The Beja High Council has said barricades at Port #Sudan and on the main road to Khartoum were being lifted from Monday morning for a monthhttps://t.co/3Pcl4iF9XF

— Faisal (@fromadic92) November 1, 2021

this is no surprise.
The split faction (tribes/warlords) who initiated the blockade
were pro-military and WANTED the military coup...
rather than the 'peaceful transition' initiated by the 'people' which was thwarted.
They are bribed. nothing more than an extortion operation. blackmail.
simply mercenaries in bed with the imperialists.

I hate to admit it, but this seems to be right.

(February 19, 2018) Microsoft, the ID2020 Alliance, universal digital identification and you
In May of 2016, at the United Nations Headquarters in NY, ID2020,
an alliance of governments, non-profits, academia, over 150 private sector companies
and 11 United Nations agencies collaborated on how to provide a unique digital identity to everyone on the planet.

Microsoft, in a recent announcement regarding using blockchain technology for decentralized identification
further articulated its support of this initiative stating, "Each of us needs a digital identity we own,
one which securely and privately stores all elements of our digital identity."

Microsoft's goal is to help establish universal and scalable standards for these decentralized digital identities using blockchain technology.
In a blockchain information exists as a shared database that is consistently reconciled.
If blockchains sound familiar, they should. Wallet apps like those used to buy things with popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
are the user interface most people associate with blockchain technology.

It is upon this tech that Microsoft and the Alliance are evolving applications for global identity management.

If the Alliance's goal is a globally recognized digital identity for everyone from birth to death,
will that become a global mandate? How will it be enforced and by whom? What happens to those individuals
who are unwilling to participate? Will they be persecuted? And how will the implementation of identification
evolve with technology beyond smartphones? Will wearables, implant's
like those being used in Swedish subways or some form of digital tattoo become the norm?

As more and more transactions become digital in nature and are built around a single global identification standard,
supported by Microsoft, the question of who will govern this evolving global community and economy becomes relevant.
Especially since nonparticipants in this system would be unable to buy or sell goods or services.

If you're just joining us, here are the major headlines:

- The day was relatively quiet after yesterday's nationwide #Oct30March protests.

- Following resistance committees instructions, neighborhoods in Khartoum were barricaded, and civil disobedience continued. #SudanCoup

There is a Brighteon post from a guy that claims to be a soldier being trained for this.

I think I understand now what politically correct language is all about. So that we can interact with AI. There was a TV programme just now where an "AI" was asked, "Should I eat meat?". Answer: "No, you shouldn't!"

I don't know if the machine would have been able to cope with my ("pi") reaction ...

There is already an app on smartphones, where you can ask questions and there are answers in spoken language. I think, it is called Siri or something like that. Students normally try to confuse the programme.

Those who will govern this will also be "nonparticipants" in this system but would be able to buy or sell goods or services far better than you and I. This system is only to control the cattle, not the shepherds.

Soma
In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley we are introduced to soma.
Soma is a drug used by characters when they are looking for a good time or beginning to feel unhappy or discomfort.
The commonality of using soma is illustrated when the author states,
“She felt in her pocket for her soma –only to discover that, by some unprecedented oversight,
she had left the bottle down at the rest-house”
