“Worldcoin will expand its operations to sign up more users globally and aims to allow other organizations to use its iris-scanning and identity-verifying technology, a senior manager for the company behind the project told Reuters.
Co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Worldcoin launched last week, requiring users to give their iris scans in exchange for a digital ID and, in some countries, free cryptocurrency as part of plans to create an ‘identity and financial network.’
In sign-up sites around the world, people have been getting their faces scanned by a shiny spherical ‘orb,’ shrugging off privacy campaigners' concerns that the biometric data could be misused. Worldcoin says 2.2 million have signed up, mostly during a trial period over the last two years. Data watchdogs in Britain, France, and Germany have said they are looking into the project.
‘We are on this mission of building the biggest financial and identity community that we can,’ said Ricardo Macieira, general manager for Europe at Tools For Humanity, the San Francisco and Berlin-based company behind the project.
Rainer Rehak, a researcher on AI and society at the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin said that Worldcoin's use of technology is ‘irresponsible’ and that it is not clear what problems it would solve.
‘The bottom line is it's a big project to create a new consumer base for Web3 and crypto products,’ he said. Web3 is a term for a hypothetical next phase of the internet, based around blockchain, in which users' assets and data exist as tradable crypto assets.
THINGS TO PONDER:
We could bearly get through a full week of WorldCoin before the quiet part was said out loud.
Government agencies and companies are going to have access to your biometric information.
Here’s what we shared in last Monday’s edition of Ripped From The Headlines:
This is what’s been happening behind the scenes, which represents the steps towards the loss of basic freedoms… economic, social, and personal…
“For your safety.”
It sounds great until you realize the real goal… which is something like a universal basic income, because “AI is going to do everything, and it will combat inequality…”
While someone like Sam Altman controls the process and the cryptocurrency because he will do the government’s bidding.
We encourage you to read our “When Liars Conspire” feature, to better understand how your government is weaponized against you.

“A planned announcement on the expansion of BRICS at a forthcoming summit in South Africa will mark a significant change in the global order, the nation’s ambassador to the five-nation bloc said, even as some of its members push back against new admissions.
Heads of state from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa will make a pronouncement on the enlargement of the group when they meet Aug. 22-24, Anil Sooklal said in a lecture at the University of KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday. Twenty-two nations have asked formally to become full-time members of the group, and more than 20 others have submitted informal requests.
China favors a rapid expansion of the bloc, which will require consensus among its members. But it has encountered opposition from India, which wants strict rules on how and when other nations could move closer to the group without formally enlarging it, and from Brazil, which is wary of alienating the US and European Union, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
‘BRICS has been a catalyst for a tectonic change you will see in the global geopolitical architecture starting with the summit,’ Sooklal said. While he emphasized that the bloc doesn’t see itself as a counterweight to any other organization, he said its expansion was stoking anxiety and opposition among nations in ‘privileged positions.’”
THINGS TO PONDER:
People that aren’t taking BRICS seriously are in for a rude awakening…
While many in the US still don’t see any real threat (because of “dollar dominance”) many nations around the world are preparing for life post US dominance.
Read that again, slowly. Then, look at this headline:
Notice the “erosion of governance” part?
That’s a nice way of saying we have no clue what we’re doing…
Still think there’s no threat?

“Companies rated highly on widely accepted environmental, social, and governance metrics pollute just as much as lowly rated companies, research has found.
This perverse lack of correlation holds even if companies’ carbon intensity — their carbon emissions per unit of revenue or market capitalization — is compared purely to their environmental rating, according to Scientific Beta, an index provider and consultancy.
‘ESG ratings have little to no relation to carbon intensity, even when considering only the environmental pillar of these ratings,’ said Felix Goltz, research director at Scientific Beta.
‘It doesn’t seem that people have actually looked at [the correlations]. They are surprisingly low.’ ‘The carbon intensity reduction of green [ie low carbon intensity] portfolios can be effectively canceled out by adding ESG objectives.’
The findings come amid strong demand for ESG investment, with ‘sustainable’ funds globally attracting net inflows of $49bn in the first half of this year, according to Morningstar, while the rest of the fund industry saw outflows of $9bn.
THINGS TO PONDER:
The grift is real…
So is the ability for humans to fall for anything. This is absolute insanity.

What Does This Mean?
Erasing your status as a normal person with a family who is trying to do better, and turning you into a slave/serf class is being flaunted in your face by people that we, as a people, allow to take on and remain in positions of power.
Soon, it will go from flaunting to actively doing… whether you agree/consent or not.

Have you ever seen a time quite like this?
Ok good, you’re paying attention.
That’s the point.
If you’re not paying attention and trapped in the hustle and bustle of a busy world (with a ton of useless stuff, by the way), this stuff will come up on you like a thief in the night.
Take stock of one thing, right now, that you need to shore up… is it food? Medical supplies? Water?
Focus on taking care of that as best you can by the end of this week.
Then, take care of the next thing.
GET MOVING ASAP.
