Hi Matthew, I am deeply suspicious of the 5G killer masts when coordinated with "population control" and the social credit system in China. Please could you comment on these dangers and whether they fit your picture. I guess you aren't defending their social control system?

The UK government are quietly working on plans for a similar credit score system and an 'Online Safety Bill' (currently on hold due to public protests), made to trace and punish opposition on the internet. As if they wanted us to "be disappeared" like protesters in China, as the story goes.

I want to know more about your sources for this statement that Sun Yat-sen "also brought eugenicism to China" as I have never heard of this and have held Sun in high regard. I an also concerned about the China social credit system.

Hi Alanna, thank you for this! On reading further into the book, I couldn't make sense of the notion, so now I have checked the paragraph where Adam Smith, Malthus, Ricardo and Stuart Mill are mentioned in the "Breaking Free.." book, and you ARE entirely right, and I am relieved. It says, Sun "was also no (!) proponent of the liberal theories of...."(these men). In the lamplight I mistook "no" for an "a", which made all the difference. I'll see if it possible to edit my first comment! If not, I will post a correction separately.

Thank you, Matt, for a very clear and detailed picture of the currant state of affairs. It’s weird to me that apparently those in the US gov. could not have anticipated this. No longer will most of the world be dictated to. I wish Trudope and his buddies could also figure that out.

Nothing would benefit the world more than ending Western hegemony over the world, perhaps other than stopping the WEF from stepping into the void and taking global control over everything.

Please do read Alanna's comment below, and also my reply, as I can confirm my mistake and her belief in Sun regarding eugenicism. Sun was NO proponent of Malthus and so he did NOT introduce a population control policy in China.

I am more concerned about whether there is "a need" for the social credit system and wonder if it is meant to be a protection against colour revolutions, e.g. instigated by the Shanghai group (Soros et al).

All of this peaceful cooperation sounds very hopeful. Now let us put some attention to how this will or will not address gross wealth inequality in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. How to curb the land speculation and rent seeking motive? Tolstoy urged land value tax to the Tsar, Sun Yat Sen's Three Principles of the People advocated for a similar approach, and Saudi Arabia's "White Land Tax" implemented some degree of commons rent (land value tax) in order to encourage the development of affordable housing for workers in Riyad. Perhaps there is the possibility of a return of the golden thread of perennial wisdom teachings on land justice?
