If Social Credit Score, Central Bank Digital Currency, and the Green Agenda came together, you’d get Sweden’s latest innovation of a carbon credit card.

When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, all the evidence about it was promptly swept up and locked away in a time-locked vault. The restriction on those files sunset during the Trump administration, and he still didn’t share it.
A lot of theories continue to swirl around this event.
People were mocked for suggesting socialized healthcare could lead to death panels, whereby the state would determine whether your life is worth saving. Then you read about the MAIDs (Medically Assisted Deaths) in Canada. That number has gone from 1,018 in 2016 to 13,241 in 2022.
People who questioned the policies and information surrounding the pandemic — from 6 feet social distancing, to masks, to lockdowns, to even the origin of the virus itself — were called “conspiracy theorists”… until they were proven right.
There are plenty more that are far worse, but you get the point. Public trust in media is precipitously falling, with the revelations of Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and the Twitter Files.
Public trust in the government is not much better. When you hear elites brazenly talking about things like 15 Minute Cities, eating bugs, and owning nothing, people get skeptical.
While much of the west is peaking, and turning away from globalist control, Sweden has what appears to be a sort of carbon credit card.
The Precursor To the Carbon Credit Card
When westerners learned about China’s social credit score, it seemed like the west went through the five stages of grief:
- Denial: Nah! That’s not really a thing and it would never happen here.
- Anger: Holy cow! They can’t borrow money, travel, or hold a job! That’s outrageous!
- Bargaining: Maybe we only do it to people we don’t like.
- Depression: If I speak up, I’ll get doxed.
- Acceptance: I guess it’s for the best.
The reality is, this isn’t much different than how Woodrow Wilson had neighbors turning against neighbors over their dissenting views. Cancel culture was tried before, but now it’s digitized.
China also instituted a central bank digital currency, which makes it very easy to have our accounts seized or at least frozen. The relationship between government and citizen in China is more like a top down ultimatum.
As for it never happening in the west, just remember the IRS had to apologize to the conservative groups it was unfairly targeting. Lest we forget the more recent case of the Democratic Party suing to keep Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. off the ballot or Tulsi Gabbard and her husband being followed and monitored by air marshals after being added to the Quiet Skies list.
Nothing offers a clear sample of social credit score and CBDC treachery would be quit like the trucker protesters in Canada who had their accounts frozen by their government. Can you see how a Carbon Credit Card fits right into all this?
Throw in the Green Agenda For Good Measure
The elites love climate change. It’s a large tent that provides cover for all sorts of criminality and tyranny. You can line the pockets of cronies as they did with Solyndra. You can impose all sorts of regulations on building, energy, and cars as well as levy taxes in its name.
They do this all while owning large energy consuming mansions, private jets, yachts, and drive SUVs to remote places to dine on animals they think are responsible for global warming; to say nothing of the massive AI data farms that guzzle energy.
And they do THAT, while shaming everyone else for using a plastic bag and incandescent light bulbs.
The UN issued a statement in 2019 warning us: “Only 11 Years Left to Prevent Irreversible Damage from Climate Change“.
We’re always just a few years away from total destruction, you see. And many people still take this deeply to heart.
Enter Doconomy: DO Mobile Banking
In response to this existential threat posed by the weather, Swedish credit card company called Doconomy rolled out a carbon credit card and app that tracks your carbon footprint through your purchases. In so doing, it’s meant to encourage more environmentally conscious purchases.
Transactions have a carbon impact metric alongside them.
To remedy the impact of your purchases:
Users are also invited to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions through projects meeting the UN-certified green project criteria.
UN-certified carbon offset schemes allow clients to invest in environmental projects worldwide to compensate for their carbon footprint. These projects are developed to reduce future emissions and are often located in developing countries. DO offers different themes for these projects.
That’s just the entry level card. You can go even further with Doconomy DO Black! This is their Premium Card offering:
Instead of introducing a premium black credit card with its specific benefits to encourage further consumption, Doconomy does the opposite with Do Black.
It’s the world’s first credit card with a carbon limit, setting a maximum to your footprint for the year.
In other words, it’s the first credit card ever to stop you from overspending based on the level of CO2 emissions generated by your consumption.
Yes, you read that right.
The DO Black card won’t let you buy anything else after you’ve hit your carbon quota.
People thought biometrics were just a hoax. And now people are eagerly signing up to use their eyes and fingerprints to access their bank accounts online. Right now this carbon credit card is a novelty. So were seatbelts… until they became mandatory.
