   Americans are quietly being assigned scores, similar to the way the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) runs its Social Credit System. The system is working through private businesses and banks, and rather than use a CCP standard of adherence to the ruling regime, is instead based on the social justice standards under environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Already, purchasing a gun, alcohol, or other items can affect your personal ESG score. And the scores allegedly also take into account which vendors you choose to buy products from.   In this live Q&A; with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.       Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.    ⭕️

   The Biden administration is targeting yet another group of Trump electors from 2020, in a bid to criminalize an act that until recently was widely viewed as a legal protection on the elections. During the 2020 elections, dueling electors in several states cast their electoral college votes for Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden. This was because investigations were being carried out into possible fraud in those states, and the dueling electors would allow the vice president to choose which votes to count when the final decision was made. But despite the fact that Democrats have done this historically, the Biden administration is now alleging this was a crime.   In this live Q&A; with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

New Group of Dueling Electors Indicted by Biden Admin, Termed ‘Fake Electors’

   During the Obama administration, a controversial policy was put in place to establish government control over the Internet by classifying broadband as a utility. This was net neutrality. The policy was dropped when Donald Trump was president, but just recently, it was quietly restored. The Federal Communications Commission brought it back in a 3–2 vote, restoring policies of equity over online traffic.

   There’s a new global push for digital currencies, and SWIFT is now planning to roll out a new platform that will connect the emerging central bank digital currencies into a single global network. The system is expected to be launched in one to two years.

In this special discussion, we sit down with Donald Kendal, co-director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute, to discuss central bank digital currencies and what the recent developments mean for the free world.

Major Global Change to the Banking System Will End Financial Privacy

   Elon Musk is battling against foreign censorship amid pressure from Brazil and Australia, both of which are trying to extend their censorship laws internationally. Meanwhile, a bill that will ban TikTok unless its parent company sells it before Jan. 19, 2025, has now been enacted. President Joe Biden signed the bill on April 24 after the Senate passed it in a 70 to 18 vote. Former President Donald Trump had warned that banning TikTok could create a tech monopoly for other social networks like Facebook, and other concerns were raised that the language of the legislation could give a president the ability to go after other platforms.
