 Man North Korean boogey man is honestly so tired. Yeah I've said before their inability to fully commit to a plan is done to their detriment. They can't/won't/aren't capable of flushing their dastardly deeds out, hence the many obvious holes and inconsistencies. Which I suppose is a good thing for us. 
 but at the same time it makes them more dangerous and willing to try anything to cover their bullshit ... i dont think it would take very much right now to enact total chaos to bring in this new financial beast system ...idk whats coming or what will happen but something is coming ... and its not good 
 Yeah exactly it's dangerous because they also are under the belief they can get away with anything, seemingly true since there has been no real pushback except for people leaving the system. 

However, they've laid the groundwork in nearly every country to have a CBDC which will/is connected to some opaque rule set they can shut off at will. At the same time they're doing the digital ID thing.

I do believe they will attempt to implement it, it will fail, and people will have to live with navigating around the ruins of the attempted control system. Someone pointed out that previous control system (vaxpass) didn't get implemented because people were too dumb to download an app. The "tech savvy" younger generations are probably decently close to that point as well. 
 yea  sam altman announced worldcoin+digitID not long ago maybe like a month ... i think they are further along in that particular project that they are leading on ... 
 with both i guess being implemented together ... 
 Yeah my hunch is it'll be simultaneous but seemingly will have to coincide with an outage or breakdown of the current system (cyberpolygon). 
 with all this inflation and squeezing everyone till the last drop where they exhausted all their resources and supplies then event X happens ... everything is "down" ... then pain .... extended periods of pain .... and once people have hurt and want it to stop they will come in with their way of "helping" which would b an ID issued on this new system ... people will have to choose comfort or death i think 
 Yeah exactly, they've studied breaking points and hardships endured by people. They hollowed out peoples faith so much that nothing but worldly comfort means anything to them. I imagine the lives of the Russian Catacomb Saints enduring decades in prison camps, death, etc. for not bending to the government or giving even one small capitulation in their beliefs. What would happen now in the west? 
 yes ... the gulag archipelago is such a grim and painful tale of what happened ... most people have never even heard of it much less have the patience to read it ( audiobook is like 12 hours long) but its well worth it ... gives valuable insight into the minds of our enemies 
 Where is this book? I know I'm retarded but I'm finding a bunch of different versions. 
 its in 3 volumes ... if u are looking for the actual book or this is the pdf version

It's very likely that there are contingency plans in place to ensure that a majority of invertible failures can still be converted into success over a period of time. 

Example: Driver licenses weren't fully implemented in the US until 1954. It took the system several years to achieve full implementation.
