The totalitarian agenda behind Smart Cities has been revealed in a brochure issued by the United Nations - Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat).

The title of the 80-page publication is, in itself, disturbing:

"Centering People in Smart Cities - A Playbook for Local and Regional Governments".

Centering people rather than people centering themselves...?

We see here that the UN regards people as objects, which it owns and can place where it pleases, rather than as free agents who decide themselves where and how to spend their lives.

What does it actually imply to be "centered" by the United Nations and the local and regional governments that blindly follow its orders?

Do they mean "concentrate", perhaps?

 

Concentrating people?

 

Imprisoning them?

 

Forcing them to live confined in a place where they would not have chosen to have lived, had they been free agents?

And the term "smart" is a dishonest one, because the intelligence it implies is of the artificial kind and is not required of the people involved, who are instead expected to relinquish any vestige of control over their own lives, homes and even bodies by allowing digital algorithms to take over the role previously played by their brains and their hearts.

Maybe the title of the brochure could be translated, in plain and truthful English, as,

"Imprisoning People in Digital Concentration Camps..."?

If that sounds like an alarmist exaggeration, please consider the actual content of the brochure.
 

It is repeatedly made clear that there is an overarching agenda behind the smart cities project.

This is described on page 17 as,

"leveraging digital transformation for sustainable and equitable outcomes".

The language is designed to deceive.

"Sustainable", here, has got nothing to do with being environmentally-friendly but indicates ongoing profitability.

 

And "equitable" does not mean "fair" but refers instead to "equity" in the sense of financial assets.

When we, again, translate the misleading verbiage, we understand that smart cities are about creating huge long-term financial profits for those promoting and investing in them.

The same page describes a 2019 UN resolution stating that,

"digital technologies have the potential to facilitate efforts to accelerate human progress, and ensure that no one is left behind in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals".

"Accelerating human progress", from the forked tongue of the global mafia, means nothing more than accelerating their control and profit by means of technological tools, particularly via "new streams of data that feed intelligence platforms".

(page 13)

No one being left behind (often termed "inclusivity") means that they want nobody to escape their net of digital global exploitation.

But our self-appointed rulers came up against a couple of serious problems.
 

Firstly, there are a lot of people in the world who have not yet been turned into smart-phone zombies.

On page 6 the authors bemoan the fact that,

"so many remain outside of the digital world" and on page 9 they complain that "3.7 billion people were offline in 2019".

So how were they going to address this obstacle to their designs in 2020?

In their own words, on page 8:

"The COVID-19 pandemic introduced even greater urgency for local and national governments alike to bridge the digital divide".

The second big problem was that people were wising up to their scheming and refusing to go along with it - even more so now, ironically enough, thanks to their blatant use of Covid to push their project!

They admit on page 14:

"Emerging public awareness of surveillance technology and bias in algorithmic decision-making, particularly in the wake of COVID-19, has also challenged the traditional smart city framework".

The answer, of course, was to ramp up the propaganda and invent yet another weasel word aimed at hiding the vile reality behind what they are trying to do.

From now on, all the talk is evidently going to be about "people-centered smart cities".

Remembering the title of the brochure, we can appreciate the depths to which their language-twisting deceit has sunk.

They think they can get away with calling smart cities "people-centered" not because they will be centered around people and their needs, but because they are about "centering", concentrating, people within their virtual prison walls.
 

This criminal inversion of the truth continues, still on page 14, with the claim that these smart cities will,

"leverage data, technology and services for common good".

Common good?

The reality is revealed on page 21, with its talk of,

"public private partnership", "achieving economic development goals" and "prosperity and growth".

The authors had already stated on page 13 that,

"estimates of global spending on the smart cities market ranges from USD 820.7 billion to USD 2.5 trillion by 2026".

We can be sure that the global development mafia's sustainable goals of prosperity and growth will only have been achieved if the return made from such vast investments is a considerable one!
 

And the final nail which the brochure itself hammers into the coffin of its project's plausibility comes on that same page, in the form of its account of the origins of the "smart city" brand.

It admits:

"It entered mainstream consciousness when IBM initiated the 'Smarter Cities Challenge' in 2010.

 

Under the Smarter Cities Challenge, IBM targeted technology offerings to local governments and developers of urban infrastructure, proposing that computational solutions would serve to optimize city infrastructure".

IBM has gone down in history for its role in providing,

"computational solutions" for Adolf Hitler's murderous "public private partnership" in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.

As this article reminds us, IBM's "streams of data" enabled the regime to innovate inclusive and sustainable people-centered hubs at the likes of Auschwitz and Belsen.
