Italy Becomes Latest Nation To Experiment With The Social Credit System From Communist China To Force Behavior Modification On Its Citizens

April 25, 2022 admin News 0

The city of Bologna, Italy, has announced a Social Credit pilot program to reward “virtuous” citizens for recycling, taking public transportation, and curbing energy usage.

It’s a funny thing about Communist China, every one is always talking about the “evils of Communism” on one hand, and on the other promoting and supporting it. Take Disney for example, they have no problem filming a live-action ‘Mulan’ movie less than a mile away from Chinese concentration camps that hold the Uyghur Muslims. Same goes for Nike that uses Chinese slave labor to make their overpriced plastic sneakers. The NBA agrees to stay silent on the atrocities because they makes in revenue from games and merch, and on and on it goes.

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” Revelation 16:12 (KJB)

But one of the nastiest things to come out of China in relationship to end times prophecy, is their draconian Social Credit System that rewards or punishes you based on how “friendly” you are to the regime. You would think that this being a byproduct of Communist China that it would be easy to shoot down and discredit. So why are so many nations, including America, working to implement a social credit system in their respective nations? That dirty old Mark of the Beast is surely coming.

Italy to Pilot Social Credit System for ‘Climate-Friendly’ Behavior

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The program, which has been likened to China’s social credit system, is slated to go into effect in September, 2022, using a “smart citizen wallet” app for cell phones.

“In September, we will start with a pilot project for the city: at the center is the virtuous citizen, the one who, for example, separates waste well or does not waste energy, or uses public transport and does not receive fines, or actively uses the Bologna Welcome Card,” announced Massimo Bugani, councilor for the city’s digital agenda and civic use of data, at a press conference late last month.

“The municipality will assign such citizens a score as part of a reward system with economic benefits to individual users,” Bugani explained.

Citizens will have access to their rating, which can be improved by earning points that they may then “spend” on prizes such as rebates and cultural activities as a reward for their “virtuous behavior.”

Bugani stated that the app was part of a broader initiative by the city of Bologna to engage in digital innovation. “What we call a new ‘water system’ for the city is being built,” he said, adding that in coming years “many services will go digital in Italy; we have an ambitious project here that is built on solid foundations.”

Although Bugani has insisted that participation in the program will be voluntary, he has expressed his confidence that many will enroll.

Critics of the program, such as the Italian tech firm Privacy Network, which specialized in digital privacy, have warned of the legal, ethical, and societal implications of such apps.

“These practices, if poorly developed or used, can lead to serious limitations on, and violations of, citizens’ rights and freedoms, as well as discriminatory practices, which are also achieved through technological means, such as ‘social credit’ systems (or social scoring),” reads a Privacy Network online statement.

Others have noted that social credit apps, “if poorly developed or used, can lead to serious limitations on, and violations of, citizens’ rights and freedoms, as well as discriminatory practices.” Nowhere have the dangers of this practice been more evident than in China, where social credit scores affect citizens’ ability to travel, education, employment, and even welfare support.

China’s Social Credit System

In the past, the Social Credit System existed only in the world of science fiction. In the present, it’s happening in China. In the near future, it might become a reality right here in the West — unless we take a stand against it. Here’s what you need to know about the global Social Credit System.
