Welcome to the New World order

I hope you've all read and digested your copies of China daily which were being handed out at the tube stations this morning.

We love China now.

Truly terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is how no one has spoken out. Like lambs to the abattoir.

I don't see the fear, the long term situation is still that a growing middle class will make an overt dictatorship hard to keep in power, they'll have to be more subtle like our oligarchy

War though is coming in the South China Sea but not necessarily with America, there's huge oil reserves around those islands so war is inevitable

Coming soon - Citizen Scores

1.3 billion Chinese citizens’ national ID cards are connected to this digital caste system, scoring them on their behavior and activities friends in your social graph, so watch what you put on Facebook as they could stand a chance of being the Algorithms that could handle such in the US. Oh yes and there’s a Crap App in China called “Sesame Credit” where you can view “your worth”. The scores range from 350 to 900 and wow if your score is above $600, well guess what, you can get a loan for around $800.00 or so. At 700 you can get a fast track permit to visit Singapore. High scores of course are required for better jobs, so if you friend Sally or Joe puts some awful imagestuff about you out there forget the job, you’re discriminated against. ...

What the future holds, IMHO, once there are no meaningful jobs to be had for love or money - An unholy hybrid of credit scoring and Facebook likes.

After all, society must have some way of judging relative merit, to decide who gets the nice houses and travel permits and reproduction permits etc.

total bolks. There will never be a war over oil again.

please pay attention, oil prices have plummeted, almost every country is sitting on vast shale reserves.

All that cr@p about 'peak oil' was just another greenie scare story

In terms of indoctrination, it's probably no worse than Metro which seems to parrot the pc/establishment line on everything & is freely available practically everywhere.
