Consumption Is Being Standardized
CBDCs and 15-Minute-Cities will turn “consumers” into numbers with a prefix.
“For more enjoyment and greater efficiency, consumption is being standardized” — THX-1138
Programmable CBDCs are more than just the end of cash and the direct tethering of your bank account to a monolithic, blockchain, central-bank control grid. Programmable means the system can determine what you can and cannot purchase—and when.
A simple example is that you’ll walk into your 15-minute city grocery store looking for a Christmas turkey, but when you grab the handle of the refrigerator door that separates you from your 9-lb Butterball—the door won’t open. The fridge camera and store surveillance cams will instantly recognize you. And your Internet-of-everything store will know that you have already exceeded your monthly allowance for Meat & Poultry. The grocery store will be far too efficient to allow you to get all the way to the automated checkout only to discover, then, at the last minute, that your turkey has been denied.
They call us “consumers.” We consume stuff. And consumption, if you haven’t heard, is being standardized to become exponentially more efficient. Imagine all the time you would have wasted had you gone to buy a loaf of bread (for stuffing) plus a can of gravy before reaching the checkout. The new system will streamline travel, measured energy output, and purchasing options.
If district living sounds a hell of a lot like an outdoor prison or concentration camp, it wouldn’t be the first.
Back in 2012, it leaked to the press that the Israeli military was limiting (or precisely monitoring, to “prevent malnutrition,” depending on your point of view) the calorie intake of Gaza’s population during a military blockade from 2007 to mid-2010. Israel and its occupation of Palestine appear to be the gold standard testing ground for population-control experiments and for nanoparticle injections and related passports on behalf of the New World order.
Rosa Koire was sounding the alarm for years about UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 before she passed away in 2021. As a real estate appraiser who specialized in eminent domain valuation, she discovered the vast octopus of “Sustainable Development” and how its tentacles have compromised every city and town in North America and beyond (yes, even your small out-of-the-way city has its own sustainable development subsidiary).
In her book, “Behind The Green Mask: Agenda 21,” Koire describes how the Sustainable Development model has insinuated its way into every city’s land development planning board and explains things like “foodsheds” (food designed to support a 100-mile radius) and “transit villages” (what we would formerly call “cities” ):
Food sheds will dictate where you can live and when you can change your residence… It is reasonable to expect rationing based on this model.
The book, published in 2011, imagined a system for food rationing and for every individual to be easily identifiable in a 15-minute-city type scenario:
If you want to move to that village you’ll have to apply and wait for an opening… Doesn’t that make sense? Because if they only produce enough calories for the existing population then you’ll have to wait. And everyone living there will have to have an identification card [digital ID]. And anyone who wants to marry into the area or have a child might need to get permission.
Transhumanism is usually discussed in terms of wearable-implantable Wi-Fi devices and modern efforts at blurring children’s sexual identities. But in a world where every human activity is measured to the nth degree—including distance traveled, food consumed, and blockchain ledger banking—where’s “the humanity”?
The constant nudges and inevitable behavior modification will turn people into little more than video game non-player characters. You’ll already be half-robot. You might as well shave your head, wear a white outfit, and get baptized by the masses with the name THX-1138.
