  All right, I'm Jay Fallon and you are listening to the
• 0:06
  slippery slope. So you said I was doing a little
• 0:09
  bit of research reading through several different articles come
• 0:13
  across. This one is from the guardian
• 0:15
  and the headline, says, protests in China over Frozen bank
• 0:19
  accounts ends in violence. So, anyway, I'm reading through
• 0:22
  the article and I've come across this this paragraph or read this
• 0:26
  section to you. It says, The Saga Drew attention
• 0:29
  further. Attention in June, when
• 0:31
  protesters reported that their personal health codes, which are
• 0:35
  now mandatory for almost all Chinese citizens to access
• 0:39
  public venues turned red to indicate, they will covid.
• 0:42
  Positive, they suspected local officials were behind the move
• 0:47
  in an attempt to dissuade them from complaining.
• 0:50
  One of the victims was Miss Yang, who had four hundred
• 0:54
  ninety nine thousand. Five hundred one which is
• 0:56
  equivalent to about 62,000. Hounds.
• 1:00
  This is English English article held in one of the bank's it's
• 1:04
  probably around 100,000 Australian dollar.
• 1:07
  Mark on April 18, she discovered she was unable to access the
• 1:11
  funds. She says, I got the red code for
• 1:14
  about 10 days. When trying to complain, she
• 1:17
  told the guardian the government should help us to resume cash
• 1:21
  withdrawal Service as early as possible so that we can resume a
• 1:24
  normal life. Now, reading this article, you
• 1:28
  know, I was just flipping through it there and I Didn't
• 1:30
  really understand what they were talking about with this red code
• 1:33
  and why that ments how they have this red code, which meant they
• 1:36
  were covid positive. And obviously they've got this
• 1:38
  red code and they couldn't enter a bank.
• 1:41
  They couldn't go and protest, they couldn't go on and find out
• 1:44
  what happened with their money. The one that's weird.
• 1:46
  I didn't really understand what they were talking about.
• 1:48
  So today I come across this article and it's from the
• 1:52
  guardian. Again, the headline says Hong
• 1:54
  Kong to electronically tagged covid patients as it adopts
• 1:58
  China's health. System.
• 2:01
  So here you go. This is the explanation behind
• 2:03
  this red code that mr. Yang was talking about the
• 2:06
  article says that Hong Kong will mandate electronic tracking
• 2:10
  bracelets for people in home isolation and bring in a China
• 2:15
  style, electronic health code system as part of fresh measures
• 2:19
  to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
• 2:22
  Or if you're in China, it will prevent you from leaving the
• 2:27
  house to go and see. Why the heck you can?
• 2:29
  Not withdraw your money out of the bank complete control.
• 2:33
  So the article goes to say, the quarantine bracelets to be
• 2:37
  introduced on Friday will be mandatory for people who have
• 2:41
  tested positive and are quarantining at home to ensure.
• 2:46
  They do not leave the building during the isolation period.
• 2:49
  We have to make sure that home isolation is more precise or
• 2:54
  being Humane. This is what low Chun Mao.
• 2:57
  The city's new health secretary said Announcing the new
• 3:01
  requirement on Monday, breaching a mandatory.
• 3:05
  Quarantine order in Hong Kong, carries a fine of up to 25,000
• 3:11
  Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent of 3200 and up to six
• 3:17
  months in jail. Hong Kong has previously used
• 3:22
  two types of bracelets to track people under home quarantine at
• 3:26
  the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and earlier plastic Wrist,
• 3:30
  wrist band with a QR code and a later.
• 3:34
  One with a bulky. Electronic tracker, low did not
• 3:37
  clarify, which one would be introduced on Friday under the
• 3:41
  health code system, which tracks the movement of people Via
• 3:45
  Mobile phones, citizens will be allowed to enter public spaces.
• 3:50
  If the QR code on their account is green, the code turns yellow.
• 3:55
  If people have have been in close contact with an infected
• 3:59
  person And read, if the person has tested positive for the
• 4:04
  virus under the Hong Kong health code arriving Travelers will
• 4:09
  also be marked yellow low said in his announcement.
• 4:14
  So people with red and yellow codes will not be allowed in
• 4:18
  high-risk venues such as hospitals and aged care
• 4:22
  facilities so you can get sick. We've got that yellow or red Co
• 4:27
  can't go to the hospital. Just just At home and die.
• 4:32
  And they also cannot engage in high-risk activities, including
• 4:36
  taking off masks, it's taking off your mask as a high risk.
• 4:41
  The new system will be rolled out in the leave home safe.
• 4:45
  App introduced last year at public spaces to track people's
• 4:49
  movement. Human Rights, Watch Dogs, have
• 4:53
  criticized China's health code system as an invasion of privacy
• 4:57
  warning that Beijing uses data collected on the system to
• 5:02
  control and restrict freedoms. Which I would ya oh would
• 5:06
  guarantee okay? That that's what they've done
• 5:09
  with this banking crisis. No.
• 5:11
  Ruler area of China where they weren't allowing people to
• 5:15
  withdraw their funds because the bank was collapsing.
• 5:19
  And so, then there were manipulating the data on these
• 5:23
  bracelets to come up as red. So that you couldn't even go
• 5:26
  down to the bank. You weren't allowed outside in
• 5:28
  public. Yes.
• 5:31
  But of course the world should continue dealing with China
• 5:35
  because they're good. Good as to good government,
• 5:39
  local experts warn Hong, Kong's Health codes and bracelets may
• 5:43
  have the unintended consequence of swaying people to not report
• 5:48
  positive test results had a fear of major disruption to their
• 5:52
  lives. Although the measures may have a
• 5:54
  marginal impact on decreasing Community spread, the impact
• 5:58
  that is fart that is more Certainly is the impact on
• 6:01
  testing and Reporting. That's what been caroling.
• 6:04
  Chair professor of epidemiology. At the University of Hong Kong
• 6:08
  School of Public. Health said, Hong Kong is
• 6:12
  reporting an average of about 2,500 cases a day, but future
• 6:17
  statistics may not fully reflect the reality of the situation.
• 6:22
  It maybe in a week or two, it's lower but not because
• 6:26
  transmission has gone down but because people are not
• 6:28
  reporting, Kelly said, And Hong, Kong's, new measures signal, the
• 6:32
  city is unlikely to relent on its bid to quash.
• 6:36
  All covid-19 Transmission, even as other countries have
• 6:41
  continued to relax measures in light of higher vaccination
• 6:45
  rates as well as economic and social pressures.
• 6:48
  Listen, there are so many practices that the rest of the
• 6:52
  world has adopted that only China used to do the lockdowns.
• 6:58
  We're all practicing. Is that that China was doing and
• 7:02
  the rest of the world just happily took them on.
• 7:05
  We, in Australia, we were Infamous for our lockdown Fury,
• 7:10
  our and joy had been locked down, apparently just going
• 7:15
  along with the rest of the crowd.
• 7:17
  All yep, will go along with this lockdown, doesn't really make
• 7:20
  sense, but we'll, we'll continue on with it, you know, we were
• 7:23
  all told that all we only need two weeks when you two or three
• 7:26
  weeks to, you know, to stem the curb to lower the The curb to
• 7:30
  bring it down and then, you know, two years later, we're
• 7:33
  still going through the same rigmarole.
• 7:35
  So now China's using these tracking bracelets that they, it
• 7:40
  seems that they can actually manipulate to show whatever they
• 7:44
  want. How long is it going to take
• 7:46
  before the rest of the world? All these systems are put in
• 7:49
  place for tracking identifying conducting surveillance.
• 7:54
  How long is it going to be for the rest of the world decides?
• 7:57
  You know what? This is a good system as well.
• 8:00
  As with the surveillance system that China is already has
• 8:04
  already brought him over there. Okay, the rest of the world has
• 8:07
  happily adopted, it with tracking their citizens
• 8:11
  monitoring, their citizens here in Australia, we've got major
• 8:15
  companies, like Bunnings and the good guys apparently, they've
• 8:18
  best been using. Facial recognition technology in
• 8:22
  their stores. Why, in reality, why does
• 8:25
  Bunnings or a retail shop? Like the good guys?
• 8:29
  Why do they I need facial recognition in their stores.
• 8:33
  At the end of last year, I did an episode on the slippery slope
• 8:37
  regarding agios ability to conduct surveillance without a
• 8:42
  warrant on Australian citizens. We are just wandering around
• 8:46
  with their eyes wide shut thinking, that everything's
• 8:49
  fine. We're all coming out of this
• 8:51
  covid mass and yeah, we're slowly getting back to normal
• 8:54
  but we're not getting back to normal.
• 8:56
  If you listen to the rhetoric coming out of the news,
• 8:58
  especially here in Australia, Listen to the ABC.
• 9:01
  All they like to go on with this.
• 9:03
  How we in this, in the middle of another wave, everything is
• 9:06
  turning bad. Everything is going bad and
• 9:09
  politicians aren't listening to the medical experts and the
• 9:13
  media. Apparently, they know they keep
• 9:14
  touting. How you know, we need to have
• 9:16
  mask mandates. We need to have people enforcing
• 9:18
  mask mandates. We need to bring in all these
• 9:21
  mandates. Again, that's all the media
• 9:23
  want, they want the bad news to keep flowing.
• 9:26
  You look, at, what's happening in China, what's happening in
• 9:28
  Hong Kong? These tracking bracelets.
• 9:32
  How long do you think it is for the rest of the world?
• 9:35
  Takes this technology and said? Yep, this will be a good way to
• 9:38
  track everything we continue to have these so-called waves of
• 9:41
  covid. Coming through our society.
• 9:43
  Let's adopt tracking bracelets, I tell you what, it's not much
• 9:48
  of a jump before you go from tracking bracelets to something
• 9:53
  like a little Mark on your forehead, or your right hand.
• 9:56
  We just scan that and the traction.
• 10:00
  All these things that people a couple of years ago, people were
• 10:04
  talking about and saying well no that's just conspiracy
• 10:08
  conspiracy theorists. We now see that what the Bible
• 10:13
  has told us, thousands of years ago with the mark of the beast
• 10:17
  and a one world government that will have complete control over
• 10:20
  Society is, everything is being put in place for that system,
• 10:25
  we're seeing it come to life. Before our eyes wake up, people
• 10:29
  wake up and the words of one of my favorite.
• 10:33
  Favorite singers, Andrae Crouch, he says, Jesus is the answer for
• 10:37
  the world today. Open your eyes The Bible is
• 10:41
  Right, 2000 years ago. It's you at all, starting to
• 10:44
  take formation. That's my opinion.
• 10:47
  Thank you for listening to the slippery slope.
