Last week, President Trump struck a blow for freedom against “global governance.” He rallied fifty-seven members of the International Maritime Organization to prevent for at least a year the imposition of “international taxation” on this and other sovereign nations.

That’s the very good news. 

The bad news is that, to date, the United States has not acted to oppose the creation of another, ominous instrument of globalist domination – namely, the institution of surveillance, data aggregation and AI algorithms to monitor and control populations worldwide. 

We must not tolerate the imposition here of digital platforms, like “Real IDs,” that can serve as the information infrastructure for Chinese-style “social credit systems.” Ditto a central bank digital currency, like the so-called “Stable Coin,” that would enable the state to punish its perceived enemies by cutting off their access to funds.
