Earlier this month, hundreds of thousands of Australians were told they could now access their brand-new digital coronavirus-vaccination-certificates.
The certificates have a fancy coat of arms hologram on them, and include the person’s name, date of birth, and a green tick declaring the bearer of the certificate has been-vaccinated.
Government Services Minister, Linda Reynolds, said the new record would make it simple and easy for people to now show their vaccination-status when asked.
Don’t be fooled. This seemingly slow and piecemeal approach, hides a carefully laid out strategy to advance the eventual roll-out of a fully-fledged “vaccine-passport” system in Australia, as quietly and unobtrusively as possible.
Despite the best efforts of the Government’s team of behavioral ‘nudge’ strategists, however, there can be no mistaking where things are heading in Australia.
According to US critic, Naomi Wolf, the passport issue is the “hill we all need to die on”. Last month, she told Fox News: “I am not overstating this. I can’t say it forcefully enough. This is literally the end of human liberty in the West if this plan unfolds as planned. Vaccine passports sound like a fine thing, if you don’t understand what these platforms can do …”
“It’s not about the vaccine. It’s not about the virus. It’s about your data. And once this rolls out you will no longer have a choice about being part of the system”.
“What people have to understand is that any other functionality can be loaded onto that platform with no problem at all. What that means is that it can be merged with your Paypal account, your digital currency, tax records …Microsoft is already talking about merging it with payment plans.”
“Your networks can be sucked up. It geo-locates you wherever you go. Your credit history can be included. All of your medical history is included.”
In other words, it provides the perfect platform for a Chinese-style ‘social credit’ system in Australia, and you better believe that’s what the Liberal National government will use it for.
The heavy-handed propaganda we are seeing in the media that links these “passports” with a return to “freedom” has – like Orwell’s inverted “freedom is slavery” – all the twisted logic of doublespeak.
