Mexico

What the hell actually is going on in Mexico. I've no idea if the BBC or CNN are reporting from Mexico very often because I don't watch prefabricated corporate garbage. Even flicking over BBC World news on my cable channel and getting a brief flash of someone saying 'terrorism' is too much.

Now I know a little about Mexico in that it is basically a warzone where lawlessness rules and murder is commonplace in drug related gang violence. Over 22,000 dead in 3 years apparently.

So, we know that things are unstable and violence and intimidation are prevalent, I'm sure we can assume that corruption is rife amongst elected officials and supposed public servants. A perfect testing ground for social experiments.

A few weeks ago one particular story shivered my spine more than most - this one. Retina scanning technology being trialled in a Mexican city of 1 million people.

"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that is your iris," says Jeff Carter, CDO of Global Rainmakers, who, before coming to GRI, headed a think tank partnership between Bank of America, Harvard, and MIT.

Hmm. Bank of American, Harvard and MIT. Haven't we seen those names somewhere before! Well yes, we know they are slimy little suckers on one of the tentacles of the New World Order. What's contained in this report is nothing less than petrifying, and Mr Cater's response to people having choice about being in this scheme was scripted by Orwell himself...

"And it's interesting: When you get masses of people opting-in, opting out does not help. Opting out actually puts more of a flag on you than just being part of the system. We believe everyone will opt-in."

You're are not helping the cause if you opt out! We all know that any scheme that is 'voluntary' to begin with becomes 'required' and then 'law'. It's a means of introducing the idea into public consciousness (Hollywood having laid the foundations).

Following on from this I saw a report posted on Prison Planet via 'The Economic Collapse Blog' called 'The Death of All Cash'.

In Mexico, a bill before the legislature would completely ban the purchase of real estate in cash. In addition, the new law would ban anyone from spending more than MXN 100,000 (about $7,700) in cash on vehicles, boats, airplanes and luxury goods.

$7,700 is not a very high limit, and this legislation has some real teeth to it. Anyone violating this law would face up to 15 years in prison.

We all know the ultimate goals of our new world - that is a micro-chipped prison planet where we can all truly be free in utopia...nowhere does it seem to be more scarily real at the moment than Mexico. Societal breakdown, minority report style technology being used and cash seemingly being phased out. The question is, how long before it spreads?
