  1. hmmmm…I am not 100% sold and wish I could share the enthusiasm. That it’s data, is of grave concern, IMHO.
    Given the despotic political situation in Armenia right now, with such blatant acts undermining democracy, I would not trust it’s government with digital ID and e-government. Given the state of the world, I don’t know that mankind can be trusted with advanced technology at all. Evil currently rules the world at the hands of tech oligarchs who control advanced tech. The Epstein elite, the Zionist Evangelicals are destroying the world.
    Eurasia – may well suffer the same fate as Orwell’s Eurasia in 1984, continuing to control the population through propaganda, surveillance and perpetual war/genocide. First and foremost, the Armenian government must release all Armenian POWs and restore democracy to the people. All else is moot, again IMHO.
