"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Venezuela Building a 'Social Credit' Tracking System Based on Chinese Model

"According to Reuters, Nicolás Maduro regime’s recent release of the 'Carnet de la Patria,' or 'Fatherland Card,' to all citizens forms part of a plan to develop widespread control over the population. Venezuelans have needed a card for access to subsidized food, healthcare, and gasoline since 2014. The Maduro regime has recruited China to help the cards expand their use not just to track what citizens eat, but their social, political, and economic behavior."
