In these posts, I’m exploring the agencies, committees, and ministries that are leading Canada into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the metaverse. We’ll develop a deeper understanding of what that means as we go. First, I’m documenting the architecture that is being put in place to get us there. This is a global project. All jurisdictions will be erecting similar bodies. (Unless they aren’t. And then I’m wrong.) As we’ll see in this second post, this is a marriage of public and private worlds. What is called private cannot proceed without the support of governments throughout the world. The distinction between public and private has always been, mostly, an artificial construct, obscuring their interdependence.

At this moment in the process, governments are forcing their populations to submit to a fake-vaccine – in fact, a series of injections – that they claim protects people against COVID-19. What is going on? I can see four possibilities.

First, there is a deadly virus spawning countless variants sweeping across the planet in waves and threatening humanity with apocalyptic mortality rates. Our only chance is to give everybody an experimental vaccine that is unlikely to provide any protection against the alleged virus, according to Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Bourla. The unsafe and ineffective vaccine is, however, causing a health catastrophe. More fundamentally, the virus has never been shown to exist in nature. Consequently, I reject this thesis. It is baseless, antiscientific.

Second, there may or may not be a virus that makes some people sick. However, the vaccine is a depopulation shot. We are in the midst of a planetary culling project, carried out by a handful of Malthusian enthusiasts. I reject this hypothesis for reasons that will be clear by the end of this post. However, the fact that the vaccines are killing still unknown numbers of victims and debilitating others is incontestable. I will be arguing that the intention of the architects is not to kill the vaccine recipients; they are collateral damage of a much more ambitious undertaking.

Third, the entire COVID-19 virus story, true or false, is being used as a pretext to introduce vaccine passports for the purpose of controlling the global population under a centralized dictatorship. Once people have accepted the vaccine passport, they are subject to whatever capricious edicts the new rulers mandate. Vaccine passports, which will quickly turn into obedience-to-the-regime identity cards, are the wedge that opens the door to totalitarianism. This hypothesis is more likely than the first two and contains much truth. The passports – introduced for whatever reason – are dangerous and must be resisted entirely. But there is another lens that offers a different nuance of the danger of passports.

Fourth, Operation Covid is a pretext to forward an agenda that has been decades in the making: the culmination of financial capitalism, the end point of the Empire of Capital. The goal is to extract all of the data possible from every human being and to feed it into the metaverse currently under construction. Not only humans, but all of the earth will exist in this digital form. (A game, really.) Everything in and on the actual earth will have a digital twin in the metaverse. A real world and a virtual world. Insurance companies have long collected as much data as possible on populations in order to predict outcomes. Their profits are based on managing risks. In order to manage risks, they must understand them. How long will any one person live? Once you have all the metrics on that person, you can predict when he is likely to die and whether the company will profit from his policy. What is the likelihood of a natural disaster striking? Where? When? And so on. Actuaries consider all contingencies and finacialize them. Insurance companies stay in business by effectively betting on outcomes based on actuarial calculations. They know they will profit from most of their clients. In the same way, capitalists will be able to bet on the outcomes of real people based on their metrics in the digital world. While it may sound odd at first, this infrastructure is already being constructed. This fourth hypothesis sees the endgame as a logical outcome of finance capitalism, which has, otherwise, run its course. And so the main purpose of the universal vaccination program is to fit every human with the nanonetwork to collect biometric data, send it to the cloud, and, in turn, receive commands from the web. This blurs the line between the virtual and real worlds. Your digital twin will be built based, in large part, on the data collected from your physical body. But you will be subject to the decisions and interests of those who control the Web, based on your digital twin.

As Alison McDowell has been arguing, COVID is not a medical crisis. It certainly has been harmful to our health, but the invention of a virus and the gaslighting that has been going on for two years has been necessary to create the infrastructure needed to get us to this point in the Great Reset. I add that the vaccines, as La Quinta Columna has shown, are a method to inject everybody with the biosensors (based on graphene compounds) that transform us into transhumans, which the World Economic Forum and the Canadian government have been promoting for years.

In the rest of this post, I’m going to show how the actions of the government of Ontario support the fourth hypothesis. This is far from an exhaustive analysis, but it frames the research agenda that will ultimately reveal what is going on.

In May 2020, the government of Ontario created the Future State Modernization Committee to report to Cabinet. Its purpose is “to provide leadership and direction to drive public sector modernization initiatives coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.” In particular, the FSMC was to implement the Ontario Onwards plan. Its chair is the president of the Treasury Board, Peter Bethlenfalvy. On 26 November 2020, the lieutenant governor of Ontario passed an executive order that created the role of four Special Advisors to the Future State Modernization Committee. Since the province is under a state of emergency, such orders are technically allowed. The premier has the power to appoint the Special Advisors and to determine their terms of reference.

Those Special Advisors, called Private Sector Champions (PSCs), are “industry experts from the private sector who will provide guidance and advice to the Premier and to the Chair of the Future State Modernization Committee (FSMC), to support and ensure the successful delivery of the Future State Modernization mandate.” The FSMC is under the authority of the Treasury Board Secretariat. The PSCs receive no remuneration for their work. Why? Either their work is worth nothing or it’s consequential in a way that the government does not want to advertise. More likely, they are not really working for the people of Ontario, but for Big Business. So why should Ontario pay them? Precisely – it doesn’t.

So, who has been chosen as Private Sector Champions to advise Premier Ford and the Future State Modernization Committee? And who chose these PSCs? I can’t answer the second question yet, but looking at the identity of the first PSC will help us to understand where the Ontario government is headed.

The first appointment as Private Sector Champion, in February 2021 and extending to November 2023, is Cindy Forbes. Who’s that?

Forbes is the chief analytics officer at Manulife and a member of the company’s Global Leadership Team. Before that, she was the company’s Chief Actuary. She worked for Manulife in Japan and then in Hong Kong as CFO for the entire Asian region. So, she has extensive experience with data analytics, the insurance industry, and Asia. She was chosen to advise Premier Ford and the Future State Modernization Committee. On what?

Let’s take a brief look at the Future State Modernization Committee. Why was it established. To do what? It’s job is to bring in the “future” province of Ontario. I suspect that not one Ontarian reading this even knows the Committee exists. I don’t know what Cindy Forbes is advising the premier and the Committee. I don’t know who chose Forbes to advise the politicians who, thanks to the capricious nature of electoral politics, happen to be in power at this moment to bring in the Future, Modern State of Ontario. But, we do know that an actuary with much experience in Asia was chosen to guide the province. Don’t forget, her strength is predictive analytics.

So, let’s look briefly at the Future State Modernization Committee. You’ll have to read the Ontario Onwards plan. This is how I read it. This is what Forbes, a Manulife actuary, is going to help usher in.

In the nineteen pages of Ontario Onwards, the word “digital” appears thirty-five times. In the modernized state that the FSMC is building, every interaction that can be digitalized, will be. Every dealing that Ontarians have with the government will be through a digital app. To describe how simple the modern state will be, they introduce Johnny: “He learns that instead of coming into a government office to show his ID, he can download a digital wallet app and apply for the service online. The app helps him validate his identity using the information on his driver’s license and health card and creates a digital version of his identity that can be used wherever a website or service is set up to accept it.”

In that way, digital Ontario will be much simpler, more convenient, save your tax dollars, eliminate red tape, make it easier to do business, and so on. Digital, modern Ontario is sold in Ontario Onwards as the ultimate service to Ontarians. Minister Bethlenfalvy says that the COVID-19 crisis gave us the impetus to move Ontario into this future. For instance, “The COVID-19 exposure notification application was rapidly developed in partnership with the federal government and volunteers from Shopify and BlackBerry.” That is one example of the coming state. But think about this: that exposure notification application was a tracking device that allowed the state to know where you were at all times and with whom you came into contact. With that knowledge the government was able to force you into self-isolation. It doesn’t take much imagination to see that there is a dangerous potential to all of the progress towards a digital future. Especially in the hands of an all-powerful government working seamlessly with industry, in this case, Big Tech.

Never do the authors of this document tell us that giving Ontarians a digital wallet where all of their data is collected exposes them to constant surveillance. We can imagine that the data collected from “private” sources like Google and Facebook will be aggregated with this Ontarian’s state metrics. And, through the Canada Revenue Agency, his banking and spending details will be included. Everything that you can know about him, you can. Public and private all meet in the metaverse. And, while they do tell us that Johnny will have “a digital version of his identity,” they don’t tell us how that could be used in this future, modern Ontario. They avoid the term “digital twin,” because, I suspect, it might set off red flags. But they do make it clear that his identity will be standardized with other countries. So, you begin to see that all of his data will be collected and available beyond Canada.

What does it mean that an insurance industry actuary and artificial intelligence expert is advising the government on this new digitalized future?

Before I leave this post, I want to underline how the insurance sector works. This will be important for our ongoing analysis. Insurance is one of the four sectors of finance capitalism. Those four sectors are known as FIRE: finance, insurance, real estate. They are the sectors in which investors can make a profit without manufacturing anything. In fact, over time, it has become apparent that it is far more lucrative to make nothing in the physical world, because the profits are all in the FIRE sectors.

Insurance works, and is profitable, by betting on the outcomes of people’s lives based on data about them. Insurance produces nothing in the physical world. A common catchphrase over the recent years has been that data is the new oil. Why is that? Because betting on the outcomes of people’s lives is not new and has proven to be extremely profitable. With the infrastructure being built now (tracing apps, 5G, and biosensors) data collection is reaching new heights. Predictive analytics of that data is coming to the fore in financial circles. There is nothing new about betting on people’s lives and outcomes. We have all been playing that game throughout our lives. What will be new is the way that game is played. That is what the next post will explore.
