ANDREW KAUFMAN, MD: Vietnam just deactivated 86 million bank accounts overnight. No warning, no grace period. Individuals who failed to submit biometric data were immediately denied access.

Vietnam just deactivated 86 million bank accounts overnight. No warning, no grace period. Individuals who failed to submit biometric data were immediately denied access. This is not speculation. This is applied state-level biometric enforcement.

How do you pay your bill if your bank account was closed, and they won't let you open an account unless you've submitted your biometric identification?  

St33lMouse explains, 

I live in Vietnam. There was a few months warning. You had to go to the bank and get your biometrics taken. Essentially a photo. If you didn't do it, they locked your account.

It was unwelcome and annoying, but not difficult. I imagine those who didn't do it in time simply got their accounts locked until they came in and got it done.

This sort of thing makes me avoid depositing large amounts of money in Vietnamese banks. It's just self preservation.

All banks under all governments are one of the primary policy levers they have over people, and you should always be wary of banks no matter where you live.

1:50. Glyphosate is introduced at 1:50.  Glyphosate is categorized as an antibiotic, the etymology of which translates to "anti-life."  It's a molecule that you use every single day either directly or indirectly and glyphosate is a very close cousin to Agent Orange it's called an organophosphate by a small company you've never heard of, called Monsanto.  They used it for warfare during the Vietnam War to kill the trees, to defoliate the jungles so that pilots could see the Vietcong, and to shoot them with small caliber weapons to try to disable/incapacitate them so they have to take care of their injured.  It turns out that word got out in the 1970s that there was not a demand for this chemical they had been making, and they knew that it caused cancer.  So they looked for an organophosphate of the same family that was less toxic than Agent Orange.  And this one happened to be patented back in the 1950s, 1959 by a Japanese researcher who made the chemical and patented it and they started buying it up and then we're going to find some use for this chemical, and when they first did it they thought it's going to be really brilliant for cleaning deposits from calcified pipes, basically a biochemical roto-rooter and clean things out.  In 1974, it didn't get patented as a weed killer, but it did make it into Round-Up as the most active ingredient and became the most successful weed killer on earth.  Your community is spraying it on roadsides, and parks, and that chemical has never been patented as a weed killer; it's been patented as an antibiotic.  So now we've got a chemical, that we're spraying worldwide to kill weeds yet it's actually glyphosate, an antibiotic and we're killing the microbiome of the soil we spray that on, which means we're going to start to grow plants that are deficient in nutrients because the microbiome of the plant, just like in the human, it's what feeds us.
