Know the signs and stages of grooming. Talk to your kids❤

Let's notice how every one of these components is present in increasingly surveillance oriented, socially restrictive environments (including your private home, if you have one). A group, individual, or platforn pretends to care for us and help us meet needs... until suddenly they are willing to hurt us in order to do what they want us to do.

If you are reading this, there is a good chance this set of steps is already being used to make you vulnerable to traffickers as well as entrapping the more vulnerable people in your life.

When all of these components are present, it is extremely easy to traffic a vulnerable person.

I am very grateful for collaborative spaces where we are interacting with one another differently and supportively, so that we can change the environmental factors that would allow any of us to be trafficked for the first time or ever again.

When we notice how we can be in relationship with one another with a litmus for trust, to build increasing trust over time in a way that is fully human and fully in service of the life energy that is all living beings... it is directly antidotal to the violence of intentional trafficking systems.

Something I and some others have been striving to verbalize together is how commercial and technological platforms have usually been instituting these components as a matter of achieving financial stability.

When a social media company inserts itself into your relationships, for instance, it requires you to communicate in certain disabled ways and make money in certain disabled ways because they must ensure their platform makes money first in order to continue in relationship with you.

But this monetizes your relationships, too.

There are consequences for extracting oneself from a "relationship" with a trafficker or a platform that is facilitating trafficking.

The consequences of trying to separate oneself from the abusiveness of social media platforms make one more vulnerable to being trafficked, very much like the consequences of trying to separate oneself from the interpersonal abusiveness of an individual bad actor.

We know that our environments don't have to include any of this abusive stuff.

Even the subtlest versions of it, we can do without them utterly!

When we make sure our environments don't include those abuse patterns, when we ensure inclusive communication and the means of healthy relationship building, traffickers are not able to move in our environments.

When we establish these safe and inclusive environments, most traffickers don't even stay traffickers.

Because most traffickers didn't want to be traffickers in the first place.

Those ones became traffickers because they were deprived of environments that would have protected them from traffickers; they were captured by a trafficking network and could then only find "safety" by intentionally trafficking others.

For many, this has been happening to them since they were babies.

When captured traffickers come into regular contact with environments that fully protect and support trafficking survivors, environments that are activated, aware, and inclusive, there are rapidly decreasing reasons for that one to continue to be a trafficker for their own survival.

As survivors of trafficking and as individuals still being victimized by networks of intentional trafficking, we need others to be fully cognizant of this in their desire to help us.

When we take this approach, it safeguards us from violence and conflict.

We immediately dismantle networks of intentional trafficking activities by focusing on actively including the components of healthy, safe, inclusive community resourcing.

A great deal of this we continue to broadcast almost every day @IntuitiveCommunity and @IntuitivePublicRadio.

Thank you for co-creating these spaces so that it could be safe for me to say so.

found this, thought it was of interest. also check out who their partners are.

they use ai learning and basically profiling to figure out how to manipulate certain groups.

Welcome to MintCast -- an interview series featuring dissenting voices the establishment would rather silence -- I’m your host, Mnar Adley. Today we’re joined by Raul Diego, a MintPress staff writer, filmmaker and photojournalist who will discuss the anti-Chinese lockdown propaganda and how the COVID economic disaster is paving the way for surveillance, digital currency and human capital markets based on a series of articles he wrote for MintPress News. A recent letter addressed to the FBI, entitled “The Chinese Communist Party’s Global Lockdown Fraud,” has been gaining considerable traction. The letter -- signed by a number of prominent individuals, including military commanders and government advisers -- essentially suggests that China, and Xi Jinping in particular, tricked the world into pursuing authoritarian responses to the pandemic. However, the anti-Chinese lockdown narrative is obscuring a much broader effort by the financial and tech sector to create state-backed digital currency that will turn humanity into data assets. The world’s most powerful hedge funds and transnational corporations can use this data to create more profits for themselves and their clients, while rendering the poor poorer.

Walmart plans to issue CommonPass passport with vaccines.

People who get Covid-19 shots at thousands of Walmart and Sam’s Club stores may soon be able to verify their vaccination status at airports, schools and other locations [IAF: WHAT other locations?!] using a health passport app on their smartphones.

“Walmart is the first huge-scale administrator of vaccines that is committing to giving people a secure, verifiable record of their vaccinations,” said Paul Meyer, the chief executive of the Commons Project Foundation, a nonprofit in Geneva that has developed health passport apps. “We think many others will follow.”

If major retailers, banks, are all in cahoots on this, what state you are in ceases to be relevant. Texas grocery stores are still requiring masks, for example. And this is poised to morph into no in-person shopping without the vax.

Russian Supermarket launches facial recognition system for payments

Russia’s X5 group, the country’s leading food retailer, announced Wednesday the launch of a facial recognition payment system, the latest expansion of a technology that has sparked privacy and security concerns.

To launch its facial recognition payment system the X5 group, which owns the Pyaterochka convenience stores and the Perekrestok supermarket chain, has joined forces with the Visa payment system and Russia’s state giant Sberbank that is striving to become an IT company.

The service has rolled out in 52 Perekrestok supermarkets and will expand to a total of 150 by the end of the month, X5 innovation director Ivan Melnik told AFP, adding that the system will also be available in 30 Pyaterochka stores by the end of April.

He said some 3,000 stores across Russia will feature facial recognition payment systems by the end of the year.

At a Moscow supermarket on Tuesday, the service appeared to be winning the support of younger customers.

“It’s great because the 21st century is the era of technology,” said 28-year-old banker Andrei Epifanov.

But he added that he thinks older people may not trust the new technology.

The service will only be available at self-service checkouts for Sberbank customers after the bank recently allowed its users to set up facial recognition to pay from their accounts.

To complete the transaction in the pandemic era, customers will need to remove their facemasks “for a second and look into the camera”, the companies behind the payment system said in a statement.
