Biometrics is a tool that gives people better quality and more convenience in certain procedures, keeping them neat and tidy. You don’t need any papers or passports—that will all be in the past. Resisting it, in my opinion, is absurd.

The governor of Russia’s second-most-populated region, explaining the inevitable convenience of biometrics—which will replace archaic “papers” and “passports”.

Nothing is being hidden. They’re speaking very frankly. It’s all out there, in the open.

There is even a helpful “recap” of the panel discussion published by SPIEF. Behold the “highlights”:

source: https://forumspb.com/

“I am for biometrics … Everything I do is based on biometrics, everything is based on fingerprints, because I’m took lazy to carry cards with me and it’s much more convenient to just [login/pass/go] through my face,” pontificated an expert panelist.

Was the BRICS Multipolar Happy Order incapable of finding a single panelist who had reservations about turning eyeballs into IDs? Igor Ashmanov, a member of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, had to shout his objections from the bleachers because they wouldn’t let his dirty anti-biometric ideas onstage:

source: Telegram

Friend of the blog Simplicius posted a Twitter-summary of Igor’s very rude unipolar objections to biometrics:

This guy sounds like Edward Slavsquat. Great minds think alike.

“Yes, but Russians like biometrics, the most convenient of all forms for identification, which will replace ‘papers’ and ‘passports’,” you might be saying to yourself for some weird and tragic reason.

Take the wheel, nakanune.ru:

People in Russia are narrow-minded and have not yet realized how beautiful, convenient and progressive biometrics are. Therefore, whether they want it or not, the authorities will introduce it wherever possible. Approximately the same reasoning (without these words, but with this meaning) was heard at SPIEF in the section devoted to biometrics. Nakanune.RU provides characteristic statements about the attitude of business towards people.

At first, the presenter of the Russia 24 channel, Maria Kudryavtseva, advertised biometrics, showing how she enters the Unified Biometric System using her face and even the greeting “Hello, Maria!” appears there, which she enthusiastically shows to the audience.

At the same time, there was a feeling of a white gentleman showing “digital beads” to the local natives. And the whole “discussion” came down to one thing—intrusive advertising. It is characteristic that the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov, who is a public servant, but showed himself to be a business lobbyist, was also involved in this.

As with artificial intelligence in healthcare , the panel included only proponents of biometrics. Those who might object were simply not invited. Those present were mainly engaged in advertising. Old people do not understand the digital world, but young people were already born with a gadget in their hand, they are very flexible, progressive, digital. They understand how convenient, cool and fast it is. In general, the conversation became very revealing in its vacuity and disregard for the position of citizens.

The first question to the speakers was provocative: is society ready to use biometrics? That is, don’t people want it, does the country need it, not what it will give, not what the risks are—but is society ready, as if the issue has been fundamentally resolved. Which is obscene. Let us recall that according to a 2023 survey , a third of Russians have a positive attitude towards taking biometrics, but almost half are opposed—48%.

[…]

Vorobiev spoke as if he had gone back in time a hundred years ago and was telling backward people of the past about the wonders of the technology of the future. Here are just a few quotes.

“You don’t need a paper or a passport, all this will be a thing of the past, it’s absurd to resist it. We all already use biometrics, including children at school… It’s convenient, you don’t need to twist anything, you just look and that’s it,” said Vorobiev. […]

It is characteristic that one of the main experts in the field of artificial intelligence in the country, a member of the Human Rights Council, Igor Ashmanov, was not invited to the section, who was forced to make remarks from the audience several times, and the section participants politely drew attention to the fact that someone might disagree. So, when Lebedev said that all people are for biometrics, he objected that this was not true. And when they started talking about different points of view, he very briefly but accurately described what was happening.

“You haven’t invited anyone to the presidium, you’re all blowing the same tune! As a member of the Presidential Human Rights Council, I hear completely obscene advertising, and nothing more!” said Ashmanov.

What’s wrong with this freak?

This proves unipolarity infinitely less than it proves humanity has gone mad and reached the end of its road; and now wishes to become another species altogether. Never mind the 48% who do not go along with biometric proposals – let their nation(s) be flooded with immigrants and suddenly biometrics will become manna from heaven.

It was the ward doctor, an extremely masculine person who was only remotely recognizable as a woman, who gave me the decisive life tip today: I was still unable to use my male energies constructively for my biographical well-being because of my absent father. I resisted this statement for a long time, but I agree with it. I believe that this doesn’t just apply to me, but to many of us.

His father? His father’s absence is guilty of his son’s female energies??
As I am a masculine man and a father, a responsible father, I would like to hear a little more of this theme just a little closer.

As I have heard SO MUCH bs since I was 18 years about all the things that I as man and father am guilty of, and what I have not done, of what I should have done, and not did, which was my fault and where and how I did everything wrong.

Scratching in the surface of all these accusations, most of them were from welfare state Liberals, women and spoiled childs, who wanted more from the salary I got every month, because I was the only one who took a useful education and worked!

“My father’s absence, muahh muahh muahh”. Your father’s feelings are hurt too, my boy!

It’s time for a fairer world.
This needs to stop.

Solution:
Everyone on earth must hand in their assets, capital, money, etc., then the collective assets are divided by 8 billion and every person on earth receives that share. This is the only way to achieve a reset and make the unimaginable danger recede. Too bad about my savings, but if it’s the only way, then so be it. On the condition that the redistribution is 100 percent clear. This is under penalty of the highest penalty for dishonesty. So every person on earth participates in this. I’m afraid this is the only method that works. Too much money gives too much power and too much money is never earned fairly. Ergo, this has to be done.

Let’s call it the Jubilee Year of Christ.

The human who want to avoid fate? We will think about them.

Have you done the maths on this?

First, the greatest value are the tangible assets – land, minerals, oil, gold, water etc. How are planning on dividing those? What about future discoveries and future cash flows generated by extraction of minerals. Land will have different values based on where it is – accessibility, fertility, mineral rights.

What about the debt in the fiat financial system? How are you going to offset that?

You are proposing a debt jubilee for those who overborrowed and wish to penalise those who lived sensibly. That will repeat all over again, as it will encourage people to spend, spend, spend again while maxing out their borrowing ability.

Do you propose to abolish usury? Marx and Co. never pointed fingers in the direction of the international bankers, of course not, the Bolsheviks and the Chinese equivalents were funded by those same bankers.

On another hand, u got a point (somewhat).

That would even out playing field. No more “super rich” elites. Just a few rich and comfortable but not powerful enough then, to corrupt to their liking.

Convenience at one’s fingertips is moving fast into one’s fingers and throughout the colonized body of humanity 2.0. Moo…I  nanotech. Can’t wait for the effects from this further electro-toxicity to start surfacing from fingertips or wherever one’s bodily organs, particularly the heart, signal more final solutions for human livestock. 

Maybe such macabre manifestation is one way what is hidden will be revealed, though psywar probably has gamed out all the ways to cover up the culling then as well as now. But as much as global crime bosses may openly announce their masterplans, they conceal them under whitewashed, or wokewashed PR like that of the WEF’s Great Reset. 

Commercial advertising gets us to eat ze bugz as delicacies with similar seduction as biometrics leading us to build our own prison for convenience. How many fall for any of this I’m not going to guess, but it could correlate to how many minds have been colonized by the media matrix, where magical thinking can always pull more rabbit holes out of the hat.  

Myself, I’ve always been partial to the foxes-guarding-the-henhouse routine. Rolling out masterplans means we’re always warned of potential dangers of the inevitable progress of the free market, from which we’ll be protected by regulatory agencies of state partners in corporate crime. 

We need AI to combat disinformation. But AI creates disinformation like split-second deep fakes. Well then we have no choice but to manage that problem with another solution of the deep state’s bottomless bureaucratic mazes that still make Kafka prophetic.

Maybe we’re being fooled simply by having to be preoccupied with masterplans monstrous in the extreme but doing nothing much in our own ways to protect us from the real dangers coming at us and already upon if not in us. As if our bodies and the real world already are far more colonized than we realize.

Within a very short space of time, I noticed various details in this institution that nobody there was even interested in. 1. Almost all the inmates were of German origin. 2. there were indeed serious and obvious lunatics there, and on the other hand there were those who only thought they were (self-admission). 3. the latter quickly became friends with me, while the truly crazy ones regarded me as an enemy from the very beginning because my apparently all too conspicuous health “disturbed” them. I instinctively avoided them. 4. The incompetence of the “responsible” doctors was hair-raising. These people have the mental horizon of a trivial book. 5. there is no healing there, only custody and sedation through medication. 6. It is not without a certain irony that there are people posing as guards and inspectors who in reality have no interest in the inmates, but only savor their sadistic power over (apparently) helpless individuals. Out of about 10 nurses, only one was mentally normal, whose concerns could be described as altruistic.

My Polish neighbor, who says he hates all Germans, prepared a trap that had little of the intended effect. On Saturday he informed the police in the middle of the night that I had “threatened to murder him”. The police kicked down my door and took me away (about five men in uniform).

A police psychiatrist, who talked unbelievable nonsense and apparently has a massive roof damage, ordered me to stay in a closed psychiatric ward for at least two weeks! https://www.dict.cc/?s=Dachschaden

This is not a joke I am trying to amuse you with. I am even supposed to have made fun of this psychiatrist because he claimed that “my fingerprints were found on a melon skin that I threw on this neighbor’s balcony”!

Can you imagine that? Arab gang rapists roam free, while I am said to have thrown melon rinds onto the balcony of a Polish man who caused my immediate eviction through sheer intrigue.

Then I was sent to the closed asylum. There were people running around who either committed themselves because they feared they would otherwise commit suicide, or people who talked to themselves all day long because they had an unmistakable mental disorder.

I felt like Gustl Mollat. It was Kafkaesque. On the second day I was already told that I should be transferred to the “open” institution, where I could go to my home during the day and only have to come back for overnight stays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustl_Mollath

On the third day (yesterday), several doctors decided that I was not a danger to this neighbor or myself and that I should be released today. You wouldn’t believe what a nightmare that was.

The police just did their job. The doctors did their job. You were released and will never try to kill anybody with melon skin again.
Whatever it was, your Polish friend felt threatened and the Police reacted. The Polish have done some things which I think make them a bit schizophrenics.
They betrayed EU and befriended the US. They back everything anti-Russian, and I think their only idols will forever be UK/US.
If you despise your neighbours and only are in love with some country 5000 km away you maybe live in a wrong country.

They hardly need to bother, with everyone from grandma to young Sammy junior desiring to go no where without the tracking device.

These devices have *two* processors; one operates in a way comparable to the CPU on your PC the other is a total black box that communicates and takes instructions from the cell tower and for sure passes on instructions to the quasi CPU.

Ever wondered why you switched off the GPS or data and yet now find it’s on? Every seen your (supposedly) switched off phone boot itself up? Do you actually trust the user facing controls to do what you think they will do?

Why can you not remove the battery?

I suppose though there’s money to be made by the cool corporation that takes us down the road of “you don’t need a phone anymore”.

Back in the Good Old Days when I lived in England I never carried any form of ID. Nobody did — even while driving you didn’t need it because if the police wanted to see your documentation (license, insurance, MoT) then you had 10 days to produce it at any police station. This was the illusion of true freedom — no ‘papers’ needed, no documentation needed to show to the government on demand who you were and where you belonged.

Except that with hindsight it dawned on me that the reason we didn’t have to carry papers was that we didn’t need them. The authorities we came into contact with either knew who we were or could find out very quickly. Times changed, of course, probably as a result of being in the EC/EU, so now the UK’s just another country (except that vehicle documentation has gone away — no need for physical documents when the system has instant access to the information).
