From Mark Crispin Miller’s Substack:
While we’re all over-focused on “Ukraine,” our overlords are moving quietly, and swiftly, to take ALL cash away, in favor of a global social credit system. We can’t let them get away with it.
While they have us freaking out about “Ukraine,” our overlords are moving swiftly to rendition all of us into the global cyber-gulag of a social credit system, enabled by a digital currency doled out (or not) by the central banking system.
This report, from December, 2021, “assess[es] market opportunities for infrastructure support of the social credit market”—i.e., how to make a lot money helping to set up that cyber-prison. Unless you’re reading it for “market opportunities,” you’re likely to be chilled by its dystopian implications.
One way to start fighting this development is to go back to using cash instead of cards as much as possible—starting with #CashFriday, as urged by Catherine Austin Fitts. This means that, every Friday, we use only cash to buy what we may need: https://home.solari.com/cash-friday/.
Think about what this development portends: No cash will mean no autonomy, as every purchase that you’ll want to make must be approved on high—approval that will be contingent on your social credit score.
She’s absolutely right about what’s happening: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ca55xTwlr6H/?utm_medium=copy_link
Here’s a summary of the report on “market opportunities” in setting up the “infrastructure” for the new panopticon. (The whole document costs $2,500 for single readers.)

This is the only report of its type to assess market opportunities for infrastructure support of the social credit market. The report evaluates market drivers, use cases, and consequential impacts/implications (anticipated and likely unanticipated) for social credit market implementation and operation.
The report also evaluates some of the leading companies that are anticipated to drive social credit market evolution. This report includes detailed quantitative analysis driven by market needs with forecasting for all major infrastructure elements from 2021 to 2026.
Select Report Findings:
The COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated substantial interest in citizen monitoring solutions
Infrastructure to support social credit systems represents a $16.1B global opportunity by 2026
Cameras and other optical equipment for social credit systems will reach $723M globally by 2026
Advanced computing will be used in conjunction with AI to provide nearly flawless identification and tracking
Various forms of biometrics will be used for identity verification as well as verifying the presence/location of people
Starting as tangential to public safety and homeland security, the social credit market becomes mainstream by2026
Social credit systems represent the ability to identify (mostly people but also some “things”) and track activities for purposes of grading behaviors and applying “social credit” scoring. A given grading/scoring methodology depends largely on social credit system objectives and metrics.
However, most systems will have socially acceptable behaviour at their core. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity as a combination of government, companies, and society as a whole must determine “good”, “bad”, and “marginal” behavior within the social credit market.
