Great coverage of this otherwise hidden story, Janine. My bet is they go for your no. 2 scenario (above) so UBI will be their final bait. We are learning the price of a welfare state. I will share this story around.
"The introduction of digital central bank money would be expected to produce huge social unrest. And it is exactly this problem that the digital-financial complex has quite obviously thought about, to reverse the process of introducing this (digital) currency. So, they won’t try to make this switch to digital currency gradually, but and thereby risking huge resistance will do it exactly the other way around. They will drive society into chaos, in order to present the introduction of digital central bank money as the solution to all problems. Namely, in the form of a Universal Basic Income (UBI)."
It'll be a very sad day when all the work we've put into a long held dream of a UBI - that we intend would begin the end of poverty - is turned into a digitized social control nightmare intended to establish a global slave/master relationship. I'm learning to accept this reality: while I imagine "socialism" as a utopian world of respect and equal distribution of wealth, the word has been stolen and re-interpreted to imagine a twisted totalitarian world that patriarchy minded WEF elected pawns wish to impose on us.
I would say the idea of utopia exists in the imagination. And everything that exists in "reality" started as an idea in someone's imagination. Everything is energy, including ideas, but if there isn't energy to transform an idea into reality, then yes, it exists nowhere except the imagination.
And the people with all the best ideas also seem to be the people who aren't powerful hungry individuals interested in being at the top of a hierarchical heap, and therefore they aren't interested in politics. Or, they go into the political arena with the naive idea that they can make change, but what always seems to happen is that the political arena steals their souls, and all their good ideas. It's like jumping into a mud puddle thinking you won't get muddy. Everyone, regardless of how clean they are to begin with (and regardless of how good their ideas and intentions are), everyone who jumps into the mud puddle gets muddy. And all the good ideas get muddy, and become nightmares. At this point it seems the best we can do is to prevent the nightmares from having the necessary energy to become "reality."
The unavoidable problem with a UBI is that it relies on the centralised authority of the state to administer it. As the past 2 years have demonstrated, we can never, ever trust centralised authority again - and indeed, we never should have trusted it in the first place. We must decentralise if we wish to survive.
Agree ... centralisation is just a way for power to concentrate and become corrupted. Interestingly various cities in the US are experimenting with UBI. They were all hit hard with lockdowns and absolutely NO support, I think they received two $2000 cheques total. Tons of unemployment and homelessness, apparently, is worse than ever. I've heard you can't drive half a mile in California without seeing a tent city. Maybe compassion remains in some smaller centres. https://www.the-sun.com/money/4400813/universal-basic-income-payments-2022/
Personally I think that the 'People Bank' that Catherine Austin Fitts talks about, and microloan schemes like the Grameen Bank, are the way to go. They avoid the 'welfare trap' while incentivising enterprise and community engagement.
I love creative solutions! Democratizing workplaces by setting them up as co-operatives is another proven successful model as evidenced in Spain's Mondragon region and other places. The future, if we have one, will be about diversity and de-centralization. And veganism!

we're learning the price of a corporate capitalist authoritarian state, too!
maybe some of our jabbed allies will share part of their ubi wealth with the segregated naturally immune ?

Unfortunately I don't think socialism is founded on an accurate understanding of the human condition. Utopias are exactly that - they exist nowhere.
