The Orb BANNED AGAIN From Harnessing Your Soul...I Mean Bio-Metrics
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
Silence!
The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
You've got to say, I'm a human being!
God damn it!
My life has value!
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
It's...
Showtime!
And now, Reality with Jason Burmiss.
And who loves you and who do you love?
Hey everybody, Jason Burmiss here and I'm just asking Jason Burmiss here and I'm just asking questions and today we're going to be asking some big questions about biometric harnessing of a person's information in exchange for digital verification.
essentially blockchain people.
I've played the World Economic Forum clip of their blockchain refugee camps.
And in some ways, that's actually going to integrate into this a little bit.
We're not going to play that again.
But essentially, they were utilizing biometrics to take in refugees.
They have them in the camp.
This decides when they get to eat, where they get to sleep, where they get to work, etc.
And all of their goods and services are distributed through a system of a tokenized human being, right?
And it's through the IMF and it works out all these different charges and fees and it's just so darn efficient, right?
Now, we've talked about WorldCoin and Sam Altman in the past.
Sam Altman, most people know him for OpenAI.
We discussed the launch.
We showed people waiting around the block.
We showed different areas around the world, including under the World Trade Center in New York City, where you can actually scan your eyes, your face, and guess what?
You get some world coinage, and then as you interact with the world coin, you get one like a month, and then of course the harnesser of your biometric information.
We got some tongue-in-cheek stuff today.
They get paid as well.
And there also breeds a bunch of the corruption.
Because the real reason I ended up doing this video is the fact that now WorldCoin is claiming 10 million users.
But earlier today, you know, the Mario Nafal Twitter account.
It had tweeted something about Portugal.
Banning iris scans.
And it turned out that story is like 10 months old.
I'd covered it in the past.
We're going to cover it again today along with some other ones.
But it got me on a kick.
And it just goes to show that no matter what the pushback is, the agenda pushes forward.
They've got 10 million users.
Now, whenever you financially incentivize anything like this, okay, you're going to get corruption.
We have a CNBC piece that actually is very good.
It's from like over a year ago and it illustrates some of the corruption.
Then we're going to get into another story where basically organized crimes, Chechen gangs, again, we have to understand that people still get traffic throughout the world.
I know it's an uncomfortable topic, but it's a real thing and organized crime is real.
So these Chechen gangs, because they wanted to get paid, they were forcing all sorts of different individuals, including refugees, to sign up for WorldCoin in one of their scams.
And this article gets into violence and fistfights and all sorts of goodies.
We're going to do a watch along with the CNBC piece, and we're going to talk about the 10 million users.
Thumbs it up!
Subscribe, share, ring that bell.
Again, we can't seem to grow on YouTube, but if you follow me on X, there's somewhere where...
You know, by doing these videos, maybe we can get like 10, 20 followers a day.
I know, whoop-a-da-do, but we're doing it.
And remember, I can't do it without you.
The Buy Me A Coffee link is down below, along with others.
$5, $10, $15 does mean the world to me.
I want to shout out to Patty, who just made a donation again.
Could not do this without you guys.
So let's start here.
Portugal orders Sam Altman's work on to halt data collection.
Now, there's a bunch of other places like Kenya that did this prior.
You know, again, this is a 10-month-old article, but again, it got recycled online today.
This is really a warning to how just low-level corruption will force people into digital slavery, okay?
Now, I want people to understand this.
You may think, oh, well, you have a choice, you're volunteering, etc.
Some people don't have a choice.
And you've got to understand, it's not like you're part of some elite class that isn't going to have to partake eventually.
Incrementalism has been a tool of the establishment in trying to bring about This digital, biometric, not just Internet of Things, but Internet of Bodies agenda that we've covered extensively.
Another thing we're not going to play is that Rand Corporation piece, now from years ago, laying out the Internet of Bodies.
And again, this is part of that program.
Now, I do want to again highlight that Singapore also has warned against WorldCoin accounts.
And there are many different European nations that have also probed Altman that's in this piece.
But I also want to remind people that when we're talking about the biometric harnessing of data, we beta tested all this outside of a digital currency, outside of the blockchain, via Iraq and Afghanistan.
And this is a piece from last March in 2023. So, you know, almost two years ago, why does the U.S. still retain biometrics of millions of Iraqis?
Because, again, they didn't have a choice.
They had to line up.
It's, again, something I covered all the way back in Invisible Empire, a New World Order defined.
Doing that 20-plus years ago.
It's an extension of the military-industrial complex.
But now you have a system where you not only have that information, you can tokenize it and track it in real time.
So, you know, I want to read some of this before I get into the 10 million and we actually watch this piece from CNBC, because this is a wild story, all right?
In March, something strange happened at one of WorldCoin's eyeball scanning stations in Berlin.
A 10-person brawl erupted.
Chechen nationals, refugees, and security guards traded punches, leaving one guard with a bloody nose.
This was just one of several fights at WorldCoin sites in the German capital this spring as volunteers queued up for their irises scanned in exchange for free crypto, according to three people with direct...
Knowledge of the incidents.
It talks about the clear incentive, right?
And then it gets into physical threats down here.
The staff at WorldCoin site got to know the group who said they were from Chechnya, a war-torn part of Russia.
They were aggressive.
A few times I got physically threatened and yelled in my face at one person who dealt with them.
Tensions mounted as WorldCoin staff started screening sign-ups.
They suspected the Chechens were wrangling refugees to sign up for a scan and that the crypto reward, according to the DL News.
You see how this works?
When they rejected three of the refugees from getting scanned, the Chechens refused to leave, and suddenly blows were exchanged.
One antagonist threw a cafe chalkboard menu through the air as yelling filled the malls.
Because these are all in big public arenas.
And again, not many people are talking about this issue that keeps pushing forward.
Remember, Sam Altman got his first invite.
He didn't go back to back years.
We'll see if he gets invited again to Bilderberg.
Right as OpenAI was starting to take off and GPT became more and more of a staple and a consumer product.
But look, this is today.
So, here's the deal.
We talk about tomorrow's news today.
We cover stuff no one covers for years in advance.
And this should be a big story.
I shouldn't have to come through this through a story that I posted from 10 months ago, which I'm glad I did because I found this world announces 10 million users verified on the world network.
Now, how many of those were slave wrangled in some kind of Chechen national scam.
Who knows?
Okay.
Now, World, formerly known as WorldCoin, recently announced the milestone of verifying 10 million human beings on its digital identity network.
WorldCoin uses a network of orbs to collect biometric data to establish proof of personhood, identifiers that are verifying individuals as human and who that individual is.
All right.
Now, we're going to...
Again, this is a really good piece.
And I've joked around, but like, this is the Loch Nahr, man.
If you haven't seen Heavy Metal, just everything about this, I know that people like liking it because it's metal to the phantasm-like orb deal, and I get that.
It's the Loch Nahr, bro.
It's evil.
It's Bad News Brown.
So with that being said, let's get into this, and we'll be stopping it occasionally.
Again, get those thumbs up, subscribe, share, check out the alt accounts, and consider supporting the broadcast.
Here we go.
In cities around the world, big metallic orbs are scanning people's eyeballs and handing out a new cryptocurrency as a reward.
From New York to Tokyo, these scanning stations look like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, one where humans trade their personal biometric data for the right to participate in a new kind of modern economy.
This is WorldCoin.
What it's trying to do is to have a validated identity for every person in the world to connect your identity to an address on blockchain.
For a long time, most people didn't know that Sam Altman, the man behind OpenAI and ChatGBT, had a crypto side project.
That is, until it officially launched in July.
The project has a lot of big-name backers.
In May, WorldCoin raised $115 million in a Series C funding round led by Blockchain Capital.
Other members of its cap table include VCs like Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase.
WorldCoin, now valued at $3 billion, according to the information, promises to be a new decentralized form of identity.
And you know what?
Let's look it up right now.
This is over a year old.
It's got the backing of Coinbase.
What is the WorldCoin valuation of world?
We do it live!
We do it live!
No, I don't want the coin.
I want the company.
Valuation of company.
What is it?
It's still valued around $3 billion as of the latest available filings.
However, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's get a little bit of this right here.
So WorldCoin, they say it's $3 billion in 2022. So that's that piece.
$75 billion in February of 2024. WorldCoin's token reached an all-time high of $7.
As of January of 2025, it's a market cap of $1.92 at $2.16.
So it went wild.
It's actually worth less than this now with 10 million users.
See, we like to keep up on the factual information and the actual numbers here.
But again, with the backing of Coinbase, listen, I know a lot of people that were watching my show before this thing launched.
And I was talking about it.
They made some buco bucks on that.
made some crypto dipto on the backs of souls of human beings.
You know, it's an NFT that's attached to you.
Well, One, what government's going to do it?
Are we going to elect a centralized government authority?
No, governments don't get along.
And so what that means then is, okay, then are we going to have private business do that?
And that's the issue there is that we do have people that are founders of WorldCoin, that are business people.
People have invested and the rest of the world says, hey, well, why are we picking this company to be our intermediary?
And so that's where the decentralization is critical and security is critical.
The user signs up through the app and they are then tasked with visiting a WorldCoin location in one of the more than 20 countries where the orbs are currently operational.
Now, that in-person visit lasts a few minutes and is all about proving a person is a human and not a bot.
Privacy is the word of the moment, right?
The objective, the driver behind the whole project is actually privacy or at least protection of data.
That's the talking point.
But when you look at digital IDs and digital verification that we're now seeing in Australia, actually, that we mentioned when we read about it in that Peter Thiel piece earlier today, where he was talking about that as a step.
This is way beyond this.
So the idea, it's some kind of privacy.
This gets into the Everything app, all right?
And something like this.
It's also integrated with a universal basic income, right?
So when we talk about that World Economic Forum piece with refugee camps and the IMF, they also talk about universal basic income.
Digitized slavery for total track trace database and beyond.
And really not just of where you are, of your very essence.
That internet of bodies that I was discussing earlier.
And what the founders of the project are saying is this is a way that we have found to move the conversation on how we secure access and how we ensure that the people accessing their online personas and whatever form that takes are the real people and they're not AI, they're not bots.
So you show up to prove that you're not a bot, but how do you prove you are who you say you are?
Well, by providing WorldCoin a scan of your iris using a proprietary technology WorldCoin built called the orb.
The process of collecting certain biometric data to confirm identity is similar in spirit to the scans that Clear does at the airport or even the Apple Face ID. Now with WorldCoin, that iris scan allows you to get a digital decentralized passport known as a WorldID.
To protect individual identities, WorldCoin says that it uses a cryptography-based privacy-preserving technique known as zero-knowledge proofs to separate the biometric data from the identifier itself.
But in a world where tech companies constantly lose track or exploit people's data, skeptics aren't so sure.
You know, I hate that...
She prefaced it with lose track of.
I am glad that the next line was exploit people's data.
All I can say to that is no shit, Sherlock.
Of course.
You know, once again, in my earlier video today talking about the fact that you have all digital communications, all emails, all phone calls, Running off into the NSA through Norris Insight Systems in the 90s.
It's not just the government.
It's not just companies.
Often there is, again, that very fascistic combination of both.
There are the plausible deniability cycles.
And then you have the government programs where you have these people embedded.
In the organizations that they didn't shepherd and create or don't have the best contracts with, etc.
Let's continue.
Edward Snowden said on Twitter, don't use biometrics for anything, in response to Altman's post about WorldCoin in 2021, adding that the human body is not a ticket punch.
This is where the controversy around WorldCoin lies.
"Having privacy, digital identity and having it to yourself, self-sovereign, meaning self-custody, is a big theme in all of the world, not just in Web3.
I think some of the criticism surrounding this is related to how the token was sold and it was done overseas." WorldCoin says more than 2.2 million people have signed up so far, but the ambition is to ultimately span the entire globe, while offering a couple other big perks along the way.
So again, I want to reiterate, this is over a year old, but...
Despite the pace they're on, where, again, you have 10 million users at this point, probably because of the global legal battles, that's why you see a devaluation, not worth as much, etc.
But if it's able to get beyond that, or you never know, because they will cut you out.
When I say they, I'm talking about the establishment.
All right?
Again, it was deep state versus deep state today, right?
Peter Thiel is talking about taking down the deep state, dropping Jeffrey Epstein names.
My goodness.
My goodness.
Give me a break.
But when you look at this, all right, even if this project doesn't go through, smart contracts are here to stay.
The Ethereum network is here to stay.
Obviously, Bitcoin has exploded.
And as those things have happened, altcoins have not had their gravy trained with biscuit wheels again.
They're a little bit more few and far between now because of regulation.
And you wonder which winners and losers are really going to be picked out there.
All right, let's continue on here.
We already talked about using WLD, the platform's native crypto token, as a way to create and distribute a universal basic income.
And then there's the utility of a digital identity where a world ID could hypothetically be used to sign in to all websites without having to forfeit identifying information in the process, like a name or email, or be traceable by government.
So there it is again.
Johnny nonsense is not traceable by government.
Period.
Okay, especially with quantum computing, artificial intelligence, classified networks, but universal basic income gets dropped right there.
And that's why this is actually a really good piece, because at least it's letting you know, even if it's in passing, what the actual agenda is, or total digital verification for all apps.
Like, I just want everybody to see, watch, watch, watch.
Watch on my phone.
See that?
Watch this.
Whoop-a-da-doo!
No Lockie!
No Cody Lockie!
No iris scan locky.
No face scan locky.
No locky for Jason.
Open bookie.
Alright, but so many people have just handed over their thumbprint.
Even right there, you can kind of see it on this case.
It's got the biometric thumbprint reader.
No thanks.
No thanks, Hank!
In June, for example, Okta gave users the option of logging in with their World ID. That, of course, assumes that the privacy tech involving zero-knowledge proofs is correctly used to actually shield the biometric data that was captured to create the ID in the first place.
And then there's the WLD token itself.
The white paper says a total of 10 billion tokens will be released onto the market over the next 15 years.
But in practice, the biggest incentive appears to be the $60 worth of WLD coin that is handed out to people outside the U.S. who sign up for a World ID. That's also a big part of what's plagued the optics of the project.
Muvia, who works in fraud prevention and customer security for crypto exchange Yellowcard, told me that he wasn't convinced when he read the Worldcoin white paper, so he steered clear of the project entirely.
When I spoke to them, I asked them, "Okay, what does this do?
And what do you mean I'm going to get free world coins and I'm going to redeem them later?" And I'm like, "Hmm, that's kind of suspicious." So I went away, I went into a restaurant for like three hours, and I went through the white paper.
When I continued to read all of that, I was like, "This is seeming a bit too dystopian for me." So far, the WorldCoin scanning stations remain operational in Uganda.
Kenneth was recruited to be what he calls a runner, one of the frontline staffers who's the face of WorldCoin on the ground.
My job was to, I was a runner first.
A runner is that front desk person that approaches people.
The first face that people see about a project.
So we would stop people over in the shopping malls, universities, in the walkways.
You just stop someone, greet them and ask for a few minutes of their time.
And then once they give you those few minutes, you explain the project to them.
So, again, you have...
Basically, we've all been in a shopping center or a mall, at least from my generation, and somebody's like, hey, we got a little, if you just take this, we got this for you, right?
Those type of things.
That's what this is.
And that's the soft push.
That's not the Chechen gang push that we were talking about.
...paid a commission for everyone that he recruits.
MIT Technology Reviews spoke to people who either worked for or, on behalf of WorldCoin, had been scanned or were unsuccessfully recruited to participate in the project across six different countries.
What they found?
Wide gaps between WorldCoin's public messaging and what users experienced.
In Sudan, for example, a former WorldCoin orb operator told the publication that instead of trying to, quote, explain the concept of digital currencies to people who don't even have an email...
Does that sound familiar?
Remember all the bribery during the COVID-1984 nightmare?
Now, what she didn't read, there's the AirPods.
Read the next line.
In some cases, they also made payments to local government officials.
Oh, what they were not providing was much information.
That initiative led to 20,000 signups.
Governments around the world are taking note and taking action.
Kenya's government has banned WorldCoin's tech altogether and raided their local offices in Nairobi, while France, Germany and the UK have all announced inquiries into the business model, citing privacy concerns with highly sensitive user data like identity scans.
We reached out to WorldCoin about the shutdown in Kenya, and a spokesperson said, quote, During the pause, the team will develop an onboarding program that encompasses more robust crowd control measures and work with local officials to increase understanding of the privacy measures and commitments WorldCoin implements, not just in Kenya, but everywhere.
Corporate Johnny nonsense speak right there.
All right.
But again, since that piece.
Over 7.5 million more users, whether by force or volunteering, it's there.
Folks, here's another issue.
Not about left or right at all.
Always about right and wrong.
It's about the future push, the agenda of digitization, the future of freedom, the future of currency.
So if you like these videos, thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
Go check me out on the other platforms.
And please, please consider buying me a coffee.
$5, $10, $15.
It really does mean the world to me.
Thanks again to all of the big donors out there as well.
There's some alt ways to donate below.
But again, all the documentary films, they are free of charge.
I want you to watch them and share them as well.
Loose Change, Final Cut, Invisible Empire, A New World Order Defined, Shade the Motion Picture, and of course...
Did I already say Invisible Empire, New World Artified?
Man, I missed Fabled Enemies, didn't I? It's a little late on this one, guys.
