While this Kuwaiti attempt to control all finances is almost certainly going to end in literal flames, there can be no doubt that Clown World would love to install the Kuwaiti system in every country it rules:
Kuwait has forced over one million citizens to hand over their biometric data in one of the most extreme pushes for digital ID. Kuwait introduced a national electronic ID (eID) that they say will assist with identification verification, digital signatures, E-government access, and the secure exchange of data. The deadline to file for this mandatory program was September 30 and the consequences for failing to comply were swift.
On October 1, the Ministry of Interior announced that those who failed to submit their data would be prohibited from all electronic services such as withdrawals, transfers, and account transfers. One cannot even withdraw cash. Around 35,000 people have been blocked out of their bank accounts and are unable to even view the balance. A few weeks later, those in noncompliance has their electronic bank cards deactivated. Visa, MasterCard, and K-Net all abided by the government’s rule.
Beginning on November 1, The Kuwait Banking Association stated it will implement a “complete block” on all accounts, which means one cannot even withdraw funds if they go to the bank in person. Expatriates have until December 31 to submit their biometric registration.
Notice that there isn’t one word of protest out of all the organizations that profess to be dedicated to human liberty, democracy, and the will of the people. This is far more dictatorial and far more dystopian than anything that any previous government has ever done to its own people. At this point, trusting the banking system to simply fulfill what used to be its primary function requires the complete absence of all brain activity.
Out of order will come chaos.
